ENTERED AND EFFECTIVE at Anchorage, Alaska and this 23rd day of April, 2010. BY DIRECTION OF THE COMMISSION J. Colombie al Assistant to 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 provisions of 20 AAC 25.055 (a)(4) to provide for the drilling and completion of the proposed Beluga River Unit 212-24 Twin development gas well 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-10-OS Conservation Order No. 629 Beluga River Unit No.212-24 Gas Development Well Beluga River Undefined Gas Pool Beluga River Unit Kenai Peninsula Borough, Alaska Apri123, 2010 On February 26, 2010, ConocoPhillips Alaska, Inc. (CPAI) requested the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (Commission) grant an exception to the spacing provisions of 20 AAC 25.055(a)(4) to allow drilling and completion of the Beluga River Unit (BRU) 212-24 Twin (BRU 212-24 Twin) development gas well within 3000 feet of other BRU wells that are, or may be, capable of producing from the same pool (the Beluga River Undefined Gas Pool), in the Kenai Peninsula and Matanuska-Susitna Boroughs, Alaska. 2. Pursuant to 20 AAC 25.540, on March 3, 2010 the Commission published in the ANCHORAGE DAILY NEWS notice of the opportunity for a public hearing on April 6, 2010. By certified mail, CPAI sent notice of the application to all owners, landowners, and operators of all properties within 3000 feet of the anticipated productive pool of the proposed BRU 212-24 Twin well. CPAI provided the Commission the notice, date of mailing, addresses to which the notice was sent, and proof of mailing. 4. No protest to the application or request for hearing was received. 5. Because CPAI provided sufficient information upon which to make an informed decision, the request can be resolved without a hearing. 6. The public hearing was vacated on March 22, 2010. FINDINGS: 1. CPAI is the operator of the BRU and will be the operator of the proposed BRU 212-24 Twin development gas well that will be located within the BRU, Beluga River Undefined Gas Pool, Kenai Peninsula Borough, Alaska. 2. The proposed BRU 212-24 Twin will be an onshore, deviated gas development well with a surface location 2054' from the north line (FNL) and 142.5' from the west line (FWL) of Section 24, T13N, R10W, Seward Meridian (S.M.), and a projected bottom hole location 1800' FNL and 121' FWL of Section 24, T13N, R10W, S.M. 3. The proposed BRU 212-24 Twin well is designed to recover Beluga River Undefined Gas Pool reserves that are not accessible with existing wells because of the thin and discontinuous n~e of the reservoir sands. However, thi~i~all may open reservoirs from which other wells (i.e., the active BRU 232-23 and the inactive BRU 212-24) are, or may be, capable of producing. CONCLUSIONS: 1. An exception to 20 AAC 25.055(a)(4) is necessary to allow drilling and. completion of the BRU 212-24 Twin well in order to evaluate and recover Beluga River Unidentified Gas Pool reserves that are not accessible with existing wells. 2. A spacing exception to allow drilling and completion of the BRU 212-24 Twin well is consistent with sound engineering and geoscience principles and will not result in waste or jeopardize correlative rights of adjoining or 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 exception to the well spacing provisions of 20 AAC 25.055(a)(4) to allow drilling and completion of the BRU 212-24 Twin well. CPAI may proceed with regular production as long as it complies with the terms of the Beluga River Unit agreement, applicable Alaska laws, and all other legal requirements.

Seamount, Jr. Commissioner, Chair Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission P ca'~rster,~Commissioner ~ ,Tf ands s Conservation Commission Orman, C25fiimi sinner t'and Gas Conse tiol 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 Commission grants for good cause shown, a person affected by it may file with the Commission 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 Commission 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 Commission 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 Commission mails, OR 30 days if the Commission 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 Commission 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 Commission, and it may be appealed to superior court. That appeal MUST be filed within 33 days after the date on which the Commission mails, OR 30 days if the Commission otherwise distributes, the order or decision on reconsideration. As provided in AS 31.05.080(b), "[t]he questions reviewed on appeal are limited to the questions presented to the Commission by the application for 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. • Colombie, Jody J (DOA) From: Colombie, Jody J (DOA) Sent: Monday, April 26, 2010 2:05 PM To: 'Aaron Gluzman'; Bettis, Patricia K (DNR); caunderwood@marathonoil.com; 'Dale Hoffman'; Frederic Grenier; 'Gary Orr'; Jerome Eggemeyer; 'Joe Longo'; 'Lamont Frazer'; Marc Kuck; 'Mary Aschoff Maurizio Grandi; Ostrovsky, Larry Z (DNR); P Bates; Randy Hicks; Richard Garrard; 'Sandra Lemke'; 'Scott Nash'; Talib Syed; 'Tiffany Stebbins'; 'Wayne Wooster'; 'Willem Vollenbrock'; 'William Van Dyke'; Woolf, Wendy C (DNR); (foms2@mtaonline.net); (michael.j.nelson@conocophillips.com); (Von.L.Hutchins@conocophillips.com); Alan Dennis; alaska@petrocalc.com; Anna Raff; Barbara F Fullmer; bbritch; Becky Bohrer; Bill Walker; Bowen Roberts; Brad McKim; Brady, Jerry L; Brandon Gagnon; Brandow, Cande (ASRC Energy Services); Brian Gillespie; Brian Havelock; Bruce Webb; carol smyth; Charles O'Donnell; Chris Gay; Cliff Posey; Crandall, Krissell; Dan Bross; dapa; Daryl J.

Beluga River Unit BRU 212-24 Twin Kenai Peninsula Borough, Alaska Dear Mr. Davies: ConocoPhillips Alaska, Inc. ("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 212-24 Twin ("the Well"). The well is being drilled to access the discontinuous channel sands in the Beluga interval that can not be drained with existing wells. Surface Location: X = 1463508 E, Y = 2633336 N, ASP Zone 4, NAD83 2,054.0' FNL, 142.5' FWL, Sec. 24, T13N, R10W, S.M. Lat. 61 ° 12' 14.3 86", Long. -151 ° 00' 11.290" Top of Beluga Interval, estimated: 3783' MD, 3666' SSTVD X = 1463490 E, Y = 2633590 N, ASP Zone 4, NAD83 1800.3' FNL, 121.1' FWL, Sec. 24, T13N, R10W, S.M. Lat. 61° 12' 16.884", Long. -151° 00' 11.737" Bottom Hole, estimated: 6527' MD, 6410' SSTVD X = 1463490 E, Y = 2633590 N, ASP Zone 4, NAD83 1800.3' FNL, 121.1' FWL, Sec. 24, T13N, R10W, S.M. Lat. 61° 12' 16.884", Long. -151° 00' 11.737" The surface and bottom hole location of the Well are on ADL021128, which 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". Gas Producer BRU 212-24 (shut-in) and BRU 232-23 (producing) are located within 3,000' of the Well. 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. The operator considered utilizing the original BRU 212-24 wellbore, however, due to the technical risk of accessing zones below the collapsed casing operator elected to drill a grass roots well. Enclosed please find Exhibit A, a plat showing the Well surface and bottom hole location„ Exhibit B, a notification list of parties entitled to notice of this application that have been duly notified, Affidavit -Geological and Affidavit -Land. If you have any questions related to land or ownership issues, please contact me as noted above or for questions regarding the technical aspects of this application, please contact Richard Levinson at 907-265-1530. Sincerely, Julie Little Staff Landman Attachments: Exhibit A Plat Exhibit B Notification List Affidavit -Geological Affidavit -Land • ~ Comes now Richard A. Levinson, and first being duly sworn upon his oath, states and deposes the following: 1. That I am over the age of 21 years and mentally competent to make this affidavit. 2. That I am knowledgeable and fully informed concerning the facts contained in the affidavit. 3. That for approximately the past 29 years I have worked as a geologist for ConocoPhillips Alaska, working Cook Inlet geology for approximately 12 years. For the past 6 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 responsible for the geological work related to a Location Exception application for BRU we11212-24 Twin with a surface location of 2,054.0' FNL, 142.5' FWL, Sec. 24, T13N, R10W, S.M. and a bottom hole location of 1,800.3' FNL, 121.1' FWL, Sec. 24, T13N, R10W, S.M. 5. The BRU 212-24 Twin. well targets gas bearing Beluga interval channel sands. The BRU 212-24 Twin well is to be drilled as a development well within the existing Beluga River Unit targeting Beluga gas sands in State of Alaska lease ADL021128. 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 232-23 is a producing well and BRU 212-24 is a shut-in well located within 3,000 feet of 212-24 Twin. 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. The channel belt widths are too narrow to yield efficient drainage based on the current spacing for gas wells. Further affiant sayeth not. ~q_ ~ z/z6/~o Richard A.
