Docket Number: CO -18-003
Conservation Order No. 740
Cosmopolitan Unit
Hansen Undefined Oil Pool
Hansen H-12
Oil Development Well
Kenai Peninsula Borough, Alaska
April 27, 2018
By a letter received March 7, 2018, BlueCrest Alaska Operating LLC (BlueCrest) requested
an exception to the statewide spacing requirements of 20 AAC 25.055 to drill and complete
the Hansen H-12 development oil well within the same governmental quarter section as wells
that are, or may be capable of, producing from the same pool. Hansen H-12 will also lie within
1,000 feet of wells and well branches 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 26, 2018. On March 12, 2018, 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 13, 2018, the AOGCC published
the notice in the ANCHORAGE DAILY NEWS.
3. BlueCrest sent by certified mail notice of the application to all owners, landowners, and
operators of all properties within 1,000 feet of the proposed Hansen H-12 development well,
i. e., the State of Alaska and provided the notice, addresses to which the notices were delivered,
and Certified Mail receipts.
4. No comments or request for hearing were received regarding B1ueCrest's application.
5. The tentatively scheduled public hearing was vacated following the 30 -day public comment
period.
6. B1ueCrest's application provided sufficient information upon which to make an informed
decision.
FINDINGS:
1. BlueCrest is the operator and sole working interest owner of the Cosmopolitan Unit, located
within the Cook Inlet, Kenai Peninsula Borough, Alaska.
2. Hansen H-12 will be a horizontal, development oil well drilled directionally to the northwest
from an onshore surface location at 2,329 feet from the south line (FSL) and 1,524 feet from
the east line (FEL) of Section 2, Township 4 South, Range 15 West, Seward Meridian (S.M.).
The top of the Hansen Undefined producing interval location will lie offshore about 4,335
feet FSL and 2,174 feet FEL of Section 33, Township 3 South (T3S), Range 15 West (R15W),
Conservation Order 740
April 27, 2018
Page 2 of 3
S.M. The bottom -hole location will lie offshore about 2,523 feet FSL and 2,355 feet FEL of
Section 29, T3 S, RI 5W, S.M.
3. The surface location for the Hansen H-12 lies on private property. The top -of -productive
interval and bottom -hole locations will lie within State of Alaska leases ADL 18790 and ADL
384403, respectively.
4. Hansen H-12 will target reservoirs within the Hansen Undefined Oil Pool.
5. Hansen H-12 will be located within the same governmental sections as, and within 1,000 feet
of, development oil wells Hansen H-14 and Hansen H-16 and well branch Hansen H -14L1
that are, or may be capable of, producing from the same oil pool.
6. The well path and bottom -hole location for Hansen H-12 were chosen—based on reservoir
mapping and modeling results—to ensure greater ultimate recovery by maximizing the
amount of wellbore open to the reservoirs and extracting oil that cannot be efficiently
produced by existing wells and well branches.
CONCLUSIONS:
1. An exception to the well spacing provisions of 20 AAC 25.055(a)(3) is necessary to allow the
drilling, completion, testing, and regular production of the Hansen H-12 development oil well
at a location that will maximize resource recovery.
2. Granting an exception to the well spacing provisions of 20 AAC 25.055(a)(3) for the Hansen
H-12 well will not result in waste or jeopardize correlative rights of adjoining or nearby
owners.

Subject: RE: Spacing Exception Applications for Hansen H-12 and Laterals
Good afternoon Steve,
I am sorry I did not include the justification again with the package. The reasoning for the exemption is the very similar
to previous well. Reservoir modeling indicates that the optimum spacing for the laterals is 800'. Because of that
spacing, the laterals are in conflict with each other as well as neighboring wells. Also, due to the 3030 azimuth we are
drilling for hole stability, there are multiple instances where two or more of the laterals will be within the same
section. Fot these reasons, in lieu of pool rules that would allow for this unique and field specific spacing, BlueCrest
Energy is requesting a spacing exception.
Please let me know if you have any further questions or concerns.
Regards,
Andrew Buchanan

Subject: FW: Spacing Exception Applications for Hansen H-12 and Laterals
Andrew,
I'm working on draft text for the spacing exception decisions for Hansen H-12 and laterals. The only item lacking in
BlueCrest's applications for these exceptions is an explanation as to why BlueCrest selected the currently planned
bottom -hole locations for the well and its branches rather than drill them to locations that conform to statewide spacing
regulations. Is your statement for H-16 and H-161-1-ST1, below, also accurate for H-12 and its branches?
Thanks,
Steve Davies

RE: Application for Spacing Exception for H12 (Revision 1) Onshore Horizontal Producer AOGCC
Dear Commissioners,
BlueCrest Alaska Operating LLC hereby applies for a spacing exception for the horizontal production well H12 (Revision 1).
H12 will lie within the same governmental quarter sections as, Hansen SALT, H16 and H14 development oil wells that are
open to the Cosmopolitan Undefined Oil Pool and are, or expecting to be, actively producing oil. Accordingly, an exception to
statewide spacing requirements is requested. BlueCrest Energy is the only effected working interest owner and operator
within the leasehold contacting the Cosmopolitan Undefined Oil Pool. The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) and
Alaska Department of Natural Resources Division of Oil and Gas (ANDR DOG) have been notified of BlueCrest Energy's intent
to submit this application for exception. The necessary documentation confirming notice is included in the attached.
Please find attached for the review of the Commission the information required by 20 ACC 25.055 for this well bore.
If you have any questions or require further information, please do not hesitate to contact Tom McKay at 907-754-9566.
