STATE OF ALASKA
ALASKA OIL AND GAS CONSERVATION COMMISSION
333 West 7th Avenue, Suite 100
Anchorage, Alaska 99501
Re: THE APPLICATION OF FOREST ) Enhanced Recovery Injection Order No.2
OIL CORPORATION for an order )
authorizing a pilot waterflood pro- ) Redoubt Unit
ject designed to test the potential for ) Hemlock Formation
enhanced oil recovery in the Hem- ) Well RU-6
lock Formation, Redoubt Unit, Cook )
Inlet, Alaska ) August 26, 2004
IT APPEARING THAT:
1. By letter and application dated June 14th, 2004, Forest Oil Corporation, ("Forest"),
Operator of the Redoubt Unit ("RU") requested an order from the Alaska Oil and Gas
Conservation Commission ("Commission") to authorize pilot water injection into Well
RU-6 for enhanced oil recovery under 20 AAC 25.402.
2. Pilot projects for enhanced recovery may also be administered under 20 AAC
25.450(b) where feasibility of a process has not been proved.
3. Notice of a public hearing was published in the Anchorage Daily News on June 25,
2004.
4. No comments, protests or request for public hearing were received during the protest
period.
5. The Commission determined it had sufficient information as a basis for ruling, and a
tentative public hearing was canceled.
FINDINGS:
1. Operator:
Forest Oil Corporation ("Forest") operates the Redoubt Shoal Undefmed Oil Pool in
the Redoubt Unit, Cook Inlet, Alaska.
2. Proiect Location
The surface location of Redoubt Unit Well No.6 ("RU-6") is 1,909 feet from the
south line and 318 feet from the east line of Section 14, T7N, R14Wof the Seward
Meridian. The bottomhole location is 1,137 feet from the north line and 1,518 feet
from the east line of Section 19, T7N, and R13W of the Seward Meridian. The sur-
face location of the well is located on Osprey Platform, which is approximately 1.5
miles southeast of West Foreland, offshore Cook Inlet.
3. Operators/Surface Owners Notification:
Forest provided operators and surface owners within one-quarter mile of the proposed
area with a copy of the application for injection. The only affected operator is Forest.

Page 2
The State of Alaska, Department of Natural Resources is the only affected surface
owner.
4. Description of Operation:
Current development of the field consists of five production wells in the Hemlock
Formation. The Redoubt Unit ("RU") waterflood pilot project plan includes a single
injector, Well RU-6. RU-6 is an oil producer that has cumulative production of
177,497 barrels of oil through May 2004.
A pilot project of about 36 months duration is proposed with the following objectives:
o Determine the injectivity into the Hemlock Formation.
o Confirm that geological barriers will contain the injection fluid when injected at
injection pressures above fracture gradient.
o Evaluate injection influence on offset producers.
Data gathered will include:
o Injectivity in well RU-6.
o Production and injection rates and pressure.
o Rate and pressure response to injection in various wells.
o Confmement of injected fluids.
5. Geologic Information:
a. Injection will occur within RU-6 in the Hemlock Formation. The pool is being devel-
oped under statewide regulations and has not been defined in vertical or regional
space.
b. The Hemlock Formation resulted from fluvial deposition in meandering, coalescing
stream channels. It consists of interbedded fine to medium-grained sand and gravels,
pebble conglomerates, dense silts and occasional thin coal beds. Core from RU-2 indi-
cated a distal low energy depositional environment. There are six identified lithofacies
within the Hemlock based on conventional core analysis in Well RU-2. Porosity is in-
tergranular with well-cemented and competent rock. Clay volume ranges from 9-20%
of rock volume and appears to be dispersed. Reservoir facies consist of pebble con-
glomerate (porosity 7-13%), pebble-gravel sandstone (porosity 10-16%), medium to
coarse grain sandstone (porosity 10-16%) and fine-grained sandstone (porosity 12-
14%). Permeability ranges from 0.1 to several hundred millidarcies throughout the
reservoir facies.
c. Non-reservoir facies consist of very fine-grained siltstone (porosity 1-4%) and gener-
ally impermeable carbonaceous claystone and coals.
d. The injection interval is will be from 15,130 to 15,890 feet measured depth in RU-6,
the same intervals that produced oil.
6. Well Logs:
The initial formation logs obtained while drilling RU-6 are on file with the Commis-
SlOn.

Page 3
7. Mechanical Integrity and Well Design ofInjection Wells:
Well RU-6 was permitted, drilled and then completed in accordance with statewide
regulations. A cement bond log was run on well RU-6 that demonstrates good cement
integrity between the Hemlock Formation and overlying Tyonek Formation.
8. Injection Rates. Pressures. Fracture Propagation
The initial injection rate will be 2,500 to 3,000 barrels water per day ("BWPD") and
may vary according to production from RU wells. The operator anticipates the injec-
tion will exceed the withdrawals from the area of influence offsetting the injector.
Pressure support is anticipated at RU-l, -7 and possibly -2.
The injection pumps will be located at the onshore Kustatan Production Facility. To
account for friction loss, the maximum injection pressure planned for the RU-6 pilot
water flood is approximately 4800 psi. Forest plans to verify pressure loss when RU-6
is recompleted. The pilot water flood will be operated to prevent fracture of the
confming zone or the Hemlock Formation. Regulation 20AAC 25.402 (b)(11) requires
operation of the injection well at pressures less than that required to initiate or propa-
gate fractures through confining zones.
9. Type of Fluid / Source Water Analvsis:
Fluids requested for injection are filtered, produced Hemlock Formation water from
RU wells 1,2, SA and 7. The produced water source is the Hemlock Formation; there-
fore compatibility is not an issue.
10. Freshwater Exemption:
Hemlock formation water analyses submitted with Forest's application averaged
11,060 mgll TDS for 6 separate samples. The Hemlock Formation is hydrocarbon
bearing in the area of RU and produced water contaminated with oil and total dis-
solved solids (TDS) has no potential as a source of drinking water. Both ofthese char-
acteristics disqualify the Hemlock Formation at RU as a source of drinking water. No
aquifer exemption is necessary.
11. Expected Increase in Hvdrocarbon Recovery
Forest estimates primary recovery of oil would be about 6% of original oil in place or
about 3 million barrels to the reservoir pressure bubble point of 1,490 psi, without any
pressure maintenance process. The crude gravity is 26.5 degrees API and is under-
saturated with a solution gas-oil ratio of 250 scf/STB oil. Preliminary studies indicate
waterftood will increase recovery to greater than 20% assuming full field develop-
ment. Data acquisition on injection response and recovery benefits is an objective of
the pilot project.
12. Mechanical Condition of Adjacent Wells:
Well RU-7 and exploration well Redoubt State 29690 #1 are within ~ mile of RU-6.
Both wells were cemented satisfactorily to isolate hydrocarbons within the Hemlock
and in the case of Redoubt State 29690 # 1, isolation plugs were satisfactorily placed to
permanently confine any hydrocarbons to the Hemlock and abandon the well.

CONCLUSIONS:
1. The application requirements of20 AAC 25.402 have been met.
2. 20 AAC 25.450 allows the Commission to approve pilot projects for enhanced recov-
ery if the project will not result in an increased risk of fluid movement into freshwater
sources.
3. Mechanical integrity of the well was demonstrated at completion and conformed to
Commission regulations at that time.
4. Water injection is anticipated to significantly increase recovery.
5. Freshwater aquifer exemption for the Hemlock formation is not necessary.
6. Sufficient information has been provided to authorize pilot water injection into the
Hemlock Formation to evaluate pressure maintenance and the enhanced oil recovery
process, and to provide data to evaluate full field waterflood development.
7. Injection pressure will be less than fracture gradient of the confining zone. Forest in-
tends to establish injection operation limits during the pilot project.
8. Reservoir and well surveillance coupled with regularly scheduled mechanical integ-
rity tests will demonstrate appropriate performance of the enhanced oil recovery pro-
ject and disclose anomalous performance.
9. An annual report will keep the Commission apprised of the pilot project's progress.
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED THAT:
The underground injection of fluids for evaluation of enhanced oil recovery is authorized,
subject to the following rules and the statewide requirements under 20 AAC Chapter 25 to
the extent not superseded by these rules.
Rule 1 EXDiration Date
This Order shall expire September 30, 2007 unless the Operator applies to extend the test,
expand the pilot area up to a full field project, or abandon the pilot.
Rule 2 Authorized Iniection Strata
Strata common to the Hemlock Formation between 15,130 to 15,890 feet measured depth
are authorized for injection for pressure support and enhanced oil recovery injection.
Rule 3 Fluid Iniection Well
Well RU-6 is the only well authorized for fluid injection during this pilot project. Well
RU-6 bottomhole location is in Section 19, T7N, and R13W ofthe Seward Meridian.
Rule 4 Authorized Fluids for Enhanced Recovery
Produced water from the Hemlock Formation is the only authorized injection fluid.

Rule 5 Demonstration of Tubinw'Casine: Annulus Mechanical Intee:ritv
The mechanical integrity of an injection well must be demonstrated before injection be-
gins, at least once every four years thereafter (except at least once every two years in the
case of a slurry injection well), and before returning a well to service following a work-
over affecting mechanical integrity. Unless an alternate means is approved by the Com-
mission, mechanical integrity must be demonstrated by a tubing/casing annulus pressure
test using a surface pressure of 1500 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. The Commission must be notified at least 24
hours in advance to enable a representative to witness mechanical integrity tests.
Rule 6 Pilot Proiect Surveillance
Prior to initiating injection, a baseline temperature survey within RU-6 is required from
above the Hemlock Formation to total depth of the well. Within 60 days after injection
begins, a step rate test is required. The need for subsequent temperature or step rate tests
shall depend on injection performance or notable performance anomalies. Information
gathered from the pilot, including daily wellhead injection pressures and rates, results of
injection surveys, shall be monitored and provided monthly to the Commission until the
maximum surface pressure is determined by a step-rate test.
In addition to reporting requirements of 20 AAC 25.432 (1) an annual progress report of
pilot operations shall be submitted within 90 days of the project startup anniversary and
annually thereafter. The progress report shall contain information regarding project pa-
rameters including but not limited to:
a. Reservoir V oidage balance within the project area.
b. Analysis of pressure response and production response.
c. Analysis of injection performance.
d. Analysis of fluid containment surveys, step-rate tests or MIT's that would demonstrate
confinement of injected fluids.
e. Review of any specialized tests performed to gauge performance and results of the pi-
lot project.
Rule 7 Notification of Improper Class II Iniection
Injection of fluids other than produced water from the Hemlock formation is considered
improper Class II injection. Upon discovery of such an event, the operator must immedi-
ately suspend injection, notify the Commission, and provide details of the operation. Ad-
ditional notification requirements of any other State or Federal agency remain the opera-
tor's responsibility.
Rule 8 Well Intee:ritv Failure and Confinement
Whenever any pressure communication, leakage or lack of injection zone isolation is indi-
cated by injection rate, operating pressure observation, test, survey, log, or other evidence,
the operator shall immediately notify the Commission and submit a plan of corrective ac-
tion 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 in-
jection wells indicating well integrity failure or lack of injection zone isolation.
The Commission may suspend, revoke, or modify this authorization if injected fluids fail
to be confined within the designated injection strata.
Rule 9 Administrative Actions
Unless notice and public hearing is otherwise required, the Commission may administra-
tively waive or amend any rule stated above 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 fluid movement outside of the authorized injection zone.

AS 31.05.080 provides that within 20 days after receipt of written notice of the entry of an order, a person affected by it Month file with
the Commission an application for rehearing. A request for rehearing must be received by 4:30 PM on the 23rd day following the date
of the order, or next working day if a holiday or weekend, to be timely filed. The Commission shall grant or refuse the application in
whole or in part within 10 days. The Commission can refuse an application by not acting on it within the lO-day period. An affected
person has 30 days from the date the Commission refuses the application or mails (or otherwise distributes) an order upon rehearing,
both being the final order of the Commission, to appeal the decision to Superior Court. Where a request for rehearing is denied by non-
action of the Commission, the 30-day period for appeal to Superior Court runs from the date on which the request is deemed denied
(i.e., lOth day after the application for rehearing was filed).

ADMINISTRATIVE APPROVAL ERO 2.001A
Re: The application from Forest Oil Corporation to inject non-hazardous fluids for
Class II enhanced oil recovery in the Redoubt Unit, Redoubt Shoal Undefined Oil
Pool, Cook Inlet, Alaska.
Mr. Bob Elder
HSE Manager
Forest Oil Corporation
310 K Street
Anchorage, AK 99501
Dear Mr. Elder:
Forest Oil Corporation ("Forest") requested by letter dated November 5, 2004
authorization to inject non-hazardous fluids from several sources into Class II
enhanced oil recovery ("EOR") wells in the Redoubt Shoal Undefined Oil Pool. The
Commission may authorize the injection of fluid for EOR purposes if it is appropriate for
enhanced recovery. The non-hazardous fluid sources are: treated sanitary waste,
treated gray water from camp or platform facilities, produced water from the West
McArthur River Unit, and storm water collected in secondary containment areas at the
Kustatan and West McArthur River Unit Production Facilities. Forest contends addition
of these fluids to EOR injection streams will provide beneficial use for oil recovery.
Additional information regarding fluids compatibility and potential mixing ratios was
requested by the Commission and provided by Forest by letter dated May 6,2005.
An Administrative Approval, Enhanced Recovery Injection Order ("ERO") 2.001 was
issued to Forest on June 13, 2005. By supplemental letter dated June 20, 2005 Forest
also requested inclusion of deck drainage from the Osprey platform in the list of non-
hazardous fluid sources eligible for EOR injection in the Redoubt Shoal Oil Pool.
These fluids would normally be injected into the Class II disposal well (RU D-l).
However, the option to mix waste fluids with produced water will not be possible
because produced water will be injected as EOR fluid, there is only one injection
manifold, and the relatively small volumes of waste that are generated by the sanitary
waste treatment and storm water collection systems do not justify a separate manifold.
ERO No.2 authorized injection of produced water from the Hemlock Formation into the
Redoubt Shoal Undefined Oil Pool. Forest conducted tests that mixed proportional
amounts of produced indigenous Redoubt Unit Hemlock produced water and the
proposed wastewater streams (including deck drainage from the Osprey platform).
ADMINISTRATIVE APPROV&RO 2.001 A
July 14,2005
Page 2 of2
.
Results showed no adverse precipitation occurred with either individual mixtures or a
composite of all waters mixed together. The fluid streams will be blended with Redoubt
Unit Hemlock Formation water and injected in proportions ranging from approximately
0.2% to 1% (0.002 - 0.01) of the expected total injection volume. The estimated
maximum volume of the non-hazardous fluids injected per month would be
approximately 4,650 barrels (195,000 gallons) assuming peak seasonal volumes. Forest
provided the results of fluid compatibility studies that demonstrate the proposed
fluid/ seawater mix would not be detrimental to fluids within the Redoubt Shoal
Undefined Oil Pool. Treated waste used as a beneficial EaR fluid will reduce logistical
problems of handling and disposing waste at the remote facilities operated by Forest.
The Commission agrees with Forest's analysis and assessment that blending the small
volumes of treated camp gray water, treated sewage waste water, storm water runoff,
deck drainage and other Hemlock Formation waters prior to injection is unlikely to
impact the EaR efficiency negatively. The Commission further fmds that the blended
EOR fluids will not promote waste, will not jeopardize correlative rights, and will not
contribute to the potential for fluid movement outside of the injection zone.
Therefore, in accordance with the provisions of ERO No.2, Rule 9, the Commission
approves the injection of the following non-hazardous fluids by blending with produced
water from the Redoubt Shoal Undefined Oil Pool (Hemlock formation):

ADMINISTRATIVE APPROV AL ERO 2.001
Re: The application from Forest Oil Corporation to inject non-hazardous fluids for Class
II enhanced oil recovery in the Redoubt Unit, Redoubt Shoal Undefined Oil Pool, Cook
Inlet, Alaska.
Mr. Bob Elder
HSE Manager
Forest Oil Corporation
310 K Street
Anchorage, AK 99501
Dear Mr. Elder:
Forest Oil Corporation ("Forest") has requested by letter dated November 5, 2004 authorization
to inject non-hazardous fluids from several sources into Class II enhanced oil recovery ("EaR")
wells in the Redoubt Shoal Undefined Oil Pool. The non-hazardous fluid sources are: treated
sanitary waste, gray water from camp or platform facilities, produced water from the West
McArthur River Unit, and storm water collected in secondary containment areas at the Kustatan
and West McArthur River Unit Production Facilities. Forest contends addition of these fluids to
EaR injection streams will provide beneficial use for oil recovery.
These fluids would normally be injected into the Class II disposal well (RU D-1), however, the
option to mix waste fluids with produced water will not be possible because produced water will
be injected as EaR fluid, there is only one injection manifold, and the relatively small volumes
of waste that are generated by the sanitary waste treatment and storm water collection systems do
not justify a separate manifold.
The Commission may authorize the injection of fluid for EaR purposes if it is appropriate for
enhanced recovery. Additional information regarding fluids compatibility and potential mixing
ratios was requested by the Commission and provided by Forest by letter dated May 6, 2005.
Enhanced Recovery Order No. 2 authorized injection of produced water from the Hemlock
Formation into the Redoubt Shoal Undefined Oil Pool. Forest conducted tests that mixed
proportional amounts of produced indigenous Redoubt Unit Hemlock produced water and the
proposed wastewater steams. Results showed no adverse precipitation occurred either with
individual mixtures or a composite of all waters mixed together. The fluid streams will be
blended with Redoubt Unit Hemlock Formation water and injected in proportions ranging from
approximately 0.2% to 1 % (0.002 - 0.01) of the expected total injection volume. The estimated
ADMINISTRATIVE APPRO. ERa 2.001
June 13,2005
Page 2 of2
e
maximum volume of the non-hazardous fluids injected per month would be approximately 4,650
barrels (195,000 gallons) assuming peak seasonal volumes. Forest provided the results of fluid
compatibility studies that demonstrate the proposed fluid/seawater mix would not be detrimental
to fluids within the Redoubt Shoal Undefined Oil Pool. Treated waste used as a beneficial EaR
fluid will reduce logistical problems of handling and disposing waste at the remote facilities
operated by Forest.
The Commission agrees with Forest's analysis and assessment that blending the small volumes
of treated camp gray water, treated sewage waste water, storm water runoff, and other Hemlock
Formation waters prior to injection is unlikely to impact the EaR efficiency negatively. The
Commission further finds that the blended EaR fluids will not promote waste, jeopardize
correlative rights, and will not contribute to the potential for fluid movement outside of the
injection zone.
Therefore, in accordance with the provisions of Enhanced Recovery Order No.2, Rule 4, the
Commission approves the injection of the following non-hazardous fluids by blending with
existing Class II fluids used for EaR: treated sanitary waste (formerly approved for Class II
disposal), treated gray water from platform and camp living facilities, produced Hemlock
Formation water from the West McArthur River Oil Pool, and storm water from secondary
containment areas at Kustatan and from the West McArthur Production Facility in addition to
the fluids approved by ERO No.2. As a condition of this approval, Forest must continue to
collect and analyze representative samples of the mixed fluid stream at Redoubt Unit injection
manifold to demonstrate its nonhazardous characteristics and its continued suitability for EaR
injection. Analytical results shall be retained according to the provisions of 20 AAC 25.310.
Volumes shall be incorporated into the monthly (Form 10-406) and annual (Form 10-413)
injection reports.

Re: The application from Forest Oil Corporation to inject non-hazardous fluids for Class II
enhanced oil recovery in the Redoubt Unit, Redoubt Shoal Undefmed Oil Pool, Cook Inlet,
Alaska.
Mr. Paul M. Winslow
Reservoir Engineer
Forest Oil Corporation
310 K Street, Suite 700
Anchorage, AK 99501
Dear Mr. Winslow:
Forest Oil Corporation ("Forest") requested by letter dated January 25, 2007 approval to
commingle West Foreland produced water with non-hazardous fluids currently authorized for
injection into the Hemlock formation of the Redoubt Shoal Undefined Oil Pool. Enhanced
Recovery Injection Order ("ERa") 2.001A authorizes a pilot waterflood involving injection well
Redoubt Unit 6A and lists the fluids currently permitted for injection. Produced water from
Redoubt Unit and West MacArthur River Unit ("WMRU") development wells is currently
authorized for waterflood injection in Redoubt Unit 6A. West Foreland produced water is
currently not listed in ERa 2.001A.
Forest's request to include produced water from the West Foreland field is approved.
The Commission reviewed results of a fluid compatibility study attached to Forest's request. The
study results included analyzing mixed samples of the produced water streams to be injected into
the Hemlock formation for total suspended solids and turbidity. Results indicate that addition of
the small volume of West Foreland produced water is insufficient to adversely impact the
Hemlock reservoir.
Forest indicates oil production from the Redoubt Unit has been enhanced because of the pilot
waterflood. However, recent mechanical problems in one Redoubt Unit production well have
significantly reduced the volume of produced water available for injection. Completion of a 4-
inch transmission line from the WMRU in October 2006 has made it possible to transfer produced
water to the Redoubt Unit to sustain the waterflood. To date WMRU produced water has been
diverted to Class II disposal well WMRU #4D because produced water from the WMRU and West
Foreland fields are commingled before injection.
ADMINISTRATIVE APPR.L ERO 2.002
January 30, 2007
Page 2 of2
.
The Commission finds that the addition of West Foreland produced water to the currently
authorized EaR injection fluids in Redoubt Unit Well 6A will not promote waste, will not
jeopardize correlative rights, and will not contribute to the potential for fluid movement outside of
the injection zone. Therefore, in accordance with the provisions of ERO No.2, Rule 9, the
Commission approves the injection of the following non-hazardous fluids by blending with
produced water from the Redoubt Shoal Undefined Oil Pool (Hemlock formation):
1) treated sanitary waste,
2) treated gray water from platform and camp living facilities,
3) produced Hemlock Formation water from the West McArthur River Oil Pool,
4) produced water from gas wells at the West Foreland field,
5) storm water from secondary containment areas at the Kustatan and West McArthur
Production Facilities, and
6) deck drainage from the Osprey platform.
As a condition of this approval, Forest must continue to collect and analyze representative samples
of the mixed fluid stream at Redoubt Unit injection manifold to demonstrate its non-hazardous
characteristics and its continued suitability for EaR injection. Analytical results shall be retained
according to the provisions of 20 AAC 25.310. Volumes shall be incorporated into the monthly
(Form 10-406) and annual (Form 10-413) injection reports.

RE: Temporary Extension to Enhanced Recovery Injection Order 2
Dear Mr. Winslow:
In accordance with Rule 9 of Enhanced Recovery Injection Order ("ERIO") 2, the Alaska Oil and Gas
Conservation Commission ("Commission") hereby grants Forest Oil Corporation ("Forest") a temporary
extension to the expiration date of this order from September 30, 2007, to October 31,2007.
On July 30, 2007, Forest applied to the Commission to convert ERIO 2 into a full-field area injection
order or, alternatively, to extend the expiration date ofERIO 2 for 12 months. On August 6 and 7, 2007,
the Commission asked Forest to provide additional information. The additional information was provided
on August 22, 2007. On September 12, 2007, the Commission asked for further information regarding
well integrity. This information was provided by Forest on September 14, 2007.
The Commission is continuing its review of Forest's July 30, 2007, application and the supplemental
information. The Commission anticipates completing this review prior to the September 30, 2007,
expiration date in Rule 1 of ERIO 2. Nonetheless, to ensure there are no disruptions in the ongoing
injection operations authorized under ERIO 2 (i.e., should the review not be completed in time), the
Commission is granting the 31-day extension to the expiration date of ERIO 2. Forest must continue to
comply with all the other provisions of ERIO 2 and the subsequent administrative approvals.
As provided in AS 31.05.080, within 20 days after written notice of this decision, or such further time as
the Commission grants for good cause shown, a person affected by it may file with the Commission an
application for reconsideration. A request for reconsideration is timely if it is received by 4:30 p.m. on
the 23rd day following the date of this letter, or the next working day if the 23rd day falls on a state
holiday or weekend. A person may not appeal this decision to Superior Court unless reconsideration has
been requested.

RE: Temporary Extension to Enhanced Recovery Injection Order 2
Dear Mr. Winslow:
In accordance with Rule 9 of Enhanced Recovery Injection Order ("ERIO") 2, the Alaska Oil and Gas
Conservation Commission ("Commission") hereby grants Forest Oil Corporation ("Forest") a temporary
extension to the expiration date of this order from November 30, 2007, to December 31, 2007.
On July 30, 2007, Forest applied to the Commission to convert ERIO 2 into a full-field area injection
order or, alternatively, to extend the expiration date of ERIO 2 for 12 months. On August 6 and 7, 2007,
the Commission asked Forest to provide additional information. The additional information was provided
on August 22, 2007. On September 12, 2007, the Commission asked for further information regarding
well integrity. This information was provided by Forest on September 14, 2007.
The Commission is continuing its review of Forest's July 30, 2007, application and the supplemental
information. The Commission anticipates completing this review prior to the November 30, 2007,
expiration date established by administrative approval ERIO 2.004. Nonetheless, to ensure there are no
disruptions in the ongoing injection operations authorized under ERIO 2 (i. e., should the review not be
completed in time), the Commission is granting a 31-day extension to the expiration date of ERIO 2.
Forest must continue to comply with all the other provisions of ERIO 2 and the subsequent administrative
approvals.
As provided in AS 31.05.080, within 20 days after written notice of this decision, or such further time as
the Commission grants for good cause shown, a person affected by it may file with the Commission an
application for reconsideration. A request for reconsideration is timely if it is received by 4:30 p.m. on
the 23rd day following the date of this letter, or the next working day if the 23rd day falls on a state
holiday or weekend. A person may not appeal this decision to Superior Court unless reconsideration has
been requested.

Files for Chapter ii to Facilitate a Restructuring
LONG BEACH, CALIFORNIA, Monday, March 9, 2009 - -Pacific Energy Resources Ltd. (the "Company")(TSX:PFE)
announces today that it and its wholly owned subsidiaries have filed voluntary petitions for reorganization under
Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware.
The filing was precipitated by the dramatic decrease in the market price of oil over the past flue months.
Combined with the Company's pre-existing level of debt related to past acquisitions and poor capital market
conditions, the Company's liquidity and cash flow is insufficient to operate its business and invest in its oil
producing assets to increase production. Faced with these constraints, the Company and its subsidiaries filed
petitions for reorganization under chapter 11 to facilitate access to an immediate source of liquidity as it works to
restructure its debt.
In connection with the filing, the Company is seeking customary authority from the Bankruptcy Court that will
enable it to continue operating its business in the ordinary course of business. The requested approvals include
requests for the authority to make wage and salary payments and continue various benefits for employees. In
addition, the Company has negotiated a commitment for $40 million in debtor-in-possession ("DIP")financing.
The DIP facility wraps and replaces two of the Company's three asset-based credit facilities and is being provided
by the lenders of the two credit facilities that are being replaced. Upon Court approval, the DIP financing
combined with the Company's operating revenue will provide sufficient liquidity to fund working capital, meet
ongoing obligations and ensure that normal operations continue without interruption during its restructuring.

Subject: ERIO 2-003
Jody,
On Wednesday September 19th I received a call from Paul Winslow regarding the review of their application to
convert ERIO 2 into a full-field AIO. He reminded me that ERIO 2 expires on September 30th and stated that if an
AIO was not issued by that time or alternatively ERIO 2 extended that they would need to shut down the injection
operations at RU #6. In order to accomplish this in a controlled manor they would need several days notice so
that other arrangements could be made to handle the fluids normally injected into this well. I fully expect that the
Commission will be able to complete its review and take action on the AIO request in a timely manner but
because of Forest's logistical concerns and Commission staff workload and Commissioner availability over the
coming week I thought it best to issue a temporary extension to ERIO 2 just in case the September 30th expiration
date could not be met. Therefore, on the Commission's own initiative I prepared the administrative approval to
extend the expiration date of ERIO 2 by one month.

Re: Request to Include West Foreland Produced Water in Administrative Approval
ERa 2.001A
Dear Commissioner Norman:
On July 14,2006 Forest Oil Corporation (Forest Oil) received Administrative Approval
ERa 2.001A from AOGCC granting approval for the injection ofthe following non-
hazardous fluids into the RU #6 Class II enhanced oil recovery (EaR) well in the
Redoubt Shoal Undefined Oil Pool:
1. treated sanitary waste
2. gray water from camp or platform facilities
3. produced water from the West McArthur River Unit (WMRU)
4. storm water collected in secondary containment areas at the Kustatan Production
Facility
5. storm water collected in secondary containment areas at the WMRU Production
Facility
6. storm water from secondary containment areas on the Osprey Platform (deck
drain fluids)
In October of 2006 Forest Oil completed construction of a 4" produced water
transmission pipeline which now makes it physically possible to send produced water
from WMRU to the Osprey Platform for injection into EaR wells. However, WMRU's
produced water (~2,000 bbls/day) is commingled with a small amount (~1,000
gallons/day) of produced water from the gas wells at the West Foreland (WF) Field.
Since produced water from WF is not currently authorized for injection at Redoubt Unit,
the entire commingled produced water stream currently must be injected into the Class II
disposal well at WMRU (WMRU #4D).
.
.
In order to obtain administrative approval from the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation
Commission to inject WF produced water into the Hemlock formation at Redoubt Unit
(RU), Forest Oil has conducted a fluid compatibility study ofthe produced WF Tyonek
water with the produced water from both RU and WMRU. This compatibility study
consisted of analyzing the three produced water samples, then filtering and mixing them
proportionally to the maximum expected rates/volumes produced and finally letting the
mixtures stand at 180 of for 48 hours. The mixed samples were then analyzed for total
suspended solids (TSS) and for turbidity.
The expected volumes of produced water from RU, WMRU, and WF at peak production
rates are shown in Table 1. Table 2 summarizes the results of the compatibility analyses
performed by SGS Environmental Services, Inc.
Table 1
Relative Volumes of Produced Water to be Injected for EOR at Peak Production
Water Source Est-peak BPD % of total
WF 47 0.78%

Total 6,047 100.00%
Table 2
Results of Compatibility Study
Sample Vol WF Vol RU VolWMRU Turbidity TSS pH
ID H2O H2O H2O (NTU) (ppm)
WF 500 mL - - 452 148 7.30
RU - 500 mL - 136 56.2 7.00
WMRU - - 500 mL 7.50 9.6 7.30
Mix 1 8mL 492 mL - 2.00 29.0 -
Mix 2 8mL - 492 mL 0.38 40.0 -
Mix 3 4mL 248 mL 248 mL 1.22 25.5 -
Once filtered and mixed (and let stand at reservoir temperature for 48 hours) the three
mixtures showed very minor increases in turbidity, 0.38 to 2.00 NTU (Nephelometric
Turbidity Units). Filtering of the water sources removes the suspended solids from the
waters, thus allowing the mixture to truly reflect the interaction ofthe water sources.
Similarly, the mixed samples showed relatively low concentrations of total suspended
solids (TSS), 25.5 to 40.0 ppm, after they were allowed to stand at 180 of temperature for
48 hours. In Forest Oil's opinion, neither the observed increase in turbidity nor TSS was
of sufficient magnitude to adversely affect the Hemlock reservoir at Redoubt Unit.
·/
/
.
Allowing the produced water ftom WMRU and WF to be added to the enhanced oil
recovery pilot waterflood being conducted at Redoubt Unit will have a very beneficial
impact on the oil recovery at RU. The current pilot waterflood operation at RU has
already shown a significant enhancement to oil production. Once initiated, the water
injection into RU #6 has resulted in a significant decrease in the production decline rate
of the nearby producing wells.
Note that the majority of the produced RU water that has been re-injected into the
Hemlock formation has come from the RU #5A well. The electrical submersible pump
(ESP) in RU #5A failed on January 7,2007 and the well has been shut-in ever since.
Thus the water injection into RU #6 has dropped ftom nearly 1,000 bwpd to
approximately 250 bwpd. Having the ability to augment the water injection volume by
using WMRU produced water (with minor amounts ofWF water) will help sustain the
waterflood enhancement project at Redoubt Unit.
In order to maintain the pilot waterflood operation, Forest Oil Corporation respectfully
requests an expedited review and approval by the Commission to allow WF produced
water to be injected into the Hemlock formation at Redoubt Unit. Thank you for your
continued assistance. Please contact me at 868-2131 if you have questions or need
additional information.
Sincerely,

Re: Annual Report for Pilot Enhanced Recovery Injection
Redoubt Unit #6
Dear Mr. Winslow:
The Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission has reviewed your annual report for the pilot
enhanced recovery injection operations in Redoubt Unit, Well 6. That report is dated June 30,
2006 covering the period March 7,2005 through May 31, 2006. The performance data provided
in the report meets the intent of the Commission's Enhanced Recovery Injection Order 2, Rule 6.
All injected fluids appear to be confined to the intended injection zone.
The next annual report is due July 1,2007. In that report, Forest should describe plans for
expanding the pilot area to full field, extend the pilot test (with justification), or abandonment of
the pilot injection project.
Sincerely,
à ,~.~

Re: Redoubt Unit #6 - Annual Injection Report 2005 - 2006
Dear Mr. Maunder,
This report is in response to the requirements for annual surveillance reporting on the
Redoubt Unit #6 (RU #6) enhanced recovery injection well. Enhanced Recovery Injection
Order NO.2 (ERI02) specifies that the reporting requirements of 20 MC 25.432 (1) shall be
submitted within 90 days of the project startup anniversary and annually thereafter. This first
annual injection report (2005 - 2006 Annual Injection Report) will cover the period March 7,
2005 through May 31, 2006. Subsequent reports will cover the injection period from June
1st through May 31st, and will be submitted by July 1st of the respective year.
First injection into RU #6 occurred on March 7th 2005, with continuous injection commencing
April 25th 2005. During the period of this first annual injection report, 550 Mbbls of water
were injected back into the Hemlock formation via the RU #6 well bore. Over the course of
this period, RU #6 has been operating within what we consider normal parameters and has
shown no sign of integrity problems.
If there are any questions, please contact me at 907-868-2131.
Sincerely,
v~n.u~

Memo to File

From:
Subject:
Sampling Requirements per ERO 2.001A
Enhanced Recovery Order ("ERO") 2 addresses the injection of produced water into the Redoubt
Shoal Undefined Oil Pool. On July 14, 2005 the Commission issued an administrative approval
(ERO 2.001A) allowing the addition of several nonhazardous fluid streams and exempt produced
water from other Forest locations by blending with produced water from the Redoubt Shoal
Undefined Oil Pool (Hemlock formation), namely treated sanitary waste, treated gray water from
Osprey platform and camp living facilities, produced Hemlock Formation water from the West
McArthur River (WMR) Oil Pool, storm water from secondary containment areas at Kustatan
and WMR production facilities, and deck drainage from Osprey.
Mr. Bob Elder (Forest; 907-898-2139) called August 16,2005 requesting clarification about the
required sampling program addressed in ERO 2.001A. The stated purpose of the mixed fluid
stream sampling requirement is to "demonstrate its non-hazardous characteristics and its
continued suitability for EaR injection". The sampling point referenced in ERa 2.001A is the
Redoubt Unit injection manifold. Mr. Elder's specific request was to clarify that the sampling
program could be prior to commingling with produced water. His concern was even though
produced water is an exempt fluid it could exhibit hazardous characteristics as noted in 40 CFR
261 (namely toxicity) and could therefore render the entire mixture hazardous.
The following was considered in reviewing Mr. Elder's concerns:
The Commission's intent of requiring sampling (to ensure the additional fluid streams do
not exhibit hazardous characteristics);
EPA 530-K-01-004, "Exemption of Oil and Gas Exploration and Production Wastes from
Federal Hazardous Waste Regulations" (provides some guidance regarding mixtures-
"mixing a non-hazardous waste (exempt or non-exempt) with an exempt waste results in
a mixture that is also exempt").
Mr. Elder responded to my inquiries about the disposition of produced water from the WMR Oil
Pool on August 24,2005. He stated that none ofthis produced water has been injected to date.
In the future, WMR produced water would be transported to the Kustatan production facility and
introduced into the produced water flow line that goes to the Osprey Platform. This effectively
segregates all produced water from the other fluids approved by ERO 2.001A. Commingling
would be downstream of the sampling point, just prior to inj ection into Well RU-6.
Sampling Requirements P&RO 2.00lA
August 24, 2005
e
Because produced water is exempt from hazardous waste regulation under RCRA, the proper test
is to determine if the blended stream of additional fluids (other than produced water) are
nonhazardous.
It is my interpretation that the sampling point for fluid analysis should be representative of the
blended fluid stream prior to commingling with the produced water.
Mr. Elder was provided clarification on August 24, 2005 by email (copy attached).

Mr. Elder -
ERa 2.001A authorizes the injection of nonhazardous fluid streams in addition to produced water
from the Redoubt Shoal Undefined Oil Pool. The additional fluids authorized are treated sanitary
waste, treated gray water from Osprey platform and camp living facilities, produced Hemlock
Formation water from the West McArthur River (WMR) Oil Pool, storm water from secondary
containment areas at Kustatan and WMR production facilities, and deck drainage from Osprey. You
requested clarification about the Commission's stipulated sampling of the commingled fluid stream
being injected for EaR into Redoubt Shoal Undefined Oil Pool. The purpose of mixed fluid stream
sampling and analysis is to demonstrate its non-hazardous characteristics and its continued suitability
for EOR injection. You specifically asked about the sampling point, and suggested the proper sample
point should be before commingling the other fluids with the produced water.
The following were considered in reviewing your concerns:
1) The Commission's intent of requiring sampling (to ensure the additional fluid streams do not
exhibit hazardous characteristics);
2) EPA 530-K-OI-004, "Exemption of Oil and Gas Exploration and Production Wastes from Federal
Hazardous Waste Regulations" (provides some guidance regarding mixtures; i.e., "mixing a
non-hazardous waste (exempt or non-exempt) with an exempt waste results in a mixture that is also
exempt")
3) Additional details about the disposition of produced Hemlock formation waters from the WMR Oil
Pool (commingled with produced water from Redoubt Undefined Oil Pool, thus segregated from the
other fluids).
Because produced water is exempt from hazardous waste regulation under RCRA, the proper test is to
determine if the blended stream of additional fluids (other than produced water) are nonhazardous.
The sampling point for fluid analysis should be representative of the blended fluid stream prior to
commingling with the produced water to be consistent with the intent of the Commission-required
sampling and the provisions of the RCRA exemption.

Re: Request to Include Deck Drainage in Administrative Approval ERO 2.001
Dear Mr. Regg:
Forest Oil Corporation (Forest) has received Administrative Approval ERO 2.001 from
AOGCC. As you are aware, that approval is for the injection of non-hazardous fluids
into Class II enhanced oil recovery (EOR)wells in the Redoubt Shoal Undefined Oil Pool
from five sources:
1. treated sanitary waste
2. gray water from camp or platform facilities
3. produced water from the West McArthur River Unit
4. storm water collected in secondary containment areas at the Kustatan Production
Facility
5. storm water collected in secondary containment areas at the West McArthur River
Unit Production Facility
Originally, Forest requested approval to inject fluids from six sources:
1. treated sanitary waste
2. gray water
3. produced water from WMRU
4. produced water from the Tyonek Formation generated at KPF and West Forelands
5. storm water from secondary containment areas at KPF
6. storm water from secondary containment areas at WMRU
. .
Since the original request (November 5, 2004), Forest' decided that it would be. beneficial
to inject another non-hazardous fluid (deck drain fluids from the Osprey Plàtform) that
was not included on the original list. Currently, deck drainage is being disposed in
Redoubt Unit #D1 on the Osprey under authorization of Disposal Injection Order (DIO)
e
.
No. 22.001, issued June 19,2002. Forest also decided that it did not need to inject
produced water from the Tyonek Formation generated at KPF and West Forelands.
At the request of AOGCC, Forest conducted a fluid compatibility study ofthe fluids
intended to be injected. The results ofthe study were submitted to AOGCC by Forest on
May 6, 2005. Deck drainage was analyzed during the study, in addition to five other
sources originally requested. The cover letter on the May 6 submittal referred to deck
drainage as one of six sources that Forest wished include for injection into EaR. These
are:
1. treated sanitary waste
2. gray water
3. produced water from WMRU
4. storm water from secondary containment areas at KPF
5. storm water from secondary containment areas at WMRU
6. storm water from secondary containment areas on the Osprey Platform (deck
drain fluids)
Forest appreciates AOGCC's assistance in issuing the above approval but requests that
deck drain fluids be added to the approval. We apologize for the confusion created by
changing the original list to include this source.
Thank you for your continued assistance. Please contact me if you have questions or
need additional information.
Sincerely,

Re: Request for Authorization to Inject Alternative Fluids into Redoubt RU-6
Enhanced Recovery Well
Dear Commissioner Norman:
Forest Oil Corporation (Forest) operates the Osprey Platform in Cook Inlet. AOGCC
issued Enhanced Recovery Injection Order No.2 to Forest Oil August 26, 2004. The
order authorizes the injection of produced water from the Hemlock Formation into well
Redoubt Unit #6 (RU-6) for enhanced oil recovery (EOR). Forest intends to begin EOR
operations using RU-6 before the end of2004.
Currently, produced water is being disposed in Redoubt Unit #D 1 on the Osprey under
authorization of Disposal Injection Order (DIO) No. 22, issued August 9, 20001.
Subsequent to the issuance ofDIO No. 22, two administrative approvals to disposal of
other fluids in RUD #1 were issued by AOGCC:
1) DIO No. 22.001, issued on June 19,2002 allows the disposal of storm water
collected on the Osprey deck to be injected into RUD #1, and
2) DIO No. 22.002, issued on February 3, 2004, allows treated sanitary waste to be
commingled with produced water and injected into RUD #1.
By this letter, Forest is requesting the Commission's authorization to inject other waters,
in addition to produced water from the Hemlock Formation into RU-6 to assist in the
EOR project. The other waters that Forest is seeking an administrative approval to use in
EOR in RU-6 include the following:
1) Treated sanitary waste already approved for iniection into RUD #1. This is a non-
exempt, non-hazardous waste that would be more beneficially used in EOR than
discharged as a waste. Because all of the produced water from the Redoubt Unit
will be injected into EOR, sanitary waste will become operationally difficult to
inject into RUD #1 because ofthe relatively small volumes produced and the
existence of only one injection line manifold. Finally, DIO No. 22.002 requires
this waste stream to be commingled with produced water before it is injected into
RUD #1. This will not be possible once EOR operations begin.
.
.
2) Gray water. Gray water from showers, laundry, and sinks is a permitted discharge
under the Osprey's NPDES discharge permit. This, like sanitary waste, is a non-
exempt, non-hazardous waste that could be more beneficially used in EOR than
discharged as a waste. Before injection into RU-6 the waste stream will be
treated for solids removal by filtration through strainers.
3) Produced water from West McArthur River Unit (WMRU). Forest Oil does not
have an immediate need for additional water from WMRU for EOR but we would
like to have prior authorization to inject this into RU-6 as a beneficial use of an
exempt waste stream should the need arise in the future.
4) Produced water from the Tyonek Formation generated at Kustatan Production
Facility (KPF) and West Forelands. Beneficial use of this exempt fluid could be
made as a water source for EOR injection at RU-6.
5) Storm water from secondary containment areas around the tank farm at the KPF.
This would constitute a beneficial use of collected storm water that may, at times,
be commingled with small amounts of exempt fluids from the crude oil and
produced water tanks at Kustatan.
6) Storm water from secondary containment areas around the tank farm at WMRU.
This would constitute a beneficial use of collected storm water that may be
commingled with small amounts of exempt fluids from the crude oil and produced
water tanks at WMRU.
Forest respectfully requests the Commission's approval to inject the above fluids into
RU-6 as make-up water for the EOR project authorized under Enhanced Recovery
Injection Order No.2.
Please contact me if you have questions or need additional information.
Sincerely,

Re: Request for Authorization to Inject Alternative Fluids into Redoubt RU-6 Enhanced
Recovery Well
Dear Commissioner Norman:
In a letter dated November 5, 2004, Forest Oil Corporation (Forest) requested the Commission's
approval to inject six (6) alternate fluid sources (listed below) into Redoubt Unit #6 (RU-6) as
make-up water for the EOR project authorized under Enhanced Recovery Injection Order No.
22. As a follow-up to that letter and to subsequent verbal correspondence with AOGCC staff,
Forest has undertaken a fluid compatibility study ofthese various fluids. The first phase of this
study was to perform a complete water analysis on each fluid type (including Redoubt produced
Hemlock water). The second phase was to test the compatibility of each alternate fluid type with
the produced Redoubt Hemlock water to check for precipitation. The fluids included in this
study were:
1) Treated sanitary waste already approved for iniection into RUD #1. This is a non-
exempt, non-hazardous waste that would be more beneficially used in EOR than
discharged as a waste. Because all of the produced water from the Redoubt Unit will be
injected into EOR, sanitary waste will become operationally difficult to inject into RUD
#1 because ofthe relatively small volumes produced and the existence of only one
injection line manifold. Finally, DIO No. 22.002 requires this waste stream to be
commingled with produced water before it is injected into RUD #1. This will not be
possible once EOR operations begin.
2) Gray water. Gray water from showers, laundry, and sinks is a permitted discharge under
the Osprey's NPDES discharge permit. This, like sanitary waste, is a non-exempt, non-
hazardous waste that could be more beneficially used in EOR than discharged as a waste.
Before injection into RU-6 the waste stream will be treated for solids removal by
filtration through strainers.
3) Produced water from West McArthur River Unit (WMRU). Forest Oil does not have an
immediate need for additional water from WMRU for EOR but we would like to have
prior authorization to inject this into RU-6 as a beneficial use of an exempt waste stream
should the need arise in the future.

4) Storm water from secondary containment areas around the tank farm at the KPF. This
would constitute a beneficial use of collected storm water that may, at times, be
commingled with small amounts of exempt fluids from the crude oil and produced water
tanks at Kustatan.
5) Storm water from secondary containment areas around the tank farm at WMRU. This
would constitute a beneficial use of collected storm water that may be commingled with
small amounts of exempt fluids from the crude oil and produced water tanks at WMRU.
6) Storm water from secondary containment areas on the Osprey Platform (Deck Drain
fluids). This would constitute a beneficial use of collected storm and deck drain water
that may be commingled with small amounts of exempt fluids from the crude oil and
produced water on the Osprey Platform. Beneficial use of this exempt fluid could be
made as a water source for EOR injection at RU-6.
The first phase of the fluid compatibility study was to have a routine water analyses performed
on each fluid source. Attached to this letter is a report from BJ Services Company showing the
water analyses for the fluid sources listed above.
For the second phase of the fluid compatibility study, each of the six fluid sources was mixed
(proportionally to estimated monthly volumes) with produced Redoubt Hemlock water and let
stand for 48 hours at a temperature of 180 degrees Fahrenheit. The mixtures were observed to
see if any precipitate formed. Finally, a seventh mixture was observed, in which all six sources
were mixed with Redoubt produced water. Once again this mixture was observed at 180 degrees
for 48 hours. The following table shows the estimated monthly volumes of each source and the
volumes that were tested the seven tests.

Combine the seven (7) mixtures listed in the table above and:
1) Let stand at 1800 F for 48 hours
2) ObselVe and document any precipitation fallout
In all seven mixtures, no precipitates were observed when let stand at reservoir temperature
(180° F) for 48 hours. Attached to this letter is BJ Services Company's report on the phase 2
fluid compatibility testing.
e
e
Based upon the fluid compatibility testing, Forest does not believe that injection ofthese
alternative water sources into the Hemlock reservoir at Redoubt Unit will create a problem, thus
altering the waterflood response. Forest is thus requesting the Commission's authorization to
inject other waters, in addition to produced water from the Hemlock Formation into RU-6 to
assist in the EOR project.
Forest respectfully requests the Commission's approval to inject the above fluids into RU-6 as
make-up water for the EOR project authorized under Enhanced Recovery Injection Order No.

Enhanced Recovery Operations
Pilot Project Application
Forest Oil Corporation
June 14, 2004
There are two (2) wells with Hemlock penetrations within a 'l4 mile radius of the proposed injection
interval in RU #6. The top Hemlock penetration point for RU #7 is approximately 1,310 ft ftom the
top penetration point in RU #6. The bottom hole locations for these two wells are approximately 835
ft apart. Similarly, the top Hemlock penetration point for RU #6 is approximately 940 ft ftom the top
penetration point for the abandoned Redoubt Shoal State 29690 #2 wellbore. The bottom hole
locations are roughly 1,390 ft separated.
RU #6 is currently a Hemlock oil producing well, which will be converted to an injection well most
likely in June or July, 2004. The conversion is likely to coincide (directly proceeding) with an
electrical submersible pump (ESP) change-out on RU #2. This enhanced recovery application is
being submitted in order to obtain approval for injection into RU #6 shortly after its conversion of
servIce.
Note that all of the Redoubt Unit wells have been drilled directionally ftom the Osprey Platform,
which is located approximately 1.5 miles west-northwest of the crest of the Redoubt Shoal Structure.
Redoubt Unit #6 (RU #6), located in the "Central Fault Block" of the Redoubt Shoal Structure, is the
proposed injection well for the Enhanced Recovery Pilot Project. This is the only injection well
proposed at this time.
ill addition to the nine (9) Forest/Forcenergy Hemlock penetrations, there were three (3) more wells
drilled directly on the Redoubt Shoal structure in 1967, 1968, and 1976 (Redoubt Shoal State 29690
#1, Redoubt Shoal State 29690 #2, and Redoubt Bay Unit #1, respectively) and two (2) additional
wells drilled on the southwest flank or panhandle in 1967 (Redoubt Shoal State 22064 #1 and
Tenneco State 36465 #1). All five (5) of these wells were plugged and abandoned, prior to drilling by
F orest/Forcenergy.
Attached are two plats showing the location of all of the wells currently drilled on the Redoubt Shoal
structure. Eight (8) wells have been drilled by Forest Oil Corporation (Forest) and/or Forcenegy illc.,
of which five (5) are currently producing ftom the Hemlock reservoir (RU #1, RU #2, RU #5A, RU
#6 and RU #7). ill addition to the five producing wells, there is one (1) disposal well (D-1), one (1)
shut-in G-zero gas well (RU #3, which was re-comp1eted up hole ftom the Hemlock), and one (1)
suspended wellbore (RU #4A). Two (2) of the wells (RU #5A and RU #4A) are sidetrack locations,
thus the total number of Hemlock penetrations by Forest/Forcenergy is nine (9) wellbores.

The Hemlock formation is the only formation currently producing oil at Redoubt Unit and is the
proposed formation for this enhanced recovery operation. The description, depth, and thickness of the
Hemlock formation at Redoubt Unit and the appropriate geologic data including lithologic
descriptions and geologic names have been previously submitted to AOGCC as a part of the "Redoubt
6)
Injection Formations
The Redoubt Unit Hemlock oil pool is the only pool which will be effected by this proposed enhanced
recovery project. Injection into RU #6 is expected to support pressure and enhance the recovery from
RU #1, RU #7, and possibly from RU #2. The nearest producing well to the proposed RU #6
injection well, is RU #7 which is completed in the Hemlock formation from 11,633' - 12,168'
SSTVD. RU #1 is completed in the Hemlock formation from 11,680' - 12,292' SSTVD. RU #6 is
currently completed and producing from the Hemlock formation over the interval 11,696' - 12,304'
SSTVD.
5)
Pools to be Affected
This application is requesting approval to initiate an enhanced recovery pilot project to inject produced
Redoubt water into the RU #6 well.
Currently the produced water at Redoubt is disposed of in the Redoubt Unit D-1 disposal well, located
on the Osprey Platform. RU D-1 is a 8,611' (TD) vertical well with an approved disposal zone in the
Tyonek formation at 8,216' - 8,450' ft SSTVD. This injection well will remain operational as a back-
up for produced water disposal should RU #6 have mechanical problems.
Just prior to the electrical submersible pump (ESP) going down in RU #2, the water produced rate
from RU #1, RU #2, RU #5A, and RU #7) at Redoubt Unit was approximately 2,700 bwpd. The total
fluid production rate for RU #1, RU #2, and RU #7 (the three wells likely to be effected by injection in
RU #6) was approximately 2,400 bfpd. Thus it is expected that injecting the produced water at
Redoubt Unit will equal or exceed the total fluid off-take from the surrounding three wells.
Due to the relatively small number of Hemlock wells at Redoubt Unit, it would be uneconomical to
develop a more thorough injection pattern at this time. Depending upon the success of this Pilot
Project, more injection and production wells will be drilled in the future.
The Redoubt Unit field presently consists of five (5) producing wells completed in the Hemlock
formation. It is being proposed to convert one of these wells (RU #6) from a Hemlock producer to a
Hemlock Injection well. RU #6 is located in the "Central" fault block of the Redoubt Shoal structure,
Southeast and Northeast of RU #1 and RU #7, respectively. Water injection into the Hemlock
formation in RU #6 will primarily influence the hydrocarbon recovery in RU #1 and RU #7, but may
also help support the pressure and hydrocarbon recovery in RU #2 as welL RU #2 is located South of
RU #1 and RU #7, in the northern part ofthe "Southern" fault block.

Unit Hemlock Participating Area" (RUHP A) application. Excerpts fÌom the RUHP A application as
well as a brieflithofacies description follows:
Deposition and Stratigraphy of the Hemlock
The Hemlock conglomerate unconformably overlies the West Foreland Fm. and was deposited in a
much higher energy depositional environment. The Hemlock consists of interbedded fine to coarse
grained sands and gravels, pebble to cobble conglomerates, dense silts and occasional thin coals.
Although there is some disagreement as to the exact depositional environment of the Hemlock, it is
still essentially fluvial in nature. As to whether it was deposited in conglomerate fans shedding off of
structural highs, or was deposited in a wide band of anastomosing braided stream systems, is still open
to interpretation. In fact, the truth probably lies in a mix of the two interpretations depending on where
you are geographically in the Inlet. The Hemlock is the primary oil producing reservoir in the Inlet,
having yielded over a billion barrels of oil since it's discovery. It is also the primary target reservoir in
the Redoubt structure. The Hemlock conglomerates display porosities and permeabilities equivalent
to those in the West Foreland Fm.
At Redoubt, 520 ft. of conventional core was cut and recovered fÌom the RU _ 2 welL This core
displayed a much finer grain size than was expected and than what is found at McArthur River.
Overall, there are no boulder- or cobble-sized conglomerates found in the core fÌom RU-2. The grain
size of the sandstones is fine to medium and the largest pebble found in the core was approximately 2
inches x 1 inch x % inches. The depositional environment appears to be more distal fÌom the source
and have a great deal less energy than the fan-glomerates at McArthur River. The Hemlock appears
more uniform in its grain size distribution.
Overlying the Hemlock conglomerates is the Tyonek Formation. This section is characterized by
decreasing energy within the depositional environment and more uniform lithologies than were found
in the Hemlock. The Tyonek can be divided into two separate sections based on affinity for oil or gas.
The lower section, the G-zone, consists of interbedded sands, gravels and pebble conglomerates, with
some minor coal and silt interbeds present. The G-zone is an oil prone section on the west side of the
Inlet and in the Redoubt area. The upper Tyonek section is the Grayling Gas Sands equivalent
(McArthur River Field). This section consists of a series of stacked packages bounded by thick coals.
These packages consist of fine to coarse grained sands, and gravels with some interbedded silts and
coals. The coals within the major packages are thinner and discontinuous, with a great deal of lateral
variation. The upper Tyonek section was deposited in an anastomosing stream channels system, with
the typical overbank deposits and swampy areas associated with this type of system. The Tyonek
section displays porosities ranging fÌom 12-23% and permeabilities fÌom 50md to several hundred
millidarcies. With less of a variation in the lithologies, the reservoirs act more continuous in terms of
hydrocarbon flow.
Hemlock Lithofacies
There are approximately 6 identified lithofacies present in the Hemlock Formation at Redoubt Unit.
This was determined fÌom the conventional core recovered fÌom the Redoubt Unit #2 welL Porosity
within the Hemlock is intergranular and the rocks are well cemented and competent. Each of the
lithofacies displays dispersed clays ranging fÌom 9% to as much as 20% of the rock volume. This has
e
e
a direct effect on the fluid flow within the reservoir. The lithofacies, from coarsest to finest are as
follows:
Reservoir Facies
1) Pebble conglomerate - These conglomerates range from clast supported to very sandy and
matrix supported. Pebbles in this facies are well rounded, and moderately sorted, indicating a
considerable transport distance from their source. Porosities are relatively uniform, ranging from 7-
13%.
2) Pebble / gravel sandstone - This lithofacies is more uniform in grain size and is entirely matrix
supported. Porosities range from 10-16%.
3) Medium to coarse grained sandstone - Facies is moderately well sorted and is matrix
supported. Porosities range from 10-16%.
4) Fine grained sandstones - Facies is well sorted. Porosities range from 12-14%.
Non-Reservoir Facies
5) Siltstones - Facies is very fine grained, dense and generally non-permeable. Porosities are very
low ranging from 1-4%.
6) Carbonaceous Claystones / Coals - Facies is non-permeable generally have low porosities.
Cuttings within the claystones resemble coals, while log response does not. Actually coals give a
characteristic coal response on logs and in cutting.
Hemlock Reservoir Characterization
The Hemlock Reservoir at Redoubt is very heterogeneous both vertically and horizontally as seen in
the core form RU #2 and from wireline analysis. The Hemlock was deposited in a fluvial depositional
setting, comprised of meandering and coalescing fluvial stream channels. The channels sands can
anastomoze and stack, and are interbedded with the gravel sands, pebble conglomerates and overbank
deposits represented by the claystones, siltstones and coals. The source of sediments for the Hemlock
was from the west and north-west, with a depositional flow direction south and south-east.
Porosities in the sandstone facies of the Hemlock are between 12-18% , with some small sands
displaying higher averages. This includes the medium and coarse sandstone and pebble conglomerate
facies. Permeabi1ities in these same facies range from 0.1 to several hundred millidarcies. The
siltstone and very fine grained sandstone display lower porosities and permeabilities. This contrast in
porosities and permeabi1ities between the different reservoir facies can affect fluid flow within the
Hemlock reservoir.

7) Logs of the Injection Well
Logs are already on file at AOGCC for all producing wells at Redoubt Unit, including the proposed
injection well, RU #6. ill addition to all of the Redoubt Unit wells, the Commission also has on file
logs ITom the original Redoubt Shoal wells (Redoubt Shoal State 29690 #1, Redoubt Shoal State
29690 #2, and Redoubt Bay Unit #1).
8) Casing Program and Mechanical Integrity Testing
Attached are the current well completion schematics for RU #6 and RU #7. Both wells are completed
in, and are currently producing ITom the Hemlock Formation. Once approval has been granted, RU
#6 will be re-comp1eted to allow injection into the Hemlock formation. The current completion
intervals in RU #6 will be the same intervals injected into for the enhanced recovery pilot project.
Note that the completion schematic for RU #7 has been included in this application due to its
proximity of just under y,¡ mile ITom the proposed injection welL Wellbore surveys suggest that the
top Hemlock penetration point for RU #7 is approximately 1,310 :ft ITom the top penetration point in
RU #6. The bottom hole locations for these two wells are approximately 835 :ft apart. ill addition to
the completion schematics, the cementing programs for both RU #6 and RU #7 are provided in the
following pages.
RU #6 currently has 3-1/2" P-11O and L-80 (47 and 418 joints, respectively) tubing in the hole. The
injection string being proposed is a 3-112" coated 9.3# TSHP-CR tubing string. Note that prior to
injection into RU #6, a mechanical integrity test of the casing and tubing will be performed. Sufficient
notice will be given to the AOGCC so that a witness may be present for this pressure test.

9) Type of Fluid to be Injected
Filtered produced water ftom RU #1, RU #2, RU #5A, and RU #7 will be injected into the Hemlock
formation in RU #6. Since the water's source is the same Hemlock formation as the injection
destination, compatibility is not an issue. It is not known at this time what the maximum daily rate
that can be injected into the Hemlock formation at RU #6. Initial injection rates are expected to be
between 2,500 and 3,000 bwpd, which is the total produced water ftom the remaining four producing
wells. This injection rate will match or exceed the total production rate for the wells likely to be
effected by the water flood.
10) Injection Pressure
The Hemlock ftacture gradient is not currently known at Redoubt Unit. It is suspected that the
ftacture gradient is between 0.75 and 1.2 psi/ft, as demonstrated by other Cook Inlet Hemlock
reservoirs. Assuming a ftacture gradient of 0.75 psi/ft and an average reservoir injection depth of
12,090' TVD, the maximum allowable surface injection pressure to avoid ftacturing the Hemlock
formation is approximately 3,800 psi (0.75 psi/ft x 12,090' - 0.436 psi/ft Hemlock water hydrostatic
gradient x 12,090'). This maximum allowable surface injection pressure does not take into account
tubing fiction pressure loss. It is estimated that tubing fiction pressure loss for an injection rate of
2,500 bwpd, will be on the order of 500 psi, thus raising the maximum surface injection pressure to
4,300 psi. Actual fiction loss and maximum allowable injection pressure will be determined once the
injection string has been finalized.
Note that the pumps currently installed at Kustatan Production Facility, which will be used to inject
water into RU #6, discharge at 5,000 psi. Taking into a 200 psi pressure drop ftom Kustatan to the
Osprey Platform, the maximum possible surface injection pressure will be 4,800 psi. This pump
pressure will be choked back such that it does not exceed the ftacture gradient of the Hemlock
formation.
11) Protection of Freshwater Strata
The casing and cementing program practiced at Redoubt Unit ensures that no injected water will be
able to migrate above the Hemlock formation to contact any fteshwater strata near the surface. All
Redoubt Unit wells, including RU #6 (which is the proposed injection well), have intermediate casing
set at or just above the top of the Hemlock Formation. This intermediate casing is cemented to isolate
any upward movement of fluids on the back-side of the casing. Prior to drilling out the plug and
drilling through the Hemlock formation, the cement is pressure tested.
Once the Hemlock formation has been drilled through, a casing liner is hung and cemented across the
entire Hemlock formation. Cement bond logs have been run in all wells and copies have been sent
previously to AOGCC. Schlumberger's "Cement Evaluation" (attached) of the cement job in the RU
#6 wellbore (across the Hemlock formation) shows cement across the entire Hemlock interval, with
better cement bond at the top of the formation. Likewise, the cement bond interpretation in Redoubt
#7, shows good to excellent bond across the Middle and Upper Hemlock (with poorer bond in the

13) Freshwater Exemptions
Currently Forest has an Aquifer Exemption Order (AEO 7) for RU D-1, which exempts injection
below 3949' MD for a one-half mile radius around D-1. This AEO will need to be updated to include
the proposed pilot project area (most likely expanded to encompass the Redoubt Unit Hemlock
Participating Area). The Hemlock formation itself is not a rreshwater strata, so the exemption should
not be an issue.
14) Expected Incremental Increase in Ultimate Hydrocarbon Recovery
The crude oil being produced at Redoubt Unit has an API gravity of 26.5 degrees, a gas-oil-ratio
(GOR) of 250 scf/STB, and a bubble point pressure of 1,490 psia. Initial reservoir pressure at
Redoubt Unit was approximately 5,340 psia at a datum depth of 12,000' SSTVD. Recovery under
primary depletion of this relatively dead oil, is estimated to be about 6% of the original oil-in-place
(OOIP), rrom initial pressure down to the bubble point. The latest estimates for OOIP in Redoubt
Unit are about 50 MMbb1s of oiL Assuming a 6% recovery down to bubble point, the primary
recovery is expected to be approximately 3.0 MMbb1s.
Other Hemlock reservoirs in the Cook Inlet which mature water floods have achieved recoveries of as
much as 42% of the OOIP. Preliminary reservoir modeling shows that the Hemlock reservoir at
Redoubt Unit may be capable of 20+% recovery, given a sufficient injection pattern. The pilot project
of converting RU #6 to an injection well is being proposed to start gathering data on the
responsiveness of the Hemlock formation at Redoubt, to water flood.
15) Well Status (Mechanical)
There are two wells that have penetrated the Hemlock formation within If4 mile of the proposed
injection well (RU #6). One of these wells, RU #7, is currently producing rrom the Hemlock
formation and the other well, Redoubt Shoal State 29690 #2, has been plugged and abandoned. The
casing profile and cement program for RU #7 has been discussed previously in this application, so
will not be addressed again. As for the Redoubt Shoal State 29690 #2, it was plugged and abandoned
in September 1968. Records show that the abandonment of the well consisted of; 1) setting a 5" BP at
13,106' with 25 sacks of cement above, 2) setting a 7" BP at 11,525' with 25 sacks of cement above,
3) setting a 9-5/8" BP at 7,825' with 50 sacks of cement above, 4) setting a 9-5/8" BP at 2,037' with
50 sacks of cement above, and finally 5) setting a 80 sack cement plug at 180-400'. It is assumed that
a surface plug was also set to abandon the well, but our records can not verify this. In a letter dated 7-
26-91, rrom Amoco Production Co. to AOGCC, Amoco made the same conclusion as to the status of
this Redoubt Shoal well.
