April 14, 2015 Notice of Public Hearing, Affidavit of Publication, email distribution, and bulk mail list INDEX CONSERVATION ORDER NO. 717 STATE OF ALASKA ALASKA OIL AND GAS CONSERVATION COMMISSION 333 West 7th Avenue Anchorage Alaska 99501 Re: THE APPLICATION OF Cook Inlet Energy, LLC for an exception to the spacing requirements of 20 AAC 25.055(a)(4) to drill and complete development gas well North Fork Unit No. 14-26 closer than 3,000' to, and within the same governmental section as, wells that are, or may be capable of, producing from the same pool. IT APPEARING THAT: Docket Number: CO-15-003 Conservation Order No. 717 North Fork Unit No. 14-26 Development Gas Well North Fork Undefined Gas Pool North Fork Unit Kenai Peninsula Borough, Alaska June 3, 2015 1. Cook Inlet Energy, LLC (CIE), by letter received April 14, 2015, requested an exception to the spacing requirements of 20 AAC 25.055(a)(4) to drill and complete development gas well North Fork Unit No. 14-26 closer than 3,000 feet to, and within the same governmental section as, 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 May 28, 2015. On April 14, 2015, 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 of Public Hearing to all persons on the AOGCC's mailing distribution list. On April 16, 2015, the notice was published in the ALASKA 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 a 3,000-foot radius of the North Fork Unit No. 14-26 well. CIE provided the AOGCC with a copy of the notice, date of mailing, Certified Mail Domestic Return Receipts, and addresses to which the notice was sent. 4. No protest to the application or request for hearing was received. 5. Because CIE provided sufficient information upon which to make an informed decision, the request can be resolved without a hearing. 6. The tentatively scheduled public hearing was vacated on May 20, 2015. Conservation Order 717 June 3, 2015 Page 2 of 3 FINDINGS: 1. CIE owns and operates the North Fork Field and the North Fork Unit No. 14-26 development gas well, which are located in Kenai Peninsula Borough, Alaska. 2. North Fork Unit No. 14-26 will be an onshore, deviated well with a surface location 587' from the south line and 1,693' from the east line of Section 26, T4S, R14W, Seward Meridian (S.M.). The top of the productive interval is expected to lie about 1,015' from the south line and 930' from the west line of Section 26, T4S, R14W, S.M. The bottom - hole is also projected to be about 1,015' from the south line and 930' from the west line of Section 26, T4S, R14W, S.M. 3. North Fork Unit No. 14-26 will be located within State of Alaska lease ADL-391211. The State of Alaska is the landowner and CIE is the owner for lease ADL-391211. The nearest property line where ownership or landownership changes lies more than 3,100' to the northwest. 4. CIE proposes to drill and complete North Fork Unit No. 14-26 as a development gas well in reservoir sandstone beds assigned to the North Fork Undefined Gas Pool. North Fork Unit No. 14-26 will open this gas pool within the same governmental section as, and within 3,000' of, wells that are, or may be capable of, producing from the same pool. 5. North Fork Unit No. 14-26 will be drilled directionally from an existing drilling pad to a structurally advantageous location to access fluvial sandstone reservoirs containing reserves that cannot be efficiently produced from existing wells. At CIE's selected location, these reservoirs are expected to be slightly lower structurally and better developed than in existing wells. 6. On April 14, 2015, CIE sent the application for exception by certified mail to all affected owners, landowners, and operators within 3,000' of the anticipated productive reservoirs within North Fork Unit No. 14-26—i.e., the State of Alaska and CIE. CIE provided addresses and Certified Mail Domestic Return Receipts to the AOGCC as proof that the application was mailed to all affected owners, landowners, and operators. 7. The AOGCC received no comments, objections, or protests in response to the public notice regarding the proposed North Fork Unit No. 14-26 well or to the notifications sent by CIE and to all affected owners, landowners, and operators within 3,000' of North Fork Unit No. 14-26. CONCLUSIONS: 1. An exception to the well spacing provisions of 20 AAC 25.055(a)(4) is necessary to allow drilling and completion of the North Fork Unit No. 14-26 development gas well at a location that will maximize resource recovery. 2. An exception to the well spacing provisions of 20 AAC 25.055(a)(4) for CIE's North Fork Unit No. 14-26 well is consistent with sound engineering and geoscience principles and will not result in waste or jeopardize correlative rights. Conservation Order 717 June 3, 2015 Page 3 of 3 NOW THEREFORE IT IS ORDERED: CIE's application for an order granting an exception to the well spacing provisions of 20 AAC 25.055(a)(4) to allow drilling and completion of CIE's North Fork Unit No. 14-26 development gas well within the North Fork Undefined Gas Pool is hereby approved as long as CIE complies with the terms of all lease agreements, Alaska law, and all other legal requirements. DONE at Anchorage, Alaska and dated June 3, 2015. CathyA. Foerster Daniel T. Seamount, Jr. Chair, Commissioner Commissioner 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 >he 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.

Singh Cook Inlet Energy_ A Wholly Owned Subsidiary of Miller Energy Resources April 10, 2015 Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission 333 West 7th Ave., Suite 100 Anchorage, Alaska 99501 Re: Spacing Exception for the Proposed NFU #14-26 Well Dear Commissioners, RECEIVED APR 14 2015 AoG C 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)(4). Specifically, CIE requests approval to drill a gas development well, NFU #14-26, into a governmental section which contains other gas wells producing or capable of producing from the same pool. CIE proposes to drill the NFU #14-26 Well from an onshore location from the existing North Fork Pad, located within Section 26, T. 4 S., R. 14 W., S.M., 614 feet from the south line and 1,698 feet from the east line. The NFU #14-26 Well will have a bottomhole location within Section 26, T. 4 S., R. 14 W., S.M., 1,015 feet from the south line and 930 feet from the west line. The top of the Tyonek productive zone is anticipated to fall in the same location as the bottomhole, roughly 1,015 feet from the south line and 930 feet from the west line of Section 26. CIE is planning to test and potentially produce from zones within Section 26, T. 4 S., R. 14 W., S.M. The attached Exhibit A lists the Landowners, Owners, and Operators within 3,000 feet of the NFU #14-26 Well and their contact information. The attached Exhibit B is a plat showing the location of NFU #14-26 and all other completed wells on the property, at a scale which complies with 20 AAC 25.055(d)(2).

Specifically, CIE has submitted a Permit to Drill for the NFU #14-26 Well and is applying for an exception under 20 AAC 25.055(d) to the well spacing requirements in 20 AAC 25.055(a)(4). CIE plans to drill the NFU #14-26 Well for gas within the same governmental section of another well capable of producing from the same pool. CIE proposes to drill the NFU #14-26 Well from an onshore location from the existing North Fork Pad, located within Section 26, T. 4 S., R. 14 W., S.M., 614 feet from the south line and 1,698 feet from the east line. The NFU #14-26 Well will have a bottomhole location within Section 26, T. 4 S., R. 14 W., S.M., 1,015 feet from the south line and 930 feet from the west line. CIE is planning to test and potentially produce from zones within Section 26, T. 4 S., R. 14 W. The SE quarter of Section 26 contains another well, NFU #34-26. The SW quarter of Section 26 contains another well, the NFU #24-26. These existing wells are both 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 3,000 feet of the proposed NFU #14-26 Well. Please contact me should you require additional information.
