ERRATA NOTICE
The Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (AOGCC) notes that Area Injection Order
No. 26A.002 eliminated the word "water" from Rule 6 of AID 26A, however, when AIO 26B
was issued the word water was only removed from the title of the rule and not from the body of
the rule itself. This correction will be reflected in a corrected Area Injection Order No. 26B to be
issued by the AOGCC.

Dated: February 3, 2021
IT APPEARING THAT:
1. On June 30, 2009, BP Exploration (Alaska), Inc. (BPXA) requested the Alaska Oil
and Gas Conservation (Commission) grant a expansion of the area in which injection
is authorized in the Orion Oil Pool (OOP).
2. Pursuant to 20 AAC 25.540, on October 22, 2009 the Commission published in the
Anchorage Daily News notice of the opportunity for a public hearing on December 1,
2009.
3. No protest to the application or request for hearing was received.
4. Because BPXA provided sufficient information upon which to make an informed
decision, the request can be resolved without a hearing.
5. The hearing was vacated on November 18, 2009.
FINDINGS:
1. AIO 26, effective January 5, 2004 approved water injection for enhanced recovery
purposes within the OOP and set forth rules for conducting injection operations.
2. AIO 26A superseded AIO 26 effective May 1, 2006 and approved injection of
enriched hydrocarbon gas for enhanced recovery purposes.
3. This amendment action should appropriately apply to AIO 26A.
4. Coincident with entry of this action, the Commission has issued CO 505B, expanding
the OOP which finds that subsurface wireline log data, pressure measurements, and
newly reprocessed seismic data indicate that the OOP extends beyond the area
specified in CO 505A and expands the area subject to pool rules governing the
development and operation of the OOP.
5. BPXA proposes to expand water and enriched hydrocarbon gas injection operations
to include the additional area defined by CO 505B.
6. The previously issued rules governing injection within the OOP continue to be
appropriate for that pool.
AIO 26B
February 3, 2021
CONCLUSION:
Page 2
1. The area within which injection into the OOP is authorized should be expanded to
conform to the pool rules area defined by CO 505B.
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED:
Underground injection of fluids as described in BPXA's applications for AIO 26 and AID
26A is permitted subject to the conditions, limitations, and requirements established in
the rules set out below, in Conservation Order 505B and statewide requirements
contained in 20 AAC 25. The affected area of this order is:

Rule 1. Authorized Iniection Strata for Enhanced Recovery (Source AIO 26)
Fluids appropriate for enhanced oil recovery may be injected for purposes of pressure
maintenance and enhanced recovery within the Orion Development Area into strata that
are common to, and correlate with, the interval between measured depths of 4,549 feet
and 5,106 feet in the PBU V-201 well and between the measured depths of 4,174 feet
and 4,800 feet in Milne Point Unit well A-1.
Rule 2 Fluid Infection Wells (Source AIO 26)
The underground injection of fluids must be through a well that has been permitted for
drilling as a service well for injection in conformance with 20 AAC 25.005, or through a
well approved for conversion to a service well for injection in conformance with 20
AAC 25.280 and 20 AAC 25.412 (e).
Rule 3: Authorized Fluids for Enhanced Recovery (Source as indicated)
Fluids authorized for injection include:
a. enriched gas from the Prudhoe Bay Unit processing facilities (AIO 26A);
b. produced water from Prudhoe Bay Unit production facilities for the purposes of
pressure maintenance and enhanced recovery (AIO 26);
c. tracer survey fluid to monitor reservoir performance (AIO 26);
d. source water from a sea water treatment plant (AIO 26);
e. source water from the Prince Creek (Ugnu) formation (AIO 26);
f. non -hazardous filtered water collected from Schrader Bluff Oil Pool well house
cellars and well pads in the Orion Development Area (AIO 26); and
g. non -hazardous filtered lake water employed for hydrotesting pipeline segments
(AIO 26A.001).
Rule 4. Monitoring the Tubing -Casing Annulus Pressure Variations
(Source AIO 26A)
The tubing and casing annuli pressures of each injection well must be monitored at least
daily, except if prevented by extreme weather condition, emergency situations, or similar
unavoidable circumstances. Monitoring results shall be documented and made available
for Commission inspection.
Rule 5. Demonstration of Tubing -Casing Annulus Mechanical Integrity
(Source AIO 26A)
The mechanical integrity of an injection well must be demonstrated before injection
begins, and before returning a well to service following a workover affecting mechanical
integrity. A Commission -witnessed mechanical integrity test must be performed after
AIO 26B Page 4
February 3, 2021
injection is commenced for the first time in a well, to be scheduled when injection
conditions (temperature, pressure, rate, etc.) have stabilized. Subsequent tests must be
performed at least once every four years thereafter. The Commission must be notified at
least 24 hours in advance to enable a representative to witness mechanical integrity tests.
Unless an alternate means is approved by the Commission, mechanical integrity must be
demonstrated by a tubing/casing annulus pressure test using a surface pressure of 1,500
psi or 0.25 psi/ft multiplied by the vertical depth of the packer, whichever is greater, that
shows stabilizing pressure and does not change more than 10 percent during a 30 minute
period. Results of mechanical integrity tests must be readily available for Commission
inspection.
Rule 6: Multiple Completion of Infection Wells (Source AIO 26A.002)
a. Injectors may be completed to allow for injection in multiple pools within the same
wellbore so long as mechanical isolation between pools is demonstrated and
approved by the Commission.
b. Prior to initiation of commingled injection, the Commission must approve methods
for allocation of injection to the separate pools.
c. Results of logs or surveys used for determining the allocation of injected fluids
between pools, if applicable, must be supplied in the annual reservoir surveillance
report.
d. An approved injection order is required prior to commencement of injection in each
pool.
Rule 7: Well Inteerity Failure and Confinement (Source AI026A)
Whenever any pressure communication, leakage or lack of injection zone isolation is
indicated by injection rate, operating pressure observation, test, survey, log, or other
evidence, the operator shall notify the Commission by the next business day and submit
a plan of corrective action on a Form 10-403 for Commission approval. The operator
shall immediately shut in the well if continued operation would be unsafe or would
threaten contamination of freshwater, or if so directed by the Commission. A monthly
report of daily tubing and casing annuli pressures and injection rates must be provided to
the Commission for all injection wells indicating well integrity failure or lack of
injection zone isolation.
Rule 8: Notification of Improper Class II Infection (AIO 26)
Injection of fluids other than those listed in Rule 3 without prior authorization is
considered improper Class I1 injection. Upon discovery of such an event, the operator
must immediately notify the Commission, provide details of the operation, and propose
actions to prevent recurrence. Additionally, notification requirements of any other State
or Federal agency remain the operator's responsibility.
A10 26B Page 5
February 3, 2021
Rule 9: Pluning and Abandonment of Fluid Infection Wells (AID 26)
An injection well located within the affected area must not be plugged or abandoned
unless approved by the Commission in accordance with 20 AAC 25.
Rule 10: Other conditions (AID 26)
It is a condition of this authorization that the operator complies with all applicable
Commission regulations.
The Commission may suspend, revoke, or modify this authorization if injected fluids fail
to be confined within the designated injection strata.
Rule 11: Administrative Actions (AIO 26)
Unless notice and public hearing is otherwise required, the Commission may
administratively waive the requirements of any rule stated above or administratively
amend any rule as long as the change does not promote waste or jeopardize correlative
rights, is based on sound engineering and geoscience principles, and will not result in an
increased risk of fluid movement into freshwater.

Re: THE APPLICATION OF BPXA ) Docket Number: AIO-09-17
EXPLORATION (ALASKA) INC. ) Area Injection Order No. 26B Corrected
for an order expanding the area in )
which injection is authorized in the ) Prudhoe Bay Field
Orion Oil Pool, Prudhoe Bay Field, ) Schrader Bluff Oil Pool
North Slope, Alaska )
April 15, 2014
IT APPEARING THAT:
1. On June 30, 2009, BP Exploration (Alaska), Inc. (BPXA) requested the Alaska Oil and Gas
Conservation (AOGCC) grant a expansion of the area in which injection is authorized in the
Orion Oil Pool (OOP).
2. Pursuant to 20 AAC 25.540, on October 22, 2009 the AOGCC published in the Anchorage
Daily News notice of the opportunity for a public hearing on December 1, 2009.
3. No protest to the application or request for hearing was received.
4. Because BPXA provided sufficient information upon which to make an informed decision,
the request can be resolved without a hearing.
5. The hearing was vacated on November 18, 2009.
FINDINGS:
1. AIO 26, effective January 5, 2004 approved water injection for enhanced recovery purposes
within the OOP and set forth rules for conducting injection operations.
2. AIO 26A superseded AIO 26 effective May 1, 2006 and approved injection of enriched
hydrocarbon gas for enhanced recovery purposes.
3. This amendment action should appropriately apply to AIO 26A.
4. Coincident with entry of this action, the AOGCC has issued CO 505B, expanding the OOP
which finds that subsurface wireline log data, pressure measurements, and newly reprocessed
seismic data indicate that the OOP extends beyond the area specified in CO 505A and
expands the area subject to pool rules governing the development and operation of the OOP.
5. BPXA proposes to expand water and enriched hydrocarbon gas injection operations to
include the additional area defined by CO 505B.
6. The previously issued rules governing injection within the OOP continue to be appropriate
for that pool.
AIO 26B Corrected •
April 15, 2014
Page 2 of 6
CONCLUSION:
1. The area within which injection into the OOP is authorized should be expanded to conform
to the pool rules area defined by CO 505B.
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED:
Underground injection of fluids as described in BPXA's applications for AIO 26 and AIO 26A is
permitted subject to the conditions, limitations, and requirements established in the rules set out
below, in Conservation Order 505B and statewide requirements contained in 20 AAC 25. The
affected area of this order is:

Rule 1 Authorized Injection Strata for Enhanced Recovery (Source AIO 26)
Fluids appropriate for enhanced oil recovery may be injected for purposes of pressure
maintenance and enhanced recovery within the Orion Development Area into strata that are
common to, and correlate with, the interval between measured depths of 4,549 feet and 5,106
feet in the PBU V-201 well and between the measured depths of 4,174 feet and 4,800 feet in
Milne Point Unit well A-1.
AIO 26B Corrected
April 15, 2014
Page 4 of 6
Rule 2 Fluid Iniection Wells (Source AIO 26)
The underground injection of fluids must be through a well that has been permitted for drilling
as a service well for injection in conformance with 20 AAC 25.005, or through a well approved
for conversion to a service well for injection in conformance with 20 AAC 25.280 and 20 AAC
25.412 (e).
Rule 3• Authorized Fluids for Enhanced Recovery (Source as indicated)
Fluids authorized for injection include:
a. enriched gas from the Prudhoe Bay Unit processing facilities (AIO 26A);
b. produced water from Prudhoe Bay Unit production facilities for the purposes of pressure
maintenance and enhanced recovery (AIO 26);
c. tracer survey fluid to monitor reservoir performance (AIO 26);
d. source water from a sea water treatment plant (AIO 26);
e. source water from the Prince Creek (Ugnu) formation (AIO 26);
f. non -hazardous filtered water collected from Schrader Bluff Oil Pool well house cellars
and well pads in the Orion Development Area (AIO 26); and
g. non -hazardous filtered lake water employed for hydrotesting pipeline segments (AIO
26A.001).
Rule 4 Monitoring the Tubing -Casing Annulus Pressure Variations
(Source AIO 26A)
The tubing and casing annuli pressures of each injection well must be monitored at least daily,
except if prevented by extreme weather condition, emergency situations, or similar unavoidable
circumstances. Monitoring results shall be documented and made available for AOGCC
inspection.
Rule 5 Demonstration of Tubing -Casing Annulus Mechanical Integrity
(Source AIO 26A)
The mechanical integrity of an injection well must be demonstrated before injection begins, and
before returning a well to service following a workover affecting mechanical integrity. A
AOGCC-witnessed mechanical integrity test must be performed after injection is commenced
for the first time in a well, to be scheduled when injection conditions (temperature, pressure,
rate, etc.) have stabilized. Subsequent tests must be performed at least once every four years
thereafter. The AOGCC must be notified at least 24 hours in advance to enable a representative
to witness mechanical integrity tests. Unless an alternate means is approved by the AOGCC,
mechanical integrity must be demonstrated by a tubing/casing annulus pressure test using a
surface pressure of 1,500 psi or 0.25 psi/ft multiplied by the vertical depth of the packer,
whichever is greater, that shows stabilizing pressure and does not change more than 10 percent
during a 30 minute period. Results of mechanical integrity tests must be readily available for
AOGCC inspection.

Rule 6• Multiple Completion of Injection Wells (Source AIO 26A.002)
a. Injectors may be completed to allow for injection in multiple pools within the same wellbore
so long as mechanical isolation between pools is demonstrated and approved by the
AOGCC.
b. Prior to initiation of commingled injection, the AOGCC must approve methods for
allocation of injection to the separate pools.
c. Results of logs or surveys used for determining the allocation of water injection between
pools, if applicable, must be supplied in the annual reservoir surveillance report.
d. An approved injection order is required prior to commencement of injection in each pool.
Rule 7• Well Integrity Failure and Confinement (Source AI026AI
Whenever any pressure communication, leakage or lack of injection zone isolation is indicated
by injection rate, operating pressure observation, test, survey, log, or other evidence, the
operator shall notify the AOGCC by the next business day and submit a plan of corrective
action on a Form 10-403 for AOGCC approval. The operator shall immediately shut in the well
if continued operation would be unsafe or would threaten contamination of freshwater, or if so
directed by the AOGCC. A monthly report of daily tubing and casing annuli pressures and
injection rates must be provided to the AOGCC for all injection wells indicating well integrity
failure or lack of injection zone isolation.
Rule 8• Notification of Improper Class II Injection (AIO 26)
Injection of fluids other than those listed in Rule 3 without prior authorization is considered
improper Class II injection. Upon discovery of such an event, the operator must immediately
notify the AOGCC, provide details of the operation, and propose actions to prevent recurrence.
Additionally, notification requirements of any other State or Federal agency remain the
operator's responsibility.
Rule 9• Plugging and Abandonment of Fluid Injection Wells (AIO 26)
An injection well located within the affected area must not be plugged or abandoned unless
approved by the AOGCC in accordance with 20 AAC 25.
Rule 10: Other conditions (AIO 26)
It is a condition of this authorization that the operator complies with all applicable AOGCC
regulations.
The AOGCC may suspend, revoke, or modify this authorization if injected fluids fail to be
confined within the designated injection strata.
Rule 11: Administrative Actions (AIO 26)
Unless notice and public hearing is otherwise required, the AOGCC may administratively waive
the requirements of any rule stated above or administratively amend any rule as long as the
change does not promote waste or jeopardize correlative rights, is based on sound engineering
and geoscience principles, and will not result in an increased risk of fluid movement into
freshwater.

.TION AND APPEAL
As provided in AS 31.05.080(a), within 20 days after written notice of the entry of this order or decision, or such further time as the
AOGCC grants for good cause shown, a person affected by it may file with the AOGCC an application for reconsideration of the
matter determined by it. If the notice was mailed, then the period of time shall be 23 days. An application for reconsideration must
set out the respect in which the order or decision is believed to be erroneous.
The AOGCC shall grant or refuse the application for reconsideration in whole or in part within 10 days after it is filed. Failure to act
on it within 10-days is a denial of reconsideration. If the AOGCC denies reconsideration, upon denial, this order or decision and the
denial of reconsideration are FINAL and may be appealed to superior court. The appeal MUST be filed within 33 days after the date
on which the AOGCC mails, OR 30 days if the AOGCC otherwise distributes, the order or decision denying reconsideration,
UNLESS the denial is by inaction, in which case the appeal MUST be filed within 40 days after the date on which the application for
reconsideration was filed.
If the AOGCC grants an application for reconsideration, this order or decision does not become final. Rather, the order or decision on
reconsideration will be the FINAL order or decision of the AOGCC, and it may be appealed to superior court. That appeal MUST be
filed within 33 days after the date on which the AOGCC mails, OR 30 days if the AOGCC otherwise distributes, the order or decision
on reconsideration.
In computing a period of time above, the date of the event or default after which the designated period begins to run is not included in
the period; the last day of the period is included, unless it falls on a weekend or state holiday, in which event the period runs until 5:00
p.m. on the next day that does not fall on a weekend or state holiday.

RE: Authorized Fluids for FOR and Pressure Maintenance for the Schrader Bluff Oil Pool
Dear Ms. Cooke:
By letter dated April 30, 2012, BP Exploration (Alaska) Inc. (BPXA) requested that the Alaska
Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (AOGCC) administratively amend the following Area
Injection Orders (AIO): 3A, 4E, 14A, 20, 22E, 24B, 25A, 26B and 31. BPXA requested the
amendments in an effort to standardize the fluids authorized for injection for enhanced recovery
and pressure maintenance for the oil pools in the Prudhoe Bay Field. BPXA requested the
standardization due to the complexity of managing injection operations for multiple pools, with
different lists of authorized fluids, which are served by common production facilities. In
accordance with terms set forth below, BPXA's request is APPROVED with a minor change
to the wording proposed by BPXA.
BPXA proposes that AIO No. 26B be modified to approve the following for FOR and pressure
maintenance injection.
- Produced water and gas;
- Enriched hydrocarbon gas;
- Non -hazardous water and water based fluids — (includes seawater, source water,
freshwater, domestic wastewater, equipment washwater, sump fluids, hydrotest fluids,
firewater, and water with trace chemicals, and other water based fluids with a pH greater
than or equal to 2 or less than or equal to 12.5 and flashpoint greater than 10 degrees F);
- Fluids introduced to production facilities for the purpose of oil production, plant
operations, plant/piping integrity or well maintenance that become entrained in the
produced water stream after oil, gas, and water separation in the facility. Includes but not
limited to:
o Freeze protection fluids;
o Fluids in mixtures of oil sent for hydrocarbon recycle;
o Corrosion/scale inhibitor fluids;
o Anti-foams/emulsion breakers;
• 0
AIO 26B.001
September 4, 2012
Page 2 of 3
o Glycols
Non -hazardous glycols and glycol mixtures;
Fluids that are used for their intended purpose within the oil production process.
Includes:
o Scavengers;
o Biocides
Fluids to monitor or enhance reservoir performance. Includes:
o Tracer survey fluids;
o Well stimulation fluids;
o Reservoir profile modification fluids.
As shown above, the list of fluids for which BPXA seeks approval uses the terms "includes" and
"includes but not limited to." Words such as "includes" and "including" along with phrases such
as "includes but is not limited to" inappropriately delegate to BPXA the authority to determine
what additional fluids are approved. Therefore, this approval modifies BPXA's proposal to
delete the use of any such language as set forth below.
In support of its application, BPXA submitted a fluid compatibility review based on previous
orders and laboratory testing. This review showed that the proper handling and treating,
including the use of scale inhibitors, of the injection fluids as well as the proper operation and
maintenance, including the pumping of scale remover and acid treatments, of the injection wells
will prevent or counteract incompatibility effects. Thus there are no operational risks associated
with injection of the proposed fluids in this pool.
The change proposed by BPXA will result in increased production, is based on sound
engineering and geotechnical reasons, does not promote waste or jeopardize correlative rights,
and will not result in increased risk of fluid movement into freshwater. Correlative rights are
protected because all lands subject to these orders have been unitized. Freshwater is protected by
the proper design and completion of the wells, ongoing/periodic mechanical integrity evaluation
required for all injection wells and review of the offset wells to ensure that they won't act as
conduits to fluid movement.
NOW THEREFORE IT IS ORDERED THAT:
Rule 3 of AIO 26B is repealed and replaced by the following:
Rule 3 Authorized Fluids for enhanced Recovery
Fluids authorized for injection are:
a) Produced water and gas from Prudhoe Bay Unit processing facilities;
b) Enriched hydrocarbon gas;
c) Non -hazardous water and water based fluids — (specifically seawater, source
water, freshwater, domestic wastewater, equipment washwater, sump fluids,
hydrotest fluids, firewater, and water with trace chemicals, and other water based

flashpoint greater than 10 degrees F);
d) Fluids introduced to production facilities for the purpose of oil production, plant
operations, plant/piping integrity or well maintenance that become entrained in
the produced water stream after oil, gas, and water separation in the facility.
Specifically:
i. Freeze protection fluids;
ii. Fluids in mixtures of oil sent for hydrocarbon recycle;
iii. Corrosion/scale inhibitor fluids;
iv. Anti-foams/emulsion breakers;
V. Glycols

Specifically:
i. Scavengers;
ii. Biocides
g) Fluids to monitor or enhance reservoir performance. Specifically:
i. Tracer survey fluids;
ii. Well stimulation fluids;
iii. Reservoir profile modification fluids.
In addition administrative approval AIO 26A.001, which specified additional authorized fluids,
is hereby repealed.

RE: Authorized Fluids for FOR and Pressure Maintenance for the Schrader Bluff Oil Pool
Dear Ms. Cooke:
The Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission has amended the Administrative Approval to
correct an error in the description of non -hazardous water based fluids. The correction occurs in
two locations and is shown in underlined text below.
By letter dated April 30, 2012, BP Exploration (Alaska) Inc. (BPXA)requested that the Alaska
Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (AOGCC) administratively amend the following Area

ALASKA OIL AND GAS CONSERVATION COMMISSION
333 West 7th Avenue, Suite 100
Anchorage Alaska 99501
Re: THE APPLICATION OF BP
EXPLORATION (ALASKA) INC. for
Administrative Approval to inject
radioactive tracers used for surface facility
optimization in enhanced oil recovery
injection wells.
Docket Number: AIO-13-13
Area Injection Order No. 26B.002
Prudhoe Bay Unit
Orion Oil Pool
North Slope, Alaska
June 20, 2013
By letter dated May 14, 2013, BP Exploration (Alaska) Inc. (BPXA) requested administrative
approval to introduce radioactive tracers into the Gathering Center 2 (GC2) production facility
for the purpose of facility optimization. After passing through the production facility the
radioactive tracers would be entrained in the produced water injection system and injected in
enhanced oil recovery and disposal wells.
Radioactive tracers are not regulated by the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA).
The volume of radioactive tracer material will be exceedingly small in proportion to the millions
of gallons of produced water that GC2 handles on a daily basis. The half-life of the proposed
tracers is less than two days.
The exceedingly small volume and low concentration of the radioactive tracer material in the
produced water stream will have no impact on its performance as an enhanced oil recovery
injectant, and will not result in any formation or reservoir fluid compatibility issues. Therefore,
amending the list of approved fluids to include radioactive tracer fluids introduced to production
facilities is appropriate.
NOW THEREFORE IT IS ORDERED THAT:
Rule 3 of AIO 26B is repealed and replaced by the following:
Rule 3. Authorized Fluids for Enhanced Recovery
The fluids authorized by this Order for injection are as follows:
a) Produced water and gas from Prudhoe Bay Unit processing facilities;
b) Enriched hydrocarbon gas;
c) Non -hazardous water and water based fluids — (specifically seawater, source
water, freshwater, domestic wastewater, equipment washwater, sump fluids,
hydrotest fluids, firewater, and water with trace chemicals, and other water based
AIO 26B-002
June 20, 2013
Page 2 of 2
fluids with a pH greater than 2 and less than 12.5 and flashpoint greater than 140
degrees F);
d) Fluids introduced to production facilities for the purpose of oil production, plant
operations, plant/piping integrity or well maintenance that become entrained in
the produced water stream after oil, gas, and water separation in the facility.
Specifically:
i. Freeze protection fluids;
ii. Fluids in mixtures of oil sent for hydrocarbon recycle;
iii. Corrosion/scale inhibitor fluids;
iv. Anti-foams/emulsion breakers;
V. Glycols;
vi. Radioactive tracer survey fluids
e) Non -hazardous glycols and glycol mixtures;
f) Fluids that are used for their intended purpose within the oil production process.
Specifically:
i. Scavengers;
ii. Biocides
g) Fluids to monitor or enhance reservoir performance. Specifically:
i. Tracer survey fluids;
ii. Well stimulation fluids;
iii. Reservoir profile modification fluids.

ADMINISTRATIVE APPROVAL
AREA INJECTION ORDER NO. 26B.003
Mr. Stan Golis
Operations Manager
Hilcorp North Slope, LLC
3800 Centerpoint Dr., Suite 1400
Anchorage, AK 99503
Re: Docket Number: AIO-20-017
Administrative Approval to allow for a polymer injectivity test
Prudhoe Bay Unit
Schrader Bluff Oil Pool
Well L-213 (PTD 206-053)
Dear Mr. Golis:
On July 29, 2020, Hilcorp North Slope, LLC (HNS) submitted a sundry application to conduct a
polymer injectivity trial in the Prudhoe Bay Unit (PBU) L-213 well (PBU L-213). Because
polymers were not approved for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) injection in the Schrader Bluff Oil
Pool (SBOP) in the PBU the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (AOGCC) determined
that an administrative approval authorizing the polymer injection is necessary. On its own motion,
and in accordance with Rule 11 of Area Injection Order (AIO) 26B, the AOGCC hereby
AUTHORIZES the injection of polymers in the subject well in the SBOP at PBU under the
conditions stated below.
Polymer enhanced water flooding has the potential to increase ultimate recovery of oil from a
reservoir over a standard waterflood by modifying the properties of the injected water, principally
by increasing the viscosity, desirably affecting the mobility ratio and increasing the sweep
efficiency of the flood. HNS's sister company Hilcorp Alaska, LLC has had success with polymer
injection in the Schrader Bluff formation in the Milne Point Unit. HNS's sundry application
requested authorization to conduct an approximately 5 -week polymer injectivity test
(approximately one week each into the individual OA, Oba/OBb, OBc, and OBd sands, then a
week with all intervals open at the same time) to demonstrate whether polymer injection is viable
in the PBU's SBOP. On July 29, 2020, the AOGCC asked for more information about the project,
specifically the rates, pressures, and volumes expected during the injection trial. On July 31, 2020,
HNS provided the requested information.
AIO 26B.003
August 12, 2020
Page 2 of 2
HNS plans to inject water into each zone to establish a baseline and then inject polymer enhanced
water at two different concentrations to evaluate the impacts on injectability to evaluate if polymer
injection would be a viable EOR process in the SBOP.
In accordance with Rule 11 of AIO 26B the AOGCC finds that the polymer injectivity test will
not promote waste or jeopardize correlative rights and is based on sound engineering and
geoscience purposes and grants HNS permission to conduct a polymer injectivity test subject to
the following conditions:
1) This authorization is limited to the PBU L-213 well and to the project as described in the
sundry application from July 29, 2020, and the additional information on the project
provided on July 31, 2020;
2) Expansion of the polymer injection test beyond this well will require separate approval
from the AOGCC; and
3) Within 30 days of completion of the injectivity test HNS shall provide the AOGCC with a
summary of the results of the injectivity test.

Request for administrative approval to allow well L-221 (PTD 20803 10) to be online in
water only injection service with a known inner annulus (IA) repressurization.
Prudhoe Bay Unit (PBU) Orion L-221 (PTD 20803 10)
Prudhoe Bay Field
Schrader Bluff Oil Pool
Dear Mr. York:
By letter dated December 28, 2020, Hilcorp North Slope, LLC (Hilcorp) requested administrative
approval to continue water only injection in the subject well.
In accordance with Rule 11 of Area Injection Order (AIO) 2613.000, the Alaska Oil and Gas
Conservation Commission (AOGCC) hereby GRANTS Hilcorp's request for administrative
approval to continue water only injection in the subject well.
On November 21, 2020 Hilcorp placed the well on produced water injection following a cement
packer squeeze workover. Hilcorp was granted up to 45 days injection for monitoring and
diagnostics to investigate a potential IA repressurization. Hilcorp completed a water flow log
around the packer squeeze verifying no flow. Hilcorp completed a passing state witnessed
Mechanical Integrity Test of the Inner Annulus (MITIA) on December 30, 2020 which indicates
that L-221 exhibits at least two competent barriers to the release of well pressure. AOGCC
believes Hilcorp can safely manage the IA repressurization with periodic pressure bleeds.
Accordingly, the AOGCC believes that the well's condition does not compromise overall well
integrity so as to threaten human safety or the environment.
AIO 26B.004
January 5, 2021
Page 2 of 2
AOGCC's approval to continue water injection only in PBU Orion L-221 is conditioned upon the
following:
1. Hilcorp shall record wellhead pressures and injection rate daily;
2. Hilcorp shall submit to the AOGCC a monthly report of well pressures, injection rates, and
pressure bleeds for all annuli. Bleeds to be flagged on the report;
3. Hilcorp shall perform a mechanical integrity test of the inner annulus (MITIA) every 2
years to the greater of the maximum anticipated injection pressure or 0.25 x packer TVD,
but not less than 1500 psi;
4. Hilcorp shall limit the well's IA operating pressure to 2100 psi, and the outer annulus
operating pressure to 1000 psi;
5. Hilcorp shall immediately shut in the well and notify the AOGCC if there is any change in
the well's mechanical condition;
6. After well shut in due to a change in the well's mechanical condition, AOGCC approval
shall be required to restart injection; and
7. The next required MIT is to be before or during the month of December 2022. AOGCC
must be provided the opportunity to witness the MIT for a test to establish a new test due
date.

2. Hilcorp shall submit to the AOGCC a monthly report of well pressures, injection rates, and
pressure bleeds for all annuli. Bleeds to be flagged on the report;
3. Hilcorp shall perform a MIT of the inner annulus every two years to the greater of the
maximum anticipated injection pressure or 0.25 x packer TVD, but not less than 1500 psi;
4. Hilcorp shall limit the well's inner annulus operating pressure to 2100 psi and the outer
annulus operating pressure to 1000 psi;
5. Hilcorp shall monitor the inner annulus and outer annulus pressures with wireless pressure
gauges;
6. Hilcorp shall immediately shut in the well and notify the AOGCC if there is any change in
the well's mechanical condition;
7. After well shut in due to a change in the well's mechanical condition, AOGCC approval
shall be required to restart injection; and
8. The next required MIT shall be completed before or during the month of May 2023.
AOGCC must be provided the opportunity to witness the MIT for a test to establish a new
test due date.

Prudhoe Bay Unit V-221 (PTD 2050130), Orion Oil Pool
Dear Mr. Golis:
By emailed letter dated April 18, 2022, Hilcorp North Slope, LLC (Hilcorp) requested
administrative approval to continue water alternating gas (WAG) injection with a known tubing
by inner annulus (TxIA) pressure communication.
In accordance with 20AAC 25.556(d), the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission
(AOGCC) hereby GRANTS, subject to conditions, Hilcorp’s request for administrative approval
to continue WAG injection in the subject well.
Hilcorp reported a potential TxIA pressure communication to AOGCC on April 2, 2022, while the
well was on miscible injectant (MI)/gas injection. Hilcorp requested and AOGCC approved a
monitoring and diagnostics period on MI. On April 10, 2022, Hilcorp performed additional
diagnostics including a passing non state-witnessed mechanical integrity test (MIT) of the inner
annulus (to a test pressure of 3,352 psi which is greater than the anticipated gas injection pressure
of 2,900 psi). This indicates that V-221 exhibits at least two competent barriers to the release of
well pressure. Hilcorp maintains live transmitters on the inner and outer annulus and alarm and
remote shut down functions in the Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system
that create layers of protection from an over-pressure event. AOGCC believes Hilcorp can safely
manage the TxIA communication with periodic pressure bleeds by maintaining the inner annulus
to a pressure not to exceed 2,100 psi and the outer annulus not to exceed 1,000 psi. Accordingly,
the AOGCC believes that the well’s condition does not compromise overall well integrity so as to
threaten human safety or the environment.
AIO 26B.006

AOGCC’s approval to continue WAG injection in V-221 is conditioned upon the following:
1. Hilcorp shall record wellhead pressures and injection rate daily;
2. Hilcorp shall submit to the AOGCC a monthly report of well pressures, injection
rates, and pressure bleeds for all annuli. Bleeds to be flagged on the report;
3. Hilcorp shall perform a MIT of the inner annulus every two years to the greater of
the maximum anticipated injection pressure or 0.25 x packer TVD, but not less than
1,500 psi;
4. Hilcorpshall limit the well’s inner annulus operating pressure to 2,100 psi. Audible
control room alarms shall be set at or below these limits;
5. Hilcorpshall limit the well’s outer annulus operating pressure to 1,000 psi. Audible
control room alarms shall be set at or below these limits;
6. Hilcorp shall monitor the inner and outer annulus pressures in real time with its
SCADA system;
7. Hilcorp shall maintain the Production Control Center (PCC) remote shut down
capability for V-221 when on gas or miscible injectant operation. During gas
injection, the IA protocols will include a drill site operator and PCC alarm set at
2,100 psi, and a high alarm set at 3,000 psi that will prompt the PCC to remotely
shut in the well;
8. Hilcorp shall immediately shut in the well and notify the AOGCC if there is any
change in the well's mechanical condition;
9. After well shut in due to a change in the well's mechanical condition, AOGCC
approval shall be required to restart injection; and
10. The next required MIT is to be before or during the month of April 2024. AOGCC
must be provided the opportunity to witness the MIT for a test to establish a new
test due date.

Injection
Prudhoe Bay Unit V-213A (PTD 2220010), Orion Oil Pool
Dear Mr. Golis:
By emailed letter dated May 10, 2022, Hilcorp North Slope, LLC (Hilcorp) requested administrative
approval to continue water alternating gas (WAG) injection with a “cement packer” that reduces the
monitorable inner annulus (IA). The cement packer design doesn’t meet the requirement of 20 AAC
25.412(b) that “an injector be equipped with tubing and a packer… the packer must be placed within 200
feet measured depth above the top of the perforations…”. The well, currently, has no known pressure
communication integrity issues.
In accordance with 20AAC 25.556(d), the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (AOGCC)
hereby GRANTS, subject to conditions, Hilcorp’s request for administrative approval to continue WAG
injection in the subject well.
The completion of V-213A left the 3-1/2”x 7” IA cement (cement top @ 3,110 ft 04/21/2022) functioning
as a “cement packer” with the 7” whipstock/casing shoe located at 3,491 ft. Hilcorp performed a cement
squeeze to ensure cement is present in the IA from an originally estimated 3,323 ft (03/03/2022) to now
3,110 ft. The cement squeeze was required to establish IA isolation as a combined mechanical integrity
test of the tubing and IA (CMIT-TxIA) performed on March 3, 2022 failed. The cemented IA effectively
prevents tubing integrity verification by IA monitoring from 3,110 ft to the perforations, so there is
potentially an increased risk of fluids undetectably being injected outside of the approved injection zone.
AOGCC proposed additional testing and monitoring be completed to assure in zone injection and
confinement of the injected fluids. On May 9, 2022, Hilcorp performed diagnostics including a passing
non state-witnessed mechanical integrity test of the inner annulus (MITIA). After the cement squeeze, on
AIO 26B.007
May 23, 2022
Page 2 of 3
April 30, 2022, Hilcorp completed a passing state-witnessed mechanical integrity test of the tubing
(MITT) (to a test pressure of 3,217 psi which is greater than the anticipated gas header injection pressure
of 3,200 psi) and a CMIT-TxIA to 3,283 psi. This indicates that V-213A exhibits at least two competent
barriers to the release of well pressure. Hilcorp maintains live transmitters on the inner and outer annulus
and alarm and remote shut down functions in the Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA)
system that create layers of protection from an over-pressure event. AOGCC believes Hilcorp can safely
manage injection operations without periodic pressure bleeds by maintaining the inner annulus to a
pressure not to exceed 2,100 psi and the outer annulus not to exceed 1,000 psi. Accordingly, the AOGCC
believes that the well’s condition does not compromise overall well integrity so as to threaten human
safety or the environment.
AOGCC’s approval to continue WAG injection in V-213A is conditioned upon the following:
1) Hilcorp shall record wellhead pressures and injection rate daily;
2) Hilcorp shall submit to the AOGCC a monthly report of well pressures, injection rates, and
pressure bleeds for all annuli. Bleeds to be flagged on the report;
3) Hilcorp shall perform a MITIA every two years to the greater of the maximum anticipated
header injection pressure or 0.25 x packer TVD, but not less than 1,500 psi;
4) Hilcorp shall perform a MITT every year to the greater of the maximum header injection
pressure (approx. 3,200 psi on gas) or 0.25 x packer TVD, but not less than 1,500 psi;
5) Hilcorpshall limit the well’s inner annulus operating pressure to 2,100 psi. Audible control
room alarms shall be set at or below these limits;
6) Hilcorpshall limit the well’s outer annulus operating pressure to 1,000 psi. Audible control
room alarms shall be set at or below these limits;
7) Hilcorp shall monitor the inner and outer annulus pressures in real time with its SCADA
system;
8) Hilcorp shall maintain the Production Control Center (PCC) remote shut down capability
for V-213A when on gas or miscible injectant (MI) operation. During gas/MI injection,
the IA protocols will include a drill site operator and PCC alarm set at 2,100 psi, and a high
alarm set at 3,000 psi that will prompt the PCC to remotely shut in the well;
9) Hilcorp shall immediately shut in the well and notify the AOGCC if there is any change in
the well's mechanical condition;
10)After well shut in due to a change in the well's mechanical condition, AOGCC approval
shall be required to restart injection; and
11)The next required MIT of the tubing is to be before or during the month of April 2023.

Re: Docket Number: AIO-22-022
Request to Amend Area Injection Order 26B.007; Water Alternating Gas Injection
Prudhoe Bay Unit V-213A (PTD 2220010), Orion Oil Pool
Dear Mr. Golis:
By emailed letter dated July 23, 2022, Hilcorp North Slope, LLC (Hilcorp) requested
administrative approval to amend Area Injection Order (AIO) 26B.007 to continue water
alternating gas (WAG) injection with a recently determined tubing by inner annulus (TxIA)
pressure communication.
In accordance with 20AAC 25.556(d), the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission
(AOGCC) hereby GRANTS, subject to conditions, Hilcorp’s request for administrative approval
to continue WAG injection in the subject well.
AIO 26B.007 was initially issued May 23, 2022 as the well has a “cement packer” that reduces
the monitorable inner annulus (IA). The cement packer design doesn’t meet the requirement of
20 AAC 25.412(b) that “an injector be equipped with tubing and a packer… the packer must be
placed within 200 feet measured depth above the top of the perforations…”. Hilcorp confirmed
slow TxIA pressure communication and reported this to AOGCC on July 7, 2022 after an
extended IA bleed returned gas.
The completion of V-213A left the 3-1/2”x 7” IA cement (cement top @ 3,110 ft 04/21/2022)
functioning as a “cement packer” with the 7” whipstock/casing shoe located at 3,491 ft. Hilcorp
performed a cement squeeze to ensure cement is present in the IA from an originally estimated
3,323 ft (03/03/2022) to now 3,110 ft. The cement squeeze was required to establish IA isolation
as a combined mechanical integrity test of the tubing and IA (CMIT-TxIA) performed on March
3, 2022 failed. The cemented IA effectively prevents tubing integrity verification by IA
monitoring from 3,110 ft to the perforations, so there is potentially an increased risk of fluids
undetectably being injected outside of the approved injection zone. AOGCC proposed additional
AIO 26B.007 Amended

testing and monitoring be completed to assure in zone injection and confinement of the injected
fluids. After the cement squeeze, on April 29, 2022, Hilcorp completed a passing state-witnessed
mechanical integrity test of the tubing (MITT) (to a test pressure of 3,217 psi which is greater than
the anticipated gas header injection pressure of 3,200 psi) and a CMIT-TxIA to 3,283 psi. On May
9, 2022, Hilcorp performed diagnostics including a passing state-witnessed mechanical integrity
test of the inner annulus (MITIA). This indicates that V-213A exhibits at least two competent
barriers to the release of well pressure. Hilcorp maintains live transmitters on the inner and outer
annulus and alarm and remote shut down functions in the Supervisory Control and Data
Acquisition (SCADA) system that create layers of protection from an over-pressure event.
AOGCC believes Hilcorp can safely manage injection operations with periodic pressure bleeds by
maintaining the inner annulus to a pressure not to exceed 2,100 psi and the outer annulus not to
exceed 1,000 psi. Accordingly, the AOGCC believes that the well’s condition does not
compromise overall well integrity so as to threaten human safety or the environment.
AOGCC’s approval to continue WAG injection in V-213A is conditioned upon the following:
1) Hilcorp shall record wellhead pressures and injection rate daily;
2) Hilcorp shall submit to the AOGCC a monthly report of well pressures, injection
rates, and pressure bleeds for all annuli. Bleeds to be flagged on the report;
3) Hilcorp shall perform a MITIA every two years to the greater of the maximum
anticipated header injection pressure or 0.25 x packer TVD, but not less than 1,500
psi;
4) Hilcorp shall perform a MITT every year to the greater of the maximum header
injection pressure (approx. 3,200 psi on gas) or 0.25 x packer TVD, but not less
than 1,500 psi;
5) Hilcorpshall limit the well’s inner annulus operating pressure to 2,100 psi. Audible
control room alarms shall be set at or below these limits;
6) Hilcorpshall limit the well’s outer annulus operating pressure to 1,000 psi. Audible
control room alarms shall be set at or below these limits;
7) Hilcorp shall monitor the inner and outer annulus pressures in real time with its
SCADA system;
8) Hilcorp shall maintain the Production Control Center (PCC) remote shut down
capability for V-213A when on gas or miscible injectant (MI) operation. During
gas/MI injection, the IA protocols will include a drill site operator and PCC alarm
set at 2,100 psi, and a high alarm set at 3,000 psi that will prompt the PCC to
remotely shut in the well;
9) Hilcorp shall immediately shut in the well and notify the AOGCC if there is any
change in the well's mechanical condition;
10)After well shut in due to a change in the well's mechanical condition, AOGCC
approval shall be required to restart injection; and
11)The next required MIT of the tubing is to be before or during the month of April
2023. AOGCC must be provided the opportunity to witness the MIT for a test to
establish a new test due date.

Injection
Prudhoe Bay Unit Z-223 (PTD 2220800), Orion Development Area, Schrader Bluff Oil Pool
Dear Mr. Golis:
By emailed letter dated January 9, 2023, Hilcorp North Slope, LLC (Hilcorp) requested administrative
approval to continue water alternating gas (WAG) injection with a high set packer that reduces the
monitorable inner annulus (IA). The packer design doesn’t meet the requirement of 20 AAC 25.412(b)
that “an injector be equipped with tubing and a packer… the packer must be placed within 200 feet
measured depth above the top of the perforations…”. The well, currently, has no known pressure
communication integrity issues.
In accordance with 20AAC 25.556(d), the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (AOGCC)
hereby GRANTS, subject to conditions, Hilcorp’s request for administrative approval to continue WAG
injection in the subject well.
The completion of Z-223 left the 4-1/2” tubing packer set at 4,058 ft measured depth (MD) which is now
2,410 ft above the shallowest open perforation of 6,468 ft MD. The high set packer effectively prevents
tubing integrity verification by IA monitoring from 4,058 ft to the perforations, so there is potentially an
increased risk of fluids undetectably being injected outside of the approved injection zone. AOGCC
proposed additional testing and monitoring be completed to assure in zone injection and confinement of
the injected fluids. On December 21, 2022, Hilcorp completed a waterflow log which showed no upward
movement of fluids indicating fluid is confined to the approved injection interval. On October 13, 2022,
Hilcorp had performed diagnostics including a passing state-witnessed mechanical integrity test of the
inner annulus (MITIA). This indicates that Z-223 exhibits at least two competent barriers to the release
of well pressure. Hilcorpmaintains live transmitters on the inner and outer annulus and alarm and remote
shut down functions in the Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system that create layers

2,100 psi and the outer annulus not to exceed 1,000 psi. Accordingly, the AOGCC believes that the
well’s condition does not compromise overall well integrity so as to threaten human safety or the
environment.
AOGCC’s approval to continue WAG injection in Z-223 is conditioned upon the following:
1. Hilcorp shall record wellhead pressures and injection rate daily;
2. Hilcorp shall submit to the AOGCC a monthly report of well pressures, injection rates, and
pressure bleeds for all annuli. Bleeds to be flagged on the report;
3. Hilcorp shall perform a MITIA every two years to the greater of the maximum anticipated
header injection pressure or 0.25 x packer TVD, but not less than 1,500 psi;
4. Hilcorp shall perform a waterflow log with temperature warm backs every two years with
stations at 200 ft intervals from above the tubing packer at 4,058 ft MD to the lowermost
wireline accessible depth of approximately 5,550 ft MD;
5. Hilcorp shall limit the well’s inner annulus operating pressure to 2,100 psi. Audible control
room alarms shall be set at or below these limits;
6. Hilcorp shall limit the well’s outer annulus operating pressure to 1,000 psi. Audible control
room alarms shall be set at or below these limits;
7. Hilcorp shall monitor the inner and outer annulus pressures in real time with its SCADA
system;
8. Hilcorp shall maintain the Production Control Center (PCC) remote shut down capability
for Z-223 when on gas or miscible injectant (MI) operation. During gas/MI injection, the
IA protocols will include a drill site operator and PCC alarm set at 2,100 psi, and a high
alarm set at 3,000 psi that will prompt the PCC to remotely shut in the well;
9. Hilcorp shall immediately shut in the well and notify the AOGCC if there is any change in
the well's mechanical condition;
10. After well shut in due to a change in the well's mechanical condition, AOGCC approval
shall be required to restart injection; and
11. The next required MIT of the tubing is to be before or during the month of October 2024.
AOGCC must be provided the opportunity to witness the MIT for a test to establish a new
test due date.

Subject: Orion well Z-223 (PTD# 222080). Request for WAG injection operations.
Dear Commissioner Chmielowski and Commissioner Wilson,
Hilcorp North Slope, LLC requests administrative approval for WAG injection into Orion well Z-223 with high set
injection packer.
Z-223 (PTD#222080) was recently drilled as a Schrader Bluff WAG injector, completed on 8/30/2022. While
running the 4.5” injection liner to bottom, the rig encountered issues getting liner to target depth resulting in the
injection packer being set roughly 1432’ MD above the permitted set depth. An MIT of the 9-5/8”casing on
8/14/2022 passed to 2663 psi, confirming integrity of the casing below the liner top packer now set at 3938’MD.
An AOGCC witnessed offline MIT-IA passed to 3570 psi on 10/13/2022. With permission from the AOGCC, Z-223
was placed on water injection for a 2-month evaluation period. On 12/21/2022 a waterflow log (WFL) was
conducted with the well on injection, looking for upward movement of water out of the approved injection zone
from the top most perforated liner at 6468’MD. No out of zone injection was found.
Hilcorp North Slope, LLC has determined that well Z-223 is safe to operate in its current condition and requests
permission for WAG injection based on the following:
x Injection is isolated to the approved injection interval.
x Passing pressure test of the primary and secondary barriers.
x IA and OA pressures will be monitored with wireless pressure gauges.
If you have any questions, please call me at 907-777-8356 or Oliver Sternicki at 907-564-4891.

Orion Well Z-223
Technical Justification for Administrative Approval Request
01/09/2023
Well History and Status
Orion well Z-223 (PTD#222080) was drilled as a Schrader Bluff WAG injector, completed on 8/30/2022.The rig
encountered issues running the 4.5” liner to bottom, eventually working it from ~9500’ to 15391’ MD at which point
no further progress could be made and the liner was set short of the 17,549’ MD target. The liner top packer and
the injection packer were set high with the injection packer set at 4058’ MD, roughly 1432’ MD /1087’ TVD above
the planned and permitted set depth of 5490’ MD. The packer depth of 4058’ MD places the bottom of the
monitorable annulus above the top of the Schrader Bluff injection zone at ~ 5430’ MD/4544’TVD and into the
Ugnu formation. The top of the Ugnu formation is at ~3670’ MD. The 9-5/8” casing tested good on the rig to 2500
psi on 8/14/22 confirming integrity of the casing below liner top packer, ensuring current isolation of injected fluids
to below the 9-5/8” casing shoe. The upper three sliding sleeves have been left closed. The uppermost injection
from the liner occurs through perforations at 6468’ MD within the lower OBC sand in Schrader Bluff formation, ~
1038’ MD below the top of the Schrader Bluff. An open hole metal expandable packer set below the 9-5/8” casing
shoe at 6227’ MD, providing additional isolation of injection fluids to the open hole section of the OBC sand within
the Schrader Bluff formation. An AOGCC witnessed offline MIT-IA passed to 3570 psi on 10/13/2022. An AOGCC
witnessed online MIT-IA passed to 1852 psi on 11/14/2022. The well was placed on water injection on 11/11/2022
for a 60-day evaluation period to establish injection and conduct a WFL/ temperature warm back log to look for
upward flow of water outside of the 9-5/8” casing indicating possible out of zone injection. This log was executed
on 12/21/2022, no indications of upward flow were seen in the log.
Forecasted Benefit of WAG vs PWI
Benefits of WAG injection over PWI only injection are concentrated in the first 6 years of injection with Z-223 on a
1-year WAG cycle. Analogue Schrader Bluff well performance benefits for WAG vs PWI only indicate an 8%
increase in total recovery for this pattern resulting in an estimated additional ~1200 MBO of production.
Recent Well Events:
12/21/2022 Online WFL showed no out of zone injection.
11/14/2022 Online passing AOGCC witnessed MIT-IA to 1852 psi
11/11/2022 Well placed on water injection for 60-day evaluation period.
10/13/2022 Shut-in passing AOGCC witnessed MIT-IA to 3570 psi
8/14/2022 Passing MIT of 9-5/8” casing on rig to 2663 psi
Barrier and Hazard Evaluation
The primary and secondary barriers systems consist of the tubing and production casing and associated
hardware. A passing online pressure test conducted on 11/14/2022, which tested both barriers, demonstrates
competent primary and secondary barrier systems. The WFL/ temperature warm back log showed no upward
movement of water indicating fluid is confined to the approved injection interval. A WFL/ temperature warm back
log with the well on water injection is the best option for evaluation of potential upward movement of fluids
adjacent to the wellbore due to its ability to determine direction and velocity of water movement with the pulsed
neutron log and the ability to detect the accumulation of injected fluids out of zone adjacent to the wellbore with
the temperature warm back log.
Proposed Operating and Monitoring Plan
1. Record wellhead pressures and injection rates daily;
2. Submit to the AOGCC a monthly report of well pressures, injection rates, and pressure bleeds for all
annuli. Bleeds to be flagged on the report;
3. Perform a MIT-IA every two years to the greater of the maximum anticipated wellhead injection pressure
or 0.25 x packer TVD, but not less than 1,500 psi;
4. Perform waterflow log (well on water injection) with temperature warm backs every 2 years with stations
at 200’ intervals from above the tubing packer at 4058’ MD to lowermost wireline accessible depth(~5550’
MD).
5. Limit the well’s inner annulus operating pressure to 2,100 psi. Audible control room alarms shall be set at
or below these limits;
6. Limit the well’s outer annulus operating pressure to 1000 psi. Audible control room alarms shall be set at
or below these limits;
7. Monitor the inner and outer annulus pressures in real time with its SCADA system;
8. Maintain the Production Control Center (PCC) remote shut down capability for Z-223 when on gas or
miscible injectant (MI) operation;
9. Immediately shut in the well and notify the AOGCC if there is any change in the well's mechanical
condition;
10. After well shut in due to a change in the well's mechanical condition, AOGCC approval shall be required
to restart injection;

1.0 Executive Summary
Well: Z-223
Oxygen Activation Evaluation Survey date: 22-DEC-2022
Logging Objective
The logging objective is to perform water flow log to determine water flow behind pipe. Injection rate during
logging is 2800 BWPD.
Conclusions
The TMD3D and RMT3D Tools were run in oxygen activation impulse mode in the 4.5” tubing and liner
taking impulse tests at several station depths. The tool was run in normal configuration (generator
positioned below the detectors) for water up flow detection.
Impulse tests with TMD3D were done in 6 different depths: 3900, 4100, 4300, 4500, 4700, and 4900 ft MD.
Impulse tests with RMT3D were done in 5 different depths: 5100, 5300, 5500, 5700, and 5798 ft MD.
The impulse tests show no detectable water moving upward at the station depths.

4.0 Water Flow Log Evaluation
The TMD3D was run using stationary impulse tests across the zones of interest. Water flow can be
detected by measuring gamma rays originating from activated oxygen within any water flowing past the
neutron generator (activation) then moving past the detector section (decay).
The fluid/water velocity is estimated from oxygen activation using impulse test data. The flow direction is
determined by the position of the sensor relative to the neutron generator. The flow region, near or far, is
derived by the ratio of Compton backscatter gamma rays compared to original gamma r ay counts from
activated oxygen. Lower Compton ratio indicates a flow region further from the tool i.e., behind the next
string of pipe.
Total oxygen activation will be a function of:
• volume of water in the region of neutron cloud
• flow velocity of water
• tool speed
• flow distance to detector
• time exposure
Below is a representation of the sequence of radioactive excitation and subsequent relaxation of Oxygen.
Figure 1: Sequence events of oxygen activation
The tool is configured in the normal mode with the neutron generator below the detector section. In the
normal configuration, water will only be detected when moving up relative to the tool, in both the stationary
impulse mode and continuous mode.
Any oxygen activation detected by far and long detector should be from water flow upward. If there is water
flow in the downward direction the GR sensor below the neutron generator will detect the activated oxygen.
The near detector is not use for the calculation due to its proximity to the neutron generator.

Stationary Impulse Method
This technique is a travel-time measurement and has the significant advantage of not requiring any
calibration of the detectors. When the tool is stationary at a specified depth, the generator is turned on and
allowed to stabilize. The count rate in each detector is then recorded for one or two minutes, at which time
the generator is shut down. At some time later (depending on the fluid flow velocity and distance from the
various detectors to the source), the count rate recorded in the detectors will drop to background level. The
count rate will drop to zero in the spectral window encompassing the oxygen peak. The surface computer
records the various detector count rates, steps down the generator, measures the time until the recorded
count rates fall to one-half full value, and then computes a velocity from the travel time. The fluid velocity is
the distance from the source to the detector divided by the time between the count-rate drop and the time
when the generator was shut down. The procedure is completely automated.
The spectral data can be processed to provide fluid velocity in one step because the count rate falls to zero
after the activation passes. Processing the total gamma ray count rates requires two steps. The natural
Page 9 of 33
background must be measured for approximately one minute after the drop to correct for the nonzero
background activity. Fig. 3 is a graphical representation of the timing cycle used by the stationary impulse
method.

The rate computation:
Outer Casing ID = 3.958 inch (4.5” tubing), Inner Casing OD = 1.6 inch (the tool OD)
Vavg = average water velocity
Qw (bpd) = Vavg (ft/min) x 1.4 x (Outer CasingID2 (inch) – Inner CasingOD2 (inch))

Subject: Orion Well V-213A (PTD# 222001). Request for Administrative Approval to document well integrity testing
requirements by the AOGCC.
Dear Chairman Price,
Hilcorp North Slope, LLC requests administrative approval for Orion well V-213A due to the AOGCC agreed integrity testing
requirements beyond those stipulated in AIO 26B.
Due to the completion of V-213A, the inner annulus (IA) cement top, functioning as the “packer”, is greater than 200’ MD above
the top of the perforations. This completion does not meet the requirement stipulated in 20AAC 25.412(b). Within PTD #222001,
dated 01/19/2022, additional pressure testing is required as part of the conditions of approval to ensure continued well integrity.
The PTD #222001 requirement:
1. Annual MIT-T with a deep-set plug just above the top injection mandrel to 3200 psi (maximum header injection
pressure*). Most recently completed on 04/29/2022 to 3217 psi based on a maximum anticipated header injection
pressure of 3200 psi.
*”Maximum header injection pressure” is determined by review of the previous year of daily header injection pressure or
forecasted maximum header injection pressure, whichever is more applicable.
Additional Operating and Monitoring Plan:
1. Record wellhead pressures and injection rate daily.
2. Submit a report monthly of well pressures and injection rates to the AOGCC.
3. 2-year MIT-IA online to AIO 26B Rule 5 pressure requirements. Most recently completed on 05/09/2022 to 3102 psi.
4. IA MOASP= 2100 psi, OA MOASP= 1000 psi. Well shut-in pressures: IA= 3000 psi, OA = 2000 psi. Annulus pressures
between MOASP and the shut-in pressure will be managed by bleeding the annulus.
5. IA and OA pressures will be monitored with wireless pressure gauges through the SCADA system.
6. The well will be shut-in and the AOGCC notified if there is any change in the wells mechanical condition.
7. Shut-in of the well can be accomplished remotely from the Production Control Center when the well in on MI or
locally at the well by the pad operator when the well is on water injection.
8. After well shut-in due to a change in the well’s mechanical condition, AOGCC approval shall be required to restart
injection.
Hilcorp North Slope, LLC has determined that well V-213A is safe to operate and requests administrative approval to document
specific testing requirements for the well.
If you have any questions, please call me at 907-777-8356 or Oliver Sternicki at 907-564-4891.

injection operations.
Dear Chairman Price,
Hilcorp North Slope, LLC requests administrative approval for continued WAG injection into Orion well V-
221 with slow tubing x inner annulus (IA) communication.
V-221 was reported to the AOGCC on 04/02/2022 at which time the well was placed under evaluation for
suspected slow tubing by IA pressure communication based on IA pressure trends while on MI service.
On 04/03/2022 a tubing hanger pack-off test passed to 5000 psi. An online AOGCC witnessed MIT-IA
passed to 3352 psi on 04/10/2022. The passing MIT-IA confirms both the primary and secondary well
barrier integrity.
Hilcorp North Slope, LLC has determined that well V-221 is safe to operate in its current condition and
requests an AA for WAG injection based on the following:
x IA pressure can be maintained below MOASP by managing the IA repressurization with periodic
annular bleeds.
x MIT-IA passed to 3352 psi.
x IA and OA pressures will be monitored with wireless pressure gauges.
If you have any questions, please call me at 907-777-8356 or Oliver Sternicki at 907-564-4891.

Orion Well V-221
Technical Justification for Administrative Approval Request
04/18/2022
Well History and Status
Orion well V-221 is a WAG injector that was originally drilled in 2005. Prior to the discovery of the IA
pressure anomaly on V-221, the most recent AOGCC witnessed MIT-IA passed to 2349 psi on
03/14/2021. On 04/02/2022 V-221 was found to have IA repressurization while on MI and was reported to
the AOGCC and placed under evaluation. An AOGCC witnessed MIT-IA passed to 3352 psi on
04/10/2022.
Recent Well Events:
04/10/2022 AOGCC witnessed MIT-IA passed to 3352 psi.
04/03/2022 PPPOT-T Passed to 5000 psi
04/02/2022 TxIA pressure communication noted and notification sent to the AOGCC
03/14/2021 AOGCC witnessed MIT-IA passed to 2349 psi
Barrier and Hazard Evaluation
The primary and secondary barriers systems consist of the tubing and production casing and associated
hardware. A passing pressure test of the inner annulus to 3352 psi on 04/10/2022, which tests both
barriers, demonstrates competent primary and secondary barrier systems. No further diagnostics/ repair
will be pursued at this time due to the low likelihood of being able to determine the leakage point.
Proposed Operating and Monitoring Plan
1. Record wellhead pressures and injection rate daily.
2. Submit a report monthly of well pressures and injection rates to the AOGCC.
3. Perform a MIT-IA every 2 years to the greater of the maximum anticipated injection pressure or
0.25 x packer TVD, but not less than 1500 psi.
4. IA MOASP= 2100 psi, OA MOASP= 1000 psi.
5. IA and OA pressures will be monitored with wireless pressure gauges through SCADA system.
6. The well will be shut-in and the AOGCC notified if there is any change in the wells mechanical
condition.
7. After well shut-in due to a change in the well’s mechanical condition, AOGCC approval shall be
required to restart injection

Chris,
I was talking to Andy on the Slope this morning about the AA Request for V‐221 and submission of the PT form. I made a
mistake on the AA request stating that the test was witnessed, when in fact the witness was waived by Adam Earl. He
was on location and witnessed the V‐213 test, but the triplex pump ended up having some issues for the V‐221 test and
he had left location by the time the crew got it resolved and were ready to conduct the V‐221 test. Please see the
attached PT for your records.

Chris,
I got an additional clarification on the remote dump capabilities through PCC. For injectors the remote dump from PCC
only ties into wells on MI service, not wells on water injection. This is due to the risk of a pad shut‐in simultaneously
shutting off all water injection to the pad and the subsequent water hammer affect causing potential safety,
environmental and equipment damage issues. Automatic shut‐in of the water injection wells is handled by low pressure
pilots. Local isolation of these wells can be accomplished by the drillsite operator on the pad.

Chris,
Per our conversation yesterday regarding further details on the V‐221 WAG Administrative Approval request, please see
below:
1.The determination of the Maximum Anticipated Injection Pressure value for pressure testing of the well is based
off of a review of the previous year of daily injection data or forecasted maximum injection pressures predicted
to be seen by the next pressure test cycle, whichever is more applicable. As the injection pressure on an
individual well varies over time due to allocation of MI and water to various pads this approach makes the
pressure testing of an individual well more fit for purpose. The MIT‐IA conducted on 4/10/2022, which passed
to 3352 psi was based on a maximum tubing pressure of 2913 psi seen on 2/8/2022.
CAUTION: This email originated from outside the State of Alaska mail system. Do not click links or open
attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe.

2.Shut‐in of V‐221 can be done remotely by the Production Control Center (PCC) Operator who is monitoring
annulus pressures and injection rates through the SCADA system or by the drillsite operator on location. As
specified in the Prudhoe Bay Well Integrity Practice, the PCC operator or the drillsite operator would take action
to shut the well in based on the following guidelines, otherwise annulus pressure would be controlled by
bleeding:

Subject: Orion Well V-218 (PTD# 207040). Request for Administrative Approval to
continue WAG Injection Operations.
Dear Mr. Price,
Hilcorp North Slope, LLC requests administrative approval for continued WAG injection into
Orion well V-218 with slow inner annulus (IA) leakage.
WAG injector V-218 was found to have slow inner annulus pressure loss and was reported to
the AOGCC on 5/18/2021 and placed under evaluation. There is no indication of tubing by inner
annulus communication or inner annulus by outer annulus communication based on pressure
trends. The well had a passing AOGCC witnessed online MIT -IA on 05/25/2021 to 3240 psi
which confirms both the primary and secondary well barrier integrity.
Hilcorp North Slope, LLC has determined that well V-218 is safe to operate in its current
condition and requests an AA for WAG injection based on the following:
• MIT -IA passed to 3240 psi.
• IA and CA pressures will be monitored with wireless pressure gauges.
If you have any questions, please call me at 907-564-5231 or Ryan Holt/ Andy Ogg at 659-
5102.
Sincerely,

Orion Well V-218
Technical Justification for Administrative Approval Request
05/26/2021
Well History and Status
Well V-218 is a WAG injector that was drilled in April 2007. The OA was cemented during the
completion of the well with cement returns to surface. V-218 has predominantly been on
produced water injection except for in 2008 when it saw MI service. Prior to the recent
discovery of the IA pressure anomaly on V-218 the most recent AOGCC witnessed MIT -IA
passed to 1959 psi on 11/07/2017. On 05118/2021, V-218 was found to have slow IA pressure
loss and was reported to the AOGCC and placed under evaluation. Based on analysis of the
annulus and tubing pressure trends the IA does not appear to be in communication with the
tubing or the OA. An AOGCC witnessed MIT -IA passed to 3240 psi on 05/25/2021.
Recent Well Events:
05/25/2021
AOGCC witnessed MIT -IA passed to 3240 psi
05/19/2021
PPPOT-IC passed to 3500 psi
05/18/2021
IA pressure leakage flagged and notification sent to the AOGCC
11/07/2017
AOGCC witnessed MIT -IA passed to 1959 psi
Barrier and Hazard Evaluation
The primary and secondary barriers systems consist of the tubing and production casing and
associated hardware. A passing pressure test of the inner annulus to 3240 psi on 05/25/2021,
which tests both barriers, demonstrates competent primary and secondary barrier systems. No
further diagnostics/ repair will be pursued at this time due to the low likelihood of being able to
determine the leakage point based on the low fall -off rate.
Proposed Operating and Monitoring Plan
1. Record wellhead pressures and injection rate daily.
2. Submit a report monthly of well pressures and injection rates to the AOGCC.
3. Perform a 2-year MIT -IA to maximum anticipated injection pressure.
4. IA MOASP= 2100 psi, OA MOASP= 1000 psi
5. The well will be shut-in and the AOGCC notified if there is any change in the wells
mechanical condition.

Subject: Orion Well L-221 (PTD# 208031). Request for Administrative Approval to
continue Water Injection Operations.
Dear Mr. Price,
Hilcorp North Slope, LLC requests administrative approval for continued water injection into
Orion well L-221 with slow tubing (T) by inner annulus (IA) repressurization post IA packer
squeeze. No increase to Maximum Operating Annulus Surface Pressure (MOASP) is required.
WAG injector L-221 was found to have a packer leak after failing an MIT -IA on 7/29/2016. The
packer leak was repaired on 12/31/2018 with a cement packer squeeze under Sundry #318-
119. The well had a passing AOGCC witnessed MIT -T on 4/19/2019 to 2480 psi and a passing
AOGCC witnessed MIT -IA on 5/13/2019 to 3127 psi which confirms both the primary and
secondary well barriers.
On 11/21/2020 L-221 was placed on produced water injection to evaluate the success of the IA
packer squeeze job. During this evaluation period the well has shown slow IA repressurization
while on produced water injection which can be managed with periodic bleeds.
Hilcorp North Slope, LLC has determined that well L-221 is safe to operate in its current
condition and requests an AA for water injection based on the following:
• IA pressure can be maintained below MOASP by managing the IA repressurization with
periodic annular bleeds.
• MIT -IA passed to 3127 psi.
• IA and OA pressures will be monitored with wireless pressure gauges.
If you have any questions, please call me at 907-777-8345 or Ryan Holt/ Andy Ogg at 659-

Well History and Status
Well L-221 is currently a WAG injector that was originally drilled in April 2008. On
7/29/2016 an MIT -IA failed and the leak was found at the packer on 8/22/2016 with a
leak detection log. On 12/31/2018 an IA cement packer squeeze was completed under
sundry # 318-119 placing 572' of cement above the packer. An IA top of cement was
logged with a SCMT on 4/17/2019. An AOGCC witnessed MIT -T passed to 2480 psi on
4/19/2019 and the well was classified under evaluation and placed on produced water
injection on 5/11/2019. An AOGCC witnessed MIT -IA passed to 3127 psi on 5/13/2019.
During this evaluation period the well was found to have slow TxIA repressurization
when on produced water injection and was made not operable on 6/8/2019. To
complete the sundry work for the packer cement squeeze and evaluate the
repressurization rate the well was placed on produced water injection on 11/21/2020.
On 12/15/2020 a water flow log was completed with no flow seen in the annulus around
the packer squeeze. Monitoring from 11/21-12/21/2020 shows that on produced water
injection the IA�p+repressurization can be managed with periodic bleed and maintained

Barrier and Hazard Evaluation
The primary and secondary barriers systems consist of the tubing and production
casing and associated hardware. A passing pressure test of the inner annulus to 3127
psi on 05/13/2019, which tests both barriers, demonstrates competent primary and
secondary barrier systems.
Pressure on the inner annulus will be maintained below MOASP of 2100 psi when the
well is on-line.
Proposed Operating and Monitoring Plan
1. Water injection only
2. Record wellhead pressures and injection rate daily.
3. Submit a report monthly of well pressures and injection rates to the AOGCC.
4. Perform a 2 -year MIT -IA to 1.1x maximum anticipated injection pressure or 0.25
x packer TVD, whichever is greater.
5. IA MOASP= 2100 psi, OA MOASP= 1000 psi
6. The well will be shut-in and the AOGCC notified if there is any change in the
wells mechanical condition.

Mr. Wages,
In the referenced sundry application you seek permission for a polymer injectivity test in the Schrader Bluff/Orion oil
pool. Rule 3 of AID 26B specifies the fluids that are authorized for injection in the pool for EOR purposes, and this list
does not authorize the use of polymers. As such, you'll need to get an administrative approval from the AOGCC
authorizing polymer injection for this pilot project. Hilcorp's application should indicate the purpose of conducting the
pilot project, discuss compatibility of the proposed fluids with the reservoir, and provide details about the planned rates,
pressures, durations, and volumes of the various stages of the testing program. Some of this information is already
contained in the sundry application and where applicable the administrative approval application can reference the data
that has already been submitted.
Let me know if you have any questions.

For each zone, a baseline water step rate test (SRT) will be obtained using pad injection header before moving
on to the polymer injections. There will be several different polymer loadings tested. We are not testing WFRVs
at this time, only if we can get the reservoir to take our polymer. Fall off tests will be obtained in each zone,
once the pump is shut down, leave the well alone. The falloff data is extremely sensitive. It may be necessary to
call in a cement van for the higher pressures/rates.

Attention Mr. David Roby
Dear Mr. Roby:
Thank you for your request for clarification regarding the RCRA status of the
radioactive tracers to be used in the upcoming study at GC2. The GC2 Capacity
Study involves the injection of low level radioactive tracers upstream of the slug
catchers in GC2 to study the separation efficiency of various vessels. Once injected
into the vessels, the tracer will be commingled with production fluids at the
gathering center, follow the normal separation process, and be routed to the Class II
well system for either enhanced oil recovery or injection. The project is scheduled
to start June 20, 2013. Here are responses to your questions:
1. Evidence and legal authority in support of BP's assertion that
radioactive tracer wastes are not regulated under RCRA;
RCRA regulates hazardous solid wastes. Therefore, the threshold question when
determining the RCRA status of a material is whether it is a "solid waste." In order
to be a solid waste, a material must be "discarded." RCRA section 1004(27).1
Therefore, products being used for their intended purposes are not wastes because
they are not being discarded. In this case, the facility will be injecting low level
radioactive tracers upstream of the slug catchers in GC2 to study the separation
efficiency of various vessels. The purpose of this injection is not to discard or
dispose of the tracers, but to utilize them for their intended, useful purpose
(conducting the separation efficiency study). RCRA does not regulate this activity
because the purpose of the injection is not to discard the tracers.
1 42 U.S.C. § 6903(27).
• •
Once used, the radioactive tracers are not regulated under RCRA because they are
specifically excluded from the definition of "solid waste" under 40 CFR 261.4(a)(4).
Radioactive tracers are instead regulated under the Atomic Energy Act. As you
note in your letter, radioactive tracer waste is not E&P exempt because such waste
is not uniquely associated with oil and gas; many other industries use radioactive
tracers.
2. Evidence to support a determination whether radioactive tracer waste is
hazardous or whether it exhibits hazardous characteristics under 40 CFR
Part 261
As noted above, radioactive waste is excluded from the definition of "solid
waste" under RCRA. Therefore, such waste is not a "hazardous solid
waste" regulated under the statute.
3. Evidence and legal authority to support a claim that radioactive tracer
waste may otherwise fall under a RCRA exemption.
Disposal of the mixture comprised of produced water and the radioactive tracers is
covered under the RCRA Mixture Rule, which allows non-hazardous, non- E&P
exempt waste (e.g., used radioactive tracers) to be commingled with E&P exempt
waste (produced water), with the resulting mixture retaining the E&P
exemption.(See page 17 of the EPA RCRA E&P Guidance Document you cited in
your May 31, 2013 email.) Note that this result is consistent with how produced
water exposed to radioactive tracers injected during well logging is regulated as E&P
exempt waste.
We hope that this explanation satisfies your request for clarification. As noted
above, the study is scheduled to begin June 20, 2013. Please contact as soon as
possible if you have additional questions or want to discuss further at 907-564-5501
or contact Alison Cooke at 564-4838.

Subject: RE: BPXA Request for Administrative Approval
Alison,
BP's assertion that "Radioactive tracers are not regulated under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA)
so the fluids would not be designated hazardous or non-hazardous.Therefore,the diluted radioactive tracer which BP
proposes to use at GC2 would not be categorized as hazardous or non-hazardous under RCRA ..." cannot be reconciled
with a RCRA Guidance document which lists "radioactive tracer wastes" as a Non-Exempt Waste. See,
http://www.epa.gov/osw/nonhaz/industrial/special/oil/oil-gas.pdf at page 13 of 40. As a result, the AOGCC requests BP
provide the following:
1. Evidence and legal authority in support of BP's assertion that radioactive tracer wastes are not regulated under
RCRA;
2. Evidence to support a determination whether radioactive tracer waste is hazardous or whether it exhibits
hazardous characteristics under 40 CFR Part 261.
3. Evidence and legal authority to support a claim that radioactive tracer waste may otherwise fall under a RCRA
exemption.

Polaris Oil Pool, Area Injection Order 25A

Dear Ms. Foerster:
BP Exploration (Alaska) Inc. (BPXA) requests approval under Area Injection Order
(AIO) 3A Rule 1, AIO 22E Rule 10, AIO 24B Rule 2, AIO 25A Rule 3, and AIO 26B
Rule 3 to introduce radioactive tracer into the Gathering Center 2 (GC2)
production facility for the purpose of oil production, plant operations, and
plant/piping integrity. Radioactive tracers are not regulated under the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) so the fluids would not be designated
hazardous or non-hazardous. Therefore, the diluted radioactive tracer which BP
proposes to use at GC2 would not be categorized as hazardous or non-hazardous
under RCRA.
The tracer will comingle with produced fluids and be diluted prior to enhanced oil
recovery (EOR) reservoir injection. Mixing the radioactive tracer with produced
fluids meets the criteria of fluids suitable for Class II disposal well injection. The
tracer has been deemed to have no negative impact on the reservoir. Alyeska
Pipeline Service Company has been informed of the test and noted no concerns
with handling the diluted tracer.
In order to keep standardized and consistent language referencing the fluids
authorized for injection for enhanced recovery and pressure maintenance for all
Prudhoe Bay Field (PBF) AlOs, BPXA also requests that radioactive tracer fluids

be specifically included as fluids introduced to production facilities for the
purpose of oil production, plant operations, and plant/piping integrity in AIO 4E
Rule 1, AIO 14A Rule 1, AIO 20 Rule 1, and AIO 31 Rule 3.
GC2 Optimization
The West End Developments program consists of several projects to
debottleneck base production and increase future GC2 production. As part of the
program, the optimization of GC2 and its separation capabilities will be reviewed.
The current separation and sand handling capabilities will be evaluated in the
study and changes will likely be recommended to process future production
streams.
Capacity Study
The study will determine current vessel inefficiencies and propose upgrades to
the facility. Radioactive tracer is needed to calculate the residence time of the oil
and water phases in the slugcatchers and the water residence time in the skim
tanks. For this determination, a total of 300 mL of radioactive tracer (lanthanum
nitrate hexahydrate) will be injected upstream of the GC2 slugcatchers and skim
tanks to trace the water phase. It is expected that minor amounts of the 200 mL
bromoanthracene oil tracer will be carried into the produced water system.
The half-lives of each tracer used in this study will be less than 2 days. Reservoir
tracers typically used include cobalt-57, cobalt 60, carbon-14, or tritium which
have half-lives of 270 days, 5.26 years, 5730 years, and 12.32 years,
respectively. The shorter half-life in conjunction with the smaller injection sizes
proposed exposes the reservoir to minimal radioactivity for a short duration (see
table and chart Appendix 1).
Alternatives to radioactive tracer have been considered. The main benefit of a
tracer is the ability to detect concentration as a function of time, which
correlates to vessel residence time and can characterize inefficiencies of
internals. A non-radioactive tracer would require frequent sampling, and there is
a possibility the tracer would pass through the system between samples,
yielding no data. The ability to characterize vessel inefficiencies would be
compromised with a non-radioactive tracer.
Correct assessment of the separation capabilities of GC2 is necessary to
determine appropriate upgrades to the facility for increased separation capacity.
The most effective way to evaluate the separation capability of the facility is to
use a radioactive tracer. To summarize, BPXA requests Commission approval to

inject dilute volumes of radioactive tracer (that have been used in production
facilities for diagnostic purposes) in all PBF AlOs and in Class II disposal wells.

Re: Prudhoe Bay Field Area Injection Orders, Standardization of Authorized Fluids for EOR and
Pressure Maintenance
Dear Ms. Foerster,
This letter is to request a change to Prudhoe Bay Field (PBF) Area Injection Orders (AIO) to
standardize the language in the rule referencing the fluids authorized for injection for enhanced
recovery and pressure maintenance. BP Exploration (Alaska) Inc. (BPXA) is requesting this
change in order to address the complexity of field operations with multiple pools serviced by
common facilities and potential confusion that results from the differing language in the various
orders. This proposed change is intended to clarify and document the fluids that are authorized
for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) and pressure maintenance injection within the PBF and
provide greater compliance assurance for our field operations.
A review of AIOs for pools in the PBF indicates that some contain very general language and
some are very specific in defining which fluids are authorized for injection. The language
defining fluids that may be injected has changed over time in successive versions of some of
the orders. For instance, AIO 4 language has changed from "non- hazardous fluids ", to "Class II
fluids" to "authorized fluids ". In addition, some fluids have received specific authorization via
administrative approvals. The diversity of language and changes over time has resulted in
confusion over which fluids are actually authorized for injection. The enclosed list (Attachment
A) shows the various PBF pools, AIOs, and a summary of the current rule and /or administrative
approvals that authorize fluids that may be injected for purposes of pressure maintenance and
enhanced recovery. Also included is a summary of findings regarding the compatibility of fluids
authorized for injection.
As discussed with your staff, BPXA proposes to standardize the list of authorized fluids for the
various pools within the PBF. Attachment B is proposed language for this change. In some
pools, additional clarification may be required to capture specific conditions or restrictions
contained in current orders. Attachment C is a list of historical fluids injected for EOR and
pressure maintenance

Jody referred me to you with question on the Orion pool rules amendment application.
Attachment 4 was not noted as confidential on the attachment list, but Jody said the pages were marked confidential-she said
the commission had to check back with BP on that attachment.
Do you know yet if it is really confidential?
It's the amended Orion plan of development and operations; I'd really like to see that if it's a public document.
Jody e-mailed me the rest of the non-confidential application yesterday; if the plan is a public document I could really use it

1.0 INTRODUCTION
•
As provided for in the Findings and Decision for formation of the Orion Participating Area, BP
Exploration Alaska, Inc. (BPXA) as operator of the. Prudhoe Bay Unit is providing this annual
update to the Orion Plan of Development. This document provides an overview of the projects
and operations that comprise the development program for the Orion Participating Area (OPA).
The OPA development plan is consistent with the current business climate and understanding of
the Orion reservoir. Changes in business conditions, new insights into the reservoir or other new
information could alter the timing, scope, or feasibility of one or more of the plan components.
2.0 FIELD STATUS
Development of the Orion Reservoir has entailed phased drilling of 36 producers and injectors
from L-, V- and Z-Pads. Initial drilling commenced in December, 2001 with production startup
in April, 2002. Orion production is commingled with. IPA and Borealis production and flows to
GC-2 for processing. Water injection started in December 2003. The pattern waterflood is
designed to increase recovery and provide pressure support in the Orion reservoir. Tertiary
recovery, utilizing miscible gas for WAG (Water-Alternating-Gas injection) was initiated in
October 2006.
Central and southern areas of Orion will be developed using existing and expanded infrastructure
at L-Pad, V-Pad, W-Pad, and Z-Pad. Northern Orion may be developed in the future from a
proposed I-Pad. Additional surface facilities and pipelines maybe added to support future Orion
production, injection and artificial lift requirements.
Listed below is additional information regarding the Orion field as of May, 2008:
• 17 wells drilled at L-Pad
- 5 oil producers: 4 on-line
- 12 water injectors: 9 on-line
- (1 commingled Orion/Borealis water injector utilized)
• 18 wells drilled at V-Pad
- 4 oil producers: all on-line
- 14 water injectors: 11 on-line.
• 1 well drilled at Z-Pad
- 1 water injector: SI until offset producer is drilled
The average rates since the previous report are:
• Oil Production Rate: 10,100 BOPD
Attachment 4 -Amended Orion Plan of Development and Operations 10
Amendment to Orion Pool Rules and Area Injection Order
• •
• Gas Oil Ratio 1404 SCF/BO
• Water Production Rate 1500 BWPD
• Water Injection Rate: 6300 BWPD
• Gas Injection Rate: 5.4 MMSCFD
As of Apri130, 2008 the cumulative totals are:
• Cumulative Oil Production: 12.7 MMSTBO
• Cumulative Gas Production: 13.1 BSCF
• Cumulative Water Production: 1.1 MMSTB
• Cumulative Water Injection: 10.2 MMSTB
• Cumulative Gas Injection 2.6 BCF
3.0 SUMMARY OF ACTIVITIES
Summarized below are significant activities at Orion since the previous report (July 31, 2007
through April 30, 2008):
• Spudded the L-205 hexa-lateral with coring operations underway at report time.
• Drilled 4 vertical injection wells; V-220, V-223, L-221, L-220, to provide pressure
support to existing and future Orion production wells.
• Drilled the first high angle injection well, L-219. The tail of this well was drilled across
the OWC in the OBd sand to enable data collection across the OWC.
• Approval for an enhanced oil recovery project using Prudhoe Bay miscible injectant in
Orion was granted by the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission on April 28,
2006 in Conservation Order SOSA. The first water-alternating-gas injection flood began
in October, 2006. Currently, MI is being injected into 6 Orion wells, V-210, V-211, V-
212, V-214, V-215 and. V-218.
• MI injection profiles have been run L-213, V-210, V-211, V-214 and V-216. This data
will be used to calibrate models of the MI flood and adjust future injection strategy.

•
•
• Multi-zone injector V-2231 became the initial completion of an Orion well in the OBe
sand. This injection interval will be sampled for future geochemical allocation of offset
production. It will then be then be left SI until offset production is established in V-207.
• Afield trial of multi-phase metering technology was performed on V-pad in 1 Q 2008.
Data from this trial is used to complete select phase engineering analysis for
improvements in well testing on L and V pads.
• Production heater installed at Z-pad with start-up in June, 2008.
• GC2 D-bank modifications began in May 2008 for improved separation.
• Two matrix bypass events (MBE) were identified during this reporting period:
o An MBE was identified in V-222 in the OA sand on February 26, 2008 using the
sandface gauge. Continued monitoring indicated that V-222 was in direct
communication with V-202. Initial OA pressure in V-222 was 1285 psi. This
may have indicated proximity to the original V-201 MBE or to another wormhole.
o An MBE between V-216 and V-204 was suspected due to rapid MI breakthrough
and confirmed with an interference test on March 22, 2008. Location of the MBE
is in the OBa sand. Timing of the actual MBE is uncertain, but should be
subsequent to installation of waterflood regulators in September of 2006.
• Average producer uptime during the reporting period was 71 %. L-200 has been
problematic, and is currently SI until the GC2 D-bank cleanout is complete. On-time for
the other producers ranged from 74% to 87%.
4.0 PLAN OF DEVELOPMENT
4.1 RESERVOIR MANAGEMENT
Orion is being developed with primary depletion and enhanced recovery. A MI flood is
underway in Polygon 2.
Water injection began in December 2003. Water rate is down since the last report
reflecting injector swaps to MI. Individual well injection rates range from 300 to 1200
bwpd, or 1 to 3 MMSCFPD MI.
MI injection commenced in October 2006 in the updip portion of Polygon 2. During the
reporting period, several downdip injectors have been swapped to MI to test MI response
in the lower quality oil near the OWC.
The Orion Field is being developed with the emerging technology of multilateral
production wells, typically supported by two to three vertical injectors per producer.
Attachment 4 -Amended Orion Plan of Development and Operations 12
Amendment to Orion Pool Rules and Area Injection Order
• •
Some producers are choked back initially to manage reservoir pressure during early high-
rate flush production.
Currently, the Orion reservoir is being produced from six Schrader Bluff sands (Nb, OA,
OBa, OBb, OBc, & OBd). A lateral in V-207 is planned to establish offtake from a
seventh zone, the OBe.
Because of the variability in sand and oil quality between zones, reservoir surveillance
work has been undertaken to develop a better understanding of the reservoir performance
by zone and design a development program to maximize recovery. For producers,
production allocation efforts focus on using geochemical fingerprinting analysis on
produced oil. This technique is in use world-wide and has proven useful in the Schrader
Bluff fields, KRU West Sak and Milne Point. The complex nature of multilateral designs
makes conventional production logging for zonal contribution difficult, so this
fingerprinting technique is very useful. For injectors, efforts include injection logging and
zonal control using flow regulators. Work is ongoing to balance waterflood pattern
voidage and provide pressure support.
Field pressure measurements are collected per AOGCC CO 585.5 and submitted with the
annual surveillance report.
4.2 DEVELOPMENT DRILLING
Five development wells (one high angle injector and 4 vertical injectors) were drilled
during the reporting period and are listed in Attachment 2. An updated Orion structure
map incorporating recent drilling is included in confidential Attachment 5. Downhole
MDT fluid sampling was performed on L-219. A well profile depicting the MDT sample
points is shown in confidential Attachment 6 and the MDT pressure and APT gravity data
results are shown in confidential Attachment 7.
N and O sand coring is in progress on multilateral producer L-205.
Up to seven additional development wells (2 producers and 5 injectors) from L-Pad and
V-Pad are being evaluated and maybe drilled through 2009. Drilling of additional high
angle injectors V-224, and V-227 will depend on successful coiled tubing deployment of
waterflood regulators in L-219. Approximate coordinates for the 2008-2009 drilling
program under evaluation are listed below, and shown in Attachment 1. Also included
are wells listed in the previous 2008 POD.

4.3 PRODUCTION ALLOCATION
Orion production allocation is being performed according to the PBU Western Satellite
Production Metering Plan. Allocation relies on performance curves to determine the daily
theoretical production from each well. The GC-2 allocation factor is applied to adjust the
total Orion production. At least one well test per month is used to check the performance
curves and to verify system performance. No NGLs are allocated to Orion.
4.4 PROJECTS
Schrader Bluff viscous oil production has affected GC-2 operation by a decrease in the
inlet separation temperature, an increase in composite oil viscosity, an increase in the
amount of solids entering the plant, and the introduction of overly stable emulsion layers
formed by the mixture of formation fluids, solids, and oil-based drilling mud. Changes to
GC-2 operations to deal with these challenges have been made in three areas: heat,
chemicals, and hygiene.
Added heat reduces viscosities, improves oil /water separation, and reduces required in-
vessel residence times. Heat is added in the form of hotter, light-oil-related oil and water
production with additional process heat. Plant testing has resulted in a new regimen of
chemicals to break emulsions. Improving plant hygiene involves keeping vessels free of
solids to maximize in-vessel residence times which allow fluids to separate properly. To
help accomplish this, upgrades to the B-Train slug catcher and oil dehydrator were
completed during the September, 2005 GC-2 shutdown. Upgrades to the D-Train slug
catcher and oil dehydrator are in progress. Emulsion handling upgrades are also in
progress.

C
A production heater has been installed on Z-Pad, which will handle the oil from L- and
V- Pads and raise the temperature of the colder viscous oil to improve separation
performance. The heater was put in service on 6/4/2008.
Minor gravel pad expansion maybe needed to support the drilling program discussed in
Section 4.2.
Define Engineering has been completed for the potential installation of a gas partial
processing plant (GPP) at Z-Pad. Gravel installation for GPP has been completed at Z-
Pad. The GPP would increase oil production by expansion of existing gas handling
capacity and of pipeline infrastructure in the western region. The long-lead materials
order for the GPP turbine compressor unit was placed in July 2007. The GPP sea-lift is
currently estimated for 2011, with a startup in 2012.
I-Pad Define Engineering has been completed based on a new surface location. This
resolves the geotechnical concerns raised by the discovery of the ice lens last year.
Development of I-pad is currently under evaluation.

Pursuant to Section 9.1 of the Prudhoe Bay Unit Agreement and Section 1.003 of the
Prudhoe Bay Unit Operating Agreement, BP Exploration (Alaska), Inc., acting in its capacity
as Operator of the Prudhoe Bay Unit, hereby gives notice of the proposed enlargement of the
Prudhoe Bay Unit Area to encompass proposed expansion to the Orion Participating Area.
The proposed effective date for the enlargements is the first day of the calendar month
following the date of the final approval of the enlargements by the Alaska Department of
Natural Resources.
The leases or portion of leases contemplated for inclusion in the Prudhoe Bay Unit Area
("Enlargement Areas") are listed on Exhibit A and depicted on Exhibit B, both of which are
attached hereto and incorporated herein.
As provided by Section 9.1 of the Prudhoe Bay Unit Agreement, the tracts included in the
Enlargement Areas have been reasonably determined to be within the Orion Reservoir, a
portion of which is within the Prudhoe Bay Unit Area. The inclusion of the Enlargement
Areas in the Prudhoe Bay Unit Area will enable the timely development of the Orion
Reservoir by facilitating the sharing of existing Prudhoe Bay Unit facilities. The expansion
of the Prudhoe Bay Unit Area to include the Enlargement Areas will promote conservation of
natural resources, promote the prevention of economic and physical waste, and will protect
all parties, including the State of Alaska. The expansion also provides for the protection of
Attachment 17 -Notice of Intent 64

• •
the environment through planned development that optimizes the use of existing facilities
and prevents unnecessary duplication of facilities.
Pursuant to Section 9.1(b) of the Prudhoe Bay Unit Agreement, any interested party may file
with the Unit Operator written objections, and reasons therefore, to the proposed
enlargements within thirty (30) days of the date this Notice was mailed.
If you have any comments or questions, please contact Sherri Gould at (907) 564-5492.
Sincerely,
Mike Utsler
