Re: THE APPLICATION OF Cook Inlet

requirements of 20 AAC 25.055 (a)(3) to drill
and complete a development oil well within the

Conservation Order No. 689
West McArthur River Unit #213
Development Oil Well
West McArthur River Field
West McArthur River Oil Pool
Kenai Peninsula Borough, Alaska
April 23, 2014
IT APPEARING THAT:
1. By a letter received March 12, 2014, Cook Inlet Energy, LLC (CIE) requested an
exception to the spacing provisions of 20 AAC 25.055(a)(3) to drill, complete, and
produce the West McArthur River Unit (WMRU) No. 2B development oil well in the
same governmental quarter section as, and within 1,000 feet of, wells that are, or may be
capable of, producing from the same pool.
2. Pursuant to 20 AAC 25.540, the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission
(AOGCC) tentatively scheduled a public hearing for April 29, 2014. On March 18, 2014,
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 March
20, 2014, the notice was published in the ANCHORAGE DAILY NEWS.
3. Pursuant to 20 AAC 25.055(d)(1), CIE sent by certified mail notice of the application to
all owners, landowners, and operators of all properties within 1,000 feet of the proposed
WMRU No. 2B well. CIE provided the AOGCC the notice, date of mailing, and
addresses to which the notice was sent.
4. No protest to the application or request for hearing was received.
5. On April 16, 2014, the tentatively scheduled public hearing was vacated.
6. Because CIE provided sufficient information upon which to make an informed decision,
the request can be resolved without a hearing.

FINDINGS:
1. CIE is the operator of the proposed WMRU No. 213 development oil well, located on the
west side of the Cook Inlet, Kenai Peninsula Borough, Alaska.
2. The WMRU No. 2B will be a deviated development well with an onshore surface
location 2,804 feet from the south line and 1,418 feet from the west line of Section 16,
Township 8 North, Range 14 West, Seward Meridian (S.M.). The projected offshore
bottom -hole location is 1,322 feet from the north line and 2,291 feet from the east line of
Section 10, Township 8 North, Range 14 West, S.M.
3. The surface location of WMRU No. 2B will be situated on acreage owned by Cook Inlet
Region, Inc. (CIRI). The bottom -hole location of the well will lie within State of Alaska
lease ADL 359111.
4. CIE sent the application on March 10, 2014 by certified mail to all affected owners,
landowners, and operators—i.e., State of Alaska, CIRI, and CIE. CIE provided evidence
to the AOGCC that the application was received by all addressees.
5. Development oil wells WMRU Nos. 5 and 6 currently produce from the West McArthur
River Field, West McArthur River Oil Pool within the same governmental quarter
sections as the planned well WMRU No. 2B.
6. WMRU No. 213 will be within 1,000 feet of WMRU Nos. 5 and 6 that are producing from
the same pool.
7. WMRU No. 2B will access oil reserves structurally high to all other wells capable of
producing within the same pool, in the same governmental quarter section.
8. The AOGCC received no comments, objections or protests in response to the public
notice regarding the proposed WMRU No. 213 well or to the notification sent by CIE to
all known owners, landowners, and operators within 1,000 feet of the WMRU No. 2B
well.
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 WMRU No. 2B development oil well.
2. WMRU No. 2B will recover reserves that are not accessible to existing development
wells.
3. An exception to the well spacing provisions of 20 AAC 25.055(a)(3) for the WMRU No.
2B development oil 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:
CIE's March 12, 2014 application for an order granting an exception to the well spacing
provisions of 20 AAC 25.055(a)(3) to allow drilling and completion of the WMRU No. 2B
development oil well within the West McArthur River Field, West McArthur River Oil Pool is
hereby approved as long as CIE complies with the terms of all lease agreements, applicable
Alaska laws, and all other legal requirements.

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.
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.

Re: Spacing Exception for the Proposed WMRU 2B Well Sidetrack
Dear Commissioners,
RECEIVED
MAR 12 2014
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 drill a
sidetrack to the existing WMRU 2A well, called WMRU 213, into a governmental quarter section
which contains other oil wells producing or capable of producing from the same pool. The
WMRU 2B well will be structurally high to all other wells within the governmental quarter
section.
CIE proposes to drill the WMRU 2B sidetrack well from an onshore location from an existing
pad at the West McArthur River Production Facility, located within Section 16, T. 8 N., R. 14
W., S.M. at 60° 47' 4.424" N and 151° 44' 58.797" W, NAD 27 datum. The WMRU 2B well
will utilize a portion of the WMRU 2A wellbore. The WMRU 2B will have a bottomhole
location within Section 10, T. 8 N., R. 14 W., 1,322 feet from the north line and 2,291 feet from
the east line. The top of the Hemlock productive zone is anticipated to fall roughly 2,255 feet
from the north line and 2,538 feet from the west line of Section 10. CIE is planning to test and
potentially produce from zones within Section 10, T. 8 N., R. 14 W., S.M., This location is
structurally high to all other wells capable of producing within the same pool in the same
governmental quarter -section.
The attached Exhibit A lists the Landowners, Owners, and Operators within 1,000 feet of the
WMRU 2B Well and their contact information.
The attached Exhibit B is a plat showing the location of WMRU 2B and all other completed
wells on the property, at a scale which complies with 20 AAC 25.055(d)(2).
The attached F�C�ibit C is the Notice provided to Landowners, Owners and Operators by certified
mail. / I
bit D is an affidavit from Mr. Tim Jones, Registered Landman # 84167 and
CIE, verifying the plat and facts contained herein.

Re: Notice Under 20 AAC 25.055(d) of Cook Inlet Energy, LLC's Application for a Spacing
Exception for the Drilling of the WMRU 2B Sidetrack Well
Dear Landowner, Owner and/or Operator,
Cook Inlet Energy, LLC (CIE) is applying for a Spacing Exception under 20 AAC 25.055(d) and
this Notice is being sent by certified mail to meet the notification requirements under 20 AAC
25.055(d).
Specifically, CIE has submitted a Permit to Drill for the WMRU 2B sidetrack well and is
applying for an exception under 20 AAC 25.055(d) to the well spacing requirements in 20 AAC
25.055(a)(3). CIE plans to drill the WMRU 2B sidetrack well for oil within 1,000 feet of another
well capable of producing from the same pool.
CIE proposes to drill the WMRU 2B well from an onshore location from an existing pad at the
West McArthur River Production Facility, located within Section 16, T. 8 N., R. 14 W., S.M.
The WMRU 2B well will utilize a portion of the existing WMRU 2A wellbore. The WMRU 2B
sidetrack well will have a bottomhole location within Section 10, T. 8 N., R. 14 W., 1,322 feet
from the north line and 2,291 feet from the east line. CIE is planning to test and potentially
produce from zones within Section 10, T. 8 N., R. 14 W. The NW quarter of Section 10 contains
another well, WMRU 6, capable of or producing from the same pool. The NE quarter of Section
10 contains another well, WMRU 5, capable of or producing from the same pool.
CIE, through a search of the public record, has identified you as a Landowner, Owner or
Operator (as defined in AOGCC regulations) within 1,000 feet of the proposed WMRU 2B
sidetrack well. Please contact me should you require additional information.
