Houston No. 4 development gas well. GRI, Inc. by letter dated March 5, 1998 has requested an exception to the provisions of 20 AAC 25.055(a)(4) for the drilling of a development gas well on State Oil and Gas Lease ADL 374129.

Our new proposed location for Houston 4 is on our portion of the State oil and gas lease ADL 374129 at T18N R2W S 10, approximately 100 feet west of the east section line, and approximately 2500 feet north of the south section line, as shown on the attached map. "Notice of Change of Ownership" and "Designation of Operator" forms for Section 10 were lodged with the AOGCC recently. Our deadline to spud this well is March 31, 1998 when the lease expires, although we would like to spud the well about March 20, 1998. This new location alleviates the need to gain access to the drill site through 1500 feet of forested state land, resulting in less environmental degradation and lower drilling and operations costs. Since this well is not within the boundaries of the Houston Gasfield, a DEC Financial Responsibility Instrument of $1,000,000 will be in place before spudding the well. The terms and conditions related to the environmental and drilling permits remain applicable. Please issue the Houston 4 drill permit as soon as possible. The affected landowners are Unocal and the Federal Government (BLM), I have notified each by registered mail, in addition to contacting each by phone to discuss the spacing exception. Each has indicated that they will not object to the well being drilled closer than 1500 feet to, or adjacent to their lands. I have also discussed the project with the surface owners in the affected area, and have received no adverse comments regarding the project. In fact, residents are generally supportive of any effort to connect the Brea to a source of gas. Sincerely, c David W.
