By applications dated March 11, 2026, Hilcorp Alaska, LLC (Hilcorp), as the operator of the Ninilchik Uni (NU), requests that the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (AOGCC) expand the vertical extent of the Ninilchik Beluga/Tyonek Gas Pool (N-B/TGP), as currently defined by Rule 2 of Conservation Order 701C (CO 701C) in the NU.
