Sections 105(A) and 331 Establishing Procedures for Interim Compensation and Expense Reimbursement of Professionals and Committee Members," signed on or about April 8, 2009 (the "Administrative Order"), Pepper Hamilton LLP ("Pepper" or "Applicant"), Delaware counsel to the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors (the "Committee"), hereby submits its Twelfth Monthly Application for Compensation and Reimbursement of Expenses for the Period from February 1, 2010 through February 28,2010 (the "Application").

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. and Gotland Oil, Inc. (collectively, the "Debtors") each filed a voluntary petition for relief pursuant to Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Debtors have continued to manage their businesses and properties as debtors-in-possession pursuant to Sections 1107(a) and 1108 of the Bankruptcy Code. 2. On March 19, 2009 (the "Committee Formation Date"), the United States Trustee appointed the Committee to represent the unsecured creditors ofthe Debtors pursuant to 11 U.S.C. 11 02(a)(l). 3. Pursuant to Section 1103 of the Code, the Committee selected Pepper Hamilton LLP to serve as Delaware counsel for the Committee. On April 14, 2009, the Committee filed an application with this Court for approval to employ Pepper Hamilton LLP. 4. On April 29, 2009, this Court entered an Order authorizing the Committee to employ Pepper Hamilton LLP as Delaware counsel for the Committee, effective as of March 19,2009, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A. 5. On April 8, 2009, the Administrative Order Establishing Procedures for Allowance and Payment of Interim Compensation and Reimbursement of Expenses to 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. -3 #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 includes time spent by Applicant reviewing hearing agenda and communicating with counsel re same. (e) Fees (Total hours: 9.70, total fees $1,621.50) This category includes time spent by Applicant drqfting andfiling third interim fee application, drafting andfiling certificate ofno objection re previous fee application, drafting andfiling ofJanuary 2010 fee application and related tasks. (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 applications ofco-counsel and efiling ofco-counsel's monthly fee application. (g) Plan and Disclosure Statement Total hours: .20, total fees $122.00) This category includes time spent by Applicant communicating with counsel re plan and related status. 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 -5 #10922474 vl2 other and further relief as this Court may deem just and proper.
