STATE OF ALASKA ALASKA OIL AND GAS CONSERVATION COMMISSION 333 West 7th Avenue, Suite 100 Anchorage AK 99501 Re: THE APPLICATION OF Union) Conservation Order No. 493 Oil Company of California ) for an order granting an ) exception to spacing ) requiremen ts of ) Title 20 MC 25.055 to ) Happy Valley No.2 provide for the drilling ) and regular production ) of the Happy Valley No.2) July 30,2003 gas development Well. ) IT APPEARING THAT: 1. Union Oil Company of California (UNOCAL) submitted an application dated June 23, 2003 requesting exception to the well spacing provisions of Title 20 AAC 25.055(a)(4) to allow drilling the Happy Valley No.2, gas development well to a location which is within 3000 feet, and within the same governmental section as the Happy Valley No.1 gas well. 2. Notice of opportunity for public hearing was published in the Anchorage Daily News on June 26, 2003 pursuant to 20 MC 25.540. 3. No protests to the application were received. FINDINGS: 1. The Happy Valley No.2 gas development well will be drilled as a deviated hole with a surface location 1165 feet from the east line and 1234 feet from the south line of Section 22, T2S RI3W, Seward Meridian (SM) to a bottomhole location 3438 feet from the east line and 2956 feet from the south line of Section 22, T2S RI3W, SM. Conservation Orde~ Page 2of3 July 30, 2003 493 , Offset landowners, owners and operators within 3,000 feet of the anticipated productive interval of the Happy Valley No. 2 well have been notified. 3. No protests to the spacing exception application were received. . The location of the Happy Valley No. 2 well was selected as the most favorable structural position for Tyonek Formation gas reserves available from the existing Happy Valley pad. , An exception to the well spacing provisions of Title 20 AAC 25.055 (a)(4) is necessary to allow the drilling of the Happy Valley No. 2 gas development well. CONCLUSIONS: 1. The requested spacing exception for the Happy Valley No. 2 well should be granted, except that the Commission must take such action as will offset any advantage which UNOCAL may have over adjoining owners by reason of the drilling the Happy Valley No. 2 well as an exception, and so that drainage to the tract with respect to which the exception is granted will be prevented or minimized. 2. Evaluation of the lateral extent of the Tyonek Formation gas reserves in the Happy Valley No. 2 well will be required to insure protection of the correlative rights of adjoining owners. NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED: 1. UNOCAL's application for exception to the well spacing provision of 20 AAC 25.055(a)(4) is conditionally approved. Conservation Ordef~ Page 3 of 3 July 30, 2003 493 2. The Happy Valley No. 2 well may not be placed on regular production until UNOCAL has evaluated the lateral extent of the Tyonek Formation gas reserves in the Happy Valley No. 2 and the Commission has been provided that evaluation and has had the opportunity to take additional action to offset any advantage UNOCAL may have over other owners by reason of drilling Happy Valley No. 2 to the exception location.
