Notice of Public Hearing

 

STATE OF ALASKA

ALASKA OIL AND GAS CONSERVATION COMMISSION

 

Re:       Docket Numbers: CO-20-009

            Amendment of Conservation Order 231

Hilcorp Alaska, LLC (Hilcorp) submitted Application for Sundry Approvals Forms to perforate the Cannery Loop Unit (CLU) 13 and 15 wells. Both CLU 13 and CLU 15 pass through reservoir sands within CINGSA’s Sterling C Gas Storage Pool. Because some of the intervals Hilcorp seeks to perforate are within 1,500 feet of the vertical property line of the gas storage pool (State of Alaska Lease ADL 391627), they require spacing exceptions under Rule 4 of Conservation Order (CO) 231 and 20 AAC 25.055. As a result, on its own motion, the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (AOGCC) is setting a hearing to consider amending CO 231. Specifically, AOGCC is reviewing whether a 1500-foot offset requirement is appropriate for a vertical property line.

The AOGCC has scheduled a public hearing on this subject for August 4, 2020, at 10:00 a.m. at 333 West 7th Avenue, Anchorage, Alaska 99501. 

If, due to health mandates issued as a result of the covid-19 virus,  it becomes necessary to conduct the hearing telephonically, those desiring to participate or be present at the hearing should check with AOGCC the day before the hearing to ascertain if the hearing will be telephonic. If the hearing is telephonic, on the day of the hearing, those desiring to be present or participate should call 1-800-315-6338 and, when instructed to do so, enter the code 14331. Because the hearing will start at 10:00 a.m., the phone lines will be available starting at 9:45 a.m. Depending on call volume, those calling in may need to make repeated attempts before getting through. 

If a request for a hearing is not timely filed, the AOGCC may consider the issuance of an order without a hearing. To learn if the AOGCC will hold the hearing, call (907) 793-1221 after June 10, 2020.

In addition, written comments regarding this application may be submitted to the AOGCC, at 333 West 7th Avenue, Anchorage, Alaska 99501.  Comments must be received no later than 4:30 p.m. on June 27, 2020, except that, if a hearing is held, comments must be received no later than the conclusion of the August 4, 2020 hearing.

If, because of a disability, special accommodations may be needed to comment or attend the hearing, contact the AOGCC’s Special Assistant, Jody Colombie, at (907) 793-1221, no later than July 30, 2020.
