68773-002\DOCS _ LA:213731.1

Jurisdiction
1. The Court has jurisdiction over this Motion pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1334.

This proceeding is a core proceeding within the meaning of28 U.S.c. 157(b)(2)(A) and (0).
2. Venue of

these proceedings and this Motion is proper in this District

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1408 and 1409.


3. The statutory predicates for the relief sought herein are sections 105 and

503 of

the Bankptcy Code, Bankrptcy Rule 2002, and Local Rule 2002-1

(e).

Background
4. On March 9, 2009(the "Petition Date"), the Debtors commenced these

cases by filing voluntary petitions for relief under chapter 11 the Bankruptcy Code.
5. The Debtors have continued in possession of

their property and have

continued to operate and manage their business as debtors in possession pursuant to sections
1107(a) and 1108 of

the Bankptcy Code. No request has been made for the appointment ofa

trustee or an examiner in these cases.


6. The Offce of

the United States Trustee appointed an Offcial Committee

of

Unsecured Creditors (the "Committee") on March 19,2009.


7. Prior to filing for bankruptcy, the Debtors were a group of independent

energy companies engaged in the acquisition, development and exploitation of oil and gas
properties in the western United States. As of

the Petition Date, the Debtors' oil and gas assets

were located offshore near California and principally offshore in Alaska. Pursuant to previous
orders entered by this Court, these oil and gas assets now either have been sold or abandoned and
the Debtors are winding down their businesses.
68773-002\DOCS_LA:21373 i.i

8. The Debtors are currently analyzing the terms of a chapter 11 plan of

liquidation. In order to further that analysis, the Debtors need to understand the scope of any
administrative expenses that may be asserted against the estates.
9. On May 5,2009, the Court entered the Order (A) Fixing the Procedures
and Deadlines to File Proofs of Claim, (B) Approving the Form and Manner of Notice of Bar

Dates, and (C) Granting Related Relief (Docket No. 277) ("Existing Bar Date Order"). The
Existing Bar Date Order established the bar dates of (i) June 23, 2009 for claims arising prior to

the Petition Date, which includes administrative expenses against the Debtors' estates arising

under Bankruptcy Code 503(b)(9), and (ii) September 8,2009 for any Governmental unit's
claims arising before the Petition Date.
10. Accordingly, this Motion seeks the establishment of

March 15.2010, as

the bar date (the "Administrative Claims Bar Date") specifically for fiing requests for payment
of administrative expenses incurred from March 9, 2009 through February 15, 2010 allowable
under Bankuptcy Code sections 330, 503(b), 507(a)(2), 507(b) or 1114(e) ("Administrative

Claims"), other than certain exceptions noted in paragraph 12 below, in order to determine the

universe of all administrative expenses as of such date that wil have to be satisfied with respect
to any plan.

Request for Relief


11. By this Motion, the Debtors seek the issuance and entry of an order of

this

Court:

arising on or before February 15,2010, must fie with the Court and serve a statement (an
"Administrative Claim Statement"): (i) setting forth the amount of any alleged Administrative
Claim incurred on or before February 15,2010,2010, and (ii) providing a description of

the

b. providing that the Administrative Claim Statement shall be served

(email: ikharasch(fpszjlaw.com) and Scotta E. McFarland (email: smcfarland(fpszjlaw.com)


and (B) Pachulski Stang Ziehl & Jones LLP, 919 N. Market St., 17th Floor, Wilmington,

Delaware 19801, Attn: James A. O'Neil (email: joneil(fpszjlaw.com); and (ii) counsel to the
Official Committee of

Unsecured Creditors (the "Committee"): Steptoe & Johnson, 1330

Connecticut Ave., N.W., Washington, DC 20036, Attn: Fil Agusti (email:


fagusti(fsteptoe.com) ;
c. approving the manner of service and form of the proposed notice

of the Administrative Claims Bar Date, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A
(the "Notice");
d. providing that if a person or entity fails to timely fie and serve an

Administrative Claim Statement by the Administrative Claims Bar Date as required above, then such person or entity shall be forever barred, estopped and enjoined from asserting or receiving any distribution with respect to any such Administrative Claim, and the Debtors shall be forever

68773-002\DOCS_LA:213731.1

discharged and released from any and all indebtedness or liability with respect to any such
Administrative Claim;
e. providing that the Administrative Claims Bar Date wil not apply

to the following:
(1) fees payable to the Office ofthe United States Trustee pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1930;

(2) Administrative Claims that have already been approved by

order of the Court;


(3) Administrative Claims that have been paid in full at any

time prior to the Administrative Claims Bar Date;


(4) Administrative Claims of governmental units that are

subject to Bankptcy Code section S03(b)(1 )(D);


(S) Administrative Claims against the Debtors' estates arising

under Bankuptcy Code S03(b )(9) or otherwise subject to

the Existing Bar Date Order; and


(6) Administrative Claims of professionals of the Debtors or

the Committee arising under Banptcy Code sections 327,328,330,331, S03(b)(2) or 1103.

Basis for Relief

A. The Court Has the Authority to Set the Administrative Claims Bar Date
12. Though the Bankruptcy Code and Bankuptcy Rules do not specifically set

forth a deadline for fiing requests for payment of administrative expense claims, sections 10S(a)
and S03(a) of the Bankptcy Code furnish clear authority for the establishment of

the

Administrative Claims Bar Date.

13. Section S03(a) of

the Bankptcy Code permits "timely" requests for

payment of administrative expenses, and thus presupposes the establishment of a deadline for

filing such requests. 1l.U.S.C. S03(a). According to Coller's:


The Bankptcy Reform Act of 1994 added the word "timely" to the introductory portion of section S03(a) . . . The amended
68773-002\DOCS_LA:213731.1

language of section S03( a) thus provides courts with the statutory


authority to set and enforce administrative claim bar dates. Neither
the Bankruptcy Code nor the Federal Rules of

Bankruptcy Procedure sets forth a specific limitation period for the fiing of administrative expense claims, so courts can exercise their discretion in setting bar dates according to the circumstances of each case.

4 Lawrence P. King, et aI., Coller on Bankruptcy iS03.02(2), at S03-11 (1Sth ed. rev. 2007).
14. Further, section 1OS(a) of

the Bankruptcy Code empowers bankptcy

courts to "issue any order, process, or judgment that is necessary or appropriate to carry out the

provisions of (the Bankuptcy Code)." 11 U.S.C. 1OS(a). Courts therefore have the discretion
to fix deadlines for filing requests for payment of administrative expense claims.

is. Now is the appropriate time to establish the Administrative Claims Bar
Date. The Debtors, pursuant to previous orders entered by this Court, have liquidated their oil and gas assets and they are winding down their businesses. The Debtors are currently analyzing

the terms of a chapter 11 plan of liquidation. In order to further that analysis, the Debtors need
to understand the scope of any administrative expenses that may be asserted against the estates.

Although the Debtors believe that most entities asserting administrative claims against the estates

have already filed their claims, the setting of the Administrative Claims Bar Date wil bring
finality to this very important aspect of the plan analysis. In addition, the Administrative Claims
Bar Date wil afford the Debtors with a modicum of time to review and object to, if

necessary,

Administrative Claims.

16. No one wil be prejudiced by Administrative Claims Bar Date. The

Debtors propose that the Notice wil be sent on or before February 13,2010 -- 30 days prior to

the proposed Administrative Claims Bar Date. The Debtors respectfully submit that this wil

68773-002\DOCS_LA:2 I 373 i.i

provide ample time for potential claimants to review their books and records, consult with their
attorneys if they so desire, and file and serve Administrative Claim Statements.
B. Notice of the Administrative Claims Bar Date.
17. Pursuant to Bankptcy Rule 2002(m), bankptcy courts may "enter

orders designating the matters in respect to which, the entity to whom, and the form and manner

in which notices shall be sent except as otherwise provided by (the Banptcy Rules)." Fed. R.
Bank. P. 2002(m). The Debtors seek approval of

the Notice, substantially in the form attached

hereto as Exhibit A. The Debtors wil serve the Notice by on (i) all creditors and all potential
creditors known to the Debtor (including employees), (ii) all parties who are on the service list
described in Local Rule 2002-1 (c), (iii) the Debtors' secured lenders, (iv) the Office of

the

United States Trustee, and (v) the relevant taxing authorities.


18. The Debtors intend to serve the Notice by first class mail, postage prepaid,

on or before February 13,2010. The Debtors submit that the procedures proposed herein are fair
and beneficial to all affected parties because they are reasonably calculated to provide the holders of Administrative Claims with notice of the Administrative Claims Bar Date, and they

afford such parties sufficient time in which to prepare and fie their Administrative Claim
Statements.

Notice
19. Notice of

this Motion has been given to the following parties, or in lieu


the United States Trustee; (ii) the Debtors'

thereof, to their counsel, ifknown: (i) the Office of

secured lenders, (iii) (vi) the Committee; and (v) parties requesting notice under Bankptcy

68773-002\DOCS_LA:2 i 3731. i

Rule 2002. The Debtors submit that, in light of the nature of the relief requested, no other or
further notice need be given.

No Prior Request
20. No prior application for the relief sought herein has been duly made by the
Debtors to this or any other Court.

WHEREFORE, the Debtors respectfully request that the Cour grant the relief

requested herein and issue and enter the affixed order (a) fixing March 15.2010, as the
Administrative Claims Bar Date; (b) fixing the method and manner of the Debtors' delivery

of

notice of the establishment of the Administrative Claims Bar Date to creditors and other parties
in interest, (c) approving the form of

Notice; and (d) granting the Debtors such other and further

relief as this Court deems just, proper and equitable.
