Re: ORDER REFERENCE NO. 336-2011-12

Application of Weiser-Brown Oil Company for the formation of an exploratorydrilling unit composed of the Southeast Quarter of the Northeast Quarter ofSection 23, Township 18 South, Range 17 West, Union County, Arkansas andfor the integration of uncommitted leasehold working interest owners in suchexploratory drilling unit.

Commissioners:

Weiser-Brown Oil Company, P.O. Box 3050, Magnolia, Arkansas 71753, hereby appliesto the Arkansas Oil and Gas Commission as follows:

1, The applicant’s proposed drilling unit, described above is not subject to the fieldrules of the any field. The applicant and its participating partners control at least 50% ofthe right to drill and produce oil and gas from such proposed unit. The applicant thusrequests that the above described drilling unit be designated as an exploratory drillingunit.

2. Applicant’s proposed well will be drilled to an approximate depth of 3,300 feet totest the Hill Sand Formation as well as any other intervening formations.

3. Applicant owns oil and gas leases covering a substantial part of the proposedunit. Applicant should be named as operator of the well. The person or persons to beintegrated are shown in Exhibit "A" attached hereto and made a part hereof.

4. Applicant has made diligent efforts to negotiate with the non-participatingleasehold working interest owners, each of said parties owning an oil and gas leaseholdinterest in the proposed unit, but applicant has been unable to secure an assignment ofthe leasehold interest on an equitable basis or to secure participation by said parties inthe drilling of the proposed well.

5. Applicant states that it is in the best interest of conservation and the protection of

correlative rights of all interested parties that the proposed unit be developed for oil andgas production without undue delay.

6. In order that applicant may proceed with the orderly development of said unit,applicant hereby requests that the Arkansas Oil and Gas Commission issue its order, inthe alternative, that:

(a) The owners of non-consenting oil and gas leasehold workinginterests indicated above shall participate in the cost of drilling,testing and completion of the test well to be drilled by applicant onthe captioned unit, subject to the terms of an Operating Agreementwhich substantially employs the terms of the AAPL Operatingagreement, with a COPAS attached.

(b) All of the non-consenting oil and gas leasehold working interestswithin the proposed unit shall be force pooled and integrated intosaid unit, and a reasonable risk factor shall be established andassessed as a penalty against said integrated interest.

7. Applicant further states that due to the risks and costs inherent in the drilling ofthe proposed well, the Commission should fix a reasonable risk factor to be assessedas a penalty against the integrated interests within the unit. The risk factor should beapplied to the proportionate cost and expenses of drilling, completing and equipping thewell, which would have been borne by the interest of said parties had they participated.

8. Applicant further requests that this Commission's order specifically provide thatany party electing either to participate or be force pooled subject to recoupment of arisk factor penalty be bound by the terms of the attached AAPL Operating Agreementfor the life of commercial production within the unit so that all future unit operationsmight be proposed pursuant to the provisions of such agreement without the necessityof future action by this Commission.

9. Applicant also requests that said order be made applicable to any unknownspouse, heir, devisee, personal representative, successor or assign of said parties.

10. The names and addresses of parties interested in this proceeding are set forth inExhibit "A" attached hereto and made a part hereof.

11. Please note the appearance of Thomas A. Daily of Daily & Woods, P.L.L.C.,P.O. Box 1446, Fort Smith, Arkansas, 72902, on behalf of applicant.

Very truly yours,
