Inc., on behalf of itself, Atlantic Richfield Company and Shell Oil Company, proposes to drill the subject well at a location as shown on the attached plat. For your consideration and approval we submit, in triplicate, State of Alaska Oil & Gas Conservation Commission form "Permit To Drill Or Deepen", and our check in the amount of $100.00. As shown on the attached plat, the proposed surface location of subject well lies with%n U.S. Oil & Gas Lease A-029656 and is 1,210 feet North and 931 feet West from the Southeast Corner of Section 34, T13N, R10W, S. M. and will be directionally drilled to a bottom hole location in State Lease ADL-17599 50 feet North and 1,180 feet East of the South- east Corner °f said Section ,~"~ Both the surface location and bottom hole location fall within the Beluga River Unit boundary. There are presently no wells drilling on lease ADL-17599 or within the governmental section containing the proposed bottom hol~e location. There is, however, BRU 212-35, which is a completed well producing in the Beluga sands. Pursuant to Oil & Gas Conservation Regulations and the applicable statutes of the State of Alaska, Chevron U.S.A. Inc., as operator of the Beluga River Unit, hereby requests the Alaska Oil & Gas Conservation Commission to issue an order allowing exception to Title 20, Alaska Administrative Code, Section 25,055 to permit the drilling of subject well at the proposed location. ~:!,~, L~i,,~.~.~ [/ ~J'~-,'t~ ''~ i,'., Page Two/ a~,.,'~ ~.. - · · 100 Years Helping to Create the Future Alaska Oil & Gas Conservation Commission June 26, 1980 Page Two Chevron U.S.A. Inc., Atlantic Richfield Company and Shell Oil Company, each to an undivided one-third (1/3) interest, are the sole working interest owners in the lease to be drilled and are also the owners,,' in like proportions of the working interest in all leases committed to the Beluga River Unit. There are no other working interest owners or operators which would be affected by the granting of the exception requested. We believe that the requested exception is necessary and desirable in order to evaluate the Sterling and Beluga sands on the Southeast Flank of the structure. It is therefore respectfully requested that the exception be granted. : JET: sj Very truly your~ _ /(~ ¢. F.
