By letter dated August 9, 2021, Hilcorp Alaska, LLC (Hilcorp) requested the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (AOGCC) to amend Conservation Order No. 791, which grants a spacing exception for the Seaview No. 9 (Seaview 9) delineation well, to allow for completion, testing, and production of the well in shallower formations within the Seaview Undefined Gas Pool. In Seaview 9, these shallower formations may be located within 1,500 feet of a property line where the owners and landowners are not the same on both sides of the line, and where more than one well will be drilled to and completed in the same pool in the same governmental section, and where a well will be drilled or completed closer than 3,000 feet to any well drilling to or capable of producing from the same pool. 2. The AOGCC tentatively scheduled a public hearing for September 20, 2021. On August 16, 2021, the AOGCC published notice of the opportunity for that hearing on the State of Alaska’s Online Public Notice website and 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 August 18, 2021, the AOGCC published the notice in the Anchorage Daily News. 3. Hilcorp sent by certified mail notices of the application to owners, landowners, and operators of properties within 3,000 feet of Seaview 9. Hilcorp provided the AOGCC the notice, date of mailing, addresses to which each notice was sent, and copies of the certified mail receipts. 4. The AOGCC received one comment from a member of the public. 5. Because no protests or requests for hearing were received regarding Hilcorp’s application, the tentatively scheduled public hearing was vacated. 6. Hilcorp’s application provides sufficient information to make an informed decision. CO 791A September 27, 2021 Page 2 of 3 FINDINGS: 1. Seaview 9 well is an onshore, deviated delineation well within the southern Kenai Peninsula that was drilled and completed during July and August of 2021. The surface location is 2,425 feet from the north line and 370 feet from the east line of Section 9, Township 5 South, Range 15 West, Seward Meridian (S.M.). The bottom-hole location is 474 feet from the south line and 2,194 feet from the west line of Section 9, Township 5 South, Range 15 West, S.M. 2. A well drilled to delineate a pool is classified as an exploratory well. Under AS 31.05.035(c), much of the information about Seaview 9 is confidential until September 10, 2023. 3. Seaview 9 is located within State of Alaska oil and gas lease ADL 392667 and private land. Hilcorp is the 100% working interest owner and operator. The State of Alaska and private persons are the landowners. 4. Seaview 9 targets unproven, discontinuous, lenticular, potentially gas-bearing reservoirs in the Beluga and Tyonek Formations within an undefined gas pool that cannot be reached by drilling at a location that conforms to the statewide spacing requirements of 20 AAC 25.055(a). 5. Conservation Order No. 791 (CO 791), issued June 24, 2021, grants a spacing exception allowing drilling, testing, completion, and regular production of Seaview 9 below Hilcorp’s depth of the Top of the Productive Horizon (TPH), which was its best estimate for that depth before drilling Seaview 9. However, based on drilling and well-logging results, Hilcorp has identified additional, potentially gas-bearing reservoirs in the well at shallower depths than the initial, estimated TPH. Hilcorp's application to amend CO 791 seeks approval to complete, test, and regularly produce gas from those shallower reservoirs. 6. No objections or protests were submitted in response to the public notices regarding Seaview 9 or to notifications mailed by Hilcorp to owners, landowners and operators within 3,000 feet of the Seaview 9 well. AOGCC received and considered one written comment from a member of the public. 7. If operated as proposed, Seaview 9 will not cause waste or result in an increased risk of fluid movement into freshwater. CONCLUSIONS: 1. A revision to CO 791 is necessary to allow completion, testing, and production of the Seaview Undefined Gas Pool within the Seaview 9 well in order to maximize ultimate recovery by developing reservoirs in the well that lie beneath the surface casing shoe. 2. Granting this amendment to CO 791 will not result in waste or jeopardize correlative rights of adjoining or nearby owners, is based on sound engineering and geoscience principles, and will not result in an increased risk of fluid movement into freshwater. CO 791A September 27, 2021 Page 3 of 3 NOW THEREFORE IT IS ORDERED: The AOGCC grants Hilcorp’s August 9, 2021 application to amend the spacing exception approved in CO 791 to allow completion, testing, and regular production from the Seaview Undefined Gas Pool beneath the Seaview 9 surface casing shoe. All other requirements of CO 791 remain in effect. Hilcorp may proceed and must comply with all applicable laws and all other legal requirements. DONE at Anchorage, Alaska and dated September 27, 2021. Jeremy M. Price Daniel T. Seamount, Jr. Jessie L. Chmielowski Chair, Commissioner 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 the 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.

I am writing in response to your comments regarding Hilcorp’s application to amend the spacing exception order for the Seaview 9 well. The AOGCC would like to thank you for your thoughtful comments and questions. Our agency tries very hard to make our processes and information available to the public as clearly and easily as possible. Your comments have pointed out some short-falls, and have started an internal discussion that will definitely help us to improve. To begin, Seaview 9 is classified as an exploratory well and by law nearly all information about the well is confidential until September 10, 2023. So, AOGCC is restricted in what we can say about that well, but I will try to be a clear as possible while respecting confidentiality. What is a spacing exception? In the State of Alaska, spacing of oil and gas wells is controlled to protect the oil and gas rights of adjacent landowners and to prevent drilling of an excessive number of wells. Seaview 9 is a gas well. Statewide spacing requirements specify that gas wells are limited to: one per governmental section (one square mile), no closer than 1,500 feet from a property line where ownership of the below-surface gas rights changes, and no closer than 3,000 feet to another well capable of producing from the same gas pool. Exceptions to these requirements are sometimes needed to drill wells that cannot adhere to these rules because of special geologic conditions. In this specific case, Seaview 9 was drilled from a pad that already exists. In the Cook Inlet Basin, reservoir sands were commonly deposited in migrating, ancient river channels, so they are generally limited in size and are often not connected with one another. Seaview 9 targeted sands at a location that does not conform to statewide requirements. AOGCC carefully evaluates every application to drill at locations such as this, granting exceptions only for wells that are necessary to discover or develop oil and gas accumulations in a safe manner that protects freshwater and the oil and gas rights of adjacent landowners. Specific Q: Is it off the pad or still on the pad? A: Hilcorp's proposed operations will be conducted on the pad. Seaview 9 was directionally drilled southwest to total measured depth of 7,749’, which is equivalent to about 6,230’ below ground surface. Casing pipe was run in the well, and that pipe was surrounded and sealed on the outside by cement. Shallow aquifers are isolated and protected by surface casing pipe and cement. That work was completed this past July and August. Hilcorp conducted those operations according to AOGCC-approved Permit to Drill No. 221-025. Conservation Order 791 (CO 791, issued June 24, 2021) granted a spacing exception to drill, test, and produce Seaview 9. Seaview 9 required an exception to statewide spacing rules because it is located within 1,500' of a property line where landowners change, within 3,000' of the existing Seaview 8 well, and it is the second well within the same governmental section (one square mile). Hilcorp was granted a spacing exception to drill Seaview 9 at this location because the reservoir sands in the Cook Inlet Basin are frequently limited in size and not connected to one another. Testing is needed to determine reservoir presence, size, and connectivity. Specific Q: Is this an expansion? A: Yes, but only within the existing Seaview 9 well. Hilcorp originally expected to find gas trapped in reservoirs below a certain depth, which is termed the "Top of the Productive Horizon" and is indicated by the "X" on the maps accompanying Hilcorp's applications. The black-colored dots on those maps between the Seaview 9 surface hole location (SHL) on the drilling pad and the below- ground Seaview 9 bottom hole location (BHL) serve only to emphasize the underground path of the well. The other red-colored dots shown on Hilcorp’s map indicate the existing wells. The left-hand red dot represents the Seaview 7 stratigraphic test well that was drilled to a depth of about 322’ below ground level during 2017. The right-hand dot represents Anchor Point No. 1, an old oil exploration well that was drilled to a vertical depth of about 14,705’ and then plugged and abandoned in 1962. The green dotted line represents the area of notification for the application to amend CO 791. This area encompasses all lands within 3,000’ of the entire Seaview 9 well. Hilcorp's original CO 791 spacing exception for Seaview 9 allows well testing and producing of gas below that Top of the Productive Horizon depth. However, based on drilling results, Hilcorp has identified additional, shallower reservoirs above that depth in the well that may be gas-bearing. They wish to test, and possibly produce, those shallower reservoirs. Hilcorp's current application to amend CO 791 seeks approval to test and produce those shallower reservoirs. The intent of the current notice to amend CO 791 is to make every landowner of property within 3,000 feet of the entire length of Seaview 9 aware of Hilcorp's planned testing and possible production operations. This will allow those landowners the opportunity to provide comments for consideration, such as yours. Your comments list two specific concerns regarding Hilcorp's operations, noise and site restoration. By state statute, AOGCC regulates only below-ground drilling and production activities. AOGCC's jurisdiction does not extend to noise, emissions, and other surface disturbances. Those are regulated by agencies other than the AOGCC. However, my goal is to be as helpful to you as possible, so I spent time checking the Internet and other agencies. Regarding noise: Does the noise that you report occur constantly, or does it occur at specific times of day or on specific days of the week? I checked with the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC), and they do not regulate noise. For Anchorage, Noise Ordinance AMC 15.70 regulates industrial noise sources to 80 decibels at all times. The Kenai Peninsula Borough or the local municipality likely have similar ordinances, but I’ve been unable to find them on the Internet. I suggest contacting the Borough and municipal offices or conducting a further search of their websites. Regarding site impacts: AOGCC's regulations do not govern pipelines or surface impacts associated with pipelines. I suggest that you try contacting the Alaska Division of Oil and Gas, State Pipeline Coordinator’s Section as a possible source for additional requirements. I checked with the DEC and that department does not directly regulate surface impact and building of gravel drilling pads on state lands. You may try contacting the State of Alaska's Office of Project Management and Permitting, the Division of Mining, Land, and Water, and the Kenai Peninsula Borough Land Management Division for additional surface impact and restoration requirements. AOGCC’s jurisdiction regarding drill site restoration is limited to Regulation 20 AAC 25.170, Onshore Location Clearance, which requires the operating companies to remove all materials and debris from the location and to leave it in a clean and graded condition upon abandonment. AOGCC’s field inspectors conduct a final site inspection to ensure compliance with this regulation. Thank you again for your comments. They will be used to improve AOGCC’s performance.

September 20, 2021 I have no idea whether I should be opposed to this or not. I live within the area of the Seaview facility. I am concerned with the lack of basic information or lack of information put in layman's terms for the public that would make it easier to understand or even intelligently debate Hilcorps proposals. I do not believe I and others are incapable of understanding what a "spacing exception" is, if explained in a simple diagram that is not fuzzy or just put in plain English. I believe we all have jobs that require a vocabulary that others never have to use, so, when you interface with the public it is important to really make sure you explain things, that is, if you really want good comments. I do see a map with an X over something and some red dots. Also, I've tried reading the pages of jagon Hilcorp puts out most likely for legal purposes. Just being honest, I still don't get it. Explanations made at hearings or meetings might be great but people are busy and oftentimes it is too late when a meeting is noticed. So...my only guess at this point is, Hilcorp wants to move something closer to private property that was not in the initial permit. Is it off the pad or still on the pad? Is this an expansion? Here is what I think this commission needs to take into account when granting any exemption, permit or changes to these facilities. More and more of these facilities are going up in populated areas and they make an impact on the lives of the people living around them. Most people did not build their houses in this area yesterday. They had homes established before Hilcorp created Seaview 9. I think we all have been forced to accept this situation, like it or not. Some like it, some not. This commission needs to be mindful of what impacts are created by the changes you green light going forward. I live within the boundary of this area. Here are two concerns I have that are unfortunately negative to living near this sight, right now and maybe useful to deciding on granting a spacing exception...or not. 1. The noise generated from this facility, Seaview 9, needs to be dealt with. It sounds like a generator is running 24/7. The sound travels down the river valley. It is not acceptable. I don't even live as close as some do. I can't imagine what they put up. The only reprieve seems to be when there is a hard rain or the wind blows the opposite direction. It would be nice to know if this is temporary or permanent. I hope to God it is only temporary. I do know there are federal regulations to deal with noise when drilling in residential areas. To mitigate noise, they require taking steps to insulate the sound. Sound barriers, sound absorbers, sound curtains are made for this very thing. I think if Hilcorp is a part of this community they should be making investments that take care of noise so they are not driving away birds and animals as well as driving their neighbors crazy. I would love to speak with someone about this. I am still waiting on a reply. 2. Restoration. I know a lot of trees were removed to build the Seaview 9. Trees were recently taken out to put the pipeline under the Anchor River up to the New Sterling and across. I would love to see Hilcorp look for ways to help restore this area. I think it is even possible to get community participation if there were some guidance. It is vital to the habitat in this area; birds, fish and other wildlife. I think the people who live here in Anchor Point take a lot of pride in the beauty of this area and do not want it to be chipped away and left steril. I think there are ways we can have both but it takes a willingness and openness to some creative thinking when trying to blend the two. So, if noise or deforestation worsens with any new proposals, permits or exemptions for Seaview, I would have to say, I am not in favor of granting changes. Thank you.

On April 26, 2021, Hilcorp submitted to AOGCC, an Application for Spacing Exception for the Seaview No. 9 Well, to drill, test and produce the well in the Seaview Undefined Gas Pool within 1,500 feet of a property line where the owners and landowners are not the same on both sides of the line, pursuant to 20 AAC 25.055(d). The Seaview Undefined Gas Pool includes all gas sands located in the Lower Sterling, Beluga, and Tyonek Formations. In said application, Hilcorp submitted a well map showing the Top of the Productive Horizon ("TPH") at a depth of 4,562' MD. Hilcorp sent notice to all landowners within 3,000' of the affected area of the wellbore, using the TPH provided. On June 24, 2021, AOGCC issued CO 791 granting Hilcorp a spacing exception to drill, complete, test, and produce the Seaview No. 9 Well. The order granted approval on the basis that notice was sent to the proper parties based on the TPH displayed on the attached map. In July 2021, the Seaview No. 9 Well was drilled and completed, reaching a total depth of 7,749' MD. As a result, the TPH was encounter shallower than anticipated, at a depth of 393'MD. Hilcorp is now requesting a revision to CO 791 to allow for completion, testing, a production of the Seaview No. 9 well in the shallower formations, within the Seaview Undefined Gas Pool, as indicated on the attached Exhibit A. This revision will require notice to be sent to additional owners and landowners within 3,000' of the wellbore's affected area. In accordance with 20 AAC 25.055(d)(1), a copy of this application to revise CO 791 was sent via certified mail to all of the additional owners and landowners within 3,000' of Seaview No. 9's entire wellbore (surface down to bottomhole). The mailing list for all affected owners and landowners is also attached (see Exhibit B). Copies of the certified mail receipts have also been Seaview Unit Application to Revise CO 791 Seaview No. 9 Page 2 of 5 enclosed. No other affected operators or working interest owners exist.
