$3,159.90 for a total allowance of $22,204.40 and payment of $15,235.60 (80% of the allowed fees) and reimbursement of $3,159.90 (100% of the allowed expenses) for a total payment of $18,395.50 for the period of May 1, 2009 through May 31, 2009 (the Monthly Period). In support hereof, Deloitte FAS respectfully represents the follows: BACKGROUND 1. On March 8, 2009 (the Petition Date), the Debtors filed voluntary petitions for

relief under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. On March 12, 2009, PERL filed a concomitant petition for relief in Canada (the Canadian Proceeding) under the Companies Creditors Arrangement Act (the CCAA). On March 12, 2009, the Supreme Court of British Columbia entered an order which recognized the Chapter 11 cases as a foreign proceeding under the CCAA. 2. The Debtors continue in possession of their properties and continue to operate and

manage their businesses as debtors-in-possession pursuant to 1107(a) and 1108 of the Bankruptcy Code. On or about March 19, 2009, an official committee of unsecured creditors (the Committee) was appointed to this case. 3. The Court has jurisdiction over this matter pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 157 and

1334. This is a core proceeding pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 157(b)(2). 4. Pursuant to the procedures set forth in the Administrative Order, professionals

may request monthly compensation and reimbursement, and the Notice Parties (as defined in the Administrative Order) may make objections to such requests. If an objection to a professionals request is not filed and served within twenty (20) days after service of the monthly fee application, the Professional may file a certificate of no objection, after which the Debtors are authorized to pay the Professional eighty percent (80%) of the requested fees and one hundred

-2-

percent 100% of the requested expenses. 5. Furthermore, the Administrative Order provides that professionals are to file and

serve an interim application for the allowance of the amounts sought in its monthly fee applications for that period. All fees and expense are paid on an interim basis until final allowance by the Court. RETENTION OF DELOITTE FAS 6. The retention of Deloitte FAS, as financial advisors to the Official Committee of

Unsecured Creditors, was approved effective March 26, 2009 by this Courts Order Pursuant to 11 U.S.C. 327(A) and Fed. R. Bankr. P. 2014(A), 2016, and 5002 Authorizing the Employment and Retention of Deloitte Financial Advisory Services LLP as Financial Advisors to the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors entered on or about June 3, 2009 (the Retention Order). The Retention Order authorized the Committee to employ Deloitte FAS pursuant to an Engagement Letter (the Engagement Letter), dated April 7, 2009, between Deloitte FAS and the Committee. Pursuant to the Retention Order, Deloitte FAS was authorized to perform and to be compensated for professional services and reimbursed for actual and necessary expenses incurred on behalf of the Committee, subject to application to this Court as set forth therein. REQUESTED FEES AND REIMBURSEMENT OF EXPENSES 7. All services for which Deloitte FAS requests compensation were performed for or

on behalf of the Committee. Deloitte FAS has received no payment and no promises for payment from any source for services rendered or to be rendered in any capacity whatsoever in connection with the matters covered by this Monthly Fee Application. There is no agreement or understanding between Deloitte FAS and any nonaffiliated person for the sharing of compensation to be received for services rendered in these cases. Deloitte FAS received no

-3-

retainer for the services rendered in these cases. 8. Pursuant to the Engagement Letter, it was established that the compensation of

Deloitte FAS shall be presently based on the following hourly rate charges by professional classification, as follows: Professional Staff Level Partner/Principal/Director Senior Manager Manager Senior Associate Associate 9. Hourly Rate $575 $525 $450 $375 $295

In addition to professional fees, Deloitte FASs monthly fee applications will

include requests for reimbursement of reasonable expenses, including travel, meals, report production, and other costs incurred in providing the services. As a component of such monthly fee applications, Deloitte FAS will provide descriptions of the services performed, and the related time expended by each professional. 10. The services rendered by Deloitte FAS during the Monthly Fee Application can

be grouped into categories set forth below. Deloitte FAS attempted to place the services provided in
the category that best related to such services. However, because certain services may relate to one or more categories, services pertaining to one category may in fact be included in another category. These services performed, by categories, are generally described below, with a more detail identification of the actual services provided set forth on the attached Exhibit A. Exhibit A identifies the professional and paraprofessionals who rendered services relating to each category, along with the number of hours for each individual and the total compensation sought for each category. To the best of Deloitte FASs

knowledge, this Monthly Fee Application substantially complies with sections 330 and 331 of the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules and the Administrative Order. 11. A summary of actual and necessary expenses incurred by Deloitte FAS for the

-4-

Interim Period is attached hereto as part of Exhibit B. Deloitte FAS does not charge for photocopying, out-going facsimile transmissions, or long distance telephone calls on faxes. Deloitte FAS does not charge the Debtors for the receipt of faxes. Deloitte FAS customarily charges for conference call charge expenses. SUMMARY DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES PERFORMED 12. This Monthly Fee Application covers the period May 1, 2009 through and

including May 31, 2009. Deloitte FAS has and may continue to perform additional necessary services subsequent to May 31, 2009, for which Deloitte FAS will file subsequent fee applications. 13. Deloitte FAS believes it appropriate to be compensated for the time spent in

connection with these matters, and sets forth a brief narrative description of the services rendered for or on behalf of the Committee and the time expended, organized by project task categories, as follows: A. 14. Category 24 DIP Facility Matters During the Monthly Period, the Applicant performed detailed analysis in support

of the DIP objection filed by committee legal counsel. The analysis of the DIP served to reduce the amount of fees to be paid by the debtor as a result of the roll-up and also provided for some arguments against various other terms with the intent of increasing the unsecured creditors recoveries. The supporting analysis included benchmarking of recent DIPs to determine

appropriateness of the Pacific Energy DIP pricing and terms. For this analysis Deloitte gathered all of the recent DIPs available and then filtered and analyzed the interest rates, facilities fees, commitment fees, and other related terms and compared them with the Pacific Energy DIP. In addition, Deloitte analyzed all of the pre-petition debt including both debt that is being rolled

-5-

into the DIP and also the second lien to understand all of the transactions associated with those facilities historically and their relevance to this case. In analyzing the roll-up itself, Deloitte analyzed the make-whole payment, conversion fee payment, interest calculations, paid-in-kind interest accrued, DIP operating budget including underlying assumptions, and provided conclusions on the appropriateness of these fees. In drafting the declaration and supporting schedules, Deloitte also analyzed the impact of the fees and interest related to the DIP roll-up versus the fees and interest that would have accrued without the DIP roll-up to illustrate how this arrangement was to the detriment of the unsecured creditors. Deloitte FAS seeks compensation for 28.5 hours of reasonable and necessary fees incurred in the total amount of $14,882.50. B. 15. Category 50 Meetings/Calls with Counsel During the Monthly Period, the Applicant discussed various calls with committee

legal counsel to discuss the case issues and related matters including various analysis in support of the DIP objection, financing, oil and gas reserves, and to provide updates on our progress. Deloitte FAS seeks compensation for 0.7 hours of reasonable and necessary fees incurred in the total amount of $387.50. C. 16. Category 61 Meetings/Calls with Debtor During the Monthly Period, Deloitte met with members of the Debtors

management team as well as Chief Restructuring Officer firm Zolfo Cooper. Deloitte discussed debt facilities and analysis, Alaska and Beta assets and reserves, earn-out payments, makewhole payments and conversion fees. These meetings and calls formed the basis for the

understanding of the DIP budget as much of the underlying assumptions and back-up was not available through court filings. Deloitte FAS seeks compensation for 5.3 hours of reasonable and necessary fees incurred in the total amount of $2,565.00.

-6-

E. 17.

Category 68 - Fee/Expense Applications Staff for Applicant assisted in the preparation of data to be used in creation of

monthly fee application, to be distributed to all parties in interest. These fees are less than one percent of total amount of fees and expenses invoiced as many of the hours spent in connection with the preparation of this fee statement were incurred in June and will be reflected in the next interim fee statement. Deloitte FAS seeks compensation for 4.1 hours of reasonable and necessary fees incurred in the total amount of $1,209.50. These fees are less than one percent of total amount of fees and expenses invoiced. 18. The nature of work performed by these persons is fully set forth in Exhibit A

attached hereto. These are typical hourly rates for work of this character. The reasonable value of the services rendered by Deloitte FAS for the Debtors during the Monthly Period is $19,044.50. REQUESTED COMPENSATION SHOULD BE ALLOWED 19. In determining the amount of reasonable compensation to be awarded, the Court

shall consider, pursuant to 11 U.S.C. 330(a)(3), the nature, extent, and the value of such services, taking into account all relevant factors, including: (A) the time expended on such services, (B) the billing rates for such services, (C) whether such services were beneficial or necessary to the administration of the estate, (D) the complexity of the case or the nature of the task handled by the professional, and (E) the costs of comparable professional services. See 11 U.S.C. 330(a)(3)(A)-(E). WHEREFORE, Deloitte FAS respectfully requests that, for the period May 1, 2009 through May 31, 2009, a monthly allowance be made to Deloitte FAS for compensation in the amount of $19,044.50 and actual and necessary expense in the amount of $3,159.90, and payment of $15,235.60 (80% of the allowed fees) and reimbursement of $3,159.90 (100% of the

-7-

allowed expenses) be authorized for a total payment of $18,395.50, and for such other and further relief as this Court may deem just and proper. DATED: June 23, 2009 Respectfully submitted, DELOITTE FINANCIAL ADVISORY SERVICES LLP By: Curtis A. McClam Restructuring Principal 350 South Grand Ave, Ste. 200 Los Angeles, CA 90071 Telephone: 213-688-5141
