What about a Noder b'Eis Tzarah (see Tosfos Chulin 2b DH Aval Amar, cited
in YD 203:5)?

The Kollel writes:

As Reb Yitzchok commented, Yakov asked Hashem to protect him in the house
of Lavan, vowing that if Hashem protects him he will "make this place a
Beis Hashem", and offer a Nesech in gratitude. That would seem to qualify
as petitionary. A similar vow was taken by the Jewish Nation when they were
attacked by Amalek (in the end of Parashas Chukas). They pledged that if
Hashem helps them to win the war they will offer all of the booty to
Hekdesh (= Korbanos), see Rashi Bamidbar 21:2. See also Nazir 10a, Nedarim
28a, where a person makes an object Hekdesh in prayer that Hashem grant his
wish about that object.

I would think that the Se'ir la'Azazel is of the same category as the
"Selach Lanu" prayer, in which we ask Hashem for forgiveness. The Se'ir is
a way of requesting that Hashem forgive all of our sins. For that matter,
every Korban Chatas is like that; we are beseeching Hashem to forgive our sins.
