Notice of Public Hearing
STATE OF ALASKA
ALASKA OIL AND GAS CONSERVATION COMMISSION
Re: Docket Number: CO-20-024 And AIO-20-021
Colville River Unit, Alpine and Fiord Oil Pools
The application of ConocoPhillips Alaska, Inc. (CPAI) for amendments to Conservation Order (CO) No. 433C and Area Injection Order (AIO) No. 18D to expand the areal and vertical limits of the Colville River Unit (KRU), Alpine Oil Pool (AOP) and to incorporate the existing Fiord Oil Pool (FOP) into the AOP.
CPAI, by letter dated November 5, 2020, requests the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (AOGCC) amend CO No. 433C and AIO No. 18D to expand the affected area of the AOP to include acreage that is currently within the CRU but outside of the areal extent of the AOP and expand the vertical limits of the AOP, which would have the effect of incorporating the FOP (governed by CO No. 569 and AIO No. 30) into the AOP.
The AOGCC has tentatively scheduled a public hearing on this application for December 15, 2020, at 10:00 a.m. at 333 West 7th Avenue, Anchorage, Alaska 99501. To request that the tentatively scheduled hearing be held, a written request must be filed with the AOGCC no later than 4:30 p.m. on November 25, 2020.
