Ms. Bettis: This letter is in response to your email of June 13, 2017, which requested submission of Application for Sundry Approval for three temperature gradient wells at Pilgrim Hot Springs. In response, I am forwarding two copies of the required information: 1) An Application for Sundry Approvals (Form 10-403)for each well (PS12-1, PS12-2, PS12-3, PS13-1); 2) A well schematic diagram for each well; 3) A letter from Graphite One, regarding potential power development at Pilgrim Hot Springs. 4) A summary sheet noting the justification for maintaining the current status of each well. 5) Report dated October 16, 2014, submitted by the Alaska Center for Energy and Power and titled, Utility of Maintaining Recent Wells at Pilgrim Hot Springs for Monitoring and On-Site Utilization. The PS-12 wells represent a significant investment and the plugging and abandoning of these assets would set back any future program that might use the resource for electrical generation or on-site power and heat. As an example of the need for maintaining the wells, Unaatuq, LLC received a grant from USDA/NRCS in 2016 for an agricultural pilot program that is expected to utilize on-site electrical power and heat for the region's food security. In addition to the agricultural project,a mining interest is considering working with Unaatuq to establish a geothermal plant that could produce power for their graphite project some 20 miles from the Hot Springs. I have attached a letter from Graphite One expressing their interest in working on such a program. To summarize,we are requesting that the wells PS-12-1(212-077), PS-12-2 (212-109), and PS-12-3 212- 126), remain in Suspended Status due to the ongoing agricultural program there (and the future need for on-site power and heat),the potential for powering the Graphite One mining program, and the need to 4600 DeBarr Road,Suite 200 • Anchorage.

The property is owned by Unaatuq LLC.,a partnership of seven organizations based on the Seward Peninsula. In 2012 and 2013 four wells were drilled on the property which fall under the jurisdiction of the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission. The wells drilled during this period are best left open and operational as a means to monitor the geothermal aquifer,and in the case of PS13-1 provide geothermal fluid for onsite use. Three of these wells, called P512-1, PS12-2, and PS 12-3 were drilled as temperature gradient holes to tegh•pnessure bail valve —--+ HIgtnpnasure ball valve n 6 519 in 00 conductor casing 6 Vain OD conductor casing cemented to 10011 Dhow cemented to 200 ft below land surface lend surface 4.5-br OD casing cemented to 100011 below land surface 4.54n 00 casing cemented to 9000 ft below land surface 2.194n 00 casing cemented from land surface to 160 ft below land surface.Grouted kern 4e8 b*294 R below lend surface.

These wells are constructed with sealed casing which is plugged at the bottom. The casing is not perforated and the wells are not open to the formation. They do not have ability to flow artesian as other perforated wells at the site do. Once the wells were completed,the casing was filled with water and they serve as temperature gradient monitoring wells. Temperature logs, like the one shown in figure 3 are created using the temperature profiles measured in the wells. These wells are very useful for monitoring subtle long term changes in the geothermal field. • i Currently,there are plans to develop Pilgrim Hot Springs to generate electricity and export this power to Nome. A private developer, under the name Pilgrim Nigh-pressure ballValve _____ Geothermal LLC., has signed a power purchase agreement with Nome Joint Utility Systems to supply up — to two MW of electrical power to the utility. This would 6 518-.n UD conductor casing cemented to 144 ft below require the extraction and reinjection of large amounts of land surface geothermal fluid at Pilgrim Hot Springs.

It was originally drilled to bedrock at 1036 feet, but when temperatures at this depth were cooler than had been hoped for,the well was completed in the shallow thermal aquifer. This well,shown in figure 4 was completed with 14"casing and well screen. The well has an artesian flow rate of approximately 70 gpm at 175°F.The closed in pressure at the wellhead is approximately 3.5 PSI. In September of 2013 the well was flow tested at 300 gpm,and had productivity measured at 27.5 gpm/psi, indicating a good productive well.

Graphite One Resources Inc. continues to develop its Graphite One Project with its proposed graphite mine and mineral processing plant to be situated about 20 miles west of Pilgrim Hot Springs. A power demand of six megawatts at full production was estimated in total for these two facilities in the project's recently released Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA"), the first engineering report assessing the economic viability of the project's graphite resources. This study assumes the power requirements would be supplied by three,two-megawatt,diesel fired generators. We wish to explore with you the possibility of a geothermal generation facility at Pilgrim Hot Springs supplying all,or some of,this estimated demand. The Graphite One Project is proposed as a vertically integrated enterprise to mine, process and manufacture high grade coated spherical graphite ("CSG") primarily for the lithium-ion electric vehicle battery market. As set forth in the PEA, potential graphite mineralization mined from the Company's Graphite Creek Property, is expected to be processed into concentrate at a plant adjacent to the mine. The Graphite Creek Property is situated about 37 miles north of Nome. CSG and other value-added graphite products, would likely be manufactured from the concentrate at the Company's proposed graphite product manufacturing facility,the location of which is the subject of further study and analysis. We look forward to the opportunity to work with you on this. An economic alternative to diesel generated power would be a major enhancement to our project. Yours truly, 77, .

Foerster MAYAlaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission SCANNED 333 West Seventh Avenue Anchorage, AK 99501 RE: Request for Suspended status for wells PS-12-1 (212-077), PS-12-2 (212-109),and PS-12-3 212-126). Commissioner Foerster: This letter is in response to your letters of January 18th, 2017 concerning three geothermal temperature gradient wells on the Pilgrim Hot Springs property. The wells are numbered PS-12-1. PS-12-2, and PS-12- 3, and were drilled in 2012 as part of an ongoing geothermal assessment. At the time the wells were drilled, Unaatuq, LLC(the consortium of local Native organizations that own Pilgrim Hot Springs), was beginning to work towards the development of a geothermal electrical system to provide power to Nome, Alaska. Unfortunately,the economics that would have made the project feasible changed with the significant reduction in fuel prices. In December of 2015, we requested, on behalf of Unaatuq, LLC, that these wells be placed in suspended status because of their importance in any further research and development of the geothermal resource at Pilgrim Hot Springs. With the Application for Sundry Approvals,we provided a schematic of each well, as well as an explanation on the reason why the wells should be placed in suspended status. In short, these three wells are important for monitoring the fluid system when any testing or further development occurs on the property. They are necessary to fully utilize PS-13-1, a well which AOGCC approved "exploratory" status at the same time it denied the suspended status of the PS-12 wells. The P5-12 wells represent a significant investment and the plugging and abandoning of these assets would set back any future program that might use the resource for electrical generation or on-site power and heat. Asan example of the need for maintaining the wells, Unaatuq, LLC received a grant from USDA/NRCS in 2016 for an agricultural pilot program that is expected to utilize on-site electrical power and heat for the region's food security. In addition to the agricultural project, a mining interest is considering working with Unaatuq to establish a geothermal plant that could produce power for their graphite project some 20 miles from the Hot Springs. I have attached a letter from Graphite One expressing their interest in working on such a program. l-eliP o SIR N( . To summarize,we are requesting that the wells PS-12-1(212-077), PS-12-2(212-109), and PS-12-3 212- 126), remain in Suspended Status due to the ongoing agricultural program there(and the future need for on-site power and heat),the potential for powering the Graphite One mining program, and the need to keep these wells suspended for monitoring the reservoir when PS-13-1(213-102) is brought into production. I appreciate the work of the Commission and will submit additional materials to support our request if needed.

Graphite One Resources Inc. continues to develop its Graphite One Project with its proposed graphite mine and mineral processing plant to be situated about 20 miles west of Pilgrim Hot Springs. A power demand of six megawatts at full production was estimated in total for these two facilities in the project's recently released Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA"), the first engineering report assessing the economic viability of the project's graphite resources. This study assumes the power requirements would be supplied by three,two-megawatt,diesel fired generators. We wish to explore with you the possibility of a geothermal generation facility at Pilgrim Hot Springs supplying all,or some of,this estimated demand. The Graphite One Project is proposed as a vertically integrated enterprise to mine, process and manufacture high grade coated spherical graphite ("CSG") primarily for the lithium-ion electric vehicle battery market As set forth in the PEA, potential graphite mineralization mined from the Company's Graphite Creek Property, is expected to be processed into concentrate at a plant adjacent to the mine. The Graphite Creek Property is situated about 37 miles north of Nome. CSG and other value-added graphite products, would likely be manufactured from the concentrate at the Company's proposed graphite product manufacturing facility,the location of which is the subject of further study and analysis. We look forward to the opportunity to work with you on this. An economic alternative to diesel generated power would be a major enhancement to our project.

Since that time, the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (AOGCC) has attempted to obtain additional documentation which would support Unaatuq's request. Unaatuq has not provided the information. Because AOGCC lacks sufficient information to determine that suspension of the PS-12-3 well is appropriate under 20 AAC 25.110(a)(2), the sundry application is denied. Because the PS-12-3 well does not meet the criteria to be placed in suspended status, within 90 days of the date of this denial,Unaatuq must submit for approval a sundry application with a viable plan to plug and abandon the PS-12-3 well. Within 20 days after this decision, or such further time as the AOGCC grants for good cause shown, a person affected by it may file with the AOGCC an application for reconsideration. A request for reconsideration is considered timely if it is received by 4:30 PM on the 23rd day following the date of this letter, or the next working day if the 23rd day falls on a holiday or weekend.

The property is owned by Unaatuq LLC., a partnership of seven organizations based on the Seward Peninsula. In 2012 and 2013 four wells were drilled on the property which fall under the jurisdiction of the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission. The wells drilled during this period are best left open and operational as a means to monitor the geothermal aquifer, and in the case of PS13-1 provide geothermal fluid for onsite use. Three of these wells, called P512-1, PS12-2, and PS 12-3 were drilled as temperature gradient holes to 1 High-pressure ball valve 11.1 High-pressure ball valve �M I fl 6 518-in OD conductor casing 6 5/8-in OD conductor casing cemented to 100 ft below cemented to 200 ft belnw • land surface N land surface •► J 4.5-in OD casing cemented to 1000 ft 'r below land surface 4.5-in OD casing cemented to 1000 ft below land surface 2.19-in OD casing cemented t' from land surface to 160 ft below land surface.Grouted from 160 to 1294 ft below land surface. ..m..;r .- ..:..

These wells are constructed with sealed casing which is plugged at the bottom. The casing is not perforated and the wells are not open to the formation. They do not have ability to flow artesian as other perforated wells at the site do. Once the wells were completed,the casing was filled with water and they serve as temperature gradient monitoring wells. Temperature logs, like the one shown in figure 3 are created using the temperature profiles measured in the wells. These wells are very useful for monitoring subtle long term changes in the geothermal field. • • Currently,there are plans to develop Pilgrim Hot Springs to generate electricity and export this power to Nome. A private developer, under the name Pilgrim High-pressure ball valve -r� Geothermal LLC., has signed a power purchase agreement with Nome Joint Utility Systems to supply up to two MW of electrical power to the utility. This would 6 518-in OD conductor casing cemented to 144ftbelow - require the extraction and reinjection of large amounts of land surface 1 I geothermal fluid at Pilgrim Hot Springs. In order to maintain the long term health of the geothermal field, careful monitoring of the aquifer is necessary.

This well, shown in figure 4 was completed with 14" casing and well screen. The well has an artesian flow rate of approximately 70 gpm at 175° F.The closed in pressure at the wellhead is approximately 3.5 PSI. In September of 2013 the well was flow tested at 300 gpm, and had productivity measured at 27.5 gpm/psi, indicating a good productive well.

Unaatuq,LLC and ACEP have worked diligently to define the geothermal resource at Pilgrim for the past 4 years,however,the current agreement between the parties ends on December 31,2014. It is anticipated that ACEP and Unaatuq will pursue joint projects that will further our understanding of the resource and bring its benefits to the residents of the region. Bering Straits Native Corporation serves as the managing member for Unaatuq,LLC,a consortium of seven organizations in the Bering Strait region who now own the property known as Pilgrim Hot Springs(Attachment A:U.S.Survey 565). Unaatuq,LLC and ACEP have been involved in a multi-year exploration and characterization program at the springs,with the ultimate goal of on-site development of the geothermal resource (greenhouses,district heating,electricity),and perhaps generating electricity for transmission to Nome. Your recent letter states that the wells at the hot springs must be "either plugged and abandoned in compliance with 20 MC 25.105 and 20 MC 25.112 or suspended under 20 MC 25.110." Unaatuq,LLC respectfully requests that we,as the landowners having a continued interest in developing the resources only available through the currently existing wells,be allowed to assume the responsibility as Operator. As Operator,Unaatuq,LLC would prefer to refrain from plugging,abandoning,or suspending the wells because further development of the geothermal resource is only possible if the wells remain functioning and accessible. For example,we are working with a company that intends to pursue electrical generation at Pilgrim,and intends to utilize the existing wells(12-1 to 12-3 and 13-1)for pump tests and reservoir monitoring. Closure of these wells would effectively set back any development for on-site geothermal use and electrical production for transmission to Nome. Attached you will find a statement outlining the Utility of Maintaining the Wells,which also contains a schematic for each well as requested in your letter(Attachment B). Through this correspondence we are requesting that the Operator of Record,currently listed as UAF/ACEP be changed to Unaatuq,LLC.

( Bottom cap MI Figure 1.PS 12-1 (left)and PS 12-2(right) depths ranging from 1000 feet to 1294 feet. Diagrams of these wells are shown in figures 1-2. These wells are constructed with sealed casing which is plugged at the bottom. The casing is not perforated and the wells are not open to the formation. They do not have ability to flow artesian as other perforated wells at the site do. Once the wells were completed,the casing was filled with water and they serve as temperature gradient monitoring wells. Temperature logs, like the one shown in figure 3 are created using the temperature profiles measured in the wells. These wells are very useful for monitoring subtle long term changes in the geothermal field. • • • Currently, there are plans to develop Pilgrim Hot Springs to generate electricity and export this power to Nome. A private developer, under the name Pilgrim High-pressure ball valve - 0. Mk Geothermal LLC., has signed a power purchase agreement with Nome Joint Utility Systems to supply up ., to two MW of electrical power to the utility. This would 6 5/8-in OD conductor casing cemented to14tftbelow require the extraction and reinjection of large amounts of land surface _ geothermal fluid at Pilgrim Hot Springs. In order to maintain the long term health of the geothermal field, L _ careful monitoring of the aquifer is necessary. The temperature gradient wells that were drilled in 2012 are ideally situated to monitor the temperatures of both the s shallow and the deep aquifers at Pilgrim Hot Springs. 2.19-in OD casing cemented from land surface to 993 ft. Because these wells are sealed from the aquifer,the risks associated with leaving these wells open are extremely limited.

It was originally drilled to bedrock at 1036 feet, but when temperatures at this depth were cooler than had been hoped for, the well was completed in the shallow thermal aquifer. This well, shown in figure 4 was completed with 14" casing and well screen. The well has an artesian flow rate of approximately 70 gpm at 175° F.The closed in pressure at the wellhead is approximately 3.5 PSI. In September of 2013 the well was flow tested at 300 gpm, and had productivity measured at 27.5 gpm/psi, indicating a good productive well. This well has excellent potential to produce geothermal fluid for onsite district heating and power production purposes which the landowners are in the process of evaluating.

I spoke with Chris and he sent the attached report detailing the repairs that the University had done to some of the wellheads. Based on the conversation I had with Guy this morning, the application for sundry approvals will need to include specifics from the contractor that is ultimately selected to perform the work. I have identified several contractors that are familiar with the Pilgrim Hot Springs wells, but will need to accept bids through our procurement process prior to awarding the contract. I anticipate that the earliest the work can begin will be in July, although the road to the site may be clear of snow earlier than usual this year. I will specify that the work be completed by Sept 30,2015. Is this approach to plugging and abandoning the 6 wells acceptable?

This trip took place September 13th-18th. The goal was to stop the wells from leaking, and make them accessible for instrumentation as part of the DOE funded project'Innovative Geothermal Exploration of Pilgrim Hot Springs,Alaska'. This report details the work performed on the individual wellheads during the September trip,which included replacing the gate valves on 4 of the 6 wells, including PS-1, PS-3, PS-4 and MI-1. At this time, none of the wells are leaking to the surface although there are still weak points which need to be addressed in the future. Recommendations for future work are outlined in this report. The team performing the work included Dan Brotherton from Arctic Drilling, Richard Eggert,and Max Iyapana from Bering Straits Development Company(BSDC), and Markus Mager from ACEP. For each of the four wellheads that were repaired,the team removed the existing gate valves by pumping down the water level in order to access the well and installing new, stainless steel valves.A detailed work description for each well can be found on the following pages. The team did not alter the configuration of the wellheads except for installing an additional fitting on top of the blind flanges capping the gate valves that can accept a 3" stainless standpipe with a tee and a valve to allow future installation of monitoring and logging equipment. A 1" access port with a plug was also built into the top of the blind flange. We recommend installing chains and locks on all the new valves and that all valves should be tested for functionality(opened/closed)at least once a year. Winterization of all the wells is necessary in order to prevent freezing and cracking of the gate valves. A plan for winterization has been forwarded in a separate communication that is attached to this report. Mobilization All new valves (6), parts,tools and supplies,totaling 3,842Ibs,were purchased or rented by ACEP and shipped to Nome via Northern Air Cargo (NAC). Additional heavy equipment such as 4 wheelers,trailers, a bobcat and an air compressor were rented in Nome from BSDC. All parts,tools and equipment were transported to the side on September 13th and 14th and staged at the central staging area (Figure 1). Repair work began on the 15th, and was completed on the 18th 2 • • central staging area for repair work hot tub ."..

PS-4 (Completed September 14-15th) PS-4 supplies the water for the hot tub from a 2in lower valve. The well was leaking from a%2 inch hole in the blind flange on top of the 10in well gate valve and from the corroded 2in valves on each side of the 10in casing underneath the 10in valve (Figure 2). The lower bolt flange of the 10in valve was covered with mineral buildup and corrosion scale.There was a small pond around the well at the level of the 2in side valves from the constant leaking and overflow from the tub. The team laid down timbers and planks to create a stable work platform and removed mineral build up and rust scale from the lower bolt flange (Figure 3).After various failed attempts to release the old 10in valve from the well flange,the bolts had to be cut off with a torch (Figure 4& 5). 3 • • PS-4 ,lif - , z, e',/- _--- — f t+a 4 5 ii s b` + �1.4 ?i f R i `.. }" t �a t ; ii,, f {�.

The outer casing is corroded and thin.The 8in/10in annulus (space between the two casings)continued to produce water after the water level inside the 8in casing was drawn down. This indicates a likelihood that they are set to different depths and water is produced from a different production zone in the annular space than through the main hole. In order to weld on new 2in nipples, this water would need to be drawn down. We were able to partly draw this water down with a 1in suction tube, but it was ultimately decided to not risk changing the 2in nipples after it was determined they are corroded but still sound (probably just as sound as the casing). Dan was not confident that the casing could be welded given its state of deterioration,so rather than risk creating a difficult to stop leak,the original nipples were left in place and only the 2in valves were replaced with new stainless 2"valves (Figure 6). { PS-4 new valves ,, q . , ,� ,wm New r Ives + but nipples t attach wet a not E �2 y 1, r ar 1. y• irr Corroded old casing and the two nipples are still weaknesses Figure 6.New valves. The flange on this well is partly eaten away but still appears to be sound. The well is artesian and produces clear water. We installed a new 10in stainless steel valve with reducer flange on top connected to a 3in threaded nipple with a stainless cap. The well has no visible leaks and has been re-connected to the hot tub via one of the new 2in valves. Further repairs on this wellhead will be needed in the near future. The 10in casing and the 2in nipples are thin and will eventually start leaking with no way to control or stop the flow. Dan recommends that the 8-10in annulus be cemented from the bottom up to the top via tremie pipe which would seal off the corroded outer casing from the well water and would extend the life of the well. We are also recommending locks on the 2in valves to guarantee flow to the hot tub, prevent accidently closure (or opening)and to prevent well freeze up since this well will presumably not be shut in through the winter. If this is the case, it is imperative that the 2in valve remains open to prevent the new gate valve from freezing. 6 • • PS-3 (Completed September 15-16th) Prior to repairs,this well was leaking through the standpipe at the top of the well and later, after we started to remove buildup and scale (Figure 8),from a hole in the side of the 10in valve(Figure 7). We were unable to plug this leak so we dug a sump hole to drain the fluid and temporarily pump it away from the well and surrounding work space. 3 - t PS- PS-3 ex.

There was significant corrosion to several of the bolts connecting the existing gate valve to the wellhead flange, which necessitated cutting them off with a torch. We were able to drive out some of the bolts once they were cut, but several posed additional challenges and had to be removed in chunks. The torch was damaged during this process. Eventually we were able to remove the old 10in valve and replace it with the new stainless valve and bolts.The lower flange of the wellhead is severely corroded and the new flange bolts are exposed. The flange thickness is about half of original thickness and there is barely enough material left to secure new flange bolts (Figure 9). The well was completed with a new capped gate valve and blind flange, with a 3in nipple and cap. There is a 2in valve below the flange which was left in place as it is not currently leaking.

Note severe corrosion on lower PS-3 flange. Further repairs will be needed to this wellhead soon. Dan recommends cementing the 6-10"annulus from the bottom up with tremie pipe so that the side valve can be removed and the main well flange can be replaced. This will protect the well from a permanent leak if one develops from the corroded casing. MI-1 (Completed September 16-18th) This well is located on adjacent Mary's Igloo Native Corporation land.The top of the 10in gate valve was split in half, probably due to a freeze break. We were able to open and close the old gate valve but could not completely stop the flow of the well. MI 1 is colder than PS-4,and the water temperature of this artesian well appears to fluctuate. When flowed for a short period of time it produced gray,silty fluids.The well has no visible inner well casing. Due to leaks in the wellhead, a small pond had formed around the well several inches deep. We cleaned out an existing trench leading away from the well and the pond drained away to ground level. We built a work platform around the well and removed mineral build up, rust and scale from the bolts. Dan cut the bolts and drove them out with the torch. We removed and replaced the 10in valve with new stainless steel valve and bolts (Figure 11). The new gate valve is capped with • a blind flange with Sin welded nipple and cap. 9 • • r, MI-1 MI-1 :. delivering new valve new,valve r Figure 11. Work commences on MI-1. Note artesian flow prior to pumping. Prior to repairs,the well was also leaking from several holes corroded through the casing below the gate valve flange.These leaks continued after installing, capping and shutting the new gate valve. The casing is paper thin midway between the flange and the cement. Dan welded a sleeve around the casing from about 2in above the cement level up to the flange,totaling about 14in. In order to weld on the sleeve, he completely removed the side valve, nipple and weldolet from the 10in.casing.The sleeve stopped the leaks temporarily but the casing below the sleeve is thin and remains a significant weakness (Figure 12). Dan recommends installing a 6in inner casing and cementing the annulus from the bottom to the top via tremie in order to prevent further leaking once the casing corrodes further. m Ml-1 cor f L e • asi :,` repair work on casing installation of new sieev ' l• ',''''",-..S."* ' .,,,.'_!- . u q.

This well was buried past the valve handle and covered with several inches of mineral buildup. Before repairs, it leaked out of a corroded two inch elbow from the top of the wellhead, as well as the remains of a tin valve and a lin hole in the top of the well cap(Figure 13). These holes were plugged with sticks driven into the openings after some of the mineral build up was removed. We thenup excavated around the well to just below the lower valve flange covering an 8ft by 10ft area,dug a sump hole for the water pump and laided downofthe blockingbolts (Figure and timbers14). for a work platform.

We left the remaining dirt piled to the side of the excavated area. Dan recommends installing a short(18in)spool section underneath the new gate valve to raise the valve above ground level and permit the well to be backfilled to ground level. This would also eliminate the standing water around the well,which is now below grade. He also recommends cementing the 4in-6in annulus and welding on a new casing flange in order to prevent future leaks. PS-2 This well is buried but inaccessible with rubber tired backhoe.

Figure 17.PS-5 still appears to be in good shape,but not accessible by instrumentation. Winterization Plan for Wellheads (Dick Benoit and Gwen Holdmann) The trick to keeping a wellhead from freezing and then breaking during sub freezing weather is to inject a liquid that is both less dense than water and has a very low freezing point into the wellhead. This fluid needs to be environmentally benign so that when (not if) it is spilled or leaks out of the wellhead it does no environmental damage. Typically a food grade vegetable oil has been used in the lower 48. A small pump is used to pump the oil into the highest opening in the wellhead but if the pressures are very low even a hand operated pump may be enough to do the job. We expect this to be the case for the Pilgrim wells. This pump obviously needs to be able to overcome the internal wellhead pressure and can pump at low rates. You will need to know how much oil has been pumped into the wellhead. Enough oil needs to be pumped into the wellhead to push or displace the water down the well to a point below the freezing level,which is probably not more than a few feet. Therefore, it is necessary to calculate the volume of the wellhead above ground and a few feet of wellbore below ground. We expect this might amount of a few tens of gallons per well. It is important to check the wellhead for leaks, no matter how slow, before injecting the vegetable oil. If the oil leaks out of the wellhead then the water will flow back up in the wellhead and freeze. We recommend doing this on the 4 wells with new gate valves prior to hard freeze-up. 14 • • Colombie, Jody J (DOA) From: Bettis, Patricia K(DOA) Sent: Tuesday, March 03, 2015 2:30 PM To: Colombie, Jody J (DOA) Subject: FW:ACEP Reconnaissance Trip Report Pilgrim Springs Geothermal Wells Dated 2010 Attachments: AppD_wellhead repairs.pdf For OTH-14-019 From: Alan P.

S •• ACEP Atatik.4 Centel1 rnergydud Pm* 6-29-10 Preliminary Reconnaissance Trip Report Pilgrim Hot Springs Geothermal Exploration Prepared by:Peter 1111g,Alaska Center for Energy and Power,University of Alaska Fairbanks Goals Our preliminary trip to Pilgrim H.S.was intended to locate, map,and determine the status of all 6 wells located at Pilgrim Hot Springs,including those on adjoining MINC land,and to get a general feel for stable ground in the area and potential challenges associated with ground-based surveys planned for later this summer. Notes on Geographic Coordinates. When acquiring GPS points for this project,we determined it would be best to use Universal Transverse Mercator(UTM)as normal distances between lat long lines are distorted due to the high latitude arctic location of the site.UTM provides an easy to use square grid system. For this report I used NAD 1927 Alaska(5003),and the units are in meters.Please make sure that when using coordinates in the area to use this coordinate system. Site Overview Pilgrim Hot Springs is road accessible,although the last mile or so is in bad shape.There is a fair amount of stable ground in the surrounding area,and it seems possible to access all 6 existing wells with equipment needed to replace the wellheads without the aid of helicopter during appropriate times of the year.There are numerous historic buildings, including the church,dominating the north section of the area.To the south is the MI-1(see figure 7),with the Mary's Igloo well being furthest west. Well Descriptions We were able to locate all 6 wells during the trip,and have provided current descriptions of their condition below,with images from the wellheads included in Figures 1-6. Figure 7 shows the relative locations of all the wells. My colleague,Dan Brotherton,is preparing a plan to refit wellheads for all but one or two of these wells so they can be accessed to collect additional data.We have located the original well completion diagrams and other critical information related to the original drilling program in the report'Results of Drilling,Testing,and Resource Confirmation—Geothermal Energy Development at Pilgrim Hot Springs,Alaska'prepared by Woodward-Clyde Consultants in 1983.This report will be very helpful in developing a plan to rework the individual wells as needed. PS-1 (0503536mW 7218438mN) This well is located furthest north (closest to the church and nearest the main trail).It may very well be the hottest of the wells and appears to have significant artesian flow as evidenced through the leakages. The wellhead has a thick layer of silicious deposits on the exterior which has capped some of the leaks. This well will need to be refitted for further use. PS-2 (0503477mW 7218374mN) Located SW from PS-1 is PS-2.This well seems to be in fairly good shape,and is marked by a large white PVC tube.It is located close to the ground,and does not seem to be leaking. It does not appear • necessary to replace this wellhead,although access with appropriate instrumentation may necessitate retrofitting a 2in valve to the wellhead. PS-3 (0503411mW 7218346mN) West of PS-2 is PS-3.It stands out clearly when surveying the area due to its higher wellhead compared to the others.It is also leaking,and will require refitting in order to access the hole.The silicious seal has sealed past cracks in the metal, however there is a constant artesian flow from at least unsealed leak. PS-4 (0503475mW 7218298mN) This is the well which feeds the main hot tub on the property.It leaks considerably,and has a few tubes connected to the wellhead which are presumably used to feed the tub.As with all the wells described thus far,it will require extensive work to be fully operational. PS-5 (0503478mW 7218122mN) PS-5 is the located furthest to the south.Additionally,it is in the best shape of all of the wells.The valves seem to be operational,and there is little rust on the wellhead. Hot water comes out of the valve that we tested which is attached to a garden hose.Getting to the well should not present an issue,however it should be noted there is a lake that was covered with a floating mat of grass that both Dan and I fell into. MI-1 (0503262mW 7218327mN) MI-1 is located furthest west on the field. It was drilled for a hot water source on behalf of Mary's Igloo Native Corporation(MINC).It has extensive damage to the upper part of the well,where a large crack can be seen in the wellhead.The flow is constant from the crack,with much of it being sealed with silica. This wellhead should also be replaced if it is to be accessed in the future for research or development purposes. Conclusions Dan Brotherton will be writing a report suggesting further steps to be taken on the existing wells to make them operational.This report will be shared with the well owners, Unaatuq, LLC and MINC.The next step will be to map culturally sensitive areas(grave sites,historical buildings,etc.)and property boundaries.This task is scheduled for late July or early August. Prior to this trip we will set up a phone conference with all the parties involved to address questions and concerns regarding that trip,to go over schedules,and to develop a backup plan. Figure 7,which is located on the next page,includes all of the well locations and some of the buildings on the property.Once more Information on historic sites,and other important cultural features are identified,they will be added to this map.Any future drilling objectives will take all of this information into account so that any effects are minimized.

This effective date must not be earlier than the date that Unaatuq, LLC's bond becomes effective. Per the instructions in Box 5 and Box 6, a Power of Attorney or other evidence of authority must be attached for each person signing the form. The applicable UAF lease will be expiring soon relative to the aforementioned geothermal wells. Under 20 AAC 25.105, all permitted wells on a property must be properly abandoned before expiration of the operator's rights. In consideration of the holidays, the AOGCC will grant UAF and Unaatuq, LLC until January 31, 2015 to establish a new bond and to submit all required information to effect the change of operator. After that date, the AOGCC will be looking to UAF to submit an acceptable plan for the plugging and abandonment of the wells. Absent the parties providing AOGCC with the information and bond required to effect a change of operator, forfeiture of the UAF's bond will occur as of February 1, 2015.

Bond Instructions Each operating company ("operator: see 20 AAC 25.990(46)) establishes a single-well bond or a statewide bond with Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (AOGCC) under Regulation 2Q AAC 25.025 to drill, produce, and maintain oil and gas wells. An operator's bond remains active from the time the operator applies for a Permit to Drill for its first well until all wells operated by that particular company are plugged and abandoned according to state regulations and all well sites are restored in conformance with Regulations 20 AAC 25.170 or 20 AAC 25.172. The AOGCC does not establish bonds solely for the purpose of dismantling, removing and restoring wells. The AOGCC's website contains a general discussion of bonding requirements and the permit to drill process at the following hyperlink: htto://www.doa.alaska.gov/ogc/functions/OvrSurvindex.html. This link will take you to a web page that is titled"Oversight and Surveillance." This is a long page, but it explains both processes and the imbedded hyperlinks will take you to all of the regulations and forms. Each of the headings on the page are hyperlinks. Clicking on them brings the text and descriptions into view. This web page is provided for your convenience; please be sure to review the Alaska State Statutes and the Alaska Administrative Code, which are the ultimate authorities. Operators can choose to submit either a surety bond (Form 10-402A) or a personal bond(Form 10- 402B), depending on the financial instrument used. AOGCC's bond forms are available online through our website using the "Forms& Functions" hyperlink. Form 10-402A is required to establish a Surety Bond. A Personal Bond is established using Form 10-402B. If a surety bond is used,the insurer must be authorized in Alaska. You can check this online,at: http://www.dced.state.ak.us/ins/apps/companysearch/InsCompanvStart.cfm. Type in the insurance company name, click on the "Submit" button, then click on the hyperlink in the "Company Name" column, click on the "Line of Business" hyperlink, and scan down the "Line Name" e • • list to find "Surety" and then across to find the effective date for that company's license in the State of Alaska. If"Surety" is not in the list,then the company is not authorized to provide that service in Alaska. If an operator chooses to use a Certificate of Deposit (CD) as the financial backing for the bond,then the operator must submit: 1. Personal Bond form (Form 10-402B), 2. CD documentation or receipt, and 3. Assignment of CD form (available on AOGCC's "Forms" page beneath the Personal Bond (10- 402B)form). The CD must clearly state that the certificate of deposit is issued in the sole favor of the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission,and it must be obtained from a bank authorized to do business in the State of Alaska. If you chose to use an out-of-state bank or credit union,you can check whether or not that institution is authorized by going online to: http://commerce.alaska.govJdnn/dbs/Banking/ModelForeignBankloanAct.aspx. Please note that Powers of Attorney are required for every representative signing these forms. These Powers of Attorney must demonstrate that each person signing has the legal authority to bind the corporation to lease agreements. The bond cannot be processed until the AOGCC has Powers of Attorney for every representative signing these forms. Jody J.

We are currently completing the geothermal exploration program that we've been leading at the site. Blanket surety bond # 105781660 was issued in July 2012 for the wells drilled as part of this project. I've been in contact with Guy Schwartz and Patricia Bettis and they indicated that I should bring bonding questions to you. The landowners are interested in maintaining the three temperature gradient wells that were drilled in 2012 for aquifer monitoring as well as a larger production well that was drilled in 2013.. All parties realize that the bonding obligations must be met, however UAF cannot maintain their bond after our role in the project ends. Can you explain the necessary steps that must be taken by both UAF and Unaatuq (the landowner). My understanding is that the landowners must take out a bond and have it approved by the AOGCC and at that time, the AOGCC will release UAF from its bonding obligations. Is this understanding correct? What forms must be filled out . Any guidance you could give is appreciated.

Box 755910 Fairbanks,AK 99775-5910 Re: Pilgrim Springs Geothermal Wells Docket No: OTH-14-019 Dear Mr.Ganley, Ms. Bell and Ms. Holdmann: As operators or landowner of record, you are advised that the ten geothermal wells drilled in the area of Pilgrim Springs, Alaska (see attached list) must either be plugged and abandoned in compliance with 20 AAC 25.105 and 20 AAC 25.112 or suspended under 20 AAC 25.110. Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation AOGCC regulations can be found at the following internet address: http://doa.alaska.gov/ogc/Regulations/Reglndex.html. A Sundry application form (Form 10-403) for the submittal of a plan of abandonment or a plan of suspension for a well to the AOGCC can be found at: http://doa.alaska.gov/ogc/forms/forms.html. Please note that each application for Sundry Approval must include a well schematic diagram showing the well's current condition and a well schematic diagram showing proposed downhole well design changes to comply with applicable regulations for plug and abandonment or suspension. Pilgrim Springs Geothermal Wells September 12,2014 Page 2 of 2 If the AOGCC does not receive an acceptable plan and schedule for all ten wells within ninety (90) days of receipt of this letter, the AOGCC will notice a public hearing to determine whether remedial action is necessary with regard to the wells and which entity will bear responsibility for compliance. The applicable University of Alaska, Fairbanks Alaska Center for Energy& Power's (UAF) lease will be expiring soon relative to the PS# 12-1, PS 12-2, PS 12-3 and PS 13-1 wells. Under 20 AAC 25.105, all permitted wells on a property must be properly abandoned before expiration of the operator's rights. Upon expiration of the lease, if these wells are not plugged and abandoned to the satisfaction of the AOGCC, UAF's bond will be forfeited. Forfeiture of the bond will not relieve UAF of responsibility for plugging and abandoning of the wells under AS 31.05. If Unaatuq, LLC desires to take over operatorship of these four wells, a Designation of Operator Form (Form 10-411) must be submitted to and approved by the AOGCC, as provided under 20 AAC 25.020 in addition to filing the bond required by 20 AAC 25.025.

"The non-exclusive exploration LICENSE described in paragraph 1 above shall remain in full force and effect until December 31,2014" (See attached land use agreement with Unaatuq LLC, page 1, section B) The reason we make this request is due to our delaying of testing PS-13-1 until the 2014 season which was caused by unforeseen delays and insufficient time remaining in our 2013 drilling season. By leaving these wells open, UAF will be able to monitor the Pilgrim Hot Springs aquifer for changes during the PS-13-1 testing phase which we expect to occur next spring or summer. Our P&A procedure will remain unchanged.

"...The induction, resistivity, and caliper logs were not retrieved for PS-12-3 because the caliper tool, which was ran first, was lost down hole due to collapse of the hole (prior to casing). This tool was lost at 1100 ft depth. The 9/17/2013 Page 2 of 3 drillers attempted to loosen the tool and even tried using all the hydraulic power tue rig had, but the tool was effectively buried. This meant the wireline used to run the other logs could be not used as it was attached to the tool. We had to cut the wireline at the well head and lost the entire 1100 ft. The wireline needed to be re-headed to be used again, but Art Clark was the only one who could do that and he had to leave the day before to check on another project out of state. He eventually came back later in September of 2012 with Markus to relog the cased well for gamma as this is the only log that can be recorded through casing. We did manage to run caliper and resistivity early on in the drilling of PS-12-3, but only to 140 ft depth. We did this to check the hole for stability and fluid composition as we were about to set the next casing. I attached what I was able to find from that run. I also attached the temperature excel sheet Markus created that contains the PS-12-3 temperatures as well as all of the other wells and Geoprobe holes..." You can find the attached documents he is referring to attached to this email. If I sent these two documents to you in paper form that suffice for the missing records? Please let me know your thoughts and I will be happy to comply.

To date, the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (AOGCC) has not received all required information for these wells. AOGCC regulation 20 AAC 25.071, Geologic data and logs, requires the operator to submit a sepia and reproduced copy of a complete mud log or a lithology log. A digital image file may substituted for the sepia. A digital data file of all the logs run, composited and preferably in LAS format, is also required. This same regulation also requires a complete set of washed and dried, legibly identified samples of all drill cuttings be submitted. If conventional core was cut, a representative chip sample from each foot recovered is required as well as a lithologic description, a porosity, permeability and fluid analysis report and, if available, photographs of the core. Within 10 business days, please submit this information to the AOGCC. If you have any questions,please contact me at(907) 793-1238 or at Patricia.Bettis@alaska.gov.

I'm going to Pilgrim again from 09/16-09/19 to get a final temperature and gamma log of that well. Cementing details: The BQ got stuck at 993ft. The annular area (between the 6-in and BQ casings) was cemented to a depth of 180 ft (not 200ft, I triple checked with the drillers) and, to seal off the casing and prevent upflow of groundwater, the inside of the BQ casing was cemented from 993 ft to 930 ft. I will be in my office tomorrow and will give you a call in the morning, best regards, Markus On Fri, Sep 7, 2012 at 11:50 AM, Schwartz, Guy L (DOA) <guy.schwartz@alaska.gov> wrote: > Marcus, > Can you supply more details on this well.

We began running the caliper probe in the afternoon and the probe got stuck at 1065'. The crew attempted to pull out the probe by hand, which yielded no gain. We left the probe in the hole overnight. 08/27& 08/28 The crew tried flushing the hole in the morning to loosen up the probe. When we tripped in, the drillers got the BQ pipe to 993'to flush high viscosity mud to depth. After mixing mud,they began flushing the hole and when they attempted to pull the pipe up, it was also stuck. They tried to pull the pipe by torquing to the max, throttling up the hydraulics, but it could not be moved. Any more effort might have resulted in flaring the pipe at the joints or blowing out the hydraulics. We decided to cut our losses, leave the probe in the hole, and cemented the BQ in place on 08/28 (Note: There is a plug at the bottom of the BQ that was pumped down after the cement. I ran a temperature log yesterday, 09/01, and was able to get down to 930ft). 08/29 & 08/30 When the drillers arrived the morning of the 29th the well was flowing (see picture). The 150F water came up between the surface casing and the BQ. The drill crew got the flow under control with some heavy mud. The drillers started cementing after pumping the mud. They pumped 228ga1 of cement from 200ft to surface and the cement was down 17 inches in the morning. We started demobilizing on the 30th Markus On Sat, Sep 1, 2012 at 8:32 AM, Schwartz, Guy L (DOA) <guy.schwartz a,alaska.gov>wrote: Markus , I was under assumption that u had cemented the BQ casing several days ago.

Hello Guy, The email update from Tuesday, August 28, 2012 11:00 PM was about our third well drilled, PS12-9, PTD 212-126. I apologize for the confusion. Since then we cemented PS12-9 between the surface casing and the BQ from 200ft to surface. The site is pretty wet & swampy since the last couple weeks were pretty rainy out here. This makes demobilizing, which we started yesterday, a little bit more challenging.

The 150F water came up between the surface casing and the BQ. The drill crew got the flow under control with some heavy mud. The drillers started cementing after pumping the mud. They pumped 228ga1 of cement from 200ft to surface and the cement was down 17 inches in the morning. We started demobilizing on the 30th and continued demobilization today. For identification purposes I had the drillers weld a sign to the BQ today (see attachment) . This update comes a little bit late, I apologize, but I also had to deal with a car accident.

The crew reached 1183ft in PS-12-3 t around 18:00 on the 25th and we believe we hit basement at 1080 ft at this . he well was cleaned to bottom the mornina of the 26th to run geopnysical logs. Tne drillers reamed tne well in preparation tor logging. We began running the caliper probe on Sunday afternoon and the probe got stuck at 1065' . The crew attempted to pull out the probe by hand, which yielded no gain. The consensus on what happened to lodae the probe is a cave-in at depth that buried the probe. We left the probe in the hole overnight and in the morning we tried flushing tne nole to loosen up tne probe. When we tripped in, the drillers got the BQ pipe to 993' to flush high viscosity mud to depth. After mixing mud, they began flushing the hole and when they attempted to pull the pipe up, it was also stuck. They tried to pull the pipe by torauina to the max, throttling up the hydraulics, but it could not be moved. Any more effort might have resulted in flaring the pipe at the joints or blowing out the hydraulics. We decided to cut our losses, leave the probe in the hole, and cemented the pipe in place today. This incident makes logging induction and resistivity impossible so we will not have a gamma, conductivity, or resistivity profile for PS-12-3. Also, we cannot run the Kuster on this winch until we rig up a new head for the cable attachment (hopefully tomorrow) . ACEP's hand-powered winch is our backup to loa PS-12-2 aaain and PS-12-3.

Plan of operations Drilling will occur in accordance with Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (AOGCC) rules and regulations.A detailed drilling plan is attached (attachment 1).We are using an Atlas Copco CS-1000-P6L drilling rig for the drilling operation.Water from the Pilgrim River will be used as drilling fluid at the site. Drilling fluid will consist of straight river water whenever possible. If well conditions require,the project will mix a bentonite slurry consisting of Quik-Gel (Baroid Industries—NSF certified), and river water.A natural cellulosic polymer(Quik-Trol, Baroid Industries—NSF certified)will be added to the slurry to improve borehole stability or circulation conditions if necessary.Quik-Gel is a finely ground, premium- grade, sodium based bentonite, which is commonly used as a drilling fluid.The project expects to use approximately 50,000 gal of water per 2,500ft hole. 11.1 Wastewater Discharge Drilling Waste Solids The project drilled two temperature gradient holes in 2011 and solids were handled, sampled and stored accordingly at the site.The samples were tested and passed the standards set by ADEC. Drilling waste solids were disposed in a sump during the 2012 field season.The sump was backfilled with the soil that was removed to dig the sump and the project will provide closure confirmation to ADEC for the sump, including: o GPS coordinates for the sump location, and o photographs showing the sump after it is backfilled. 2012 drilling operations and waste handling will be similar to the 2011 execution. Upon reaching land surface,drilling fluid and cuttings will flow from the well bore over a set of shaker screens,through desanding cones,and into a shaker tank.The solids, removed at the screens and cones, will be deposited through a chute and into above-ground holding tanks(Picture 1 and 2).The fluid, cleaned of solids,will be re-circulated from the shaker tank down the borehole. A 1,500-ft, 5 7/8-in diameter hole would generate—282 ft3 of cuttings. After setting and cementing a 4-in casing to 1,500 ft,a 3 7/8-in hole drilled from 1,500-2,500 ft would generate an additional "82 ft3 of cuttings. Each of the project's five storage tanks has a holding capacity of "90 ft3. Solids will be removed from the drilling fluid and contained in above-ground tanks.Any fluid that accumulates in the solids tank during the drilling process will be pumped back into the shaker tank or onto nearby land surfaces.The holding tanks will be emptied once full and the solids will be disposed in a 10 ft x 10 ft x 5 ft deep sump.

Extreme care will be taken to ensure that the sump locations are not close to any open water bodies. 11.11 Water Withdrawal Location Water will be withdrawn at a rate of 2,500—10,000 gallons per day using a 3-inch centrifugal pump(avg. 20 35 gallons per minute).The maximum amount of water that will be used in 2012 (June to mid- September) is estimated to be 250,000 gallon (Temporary Water Use Authorization TWUP A 2011-30& A2011-125). Our pumping rate during flushing of the well or rotary drilling,the maximum rate will be about 150 gpm. Since fluid is being re-circulated (assuming no circulation loss into formation)the gpm estimate multiplied with the minutes drilled does not equal the amount of fluid used. Weare providing a high estimate of usage due to the possibility of circulation loss. If we encounter lost circulation,the pumping rate does equal the fluid use estimate which is the max. of 10,000 gallon/day. The water intake locations and the intake system are shown in Figure 2, 3 and 4.We are planning to pump water from.the same locations as in 2011 and to use the same system set up.The intake barrel has holes in the sde which are covered with 0.04 mesh to prevent fish impregnation (Fish Habitat Permit FH11-III-0052). � N d v qt a 14:i'-*,,, t[ 5lg '' # � ate-' d. _ . .

A key question regarding the wells is whether it is necessary to drill with a blowout preventer in place. Evaluation of such a need includes determination of the temperature-depth profile at which the saturated steam pressure equals that exerted by the borehole- filled mud column.Saturated steam absolute pressures, in psi,vs.temperature, in °F,were computed with the Antoine equation via use of an on-line calculator, available at www.watervaporpressure.com. Gage pressures, computed by subtracting 14.7 psi atmospheric pressure from the absolute pressures, are plotted as the red line in Figure 1.The mud column,for a weight of 9.5 lb/gal., exerts a pressure of 0.495 psi/ft, resulting in the stability relationship shown by the black line in Figure 1.As an example, from Figure 1, if an ambient temperature of 350°F were encountered at a depth of less than 250 ft, the mud column confining pressure would be inadequate to prevent pore water from flashing to steam, resulting in a blowout, whereas encountering that temperature at greater depth should not cause a problem. 0 0 100 — — 100 — 200 — Temperature — 200 N w Pressure Unstabl Stable 0 300 — — 300a. 400 — — 400 500 I I 500 200 250 300 350 400 Temperature,°F Figure 1. Graph showing the temperature-depth relationship governing blowout potential in a geothermal system.The black line provides the depth at which stability occurs for a specified temperature, and the red line the critical pressure, in psi. The maximum temperature for which computations were made is 400°F, based on geothermometry using water chemistry, as provided by Liss and Motyka (1994). According to that reference,the silica geothermometer provides a geothermal source water temperature of 275 °F;the cation geothermometer(Na/K, Na-K-Ca) a water temperature of 300°F; the K-Mg geothermometer a water temperature of 320°F; and the Mg-Li geothermometer a water temperature of 375°F.The maximum geothermometer temperature was rounded up to 400°F to provide a probable upper limit to the Alaska Center for Energy and Power• University of Alaska Fairbanks• 814 Alumni Drive • P.O.

Note that this temperature maximum must be encountered at a depth of less than 500 ft to result in blowout potential. The minimum temperature in the stability chart is 212 °F, which is higher than any temperature measured in temperature logs of wells drilled in the Pilgrim Springs KGRA. Representative temperature logs of 4 of the 6 legacy wells (PS-1, PS-3, PS-4, and MI-1, drilled in 1982 and 1983 [Kunze and Lofgren, 1983]),and the two wells drilled in 2011 (PS11—S1 and PS11-S9)are shown in Figure 2.

In conclusion,geothermometry suggests that there is a potential for water temperature at depth to reach about 400°F. If temperatures of 220 to 400°F were encountered at depths of less than 500 ft,the potential exists for a blowout to occur. However, none of the eight wells drilled to date have encountered temperatures greater than 200°F. Based on these facts,we recommend that drilling progress without a blowout preventer, but that mud temperature be monitored.Should mud temperature reach a specified threshold, say 200°F, drilling would be interrupted to monitor bottom- hole mud temperature. If estimated bottom-hole temperature approached that indicating instability, as shown in Figure 1,the blowout preventer would be added to the drill string.

Notes on Geographic Coordinates When acquiring GPS points for this project,we determined it would be best to use Universal Transverse Mercator(UTM)as normal distances between lat long lines are distorted due to the high latitude arctic location of the site. UTM provides an easy to use square grid system. For this report I used NAD 1927 Alaska (5003),and the units are in meters. Please make sure that when using coordinates in the area to use this coordinate system. Site Overview Pilgrim Hot Springs is road accessible, although the last mile or so is in bad shape.There is a fair amount of stable ground in the surrounding area,and it seems possible to access all 6 existing wells with equipment needed to replace the wellheads without the aid of helicopter during appropriate times of the year.There are numerous historic buildings, including the church,dominating the north section of the area.To the south is the MI-1 (see figure 7), with the Mary's Igloo well being furthest west. Well Descriptions We were able to locate all 6 wells during the trip,and have provided current descriptions of their condition below,with images from the wellheads included in Figures 1-6. Figure 7 shows the relative locations of all the wells. My colleague, Dan Brotherton, is preparing a plan to refit wellheads for all but one or two of these wells so they can be accessed to collect additional data.We have located the original well completion diagrams and other critical information related to the original drilling program in the report'Results of Drilling,Testing, and Resource Confirmation—Geothermal Energy Development at Pilgrim Hot Springs,Alaska' prepared by Woodward-Clyde Consultants in 1983.This report will be very helpful in developing a plan to rework the individual wells as needed. PS-1 (0503536mW 7218438mN) This well is located furthest north (closest to the church and nearest the main trail). It may very well be the hottest of the wells and appears to have significant artesian flow as evidenced through the leakages. The wellhead has a thick layer of silicious deposits on the exterior which has capped some of the leaks. This well will need to be refitted for further use. PS-2 (0503477mW 7218374mN) Located SW from PS-1 is P5-2.This well seems to be in fairly good shape,and is marked by a large white PVC tube. It is located close to the ground, and does not seem to be leaking. It does not appear necessary to replace this wellhead, although access with appropriate instrumentation may necessitate retrofitting a 2in valve to the wellhead. PS-3 (0503411mW 7218346mN) West of PS-2 is PS-3. It stands out clearly when surveying the area due to its higher wellhead compared to the others. It is also leaking, and will require refitting in order to access the hole.The silicious seal has sealed past cracks in the metal, however there is a constant artesian flow from at least unsealed leak. PS-4 (0503475mW 7218298mN) This is the well which feeds the main hot tub on the property. It leaks considerably, and has a few tubes connected to the wellhead which are presumably used to feed the tub.As with all the wells described thus far, it will require extensive work to be fully operational. PS-5 (0503478mW 7218122mN) PS-S is the located furthest to the south.Additionally, it is in the best shape of all of the wells.The valves seem to be operational,and there is little rust on the wellhead. Hot water comes out of the valve that we tested which is attached to a garden hose. Getting to the well should not present an issue, however it should be noted there is a lake that was covered with a floating mat of grass that both Dan and I fell into. MI-1 (0503262mW 7218327mN) MI-1 is located furthest west on the field. It was drilled for a hot water source on behalf of Mary's Igloo Native Corporation (MINC). It has extensive damage to the upper part of the well,where a large crack can be seen in the wellhead.The flow is constant from the crack, with much of it being sealed with silica. This wellhead should also be replaced if it is to be accessed in the future for research or development purposes. Conclusions Dan Brotherton will be writing a report suggesting further steps to be taken on the existing wells to make them operational.This report will be shared with the well owners, Unaatuq, LLC and MINC.The next step will be to map culturally sensitive areas(grave sites, historical buildings,etc.)and property boundaries.This task is scheduled for late July or early August. Prior to this trip we will set up a phone conference with all the parties involved to address questions and concerns regarding that trip,to go over schedules, and to develop a backup plan. Figure 7,which is located on the next page, includes all of the well locations and some of the buildings on the property. Once more information on historic sites,and other important cultural features are identified,they will be added to this map.Any future drilling objectives will take all of this information into account so that any effects are minimized.

Attached is an excel spreadsheet titled 'drilling_points_2',that was included as Attachment 3 in the Permit Application Request I brought in Monday. The permit I hand-delivered was for a new site, with site ID 9, but I don't think this was clear. On the attached spreadsheet,we included two extra columns for well names to help clarify things - one for the ACEP proposed well name and one for the well name on the AOGCC permit. rt-- Regarding LRegarding modifications compared to the previously submitted proposals, this one limits total depth to 1200 ft. In addition, for PS-12-3 We proposed setting HW casing and installing the BOP at a depth of 1000 ft. Since we drilled that well to 1294 ft w/o encountering high pressures or temperatures (and only about 100 meters distant from this newly proposed site),we are asking to drill PS-12-1 to bedrock+ 100 ft(estimated total depth of around 1150 ft)w/o setting/cementing HW casing or installing a BOP.

I don't have these in my standard oilfield handbooks. The 6-5/8"conductor appears to be 6'schedule 20/X-40 line pipe. I've attached a set of tables with core tubulars specs from one of the manufacturers. Core guys don't have any standards equivalent to API,but it's all 4130 steel and as such they're all fairly close to what's in the tables. I am going to recommend that they have someone like Weatherford or Davis Lynch manufacture float collars and guideshoes. 2)How does the diverter attach to the 6 5/8"casing? I saw some comments regarding a compression lock in an earlier email. They usually attach with a compression lock,sort of like a Dresser sleeve. They come flanged too,but I think the USGS has the compression style,and this would may be a better choice with limited space below the"mule shoe". What I think they'll need to do is take a weld-neck flange and weld a short stub(1 foot or so)on top for the compression fitting to attach to. 3)What is the DSA mentioned in step 18.1 We may need a double-studded adapter to cross over to the preventer. I'll need to review the wellhead setup with the driller once vendors with this small equipment have been tracked down. 4)Can you run me through the max anticipated surface pressure calculation... Is this from a steam table or calculated from BHT and depth? It's from the steam tables. Geochemistry shows that the actual upflow from the reservoir may be as hot as 300 deg F from adepth of 480'. We're in the outflow and there's nothing even close to that temperature,but we're erring on the side of caution. If we found 300-degree fluid,we theoretically might see pressures of around 80 psig at surface. 350-degree fluid might get us up to around 135 psi,like we saw at Akutan.The hot springs around the property are allhydrostatic or slightly sub-hydrostatic, so high artesian pressure doesn't appear to be a concern. 5)When the BOP rams are tested is there a test plug installed or is the casing string tested at same time? Can you give me adetailed procedure for testing assuming pipe rams will be used. Will there be rams for the 2.19"casing too?Are there VBR available to cover the drilling rod as well as casing? We'll probably need to go ahead and test the casing at the same time we test the surface equipment. With a fully-cemented annulus,it will generally test just fine. We'll perform the BOP according to AOGCC's preference—normally a low pressure/high pressure test I believe. I have attached a procedure that I will include in the overall drilling procedure. One problem may be with the Regan Torus,if we end up using it. They're pretty old-fashioned and they don't have a pressure assist like a modern Hydril. The low step test may not hold a nice flat line and the test pressure may have to be increased. As for pipe rams for the BQ casing,I'm doubtful of finding them without having to have them poured. 6)What is the min LOT value that you can safely drill aheadwith(step 30)? There's no indication from a geochemical standpoint of anything really hot(say 350degrees or above)so I feel we're OK with anything above about 0.5 psi. I will have them test for a wet shoe prior to drilling out,which I will include in the main procedure. I've attached a copy of the LOT procedure. 7)Do you have a choke manifold setup and piping diagram available. Is choke and kill line piping threaded,welded or knockup? I haven't included a choke,only a diverter line. These little holes are normally killed by bull-heading,and we're not expecting to have to circulate out anything non-condensable. The piping on the kill side will be a high pressure hose from the pump and 3/1/2012 Page 2 of 3 will be threaded. The blow down line will probably be flexible back to ground leNel then be straight pipe with anchors. I've attached a picture of what we used at Akutan,the steam in the picture was from a 358 degree entry we encountered. It looked pretty dramatic and was noisy as hell,but we killed it with a couple of barrels of cold water,and kept it dead. 8)Do you have to nipple down the BOP before landing and cementing the 2.19" (or 2.36"?)B-rod casing?(step 36) That exposes you to well control issues since well is not hydraulically isolatedyet. We can get around that by taking cement returns through both sides. ill change that in the procedure. 9)1 normally get a cementing detail also for each string. Type cement,sacks,yield,and estimated top of cement. I've attached the lab tests for the last two batches of the pre-bagged blend 1 recommend.

Here are some additional detail questions for you guys on draft procedure that was sent. I usually deal with oil/gas rigs so this is a learning process for me. 1) Can you forward me the casing and drilling rod specs please. I don't have these in my standard oilfield handbooks. 2) How does the diverter attach to the 6 5/8" casing ? I saw some comments regarding a compression lock in an earlier email. 3)What is the DSA mentioned in step 18.1 4) Can you run me through the max anticipated surface pressure calculation... Is this from a steam table or calculated from BHT and depth? 5) When the BOP rams are tested is there a test plug installed or is the casing string tested at same time ? Can you give me a detailed procedure for testing assuming pipe rams will be used. Will there be rams for the 2.19" casing too?Are there VBR available to cover the drilling rod as well as casing? 6) What is the min LOT value that you can safely drill ahead with (step 30 )? 7) Do you have a choke manifold setup and piping diagram available. Is choke and kill line piping threaded , welded or knockup ? 8) Do you have to nipple down the BOP before landing and cementing the 2.19" (or 2.36" ?) B-rodcasing? (step 36) That exposes you to well control issues since well is not hydraulically isolated yet. 9) I normally get a cementing detail also for each string. Type cement, sacks , yield , and estimated top of 3/1/2012 Yage 3 of s cement. If some of the questions need clarifying give me a call.

Record all tests with an electronic pressure transducer or Barton chart and submit to AOGCC. Easy Leak Off Test Procedure Important: Never Test to Greater Than 1.0psJft! Prior to Testing... Drill out the casing shoe and clean out cement below the shoe. Make 1 to 3 feet of new hole. Spot a high viscosity pill with low water loss and 10 ppb micronized cellulose on bottom. Use a sheet of linear graph paper to plot pressure on the vertical axis versus volume of fluid pumped on the horizontal axis. Don't begin this test without graph paper in hand. During the leak off test,graph the volume pumped versus the corresponding pressure. Use a straight edge to connect data points. Record all liquid pumped. In general in drilling geothermal wells the shoe formations are brittle and weak.Therefore it is necessary to find the leak off pressure without breaking down the formation directly beneath the casing shoe. Let's begin... Fill the stack until pressure begins to register on pressure gauge. In this example, we'll use 50 pounds as our starting pressure. Graph your start pressure: 200 soP"' r�5tart presw`Y • 0 0 .5 Barrels Log your start pressure. After establishing a start pressure,you will begin pumping incremental volumes. All of the volumes will be the same size. In this example, we'll use 1110th of a barrel as our incremental volume. Between each pumping,you will stop and graph the pressure on your graph paper. At first,the pressure vs.volume curve will grow steeper with each pumping: ;11. 200 s a. 100 0 0 .5 Barrels The pressure curve grows steeper with each pumping. This is not what we are looking for. Instead, what we are looking for is a consistent increase in pressure with each pumping. So instead of the pressure vs.volume curve growing steeper, it will appear as a consistent slope—a straight line from point to point: 400 v 0 3� v d H z S 5 N a 200 100 0 0 .5 1 Barrels , The slope becomes consistent. You are now looking for the most important part of the leak off test—you are looking for the slope of the pressure vs. volume slope to become less steep. This is the leak off pressure and the point at which you want to stop pumping fluid: 600 Slope of lint shifts - Don't pump anymore 500 400 300 4 y 3 `O ?00 100 O O .5 1 8arrt l5 The slope has shifted. You can see on the example graph that the leak off occurred at the 8th fluid increment or 490 psi. car — Leak 400 Off por M ,c ti D 5 1 •ea ree, Leak off! After reaching leak off pressure, the pressure curve should fall off: 500 Ct^e pressu'E 400 � m 3 300 200 100 0 1 Barrels • The pressure falls off after reaching leak off pressure Sometimes the curve doesn't fall off as neatly as in the illustration above and you have to pump an extra increment or two.

Now it's time to do our calculations. In order to determine the fracture gradient, we must know the following: • True Vertical Depth of the well • Weight in pounds per gallon of the fluid in the wellbore • Leak off pressure. Using this information,we will calculate the fracture gradient using the following formulas: Hydrostatic Pressure=Weight of Fluid in Wellbore (ppg)X 0.052 X TVD Fracture Gradient=(Hydrostatic Pressure of the Fluid +Leak Off Pressure)/True Vertical Depth Equivalent Mud Weight= (Fracture Gradient/0.433)X 8.33 For the sake of this example, we'll use 2000' as the TVD and 9.0 ppg as the weight of the fluid. We have already determined the leak off pressure as being 490 psi. Here are the results of this simulation: Hydrostatic Pressure =9.0 X 0.052 X 2000= 936 psi Fracture Gradient= (936 psi +490 psi)/2000 ft=0.71 psi/ft Equivalent Mud Weight=(0.71/0.433)X 8.33 = 13.66 ppg Schwartz, Guy L (DOA) From: Markus Mager[markus.mager@alaska.edu] Sent: Thursday, February 23, 2012 10:49 AM To: Schwartz, Guy L (DOA); Davies, Stephen F (DOA) Cc: Alan Bailey; Bill Rickard Subject: Pilgrim Hot Springs Project Hello Guy and Stephen, We are moving forward with our project at Pilgrim Hot Springs.

I know the meeting was kind of last minute but I thought to let you know anyways. The meeting went well and I think DNR, AEA and ACEP now have a better understanding on how the "geothermal dots" connect in the State and what permitting and regulatory needs there are. I'm sure it was not the last dialog between the agencies and hopefully you can join us the next time. Here is the short version of the 2011 wells: They are basically holes that have a pipe in them and we measured temperature. We got some core and bag samples. Here is the long story: We started TG hole drilling in the beginning of August and continue through the middle of September. We selected S9 as our first drill site. We decided to drill the second TG hole at S1 based on the characteristics of S9. Before drilling commenced, we walked to the drill location with members of the MINC Board of Directors (President Carlson Tingook, Vice President Richard Komok, and Dora Hughs) as well as Larry Pederson from BSNC to review the mobilization and drilling plan. We used a USGS-owned Atlas Copco CS-1000-P6L drilling rig to drill the two TG holes. The holes were cased with 6-in diameter steel conductor casing to a depth of approximately 33 ft. We failed to continuously core to a depth of 500ft in S9 due to the encountered soil conditions (disaggregated gravel, silt and sand) . We switched to rotary drilling and finished S9. S1 was drilled entirely using rotary drilling due to the expectation that we would encounter the same disaggregated subsurface materials. However, we bagged samples from both holes at regular intervals. A non-screened 2 inch casing was set from total depth to land surface and grouted into place. The casing was filled with water and used to measure subsurface temperatures with a thermal gauge. Both holes will be decommissioned (plugged and abandoned) at the end of the 2012 field season. Water from the Pilgrim River was used as drilling fluid at both sites. If well conditions required, we mixed a bentonite slurry consisting of Quik-Gel (Baroid Industries — NSF certified) , and river water. A natural cellulosic polymer (Quik-Trol, Baroid Industries — NSF certified) was added to the slurry to improve borehole stability or circulation conditions if necessary. Upon reaching land surface, drilling fluid and cuttings flowed from the well bore to a dug sump. The mixture was pumped from the sump over a set of shaker screens, through desanding cones, and into a shaker tank. The solids, removed at the screens and cones, were deposited through a chute and into an above-ground tank. The fluid, cleaned of solids, was re-circulated from the shaker tank down the borehole. So basically just like your standard mineral exploration hole with an additional pipe in them. Let's re-connect next year and we can talk details. I will be back in Fairbanks on January 5th and will give you a call in early January.
