May 1, 1990 IT APPEARING THAT: I · ARCO Alaska, Inc. operator of the Beluga River Unit, submitted an application, dated April 2, 1990 request- ing an exception to 20 AAC 25.055 to permit the drill- ing of the Beluga River Unit (BRU) well 214-26. · Notice of the application was published in the Anchorage Daily News on April 6, 1990. 3. No protests to the application were received. FINDINGS: · ARCO Alaska, Inc. proposes to drill the BRU 214-26 from a surface location 295' from the west line, and 930' from the south line of section 26, T13N, R10W, Seward Meridian to a bottom hole location 1573' from the west line and 1400' from the south line of section 26, T13N, R10W, Seward Meridian. · An exception to 20 AAC 25. 055(a)(2) and (4) is neces- sary. 3. Offset operator/owners have been notified. · Drilling the well on a nominal 320 acre spacing in the Beluga River Gas Field will enhance recovery. The drilling of a well closer than 1500 feet to a drilling unit boundary in the Beluga River Unit and at a distance of less than 3000 feet from an existing well will not effect correlative rights. CONCLUSIONS: The requested exception will not create waste and the correlative rights of all owners are protected. Conservation Ord._ No. 251 Page 2 May 1, 1990 NOW, THEREFORE, it is ordered that: ARCO Alaska, Inc. is exempted from the requirements of 20 AAC 25.055(a)(2) and (4) for the drilling, completing, and producing of the Beluga River Unit well numbered 214-26.
