The immediate need and purpose of this particular well is to increase deliverability of already injected gas into the Tyonek 64-5 reservoir. We will however, use this well to inject natural gas during the summer months and produce it back out of the reservoir in the winter months for utility sales when gas deliverability is stressed the most.

Tabler, Manager Land/Government Affairs August 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) KGSF #~well (Vertical) A-028399, A-028406 Dear Mr. Crandall: Union Oil Company of California (Unocal) hereby submits this Application for Spacing Exception to drill the referenced "SRU KGSF #1 well in the Swanson River Field. Our anticipated spud date is late August, 2004. In accordance with 20 AAC 25.005 (a), a Permit to Drill and associated filing fees are filed herewith. The SRU KGSF¡J#7well is situated in governmental Section 28, Township 8N - Range 9W S.M. and may require a spacing exc~tion in accordance with 20 AAC 25.055 (a)(2). Should the results of the SRU KGSF #7«rell 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 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 better positioned and structurally higher on the formation than the original SRU KGSF #7 well and is a crestal withdrawal based on new well information, seismic, dip meter and subsurface data available to £~.' P/~// /YahJ~ /~ K{JsÞ # ;JA ~ s: ~a/ý)ße/ Itl ~ I(t (Ý17rY'/411 ) ) Unocal. Well information from the original SRU KGSF #7 well revealed poorer reservoir quality rock structurally down dip than anticipated. Our intent is to kick off the SRU KGSF #7 well to a location further up dip in the formation thus making this well a better injection well candidate. 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 KGSF #7well. 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 expedite approval of this exception application, if necessary, to the statewide spacing regulation for the drilling of the proposed SRU KGSF #7 well. This expedited review is requested as we have a drilling rig on location finishing up the drilling of well SRU KGSF #7 and any delay will incur significant drill rig standby charges. 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. ->~jL Enclosures cc: CIRI BLM LEASE A-028399 Sec.28 T8N-R9W S.M.
