ALASKA OIL AND GAS CONSERVATION COMMISSION 333 West Seventh Avenue, Suite 100 Anchorage, Alaska 99501 Re: THE APPLICATION OF Evergreen ) Conservation Order No.4 79 Resources (Alaska) Corporation ) ("Evergreen") for an order granting ) Pioneer Unit Wells exceptions to the spacing requirements ) Cook No.1, Lowell No.2, of20 AAC 25.055(a)(2) and (a)(4) to ) Bering No.3, & BaronoffNo. 4 provide for the drilling and testing of the ) Drilling and Testing Cook No.1, Lowell No.2, Bering No.3, ) and BaronoffNo. 4 wells in an undefmed ) coalbed methane gas pool. ) October 29, 2002 IT APPEARING THAT: 1. Evergreen by letters dated September 7, 2002 has requested an order allowing spacing exceptions to drill and test the Cook No.1, Lowell No.2, Bering No.3, and Baronoff No.4 wells in accordance with 20 AAC 25.055. 2. These proposed vertical wells will be drilled within Section 30, TI8N, Rl W, Seward Meridian ("SM"). 3. Bering No.3 will be less than 1,500' from a property line. 4. Baronoff No.4, Lowell No.2, and Cook No.1 will be less than 1,500' from a property line and closer than 3,000' to wells drilled to the same pool. These wells will be the second, third and fourth gas production wells, respectively, in Section 30, T18N, Rl W, SM. 5. The Commission published notice of opportunity for public hearing in the Anchorage Daily News on September 11, 2002 and in The Frontiersman on September 13, 2002, pursuant to 20 AAC 25.540. 6. No protests to the applications were received. FINDINGS: 1. The Cook No.1 well will be located 991 feet FSL and 888 feet FEL, Section 30, TI8N, Rl W, SM. \ . . . o . , The Lowell No. 2 well will be located 967 feet FSL and 1329 feet FEL, Section 30, T18N, R1W, SM. The Bering No. 3 well will be located 1523 feet FSL and 471 feet FEL, Section 30, T18N, R1W, SM. The BaronoffNo. 4 well will be located 504 feet FSL and 423 feet FEL, Section 30, T18N, R1W, SM. Evergreen proposes to drill these four wells as a pilot project to test producibility of potential coalbed methane resources within the Tertiary-aged Tyonek Formation of the Pioneer Unit. Evergreen sent notice of the application for spacing exception by certified mail to all offset owners, landowners, and operators of all properties within 3000' of the proposed wells. The Division of Governmental Coordination has determined that an ACMP consistency review is not required for.this project. CONCLUSIONS: 1. Closely spaced wells are appropriate for coalbed methane testing and development projects. , Exceptions to the well spacing provisions of 20 AAC 25.055 (a)(2) are necessary for the drilling and testing of the Cook No. 1, Lowell No. 2, Bering No. 3, and Baronoff No. 4 wells. 3. Exceptions to the well spacing provisions of 20 AAC 25.055 (a)(4) are necessary for the drilling and testing of the Cook No. 1, Lowell No. 2, and BaronoffNo. 4 wells. , Granting spacing exceptions to allow drilling and testing of the Cook No. 1, Lowell No. 2, Bering No.3, and Baronoff No. 4 wells will not result in waste or jeopardize the correlative rights of adjoining or nearby owners. o Before regular production is permitted from the Cook No. 1, Lowell No. 2, Bering No.3, and Baronoff No. 4 wells, the Commission must take such action as will offset any advantage which the person securing the exception may have over other producers by reason of the drilling and testing of the wells as an exception, and so that drainage to the tract with respect to which the exception is granted will be prevented or minimized. AS 31.05.100(b). Conservation Order No. 479 Page 2 of 3 October 29, 2002 NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED: Evergreen's applications for exceptions to the well spacing provisions of 20 AAC 25.055(a)(2) and (a)(4) to drill and test the Cook No. 1, Lowell No. 2, Bering No.3, and Baronoff No. 4 wells are approved. These wells may not be placed on regular production until the Commission takes additional action, upon petition, and after notice and hearing, to offset any advantage Evergreen may have over other owners by reason of drilling the wells at the exception locations. DONE at Anchorage, Alaska and dated October 29, 2002. Cammy o~hsli Taylor, Ch~ Alaska Oil~hnd Gas Conservation Commission Daniel T. Seamount, Jr., Commissioner Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission Michael L. Bill, Commissioner Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission 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 tbr rehearing. A request for rehearing must be received by 4:30 PM on the 23rd day fbllowing 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 10-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 tbr 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 da), after the application for reheating was filed).

Attached to this letter is information required under 20 AAC 25.055 (d), which enables the commission to grant such an waiver. Evergreen chose to drill in this location due to surface and mineral ownership, location with respect to the Pittman Anticline and close proximity to existing infrastructure. Retaining this spacing is vital to our program. Evergreen contacted all of the offset mineral interest owners within 3,000 feet and all of them are not opposed to our exploration activities.

Because the well will be situated within 1,500 feet from the property line and because there is more than 1 well per section, Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (AOGCC) regulations, specifically, 20 ,&AC 25.055), requires us to notify all mineral interest owners within 3,000 feet. Your agency has mineral interests within 3,000 feet of the subject well. Evergreen requests that you support our efforts to explore for coot bed methane natural gas within the Pioneer Unit. We request that you allow this well spacing exception to occur. Our preliminary analyses indicate that these wells need to be situated as we propose in order to be viable. If this test pilot is successful, further exploration will occur that may ultimately result in full field development. The AOGCC will notify the public of this request. Thank you for your time and consideration.
