Amoco Production Company - Drilling Waste Reserve Pits
Final Closure Approval of 25 Inactive Facilities
The Alaska Desartment of Environmental Consem'ation (ADEC) has evaluated ,/our
co~es=ondence, dated Februav: 19. 1992. requesting closure of 29 .aa-noco Production Company
~.~ocol inactive reserve pit disposal facilities. Surface evaluations were pe,~ormed at the sites
in ! 989 and ! 990. T:2s corresvondence describes our review procedures, puts forward the
De:~trnent's findings, and takes action upon the closure request.
The 29 facilities were assessed by Aa'noco prior to the issuance of the ADEC Interim Site
-~ <sessment Guidance for Inactive Drilling Waste Sites, June t C~Ol. The ne:v Alaska Solid Waste
Reguiations. 18 AAC 60, became err%ctive January. 28. 1996 and contains a chapter on inactive
reset'ye pit closures ~I 8 A-kC 60.440). The closure criteria in the new regulations parallel the
closure criteria in the 1991 guidance document, and the review procedures require a discussion of
:he risk screening assessment as required in the 1991 document. Briefly, the significance of risk
to local receptors is evaluated through study of contaminant release, exposure criteria, and
conseauence criteria.
The i98%1990 Arnoco assessment program included acquisition of numerous (10-30)
shallow cores within and adjacent to each drill r~ad. sampling of the cored material at five-toot
intervais, and installation of monitorina ,.,,'ells on several facilities from which shallow
groundwater was encountered while coring. Total petroleum hydrocarbon t. TPH). B, TEX. and

Napamk Creek No. 1
Concern is expressed bv the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service over surface conditions at
Nar~aruk Creek No. 1. which appear to be impacted by abandoned drilling-related trash and
eaui=ment. Of particular :.oncem are references in the original assessment document to
drums, batteries, and sac:cs of dr-ilIinz mud and/or mud additives. Recent documentation
{'8/19,,'96'~ sur~otied bv Amoco to the ADEC demonstrates that further clean-uo was
?e:,'ormed after ',.he assessment date. and the de~ris was removed or disr~osed of properly.
Tinis ir.formation has been forwarded to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Se,vice for review.
Tvonek State No. i
Cohos:., is exaressed bv the Contaminated Sites Section of ADEC over potential
groundwater contamination fi'om buried rese~'e pit wastes at the Tyonek Stare No. 1
location, especially with freauent summer habitation of the site by Tyonek village residents.
Evidence from the i990 monitoring well data indicate substantial water quality, exceedances
with respect to c.hromium, lead. barium. TPH. and the BTEX components. Subsequent
analyses ::rom saint>les collected in 1991 and 1993 indicate the BTEX concentrations are
dimirushing: however, metal analyses were not reported and TPH concentrations appear to
increase significandv in 1993. Final closure approval of the reserve pit may be granted
under l $ AAC 60.4400)(5) -if the owner or operator demonstrates that water pollution in
the affected water body is dimimshing~. Therefore. it is requested that ,~d'noco re-sample
the two monitorin*_ wells to verify that BTEX. DRO. and metal c0ncentrarions are
dimimshin*_. Ac:.urate analyses of the metal and hydrocarbon (DRO and BTEX)

~';~;;-=- of~e seeciKc conditions.
Ahtna Inc. No. 1
Barium. TPH. and BTEX concentrations in soil core's from the .X&tna Inc. No. i site (core
'.ecations 5. 6. 12. !35 indicate drilling waste is present at or within a five foot depth within
tine reserve pit depression. Standing water occurs within .the depression in possible contact
with fine waste. Conseauenrly. closure of the reserve pit under i8 .<-kC 60..-!.40(j) requires
sarnpiing and analysis of surface water at the site as' specified in Tables C and D. Water
:'rom sends on the nor'& and south ends of the rese,,we pit and at background and down-
~.ame,t locations should be sam, sled. The analytical dam. an appropriate cmaiitative risk
assessment, and analysis of feasible corrective action as outlined in 18 :X_-kC 60..2.40(f)(7,-10)
are required prior to closure.
Chuima River State
Further information is required to reach a final decision on the closure status of the Chuima
Kb'er State location. Hi.~h concentrations of BTEX (Level A and B soil exceedances),
~ ~ H. and several me'als in the rese~'e pit chilling waste exist at or within .~-!0 ti depths,
and may contact the large pond of standing water. Groundwater from monitoring wells
around the pit identified variable ieveis of pe=oieum hvdrocartmns. Large concentrations'
..~-f TPH at station MW28 (TPH=58 mg.,'I) and MW9 ~TPH= t0 mg,,'I) were observed in the
~995 data. ti'he down-gradient occurrence at .MW9 suggests that TPH-denved organics may
be migrating outside the pit area. Groundwater metal anaiyses were not included. Surface
water analyses from the 1993 program identified trace levels of the BTEX components:
eievated levels of barium and lead ~'Pb=25 ppb) were detected in a 1989 surface sample.
The Desarnnent re=uests that further sampling and analvses of the resuired metal and
hydrocarbon components listed in Table D (18 AAC 60.440) be pert'ormed at the site,
utilizing analytical me~odolog7 specified therein. At least one surface water sample from
location SW4. and three groundwater samples from M-W9. MW17, and MW28 are
reauested. The Deparnnent recommends that you bail/purge the monitoring wells prior to
sampling and use a field-filtration method to eliminate particulates r'rom the groundwater
~i.e. measure only the dissolved metal concentrations'). Final closure approval of the site
should then be possible under 18 A-kC 60.4400)(5) if the contaminant levels are indeed
diminishing.
Final closure approvai will be granted after it is demonstrated to the ADEC that drilling
was:es within :he mis are not actively contaminating surface water or groundwater at the sites.

TEtLMS AND CONDITIONS
All of the above closure approvals are subject to the following terms and conditions:
Reserve Pit Facility Closure: The approval =re'anted bv th/s lener is for the inactive drilling
waste reserve mt facility, only, as required under 18 AAC 60.440. Closure for the pad as a
whole must be coordinated between the owneriopemtor and the appropriate state (ADNR.
ADF&G. AOGCC), or federal (BLM'~ agency. Additiona/ly, should any contamination from
h2stonc spiils be found on the pad outside the drilling waste site (reserve pit area),
notification needs to be made to the .<DEC Contaminated Sites Section (269-7659).
New Information: Should additional information conce,mmg environmental condkions at
the facility make 5.zrther actions necessary, to protect human health or the environment, the
Desartment rese:wes the :-ight :o reauire additional investigation, assessment,, monitoring, or
remediation at the faciiiw.

We are packaging for immediate shipment slides prepared from
samples of AMOCO Cathedral River #1. Also included are residues
from some samples where we had extra material.
These samples were prepared by Sonja Mulvane and Indira. Rao of
our staff. These ladies did a beautiful job in picking the faunas
and lithologies, and have produced a set of slides of which we are
quite proud.
A copy of our report on the well is attached.
Thank you for your cooperation in making this material available,
and for allowing us the time required to do a professional job.

SUBJECT: MICROPALEONTOLOGY REPORT
AMOCO CATHEDRAL RIVER UNIT #1
ALASKA PENINSULA, ALASKA
The AMOCO Cathedral River Unit #1 well ditch cuttings and core material
were sampled at the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission, (ditch
cuttings composited into 90-foot samples) and prepared in our laboratory
for microfossil analysis. Attached is a list of all intervals sampled
and examined -- 159 ditch and 5 core samples. In most cases there are
two samples to each prepared slide.
An analysis of the microfossil content shows the following general
results:
50-6170'
Upper Jurassic. Foraminiferal genera
present include: Bathysiphon, Ammobaculites,
Spiroplectammina, Haplophragmoides,
Trochammina, Gaudryina, Recurvoides,
Lenticulina, Astacolus, Dental ina, Eoguttulina,
Conorboides. Both nassellarian and spumellarian
radiolarians are present with spumellarians
dominant in numbers.
6170-?14,360'
Probably Middle Jurassic. Foraminiferal genera
present in addition to those listed above include:
Ammodiscus, Verneuilinoides, Textularia, Nodosaria,
Lingulina, Marginulinopsis. Nassellarian and
spumellarian radiolarians are present in most samples
and abundances of both kinds are very high in many
samples. Inoceramus fragments are present through
most of this interval.
Four core samples between 7405 and 7425 feet were essentially barren of
organic material. One core sample at 12,100-12,110 feet contained rare
arenaceous foraminifers', some nassellarian radiolarians, and fragments of
Inoceramus. Abundant pyritic fragments present may represent remains of
spumel~arlan radiolarians.

was tested via DST and initially flowed gas ac a rate of 194 MCFD and
this decreased to a rate of 10 MCFD at the end of the 12-hour flow
test. ISIP was 6354 psi and FSIP was 3811 psi.
In addition, a retainer will be set in the 9-5/8" casing at 7650' in
order that the zone 10,125-10,175' and the 7" liner top at 7768' will
be isolated from further testing in the 9-5/8" casing. Depending upon
· results of the up hole testing, the zone 10,125-10,175' may be abandoned
in the future by setting cement on top of the retainer at 7650'. Further

At 3:35 PM on July 9, 1974 Lloyd Chism of Amoco called to get verbal approval of the
following plugging and testing on the above well.
..s...tatus: A bridge plug was set in 7" casing at 11,915' with a 50 sx (284') plug on top,
Another bridge plug was set at 11,300t. A zone was perforated 10,975t - 11,0251 and
DST produced 193 MCF/D declining to 10 MCF/D in 12 hours. Initial SI pressure was
6,354 psi and declined to 3,811 psi in 12 hours. A 30 sx (155I) plug was placed on
top of a retainer bridge plug set at 10,870*. A zone was perforated 10,125t - 10,175t
and DST produced very little gas (poor DST results).
Prooosal: Set a retainer bridge plug in 9 5/8" casing at 7650' (9 5/8" casing set
at 8566~ and top of 7" liner at 7768~). Cut mud weight to 8.8 lb/gal. Block squeeze
7100t - 7500~ drill out perforate zone 7360 95t and run DST.
Amoco may decide to return to perforations 10,125~ . 10,175' for additional testing.
If and when this zone is abandoned they'll set a cement plug on top of the retainer
bridge plug at
U,$.G.S. has given approval to Amoco for the above proposal. I gave verbal approval
by phone this date, Amoco will submit a P-3 for formal approval. Further testing
and or plugging will be cleared with U,S.G.S. and us.

Re: Proposed Change of Plans
Cathedral River Unit Well No. 1
Attached is a completed Form 9-331 de~aiiing proposed Change of Plans
for Amoco's Cathedral River Unit Well No. 1. Our letter of April 1,
1974, File: GJR-193-WF, proposed to drill a 6" hole to approximately
14,000' after setting a 7" liner at 11,931'. We are now proposing to
drill to 14,750' and set a 5" liner at TD.
Please note that we plan to precede the cement with 200 barrels of
14.5 ppg mud to reduce the hydrostatic pressure at TD.to below 11,950 psi,
which is the collapse rating of the 5" 17.93# P-110 casing at 1.125 safety
factor. ~I~ Z~e ~": *-~ ~ ~i~ ~ f~7~o , ,/, v = /' z/
A subsequent report will be filed upon completion of the proposed work.

Dear Sir:
Re: Proposed Change of Plans
Cathedral River Unit Well No. 1
Amoco Production Company
P. O. Box 779
Anchorage, Alaska
Reference is to a telephone conversation this date between your
Mr. Thomas Marshall and Amoco's Bill Halvorson regarding Amoco's plans
to run casing in subject well. Attached are two copies of USGS Form
No. 9-331 detailing the proposed changes in the drilling program.
Hole problems which developed recently have resulted in the decision
to log and run caSing at current TD, some 569' above the TD proposed
by our letter of September 28, 1973, File: WMJ-522-WF. Please no'te
that we propose to reduce mud weight to 12 ppg prior to cementing the
7" liner and to set the liner packer at 7800' to cover all 9-5/8" casing
set below the theoretical collapse depth for 43.5# P-Il0 in 9.5 ppg mud,
assuming a safety factor of 1.125.
A subsequent report will be filed upon completion of this job. We
respectfully request that the content of the attached reports be kept
confidential for the twenty-four month period provided by State law.
Yours very truly,

Re: Monthly Report of Operations
Cathedral River Unit Well No. i
Attached are duplicate copies of Form No. P-4, reporting operations on
Amoco Production Company Cathedral River Unit Well No. 1 for the month
of November 1973. We apologize for the delay in submitting the November
report.
Drilling operations were suspended on November 15, 1973 following~ a labor
strike on November 8, 1973. After completion ~of negotiations between the
drilling contractor and the Alaska Roughnecks and Drillers Association,
a settlement was reached in late December and crews were back on location
on January 10, 1974. Attached is a copy of USGS Form 9-331, subsequent
report of resumption of drilling operations.
We respectfully request that the content of the attached repOrts be kept
confidential for the twenty-four month period provided by State law.

Reference is to our letter of September 20, 1973, File: WMJ-503-WF,
transmitting copies of USGS Form 9-331 advising of certain proposed
changes in drilling plans for subject well. We haVe recalculated
the casing design using safetY factors for collapse and tension of
1.125 and 1.8, respectivelY, and propose to run 9.5 ppg maximum mud
weight. Enclosed are copies of USGS Form 9-331 to replace those
furnished by our letter of September 20. '

SUX'•.ARY OF HISTORY
In late 1967, Amoco was given approval by the U.S.r,.S. to
form the Nelson River Development Contract.
In early 1968, Amoco began an onshore seismic pro?ram west
of the Caribou River and generally north of the David River fault
(Encl. 1) to the Bering Sea, in which 112 miles of: 600% seismic was
obtained. In addition, a geological field party was sent into the area
during the summer months in order to Lather litho-stratigraphic, paleon-;.
tologic, and structural data. -In the following year, 82 miles of 600%
t
seismic was shot east of the Caribou River to Herendeen Bay.
Prior to drilling any wells, Amoco entered into a joint
operations agreement with Standard of California covering the area north---.'
of the David River fault. Subsequently, three wells were drilled: Pan
Am David Riv er,#l-A and the Pan Am-SoCal USA Hoodoo Lake Units #1 and #2.
All three.wells were unsuccessful.
CONCLUSIONS
Jk
1. The David River fil-A indicated the presence of gas in the Lower
Tertiary and Upper Cretaceous and greatly expanded our knowledge
of the stratigraDhy.
2. Our optimum mappable horizon is an unconformity between the Miocene
and'Oligqcene based on well -to -seismic ties of the David River #1-A
and Hoodoo Lake P2.
3. The interpreted Cathedral River structure is breached to the Upper
Jurassic- Naknek Formation. The thickness and character
rocks which underlie this feature are unknown due to lack o nearby

SUMMARY OF EX' LCRj.TORY WELLS
The Dav'.d River Al was spudded on 11/6/68 in Section 12-T50S-
R30W, SM. Due to hole problems, the well was abandoned at 2300 feet and
the rig was skidded to a new location.
The David River #1-A was spudded en 12/30/68 and was drilled
to a TMD of.13,769 eet, with numerous mechanical difficulties involving
several whipstocks. The well bottomed in the Upper Cretaceous'Chignik
Formation and was PEA -on 8/14/69. The top of the Chignik was encountered
at a measured depth of 12,200' The strata drilled is composed of shale,
siltstone, sandstone, conglomerate, and coal, and is interpreted as having `
been deposited in .a, predominantly nonmarine to near -shore shallow marine
-' environment Sample oil and gas shows were recorded intermittently from
10,000 feet to TD The mud gas chromatograph detected methane through
butane while drilling this section.
Three drill -stem tests were run: two in the Lower Tertiary and
one in the Cretaceous. All three tests -flowed from 5 to 10 MCFGD and
310-548 EWPD. The waters are brackish with salinities of 6100-8900 ppm.
Due to mechanical. difficulties, the log quality was such that reliable
Porosity and water saturation calculations could not be obtained. A dip
meter survey was run cnly from 11,800 feet to TD. Lack of rPt;ahto
dipmeter and hole deviation data precludes calculation of true stratigr ohi.c
thickness.

mud, and sand. The well penetrated a basically marine, highly sandy
section with good to excellent porosity and permeability based on sidewall
cores, logs,`and drill -stem test results. The well was PEA on 1/9/70.
The second hoodoo Unit well was located approximately three
miles southeast of the first Hoodoo well. The objectives of this well
were to re -test the Lower Tertiary rocks, which had gas shows in the
David River #1-A, and to test the Upper Jurassic strata. The joint Pan
Am- SoCal USA Hoodoo Lake Unit' #2 (Sec. 35-T50S-R76W) was spudded on 2/13/70
and bottomed in the Lower Cretaceous -Upper Jurassic Staniukovich Formation
.at a TMD of 11,243 feet This well was PEA on 4/28/70. The top. of the
Oligocene is at a TMD of 2060 feet, which is 6000 feet higher than in the
Hoodoo #1 well. The base of.the Tertiary is at a TMD of 7770 feet and
overlies the Upper Cretaceous Coal Valley Member.. Three drill -stem tests
5
were run: two in the basal Tertiary sands and onein the Upper Cretaceous.
All recovered mud or water -cut mud, and a light oil scum was present in
two of the tests. The Lower Cretaceous Herendeen Limestone is tight and
sandy, and no shows were recorded. Approximately 1600 feet of the
Staniukovich For-mation was drilled and consists of a tight, feldspathic
sandsto.e-siltstone. Several andesite intrusives were cut, and the well
bottomec in a similar intrusive of Lower Eocene age. In its outcrop area,
the Staniukovich has fair porosity and permeability;
however,
well this section is tight. D ��

Dear Sir:
Re:~ Monthly Report of Operations
Cathedral River Well No. 1
Attached are duplicate copies of Form No. P-4 reporting operations on
Amoco Production Company Cathedral River Well No. 1. Please note that
the report for January through March is filed on one form as this time,
after receipt of the State permit, was spent waiting for approval-of
Federal permits. Earth-moving operations began in late April, but
actual drilling operations did not commence Until the current report
month of June. Future reports will be submitted on a monthly basis.
Since this well is being drilled on a "tight hole'' basis, we request
that information concerning it be kept confidential for the twenty-four
month period provided by Alaska law.

Re: Application for Permit to Drill
Cathedral River Unit Well No. 1
The original 7 inch casing design submitted on the State Form P-i,
Application for Permit to Drill, dated October 2, 1972, for the subject
well is being revised. The attached State Form P-3, Sundry Notice,
dutlines the proposed revision. The primary reason for the heavier 7
inch casingweight and the setting depth adjustment is to increase the
safety margin for collapse resistance.
This well is to be drilled on a Tzght Hole" basis. We respectfull~
request that information regarding the well be maintained in a conf~

We walked to the nearby stream and observed a steady flow of clean water
through a meanderlng channel perhaps I I/2t deep by 12t wide, but varlable
In celtss-sectlon of course. The camp~s water supply is expected to come from
this stream via aluminum pipe. The development plans are deslgned to protect
the stream from seepage, spt I I, or si ltatlon from the operation.
At 11:30 AN ~e took off by helicopter and flew northeast of the stream along
the beech about one mi la, observing somewhat more gravel on the beach surface,
especl a I ly concentrated on beach cusps. Then we returned to Cot d Bay, arri vt ng

The return flight from Cold Bay departed at 12.~50 and arrived at Merrill Field

Lower J 7000'
Triassic 9500'
B. Oil, Gas, Water or Other Mineral Zones
Potential hydrocarbon-bearing zones will be penetrat~ed from
surface to total depth.
C. Extraordinary Pressure Zones
Experience at the David River Well No. i-A, drilled to a total
depth of 13,769' in 1969; the Hoodoo Lake Unit Well 'No. 1,
drilled to a total depth of 8049' in 1970; and the Hoodoo Lake
Unit Well No. 2, drilled to a total depth of 11,243' in 1970,
in this same general area showed no abnormally pressured zones
were encountered while drilling. However, rig supervisors and
crews will be cautioned to remain alert at all times for indi-
cations of high pressure or lost circulation.
~Blow-Out Prevention.Program
A. Equipment and Specifications
20" 2000 psi Hydril will be used as BOP until 13-3/8" casing
is set. 13-5/8" ID 3000 psi working pressure, 6000 psi test
Double Gate type BOP with blind and pipe rams, plus 3000 psi
GK Hydril will be used below 13-3/8" casing point, as shown
in Attachment A-1. Designation of which manufacturer's equip-
ment will be used to be determined after selection of drilling
contractor.
B. BOP Testing Procedures and Frequency
Ram-type blowout preventers shall be tested to the rated .work-
ing pressure of the BOP stack assembly when initially installed;
before drilling out after each string of casing is Set; not less
than once each w~ek while drilling; and following ~any repairs
that require disconnecting a pressure seal in the assembly.
The Hydril- type blowout preventer will be tested to its rated
working pressure after initial installation, and to at least
50 percent of rated working pressure with the same test frequency
as the ram-type preventers.
-3-
While drill pipe is in use, ram-type preventers will be actu-
ated once each trip to test for proper functioning. The Hydril-
type blowout preventer will be closed on the drill pipe at least
once each week to test for proper functioning.
Rig supervisor will schedule BOP drills to familiarize crews
with operation of BOP equipment.

Drilling Fluid Program
A. For Depth Interval O- 2000':
Plan to use bentonite-fresh water low solids non-dispersed mud
system, utilizing Amoco Drillaid 420.
B. For Depth Interval 2000'-10,000':
Plan to use bentonite-fresh water low solids non-dispersed mud
system containing Drillaid 421, Drillaid 425, and Drillaid 405.
Anticipate mud weight 'in the range of 8.7-9.0 lbs. per gal.
If formation pressures encountered thee weighted mud
System, plan to discontinue Drillaid 421 treatment, and add
bentonite and barite.
