The time period covered is January through December of 2022. Information included is as follows: •Production and Injection Volumes and Voidage balance by month •Analysis of reservoir pressure surveys and trends •Data on Minimum Miscibility Pressure (MMP) of injected miscible gas •Progress of the enhanced recovery projects, including the gas cap water injection project The Annual Reservoir Properties Report-Prudhoe and Put River Oil Pools is being submitted under cover of this report as Exhibit 6. (AK 20 AAC 25.270). The Excel version is also being submitted electronically to aogcc.reporting@alaska.gov. A report of completed development or service wells that have been shut-in for 365 days or longer as of January 1,2022,will be separately filed with the Commission by March 31,2022, in accordance with 20 AAC 25.115. 2.0 OVERVIEW IPA Prudhoe Bay (Permo-Triassic) Reservoir development began in 1968 with the Prudhoe Bay State No. 1 exploratory well. Regular production began in June 1977. Produced water injection began in June 1977, and large-scale water flood for secondary recovery was installed in August 1984.In June 1987,the Prudhoe Bay Miscible Gas Project (PBMGP) was established. In 2002,Gas Cap Water Injection (GCWI) began, with the goal of stabilizing reservoir pressure.Most recently, implementation of the Seawater Optimization Plan (SWOP) in 2020 at Flow Station 1 ceased water injection in a portion of the Prudhoe Bay Waterflood Project. During the report period of January through December 2022,Prudhoe Oil Pool production averaged 156.5 MBOD,7769 MMSCFD (GOR 49,642 SCF/STB),and 1250 MBWD (water-cut 88.87%).Overall injection during this period averaged 1,975 MBWD with 147.7 MMSCFD of miscible gas injection.825 Wells contributed to production and 213 wells contributed to injection.

Note –Exhibit 2 does not include aquifer influx as we cannot directly measure this. However,the full field model and water sample data suggest there has been some amount of aquifer influx over time. 3.0 PRESSURE UPDATE Exhibit 3-D (Form 10-412) provides pressure, buildup, and falloff data collected in 2022 at a datum of 8,800 ft, subsea used for the Ivishak Formation. During 2022,per CO 341I, as modified by the Commission on July 20, 2016, use of calculated BHP’s from surface data in injectors are permitted. All of these new data are listed in Exhibit 3-D as “FL”.However, the fluid level calculated pressures have been excluded from the pressure calculation and map, as it has been observed that the fluid level pressures are more subject to error. Previous years have been corrected with this change in the pressure calculation. Exhibit 3-A provides spatial analysis of pressure static, buildup, and falloff data that was collected from 2020 through 2022 at a datum of 8,800 ft, subsea for the Ivishak Formation.This map shows an elevated pressure in the gas cap area as a function of GCWI. As shown in Exhibit 3-B, the historic pressure decline appears to have stabilized due to gas-cap water injection. No significant pressure increase has been observed, though with increased gas cap water injection volumes and the commencement of PAVE in the end of 2023, we expect to see an increase in 2023/2024.For 2022, average pressure in the PBMGP project areas using three years of pressure static measurements was calculated to be 3312 psia by areal weighting, as compared to 3331 psia in 2021.The GD area pressure decreased 4 psi from 3275 psia in 2022 to 3271 psia in 2021 (Exhibit 3-B).Observed slight decreases in pressure appear to be related to statistical variability and sampling locations, as field voidage replacement ratio was 1.05 in 2022 (not including any potential aquifer influx). 2022 ANNUAL RESERVOIR SURVEILLANCE REPORT PRUDHOE BAY AND PUT RIVER OIL POOLS 6 4.0 MISCIBLE INJECTANT (MI) AOGCC Conservation Order No. 341I,Rule 12 (c) specifies that “The minimum miscibility pressure (MMP) of the Miscible Injectant must be maintained at least 100 psi below the average reservoir pressure in the Prudhoe Bay Miscible Project area. When the Operator demonstrates that the reservoir pressure is no longer declining within the Prudhoe Bay Miscible Project Area (as evidenced by reservoir pressure measurements), the MMP may be maintained at or below the average reservoir pressure in the Prudhoe Bay Miscible Project area.” As MMP became the constraint on NGL production in the winter of 2018, and the reservoir pressure has stabilized with the gas cap water injection project, the MMP limit was increased from 3150 psi to 3200 psi in March of 2019 and further increased to 3300 psi early 2022. Although the PBMGP average pressure is still slightly above MMP overall, we will discuss the benefits of decreasing MMP to 3250 psi, as the average pressure in the MIST and UZI areas appear to be closer to 3250 psi.No degradation in MI utilization has been observed in either of these areas in 2022. There are two MI analyzers at Prudhoe Bay CGF (4901 and 4951). Analyzer 4951 is installed at the suction side of the MI compressors and analyzer 4901 is installed at the discharge side of the compressors downstream of the lean gas back blend. Analyzer 4901 was out of calibration from June to September 2020. However, it was repaired in October 2020 and has been functioning normally since then. The compositional data reported in Exhibit 4 are the monthly average values of analyzer 4901 data. The compositions from the analyzers are used to calculate real time MMP at CGF. The MMP data reported in Exhibit 4 are the monthly averages based on the daily average MMP calculated at the discharge side of the MI compressors. Engineering judgement is applied to remove some poor data with extremely high or low values. 5.0 PROJECT SUMMARIES 5.1 SWOP On March 5, 2020,the Commission approved the Seawater Optimization Project (SWOP) which was implemented in the 2020 plan year in DS-1 and DS-12 of the Eastern Peripheral Wedge Zone (EPWZ)of the waterflood at these pads.The Commission specified the following two conditions: Condition 1 states that BPXA is required to include in the Annual Reservoir Surveillance report for the POP and PROP: “a detailed description of the progress towards returning the PROP to production”.Condition 2 states that the ASR is to also include “the evaluation of the potential to improve ultimate recovery by ceasing water injection elsewhere in the POP”. The SWOP project was implemented August 2020;a description of the Put River Oil Pool plan is included in section 6.3 of this report.A preferred PAVE implementation plan was selected in 2022 for implementation beginning in 2023. This would redistribute up to 300 MBWPD of 2022 ANNUAL RESERVOIR SURVEILLANCE REPORT PRUDHOE BAY AND PUT RIVER OIL POOLS 7 produced water from disposal/waterflood injection for reinjection into the gas cap. 5.2 Gas Cap Water Injection Project Details of the volume of water injected into the Gas Cap during 2022 are shown below; units in thousands of barrels of seawater injected per month (MBWPM): Month Total GCWI Volume (MBWPM) 1/2022 25,139 2/2022 22,714 3/2022 25,273 4/2022 24,264 5/2022 25,078 6/2022 24,085 7/2022 25,000 8/2022 15,056 9/2022 20,997 10/2022 24,296 11/2022 24,774 12/2022 24,122 The 2022 volume of sea water injected in the PSI wells was 281 million barrels. The cumulative volume injected at the end of 2022 was 3.6 billion barrels of sea water since the project startup in 2002. 2022 ANNUAL RESERVOIR SURVEILLANCE REPORT PRUDHOE BAY AND PUT RIVER OIL POOLS 8 5.2.1 GCWI Surveillance Pulsed neutron logs (RPM,RMT, etc) run in offset producers continue to be the primary method of monitoring water movement from the Gas Cap Water Injection project. Many of these wells have had several repeat logs since injection began. By comparing the latest neutron logs with the baseline and previous logs, the presence of injected water can be readily observed. This procedure has provided a very clear picture of water in the Ivishak Formation and allows the monitoring of vertical and lateral movement of the waterfront. Exhibit 5 is the locator map for the GCWI area and shows the PSI injectors along with the observation wells.The pink polygon indicates the interpreted current GCWI waterfront, which has very minimal change since 2018. The most recent acquired neutron surveillance logs include:05-30, 15-07D, L1-13, and L5-21. Surveillance wells for 2022 saturation monitoring were chosen at the northeastern, southern, and western boundaries of the waterfront to provide sufficient coverage to monitor GCW extent, as well as better refine understanding of the water movement into the producing zones 1A and 1B. Based on surveillance log results, no discernible GCW is observed in 15-07D and L1-13. The results from L5-21 are inconclusive but may suggest that water is present in Z1A –Z1B. For the interim, we show the extent of the GCW to be directly south of L5-21, but this will need to be reevaluated in the future. Many wells in the DS18 area are producing GCW. Understanding the water pathway to Zone 1, the oil-bearing interval in this far up-structure area of the field, is a continued focus for future logging and analysis.This continued focus will require integrating production and cased-hole log evidence to define water migration.Future surveillance will continue to include repeat neutron logs for monitoring the maximum lateral extent of the flood front and monitoring water movement within each zone,specifically in the producing Zone 1. No DS18 wells started producing GCW for the first time in 2022. 5.2.2 2023 Surveillance Plans GCWI Injectors Injection pressures, rates, and temperatures are recorded for each well every day.Pressure-rate plots will be routinely monitored for changes in injectivity of the wells. Observation Well Cased Hole Saturation Logs This program will continue as it has in the past by running cased hole saturation logs every year with the final timing and locations determined based on the results to date. Gravity Survey A gravity survey is planned to be conducted in 2023. 2022 ANNUAL RESERVOIR SURVEILLANCE REPORT PRUDHOE BAY AND PUT RIVER OIL POOLS 9 5.2.3 Plans for Change in Project Operation None 2022 ANNUAL RESERVOIR SURVEILLANCE REPORT PRUDHOE BAY AND PUT RIVER OIL POOLS 10 5.3 Put River Oil Pool On November 22, 2005,the AOGCC ruled in Conservation Order 559 that the Western, Central and Southern Lobes of hydrocarbon bearing Put River sands would be defined as the Put River Pool and that the Northern Lobe would be included in the Prudhoe Oil Pool.Exhibit 7 displays all four lobes which are in pressure isolation from each other. Additional technical information was previously supplied with the application which led to Conservation Order 559. On December 19, 2019, the AOGCC granted BPXA’s request to: (1) to administratively amend Conservation Order 559A to contract the Put River Oil Pool (PROP) to the area encompassed by the Southern Lobe of the Put River sandstone; (2) to modify rule 18 of CO341H to ensure that the downhole commingling ruled authorization that currently allows downhole commingling of any well in the PROP with the Prudhoe Oil Pool will continue to apply to wells completed within the currently established bounds of the PROP when the affected area of the PROP is contracted; and (3) a gas oil ratio exemption to wells completed in the Central and Western lobes of the Put River sandstone for the purposes of collecting data to develop a reservoir development strategy for those sands in accordance with 20 AAC 25.240(b)(3). 2022 Production and Injection For the year 2022,all the production was from well 15-41B which has perforations in the Western and Central lobes. Production from the Put River Oil Pool in 2022 averaged 41 BOPD averaged across calendar days. There was no injection in the Southern Lobe of the Put River in 2021. Cumulative Put River water injection is 14.1 MMBW.All Put River Southern Lobe injection has been from well 01-08A. 01- 08A was shut-in in August 2020 and remains shut-in due to the execution of the SWOP project. As a result of the injector shut-in, the Put River Southern Lobe producer 02-27A was also shut-in. The 2022 cumulative production for the Put River Oil Pool was 15 MBO,0.7 MBW and approximately 523 MMSCF formation gas. The full life cumulative production for the Put River Oil Pool through December 31,2022,was 4.3 MMBO, 9.2 MMBW, and approximately 9.9 BSCF formation gas.(Note that these cumulative volumes include a technical estimate, based on material balance calculations, of Southern lobe production from a casing leak in 02-27 between 1994-1997. The cumulative gas volume reported in this report is reflective of the best technical estimate of the formation gas production from the PROP; the volume reported in previous ASRs may differ due to accounting for the estimated casing leak volumes and gas lift volumes.)

We will continue to consider the feasibility of alternative sources of injection water to satisfy voidage replacement requirements needed to resume production from the PROP. In the meantime, while we evaluate our options, we will continue to monitor the reservoir by obtaining a static bottom hole pressure or fluid level in one of our three Put River Southern Lobe wells in 2023 to observe the pressure behavior during the shut-in period. For this report,the reservoir properties in Exhibit 6 for the PROP pertain to the Southern lobe only. 2022 Pressures The PROP Southern Lobe pressure obtained in injector 01-08A on 7/7/2022 measured 3,653 PSI at -8,100’ SSTVD. 2022 ANNUAL RESERVOIR SURVEILLANCE REPORT PRUDHOE BAY AND PUT RIVER OIL POOLS 12 2023 Surveillance Plan PROP affected area (Southern Lobe)–A static bottom hole pressure or fluid level survey is planned in 2023 for producer 02-23A, producer 02-27A, or injector 01-08A to observe the pressure behavior in the Put River Southern Lobe. 6.0 Review of Pool Production Allocation Factors Prudhoe Oil Pool (POP) and Put River Oil Pools Monthly Average Oil Allocation Factors: 2022 Oil Allocation Factor Jan 0.92 Feb 0.92 Mar 0.89 Apr 0.91 May 0.92 Jun 0.93 Jul 0.96 Aug 0.92 Sep 0.93 Oct 0.92 Nov 0.93 Dec 0.94 The table contains monthly averages of oil allocation factors from the 7 facilities that receive production from these two pools: GC-1 (POP only), GC-2 (POP only), GC-3 (POP only), FS-1 (POP & PUT), FS-2 (POP only), FS-3 (POP only)LPC (POP only).Any days of allocation factors of zero were excluded.Daily allocation data and daily test data are being retained. 2022 ANNUAL RESERVOIR SURVEILLANCE REPORT PRUDHOE BAY AND PUT RIVER OIL POOLS 13 Exhibit 1-A Prudhoe Bay Unit Map 2022 ANNUAL RESERVOIR SURVEILLANCE REPORT PRUDHOE BAY AND PUT RIVER OIL POOLS 14 Exhibit 2 Fieldwide Reservoir Balance MonthOil, MRBWater,MRBFree Gas,MRBTotalVoidage,MRBYear Cum,MRBCum Since Start-Up, MRBWaterInjection,MRBMiscibleGasInjection,MRBLean GasInjection,MRBTotalInjection,MRBYear Cum,MRBCum SinceStart-Up,MRBNetInjection,MRBYearCum,MRBCum SinceStart-Up, MRBJan-226,71739,690214,969261,377261,377101,532,41363,3013,414195,782262,497262,49789,807,0901,1201,120(11,725,323)Feb-226,14336,947196,928240,018501,394101,772,43057,2143,281179,906240,402502,89990,047,4923841,505(11,724,938)Mar-226,68740,923209,678257,287758,682102,029,71864,5023,517191,041259,059761,95890,306,5511,7723,277(11,723,166)Apr-226,36839,245196,488242,1001,000,782102,271,81863,5782,775178,848245,2001,007,15890,551,7523,1006,377(11,720,066)May-226,45140,015195,175241,6421,242,424102,513,46065,9983,227178,325247,5501,254,70890,799,3015,90712,284(11,714,159)Jun-225,54434,169173,957213,6701,456,094102,727,13059,0772,406159,937221,4201,476,12991,020,7227,75120,035(11,706,408)Jul-226,04540,487185,677232,2091,688,303102,959,33965,9632,828173,154241,9451,718,07491,262,6679,73629,771(11,696,672)Aug-225,97039,184179,119224,2731,912,576103,183,61253,9612,949166,409223,3191,941,39391,485,986(954)28,817(11,697,626)Sep-225,83337,372183,461226,6662,139,242103,410,27958,1923,214168,988230,3942,171,78691,716,3803,72732,544(11,693,899)Oct-226,15339,989192,198238,3392,377,582103,648,61863,7253,267177,220244,2122,415,99891,960,5915,87238,416(11,688,027)Nov-226,31741,542204,647252,5062,630,088103,901,12464,7093,455188,773256,9372,672,93692,217,5294,43142,847(11,683,596)Dec-226,58042,528216,268265,3752,895,464104,166,50065,7723,407199,442268,6212,941,55792,486,1503,24646,093(11,680,350)2022 Totals74,807472,0922,348,5652,895,464745,99337,7392,157,8252,941,55746,093(140,454,231)2022 VRR1.02Cum.

Starting with the 2009 report, since the field pressure has stabilized, pressure points from a rolling three-year period were used to construct the pressure map so as to reduce the statistical variation induced by changing year-to-year well sets. Exhibit 3-A illustrates the 2022 pressure map using 2020 through 2022 data points.Fluid level data points have been removed from the analysis this year, as they appeared to introduce too much error. Using the three-year rolling technique improves the statistical validity of the pressure distribution since it roughly triples the number of data points employed versus only using the current year static pressures. As in the past, abnormal pressures, such as pressures taken in fault compartments and in the Sag River Formation have been removed. For this report, as in the past, pressures taken in fault compartments, the Sag River Formation, and in Zone 1 of the G-Pad LPA (Low Pressure Area), which don’t appear to be in good communication with the rest of the reservoir, have been excluded from Exhibit 3-A. Also excluded were wells shut-in less than a week that had not stabilized as compared to offsetting statics. Other wells completed in Zone 1 and Zone 4B, which are in poor communication with the rest of the reservoir and therefore have lower pressures, were still included in the map and calculations if their shut-in times were deemed long enough.Unless otherwise noted, all pressure calculations are areally weighted, bound by the main field original 50' LOC contour, and are referenced to a pressure datum of 8,800' SS. 2022 ANNUAL RESERVOIR SURVEILLANCE REPORT PRUDHOE BAY AND PUT RIVER OIL POOLS 19 Exhibit 3-D Pressure Surveys (Form 10-412) 2022 ANNUAL RESERVOIR SURVEILLANCE REPORT PRUDHOE BAY AND PUT RIVER OIL POOLS 20 Exhibit 4 MI Composition EOAMI RateMMPMWAverage Monthly Mole%MCFDPSIMol WtCO2C1 + N2C2C3IC4NC4C5+1/1/2022130,4283,27932.3521.27%32.18%20.62%24.60%1.03%0.31%0.00%2/1/2022136,6083,26932.2020.62%32.95%20.32%24.55%1.10%0.46%0.00%3/1/2022132,8533,37732.1420.71%33.15%20.21%24.55%1.07%0.32%0.00%4/1/2022110,0133,32432.2320.81%32.84%20.27%24.60%1.11%0.37%0.00%5/1/2022124,2643,30032.0620.46%33.97%19.78%23.77%1.31%0.71%0.00%6/1/202286,8423,30732.1019.99%34.15%19.57%23.81%1.38%1.10%0.00%7/1/2022109,8803,14632.3819.55%33.78%19.36%23.79%1.54%1.98%0.00%8/1/2022104,5103,24332.0919.36%34.49%19.23%24.16%1.42%1.34%0.00%9/1/2022113,0753,30132.1320.69%33.71%19.90%23.53%1.20%0.97%0.00%10/1/2022104,4983,28832.1621.07%33.02%20.35%24.12%0.99%0.45%0.00%11/1/2022113,4483,30732.1621.45%32.69%20.62%24.17%0.80%0.27%0.00%12/1/2022105,1723,30032.1021.47%32.73%20.67%24.34%0.64%0.16%0.00%WOAMI RateMMPMWAverage Monthly Mole%MCFDPSIMol WtCO2C1 + N2C2C3IC4NC4C5+1/1/2022151,2723,28032.3621.31%32.11%20.63%24.62%1.03%0.31%0.00%2/1/2022145,1733,26632.2220.64%32.87%20.35%24.57%1.10%0.46%0.00%3/1/2022149,7123,36832.1720.77%32.98%20.27%24.61%1.06%0.31%0.00%4/1/2022154,6573,24632.2420.83%32.77%20.29%24.63%1.11%0.37%0.00%5/1/2022160,8933,28032.1120.52%33.75%19.83%23.87%1.32%0.71%0.00%6/1/2022135,2273,25432.1419.98%33.99%19.61%23.92%1.39%1.11%0.00%7/1/2022124,7353,21832.2819.37%34.19%19.18%23.82%1.53%1.91%0.00%8/1/2022139,6623,23932.1319.40%34.31%19.29%24.24%1.42%1.34%0.00%9/1/2022139,6593,29732.1720.73%33.57%19.92%23.61%1.20%0.96%0.00%10/1/2022132,2823,28232.2021.15%32.84%20.39%24.17%0.99%0.45%0.00%11/1/2022145,4293,29732.1421.44%32.77%20.60%24.12%0.80%0.27%0.00%12/1/2022156,3623,29932.0821.49%32.83%20.65%24.19%0.64%0.20%0.00% 2022 ANNUAL RESERVOIR SURVEILLANCE REPORT PRUDHOE BAY AND PUT RIVER OIL POOLS 21 Exhibit 5 GCWI Surveillance and Extent 2022 2022 ANNUAL RESERVOIR SURVEILLANCE REPORT PRUDHOE BAY AND PUT RIVER OIL POOLS 22 Exhibit 6 Annual Reservoir Properties Report-Prudhoe and Put River Oil Pools (AK 20 AAC 25.270) 2022 ANNUAL RESERVOIR SURVEILLANCE REPORT PRUDHOE BAY AND PUT RIVER OIL POOLS 23 Exhibit 7 Put River Sandstone Distribution 3800 Centerpoint Drive, Suite 1400, Anchorage, AK 99503 Phone: 907/777-8300 hilcorp.com Hilcorp North Slope, LLC May 10, 2023 Brett Huber, Sr., Chair Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission 333 West 7th Avenue, Suite 100 Anchorage, AK 99501 RE: Prudhoe Bay Unit, Prudhoe and Put River Oil Pools Addendum to Annual Reservoir Surveillance Report for Water and Miscible Gas Floods January 1, 2022 – December 31, 2022 Chairman Huber, Hilcorp North Slope, LLC, (Hilcorp) as operator of the Prudhoe Bay Unit, submits the enclosed Addendum to the Annual Reservoir Surveillance Reports for the Prudhoe Bay Waterflood Project, Miscible Gas Project, Gas Cap Water Injection Project, Field Gravity Drainage Area and Put River Oil Pool in accordance with Conservation Orders 341C (originally CO 279), 341D, 341F.007, 341I, and 559A that were submitted on March 31, 2023. The addendum is section 5.4 under the “5.0 Project Summaries” portion of the report. 5.4 N2 Foam Treatment Program Foam was pumped as a fullbore treatment on three producing wells: C-10B, E-24B, and C-22A. The foam consisted of nitrogen and a 0.5% solution of surfactant in water, mixed at the surface, and co-injected at matrix rates (below fracture pressure) into all open perforations in the Ivishak formation. The chemical compatibility of the foaming surfactant with the reservoir rock and Ivishak oil was confirmed prior to pumping via laboratory testing and corefloods at The University of Texas at Austin. The wells were flowed back and tested frequently to assess the GOR suppression effect from high-viscosity foam temporarily blocking gas in the near-wellbore region of the reservoir. Foam treatments have improved GOR and incremental oil rate for a period of over one month to just under four months, after which period the foam has broken down completely and has been produced back to surface. We have not observed any formation damage from pumping foam and have been monitoring well productivity closely throughout flowback. A preliminary step prior to foam treatment was pumping varying volumes of water into the same wells, up to four times. This helped us to determine how much foam to pump, as well as confirmed the technical concept of pumping a fluid more viscous than gas to temporarily block gas production and flowback at a lower GOR. Water GOR suppression effects are more temporary than foam’s: GOR and incremental oil rate were improved for a period of about a week to ten days. Hilcorp intends to continue to pursue both water and foam treatments as part of a pilot program investigating the ability to improve the on-time and incremental oil rate of low-value cycle wells in the Gravity Drainage area of the IPA.
