September 13, 2004 Unocal Application for Spacing Exception Happy Valley #9 Notice of Hearing, Affidavit of publication, e-mail Distribution list, bulk mailing Conservation Order No. 540 Re: , ) ) 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 of20 AAC 25.055(a)(4) ) to provide for the drilling and producing of ) the Happy Valley 9 gas development well. ) Conservation Order No. 540 Happy Valley No. 9 Drilling and Producing November 1, 2004 IT APPEARING THAT: 1. 2. 3. UNOCAL by letter dated September 8, 2004 requested an order allowing a spacing exception to drill and operate the Happy Valley No.9 well in accordance with 20 AAC 25.055; The Commission published notice of opportunity for public hearing in the Anchorage Daily News on September 13,2004, pursuant to 20 AAC 25.540; and No protests to the application or requests for hearing were received. FINDINGS: 1. 2. 3. 4. The surface location of this well is 1104 feet from the south line ("FSL") and 1300 feet from the east line ("FEL") of Section 22, T2S, RI3W, Seward Meridian ("S.M."). The projected bottom hole location for this well is 724 feet FSL, 365 feet FEL, Section 21, T2S, RI3W, S.M. An exception to the well spacing provisions of20 AAC 25.055 (a)(4) is necessary for the drilling and testing of this well. The anticipated productive interval in the Beluga and Tyonek Formations of the Happy Valley No.9 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.8 gas development well. 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 9 well. The location of the Happy Valley No.9 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.8 well. 5. Happy Valley Wells No. ' s 8 and 9 are located within the Deep Creek Unit. CONCLUSIONS: 1. An exception to 20 AAC 25.055(a)(4) is necessary to allow drilling and production of the Happy Valley No.9 gas development well. 2. Granting a spacing exception to allow drilling and production of the Happy Valley No.9 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)(4) for the purpose of drilling and producing the Happy Valley No.9 gas development well is approved. /""" DON~at Anchorage, Alaska and dated Nove beý 0 .~~ °lL ~N~ ( . ~ '-:\ I~~ K.No an,Clìai on ,.- '-':"""',<""" ..".

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 10-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., 10th day after the application for rehearing was filed).
