ENTERED AND EFFECTIVE at Anchorage, Alaska and this 7th day of July, 2009. BY DIRECTION OF THE COMMISSION ~ ~ STATE OF ALASKA ALASKA OIL AND GAS CONSERVATION COMMISSION 333 West Seventh Avenue, Suite 100 Anchorage, Alaska 99501 Re: THE APPLICATION OF ConocoPhillips Alaska, Inc. for an order granting an exception to the well spacing requirements of 20 AAC 25.055 to allow drilling and completion of the proposed Beluga River Unit No. 242- 04 gas development well within 1,500 feet of a property line, and within the same governmental section as, and within 3000 feet of, other wells in the Beluga River Unit that are producing from or may be capable of producing from the same pool. IT APPEARING THAT: Docket Number: CO-09-10 Conservation Order No. 620 Beluga River Unit No. 242-04 Gas Development Well Kenai Peninsula Borough, Alaska July 7, 2009 ConocoPhillips Alaska, Inc. (CPAI), by letter received March 18, 2009 by the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (Commission), requests an order granting an exception to the well spacing requirements of 20 AAC 25.055 to allow drilling and completion of the proposed Beluga River Unit (BRU) No. 242-04 (BRU 242-04) gas development well within 1,500 feet of a property line and within the same governmental section as, and within 3000 feet of, other BRU wells that are, or may be, capable of producing from the same pool (i.e., the Beluga River Undefined Gas Pool), which is in the Kenai Peninsula and Matanuska-Susitna Boroughs, Alaska. 2. On April 10, 2009, the Commission requested additional information from CPAI; on April 13, 2009, CPAI submitted the requested information. 3. On April 14, 2009, pursuant to 20 AAC 25.540, the Commission published in the ANCxo~GE DA~LY NEws notice of the opportunity for a public hearing on May 19, 2009. 4. No protest to the application ar request for a hearing was received. 5. The public hearing was vacated on May 7, 2009. 6. On June 4 and 5, 2009, the Commission requested additional information from CPAI; on June 5, 2009, CPAI submitted the requested information. FINDINGS: CPAI is the operator of the Beluga River Unit and will be the operatar of the proposed BRU 242-04 well, which will be within the Beluga River Unit, Beluga River Undefined Gas Pool, Kenai Peninsula Barough, Alaska. 2. The proposed BRU 242-04 well will be an onshore, deviated gas development well with a surface location 201 feet from the north line and 368 feet from the east line of Section 4, T12N, RIOW, Seward Meridian (S.M.), and a projected bottom hole location 1,602 feet from the north line and 968 feet from the east line of Section 4, T12N, R10W, S.M. 3. The BRU 242-04 well is proposed to be drilled and completed within 1500 feet of a property line where landownership changes (i.e., the Cook Inlet shoreline that separates onshore federal lease A029656 from offshore state lease ADL017592). 4. The proposed BRU 242-04 well may open Beluga River Undefined Gas Pool reservoirs from which other wells within Section 4, T13N, RlOW, S.M. (i.e., the active BRU 232-04 and BRU 244-04 gas production wells) are, or may be, capable of producing. i • 5. The BRU 242-04 well is proposed to be drilled and completed within 3000 feet of other wells (i.e., the active BRU 211-03, BRU 224-34, BRU 232-04, and BRU 244-04 gas production wells) drilled to, or possibly capable of producing from, the same pool (i.e., the Beluga River Undefined Gas Pool). 6. By certified mail, CPAI sent notice of the application to all owners, landowners, and operators of all properties within 3000 feet of each anticipated productive pool of the proposed BRU 242-04 well. CPAI provided the Commission the notice, date of mailing, and addresses to which the notice was sent. 7. The BRU 242-04 well is designed to recover Beluga River Undefined Gas Pool reserves that are not accessible with existing wells because of the discontinuous nature of the reservoir sands. CONCLUSIONS: 1. Exceptions to 20 AAC 25.055(a)(2) and 20 AAC 25.055(a)(4) are necessary to allow drilling and completion of the BRU 242-04 gas development well. This well is needed to recover Beluga River Undefined Gas Pool reserves that are not accessible with existing wells. 2. Granting a spacing exception to allow drilling and completion of the BRU 242-04 well will not result in waste or jeopardize the correlative rights of adjoining ar nearby owners. NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED: Pursuant to the Commission's authority under AS 31.05.030 and 20 AAC 25.055, the Commission approves CPAI's application for an order granting exceptions to the well spacing provisions of 20 AAC 25.055(a)(2) and 20 AAC 25.055(a)(4) to allow drilling and completion of the BRU 242-04 well. CPAI may proceed with regular production as long as it complies with the terms of the Beluga River Unit agreement and all other legal requirements.

("CPAI"), as operator of the Beluga River Unit, hereby applies for an exception to the provisions of 20 ACC 25.055 for the drilling of BRU 242-04. This well is being drilled to access the discontinuous channel sands in the Beluga interval that can not be drained from existing wells. Surface Location: 201' FNL, 368' FEL, Sec. 4, T12N, R1OW, S.M. Lat. 61 ° 09' S6.65", Long. -151 ° 02' S3.91" Top of Beluga Interval, estimated: 4070' MD, 3535' SSTVD 963' FEL, 1592' FNL, Sec. 4, T12N, R10W, S.M. Lat. 61 ° 09' 42.95", Long. -151 ° 03' S.99" Bottom Hole, estimated: 7205' MD, 6670' SSTVD 1602' FNL, 968' FEL, Sec. 4, T12N, RlOW, S.M. Lat. 61 ° 09' 42.85", Long. -151 ° 03' 6.09" The surface and bottom hole location of the well are on A029656. This lease is owned from surface to 7,000 by ConocoPhillips Alaska, Inc. (33.33%), Municipal Light & Power (3333%) and Chevron (33.33%). A spacing exception is required because the proposed well is within 3,000 feet of a well capable of producing in the same interval, as shown in E~iibit "A". The following wells currently produce within 3,000 feet of the proposed well: 224-34, 232-04, 211-03 and 244-04. This spacing exception is necessary to efficiently drain the Beluga channel belt sands. Geologic analysis suggests the Beluga interval is a series of thin, discontinuous, stacked channel sands with a low net-to gross ratio. The channel belt widths are too narrow to yield efficient drainage based on the current spacing for gas wells. • ~ ~ Enclosed please find Exhibit A, a plat showing the BRU 242-04 surface location and well path from the existing Dual South well pad.

The BRU 242-04 well targets gas bearing Beluga interval channel sands. 6. The BRU 242-04 well is to be drilled as a development well within the existing Beluga River Unit targeting Beluga gas sands in Federal Lease A029656. A location exception is required because the productive interval of the well is within 3,000 feet of a well capable of producing from the same interval as shown in E~ibit A. BRU 224-34, 232-04, 211-03 and 244-04 are productive wells within 3,000 feet of 242-04. There are no other wells, productive or non-productive, that penetrate the Beluga within 3,000 feet.

("CPAI"), as operator of the Beluga River Unit, hereby applies for an exception to the provisions of 20 ACC 25.055 for the drilling of BRU 242-04. This well is being drilled to access the discontinuous channel sands in the Beluga interval that can not be drained from existing wells. Surface Location: 201' FNL, 368' FEL, Sec. 4, T12N, R10W, S.M. Lat. 61 ° 09' S6.65", Long. -151 ° 02' S3.91" Top of Beluga Interval, estimated: 4070' MD, 3535' SSTVD 963' FEL, 1592' FNL, Sec. 4, T12N, R10W, S.M. Lat. 61 ° 09' 42.95", Long. -151 ° 03' S.99" Bottom Hole, estimated: 7205' MD, 6670' SSTVD 1602' FNL, 968' FEL, Sec. 4, T12N, RIOW, S.M. Lat. 61 ° 09' 42.85", Long. -151 ° 03' 6.09" The surface and bottom hole location of the well are on A029656. This lease is owned from surface to 7,000 by ConocoPhillips Alaska, Inc. (33.33%), Municipal Light & Power (33.33%) and Chevron (33.33%). A spacing exception is required because the proposed well is within 3,000 feet of a well capable of producing in the same interval, as shown in E~iibit "A". The following wells currently produce within 3,000 feet of the proposed well: 224-34, 232-04, 211-03 and 244-04. This spacing exception is necessary to efficiently drain the Beluga channel belt sands. Geologic analysis suggests the Beluga interval is a series of thin, discontinuous, stacked channel sands with a low net-to gross ratio. The channel belt widths are too narrow to yield efficient drainage based on the current spacing for gas wells. ~ ~ Enclosed please find Exhibit A, a plat showing the BRU 242-04 surface location and well path from the existing Dual South well pad. Enclosed please find the following additional information; Exhibit B, a notification list of parties entitled to notice of this application that have been duly notified and Affidavit - Geological and Affidavit Land.

The BRU 242-04 well is to be drilled as a development well within the existing Beluga River Unit targeting Beluga gas sands in Federal Lease A029656. A location exception is required because the productive interval of the weli is within 3,000 feet of a well capable of producing from the same interval as shown in E~-ibit A. BRU 224-34, 232-04, 211-03 and 244-04 are productive wells within 3,000 feet of 242-04. There are no other wells, productive or non-productive, that penetrate the Beluga within 3,000 feet. This spacing exception is necessary to efficiently drain the Beluga channel belt sands. Geologic analysis suggests the Beluga interval is a series of thin, discontinuous, stacked channel sands with a low net-to gross ratio.

This well is being drilled to access the discontinuous channel sands in the Beluga interval that can not be drained from existing we11s. Surface Location: 201' FNL, 368' FEL, Sec. 4, T12N, R1OW, S.M. Lat. 61° 09' S6.65'', Long. -151° 02x 53.91" Top of Beluga Interval, estimated: 4070' MD, 3535' SSTVD 963' FEL, 1592' FNL, Sec. 4, T12N, R10W, S.M.

Lat. 61 ° 09' 42.85", Long. -151 ° 03' 6.09" The surface and bottom hole location of the well are on A029656. This lease is owned from surface to 7,000 by ConocoPhillips Alaska, Inc. (33.33%), Municipal Light & Power (33.33%) and Chevron (33.33%). A spacing exception is required because the proposed well is within 3,000 feet of a well capable of producing in the same interval, as shown in Exhibit "A". The following wells currently produce within 3,000 feet of the proposed well: 224-34, 232-04, 211-03 and 244-04. This spacing exception is necessary to efficiently drain the Beluga channel belt sands. Geologic analysis suggests the Beluga interval is a series of thin, discontinuous, stacked channel sands with a low net-to gross ratio. The channel belt widths are too narrow to yield efficient drainage based on the cnrrent spacing for gas wells. ~ ~ . ~ ~ Enclosed please find E~iibit A, a plat showing the BRU 242-04 surface location and well path from the e~sting Dua1 South well pad.

That I axn over the age of 21 years and mentally competent to make this affidavit. 2. That I am lmowledgeable and fully informed concerning the facts contained in the affidavit. 3. That for approximately the past 28 years I have worked as a geologist for ConocoPhillips Alaska, working Cook Inlet geology for approximately 11 years. For the past 5 years I have been the geologist for the Cook Inlet Asset team, responsible for Beluga River Unit and North Cook Inlet Unit geologic interpretation. 4. That I have been respbnsible for the geological work related to a Location Exception applicarion for BRU we11242-04 with a surface location of 201' FNL, 368' FEL, Sec. 4, T12N, RlOW, S.M. and a bottom hole location of 1602' FNL, 968' FEL, Sec. 4, T12N, R10W, S.M. 5. The BRU 242-04 well targets gas bearing Beluga interval channel sands. 6. The BRU 242-04 well is to be drilled as a development well within the existing Beluga River Unit targeting Beluga gas sands in Federal Lease A029656. A location exception is required because the productive interval of the well is within 3,000 feet of a well capable of producing from the same interval as shown in Exhibit A. BRU 224-34, 232-04, 211-03 and 244-04 are productive wells within 3,000 feet of 242-04. There are no other wells, productive or non-productive, that penetrate the Beluga withixi 3,000 feet. This spaeing exception is necessary to efficiently drain the Beluga channel belt sands. Geologic analysis suggests the Beluga interval is a series of thin, discontinuous, stacked channel sands with a low net-to gross ratio. The channel belt widths are too narrow to yield efficient drainage based on the current spacing for gas wells. Further a.ffiant sayeth not. %~~ ~ ~~~,~ 3 ~~?/ d ~' Richard A.
