Oooguruk-Kuparuk Oil Pool
Pioneer Natural Resources Alaska, Inc.
Oooguruk Development Project
1.0 Progress of the Enhanced Recovery Project
During 2011, activities within the Kuparuk Pool were extended to two additional fault blocks.
One well (ODSK-13) was drilled in the Oooguruk-Kuparuk Oil Pool within the Ivik Fault Block,
and is currently shut-in pending stimulation treatment. One well (ODSN40) had rig workover
operation, converting the well to injection within the Colville Delta fault block. The ODSK-14,
ODSK-33 and ODSK-41 wells continued to produce throughout 2011. Water breakthrough
occurred in ODSK-35i prior to conversion to injection. The ODSK-38i well continued on
injection throughout the year and ODSK-35i was converted to injection late in the year, after
period of pre -production. Both injectors are performing as expected in replacing off take, as of
December 2011. Injection well ODSK-42i was active for part of the year. The ODSK 42i well
could not maintain consistent injection at the water injection header pressure post gel treatment
in 2010. The locations of these wells are shown on Attachment B.
Average daily Kuparuk production for 2011 was 3,578 BOPD. Cumulative oil production from
the Oooguruk-Kuparuk Oil Pool during 2011 was 1,306 MBO and 6,919 MBO since field start-
up. No additional drilling for the pool is planned for 2012.
Average daily Kuparuk water injection for 2011 was 6,149 BWPD. Cumulative water injection
in the Oooguruk-Kuparuk Oil Pool during 2011 was 2,244 MBW and 7,966 MBW since the start
of the project.
2.0 Results and Analysis of Reservoir Pressure Surveys within the
Pool
Pressure build up tests were completed in ODSK-33, ODSK-35 and ODSK 41 during 2011, the
results of which are presented in Attachment C. In addition, pressure fall off tests were
performed on ODSK-38i and ODSK-42i during the year.
The pressure build up in ODSK-33, ODSK-41, AND ODSK-35 indicate reservoir pressure was
being drawn down around the wellbores compared to original static pressure. Water injection
support is evident in the ODSK-33 pressure and production results. ODSK-41 is still not seeing
much support from injection in ODSK-38i.
The pressure fall off in ODSK-38i indicates elevated pressures around this wellbore due to
extensive water injection. The pressure in ODSK-42i indicates pressure drawdown in this area
of the reservoir as the well has been shut in from injection since the gel squeeze to shut off thief
zones.

4.0 Review of Pool Production Allocation Factors and Issues Over
the Year
Production from the Oooguruk-Kuparuk and Oooguruk-Nuiqsut pools is commingled at the
surface into a common production line. Allocation between the pools is based on ratio of total
production for a pool to the total production for the Oooguruk Unit. The pool allocation factors
for 2011 are:
Oooguruk-Kuparuk Pool:
50.3%
Oooguruk-Torok Pool:
6.6%
Oooguruk-Nuiqsut Pool:
43.1%
Theoretical production for individual wells for both pools is calculated on a daily basis. During
2011 wells were produced with chokes at 100% the most of the time due to the capacity of the
production line. Daily theoretical production for a well was calculated using the data from the
most current well test and the amount of time a well was on production for a given day:
Minutes produced
1440Minute e
xDailyRate(BOPD)we11,s,=TheoreticalDailyProduction
ay
The daily allocation factor for the unit is calculated by dividing the actual total production for
the day by the sum of the theoretical daily production for each individual well. Daily allocated
production is assigned to each well by multiplying its theoretical daily production by the daily
allocation factor.
The average daily allocation factor for 2011 was 0.92.
5.0 Reservoir Management Summary
The Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (AOGCC) issued pool rules under
Conservation Orders No. 645, 596 and 597 for the Oooguruk-Torok, Oooguruk-Kuparuk and
Oooguruk-Nuiqsut reservoirs, respectively. Subsurface development of the Oooguruk Unit is
done with dedicated development wells to the Oooguruk-Torok, Oooguruk Nuiqsut and
Oooguruk-Kuparuk oil pools with no subsurface commingling. Unitized substances produced
from the Oooguruk-Torok , Oooguruk-Nuiqsut and the Oooguruk Kuparuk oil pools are
commingled on the surface.
Area injection orders authorizing the injection of fluids for enhanced oil recovery in the
Oooguruk-Kuparuk and Oooguruk Nuiqsut reservoirs were issued by the AOGCC as Area
Injection Orders No. 33 and 34, respectively. Pioneer commenced injection into both reservoirs
in 2009.
As of January 2012, there are four active producing and three active injecting Kuparuk wells.
Kuparuk production has exceeded expectations from ODSK-33, ODSK-41 and ODSK-14 due to
possible non -matrix flow into these wells. Kuparuk injection commenced in 2009, into ODSK-
38i with excellent injection rates. Kuparuk injection commenced in 2011 into ODSK-35i and
ODSN-40 (converted from Nuiqsut completion to Kuparuk completion). Injection rate into
ODSK-35i is very good, with rate into ODSN-40 good, considering the pay thickness at that
location.
Page 2 of 7
The better than expected neater injection rate has arrested the gas/ oil ratio (GUK) increase in
the ODSK-33 and has stabilized the flowing bottom hole pressure. The ODSK-33 experienced
water breakthrough in August 2010. This was approximately the timing that reservoir
simulation had suggested for breakthrough. The water cut increased relatively rapidly and
reached approximately 82% by the end of, 2011. ODSK-41 is much further away from injection
and has not yet seen a dramatic response to water injection in ODSK-38i. Injection logging
confirmed that water injection in the K -38i well was limited to the perforated Kuparuk section.
Injection was initiated in ODSK-42Ai in January 2010. Unfortunately, this resulted in a very
early water breakthrough event in the ODSK 41 well. The ODSK-42Ai was shut in and the
water injection rate quickly decreased from the producing well. It is possible a fracture system
connects the two wells together. This was not unexpected based on the high productivity from
the ODSK-41 wells originally. In 2010, ODSK-42i was squeezed with a combination of gels to
attempt to seal up the fracture connection. Those are polyacrylamide gels that set up to a
"ringing gel" at reservoir conditions. The ODSK-42Ai was placed back on injection and was
injecting just under 1,000 BWPD for about 30 days. Then, after an upset event from the
Kuparuk River Unit Seawater Treatment Plant, continuous injection could not be sustained.
Some solid materials may have caused some near wellbore plugging.
ODSK-35 and ODSK-14 were both drilled during 2010. The total thickness of the Kuparuk was
less than expected in these wells to the north and northwest of the ODSK-33. The wells had
very high initial productivity from good reservoir quality, but have declined due to the thinner
nature of the reservoir. ODSK-35i was converted to injection in late, 2011.
With ODSK-35i and ODSK-38i both injecting, reservoir voidage replacement is maintained,
pressure in the reservoir is increasing, and GORs are decreasing.
ODSK-13 was drilled in late 2011 as horizontal producer completed to test the thickness and
productivity of the Ivik fault block. Unfortunately, the well currently is awaiting stimulation
treatment prior to production.
ODSN-40, a Nuiqsut horizontal completion, had rig workover in 2011 to convert to dedicated
Kuparuk injection. This well was completed and is injecting into the Kuparuk formation within
the Colville -Delta fault block in an attempt to aid with pressure support and oil recovery into
the ODSK-33 producer within the Kalubik fault block.

Oooguruk Development Project
1.0 Progress of the Enhanced Recovery Project
During 2011, two injection wells (ODSN-23i, ODSN 26i) were drilled and pre -produced.
One injection well (ODSN-15i) was converted to water injection before year end after a
period of pre -production, beginning the first water -flood pattern within the Colville -
Delta fault block.
ODSN-31, ODSN 37 and ODSN-36 continued to produce throughout 2011. They are
supported by water and gas injection in ODSN-32i and ODSN-34i. As part of planned
under -saturated water -alternating -gas (USWAG) process, gas injection has continued in
ODSN-32i throughout most of the year. At year end, gas injection has also been initiated
into ODSN-15i. The locations of all Nuiqsut wells are shown on Attachment B.
Average daily Nuiqsut production during 2011 was 3,061 BOPD. Cumulative oil
production from the Oooguruk-Nuiqsut Oil Pool during 2011 was 1,117 MBO and is
2,580 MBO since field start-up.
During 2011, water and gas injection continued in the Oooguruk-Nuiqsut oil pool.
Offset producing wells within the Kalubik Fault Block (ODSN-31, ODSN-36 and ODSN-
37) have seen gas/ oil ration (GOR) stabilization and arrest of production decline.
Average daily Nuiqsut injection during 2011 was 2,279 BWPL7 and 2,113 Mscfd.
Cumulative water injection in the Oooguruk-Nuiqsut Oil Pool during 2011 was 832
MBW and 1,595 MBW since the start of the project. Cumulative gas injection in the
Oooguruk-Nuiqsut Oil Pool during 2011 was 771 MMscf and 1,101 MMscf since the start
of the project.
2.0 Results and Analysis of Reservoir Pressure Surveys Within
the Pool
An initial static pressure test was completed on the three new Nuiqsut wells.
Additionally, various pressure build-up or static tests were completed on the Nuiqsut
wells in 2011. These pressures are reported in the attached 10-412 pressure form.
The pressure build up tests indicate that pressure is being drawn down around the
production well locations and is high around the injection wells. Waterflood injection
began in 2009 in the ODSN-32i and ODSN-34i. GOR reduction and production decline
stabilization have been observed in the offset producing wells.within the Kalubik fault
block. The pressure surveys confirm that the Nuiqsut reservoir is low permeability
evidenced by the high pressures at the injectors and low pressures at the producers.
3.0 Results and Analysis of Production and Injection Log
Surveys, Tracer Surveys, Observation Well Surveys and
any Other Special Monitoring
In three Nuiqsut wells surveillance equipment was placed in the production liner to
assess oil and water production conformance along the lateral via target fluid tracers
which were monitored and analyzed by collecting surface fluid samples over time.

Annual Reservoir Surveillance Report Pioneer Natural Resources Alaska, Inc.
Oooguruk-Nuigsut Oil Pool Oooguruk Development Project
Initial data indicate adequate tracer concentrations are being returned in the produced
fluids. A quantitative analysis is in progress.
4.0 Review of Pool Production Allocation Factors and Issues
Over the Year
Production from the Oooguruk-Kuparuk and Oooguruk-Nuiqsut pools is commingled
at the surface into a common production line. Allocation between the pools is based on
ratio of total production for a pool to the total production for the Oooguruk Unit. The
pool allocation factors for 2011 are:
Oooguruk-Kuparuk Pool: 50.3%
Oooguruk-Torok Pool: 6.6%
Oooguruk-Nuiqsut Pool: 43.1%
Theoretical production for individual wells for both pools is calculated on a daily basis.
During 2011 wells were produced with chokes at 100% the vast majority of the time due
to the capacity of the production line. Daily theoretical production for a well was
calculated using the data from the most current well test and the amount of time a well
was on production for a given day:
MlY1ZlteSproduced
1440 Minutesa
xDailyRate(BOPD) s�errresr = TheoreticalDaily Pr oduction
y
The daily allocation factor for the unit is calculated by dividing the actual total
production for the day by the sum of the theoretical daily production for each individual
well. Daily allocated production is assigned to each well by multiplying its theoretical
daily production by the daily allocation factor.
The average daily allocation factor for 2011 was 0.92.
5.0 Reservoir Management Summary
The Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (AOGCC) issued pool rules under
Conservation Orders No. 645, 596 and 597 for the Oooguruk-Torok, Oooguruk-Kuparuk
and Oooguruk-Nuigsut reservoirs, respectively. Subsurface development of the
Oooguruk Unit is done with dedicated development wells to the Oooguruk-Torok,
Oooguruk-Nuiqsut and Oooguruk-Kuparuk oil pools with no subsurface commingling.
Unitized substances produced from the three oil pools are commingled on the surface.
Area injection orders authorizing the injection of fluids for enhanced oil recovery in the
Oooguruk-Kuparuk and Oooguruk-Nuigsut reservoirs were issued by the AOGCC as
Area Injection Orders No. 33 and 34, respectively. Pioneer commenced injection into
both reservoirs in 2009.
As of January 2012 there are six producing wells and five injection wells, two of which
are currently pre -producing in the Oooguruk-Nuiqsut oil pool. Currently, eight of those
wells are active production wells and three are active injection wells.

The ODSN-15i was converted to injection in 2011. During 2011, ODSN-40 had a rig
workover that installed injection liner equipment for dedicated Kuparuk injection.
Water injection supply has been variable from the Kuparuk River Unit supply system.
This has hampered efforts to maximize water injection during 2011. The focus for 2012
will be to maximize water and gas injection and to monitor for pressure and rate
response in the offset production wells. ODSN-32i and ODSN-34i both had high
pressure breakdown stimulation treatments for enhanced injection rate.

Oooguruk-Torok Oil Pool Oooguruk Development Project
1.0 Progress of the Enhanced Recovery Project
During 2011, one well, ODST-46 was drilled, completed and hydraulically fracture stimulated
in the Oooguruk-Torok Oil Pool (OTOP). A second well, ODST-39, was drilled in 2011,
completed in January 2012, and is awaiting hydraulic fracture stimulation. Sustained
production from ODST-46 was initiated in May of 2011 with plans to convert the well to
injection for enhanced recovery once production is established from ODST-39 and an Area
Injection Order has been issued. An application for an Area Injection Order will be submitted
in April 2012, with the intent to begin injection for enhanced recovery later the same year. The
locations of the existing OTOP wells are shown on Attachment A.
Average daily Torok production for 2011 was 467 BOPD. Cumulative oil production from the
OTOP during 2011 was 170 MBO and is 306 MBO since field start-up thru 2011. No water or
gas was injected into the OTOP during 2011. Attachment B details the 2011 monthly voidage
for the OTOP.
2.0 Results and Analysis of Reservoir Pressure Surveys within the
Pool
An initial pressure of 2,397 psig (-5,000 '1'VDSS) was measured in the ODST-46 well on March
24, 2011 prior to fracture stimulating the well on March 28, 2011. A review of the data indicates
the pressure was declining at approximately 10 psi per day following the end of the drilling and
rig completion operations on March 20, 2011. Subsequently, ODST-46 was shut-in following the
initial fracture stimulation and flowback on April 2, 2011 providing a stable initial pressure
build up of 2,249 psig (-5,000 T-VDSS) after 447 hours. This pressure is consistent with the
original OTOP pressure of 2,250 psig (-5,000 TVDSS). Additionally, an approximate six day
pressure build up (PBU) test was completed in both ODST45A and ODST46 in August of 2011
yielding very similar final pressures, suggesting similar levels of depletion in this initial
development area. Attachment C details the surveys and relevant data.
3.0 Results and Analysis of Production and Injection Log Surveys,
Tracer Surveys, Observation Well Surveys and any Other
Special Monitoring
Surveillance equipment was placed in the production liner of ODST-46 to assess oil and water
production conformance along the lateral via target fluid tracers which were monitored and
analyzed by collecting surface fluid samples over time. Initial data indicate adequate tracer
concentrations are being returned in the produced fluids. A quantitative analysis is in progress.

4.0 Review of Pool Production Allocation Factors and Issues Over
the Year
Production from the Oooguruk-Torok, Oooguruk-Kuparuk and Oooguruk-Nuiqsut pools is
commingled at the surface into a common production line. Allocation between the pools is
based on ratio of total production for a pool to the total production for the Oooguruk Unit. The
pool allocation factors for 2011 are:
Oooguruk-Kuparuk Pool:
50.3%
Oooguruk-Torok Pool:
6.6%
Oooguruk-Nuigsut Pool:
43.1%
Theoretical production for individual wells for all pools is calculated on a daily basis. During
2011 wells were produced with chokes at 100% most of the time. Daily theoretical production
for a well was calculated using the data from the most current well test and the amount of time
a well was on production for a given day:
Minutes produced
1440 Minut%day
xDailyRate(BOPD)we,,,es, = TheoreticalDaily Production
The daily allocation factor for the unit is calculated by dividing the actual total production for
the day by the sum of the theoretical daily production for each individual well. Daily allocated
production is assigned to each well by multiplying its theoretical daily production by the daily
allocation factor.
The average daily allocation factor for 2011 was 0.92.
5.0 Reservoir Management Summary
The Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (AOGcq issued pool rules under
Conservation Orders No. 645, 596 and 597 for the Oooguruk-Torok, Oooguruk-Kuparuk and
Oooguruk-Nuiqsut reservoirs, respectively. Subsurface development of the Oooguruk Unit is
done with dedicated development wells to the Oooguruk-Torok, Oooguruk-Nuiqsut and
Oooguruk Kuparuk oil pools with no subsurface commingling. Unitized substances produced
from the three oil pools are commingled on the surface.
As of January 2012, there are two producing Torok wells, one of which, ODST-46 is a pre -
produced injector. One additional producer, ODST-39 has been drilled and completed, and will
be completed and placed on production in 2012. Injection will commence into ODST-46 after
review and approval of an Area Injection Order for the OTOP
