and regular production of the) Kuparuk River Unit Well 1B-20
Kuparuk River Unit 1B-20 oil)
development well. ) September 10, 2003
IT APPEARING THAT:
1. ConocoPhillips Alaska, Inc. ("ConocoPhillips"), by letter dated June
25, 2003 and received by the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation
Commission ("Commission") on June 30, 2003, requests exception
to the well spacing provisions of Rule 3, Conservation Order 432B
to allow drilling and regular production of the Kuparuk River Unit
("KRU") 1B-20 oil development well to a location which is within
the same governmental quarter section as an existing oil
production well.
2. Notice of opportunity for public hearing was published in the
Anchorage Daily News on July 7, 2003 pursuant to
20 MC 25.540.
3. No protests to the application were received.
FINDINGS:
1. The KRU 1B-20 oil development well will be drilled as a deviated
hole with a surface location 497 feet from the north line ("FNL")
and 820 feet from the east line ("FEL") of Section 9, T 11 N, R 1 OE,
Umiat Meridian ("UM") to a bottomhole location 2639 feet FNL and
12 feet from the FEL of Section 8, T11N, R10E, UM.
2. The location of the KRU 1B-20 well was selected as the most
favorable structural position to recover fault-isolated oil reserves in
Conservation Ordei
Page 2 of 3

the Kuparuk River Formation that are not recoverable with the
current well pattern.
3. The KRU lB-20 well bore will open the Kuparuk River Oil Pool to
production in the NW 1/4 of Section 9 and the NE 1/4 of Section
8, T1 iN, R10E, UM.
4. The anticipated productive portion of the KRU lB-20 well bore that
lies in Section 9, Ti IN, R10E, UM is within the same governmental
quarter section as the KRU lB-13 oil production well. Drilling of,
and production from, this portion of the KRU lB-20 well bore
requires an exception to the spacing provisions of Rule 3,
Conservation Order 432B.
5. The anticipated productive portion of the KRU lB-20 well bore that
lies in Section 8, T1 iN, R10E, UM does not require an exception
because, per Rule 3 of Conservation Order 432B, an unrestricted
number of wells may be drilled in that section.
6. Offset landowners, owners and operators within 3,000 feet of the
anticipated productive interval of the KRU lB-20 well have been
notified.
7. No protests to the spacing exception application were received.
CONCLUSIONS:
1. An exception to the well spacing provisions of Rule 3, Conservation
Order 432B is necessary to allow the drilling and production of the
KRU lB-20 oil development well.
2. Granting the requested spacing exception for the KRU lB-20 well
will promote more efficient recovery of oil reserves and will not
result in waste or jeopardize the correlative rights of adjoining or
nearby owners.
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED:
1. ConocoPhillips' application for exception to the well spacing
provision of Rule 3, Conservation Order 432B to allow the drilling
and production of the KRU lB-20 oil development well is approved.

Re: Application for Spacing Exception, producer 1B-20
~. ~ ~,~" :t ........
JUN 3 O 2__003
Oil &
Dear Commissioner Palin:
ConocoPhillips Alaska, Inc. hereby applies for a Spacing Exception an onshore production well, KRU lB-
20, a development well. The proposed 1B-20 is designed as an infill Kuparuk A and C sand producer.
This new well will recover A and C Sand waterflood and enhanced oil recovery (EOR) reserves that are
located in a fault isolated area. Risked A and C Sand incremental reserves are 1.08 and 0.56 MMSTBO,
respectively. These reserves are not recoverable with the current well pattern configuration. In addition,
well 1B-20 will provide additional implementation of the Kuparuk EOR project and will add a total of 363
MSTB of EOR reserves.
The requested exception refers to the well spacing requirements specified in Rule 3 of Conservation
Order 432B, which states: "Not more than one well may be drilled on any governmental quarter
section...", because a portion of the prospective pay interval in 1B-20 will lie within the NW 1/4 of Section
9, T 11N, R10E, U.M., and that portion of 1B-20 will be the second well drilled within that particular
quarter section (the other well being the existing 1B-13 production well). Property line considerations do
not apply, as the 1B-20 well bore will be in the main portion of the Kuparuk River Unit, and therefore will
be more than 500 feet from a property line where ownership or landownership changes. Offset well
distance requirements do no apply because the 1B-20 well bore will lie more than 1000 feet from other
wells completed within the pool. The portion of the 1B-20 well bore that lies in Section 8, T11N, R10E,
U.M. does not require an exception because, per Rule 3 of CO 432B, an unrestricted number of wells
may be drilled in that section.
Adjusting the directional profile to move the productive interval completely into Section 8, T11N, R10E is
undesirable because there is a distinct possibility of the C4 target being completely faulted out of the well
bore. The fault has an estimated throw of -20 feet at the top Kuparuk, and the C4 is estimated at ~20
feet thick. If the C4 sand was completely faulted out, it would result in a loss of 34% of the projects
reserves. The A4 target will likely be pushed to the West of the fault, which seems discontinuous and to
be intermittently baffling in the lower Kuparuk in this area. This would likely impact recovery, if the well is
on the West of the lower K faulting. Even though the well design requires us to perforate the Kuparuk C
sand prior to running the single selective completion, we do not intend to produce or test the well until we
receive a spacing exception.
Please find attached for the review of the Commission the information required by 20 AAC 25.055 (d).
We have included a plat showing the location of 1B-20, all other completed and drilling wells on the
property, and all adjoining wells within 1,000 feet. Also included is a copy of the notices sent by certified
mail to our co-owners and the affidavit verifying that all facts are true. If you have any questions or
require any further information, please contact Shane Cloninger at 265-6829.
