Reservoir Review Items per CO553 Rule 4
a) Summary and analysis of reservoir pressure by major formation.
Because all of the Happy Valley wells have commingled production (from numerous sands), it is
difficult to obtain precise individual sand reservoir pressures. Estimates can be made by reviewing
pressures in wells with only one major zone open. The most recent shut-in wellhead pressures of wells
with a single primary producing zone were compared to previous surveys (to verify fluid level for
correcting to datum pressure using a gas gradient of 0.03 psi/ft) are shown below.
The resulting average reservoir pressure by major zone is shown below. Since no new static surveys
were conducted in 2022, updates for all sands are based upon the latest SITP value and assumed
pressure gradient to datum. Note these data points may not be accurate due to unknown fluid columns
but fall in line with the produced volumes.
b) Workovers & surveys of the existing wells.
a. Happy ValleyB 16A was drilled in 2022 and successfully targeted the Tyonek sands. It
had an IP of 1.2 mmscfd at 47 psig flowing tubing pressure.
b. Happy Valley A-10 add perfs. The add perfs added ~250mcfd from the Beluga sands.
