On May 22, the Alaska Department of Natural Resources' Division of Oil and Gas posted five updated Cook Inlet unit maps.

The new maps were for the Cannery Loop unit, Deep Creek unit, Kenai unit, Ninilchik unit and Pretty Creek unit.

All the units are operated by Hilcorp.

Except for the Ninilchik unit all the units had recently approved plans of development.

On May 1 Hilcorp requested the division delay mandatory unit contraction for Ninilchik, as well as filed the 20th Ninilchik POD. No decision for either appeared on the division's website as of May 28.

All the maps appear on the division's website under Information, and then under Maps & GIS. Among other things the five new maps show the location of each unit, Participating Areas, townships, surrounding units, and lease numbers for state and non-state leases.

Other Cook Inlet region maps that appear on the division's website include activity maps, notification lessee maps, and working interest ownership maps.

North Slope maps on the website include activity maps, discovery and prospect maps, unit maps, notification lessee maps, working interest ownership maps and royalty share maps.
