Dear Mr. Myers:
Enclosed is the approved application for permit to drill the above referenced stratigraphic test.
1. Hilcorp Alaska, LLC (Hilcorp)'s request to waive wellbore surveys is APPROVED.
The well depth is very shallow (600 ft) 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 feet 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.
Permit to Drill: 220-039
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 5A.
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.
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
Dear Commissioner,
Enclosed in this letter for review and approval are variance requests for the attached Permit to Drill for Whiskey Gulch
5A shallow stratigraphic test well located near Anchor Point. Whiskey Gulch 5A is one of 7 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 June 1, 2020.
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 11
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'-20' 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 Kenai
Peninsula Borough 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
This Hilcorp Alaska, LLC stratigraphic test well program is a continuation from the 4 strat tests (WG 1B, WG 2,
WG 7, WG 10) drilled in November 2019. Hilcorp anticipates drilling an additional stratigraphic test wells to
complete the Whiskey Gulch program, 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 20
nearly identical stratigraphic tests for Hilcorp in 2017-2019. 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. Casing will be cut and pulled at —20' below ground level, then a V tubing string will
be RIH to TD, bentonite grout will be pumped until returns are observed at surface. 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.

DESCRIPTION ATTACHMENT
A
(PURSUANT To KPB Chapter
14,40.115)
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Use extra pages or provide pertinent attachments as necessary.
1. Brief narrative describing proposed or existing encroachment:
As hart of our natural etas exploration program, Hilcorp is planning a series of GCOIogiC WeII
Tests (also known as "Strati graphic Wells") during 2019 and 2020, Six (6) of these locations are
located within a KPB ROW. A geologic or stratig,raphic well is drilled for the purpose of
evaluating the subsurface geology. These wells will be drilled using a conventional water well
rip. Drilling is anticipated to take approximately 4-5 days per location. Each wellbore will be
approximately 6" in diameter and drilled to a depth of up to 850' deep with casing. During and
after the drilling. Hilcorp will lake samples from the drilling cuttings and collect other geologic
data. Aller drilling is complete, 1-Iilcorp will permanently plug and abandon the well and the
surface will be restored to pre -drill conditions. The well will not be for the purpose of producing
oil, gas or other hydrocarbons) or water.
2. Proposed design and method of construction (if applicable):
Upon completion of all operations the Perrrlit Area will be returned to Its natural
environment by removing all trail signs markers etc, and repairing all damage( if
any). All boreholes will be backfilled with drill cuttings or other locally available
material in such a manner that closes and seals the hole to minimize the risk to
humans, livestock and wildlife, All drill hole casings call be removed or cut off at
or below, ground level All drill holes shall be plugged by the end of the exploration
season during which they are drilled All drill holes shall be plugged witb bentonite
holeplug, a bense ll mud or equivalent slurry for a minimum of 10 feet within the
top 20 feet of the drill hole The remainder of jhg hole will be backfilled to the surface
with drill cuttings. If water is encountered in any drill hole, a Mlnimum of 7 feet of
bentonite holepluo a benseal mud or equivalent slurry shall be placed immediately
above the static water level in the drill__ hole. Complete filling of the drill holes, from
bottom to too, with a bentonite hojelplug, benseal mud or equivalent slurry is also
permitted and is considered to be the preferred method of hole closure
3. Proposed usage:
For evaluating the subsurface geology.
4. Identify all properties (other than KPB Right -of -Way) affected, served or accessed
by the proposed construction by owner name and parcel number:
None. There will be no soil or water contamination and the well will be properly plugged and abandoned. The well
will not be drilled deep enough to affect any water or soil In the area. No notice will be given other than an email sent
out to landowners who signed up for our mailing list. No one will be affected in any way by this project. Daytime
drilling only between 7 am and 7 pm.
