ConocoPhillips Alaska, Inc. ("CP AI"), by letter dated August 30, 2004 and received by the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission ("Commission") that same day, requests exception to the well spacing provisions of Rule 3 of Conservation Order No. 432B ("CO 432B") to allow drilling and operation of the onshore Kuparuk River Unit ("KRU") IF-I8A production well and IF-I8ALI multilateral oil production well to locations within the same governmental quarter sections as, and less than 1,000 feet from, other wells open to the Kuparuk River Oil Pool; 2. Notice of opportunity for public hearing was published in the Anchorage Daily News on September 10,2004 pursuant to 20 AAC 25.540; 3. Offset landowners, owners and operators within 1,000 feet of the anticipated productive interval have all been notified; and 4. No protests to the application or requests for hearing have been received. FINDINGS: 1. KRU IF-I8A will be redrilled as a replacement, horizontal wellbore for existing well KRU IF-I8 and KRU IF-I8ALI will be drilled as a horizontal, multilateral well bore branching from KRU IF-I8A. 2. The surface location of well KRU IF-I8 is 792 feet from the north line and 455 feet from the east line of Section 19, TIIN, RIOE, UM. The proposed bottom hole location of KRU IF-I8A is 2,793 feet from the south line and 2,223 feet from the west line of Section 17, TIIN, RIOE, UM. The proposed bottom hole Conservation Order No. 536 Page 2 of3 October 12, 2004 location ofKRU IF-I8ALI is 2,839 feet from the south line and 2,222 feet from the west line of Section 17, TIIN, RIDE, UM. 3. KRU IF-I8A and IF-I8ALI will lie entirely within State Lease ADL 25652. ADL 25652 is committed to the Kuparuk River Unit and the Kuparuk Participating Area. The ownership interests in this lease has been consistently cross-assigned, with the owners being CP AI (55.29%), BP Exploration (Alaska) Inc. (39.28%), Union Oil Company of California (4.95%), ExxonMobil Alaska Production Inc. (0.36%), and Chevron USA Inc. (0.11 %). The State of Alaska is the landowner for the lease. 4. CP AI is the designated operator of lease ADL 25652. 5. Well spacing in Section 17 of TIIN, RIOE, UM is regulated by Rule 3 of Conservation Order 432B ("CO 432B"), which supersedes statewide spacing requirements of 20 AAC 25.055. Rule 3 of CO 432B states in part: "N ot more than one well may be drilled on any governmental quarter section or governmental lot corresponding to it ... nor may the pool be opened in a well bore... closer than 1,000 feet to the pool opened to the well bore in another well." 6. According to the definitions provided in 20 AAC 25.990(73)(B), the term "well:" "includes a well with multiple well branches drilled to different bottom hole locations. " 7. As proposed, KRU IF-I8A will require exception to Rule 3 of CO 432B. This well bore as proposed will be the second well bore open to the pool within the NW ~ of Section 17, TIIN, RIDE, UM, and it will lie approximately 800' from the interval open to the pool in existing injection well KRU IF-I3. 8. As proposed, KRU IF-I8ALI will require exception to Rule 3 of CO 432B. This multilateral well bore as proposed will be the third well bore open to the pool within the NW ~ of Section 17, TIIN, RIOE, UM, and it will lie about 975' from the interval open to the pool in existing injection well KRU IF-13. 9. The locations ofKRU IF-I8A and IF-I8ALI were selected as the most favorable structural position to recover oil reserves in the Kuparuk River Oil Pool that are not recoverable with the current well pattern. 10. Offset landowners, owners and operators within 1,000 feet of the anticipated productive interval of KRU IF-I8A and IF-I8ALI have all been notified. Conservation Order No. 536 Page 3 of3 October 12, 2004 ) CONCLUSIONS: ) 1. An exception to the well spacing provisions of Rule 3, CO 432B is necessary to allow drilling and operation of the KRU IF-I8A well bore. 2. An exception to the well spacing provisions of Rule 3, CO 432B is necessary to allow drilling and operation of the KRU IF-I8ALI multilateral well bore. 3. Granting the requested spacing exception for the KRU IF-I8A and IF-I8ALI well bores 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: CP AI's application for exception to well spacing provisions to allow the drilling and operation of the KRU IF-I8A and IF-I8ALI well bores is approved. ~,O,NE at Anchorage, Alaska and dated October 12,2004.

The proposed 1 F-18A and 1 F-18A L 1 are designed as an infill Kuparuk A and C sand multilateral producer to replace the existing 1 F-18 A and C sand producer which has experience a liner failure. The 1 F-18A lateral will be drilled first and access C sand pay and the 1 F-18A L 1 will be drilled second and acces§ A sand pay. This infill well will recover A and C Sand waterflood and enhanced oil recovery (EaR) r~$erves that are no longer recoverable with the current well bore and potentially produce unswept reserves in the Eastern half of the pattern. These reserves are not recoverable with the current well pattern configuration. The requested exception refers to the well spacing requirements specified in Rule 3 of Conservation Order 432B, which states: IINot more than one well may be drilled on any governmental quarter section...II, because the majority of 1F-18A and 1F-18A L1 will lie within the NW % Section 17 T11N, R10E (1st well in this qtr section is 1F-13), and a portion lies within the NE % of Section 17 T11N, R10E (1 st wells in this qtr section are 1A-28 & 1 F-06) those portions of the laterals will be the second or third wells drilled in those quarter sections. Property line considerations do not apply, as the well bores will be in the heart of the Kuparuk River Unit and therefore will be more than 500 feet from a property line where ownership or landownership changes. The TO point of each lateral will be about 34,500 feet from the KRU Unit Boundary. The exception also refers to the spacing requirement specified in Rule 3 of CO 432B, which states: "... nor may the pool be opened in a well bore that is closer than 500 feet to any property line nor closer than 1,000 feet to the pool opened to the well bore in another well...", because a portion of 1F-18A and 1F-18A L 1 will lie within 1,000 feet of 1F-13 (-791 & 975 feet at the closest point respectively) which is completed in the same pool. Please find attached for the review of the Commission the information required by 20 ACC 25.005 (d).
