On November 22, 2010, Cook Inlet Energy, LLC (CIE) requested the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (Commission) grant an exception to the spacing provisions of 20 AAC 25.055(a)(2) to allow drilling and testing of the Stingray No. 2 (Stingray 2) exploratory well within 1,500 feet of a property line where ownership and landownership changes. 2. Pursuant to 20 AAC 25.540, on December 1, 2010 the Commission published in the ANCHORAGE DAILY NEWS notice of the opportunity for a public hearing on January 6, 2011. This notice was also published on the State of Alaska's Online Public Notice website and on the Commission's website. 3. By certified mail, CIE sent notice of the application to all owners, landowners, and operators of all properties within 3,000 feet of the anticipated Stingray 2 well. CIE provided the Commission the notice, date of mailing, addresses to which the notice was sent, and proof of mailing. 4. No protest to the application or request for hearing was received. 5. The public hearing was vacated on December 28, 2010. FINDINGS: 1. CIE will be the operator of the proposed Stingray 2 exploratory well located within the Kenai Peninsula Borough, Alaska. 2. The surface and bottom hole locations for this proposed vertical exploratory well are 527' from the south line (FSL) and 1,214' from the east line (FEL) of Section 31, TO9N, R14W, Seward Meridian, Kenai Peninsula Borough. 3. The planned path for Stingray 2 is based on seismic and nearby well information. 4. The prospective exploratory interval and the planned total depth of Stingray 2 lie within State of Alaska lease ADL- 390735. 5. CIE owns the drilling rights for lease ADL- 390735. The State of Alaska is the landowner for this lease. 6. The proposed location for Stingray 2 was selected within 1,500 feet of a property line to evaluate target reservoirs at the optimum location with respect to geologic structure and potential trapping faults. 7. The Commission received no comments, objections or protests in response to the public notice regarding the Stingray 2 well or to the notification sent by CIE to all known owners, landowners and operators within 3,000 feet of the proposed Stingray 2 well. CONCLUSIONS: 1. Because CIE provided sufficient information upon which to make an informed decision, the request can be resolved without a hearing. 2. An exception to 20 AAC 25.055(a)(2) is necessary to allow drilling and testing of the Stingray 2 exploratory well within 1,500 feet of a property line where ownership and landownership changes. 3. A spacing exception to allow drilling and testing of the Stingray 2 well is consistent with sound engineering and geoscience principles and will not result in waste or jeopardize correlative rights of adjoining or nearby owners. NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED: Pursuant to the Commission's authority under AS 31.05.030 and 20 AAC 25.055, the Commission approves CIE's application for an order granting exception to the well spacing provisions of 20 AAC 25.055(a)(2) to allow drilling and testing of the Stingray 2 well. CIE may proceed with exploratory operations as long as CIE complies with applicable Commission regulations, Alaska laws, and all o : - , al requirements.

If the notice was mailed, then the period of time shall be 23 days. An application for reconsideration must set out the respect in which the order or decision is believed to be erroneous. The Commission shall grant or refuse the application for reconsideration in whole or in part within 10 days after it is filed. Failure to act on it within 10 -days is a denial of reconsideration. If the Commission denies reconsideration, upon denial, this order or decision and the denial of reconsideration are FINAL and may be appealed to superior court. The appeal MUST be filed within 33 days after the date on which the Commission mails, OR 30 days if the Commission otherwise distributes, the order or decision denying reconsideration, UNLESS the denial is by inaction, in which case the appeal MUST be filed within 40 days after the date on which the application for reconsideration was filed. If the Commission grants an application for reconsideration, this order or decision does not become final. Rather, the order or decision on reconsideration will be the FINAL order or decision of the Commission, and it may be appealed to superior court. That appeal MUST be filed within 33 days after the date on which the Commission mails, OR 30 days if the Commission otherwise distributes, the order or decision on reconsideration. As provided in AS 31.05.080(b), "[t]he questions reviewed on appeal are limited to the questions presented to the Commission by the application for reconsideration." In computing a period of time above, the date of the event or default after which the designated period begins to run is not included in the period; the last day of the period is included, unless it falls on a weekend or state holiday, in which event the period runs until 5:00 p.m. on the next day that does not fall on a weekend or state holiday. 2 • • Colombie, Jody J (DOA) From: Colombie, Jody J (DOA) Sent: Friday, February 25, 2011 9:45 AM To: Aubert, Winton G (DOA); Ballantine, Tab A (LAW); Brooks, Phoebe; Davies, Stephen F (DOA); Fisher, Samantha J (DOA); Foerster, Catherine P (DOA); Johnson, Elaine M (DOA); Laasch, Linda K (DOA); Matt Herrera; Maunder, Thomas E (DOA); McIver, Bren (DOA); McMains, Stephen E (DOA); Norman, John K (DOA); Okland, Howard D (DOA); Paladijczuk, Tracie L (DOA); Pasqua!, Maria (DOA); Regg, James B (DOA); Roby, David S (DOA); Saltmarsh, Arthur C (DOA); Scheve, Charles M (DOA); Schwartz, Guy L (DOA); Seamount, Dan T (DOA); Shartzer, Christine R (DOA); 'Aaron Gluzman'; Ben Greene; Bettis, Patricia K (DNR); caundenNood @marathonoil.com; 'Dale Hoffman'; David ; Bluemink'; 'Gary Lenig; Bluemink Ga Orr'; 'Jason Bergerson'; 'Joe Longo'; 'Lara Coates'; Marc Kuck; 'Mary Aschoff; 'Matt Gill'; Maurizio Grandi; Ostrovsky, Larry Z (DNR); Richard Garrard; 'Ryan Daniel'; 'Sandra Lemke'; Talib Syed; 'Tiffany Stebbins'; 'Wayne Wooster'; 'William Van Dyke'; Woolf, Wendy C (DNR); '(foms2 @mtaonline.net)'; '( michael .j.nelson @conocophillips.com)'; '(Von.L .Hutchins @conocophillips.com)'; 'AKDCWeIIIntegrityCoordinator'; 'Alan Dennis'; 'alaska @petrocalc.com'; 'Anna Raff; 'Barbara F Fullmer'; 'bbritch'; 'Becky Bohrer'; 'Bill Penrose'; 'Bill Walker'; 'Bowen Roberts'; 'Brady, Jerry L'; 'Brandon Gagnon'; 'Brandow, Cande (ASRC Energy Services)'; 'Brian Gillespie'; 'Brian Havelock'; 'Bruce Webb'; 'caunderwood'; 'Chris Gay'; 'Cliff Posey'; 'Crandall, Krissell'; 'D Lawrence'; 'dapa'; 'Daryl J.

We are bound by Regulation 20 AAC 25.537(a)(1) and cannot release any information about a well before a permit to drill is approved. After the permit to drill has been approved, according to that same regulation, the Commission can only release the surface and proposed bottom -hole locations for the well. These locations are published in the Commission's Weekly Drilling Permit Report, which can be found on the Internet at http: / /doa.alaska.gov /ogc /drilling /dindex.html. Also, under Regulation 20 AAC 25.537, the Commission can't say anything about a well beyond the depth, location, status, and any regular production or injection data until the confidentiality period for the well expires, which is 25 months after the well has been completed, suspended, or plugged and abandoned.

The trapping normal fault strikes in a Northeast Southwest direction. At the top of Beluga as mapped, the fault trace is less than 600' Northwest of the proposed location. A legal location greater that 1500' off the South line would fall on the opposite side of the interpreted trapping fault. The proposed location was planned so that a maximum amount of the Beluga can be evaluated prior to going upthrown on the fault. Let me know if you need anything more.
