ENTERED AND EFFECTIVE at Anchorage, Alaska and this 19th day of August, 2010. BY DIRECTION OF THE COMMISSION ~1 Jo y J. Colombie S e ial Assistant to the Commission STATE OF ALASKA ALASKA OIL AND GAS CONSERVATION COMMISSION 333 West Seventh Avenue, Suite 100 Anchorage Alaska 99501 Re: The Application of Armstrong Cook ) Inlet, LLC for an order granting an ) exception to the spacing requirements ) of 20 AAC 25.055(a)(4) to allow ) drilling, completion, testing ) and regular production of the North ) Fork Unit #14-25 gas exploration well. ) IT APPEARING THAT: Conservation Order No. 633 North Fork Unit 14-25 Exploration Gas Well August 19, 2010 1. By application dated and received by the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (Commission) on July 1, 2010, Armstrong Cook Inlet, LLC (Armstrong) requested an exception to the spacing requirements of 20 AAC 25.055(a)(4) to allow drilling, completion, testing and regular production of the North Fork Unit 14-25 gas exploration well in the North Fork Unit, Kenai Peninsula Borough, Alaska. 2. Pursuant to 20 AAC 25.540, the Commission published notice of opportunity for a public hearing in the Alaska Journal of Commerce on July 11, 2010 and the Peninsula Clarion on July 7, 2010. 3. No protests to the application or requests for hearing were received. 4. Armstrong provided sufficient information upon which to make an informed decision without a public hearing. The public hearing was vacated on July 29, 2010. FINDINGS: 1. Armstrong is the operator of the North Fork Unit 14-25 well. 2. The NFU 14-25 well will be a deviated gas exploration and production" well with a surface location 649 feet from the south line (FSL) and 1660 feet from the east line (FEL) of Section 26, T4S, R14W, Seward Meridian (S.M.). 3. The NFU 14-25 well will target gas reserves in the Tyonek Formation which can have a limited drainage due to the discontinuous nature of the Tyonek reservoir sands. 4. The NFU 14-25 well is approximately 2660 feet from a well capable of producing from the same interval (NFU 41-35). 5. Armstrong has provided the Commission with copies of the notice of the application for exception to the well spacing requirements sent by certified mail to all owners, landowners, and operators of all properties within 3000 feet of the proposed NFU 14-25 well. CONCLUSION: 1. An exception to 20 AAC 25.055(a)(4) is necessary to allow drilling, completion, testing and regular production of the NFU 14-25 well in order to evaluate and produce from gas reservoirs in the Tyonek Formation. 2. The properties affected by this exception are within the boundaries of the North Fork Unit. 3. A spacing exception to allow drilling, completion, testing and regular production of the NFU 14-25 well will not result in waste or jeopardize correlative rights of the adjoining or nearby owners. NOW, THERFORE, IT IS ORDERED: Armstrong's application for 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 NFU 14-25 well is approved. Because the properties affected by this spacing exception are within the North Fork Unit, Armstrong may proceed with regular production as long as it is in compliance with the terms of the Unit Agreement and applicable Alaska law.

GOrrnr-ission 6~no~~r~ga In conjunction with Armstrong Cook Inlet, LLC's application for a permit to drill the North Fork Unit Well #14-25, we hereby also apply for a spacing exception for this well. While the bottomhole location in the potentially gas-producing interval (Tyonek Formation) in this well is not within 1,000 horizontal feet of a lease not owned by Armstrong, the BHL is approximately 2,660 horizontal feet from an Armstrong-owned and operated well producible from the same interval. Our reservoir simulations indicate that the North Fork gas accumulation cannot be efficiently developed with wells spaced more than 3,000 feet apart. Therefore, Armstrong requests a spacing exception to allow production from the bottomhole location indicated in our Application for Permit to Drill. If you have any questions or require additional information, please contact me at (303) 623-1821 or Bill Penrose at (907) 264-6114.
