By letter received June 14, 2012, Armstrong Cook Inlet, LLC (Armstrong) requested an exception to the spacing provisions of 20 AAC 25.055 to allow drilling and completion of the planned North Fork Unit No. 23 -25 (NFU 23 -25) development gas well within the same governmental section and within 3,000 feet of a well that is, or may be capable of, producing from the same pool. 2. On August 6, 2012, by certified mail, Armstrong sent notice of the application to all owners, landowners, and operators of all properties within 3,000 feet of the planned NFU 23 -25 well. Armstrong provided the AOGCC the notice, date of mailing, and the addresses to which the notice was sent. 3. Pursuant to 20 AAC 25.540, the AOGCC tentatively scheduled a public hearing for September 26, 2012. On August 20, 2012, the AOGCC mailed printed copies of the notice of the opportunity for public hearing to all persons on the AOGCC's mailing distribution list, published notice of the opportunity for that hearing on the State of Alaska's Online Public Notice website and on the AOGCC's website, and electronically transmitted the notice to all persons on the AOGCC's email distribution list. On August 22, 2012, the notice was published in the ANCHORAGE DAILY NEWS. 4. No protest to the application or request for hearing was received. 5. The tentatively scheduled public hearing was vacated on September 13, 2012. 6. Because Armstrong provided sufficient information upon which to make an informed decision, the request can be resolved without a hearing. Order 661 • • September 27, 2012 Page 2 of 3 FINDINGS: 1. Armstrong is the operator of the North Fork Unit and the planned NFU 23 -25 development gas well, which are located in the Kenai Peninsula Borough, Alaska. 2. NFU 23 -25 will be an onshore, deviated development gas well with a surface location 648' from the south line and 1,481' from the east line of Section 26, T04S, R14W, Seward Meridian (S.M.). The estimated top of the productive interval is 1,911' from the south line and 1,892' from the west line of Section 25, T04S, R14W, S.M. The projected bottom -hole location is 1,911' from the south line and 1,892' from the west line of Section 25, T04S, R14W, S.M. 3. NFU 23 -25 will be located within State of Alaska leases ADL -2095 and ADL - 391211. 4. Other potentially affected owners, landowners, and operators —those within a 3,000 -foot radius of the well —are the State of Alaska; Armstrong; Dale Resources Alaska, LLC; GMT Exploration Company LLC; Jonah Gas Company, LLC; and Nerd Gas Company, LLC. Armstrong sent notice of its application to these entities by certified mail on August 6, 2012. 5. Development gas well NFU 14 -25 currently produces within 3,000 feet of, and within the same governmental section as, the planned well NFU 23 -25. 6. The reservoir sands accessed by NFU 23 -25 are discontinuous fluvial sands. 7. The AOGCC received no comments, objections or protests in response to the public notice regarding NFU 23 -25 or to the notification sent by Armstrong to all known owners, landowners and operators within 3,000 feet of NFU 23 -25. CONCLUSIONS: 1. An exception to the well spacing provisions of 20 AAC 25.055(a)(4) is necessary to allow drilling and completion of the NFU 23 -25 development well in gas reservoirs in order to maximize recovery of reserves. 2. NFU 23 -25 will recover reserves that are not accessible to other existing wells. 3. A spacing exception to allow drilling and completion of NFU 23 -25 is consistent with sound engineering and geoscience principles and will not result in waste or jeopardize correlative rights of adjoining or nearby owners. 4. An exception to the requirements of 20 AAC 25.055(a)(4) will not promote waste or jeopardize correlative rights. Order 661 • • ` September 27, 2012 Page 3 of 3 NOW THEREFORE IT IS ORDERED: Armstrong's June 14, 2012 application for an order granting an exception to the well spacing provisions of 20 AAC 25.055(a)(4) to allow drilling and completion of the NFU 23 -25 development gas well is hereby approved. Armstrong may proceed with regular production as long as it complies with the terms of the North Fork Unit Agreement, applicable Alaska laws, and all other legal requirements.

Seamount, Jr. Chair, ommissioner Commissioner RECONSIDERATION AND APPEAL NOTICE As provided in AS 31.05.080(a), within 20 days after written notice of the entry of this order or decision, or such further time as the AOGCC grants for good cause shown, a person affected by it may file with the AOGCC an application for reconsideration of the matter determined by it. 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. , ,,OIL, � Q" Ir " ! t Illiii... 3 . op'�'+ litti y Y ;k .+ J ‘ ,„,p- 4 ?'ION CO ' I Easy Peel® Labels fa ® MOM Bend along line to ill Q AVERY® 5960TM Use Avery® Template 5160® Feed Paper • expose Pop-up EdgeTM 1 Mary Jones David McCaleb XTO Energy, Inc.

As it turns out, email is not an adequate means of notifying potentially affected parties. Without the certified -mail return - receipt cards, AOGCC cannot approve the North Fork spacing exceptions because we cannot be sure that all potentially affected parties received proper notice and had the opportunity to comment or request a public hearing. So, the entire process must be restarted. As soon as I receive the return - receipt cards from you, the AOGCC will tentatively schedule another public hearing, publish notice of that hearing, and re- start the 30 -day public comment period for these exceptions.

A RECEIVED ARMSTRONG JUN 12012 Cook Inlet, LLC' AOGCC June 13, 2012 TO: Mr. Steve Davies Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission 333 West 7 Avenue, Suite 100 Anchorage, AK 99501 Re: Application for Spacing Exception North Fork Unit 23 -25 In conjunction with Armstrong Cook Inlet, LLC's forthcoming Application for a Permit to Drill the North Fork Unit 23 -25 well, Armstrong Cook Inlet, LLC ( "Armstrong ") hereby also wishes to apply for a spacing exception for this well. While the bottomhole location in the potentially gas producing interval (Tyonek Formation) in this well will not be within 1,500' of a property line where ownership or landownership changes, the BHL is approximately 1867' from the North Fork Unit 14 -25 well owned by the Owners (listed below) and operated by Armstrong. Our reservoir simulations indicate that the North Fork gas accumulation cannot be efficiently developed with wells spaced more than 3,000' apart. The bottom hole locations in the field are chosen in an attempt to optimize production from what are, in Armstrong's opinion, known discontinuous fluvial sands. Therefore, Armstrong requests a spacing exception to allow production from the bottomhole location indicated in ACI's forthcoming Application for Permit to Drill and the attached plats. The surface and bottom hole locations of the North Fork Unit 23 -25 well and their relationship to existing wells is shown in one plat and a second plat shows the relationship to the existing wells as well as the relationship to potential new well locations.
