By a letter received May 4, 2012, NordAq Energy, Inc. (NordAq) requested an exception to the spacing provisions of 20 AAC 25.055 (a)(2) to allow drilling of the Tiger Eye Central No. 1 exploratory well within 1500 feet of a property line where ownership or landownership changes. 2. Pursuant to 20 AAC 25.540, the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (AOGCC) scheduled a public hearing for June 21, 2012. On May 9, 2012 the AOGCC published notice of the opportunity for that hearing on the State of Alaska's Online Public Notice website and on the AOGCC' s website, electronically transmitted the notice to all persons on the AOGCC's email distribution list, and mailed printed copies of the notice to all persons on the AOGCC's mailing distribution list. On May 20, 2012, the notice was published in the ALASKA JOURNAL OF COMMERCE. 3. By certified mail, NordAq sent notice of the application to all owners, landowners, and operators of all properties within 1,500 feet of the Tiger Eye Central No. 1 well. NordAq provided the AOGCC 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. Because NordAq provided sufficient information upon which to make an informed decision, the request can be resolved without a hearing. 6. The tentatively scheduled public hearing was vacated on June 18, 2012. FINDINGS: 1. NordAq is the operator of the Tiger Eye Central No. 1 exploratory well, which is located on the west side of the Cook Inlet, Kenai Peninsula Borough, Alaska. 2. The Tiger Eye Central No. 1 will be an onshore, deviated exploratory well with a surface location 690' from the west line and 550' from the north line of Section 19, TO8N, Order 659 • • August 30, 2012 Page 2 of 3 R14W, Seward Meridian (S.M.). The projected bottom -hole location is 839' from the west line and 1433' from the north line of Section 24, T08N, R14W, S.M. 3. The surface location of Tiger Eye Central No. 1 will be situated on acreage owned by Cook Inlet Region, Inc. and Salamatof Native Association. The bottom -hole location of the well will lie within State of Alaska lease ADL- 391104. 4. Potentially affected owners, landowners, and operators —those within a 3,000 -foot radius of the well —are the State of Alaska; NordAq; Cook Inlet Region, Inc. and Salamatof Native Association. NordAq sent notice of its application to these entities by certified mail on May 3, 2012. 5. There are currently no oil, gas or reported water wells within two miles of the proposed Tiger Eye Central No. 1 exploratory well. 6. The AOGCC received no comments, objections or protests in response to the public notice regarding the Tiger Eye Central No. 1 or to the notification sent by NordAq to all known owners, landowners and operators within 3,000 feet of the Tiger Eye Central No. 1 well. 7. Tiger Eye Central No. 1 is a proposed exploratory well that will test potential reservoir sands in the most structurally favorable position. The surface location for the well is located on dry, elevated, privately held land, while the target reservoirs and bottom -hole location lie beneath wet marsh land on adjacent State of Alaska lease ADL - 391104. CONCLUSIONS: 1. An exception to the well spacing provisions of 20 AAC 25.055(a)(2) is necessary to allow drilling and testing of the Tiger Eye Central No. 1 exploratory well. 2. A spacing exception to allow drilling and testing of the Tiger Eye Central No. 1 exploratory well is consistent with sound engineering and geoscience principles and will not result in waste or jeopardize correlative rights of adjoining or nearby owners. 3. An exception to the requirements of 20 AAC 25.055(a)(2) will not promote waste or jeopardize correlative rights. NOW THEREFORE IT IS ORDERED: NordAq's May 4, 2012 application for an order granting an exception to the well spacing provisions of 20 AAC 25.055(a)(2) to allow drilling and testing of the Tiger Eye Central No. 1 exploratory well is hereby approved as long as NordAq complies with the terms of all lease agreements, applicable Alaska laws, and all other legal 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 AOGCC 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 AOGCC 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 AOGCC mails, OR 30 days if the AOGCC 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 AOGCC 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 AOGCC, and it may be appealed to superior court. That appeal MUST be filed within 33 days after the date on which the AOGCC mails, OR 30 days if the AOGCC 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 AOGCC 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. • Mary Jones David McCaleb George Vaught, Jr. XTO Energy, Inc.
