Tabler, Manager Land/Government Affairs Alaska Oil & Gas Cons. Commission Anchorage April 23, 2004 Mr. Bob Crandall Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission 333 West 7th Avenue, Suite 100 Anchorage, Alaska 99501 APPLICATION FOR SPACING EXCEPTION Swanson River Unit (SRU) 241-16 well A-028277, A-028406, A-028405 Dear Mr. Crandall: Union Oil Company of California (Unocal) hereby submits this Application for Spacing Exception to drill the referenced "SRU 241-16" well in the Swanson River Field. Our anticipated spud date is in May, 2004. In accordance with 20 AAC 25.005 (a), a Permit to Drill and associated filing fees are filed herewith. The SRU 241-16 well is situated in governmental Section 16, Township 8N - Range 9W S.M. and may require a spacing exception in accordance with 20 AAC 25.055 (a)(2). Should the results of the SRU 241-16 well be successful, said well will be within 1,500' of a property line with a different royalty percentage landowner. This regulation provides in pertinent part, "a wellbore may be open to test or regular production within 1,500 feet of a property line only if the owner is the same and the landowner is the same on both sides of the line." In this instance the owner and the landowner are the same on each side of the property line however, the same landowners hold different royalty percentages in the captioned offsetting leases. Although Unocal believes the landowner is the same per the definition of landowner (AS 31.05.170 (7)), in an overabundance of caution, we are submitting this application for spacing exception. This well location is structurally high on the formation and is a crestal withdrawal based on seismic, dip meter and subsurface data available to Unocal. Additionally, the correlative rights of all affected owners, landowners and operators will be protected by exception approval. ~ ~ At the date of this mailing, in accordance with 20 AAC 25.055 (d)(l), notice of our intent to drill has been sent by certified mail to all owners, landowners, and operators of all outlying properties within 3,000 feet of the SRU 241-16 well. This application was sent to each landowner and constitutes "landowner notice". Certified mailing receipts are attached to this application. Pursuant to 20 AAC 25.055 (d)(2), enclosed is a plat, identified as Exhibit "A", which shows the location of the well for which the exception is sought and all adjoining properties. Also enclosed, Exhibit "A-I" identifies the owners, landowners and operators associated with each tract. Pursuant to 20 AAC 25.055 (d)(3), an affidavit is enclosed stating the undersigned is acquainted with the facts and verifying that all facts are true. It is requested that the Commission approve an exception to the statewide spacing regulation for the drilling of the proposed SRU 241-16 well. If you require additional information regarding the SRU 241-16 drill site, please contact Mr. Steven Lambe, drilling engineer at 263-7637, or you may contact the undersigned at 907-263- 7600.
