Huey,
Thanks for taking the time to talk about the differences you're seeing with the measurements as referenced to the
section lines. As stated in our conversation, we also found similar differences when comparing the projected GIS section
lines as acquired from the State GIS database. Because this survey involved surveying several section corners, we were
able to better estimate the distances from section lines and have reflected these, more accurate measurements, on the
surveys. As long as the "coordinates reported in box 4a and 4b" match RECON's signed As -Built documents, you can
proceed with confidence.
I appreciate having a thorough review of this data. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any further
questions or concerns.
Best regards,

Hi Cody,
I've received 4 well completion reports for Whiskey Gulch wells 16, 2, 7, and 10 and on each one the two location
coordinates reported in box 4a and 4b are not matching. When I enter the coordinate data into our database, it cross
checks both sets of coordinates to make sure they point to the same location and what is happening looks to be that
both the x and y coordinates for the state base plane are around 50-100 feet off compared to the calculated value from
the database, for all 4 wells.
Can you double check both sets of coordinates and let me know if there is an error please? Thanks

Dear Mr. Myers:
Enclosed is the approved application for the permit to drill the above referenced exploration well.
l . Hilcorp Alaska, LLC (Hilcorp)'s request to waive wellbore surveys is APPROVED.
The well depth is very shallow (600') and intent is to drill vertically.
2. Hilcorp's request to use standard water well drilling equipment that is commonly used
in the area is APPROVED under 20 AAC 25.037. The drilling rig will also use air
instead of drilling mud to remove cuttings which is also common. Due to shallow depth
and nature of the area conventional well control equipment is not needed or practical.
Rig will use a rotating head and large hose to direct returns to a tank.
3. Use of a diverter is WAIVED due to the shallow depth of the wellbore. As stated above
a rotating head system will be used as an alternate method of directing returns safely
during drilling operations.
4. Requirement under 20 AAC 25.120 to place a well abandonment marker on the casing
stub is WAIVED.
5. Hilcorp's request to use grout instead of cement to P&A wells is APPROVED. Grout
is commonly used to abandon water wells.
Additional Conditions of Approval:
1. Portable gas detection monitor (LEL) to be used on site. Minimum of 2 handheld
meters.
2. Well may not be drilled any deeper than 600' without written approval from the
AOGCC.
3. Photo document P&A operations: including casing cutoff, grout top and site clearance.
Dry ditch sample sets submitted to the AOGCC must be in no greater than 30' sample intervals.
PTD 2191470
Page 2 of 2
Regulation 20 AAC 25.071(a) authorizes the AOGCC to specify types of well logs to be run. In
addition to the well logging program proposed by Hilcorp in the attached application, the following
well logs are also required for this well:
Lithology log required in lieu of mud log.
Per Statute AS 31.05.030(d)(2)(B) and Regulation 20 AAC 25.071, composite curves for well logs
run must be submitted to the AOGCC within 90 days after completion, suspension or abandonment
of this well.
Photos and documentation from utility locates that demonstrate successful clearance of the drill
site must be provided to the AOGCC prior to spudding of Whiskey Gulch 7.
This permit to drill does not exempt you from obtaining additional permits or approvals required
by law from other governmental agencies, and does not authorize conducting drilling operations
until all other required permits and approvals have been issued. In addition, the AOGCC reserves
the right to withdraw the permit in the event it was erroneously issued. A weekly status report is
required from the time the well is spudded until it is suspended or plugged and abandoned. The
report should be a generalized synopsis of the week's activities and is exclusively for the AOGCC's
internal use.
Operations must be conducted in accordance with AS 31.05 and Title 20, Chapter 25 of the Alaska
Administrative Code unless the AOGCC specifically authorizes a variance. Failure to comply
with an applicable provision of AS 31.05, Title 20, Chapter 25 of the Alaska Administrative Code,
or an AOGCC order, or the terms and conditions of this permit may result in the revocation or
suspension of the permit.

Re: Whiskey Gulch Stratigraphic Test Well Program AOGAAA
Dear Commissioner,
Enclosed in this letter for review and approval are variance requests for the previously submitted Permit to Drill for the
Whiskey Gulch 7 shallow stratigraphic test well located near Anchor Point. Whiskey Gulch 7 is one of 11-15 shallow
vertical stratigraphic test wells to be drilled and evaluated in the Anchor Point area. The plan is to begin drilling
operations during the week of Nov. 4, 2019.
Hilcorp Alaska, LLC requests a variance from 20 AAC 25.035 (d) for utilizing diverter while drilling the shallow wells
required for the stratigraphic test well program. The basis for this variance is information gathered by Hilcorp on 7
previous stratigraphic tests drilled in Anchor Point and do not expect to encounter any over pressured shallow gas
zones.
Hilcorp Alaska, LLC also requests a variance from 20 AAC 25.050 for obtaining wellbore surveys due to the very shallow
wells being drilled for the stratigraphic test program. A sign will be posted at each drilling location with the well
information required by AOGCC.
The shallow stratigraphic test wells will be drilled with air and the cuttings will be captured in a tank as per AAC 20
25.047. Samples of these cuttings will be obtained every 30' for analysis. The cuttings will be sent to Kenai Gas Field
for disposal at G&I). Once drilled and evaluated the wells will be plugged utilizing grout and cut off 10' below GL to
complete the P&A.
Approvals from surface landowners have been obtained prior to surveying, staking and preparation of the site for each
stratigraphic test well. These approvals are included as an attachment in the form of an approved permit with the DOT
attached to this letter. Hilcorp will call the 811 dig line and obtain locates from the proper utility companies in the area
for each well. Pictures of locates or evidence of no conflict will be provided to the AOGCC before drilling. Care has
been taken to place drilling locations near access roads and to minimize location site preparation by utilizing a 35' x 70'
footprint.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me at 777-8389 (office) or 509-768-8196 (mobile).

Whiskey Gulch Stratigraphic Test Well Program
Project Description
The Hilcorp Alaska, LLC stratigraphic test well program will be performed from November 2019 to June 2020.
Hilcorp anticipates drilling 11 stratigraphic test wells, each up to 600' deep that will be drilled and evaluated
on the southern end of the Kenai Peninsula in Anchor Point. The area/program has been named Whiskey
Gulch (near Anchor Point).
The chosen contractor (Kraxberger) is very experienced in drilling wells in the area and successfully drilled 16
nearly identical stratigraphic tests for Hilcorp in 2017. Best practices will be utilized to drill and abandon
these shallow stratigraphic test wells. Casing will be required in the top 100' — 200' of hole due to formation
instability issues and will be drilled into place. The cuttings generated from the air drilling operations will be
captured in a tank and samples will be obtained approximately every 30'. These cuttings will be hauled to the
G&I Facility in the Kenai Gas Field for disposal.
After each test well has been evaluated, it will be plugged with grout/bentonite mixture as required to meet
regulatory requirements. Once a grout plug has been set to within 10' of surface, the casing will be cut off
and the hole buried to complete the P&A of each stratigraphic test well. Once all drilling and data evaluation
work has been completed, all locations will be cleaned up to the individual land owners satisfaction.
Permission will be obtained from each land owner for all activities on their property to include surveying, site
preparation, drilling activities, and data collection/evaluation of each stratigraphic test well.
The stratigraphic test well locations were chosen to minimize impact to the surface owners and the
community. The area required for each stratigraphic test well is approximately 35' x 70'. Should ground
conditions require, rig mats will be set in place to provide the drill rig unit and support equipment a firm and
stable work surface. The locations have been placed on properties, established roads and right of ways to
minimize noise and traffic impact.

To: Schwartz, Guy L (CED); Boyer, David L (CED)
Subject: Whiskey Gulch 7 (PTD# TBD) locates
Attachments: WG 7 Locate Photo B.JPG; WG 7 Locate Photo C.JPG
Guy/David,
Attached are the locate photos for WG 7, we have an Enstar line and an ACS line photographed, locates are nearly 50'
away from proposed well site. HEA called and confirmed no conflict.
We completed drilling WG 2 yesterday and will MIRU and begin on WG 10 today. We will not drill WG 3 this round, the
conditions have been too wet for heavy equipment to get around in that area.
WG 2 TD on 11/14/19
WG 10 Start 11/15/19
WG 7 Start 11/17/19 — permit to drill pending.
Log each well with CBL on 11/19/19 - try to get all in one day.
Begin P&A operations 11/20—11/24.
I'm not ready to withdraw the WG 1B permit yet, but it's not likely that we drill that one this year with our delays on the
KPB side of things.
Thanks for all the help!
Cody
