MOTION FOR LEAVE TO FILE HEARING EXHIBITS

OUT OF TIME

Docket No. 2015-001 Cause No. 176-05

WHITING OIL AND GAS CORPORATION ('•Whiting"), by and through its

undersigned attorneys and pursuant to Rule R641-1 00-400 of the Utah Administrative Code

("U.A.C."), hereby moves the Board of Oil, Gas and Mining (the ''Board") for an order allowing

Whiting to file its hearing exhibits in this Cause out of time. In support of this motion, Whiting

respectfully states and represents as follows:

1. Whiting is the operator of the Moroni #llM-1107 Well (the ••weD"), the

·subject well in this matter.

2. Whiting filed its original Request for Agency Action (the "Original

Request'') in this Cause on December 11, 2014, before the Well was completed. Since filing its

Original Request, Whiting has completed the Well and production from the Well has commenced.

3. On April3, 2015, Whiting filed and served its Motion for Leave to Amend

Request for Agency Action. Whiting's motion to amend was granted by order issued on April 7,

2015. Whiting's Amended Request for Agency Action (the "Amended Request") updates the

Original Request with respect to completion and testing operations on the Well and seeks relief

consistent with the recent production from the Well. The Amended Request is based, in part, on a

Sundry Notice filed by Whiting on March 20, 2015, and approved by the Division of Oil, Gas and

Mining on March 31, 2015. Some of the technical information contained in Whiting's hearing

exhibits, which is relevant to the Amended Request, has only recently been obtained because it is

based on the recent production information from the Well.

4. Pursuant to U.A.C. Rule R641-105-500, Whiting's hearing exhibits should

be filed at least thirty days before the hearing for which the exhibits are intended. Pursuant to

U.A.C. Rule R641-I00-400, exhibits filed later than thirty days before a scheduled hearing may be

allowed by the Board upon good cause shown.

5. Good cause to grant this motion appears because some of the relevant

information contained in Whiting's hearing exhibits was not available thirty days before the Board's

regularly scheduled April22, 2015 hearing, and Whiting has diligently prepared and submitted its

proposed hearing exhibits, including the recently acquired information, in a reasonable manner

under the circumstances.

6. Whiting's proposed hearing exhibits and a proposed form of Order Granting

Leave to File Hearing Exhibits Out of Time are attached hereto.

WHEREFORE, for the foregoing reasons, Whiting respectfully requests that the

Board grant Whiting's Motion for Leave to File Hearing Exhibits Out of Time.

Dated this 8th day of April, 2015.

Un~ the. Stare o!Urah role R649·3-2o-3.2. Whiting Oil and Gas Corpor.ltiou res~d\llly rt!qugr :lpp<0\'31 to continue Oaring of the produced gas \'Oiun~e from the Moroni llM-1107.

Wbiring hydr:mli~ly stintuL1ted tbe borizontallarer.Jl in the subject well and sub~ly drilled out ~\-=1 frac plugs before encoUiltering e:xcessh~ worl.:ing pressure for the coiled robing unit. As p:~tt of the completion operntions. "~ subS<!qtlmlly flowed the well ro reduce the wells pressure before drilling the remaining frac plugs. On M:~rch 17. 201S. Whiting fini~d drilling Out the frac plugs. released the snubbing unit. :wd ~nrinued the flowtacl: oper.>tions.

Wbiting c:unenlly bas a pending Docl:.et 2015-00ltC:ruse 176-05 (flaring exemption) that wa.s origin:llly scheduled !or the J:wuary be:lring. B~ the \\~ll was nor completed before th:lt dale. Wbiring bas rt!qllested ~er.Jl continuances ro a time\\~ sufficient production history is av:lil:lble to present before tbe Board.. At this time. Wbiting feels we will have sufficient production infonnarion fur the April :r.t 201S he:uing and bave rt!quested collriou:mce for 1hr s:lid hearing.

Wbiting bas investigated three sales options. Fim. Ques1'3C Gas Co .. a 1~ gas distribution line located approxim.11e.ly one mile away: Ques= Gas Co. does not allow direct connection ro thrir loc:tl distribution system. Secood. Quesl3r Inremate piprline. :tpproximately 18 ntiles to a cODDection. Thicd. Kern River llllcrst.tte. approximately 36 Illites to :t connection. The two intersr..te pipelines :~re presently not interested in COllDecting the Moroni well as !bey will ~quire sufficient gas resCf\•es to ju.sti1y the building a pipeline to this :trea. Thus. additional de\~lopmenr \\ill be m{Uired in or~ ro establish g:tS s:tles in this area.

Flaring is aitic:tl and necessary to :tcquire addirion:ll production data in order to ev:tlu:ne tbe reservoir for 1\Jrtber are:t clevelopruenr. The subject well is currently producing :tpproximarely 400 to SOO MCFD. In addition. !be production c!.1ta is tt!quireclro pro~icle tbe Bo:trd with our an:tlysis and recomnleQcl3tion of proper \\~ll spacing. As development coruinues. production in!omutiou will :tlso be uliliud to cletcrllliue the initi:ll sizing of a gas plant.

Whiting \\illaclclress the other options !bat are described in R649-3-2o-3.2 atthr April 22. :2015 hearin11. To cl:lte. Whiting bas not fouuclan econolllic :tltemati\~ to flaring.

In an effort to minimize the effects of Oaring. the gas is inciner.lted in a combustor. Iris rt!qllested that Whiting be 3llowed to fJ:Ife the well through the DlODth of April. :2015 or until the flaring exen1p1iou is appro\-e by the bo:trd on April22. 201S.

Exhibit E-10 Gas Pipeline Costs

• Option 1. Questar at Indianola Gate Tap (25 Miles)

- The initial cost estimate is $60,000 per inch mile

- 12" pipeline x 25 miles x $60,000 per inch mile= $18.0 MM

- Permitting and right of way at $4/ft

- 25 miles x 5,280' x $4/ft = $528 K

- Total cost for pipeline only= $18.5MM

• Option 2. Kern River Gas Transmission at Dog Valley Tap (36 miles)

- The initial cost estimate is $60,000 per inch mile.

- 12" pipeline x 36 miles x $60,000 per inch mile= $25.9 MM

- Permitting and right of way at $4/ft

- 36 miles x 5280' x $4/ft = $760 K

- Total cost for pipeline only= $26.7 MM

• Gas Plant Cost

- Initial gas plant installation 20 MMcfpd = $22 MM

Energy+ Technology =WH~0Growth "

Exhibit E-11 Gas Pipeline Viability

• Permitting and installation will take 2 years.

• Addition high volume gas wells will need to be drilled to justify plant and pipeline construction.

• Questar: (Intrastate gas sales) - The vertical Moroni 11M-1107 WOBBE is 1562 BTU. Questar has a local distribution line

in the area. The BTU range for customers is between 950 to 1150 BTU with less than 3% inert gas. May be able to meet the BTU specs however it is highly unlikely that Questar will accept gas into this line since this is not a common practice. Questar line cannot accept high Ethane gas content of Moroni 11M-1107 well.

- Tap Fee is $50 K

• Kern River: (Interstate gas sales) - Best option to sell gas

- Higher capital cost requirement

- Tap Fee is $100 K

• (CNG) Compressed Natural Gas 11Bakken Express" type of gas recapture process and transportation.

- Evaluating a gas recapture contract {C3 plus) with processing company Credence and trucking company Oscomp.

- Compressed natural gas would have to be transportation via truck.

- Cost is $100,000/month for four truck/trailer transports for 500 Mcfpd.

- Compression station and unloading station lease at $30,000 per month

- Each transport trailer must be pressured to 3,000 psi and can only carry 120 Mcf per trailer

- Un-known if Questar or Kern River would take gas in small volumes and would require both tap fee and un-loading facility installation to be built.

- Net Gas Sales economics projected to be at a loss of $94,000 per month at $3/Mcf.

• 15 MMcfpm x $3/Mcf = $45,000 per month gross income. Net gas income = $36,000

• Expense = $100,000 + $30,000 = $130,000

• Net loss from gas sales= $36,000 -$130,000 = -$94,000 per month

• Gas to Wire Two 65 Kw Units would be required

278 Mcfpd of gas would generate 400 Kw electricity

Power lines are near location to sell electricity

Cost would be $250,000 per 65KW unit. Two generators would be $500,000 plus electrical line and meter connections.

Pacificorp aka Pacific Power aka Rocky Mountain Power will not allow hook up for "gas to wire" unless net metering contract is already in

• Gas Injection -Would require drilling new well to 6,000'-7,000' to inject

into the Mesa Verde formation at a cost of $3MM.

- Surface compressors 800 Mcfpd at 2,000 psi = 600 hp.

- Lease cost of $40,000 per month or $1.5MM purchase plus infrastructure costs for 4 stage 600 hp compressor.

- Environmental impacts from burning 100 Mcfpd gas for fuel.

- High uncertainty of volume of gas that could be injected since project of this nature never done in the area.

A WHITING ~

Exhibit E-15 Summary and Conclusions

- Short Term

• Most viable is Compressed Natural Gas (CNG).

• Compressing and transporting of 500 Mcfpd would result in negative cash flow of $94,000 per month for gas sales.

• Negotiations with Questar and Kern River ongoing to tap pipelines and sell small gas volumes. Outcome uncertain at this time.

• Would enable oil sales without flaring

- LongTerm

• Build 36 mile pipeline to Kern River.

• Additional drilling and substantial gas volumes required to justify construction costs for 36 mile gas pipeline and 20 MMcfpd processing plant.
