Notice of Public Hearing
STATE OF ALASKA
ALASKA OIL AND GAS CONSERVATION COMMISSION
Re: Docket Number: OTH-20-056
Furie Operating Alaska, LLC (Furie) submitted Application for Sundry Approvals Forms to modify current status of offshore exploration wells KLU 1, KLU 2A and KLU 4 from “Suspended” to “Plug and Abandoned”. Furie has requested the status change be made without any further wellwork. All three wells have structural pipe extending 15 feet above the seabed floor. Because AOGCC regulations require the wellhead equipment and casing be removed to a depth at least 5 feet below the mudline datum, on its own motion, the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (AOGCC) is setting a hearing to consider Furie’s request.
The public hearing is set on December 23, 2020, at 10:00 a.m. at 333 West 7th Avenue, Anchorage, Alaska 99501.
Due to health mandates issued as a result of the COVID-19 virus, it may be necessary to conduct the hearing telephonically. All who desire 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.
In addition, written comments regarding this application may be submitted to the AOGCC at 333 West 7th Avenue, Anchorage, Alaska 99501 or by email to jody.colombie@alaska.gov. Comments must be received no later than the conclusion of the December 23, 2020 hearing.
