By this Application, WHS seeks that this Honorable Court award it reasonable compensation for professional legal services rendered as fee auditor for the estates of Pacific Energy Resources Ltd., et al.

In support of its Application, WHS respectfully states as follows:
Background 1. On March 9, 2009, the Debtors filed voluntary petitions in this Court for relief under
Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code (the "Code"), 11 U.S.C. '' 101 et. seq., as amended. The Debtors continued in possession of their assets and were authorized to operate and manage their respective businesses pursuant to Bankruptcy Code '' 1107 and 1108. 2. On July 13, 2009, this Court signed the Fee Auditor Order, approving the retention of
WHS as fee auditor for the Debtors. The Fee Auditor Order authorized WHS to be compensated: the lesser of (a) the ordinary hourly rate of the Fee Auditor for services of this nature or (b) 1% of the aggregate Applicant billings (fees and expenses) reviewed by the Fee Auditor that are subject to this Order over the life of these Chapter 11 Cases. Compensation Paid and its Source 3. All services for which compensation is requested by WHS were performed for or
on behalf of the bankruptcy estate and the Debtors and not on behalf of any committee, creditor or other person. 4. Other than interim payments from the Debtors set forth in the notice, above, WHS
has received no payment or promise for payment from any source for services rendered or to be rendered in any capacity whatsoever in connection with these cases, and there is no agreement or understanding between WHS and any other person other than members of the firm for the sharing of compensation to be received for services rendered in these cases. Summary of Services 5. Attached hereto as Exhibit B are WHS=s billing statements for the Interim Period.
These statements contain detailed daily time logs describing the time expended by each attorney and para-professional for the Interim Period. 6. To the best of WHS=s knowledge, this Application complies with sections 330 and
331 of the Bankruptcy Code, the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure, the Guidelines adopted by the Office of thee United State Trustee, Local Rule 2016-2 of the Local Rules of the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware, Amended Effective February 1, 2001, and the Administrative Order. 7. During the Interim Period, WHS spent 13 hours of time for $3,143.00 in fees
seeking its own compensation. The professionals of WHS whom have rendered professional services to the Debtors in these cases during the Interim Period are Warren H. Smith, Jennifer Garner, Bobbi Ruhlander and Mark Steirer. The para-professionals of WHS whom have rendered professional services to the Debtors in these cases during the Interim Period are James Wehrmann, Doreen Williams, Alexa L. Parnell, Anthony Lopez, and Melanie White. Disbursements 8. WHS has incurred $553.54 in disbursements for the Interim Period for copies,
postage, long distance, travel expenses, Pacer research and third party copies and document mailing expenses. Valuation of Services 9. The rates charged by each professional during the Interim Period are set forth in
Exhibit A. These rates are equal to or below WHS's normal hourly rates of compensation for work of this character. Attorneys and para-professionals of WHS have expended a total of 192.70 hours in connection with this matter during the Interim Period. The reasonable value of the services rendered by WHS for the Interim Period in these cases under Chapter 11 is $35,826.25. 10. In accordance with the factors enumerated in 11 U.S.C. ' 330, the amount of fees and
expenses requested by WHS is fair and reasonable given (a) the complexity of these cases, (b) the time expended, (c) the nature and extent of the services rendered, (d) the value of such services, and (e) the costs of comparable services other than in a case under this title. Moreover, WHS has
reviewed the requirements of Local Rule 2016-2 of the Local Rules of the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware, Amended Effective February 1, 2001, and believes that this application complies with that rule.
