Oil Development Well Branch
Kenai Peninsula Borough, Alaska
November 19, 2018
1. By a letter received October 1, 2018, BlueCrest Alaska Operating LLC (BlueCrest) requested
an exception to the statewide spacing requirements of 20 AAC 25.055 to drill, complete, test,
and produce the Hansen H-04-1,04 development oil well branch within the same governmental
quarter section as, and within 1,000 feet of, a well that is, 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 November 8,2018. On October 4, 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 October 7, 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-04-1,04 development
well branch—i.e., the State of Alaska and the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management—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.
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 -04-L04 will be a horizontal, development oil well branch drilled directionally to
the northwest from an onshore surface location at 2,173 feet from the south line (FSL) and
1,552 feet from the east line (FEL) of Section 2, Township 4 South, Range 15 West (RI 5 W),
Seward Meridian (S.M.). The top of the Hansen Undefined producing interval location will
lie offshore about 1,859 feet FSL and 548 feet FEL of Section 32, Township 3 South (T3S),

R15W, S.M. The bottom -hole location will lie offshore about 2,687 feet FSL and 1,852 feet
FEL of Section 32, T3S, R15W, S.M.
3. For well branch Hansen H-04-1,04, the kick-off point, top -of -productive interval, and bottom -
hole locations will lie within State of Alaska lease ADL 384403.
4. Hansen H -04-L04 will target reservoirs within the Hansen Undefined Oil Pool.
5. Hansen H -04-L04 will be located within the same governmental quarter section as the Hansen
I development oil well, and within the same governmental quarter section as, and within
1,000 feet of, development oil well Hansen H-04 and development oil well branches Hansen
H -04-L03, Hansen H -04-L05, Hansen H -04-L06, and Hansen H-04-1,07 that are, or may be
capable of, producing from the same oil pool.
6. The well path and bottom -hole location for Hansen H -04-L04 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.
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 -04-L04 development oil
well branch 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-04-1,04 well branch will not result in waste or jeopardize correlative rights of adjoining or
nearby owners.
NOW THEREFORE IT IS ORDERED:
The AOGCC grants B1ueCrest's October 1, 2018, application for an exception to the well spacing
provisions of 20 AAC 25.055(a)(3) to allow drilling, completion, testing, and regular production
of the Hansen H-04-1,04 development oil well branch within the Hansen Undefined Oil Pool.
BlueCrest may proceed as long as it complies with all applicable laws, and all other legal
requirements

RE: Application for Spacing Exception for H04-1.04 Onshore Horizontal Producer
Dear Commissioners,
BlueCrest Alaska Operating LLC hereby applies for a spacing exception for the horizontal production well H044O4. Reservoir
modeling indicates that the optimum spacing for the laterals is 800'. Because of that spacing, the laterals conflict with each
other. Also, due to the 303° azimuth we are drilling for hole stability, there are multiple instances where two or more of the
laterals will be within the same Y. section. 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 (ADNR 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.
For 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 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 Andrew Buchanan at 907-754-
9563.
Sincerely,
Larry Burrges/rssj /

1. Requirements of 20 AAC 25.055 (a)
Cosmopolitan Project
H04-104 Application for Spacing Exception
The commission will, in its discretion, establish drilling units to govern well spacing and prescribe a spacing pattern by
pool rules adopted in accordance with 20 AAC 25.520. In the absence of an order by the commission establishing drilling
units or prescribing a spacing pattern for a pool, the following statewide spacing requirements apply:
(1) for a well drilling for oil, a wellbore may be open to test or regular production within 500 feet of a
property line only if the owner is the same and the landowner is the same on both sides of the line;
Not Applicable — Well is not within 500' of the federal lease line
(2) for a well drilling for gas, a wellbore may be open to test or regular production within 1,500 feet of a
property line only if the owner is the same and the landowner is the same on both sides of the line;
Not Applicable — Wellbore is drilling for oil.
(3) if oil has been discovered, the drilling unit for the pool is a governmental quarter section; not more than
one well may be drilled to and completed in that pool on any governmental quarter section; a well may not
be drilled or completed closer than 1,000 feet to any well drilling to or capable of producing from the some
Pool;
Please see Attachment 1: Spacing Exception Platt
(4) if gas has been discovered, the drilling unit for the pool is a governmental section; not more than one well
may be drilled to and completed in that pool on any governmental section; a well may not be drilled or
completed closer than 3,000 feet to any well drilling to or capable of producing from the some pool.
Not Applicable — Target is the Cosmopolitan Undefined Oil Pool
2. Requirements of 20 AAC 25.055 (b)
A well may not begin regular production of oil from a property that is smaller than the governmental quarter section upon
which the well is located or begin regular production of gas from a property that is smaller than the governmental section
upon which the well is located, unless the interests of the persons owning the drilling rights in and the right to share in the
production from the quortersection orsection, respectively, have been pooled under AS 31.05.100.
BlueCrest Energy is the only operator and 100% working interest owner within the Cosmopolitan Unit.
3. Requirements of 20 AAC 25.055 (c)
A pooling agreement under AS 31.05.100 must be filed with the commission before regular production from the affected
property begins.
The leases currently being exploited by BlueCrest Energy all fall within the currently unitized Cosmopolitan
Unit. Pool rules are not currently identified.
