RE: SD O&G Case Nos. 33-2013 & 38-2013—Intervener Agrees to Dismissals

Signature: ----e_____-_ ,_

Comments:

On October 2, 2013 the DENR received petitions to intervene in O&G Case Nos. 33-2013 & 38-2013 from Robert Hellerud. On October 9, 2013 I called Robert Hellerud and explained that Continental Resources requested that the portion of Case No. 33-2013 pertaining to Sections 30 and 31, T22N-R3E be dismissed from the case. I also explained that Continental Resources requested that Case No. 38-2013 be dismissed in whole. I further explained that we wanted to make sure these dismissals were acceptable to him. Mr. Hellerud stated that the dismissals were acceptable.

RE: CASE NOS. 33-2013 AND 38-2013

Dear Mr. Lee:

I am writing in response to your inquiry regarding N. Robert Hellerud and if he was mistakenly included on the notification lists for the captioned cases. In Mr. Hellerud's email to you, he indicated that he was not aware of mineral and/or surface estate ownership within or adjacent to Harding County, SD.

We have been in contact with Continental Resources, Inc. and Continental has indicated that their records show E.O. Bakko and Emma M. Bakko owning acreage in the E/2NW/4, W/2NE/4 of Section 31-T22N-R3E. Continental has a list of possible heirs from a Williams County tract so it included all those names in the mailing list for this well. Robert Hellerud was listed as one of those possible heirs.

THE DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL RESOURCES

IN THE MATTER OF THE APPLICATION OF CONTINENTAL RESOURCES, INC.

CERTIFICATION OF APPLICANT

STATE OF OKLAHOMA

) ) SS

COUNTY OF OKLAHOMA

I, JIM CANON , the applicant in the above matter after being duly sworn upon oath hereby certify the following information in regard to this application:

South Dakota Codified Laws Section 1-40-27 provides:

"The secretary may reject an application for any permit filed pursuant to Titles 34A or 45, including any application by any concentrated swine feeding operation for authorization to operate under a general permit, upon making a specific finding that:

(1) The applicant is unsuited or unqualified to perform the obligations of a permit holder based upon a finding that the applicant, any officer, director, partner, or resident general manager of the facility for which application has been made:

(a) Has intentionally misrepresented a material fact in applying for a permit;

(b) Has been convicted of a felony or other crime of moral turpitude;

(c) Has habitually and intentionally violated environmental laws of any state or the United States which have caused significant and material environmental damage;

(d) Has had any permit revoked under the environmental laws of any state or the United States;

(e) Has otherwise demonstrated through clear and convincing evidence of previous actions that the applicant lacks the necessary good character and competency to reliably carry out the obligations imposed by law upon the permit holder; or

(2) The application substantially duplicates an application by the same applicant denied within the past five years which denial has not been reversed by a court of competent jurisdiction. Nothing in this subdivision may be construed to prohibit an applicant from submitting a new application for a permit previously denied, if the new application represents a good faith attempt by the applicant to correct the deficiencies that served as the basis for the denial in the original application.

CAF.doc Page 1

All applications filed pursuant to Titles 34A and 45 shall include a certification, sworn to under oath and signed by the applicant, that he is not disqualified by reason of this section from obtaining a permit. In the absence of evidence to the contrary, that certification shall constitute a prima facie showing of the suitability and qualification of the applicant. If at any point in the application review recommendation, or hearing process, the secretary finds the applicant has intentionally made any material misrepresentation of fact in regard to this certification, consideration of the application may be suspended and the application may be rejected as provided for under this section.

Applications rejected pursuant to this section constitute final agency action upon that application and may be appealed to circuit court as provided for under chapter 1-26."

Pursuant to SDCL 1-40-27, I certify that I have read the forgoing provision of state law, and that I am not disqualified by reason of that provision from obtaining the permit for which application has been made.

1 declare and affirm under the penalties of perjury that this claim (petition, application, information) has been examined by me, and to the best of my knowledge and belief is in all things true and correct.

PETITION AND APPLICATION OF CONTINENTAL RESOURCES, INC.

Continental Resources, Inc. ("Continental") and for its petition and application to the

"Board"), states and alleges as follows:

1.

Continental is the owner of an interest in the oil and gas leasehold estate underlying all or

portions of the following described lands in Harding County, South Dakota:

Township 22 North, Range 3 East Section 30: All Section 31: All

(the "Subject Lands")

STATE OF SOUTH DAKOTA

2.

That Section 31 is currently not spaced and Section 30 is currently spaced as part of a

1280-acre spacing unit in the Table Mountain Field comprised of Sections 29 and 30, Township

22 North, Range 3 East, pursuant to Order No. 13-2008.

3.

That by petition filed by Continental requesting inclusion of Section 31 within the

boundaries of the Table Mountain Field and requesting to establish Sections 30 and 31 as a 1280-

acre spacing unit, it is anticipated that an order will be issued by the Board establishing said

spacing unit in the Table Mountain Field.

4.

That Continental hereby requests the Board authorize Continental to drill, equip and

operate the Carpenter 41-30H well as a horizontal well in the "B" Zone of the Red River pool in

the Table Mountain Field within the Subject Lands.

5.

That there are both separately owned tracts and separately owned interests in the spacing

unit comprised of the Subject Lands.

2

45-9-31. Order pooling all interests in spacing unit--Application by interested person--Notice and hearing--Terms and conditions. In the absence of voluntary pooling, the Board of Minerals and Environment or the secretary, as applicable, upon the application of any interested person, shall enter an order pooling all interests in the spacing unit for the development and operation of the spacing unit, and for the sharing of production from the spacing unit. Each such pooling order shall be made after notice and opportunity for hearing, and shall be upon terms and conditions that are just and reasonable, and that afford to the owner of each tract or interest in the spacing unit the opportunity to recover or receive without unnecessary expense, his or her just and equitable share.

8.

That Section 45-9-32 of the South Dakota Codified Laws provides as follows:

45-9-32. Order of Board of Minerals and Environment pooling all interests in spacing unit--Operation of well--Rights of owners to participate--Payment of expenses. Each such pooling order shall authorize the drilling, equipping, and operation of a well on the spacing unit; shall provide who may drill and operate the well; shall prescribe the time and manner in which all the owners in the spacing unit may elect to participate therein; and shall make provision for payment by all those who elect to participate therein of the reasonable actual cost thereof, plus a reasonable charge for supervision and interest.

Continental respectfully requests that the Board enter an order to pool all interests in a

1280-acre spacing unit for the Table Mountain Field described as the Subject Lands.

10.

In Continental's opinion, pooling the Subject Lands will increase the ultimate recovery of

the pool, prevent waste, prevent the drilling of unnecessary wells and protect correlative rights.

WHEREFORE, Continental respectfully requests that notice of this matter be provided as

required by South Dakota laws and that thereafter the Board of Minerals and Environment enter its

order granting the relief requested herein.
