By letter received December 3, 2012, Cook Inlet Energy, LLC (CIE) requests the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (AOGCC) issue an order for an exception to the spacing requirements of 20 AAC 25.055(a)(3) to drill and complete the Redoubt Unit No. 2A (Redoubt Unit 2A) development oil well within the same governmental quarter section as wells that are, or may be capable of, producing from the same pool. 2. On November 29, 2012, by certified mail, CIE sent notice of the application to all owners, landowners, and operators of all properties within 3,000 feet of the planned Redoubt Unit 2A well. CIE provided the AOGCC the notice, date of mailing, addresses to which the notice was sent, and proof of certified mailing. 3. Pursuant to 20 AAC 25.540, the AOGCC tentatively scheduled a public hearing for January 17, 2013. On December 14, 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 December 15, 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 January 9, 2013. 6. Because CIE provided sufficient information upon which to make an informed decision, the request can be resolved without a hearing. Order 668 • January 23, 2013 Page 2 of 3 FINDINGS: 1. CIE is the operator of the Redoubt Unit and the planned Redoubt Unit 2A development oil well, which are located in the Kenai Peninsula Borough, Alaska. 2. Redoubt Unit 2A will be an offshore, deviated development oil well with a surface location 1,918' from the south line and 320' from the east line of Section 14, TO7N, R14W, Seward Meridian (S.M.). The estimated top of the productive interval is 2,306' from the north line and 755' from the west line of Section 19, TO7N, R13W, S.M. The projected bottom hole location is 2,475' from the south line and 1,505' from the west line of Section 19, TO7N, R13W, S.M. 3. Redoubt Unit 2A will be located within State of Alaska leases ADL- 381203 and ADL- 374002. 4. Other potentially affected owners, landowners, and operators —those within a 3,000 -foot radius of the well —are the State of Alaska, Department of Natural Resources. CIE sent notice of its application to these entities by certified mail on November 29, 2012. 5. Development oil wells Redoubt Unit No. 1 and Redoubt Unit No. 7 currently produce within the same governmental quarter section as the planned well Redoubt Unit 2A. 6. Redoubt Unit 2A will access oil reserves at a structurally advantageous location that is fault- separated from wells Redoubt Unit No. 1 and Redoubt Unit No. 7. 7. The AOGCC received no comments, objections, or protests in response to the public notice regarding Redoubt Unit 2A or to the notification sent by CIE to all known owners, landowners, and operators within 3,000 feet of Redoubt Unit 2A. CONCLUSIONS: 1. An exception to the well spacing provisions of 20 AAC 25.055(a)(3) is necessary to allow drilling and completion of the Redoubt Unit 2A development well in oil reservoirs in order to maximize recovery of reserves. 2. Redoubt Unit 2A will recover reserves that are not accessible to other existing wells. 3. A spacing exception to allow drilling and completion of Redoubt Unit 2A 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)(3) will not promote waste or jeopardize correlative rights. Order 668 • S January 23, 2013 Page 3 of 3 NOW THEREFORE IT IS ORDERED: CIE's December 3, 2012 application for an order granting exception to the well spacing provisions of 20 AAC 25.055(a)(3) to allow drilling and completion of the Redoubt Unit 2A development oil well are hereby approved. CIE may proceed with regular production as long as it complies with the terms of the Redoubt Unit Agreement, applicable Alaska laws, and all other legal requirements.

AOGCC November 26, 2012 Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission 333 West 7 Ave., Suite 100 Anchorage, Alaska 99501 Re: Spacing Exception for the Redoubt Shoals Sidetrack of RU -2 (RU -2A) Dear Commissioners, Cook Inlet Energy, LLC (CIE) hereby applies for an exception under 20 AAC 25.055(d) to the well spacing requirements in 20 AAC 25.055(a)(3). Specifically, CIE requests approval to sidetrack the RU -2 Well (API 50- 733 - 20501- 00 -00) for oil within the same governmental quarter section as RU -1 and RU -7. The completions within the sidetrack, to be designated RU -2A, will . be further than 1,000 feet from any other wells capable of producing from the Hemlock PA (Redoubt Shoal Undefined Oil Pool - CO 513) and will be fault- separated from other completions within the governmental quarter section. CIE proposes to reenter the RU -2 Well and sidetrack the well to produce from the previously producing zone. The sidetrack completions will be slightly updip from the completions within the original RU -2. The RU -2 Well has a surface location within Section 14, T. 7 N., R. 14 W., S.M. 1,918 feet from the south section line and 320 feet from the east section line, with a bottom hole location within Section 19, T. 7 N., R. 13 W., S.M. 2,627 feet from the north section line and 1,307 feet from the west section line. The sidetrack has a proposed bottom hole location within Section 19, T. 7 N., R. 13 W., S.M. 2,750 feet from the north section line and 2,500 feet from the west section line. Please refer to enclosed well diagram (Exhibit B) for more detailed information. The attached Exhibit A lists the Landowners, Owners, and Operators within 3,000 feet of the RU -2 Well and their contact information. The attached Exhibit B is a plat prepared by CIE at a scale which complies with 20 AAC 25.055(d)(2). 691/\41-e-147.-/ s� x,.12 -45 The attached Exhibit C is the Notice provided to Landowners, Owners and Operators by certified mail.
