June 25, 2007 CONSERVATION ORDER NO. 590 • • STATE OF ALASKA ALASKA OIL AND GA5 CONSERVATION COMMISSION 333 West Seventh Avenue, Suite 100 Anchorage, Alaska 99501 THE APPLICATION OF Aurora Gas, LLC for an exception to the spacing requirements of 20 AAC 25.055(a)(4) to allow for the drilling, completion, testing and regular production of the Lone Creek No. 4 gas development well within 3,000 feet of another well capable of producing from the same pool. Conservation Order No. 590 Lone Creek No. 4 Development Gas Well September 13, 2007 NOTICE CLOSING DOCKET BY THE COMMISSION: The Commission has the closed the Docket in the above captioned matter. DATED AND EFFECTIVE at Anchorage, Alaska and this 13th day of September, 2007. BY DIRECTION OF THE COMMISSION Colombie 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. 590 an exception to the spacing requirements of 20 AAC ) 25.055(a)(4) to allow for the drilling, completion, ) Lone Creek No.4 testing and regular production of the Lone Creek ) Development Gas Well No.4 gas development well within 3,000 feet of ) another well capable of producing from the same ) September 13,2007 pool. ) IT APPEARING THAT: 1. Aurora Gas, LLC ("Aurora"), by a letter dated June 20, 2007 and received by the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission ("Commission") on that same day, has requested an order for an exception to the spacing requirements of 20 AAC 25.055(a)(4) to allow for the drilling, completion, testing and regular production of the Lone Creek No.4 gas development well within 3,000 feet of another well capable of producing from the same pool. Pursuant to 20 AAC 25.540, on June 25, 2007, the Commission published in the Anchorage Daily News notice of opportunity for public hearing on July 26,2007. 2. No protests to or comments on the application or requests for a hearing were received. 3. 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(a)(4) by certified mail to all owners, landowners, and operators of all properties within 3,000 feet of the proposed Lone Creek No.4 well. 2. Lone Creek No.4 is proposed as a gas development well with a surface location of 1,193 feet from the south line and 140 feet from the west line of Section 8, T12N, Rll W, Seward Meridian. The bottom hole location is 1,060 feet from the south line and 341 feet from the east line of Section 7, T12N, RllW, Seward Meridian. 3. Lone Creek No.4 would lie within lease C-061395, and it would penetrate reservoirs in the Beluga and Tyonek Formations. 4. Aurora is the owner and operator of lease C-061395. Cook Inlet Region, Inc. ("CIRI") is the only affected landowner. . . 5. Lone Creek No.3 is an active gas producer about 2,900 feet to the southwest of Lone Creek No.4 and is open to the Beluga Formation. 6. Lone Creek No.4 may be completed in the Beluga Formation and Tyonek Formation reservoirs, which are typically lenticular and laterally discontinuous. However, some of the perforated zones in Lone Creek No.4 might be continuous with those in Lone Creek No.3. CONCLUSIONS: 1. An exception to 20 AAC 25.055(a)(4) is necessary to allow for the drilling, completion, testing and regular production of the Lone Creek No.4 gas development well. 2. Granting a 20 AAC 25.055(a)(4) exception to allow for the drilling, completion, testing and regular production of the Lone Creek No.4 well will not jeopardize the correlative rights of adjoining or nearby owners, operators or landowners. 3. To prevent waste of resources, Aurora must know the impact, if any, of Lone Creek No.4 production on reservoirs penetrated by Lone Creek No.3. NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED: Aurora's application for an exception to the well spacing provlSlon of 20 AAC 25.055(a)(4) for the purpose of drilling, completion, testing and regular production of the Lone Creek 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: 1. Within 60 days after the Lone Creek 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 Lone Creek No. 4 and Lone Creek No.3; and b. the areal extent and volume of each gas accumulation penetrated by Lone Creek No.4. 2. If hydraulic communication between these wells is established with reasonable certainty, Aurora shall immediately undertake appropriate measures, such as applying for pooling or unitization orders, to ensure resources are not wasted. Within 90 days after 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 Conservation Order No. 590 Page 2 of3 Effective September 13,2007 . . Aurora determines are necessary or that are required by the Commission to ensure that waste of oil and gas is prevented. DONE at Anchorage, Alaska, and dated T~ '" ~ '0;. \, ~ Daniel T. Seamount, Jr., Commissioner Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission j7JtA¡J~ ~~œoerster, Commissioner Alaska Oil 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 lO-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., lOth day after the application for rehearing was filed).
