On May 16, 2011, 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 to allow drilling of the Beluga River Unit (BRU) 224 -23 Twin development gas well (BRU 224 -23T) 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. On May 19, 2011, a notice of a public hearing was published on the State of Alaska's Online Public Notice website, and published on the Commission's Internet website. On May 24, 2011, the notice was published in the PENINSULA CLARION newspaper. 3. By certified U.S. 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 224 -23T 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 June 13, 2011. FINDINGS: 1. CPAI, the operator of the BRU, will be the operator of BRU 224 -23T, to be located within the BRU, Beluga River Undefined Gas Pool, Kenai Peninsula Borough, Alaska. 2. The BRU 224 -23T will be an onshore, deviated gas development well with a surface location 560' from the south line (FSL) and 2628' from the west line (FWL) of Section 23, T13N, R1 OW, Seward Meridian (S.M.), and a projected bottom hole location 1094' FSL and 2447' FWL of Section 23, T13N, R10W, S.M. 3. The BRU 224 -23T well will replace production lost when nearby well BRU 224 -23 was shut -in due to mechanical problems. BRU 224 -23T will recover Beluga River Undefined Gas Pool reserves that are not accessible with existing wells because of the discontinuous nature of the Sterling and Beluga channel -belt reservoir sands. However, this well may open reservoirs from which other wells (i.e., the active BRU 211 -26, BRU 232 -23 and BRU 232 -26 wells and the inactive BRU 224 -23 well) are, or may be, capable of producing. • • Conservation Order No. 652 July 7, 2011 Page 2 of 2 CONCLUSIONS: 1. An exception to 20 AAC 25.055(a)(4) is necessary to allow drilling and completion of the BRU 224 -23T well in order to 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 224 -23T 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 an exception to the well spacing provisions of 20 AAC 25.055(a)(4) to allow drilling and completion of the BRU 224 - 23T 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.

Conservation Commission 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.

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 1 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. • r Mary Jones David McCaleb XTO Energy, 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 224 -23 Twin ( "the Well "). The Well is being drilled to replace BRU 224 -23. That well was recently shut -in and the borehole was displaced with kill weight fluids due to tubing and annular communication problems. The proposed Well 224 -23T is located as follows: Surface Location: X = 1460673 E, Y = 2630713 N, ASP Zone 4, NAD83 559.14' FSL, 2627.02' FWL, Sec. 23, T13N, R1OW, S.M.

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 30 years I have worked as a geologist for ConocoPhillips Alaska, working Cook Inlet geology for approximately 13 years. For the past 7 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 well 224-23 Twin with a surface location of 559.14' FSL, 2,627.02'FWL, Sec. 23, T13N, R10W, S.M. and a bottom hole location of 1,093.27'FSL, 2,447.08' FWL, Section 23, T13N, R10W, S.M. 5. The BRU 224 -23 Twin well targets gas bearing Sterling and Beluga interval channel sands. The BRU 224 -23 Twin well is to be drilled as a development well within the existing Beluga River Unit targeting Sterling and Beluga gas sands in State of Alaska lease ADL021127. A location exception is required because the productive interval of the well is within 3,000 feet of wells capable of producing from the same interval as shown in Exhibit A. BRU 232 -23 (producing), BRU 224 -23 (killed), BRU 211 -26 (producing) and BRU 232 -26 (producing) are wells located within 3,000 feet of 224 -23 Twin. There are no other wells, productive or non - productive, that penetrate the Sterling or Beluga within 3,000 feet. This spacing exception is necessary to efficiently drain the Sterling and Beluga channel belt sands. The BRU 224 -23 Twin well will replace production that was lost when the BRU 224 -23 well was shut -in and displaced with kill weight fluids due to tubing and annular communication problems.
