As per your request ARCO is submitting the following information concerning the Neve #lA Application for Permit to Drill and the spacing exception that is required for this bottom hole location. The Neve #1A well will be a sidetrack drilled out from the Neve #1 wetlbore after the original well is plugged back. The Neve #IA well has the following planned locations: Surface Location: Target Location: TD Location: 2440' FWL, 465' FNL, Sec 14, T1 IN, R4E 30'FWL, 1665'FSL, Sec 14, TllN, R4E 205' FEL, 1358' FSL, Sec 15, T1 IN, R4E A spacing exception was approved for the original target location in the SW 1/4 of Section 14. The new target is still in the SW 1/4 of Section 14 but the well will reach total depth in Section 15. As shown above, the target is located 30' FWL of Section 14 but the well will reach total depth 205' FEL of Section 15. There is a section line between the target and total depth of this well, but there is not a lease line. Since there is not a property ownership change between the location shown on the present spacing exception and the planned total depth location, ARCO requests that a new spacing exception not be required. In a new spacing exception applicaton, the same parties would be notified again who have already reviewed and approved the location shown on the present spacing exception. The present lease holders are a/so working interest participants in the well. Attached to this letter is the revised Application for Permit to Drill 401 which shows the new target and total depth. Please replace the old 401 form with the corrected one. If you have questions or require additional information, please contact me at 265-I492 in our Anchorage office.
