 Marathon Oil Company   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Marathon primarily challenges the "well day" regulation on two grounds: It argues that: (1) dual completion wells are, in effect, two wells and should be treated as such; and (2) its method of "well" counting is consistent with prior Department policy and industry practice.
Marathon itself acknowledged that the principal purpose of the King Salmon, Grayling and Dolly Varden platforms was to produce oil from the Hemlock, West Foreland and G pools, and that the principal purpose of the Steelhead platform was for the production of gas from the GGS for commercial purposes.
Marathon argues that the regulation’s reference to the reporting practices of the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (AOGCC) leads to the reasonable conclusion that each completion is to be counted as a "well" for ELF purposes.
