STATE OF ALASKA ALASKA OIL AND GAS CONSERVATION COMMISSION 333 West Seventh Avenue, Suite 100 Anchorage Alaska 99501 THE APPLICATION OF Union ) Oil Company of California ) ("UNOCAL") for an order granting ) an exception to the spacing requirements of ) 20 AAC 25.055(a)(2) to provide for the ) drilling and production of the Swanson ) River Unit KGSF No.7 gas storage well. ) Conservation Order No. 520 Swanson River Unit KGSF No.7 Drilling and Production July 20, 2004 IT APPEARING THAT: 1. Union Oil Company of California (UNOCAL) submitted an application dated May 10, 2004 requesting exception to the well spacing provisions of Title 20 AAC 25.055(a)(2) to allow drilling the Swanson River Unit (SRU) KGSF No.7, gas storage well to a location which is within 1500 feet of a property line between two landowners; 2. Notice of opportunity for public hearing was published in the Anchorage Daily News on May 14,2004, with a correction published on May 20,2004 pursuant to 20 AAC 25.540; and 3. No protests to the application or requests for hearing were received. FINDINGS: 1. The SRU KGSF No.7 gas storage well is proposed to be deviated with a surface location 425 feet from the east line and 1999 feet from the south line of Section 28, T8N R9W, Seward Meridian (SM) and a bottomhole location 61 feet from the east line and 3192 feet from the south line of Section 28, T8N R9W, SM. 2. The proposed bottom hole location of the SRU KGSF No.7 well would be located on lease A-028399 with the Bureau of Land Management as landowner and 61 feet from its boundary with lease A-028406 with Cook Inlet Region, Inc. as landowner. 3. Offset landowners, owners and operators within 3,000 feet of the anticipated storage interval of the SRU KGSF No.7 well have all been notified. ~ ~\ 4. The location of the SRU KGSF No.7 well was selected as a favorable structural position for recovery of stored gas reserves. 5. An exception to the well spacing provisions of Title 20 AAC 25.055 (a)(2) is necessary to allow the drilling of the SRU KGSF No.7 gas storage well. CONCLUSION: Granting a spacing exception to allow drilling and production of the SRU KGSF No.7 gas storage well will not result in waste or jeopardize the correlative rights of adjoining or nearby owners, landowners and operators. NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED: UNOCAL's application for exception to the well spacing provision of 20 AAC 25.055(a)(2) for the purpose of drilling and producing the SRU KGSF No.7 gas storage well is approved. AS 31.05.080 provides that within 20 days after receipt of written notice of the entry of an órder, 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 IO-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., lOth day after the application for rehearing was filed).

Our anticipated spud date is late May, early June, 2004. In accordance with 20 AAC 25.005 (a), a Permit to Drill and associated filing fees are filed herewith. The SRU KGSF #7 well is situated in governmental Section 28, 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 KGSF #7 well be successful, said well will be within l,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 ifthe 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 and unit boundary 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 should you deem it necessary. This well location is structurally high on the formation and is a crestal withdrawal based on seismic, dip meter and subsurface data available to ,l', , .-., .~. ~ " v.- 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)(1), 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 KGSF #7 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-1" 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, if necessary, to the statewide spacing regulation for the drilling of the proposed SRU KGSF #7 well. If you require additional information regarding the SRU KGSF #7 drill site, please contact Mr. Steven Lambe, drilling engineer at 263-7637, or you may contact the undersigned at 907-263-7600, . ~lJ cLU.- Kevin A, Tabler Enclosures cc: CIRI BLM .^ ,_. .r--. ~ ./ VERIFICATION OF APPLICATION FOR SPACING EXCEPTION COOK INLET, ALASKA A-028399 A-028406 SRU KGSF #7 well I, KEVIN A.
