Lookout Oil Pool Annual Reservoir Review
ConocoPhillips Alaska, Inc., (CPAI) as Operator and sole working interest owner of the Greater
Mooses Tooth Unit (GMTU), submits this Lookout Oil Pool (LOP) Annual Reservoir Review as
required by Conservation Order 747, Rule 8.
Overview, Enhanced Recovery, and Reservoir Management Summary
LOP production and injection was initiated in October 2018. Lookout development drilling
began in March 2018 with six wells completed by year-end 2018. One additional well was drilled
in 2019 for a total of seven development wells (three producers and four injectors). Producer
MT6-06 was the only well fracture stimulated.
The ongoing development scheme premises water injection with alternating gas injection (WAG)
for pressure maintenance and improved recovery. Gas injection commenced in June 2019 and
WAG cycles continued through 2023.
A Lookout geomodel was rebuilt in 2019 based on the data collected while drilling the
development wells. Subsequent updates to the geomodel and resulting simulation model
continued through 2020 based on observations and learning from dynamic production data as
well as data collected from well logging campaigns. These models are used for optimization and
to aid in the identification of future development opportunities and will continue to be updated
as new data is collected.
Reservoir Voidage Balance and Cumulative Status
The tables below summarize average daily injection and production rates, cumulative fluid
volumes, and voidage balance as of January 1, 2024. The cumulative I/W ratio at the end of 2023
was 0.96.
The following is a summary of the LOP status as of January 1, 2024.

Reservoir Pressures at Datum Map and Summary and Analysis of Reservoir Pressure
Surveys
See Attachment 1 for the reservoir pressures at datum map. Two pressure surveys were
performed in LOP wells during 2023. See Attachment 3 for the 10-412 Report of Reservoir
Pressures.
Results and Analysis of Production and Injection Log Surveys, Tracer Surveys, Observation
Well Surveys, and Special Monitoring
There were no injection or production profile logs run in 2023. The Lookout 1 exploration well was
plugged and abandoned (P&A) in March 2021. Prior to P&A a reservoir saturation tool (RST) log
was run in the Lookout 1 to assess the waterflood sweep.
Review of Production Allocation Factors and Issues
In accordance with AOGCC Other Order 112 dated October 12, 2016, Other Order 112A dated
December 22, 2016, and BLM Sundry Approval for Measurement by Other Methods dated October
14, 2016, LOP production will receive an allocation factor of one (1.0).
Production allocation to individual production wells in the LOP is performed in the same manner
as other CPAI North Slope fields. An allocation factor comparing actual total daily LOP production
sales to the sum of individual well theoretical rates will be used to adjust theoretical well
production to allocated well production. The average individual well allocation factor in 2023 is
1.00.

Rendezvous Oil Pool Annual Reservoir Review
ConocoPhillips Alaska, Inc., (CPAI) as Operator and sole working interest owner of the Greater
Mooses Tooth Unit (GMTU), submits this Rendezvous Oil Pool (ROP) Annual Reservoir Review as
required by Conservation Order 793, Rule 8.
Overview, Enhanced Recovery, and Reservoir Management Summary
Rendezvous development drilling began in April 2021 with four wells completed by year-end
(two producers and two injectors). ROP production was initiated in November 2021 and
injection was initiated in December 2021. There were 8 wells drilled in 2022 and a total of 11
active wells as of year-end 2022 (six producers and five injectors). In 2023, 7 wells were drilled,
with a total of 17 active wells as of year-end 2023 (eight producers and nine injectors).
The ongoing development scheme premises water injection with alternating gas injection (WAG)
(where appropriate) for pressure maintenance and improved recovery. Gas injection began in Q2
2023 with the MT7-11 injector. Cumulative water injection at year-end 2023 was 15.0 MMBW.
Cumulative gas injection at year-end 2023 was 10.8 BSCF.
A Rendezvous geomodel is continuously being updated as new data is acquired while drilling
the development wells. Updates to the geomodel and resulting simulation model will continue
based on newly acquired data from drilling, observations, and learnings from dynamic
production data, as well as any surveillance data collected. These models are used for
forecasting and identifying optimization opportunities.
Reservoir Voidage Balance and Cumulative Status
The tables below summarize average daily injection and production rates, cumulative fluid
volumes, and voidage balance as of January 1, 2024. The cumulative I/W ratio at the end of 2023
was 0.41. Water injection and voidage replacement are impacted by pre-producing new injectors
for reservoir performance data collection, reduced injection rates due to early water breakthrough
connections in several injector/producer patterns, and excess gas production from the gas-cap.
The following is a summary of the ROP status as of January 1, 2024.

Reservoir Pressures at Datum Map and Summary and Analysis of Reservoir Pressure
Surveys
See Attachment 2 for the reservoir pressures at datum map. Fourteen static pressure surveys
were performed in ROP wells during 2023. See Attachment 4 for the 10-412 Report of Reservoir
Pressures.
Results and Analysis of Production and Injection Log Surveys, Tracer Surveys, Observation
Well Surveys, and Special Monitoring
There were five production and four injection profile logs run in 2023 to further understand both
water and gas entry points along the reservoir laterals. The data continues to be used to
understand conformance across the field. To date, composite bridge plugs and retrievable patches
have been used to temporarily isolate sections of the laterals based on profile log results.
Additional remediation techniques may be applied in the future. A tracer test was also performed
between the MT7-03 and MT7-07 injectors and MT7-01 and MT7-05 producers to understand
water injection transient time. The test found the initial water interaction between the two wells
was approximately two days and the data will be utilized to design any future conformance
mitigation.
Review of Production Allocation Factors and Issues
In accordance with AOGCC Other Order 148 dated December 19, 2018 and BLM Sundry Approval
for Oil Measurement by Other Methods and Redundancy Verification of Oil Measurement
Secondary Pressure and Temperature Instruments Greater Moose’s Tooth Unit (Rendezvous)
dated July 1, 2019, ROP production will receive an allocation factor of one (1.0).
2023 GMTU Annual Reservoir Review Report

Production allocation to individual production wells in the ROP is performed in the same manner
as other CPAI North Slope fields. An allocation factor comparing actual total daily ROP production
sales to the sum of individual well theoretical rates will be used to adjust theoretical well
production to allocated well production. The average individual well allocation factor in 2023 is
0.99.
