Pursuant to 20 AAC 25.540, the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (AOGCC) tentatively scheduled a public hearing for October 29, 2014. On September 16, 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 September 18, 2014, the notice was published in the ANCHORAGE DISPATCH 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. 8A 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 October 9, 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. CO 704 October 28, 2014 Page 2 of 3 FINDINGS: 1. CIE is the operator of the proposed WMRU No. 8A development oil well, located on the west side of the Cook Inlet, Kenai Peninsula Borough, Alaska. 2. The WMRU No. 8A will be a deviated development well with an onshore surface location 2,222 feet from the south line and 1,847 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 800 feet from the north line and 260 feet from the west line of Section 10, Township 8 North, Range 14 West, S.M. 3. The surface location of WMRU No. 8A 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 September 8, 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, 6 and 7A currently produce from the West McArthur River Field, West McArthur River Oil Pool within the same governmental quarter section as the planned well WMRU No. 8A. 6. WMRU No. 8A will access oil reserves at a structurally advantageous location that is fault -separated from WMRU Nos. 5, 6, and 7A. 7. The AOGCC received no comments, objections or protests in response to the public notice regarding the proposed WMRU No. 8A well or to the notification sent by CIE to all known owners, landowners, and operators within 1,000 feet of the WMRU No. 8A 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. 8A development oil well. 2. WMRU No. 8A 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. 8A 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. CO 704 October 28, 2014 Page 3 of 3 NOW THEREFORE IT IS ORDERED: CIE's September 8, 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. 8A 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.

Singh Cook Inlet Energy_ September 8, 2014 Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission 333 West 7t' Ave., Suite 100 Anchorage, Alaska 99501 Re: Spacing Exception for the Proposed WMRU #8 ST Well Dear Commissioners, RECEIVED SEP 0 8 2014 AOGCC 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 well, WMRU #8 ST, into a governmental quarter section which contains other oil wells producing or capable of producing from the same pool. The WMRU #8 ST well will be fault - separated from all other wells within the governmental quarter section. CIE proposes to drill the WMRU #8 ST 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' 46' 58.44" N and 151' 44' 49.99" W, NAD 27 datum. The WMRU #8 ST Well will have a bottomhole location within Section 10, T. 8 N., R. 14 W., 800 feet from the north line and 260 feet from the west line. The top of the Hemlock productive zone is anticipated to fall roughly 1,125 feet from the north line and 600 feet from the west line of Section 10.

Specifically, CIE has submitted a Permit to Drill for the WMRU #8 ST 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 #8 ST sidetrack well for oil within the same governmental quarter section of another well capable of producing from the same pool.
