Please note that this permit authorizes drilling activities in the planned hole section only. A separate permit application must be submitted for any plugged back or redrilled hole sections. This permit to drill does not exempt you from obtaining additional permits or an approval required by law from other governmental agencies and does not authorize conducting drilling operations until all other required permits and approvals have been issued. In addition, the Commission reserves the right to withdraw the permit in the event it was erroneously issued. A weekly status report is required from the time the well is spudded until it is suspended or plugged and abandoned. The report should be a generalized synopsis of the week's activities and is exclusively for the Commission's internal use. A mudlog and samples are required for this remote exploratory well. All dry ditch sample sets submitted to the Commission must be in no greater than 30' sample intervals below conductor pipe and 10' sample intervals through target zones. At a minimum, openhole gamma ray, resistivity, and sonic or density porosity logs must be recorded from the base of conductor pipe to total depth of the Renaissance Umiat, L0 1 Umiat No. 14 Permit: 207 -178 well. If formation testing is planned, a Sundry Notice (Form 403) must be submitted in advance of the operations. Operations must be conducted in accordance with AS 31.05 and Title 20, Chapter 25 of the Alaska Administrative Code unless the Commission specifically authorizes a variance. Failure to comply with an applicable provision of AS 31.05, Title 20, Chapter 25 of the Alaska Administrative Code, or a Commission order, or the terms and conditions of this permit may result in the revocation or suspension of the permit. When providing notice for a representative of the Commission to witness any required test, contact the Commission's petroleum field inspector at (907) 659 -3607 (pager).

A `cold water' mud will be used to drill the 8.5" hole to 1500' MD, , The well is expected to be a straight vertical well. An 8.8 Ib /gat conventional 7% KCI. PHPA water based mud system will then be used to start drilling out of the 9.625" conductor set at -80'. Note the fluid will weight 8.8 - 9.0 ppg by TD of the section. This is expected to be a tolerable amount of solids incorporated into the mud by TD of the interval. The well will then be perforated and tested as per Renaissance's well plan. All cuttings are planned to be frozen and tested according to Renaissance's waste disposal plan and reused on roads and pads at a later date. Care should be used in segregating trace all in cuttings (lower section) from the upper sections to ensure the applicability of the cuttings reuse and thereby minimize cuttings hauled off to G&I. , IFE Benchmark and Goals IFE Benchmarks No Stuck Pipe No Mud Related HSE Incidents or Issues Casing/Uner to Bottom Minimization of cuttings haul off Summary Umiat #14 KOP Feet Mud Hole Casing Casing Depth Depth TVD Drilled Mud Weight size size Program (ft) (ft) (ft) Inclination (ft) System (lb/gal) (in) (in) Max /TD 8.5 na na 80 1500 1500 p 1,200 SPUD /PHPA 8.8 - 9.0 Cost Estimate Estimated Drilling Fluid Related Costs Depth Engineering Interval Cumulative Interval Product Costs Costs (days) Cost Cost (ft) ($) ($) ($) ($) Production 8.5" hole $30,000 $10,500 (10) $40,510 $40,500 P10 P50 P90 Total Fluid and Engineering Cost $28,000 $40,500 $75,000 P10: Utilizing used fluids with no tole problems.

Previous reviews of USN and USGS Legacy wells ( #1 - #11) drilled in the late 1940's and early 1950's along with the Sea Bee well drilled in 1979 have yielded the following observations: • Oil did not flow to surface in any of the wells by its own pressure. • The wells were swabbed and/or pumped to get the oil to surface • Based on the fluid level (50ft. from surface after shut -in) in well #9 and the crude oil gravity of 0.84 the reservoir pressure in the lower Grandstand at 1000 ft. is estimated to be 342 psi, lower than the normal expected gradient of .433 psi/ft. ✓ • Bureau of Mines (Baptist, 1959) estimated the pressures to be in the range of 50 to 350 psi for depths of 275 and 1100 ft, indicating the reservoir is underpressured. • Planned wells for the 2007-2008 delineation and appraisal program will not penetrate sub - thrust plates where potential gas cap gas may be encountered. • The BOPE system as outlined in 20 AAC 25.035 subsection: e. 1A will allow for the circulation of gas versus the diverter BOPE configuration - as a contingency measure. e . 0 ik.1" TRANSMITTAL LETTER Reference No.: DATE Wednesday, December 19, 2007 FROM TO Mr. Mike Cook Mr. Tom Maunder Renaissance Alaska, LLC Alaska Oil and Gas 1029 W 3 Avenue Conservation Commission Suite 402 333 W 7th Avenue, Suite 100 Anchorage, AK 99501 Anchorage, AK 99501 INFORMATION TRANSMITTED LETTER I I MAPS 1 REPORT X OTHER DETAIL QTY DESCRIPTION 2 copies Permit To Drill for Umiat # 14 RECEIVE) Du: 1 9 2007 Alaska 01 & c,or C 1M ColiVIt,S + ; Renaissance Alaska, LLC * Tel: 907 - 771 -0701 * Fax: 907 - 644 -4890 -a .

Drilling waste management includes: preventing and reducing wastes, recycling, treating, and disposal. Renaissance has oversight of all waste management for the project including collection, storage, transport, and disposal. Renaissance plans to conduct an oil and gas delineation drilling program in the Northeast National Petroleum Reserve -Alaska (NPR -A) on lands leased to Renaissance through the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM). The location is Umiat, Alaska, and is approximately 170 kilometers (km) (106 miles [mi]) southwest of Deadhorse and 145 km (90 mi) west of the Trans Alaska Pipeline System Pump Station 2 (Figure 1). Renaissance's proposed program includes up to 10 wells, eight vertical and two horizontal wells as shown in Table 1.0 -1. Both horizontal wells would be drilled from a single vertical well location ( Umiat Well 13). TABLE 1.0-1 Drill Sites Name Location Umiat Well 12 S34, TIN, R1W, U.M. Umiat Well 13 S3, T1S, R1W, U.M.

R= range; S = section; T = township; U.M. = Umiat Meridian Coordinates are (NAD 27) UTM Z5N. Access to the project location would be via packed snow trail or ice road using low - pressure vehicles (LPVs) (such as Steigers and Tuckers). Three access route options to Umiat are proposed (Figure 1): one starting from Drill Site 2P (DS -2P) utilizing a 126-km (78 -mi) trail heading south along the east side of the Colville River to Umiat; one from the Franklin Bluffs Staging Area heading southwest along a 160 - km (100-mi) packed snow trail to Umiat; and one from Mile 52 of the Dalton Highway south of the Franklin Bluffs area heading west 179 km (111 mi) to Umiat. All access route options will cross the Colville River near Umiat via an ice bridge. Packed snow trails are the preferred alternative for both options. If it becomes necessary, Renaissance may construct all or part of the access route from DS -2P to Umiat as an ice road. Mobilization would begin when tundra travel is permitted by the State of Alaska and the BLM. Renaissance Umiat LLC 1 December 2007 15226-02.02- 07 -035A/07 -449A Rev. 1 • • Temporary Drilling Waste Storage Plan 2007 -2009 Winter Delineation Drilling Program Northeast NPR -A, North Slope, Alaska Renaissance anticipates early tundra access from DS -2P or Franklin Bluffs to pre -pack the snow trail. Pre packing will be done using a Tucker Sno -Cat with certified summer travel tracks. The proposed ice and snow roads will cross water bodies that include the Itkillik River, Anaktuvuk River, Colville River, Kuparuk River, Toolik River, and Seabee Creek as well as several unnamed streams. In addition to the winter access route, existing gravel roads proximate to the Umiat Airport would be used. Ice roads would also be constructed within the project area to provide access from the drill sites to the Alaska Department of Transportation & Public Facilities - maintained airport facility at Umiat (Figure 1.0 -3). Existing gravel pads (e.g., Seabee Pad and Pad 2) would be used for material and equipment staging during winter delineation efforts. Mobilization of the majority of the project equipment would occur along the LPV route when tundra travel is permitted by the State of Alaska and the BLM; however, some equipment may be transported by aircraft to the Umiat airport. Crews would be transported to and from Umiat by commercial air carrier. After drilling and testing is completed or when the winter season ends, the drill rig would be stored on the existing Seabee gravel pad in Umiat or transported off site to Deadhorse or Canada. 1.1 Applicable Project Contact Information Renaissance Umiat, LLC 1029 W 3` Avenue, Suite 402 Anchorage, Alaska 99501 Michael R.

During storage of drilling wastes, the storage area will be monitored daily for the presence of leachate or other materials that may cause a degradation of the ice pad or berms. Leachate that develops will be pumped onto dryer cuttings within the storage area and allowed to freeze or pumped into holding tanks for disposal. Managing free liquids to avoid prolonged contact with the containment Renaissance Umiat LLC 2 December 2007 15226-02.02 -07 -035.4107 -449A Rev. 1 I I Temporary Ming Waste Storage Plan 2007 -2009 Winter Delineation Drilling Program Northeast NPR -A, North Slope, Alaska ice pad and berms will mitigate possible degradation of the storage area. At the end of the drilling activities, the storage area will be completely emptied, cleaned, and removed from the drill site in compliance with Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (ADEC) requirements for closure. Renaissance anticipates that it will generate drill cuttings beginning about February 1, 2008 with storage and transportation continuing through mid -April. Transportation of drill cuttings would be overland by ice road and snow road to Prudhoe Bay for disposal at a Grind & Inject (G &I) Facility. Approximately 76 cubic meters (100 cubic yards) of drill cuttings are expected to be generated from each well. The cuttings will be maintained in ice - bermed cells located on the drill pads: three cells would be used; one active cell; one cuttings storage cell and one cell that will be available in case of emergencies. Cuttings will be spread out in the active cell where they will be allowed to freeze prior to placement in the storage cell and then hauled overland to G &I. Liquids storage will utilize tank and/or vessel containment. A Field Environmental Coordinator (FEC) will provide environmental support for Renaissance delineation drilling activities as part of a regulatory compliance program. The FEC will assist project personnel in maintaining compliance with regulations and permit stipulations. Agency reporting of spills and incidents will be performed by the FEC. Additional reporting required as part of regulatory compliance will also be performed by the FEC. 2.1 Description of Drill Cuttings Stockpile A temporary stockpile area (Figure 2.2 -1) consisting of three cells would be established on the ice pad at each drill site. The storage area would be approximately 15 meters (m) by 30 m (50 feet [ft] by 100 ft), and each cell of the storage area would be approximately 15 m by 9 m (50 ft by 30 ft). The stockpile berms (approximately 1.2 m [4 ft] high) would be constructed of ice chips/snow and water above the constructed ice pad at the drill sites (Figure 2.2 -2) . A freeboard of 0.6 m (2 ft) would be maintained at all times. The ice pad would be constructed with a minimum ice thickness of 0.6 m (2 ft). Most of the drilling locations are not on level ground therefore resulting pad thickness would likely be much greater. A temporary stockpile area may be established at the Seabee Pad for the storage of frozen cuttings. The Seabee Pad temporary stockpile area would be approximately 15 m by 9 m (50 ft by 30 ft). The base of the stockpile area and stockpile berms would be constructed of ice chips/snow and water. The berms would be approximately 1.2 m (4 ft) high, and a freeboard of 0.6 m (2 ft) would be maintained at all times. 2.2 Disposal of Drill Cuttings The drill cuttings that are temporarily stored at Umiat under this plan will be transported to Prudhoe Bay and disposed of by G &I via an Alaska Oil & Gas Conservation Commission - approved injection well. Ballot agreements are being negotiated and are expected to be complete by January 2008. 2.3 Drill Cuttings Transportation Frozen drill cuttings will be placed into cuttings haulers (Tundra Bears) and transported to Prudhoe Bay for disposal. North Slope manifests will be completed for all drill cuttings transported. North Slope manifests can be found in the Alaska Waste Disposal & Reuse Guide. Cruz Construction, Inc., would provide overland transport services. Drill cuttings stockpiles would be removed and transported as drilling progresses. At the end of the winter drilling season, any remaining cuttings stockpiles would be completely removed from the drill sites. A Certification of Timely Waste Removal is included as Appendix A.

Upon closure of the storage cell for each drill pad, the FEC will inspect the site to verify that all cuttings and associated waste have been removed. 2.5 Closure Plan Photographic documentation of the storage area location and state of construction prior to and during use is required. Following the removal of drill cuttings, the Drilling Supervisor or designee will visually inspect and photograph the storage area to verify that all cuttings material and ice that had contact with cuttings has been removed from the site. Renaissance will prepare a written report for ADEC within seven days after the final site inspection. The report will provide information regarding the volume of drill cuttings stored at Umiat and its final disposition at an approved injection facility.

Have I overlooked something? Sorry, we're in the midst of the year -end rush (I currently have 8 other permit applications on my desk). If necessary, the Commission can generally turn an application for a permit to drill around fairly quickly -- a matter of a few days -- IF the application is complete. That includes having the bond and ownership records in place, and providing a shallow hazards analysis with the application (required by 20 AAC 25.061 — a copy of our regulations is available through our web site at www.aogcc.alaska.gov). A mud log will be required, as will a complete suite of well logs (at a minimum: gamma ray, resistivity and at least sonic or density porosity) from the base of conductor to TD. Renaissance will also have to make a case for the absence of H2S in the proposed well. Please let me know if you have any questions.
