UNOCAL by letter dated June 11, 2004 has requested an order allowing a spacing exception to drill and test the Happy Valley No. 8 well in accordance with 20 AAC 25.055. 2. The Commission published notice of opportunity for public hearing in the Anchorage Daily News on July 1, 2004, pursuant to 20 AAC 25.540. 3. No protests to the application were received. FINDINGS: 1. The surface location of this well is 1324 feet from the south line ("FSL") and 1203 feet from the east line ("FEL") of Section 22, T2S, R13W, Seward Meridian ("S.M."). The projected bottom hole location for this well is 2062 feet FSL, 1173 feet FEL, Section 21, T2S, R13W, S.M. 2. An exception to the well spacing provisions of 20 AAC 25.055 (a)(2) is necessary for the drilling and testing of this well. The anticipated productive intervals in the Beluga and Tyonek Formations of the Happy Valley No. 8 gas development well, if successful, will be within 1500 feet of a property line between two landowners. 3. An exception to the well spacing provisions of 20 AAC 25.055 (a)(4) is necessary for the drilling and testing of this well. The anticipated productive interval in the Tyonek Formation of the Happy Valley No. 8 gas development well, if successful, will be within 3,000 feet and in the same pool as the productive interval in the Happy Valley No. 1 gas development well. 4. UNOCAL sent notice of the application for spacing exception by certified mail to all offset owners, landowners, and operators of all properties within 3,000 feet of the proposed Happy Valley 8 well. Conservation Order 528 August 6, 2004 Page 2 of 2 5. No protests to the spacing exception application were received 6. The location of the Happy Valley No. 8 well was selected on the basis of a favorable structural position for recovery of gas reserves from the Beluga and Tyonek Formations that are not believed to recoverable from the Happy Valley No. 1 well. 7. Happy Valley Wells No.'s 1 and 8 are located within the Deep Creek Unit. CONCLUSIONS: 1. An exception to 20 AAC 25.055(a)(2) & (4) is necessary to allow drilling and production of the Happy Valley No. 8 gas development well. 2. Granting a spacing exception to allow drilling and testing of the Happy Valley No. 8 well will not result in waste or jeopardize the correlative rights of adjoining or nearby owners. NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED: UNOCAL's application for exception to the well spacing provisions of 20 AAC 25.055(a) (2) and (4) for the purpose of drilling and producing the Happy Valley No. 8 gas development well is approved. ~ DONE Alaska and ~~ ' ~ ~ I ~~ \~ / ,~'~ ~~ 6 .~ ~~ ~- ~~1 ~ l~ , '~t n'~ Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission ~ ~~~ Daniel T.

Unocal has been disappointed by the deliverability of the wells and has adopted a well spacing that is less than the statewide regulations as a result. Additional drilling in this pool after the Happy Valley #8 well will require pool rules, in order to accommodate development of this low permeability reservoir. 7/30/04 ~~ Bob Crandall ~3 Happy Valley #8 :] Subject: t-Iahhy Valley rt8 From: "t:ambe, Steven S" <lambesici~unocal.com=~ Date: Wcd, >i) .Iun 200=1 1l>:45:37 -000 ~'o: "Crandall, Robe.r-t P -~~OGCC" <-bob crauc3a11("u)admin.state.ak.us> Bob- Thank you for thinking ahead on Happy Valley #8.

Our anticipated spud date is June, 2004. In accordance with 20 AAC 25.005 (a), a Permit to Drill and associated filing fees are filed herewith. The Happy Valley #8 well bottomhole location is situated in governmental Section 21, Township 2S -Range 13 W S.M. with a targeted Beluga formation withdrawal point in Section 22 Township 2S-Range 13W requiring a spacing exception in accordance with 20 AAC 25.055 (a)(2), and if the results of the Happy Valley #8 well are successful, may be within 1,500' of a property line with a different 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." 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)(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 Happy Valley #8 well. A copy of this application (landowner notice) along with a certified mailing receipt has been attached to this application. Additionally, the owner and operator (Unocal) and the landowner (Cook Inlet Region, Inc.) are within 3000' of lands owned by DNR. 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 to the statewide spacing regulation for the drilling of the proposed Happy Valley #8 well.
