By a letter received January 8, 2019, 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 -13-L04 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 February 21, 2019. On January 14, 2019, 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 January 15, 2019, the AOGCC published the notice in the ANCHORAGE DAILY NEWS. 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-13-1,04 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. BlueCrest'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-13-1,04 will be a horizontal, development oil well branch drilled directionally to the northwest from an onshore surface location at 2,344 feet from the south line (FSL) and 1,524 feet from the east line (FEL) of Section 2, Township 4 South, Range 15 West (ROW), Seward Meridian (S.M.). The top of the Hansen Undefined producing interval location will lie offshore about 3,941 feet FSL and 2,379 feet FEL of Section 28, Township 3 South (T3S), CO 772 February 22, 2019 Page 2 of 3 RI 5W, S.M. The bottom -hole location will lie offshore about 4,744 feet FSL and 3,643 feet FEL of Section 28, T3S, R15W, S.M. The surface location for Hansen H -13-L04 lies on private property. A portion of the well passes through State of Alaska leases ADL 18790 and ADL 391903. The top -of -productive interval and bottom -hole locations will lie within State of Alaska lease ADL 384403. 4. Hansen H -13-L04 will target reservoirs within the Hansen Undefined Oil Pool. 5. Hansen H -13-L04 will be located within the same governmental quarter section as, and within 1,000 feet of, development oil well Hansen H-13 and development oil well branches Hansen H -13-L02, Hansen H -13-L03, Hansen H -13-L05, Hansen H -13-L06, and Hansen H-13-1,07 that are, or may be capable of, producing from the same oil pool. 6. The well path and bottom -hole location for Hansen H-13-1,04 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 -13-L04 development oil well branch in order to maximize resource recovery. 2. Granting an exception to the well spacing provisions of 20 AAC 25.055(a)(3) for the Hansen H -13-L04 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 January 8, 2019, 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 -13-L04 development oil well branch within the Hansen Undefined Oil Pool.

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.
