Pretty Creek No.1 & No.2 Gas Wells Gentlemen: On December 20,2004 Pelican Hill Oil and Gas Inc. applied for a spacing exception for two N. Pretty Creek wells. The proposed locations for these two straight holes at that time were as follows: N. Pretty Creek No.1 Sec.22-14N-9W 1 705' FWL & 1790' FS N. Pretty Creek NO.2 Sec.22-14N-9W 350' FNL & 2,530' FWL As proposed, both wells would have been in the same governmental section and a spacing exception would have been required. The request for a spacing exception addressed that issue. Since filing that request for an exception, Jim Rose and I visited the sites again and examined the proposed surface areas in more detail. Also along on that trip were Mark Fink, Department ofFish and Game, Bruce Webb, Division of Oil and Gas and Ben Greene, Alaska Coastal Management Program. Since both of these proposed sites are within the Susitna Flats State Game Refuge, we were most interested in obtaining the views of Mr. Fink. Foremost, we found that the proposed location for the N. Pretty Creek No.2 not to be within the vegetation designation as transferred fTom the vegetation map to the aerial photo. Instead of being in "deciduous mixed forest, 40-80 years old', it is actually in "sphagnum bog". Therefore, the original reason for selecting the above location for the Pretty Creek No.2 well no longer exists. With the concurrence ofMr. Fink, this proposed well was been moved to the north such that it is now located in section 15. These two sites have now been surveyed and platted and the survey plats are attached herewith. The surveyed locations for these two straight holes are: N. Pretty Creek No.1 Sec. 22-14N-9W 1,677' FWL & 1,634' FS N. Pretty Creek NO.2 Sec. 15-14N-9W 50' FSL & 2,327' FEL ') ) Mr. Tom Maunder Mr. Steve Davies December 20, 2004 Page Two Medrick Northrop of the US Corps of Engineers has been notified of this change of location for the N. Pretty Creek No.2 well. Pelican Hill anticipates that full approval by the COE will be forthcoming. Pelican Hill hereby withdraws that the above referenced request for a spacing exception.

Commission Anchorage Re: Waiver of Well Spacing Requirement N. Pretty Creek No.1 & No.2 Gas Wells Gentlemen: Pelican Hill Oil and Gas Inc. is preparing to drill two gas wells in the onshore area between the Pretty Creek and Lewis River gas fields. The proposed locations for these two straight holes are as follows: N. Pretty Creek No.1 22-14N-9W 1 705' FWL & 1790' FS N. Pretty Creek No.2 22-14N-9W 350' FNL & 2,530' FWL Section 20 AAC 25.055(2) of the regulations requires: "for a well drilling for gas, a well bore 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;" Section 20 AAC 25.055(4) of the regulations requires: " if gas has been discovered, the drilling unit for the pool is a governmental section; not more than one well may be drilled to and completed in that pool on any governmental section; a well may not be drilled or completed closer that 3,000 feet to any well drilling to or capable of producing from the same pool;" Pelican Hill is proposing the drilling of two wells, both in Sec. 22-TI4N-R9W. The second well, N. Pretty Creek No.2, is located only 350 feet inside Section 22, the same section as for the N. Pretty Creek No.1 well. The N. Pretty Creek No.2 was proposed for drilling within the same section due to the terrain change that is present farther to the north. As proposed, the well would be located in "deciduous mixed forest, 40 to 80 years old. Beyond this point would have placed the well in "sphagnum bog". It should be noted that the 1,500 foot setback requirement given in Section 20 AAC 25.055(2) for gas wells is being honored. Also, if productive, these two wells would be more than 3,000 feet apart as required by Section 20 AAC 25.055(4). ) ) Mr. Tom Maunder Mr. Steve Davies December 20, 2004 Page Two It is Pelican Hill's position that drilling N. Pretty Creek No.2 within the superior environmental location as proposed is of greater importance than strict adherence to the spacing requirements of Section 20 AAC 25.055(4). Weare asking that the requirement of no more than one gas well within a governmental section be waived for the reasons given above. ~~ Arlen Ehm Vice President! Alaska Ene.
