Conoco permitting Cassin No. 6 well

ConocoPhillips has officially applied for a second drilling permit in the Bear Tooth unit.

The company is asking for permission to drill the Cassin No. 6 well in the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska unit, according to U.S. Bureau of Land Management filings.

Cassin No. 6 would be on lease AA081833, in the middle of the unit. The lease is included in Unit Area A, a subset of the unit designated for initial work commitments.

At the end of November, the BLM published a notice that ConocoPhillips had applied to drill the Cassin No. 1 exploration well on lease AA081754, also in Unit Area A.

Under its current agreements, ConocoPhillips must drill an exploration well in Unit Area A and test a previous well it drilled in the unit — Scout No. 1 — by June 1, 2013.
