#10922474 v12
February 1,2010 through February 28,2010 (the "Interim Period"). In support of this
Application, Pepper respectfully represents as follows:
Background
1. On March 9, 2009 (the "Filing Date"), Pacific Energy Resources Ltd.,
Petro cal Acquisition Corp., Pacific Energy Alaska Holdings, LLC, Cameros Acquisition Corp.,
Pacific Energy Alaska Operating LLC, San Pedro Bay Pipeline Company, Cameros Energy, Inc.

Bankruptcy Code.

Professionals was entered.
Summary of Services Rendered and Expenses Incurred
-2
#10922474 v12
6. Applicant has rendered services from February 1,2010 through February
28,2010 in the amount of 15.40 hours.
7. Applicant maintains contemporaneous records of the time expended for the
professional services and expenses related thereto performed in connection with this Chapter 11
case and such records are maintained in the ordinary course of its business. These records
provide a detailed description of the services rendered and expenses incurred during the period
for which this Application is being made. A summary of Applicant's time records in the sum of
$3,143.00 is attached hereto as Exhibit B. This summary is broken down according to specific
task categories relating specifically to this Chapter 11 case. In some cases, Applicant found a
situation where the task of a professional may fit into two or more categories. In these cases,
Applicant has tried to categorize the time expended into the most appropriate category. If the
Court requires any further descriptions on these time entries, Applicant will provide additional
information.
8. Applicant believes that the post-petition services for the period February 1,
2010 through February 28, 2010 are reasonably worth the sum of$3,143.00 as set forth in the
summary identified as Exhibit B. Applicant notes that these costs are customary charges made to
other firm clients in the ordinary course of its billing practice. To assist the Court in its review of
the fees sought by Applicant, Applicant has separated its time entries in Exhibit B into the
following categories:
(a) Case Administration (Total hours: 3.00, total fees $569.00) This
category includes time spent by Applicant attending to coordination and compliance activities in
connection with the performance ofits duties as Delaware counsel for the Official Committee of
Unsecured Creditors.

#10922474 vl2
(b) General Creditor Inquiries (Total hours: .60, total fees $366.00) This
category includes time spent by Applicant communicating with creditors re bar date issues.
(c) Creditors' Committee (Total hours: .10, total fees $39.50) This
category includes time spent by Applicant communicating with counsel.
(d) Court Hearings (Total hours: .40, total fees $120.00) This category

same.

certificate ofno objection re previous fee application, drafting andfiling ofJanuary 2010 fee

(f) Fee Applications - Others (Total hours: 1.40, total fees $305.00)
This category includes time spent by Applicant drafting certificates ofno objection re previous

9. The attorneys who primarily worked on this case occasionally found it
necessary to consult with other attorneys in the firm on various aspects of the case. A brief
biography of each of the primary attorneys, along with a description of their areas of expertise,
are set forth in the summary identified as Exhibit C.
10. As outlined above, the attorneys who worked on this case from February 1,
2010 through February 28, 2010 have various levels of expertise. From time to time these
-4
#10922474 v12
attorneys consulted with each other and other attorneys on different aspects of the case. It is
submitted that this is a more efficient way to run a case than to expect a single attorney to be an
expert in all applicable areas of law. If a single attorney were to attempt to run a case such as
this, the attorney would have to learn through research what other attorneys know and can tell
him based on their years of knowledge and experience.
11. Applicant requires reimbursement of costs expended February 1, 2010
through February 28, 2010 in the sum of $696.16 as set forth in the summary identified as Exhibit
D. Applicant notes that these costs are customary charges made to other firm clients in the
ordinary course of its billing practice.
12. In accordance with the factors enumerated in section 330 of the
Bankruptcy Code, it is respectfully submitted that the amount requested is fair and reasonable
given (a) the complexity of the case, (b) the time expended, (c) the nature and the extent of the
services rendered, (d) the value of such services, and (e) the costs of comparable services other
than in a case under the Bankruptcy Code. Moreover, Applicant has reviewed the requirements
of Del. Bankr. LR 2016 and the Administrative Order and believes that this Application complies
with such Rule and Order.
WHEREFORE, your Applicant respectfully requests, for the period February 1,
2010 through February 28, 2010, an interim allowance be made for compensation in the amount
of$3,143.00 and actual and necessary expenses in the amount of$696.16 for a total allowance of
$3,839.16 and payment of$2,514.40 (80% ofthe allowed fees) and reimbursement of$696.16
(100% of the allowed expenses) be authorized for a total payment of$3,210.56 for such
