DATED AND EFFECTIVE at Anchorage, Alaska and this 21st day of August, 2007. BY DIRECTION OF THE COMMISSION i i U Jody o ombie Spec' Assistant to the Commission . . STATE OF ALASKA ALASKA OIL AND GAS CONSERVATION COMMISSION 333 West Seventh Avenue, Suite 100 Anchorage Alaska 99501 THE APPLICATION OF Aurora Gas, LLC for ) Conservation Order No. 589 an exception to the spacing requirements of 20 AAC ) 25.055(a)(4) to provide for the drilling, completion, ) Moquawkie No.4 testing and regular production of the Moquawkie ) Development Gas Well No.4 gas development well within the same ) governmental section and within 3,000 feet of ) August 21,2007 another well capable of producing ÍÌom the same ) pool. IT APPEARING THAT: 1. Aurora Gas, LLC ("Aurora"), by a letter dated June 7, 2007 and received by the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission ("Commission") on June 12,2007 and amended on June 19, 2007, has requested an order allowing an exception to the spacing requirements of 20 AAC 25.055(a)(4) to allow drilling, completion, testing and regular production of the Moquawkie No.4 gas development well within the same governmental section and within 3,000 feet of another well capable of producing from the same pool. 2. Pursuant to 20 AAC 25.540, on June 21, 2007, the Commission published in the Anchorage Daily News notice of opportunity for public hearing on July 26,2007. 3. No protests to or comments on the application or requests for a hearing were received. 4. The Commission vacated the public hearing on July 23, 2007. FINDINGS: 1. Aurora sent notice of the application for an exception to the well spacing requirements of 20 AAC 25.055 by certified mail to all owners, landowners, and operators of all properties within 3,000 feet of the anticipated productive interval of the proposed Moquawkie No.4 well. 2. Moquawkie No.4 is proposed as a vertical gas development well with surface and bottom hole locations 1,121 feet from the north line and 1,259 feet from the east line of Section 1, TUN, RI2W, Seward Meridian. 3. Moquawkie No.4 would lie within Cook Inlet Region, Inc. ("CIRI") lease C-061390, and it would penetrate target reservoirs in the Beluga and Tyonek Formations. . . 4. Aurora is the owner and operator of lease C-061390. CIRI is the only affected landowner. 5. Simpco Moquawkie No. 1 and Moquawkie No. 1 are shut-in gas development wells about 1,500 feet to the north and 1,200 feet to the southwest, respectively. These wells are open to the Tyonek Formation. 6. Moquawkie No.3 is an active gas producer about 1,150 feet to the southwest and is open to the Beluga and Tyonek Formations. 7. Moquawkie No.4 will be completed in the Beluga and Tyonek Formation reservoirs which are typically laterally discontinuous. However, there is a possibility that some ofthe perforated zones in Moquawkie No.4 would be continuous with those of offset wells. CONCLUSIONS: 1. An exception to 20 AAC 25.055(a)(4) is necessary to allow drilling, completion, testing and regular production ofthe Moquawkie No.4 gas delineation well. 2. Granting a spacing exception to allow drilling, completion, testing and regular production of the Moquawkie No.4 well would not jeopardize the correlative rights of adjoining or nearby owners, operators and landowners. 3. To prevent waste of oil and gas, Aurora must identify the impact, if any, of Moquawkie No.4 production on reservoirs penetrated by the nearby wells: Simpco Moquawkie No.1; Moquawkie No.1; and Moquawkie No.3. NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED: Aurora's application for an exception to the well spacing prOViSIOn of 20 AAC 25.055(a)(4) for the purpose of drilling, completion, testing and regular production of the Moquawkie No.4 well is approved on the condition that Aurora complies with the terms of all applicable Alaska and federal laws and regulations, including the requirements identified below. Within 60 days after the Moquawkie No. 4 well has been in regular production for 24 months, Aurora shall provide to the Commission a technical report presenting geological, geophysical, reservoir and production information that identifies: a. whether hydraulic communication exists between Moquawkie No. 4 and the nearby wells: Simpco Moquawkie No.1; Moquawkie No.1; and Moquawkie No. 3; and b. the areal extent and volume of each gas accumulation penetrated by Moquawkie No.4. Conservation Order No. 589 Page 2 of3 Effective August 21, 2007 . . If hydraulic communication between any of these wells is established with reasonable certainty, Aurora shall immediately undertake appropriate measures, such as pooling or unitization, to ensure resources are not wasted. Within 90 days of when Aurora learns or should have learned of such hydraulic communication, Aurora shall report to the Commission on the success of those measures and undertake any additional measures that it determines are necessary or that are required by the Commission to ensure that waste of oil and gas is prevented. rman, Chairman il and Gas Conservation Commission (' ~~\\~I*~ l ,,' ",.S; ..,~ ," .~ //,.~~~:~..r.

Cat y P. oerster, Com issioner Alaska il and Gas Conservation Commission AS 31.05.080 provides that within 20 days after receipt of written notice of the entry of an order, a person affected by it may file with the Commission an application for rehearing. 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 ÍÌ"om 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 ÍÌ"om the date on which the request is deemed denied (i.e., 10th day after the application for rehearing was filed).
