Lieutenant Governor Effective: Register: X10 • ~ February 12, 2003 -Open Meeting ATTENDANCE Cammy Oechsli Taylor Dan Seamount Mike Bill Jody Colombie Kristen Nelson Teresa Rockhill Old Business 1. Approved minutes of last meeting September 18, 2002. Cammy Taylor -Moves to accept. Dan Seamount -Seconded. I Vote yes. New Business 1. Reconsideration of the Proposed Amendment to commission regulation 20 AAC 25.527(d). With respect to the original proposal to amend that regulation there was a single comment was AOGA the Oil and Gas Association which supported the proposed change and stated specifically that proposed language maintains an appropriate minimum standard for well control training while affording the Commission some valuable flexibility in specifying now how that training can be obtained by an operator The change in the regulations is necessitated by changes in the federal regulations that the old regulation adopted by reference; this amendment as proposed would allow operators more options in how to meet the general requirement of well control training, which provides the opportunity for reducing the cost of complying with the regulations and the cost of implementing that regulation for required well control training is outweighed by the benefits and ensuring safe and proper operations and drilling and workovers. This seems to be consistent with comment that we received from AOGA and our staff. There are two proposals in front of you one (1) is Version A and one (1) is Version B. Version A contains the phrase "open hole" proceeding "drilling operations". Mike Bill -Relevant to the words "open hole", I have spoken with a representative of BP's Drilling and Wells group and also one of our Petroleum Engineers and their opinion is that the words "open hole" are redundant to the term "drilling operations" as it is defined in our regulations. In our • • regulations it states "drilling operations" means the "penetration of ground below the setting depth of structural or conductor casing, using a drilling rig capable of performing the permitted well work, and for purposes other than setting structural or conductor casing and then it goes on to includes some other items. So my understanding is that if the words "open hole" are in or out that this would apply to rotary rig drilling operations, it would apply to workover operations involving installation of removal of jointed tubular and it also applies to coil tubing drilling operations including milling a window by a nondrilling coil tubing unit or service unit. It would include all of these things whether the words "open hole" are included or not. Dan Seamount - I was going to ask if there were any regulatory definitions that apply, but it sounds like Commissioner Bill has answered that question. With that I have no further comments. Cammy Taylor -Any further discussion with respect to which version we should adopt? Mike Bill - I Agree. Dan Seamount - If you want to have better English maybe we should take the redundancy out. Mike Bi11- I would recommend that. That was Version B. Mike Bill - I move to repeal and readopt 20 AAC 25.527(d) as it is written in the February 11, 2003 draft regulation Version B. Cammy Taylor - I second that. Voting: Dan Seamount -Yes Mike Bill -Yes Cammy Taylor -Yes Mike Bill - Do we need any further discussion on the cost of this regulation? Cammy Taylor -There is no indication that this would increase the cost. Mike Bill -That covers it. Other Business: Dan Seamount: It has been wonderful working with two of you and we have made a great team. Cammy Taylor- Thank you. 2 Mike Bill -Thank you. Cammy Taylor -You have been very special to work with as well. Mike Bill - It is a mutual admiration. Cammy Taylor -Thank you.

We're at the AOGCC offices at 6 333 West Seventh Avenue, Suite 100. The subject of today's 7 hearing is the Commission's proposal to adopt a regulation 8 change. 20 AAC 25.527(d) is proposed to be repealed and 9 readopted to provide for training in well control and to 10 eliminate outdated references to the Code of Federal 11 Regulations. 12 For the record, I'd like to introduce the 13 Commissioners. To my left is Commissioner Mike Bill, to my 14 right is Commissioner Dan Seamount, I am Cammy Taylor, and our 15 Metro Court reporter today is Julie Gonzales. If anybody 16 wishes to have a copy of the hearing that's being recorded and 17 transcribed, they may make arrangements directly with Metro 18 Court Reporting. 19 Notice of the public hearing, today's hearing, was 20 published in the Anchorage Daily News on November 15th, 2002. 21 The Commission has received one set of comments from the 22 Alaska Oil and Gas Association in support of the regulation 23 change, and we're here today to accept any other public 24 comment either in writing or orally. I see we have four 25 people present in the hearing room, but the sign-up sheet METRO CO URT REPORTING, INC. 745 West Fourth Avenue, Suite 425 Anchorage, Alaska 99501 (907) 276-3876 3 1 reflects that no one is here to provide oral testimony. Is 2 there anybody here who's prepared to provide written comments? 3 Everybody's shaking their head no. 4 With no additional comments to be taken into the 5 record at this time, our hearing notice did provide for an 6 opportunity for the record to remain open until 10:00 o'clock 7 for anybody who appeared at the Commission offices to provide 8 comment. So my recommendation is that we take a brief recess 9 and reconvene right at 10:00 o'clock in the event that 10 somebody else may show up, or earlier if somebody comes and is 11 ready to provide testimony. Is that all right with you two? 12 COMMISSIONER SEAMOUNT: That is okay. 13 COMMISSIONER BILL: Okay with me. 14 CHAIR TAYLOR: We'll go off record. 15 (Off record) 16 (On record) 17 CHAIR TAYLOR: We're back on record in the matter of 18 the proposed repeal and readoption of 20 AAC 25.527(d) The 19 Commission took a recess to see whether anybody else -- any 20 public member would attend to offer oral or written comment. 21 The sign-in sheet indicates that there have been no additional 22 attendees.

I do have a 11 question. 12 CHAIR TAYLOR: Oh, excuse me. 13 COMMISSIONER BILL: Do we need to read this -- the 14 text? 15 CHAIR TAYLOR: That would be a good idea. Why don't I 16 add that to the motion then. I will move that we repeal and 17 readopt subsection (d) of 27 AAC 25.527 to read as follows: a 18 tool pusher, driller, or functional equivalent, or person in 19 charge who participates in open hole drilling operations or in 20 workover operations involving the installation or removal of 21 jointed tubulars, must have received formal well control 22 training sufficient to ensure the competent performance of the 23 person's well control duties.

As you are aware, AOGA is a private, non-profit trade association. Its 19 member companies represent the majority of oil and gas exploration, production, transportation, refining and marketing activities in Alaska. AOGA supports AOGCC's proposed changes to 20 AAC 25.527(d). AOGA believes the proposed language maintains an appropriate minimum standard for well control training while affording the Commission some valuable flexibility in specifying how that training can be obtained by an operator. We encourage the Commission to adopt these regulation changes as soon as possible. Thank you again for this opportunity to comment. Sincerely, JUDIT M.

Workover and Service Operations Dear Commissioners: The Alaska Oil and Gas Association (AOGA) appreciates the opportunity to assist the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (AOGCC) in developing amended regulation language for 20 AAC 25.527, General Well Control Requiremers for Drilling, ComQletion. Workover and Service Operations. This amendment is driven by changes in the Minerals Management Service (1VIl1~IS) regulations, which result in the elimination of certification of well control training programs by the MMS. Currently, AOGCC regulation 20 AAC 25.527(d) specifically adopts by reference the MMS regulations in the Code of Federal Regulations dated 7/1/98, which states a requirement to attend an MMS certified well control training program. As you are aware, AOGA is a private, non-profit trade association. Its 18 member companies represent .the majority of oil and gas exploratioq productioq transportatioq refining and marketing activities in Alaska. Following discussions with AOGCC star members of AOGA's AOGCC Task Group prepared, for the Commission's consideratioq the following language to re-write 20 AAC 25.527(d): d) The toolpushers, drillers (or functional equivalent) or persons-in-charge of open hole drilling operations, orworkover operations irrvolvtng the installation and/or removal ofjointed tubulars must be trained and certified in a drilling well control curriculum specified by an internationally recognized well control standard, :such as, but not limited to, the Minerals. Management Service of the United States Department of Interior (1t~A~IS), the International Association ofDridlingContractors (IADC) We11CapProgram, thelnternational Well Control Forum (IWCF) or the International Alliance for Well Control (IAWC). t.. ~ ~ February 8, 2002 Page 2 We believe this proposed language is consistent with the regulations as they are currently written. The language maintains an appropriate minimum standazd for well cornrol training and affords the Commission some valuable flexibility in specifying how that training can be obtained by an operator. This change also addresses the Commission's concerns regazding required training for coiled tubing drilling operations. Thank you again for this opportunity to assist the Commission in this effort. If you or your colleagues have any questions, please feel free to call. sincerely, jti~~~ ``' '`9`~ __ TTH M. BRADY , xecutive Director c:25.527(d)proposal cc: AOGA AOGCC Task Group
