July 20, 1999 Notice of Public Hearing, Affidavit of Publication Conservation Order 448 r r STATE OF ALASKA ALASKA OIL AND GAS CONSERVATION COMMISSION 3001 Porcupine Drive Anchorage Alaska 99501-3192 Re: THE APPLICATIONS OF OCEAN ENERGY RESOURCES, INC. for an exception to spacing requirements of 20 AAC 25.055(a)(2) and the notice provisions of 20 AAC 25.055(b) to allow re-entry and testing of the BLT #1 exploratory gas well. Conservation Order No. 448 Ocean Energy Resources, Inc. BLT #1 Exploratory Gas Well August 11, 1999 IT APPEARING THAT: 1. Union Oil Company of California ("Unocal") submitted applications dated July 13, 1999, requesting a spacing exception to 20 AAC 25.055(a)(2) and a variance from the public notice provisions of 20 AAC 25.055(b) to allow re-entry and testing of the BLT #1 exploratory gas well. 2. Ocean Energy Resource, Inc. ("Ocean Energy") assumed operatorship of the Pioneer Unit, including the BLT #1 well, from Unocal prior to expiration of the protest period. 3. The Commission published notice of an opportunity for hearing in the Anchorage Daily News and the Frontiersman on July 20, 1999, pursuant to 20 AAC 25.540. 4. The Commission did not receive any protest to the application. FINDINGS: 1. Ocean Energy proposes to reenter and test the BLT #l, which is located 1334 feet from the west line, 795 feet from the north line in Section 22, T17N, R3W, Seward Meridian. 2. Ocean Energy and Unocal are the owners of State of Alaska lease ADL 374124, which includes Section 22, T17N, R3W, S.M. 3. The BLT #1 well was previously drilled by ARCO Alaska, Inc. in 1992 under the authority of Permit to Dri1191-130 and Conservation Order 280. CO 280 granted the original spacing exception for the well on November 21, 1991. Conservation Order 4~ ~ August 11, 1999 Page 2 4. Ocean Energy plans to evaluate the well for gas, but does not plan to commercially produce the well at this time. 5. The public notice provisions of 20 AAC 25.055(b) require notification by registered mail of all owners and operators within all sections directly and diagonally offsetting the section where the gas well is located. 6. The ownership of the nine square miles surrounding the BLT #1 well is highly complex because of the many residential lots in the area. Varied subsurface and surface ownership exists, which would require mailing hundreds of notices to the mineral and surface owners in the area. 7. As part of the Alaska Coastal Zone Management review process, the Department of Governmental Coordination ("DGC") held two public meeting in the Houston/Wasilla area during May and June to inform the public of the proposed Pioneer Unit development, including operations in the BLT #1 well. Ocean Energy, Unocal and other state agencies participated in these meetings. 8. The DGC advertised the public meetings and issued public notification of the project in various forms of media publications including postings at local post offices. 9. Unocal sent notice to all owners within a 1/2 mile radius of the BLT #1 well prior to the public meetings. CONCLUSIONS: 1. An exception to 20 AAC 25.055(a)(2) is necessary to allow re-entry of the BLT #1 well. 2. Production testing of the BLT #1 well will not violate the correlative rights of adjacent owners. 3. A variance from the public notice provisions of 20 AAC 25.055(b) for re-entry of the BLT #1 is warranted in the context of the complex ownership and the extensive notification and public meetings previously conducted. 4. If commercial production from the BLT #1 well is ultimately proposed, the Commission will be required to take further action to offset any advantage that Ocean Energy may have over other producers from the drilling and re-entry of the BLT #1 well at its exception location. Such action may include, but is not limited to, insuring that drainage from adjacent tracts is prevented or minimized, or insuring that Ocean Energy is allowed to produce no more than a just and equitable share of oil and gas from any common pool. NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED: Conservation Order 4 ~ August 11, 1999 Page 3 Ocean Energy's applications for an exception to the spacing requirements of 20 AAC 25.055(a)(2) and the notice provisions of 20 AAC 25.055(b) for the purpose of reentering and testing the BLT #1 well is approved under the following conditions. 1. The BLT #1 exploratory gas well must be tested to determine the well's potential to produce commercial quantities of hydrocarbons. 2. The BLT #1 well may not be commercially produced until the commission takes additional action, upon petition and after notice and hearing, to (a) offset any advantage Ocean Energy may have over other owners by reason of re-entry of the BLT #1 well at the exception location, and (b) allow affected owners to produce their just and equitable share of hydrocarbons. DONE at Anchorage, Alaska and dated August 11, 1999. ~~~' ~~ ~' -~,~ Robert N. Christenson, P. E., Chairman Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission ~ - ~w, u~~~ .. ,~... ,,,: , ~. ~pti9~ ~T~~~ COQ"' David W. Johnston, Alaska Oil end Gas AS 31.05.080 provides that within 20 days after receipt of written notice of the entry of an order, a person affected by it may file with the Commission an application for rehearing. A request for rehearing must be received by 4:30 PM on the 23rd day following the date of the order, or next working day if a holiday or weekend, to be timely filed. The Commission shall grant or refuse the application in whole or in part within 10 days. The Commission can refuse an application by not acting on it within the ] 0-day period. An affected person has 30 days from the date the Commission refuses the application or mails (or otherwise distributes) an order upon rehearing, both being the final order of the Commission, to appeal the decision to Superior Court. Where a request for rehearing is denied by nonaction of the Commission, the 30 day period for appeal to Superior Court runs from the date on which the request is deemed denied (i.e., 10th day after the application for rehearing was filed).

The exception would allow UNOCAL to re-enter and test the BLT #1 gas well within 1500' of a governmental section line. The well will be drilled as a vertical hole from a surface location 1334' from the west line and 795' from the north line of Section 22, T17N, R3W, Seward Meridian. UNOCAL also requests by letter dated July 13, 1999, a variance from the notice provisions of 20 AAC 25.055(b) that requires notice to be mailed to all owners in governmental sections directly and diagonally offsetting the section in which the well is located. UNOCAL requests the Commission substitute this notice published in the Frontiersman and Anchorage Daily News. UNOCAL is requesting the variance for the following reasons: the proposed activity is limited to drilling and testing only; there has been extensive public notice regarding the Pioneer Unit plan of exploration; UNOCAL has provided notice to all owners within one-half mile of the BLT #1 well; and that before regular production occurs requiring a spacing exception, further notice and public hearing will be provided. A person who objects to the requested variance or spacing exception may file a written protest prior to 4:00 PM, August 4, 1999 with the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission, 3001 Porcupine Drive, Anchorage, Alaska 99501, and request a hearing on either or both matters. If a protest is timely filed a hearing on the matter(s) will be held at the above address at 9:00 AM on August 19, 1999 in conformance with 20 AAC 25.540.

Christenson, Chairman Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission 3001 Porcupine Drive Anchorage, Alaska 99501-3192 PIONEER UNIT State of Alaska Exception to Notice Provision 20 AAC 25.055 (b) Dear Mr. Christenson: Union Oil Company of California (Unocal), as current Operator of the Pioneer Unit, requests an exception to the notice provision of 20 AAC 25.055 (b) for the BLT #1 Well Re-entry. This well is a required well under the Plan of Exploration for the Pioneer Unit. Application for Permit to Drill was previously submitted. For purposes of this application, Unocal is submitting same as Operator, pending Alaska Oil and Gas Commission (AOGCC) approval and transfer of Operatorship to Ocean Energy Resources, Inc. (Ocean). Exception from the notice provision contained in 20 AAC 25.055 (b) is necessary and warranted for the re-entry and testing of this well. Unocal and its partner Ocean, are the only Lessees and Operator within the Unit area. As this is a required well under the Plan of Exploration for the Pioneer Unit, and the first of four (4) wells to be drilled prior to October 1, 1999; the difficulty in conducting a full surface and mineral ownership title examination and notification prior to the approximate BLT #1 Re-entry spud date of August 1, 1999, is impossible and unnecessary. Varied subsurface and surface ownerships exist throughout the Unit area. In sections directly or diagonally offsetting the section where the proposed well is located, Unocal and Ocean are the predominant Lessees. Extensive leasing and property owner notifications have already occurred around this well. Effectively, the offsetting governmental sections are under lease or will be under control of Unocal and Ocean. In order to fully satisfy the requirements ~ ~ of 20 AAC 25.055 (b), 5,760 acres of land and its corresponding surface and mineral owners, representing hundreds of notifications, would have to be occur prior to August 1, 1999. This request for exception to the notification requirement is clearly supported by both the foregoing, and the actions already taken below. Unocal and Ocean have conducted two public meetings, one in May and the other in June, in the Wasilla /Houston area to inform the public of the proposed well locations and Plan of Operations. The Department of Governmental Coordination under the Coastal Zone Management review, advertised and sent out public notification of the entire project in various forms of media publications, including posting same at the local post offices. Unocal sent notice to all owners within '/ mile of the well location informing them of the proposed well activity and invited them to attend the public meetings. Additionally, notice was placed in the Anchorage Daily News and the Frontiersman. Numerous phone conversations and personal contacts have occurred with the property owners in the area. Legislators and Matanuska Susitna Borough officials were contacted and informed of the proposed operations. Finally, as evidence of the extent notification had occurred, the Wasilla City Council passed a Resolution in support of the proposed drilling activities. In conclusion, we feel that adequate notice has been provided all affected property owners, and ask that an exception to the notification provision of 20 AAC 25.055 (b) be granted for the BLT #1 Well Re-entry .
