Colombie Spe�ial 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 ENI US Operating ) Docket Number: CO -10 -17 Company for an order granting an exception ) Conservation Order No. 640 to the well spacing provisions of 20 AAC ) 25.055(a)(3) to provide for the drilling and ) Nikaitchuq Unit No. OP17 -02 completion of the proposed Nikaitchuq Unit ) Production Well No. OP 17 -02 production well within the ) Nikaitchuq Undefined Oil Pool same governmental quarter section as wells ) Nikaitchuq Unit capable of, or potentially capable of, ) North Slope Borough, Alaska producing or injecting within the same ) reservoir interval. ) November 19, 2010 IT APPEARING THAT: 1. On September 16, 2010, ENI US Operating Company (Eni) requested the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (Commission) grant an exception to the spacing provisions of 20 AAC 25.055 to allow drilling and completion of the Nikaitchuq Unit No. OP 17 -02 (NU No. OP 17 -02) production well within the same governmental quarter section as wells capable of, or potentially capable of, producing or injecting within the same pool (the Nikaitchuq Undefined Oil Pool), in the North Slope Borough, Alaska. 2. Pursuant to 20 AAC 25.540, on September 29, 2010 the Commission published in the ANCHORAGE DAILY NEWS notice of the opportunity for a public hearing on November 2, 2010. This notice was also published on the State of Alaska's Online Public Notice website and on the Commission's website. 3. By certified mail, Eni sent notice of the application to all owners, landowners, and operators of all properties within 1,000 feet of the anticipated NU No. OP17 -02 well. Eni 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 Eni 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 October 29, 2010. FINDINGS: 1. Eni is the operator of the Nikaitchuq Unit and will be the operator of the proposed NU No. OP 17 -02 production well located within the Nikaitchuq Undefined Oil Pool, Nikaitchuq Unit, North Slope Borough, Alaska. 2. The surface location for the proposed deviated production well NU No. OP17 -02 will be onshore, 3156' from the south line (FSL) and 1654' from the east line (FEL) of Section 5, T13N, RO9E, Umiat Meridian (U.M.). The top of the 1 proposed production interval will be located offshore, 591' FSL and 2054' FEL, Section 31, T14N, RO9E, U.M. The projected bottom -hole location will also be offshore, 1528' FSL and 4574' FEL, Section 25, T14N, RO8E, U.M. 3. The planned path for NU No. OP 17 -02 is based on seismic and nearby well information. 4. The prospective production interval and the planned total depth of NU No. 0P17- 02 lie within State of Alaska lease ADL- 391283. 5. Eni owns all the drilling rights in and all the production from the quarter section g p q in lease ADL- 391283. As a result, the requirements of 20 AAC 25.055(b) and (c) are inapplicable. The State of Alaska is the landowner for this lease. 6. The proposed NU No. OP17 -02 well is needed to maximize recovery of the Nikaitchuq hydrocarbon resource. It will be drilled as part of a series of alternating, extended - reach, horizontal production and production wells that will lie parallel with one another and about 1200 feet apart, spacing that was determined to be the best for overall drainage of the oil reservoirs targeted by the Nikaitchuq development. NU No. OP 17 -02 will be oriented in the optimal direction with regard to mapped faults and stress orientation. The 1200 -foot spacing and the directional orientation of the wells results in more than one well to be drilled within a single governmental quarter section. 7. Oil reservoirs targeted by well NU No. OP17 -02 are relatively uniform and continuous. 8. The anticipated path of well NU No. OP17 -02 lies within the same governmental quarter sections as the existing, offset, horizontal exploratory well Oliktok Pt I -2. NU No. OP 17 -02 will be the second well drilled and completed within the Nikaitchuq Undefined Oil Pool in the northwest and southeast quarter sections of Section 31, T14N, RO9E, U.M. 9. The Commission received no comments, objections or protests in response to the public notice regarding the NU No. OP17 -02 well or to the notification sent by Eni to all known owners, landowners and operators within 1,000 feet of the NU No. OP 17 -02 well. CONCLUSIONS: 1. An exception to 20 AAC 25.055(a)(3) is necessary to allow drilling and completion of the NU No. OP 17 -02 production well in order to maximize recovery of Nikaitchuq Undefined Oil Pool reserves. 2. A spacing exception to allow drilling and completion of the NU No. OP 17 -02 well is consistent with sound engineering and geoscience principles and will not result in waste or jeopardize correlative rights of adjoining or nearby owners. 2 NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED: Pursuant to the Commission's authority under AS 31.05.030 and 20 AAC 25.055, the Commission approves Eni's application for an order granting exception to the well spacing provisions of 20 AAC 25.055(a)(3) to allow drilling and completion of the NU No. OP17 -02 well. Eni may proceed with regular oil production operations as long as Eni complies with the terms of the Nikaitchuq Unit agreement, applicable Alaska laws, and all other legal requirements. f DONE at Anchorage, Alaska and dated Nov : �l ber ' , 2010. ,, swarit ArAE i Ad ''‘ ‘..,\ ‘ ,0IL,q,�,� l , . 1 T an, C iss'oner ; j ; ,Qr Alaska C .1 d Gas Conse ation Commission O * m, ` O 7 L- �� X5 5 Cathy P oerster, Commissioner �� 'ION CO W' Alaska it and Gas 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.
