Introduction
As required by Conservation Order 205 for the Kuparuk River Oil Pool, approved October 4,
1984, Conservation Order 477, approved August 23, 2002 for the Schrader Bluff Oil Pool,
Conservation Order 423 for the Sag River Oil Pool, approved May 6, 1998, and Conservation
Order 550.007 for all Milne Point Pools, approved January 6, 2009, and Conservation Order
550.006 for all Milne Point Pools, amended February 14, 2015, this report provides a
consolidated summary of surveillance activities within the Milne Point Unit. The report includes
surveillance data associated with waterflood projects and development activities. The time period
covered is January through December 2024.
Kuparuk River Oil Pool Waterflood
Project Summary
Cumulative water injection since waterflood startup through the end of 2024 is 714 MMSTB and
cumulative gas injection is 133.9 BSCF.
Voidage replacement ratio averaged 0.77 RB/RB in 2024 compared to 0.94 RB/RB in 2023.
The Kuparuk River Oil Pool is split up in Hydraulic Units which represent regions of the
reservoir that are believed to be hydraulically isolated due to faulting and/or lithologic controls.
In 2024, 15 static pressure readings were obtained in the Kuparuk River reservoir. Average
pressure from those readings was 3434 psi at a datum depth of 7000’ SSTVD

Schrader Bluff Oil Pool Waterflood
Project Summary
The Schrader Bluff Oil Pool cumulative voidage replacement for the calendar year 2024 was
0.76 (target 1.0) with a cumulative voidage replacement for the life of the project is 0.74.
Initial development of the Schrader Bluff pool began in 1991 in the Tract 14 area (G/H/I/ and J
pads) and consisted of vertical producers and injectors being completed in most all of the
Schrader Bluff sands (Na-Nf , Oa, and Oba). Injection into the pool began approximately one
year after the first producers were drilled. The vertical injectors were typically installed with
selective completions allowing for regulation of injection into different reservoir sands. Starting
in the late 1990’s development continued in the Tract 14 area with both infill drilling and
delineation wells as well as wells being drilled from both existing B and E pads. The
development strategy shifted toward drilling multli lateral horizontal producers that were
supported by vertical multi sand injectors. In 2002 a new pad was installed, S Pad, with similar
development strategy but split between the Nb and Oa/Oba sands with dedicated Nb sand
horizontal producers and Oa/Oba sand dual lateral producers. These producers were supported
by vertical multizone regulated injectors. Limited development occurred upon the completion of
the S Pad project until 2016 when delineation wells were drilled from L Pad. The development
strategy again shifted to dedicated single sand horizontal producers and injectors. In 2019
another pad was built, M Pad, where further delineation of the Schrader Bluff began. In 2020
and 2021 efforts began do “redevelop” the existing Tract 14 and S Pad areas which involved
P&A’ing the existing well stock in an individual sand and redrilling the area with horizontal
wells.
New developments in the Schrader continue to utilize source water primarily from the shallower
prince creek formation. All new developments since Hilcorp’s purchase of the asset in 2014
have utilized clean source water for injection. Utilizing produced water for injection at Milne
Point has shown to be detrimental to injectivity due to solids and produced crude carry over
accumulating in the injection wells. All future developments in the Schrader Bluff will plan to
use clean source water.
Hilcorp continued the Schrader Bluff Nb sand polymer injection pilots at J and L pads that were
started in 2018. Results continue to be very encouraging with observed decreased water cuts and
delayed water breakthrough. Polymer injection facilities were installed and injection initiated in
the Schrader Oa sand developments at F and M-Pad in May and July of 2020, respectively.
Polymer injection facilities were then installed at both I and E pads targeting the Schrader Bluff
Nb and Oa reservoirs in the fall of 2020. Polymer injection facilities were then installed at both I
and E pads targeting the Schrader Bluff Nb and Oa reservoirs in the fall of 2020. Polymer
injection facilities were then installed at S pad targeting the Schrader Bluff Nb reservoir in the
spring of 2022.Polymer injection facilities were then installed at B pad targeting the Schrader
Bluff Nb and Oa reservoirs in the beginning of 2023. Current total polymer injection rate into the
Schrader Bluff is approximately 55,095 bwpd.
Average pressure throughout the field is 1775 psi at reference depth of 4000’ SSTVD based on
2024 surveys taken. Original pressure at reference depth was 1730 psi.

Schrader Bluff PLT Logs and Analysis
No PLT logs were run on multi-sand injectors in 2024. Total active injector count in the
Schrader Bluff is 66 with a total of 9 active multi-sand injectors at the end of 2022. These wells
are B-02, E-12, G-01, I-07A, I-16, I-18, J-05, S-02, and S-15. The remaining active injectors are
either dual string vertical injectors targeting single intervals, single string horizontal injectors
targeting individual sands, or selective completions that are only injecting into a single zone.
Sag River Oil Pool Waterflood
Project Summary
A Participating Area for the Sag was approved in 2005. During 2024, Sag Oil Pool had the field total to 4 production wells with no
active injection wells.
There was no production from the reservoir in most of 1999 and the entire year of 2000 because it was not economical to repai r the
failed ESPs.
The Sag River Pool oil production averaged 37 STBD and water production averaged 146 STBD in 2024. Cumulative production
through the end of 2024 was 4.2 MMSTB of oil, 5.3 BSCF of gas, and 4.8 MMSTB of water.
During 2024 one pressure surveys in the C-46 well was obtained indicating a reservoir pressure of 1448 psi at a datum depth of 8750’
SSTVD. As this is a single well, this not indicative of the average reservoir pressure of the pool.

MPU Pool Allocation Factors
Total Milne Point production increased a total of 1.47 MMBO from 2023 to 2024 primarily due to development drilling in the
Schrader Bluff pool. Water production increase due to the addition of new wells and expected water production increase from existing
wells. Gas production increased commensurate with increased oil production.

Annual Plans of Development Review (42nd – 2024 and 43rd - 2025)
The following annual report describes the operations conducted under the 42nd POD as required
by 11 AAC 83.343(d), submitted to the Division of Oil and Gas, Alaska Department of Natural
Resources in October 2024.

production rate was 43,474 barrels of oil per day (“BOPD”).
2. Rotary Drilling Program: Hilcorp anticipated drilling twenty (20) wells, as amended to
reflect twenty-four (24) new wells under the 42nd POD with a focus on Schrader Bluff
Formations wells, or up to two (2) Kuparuk Formation wells, and up to two (2) Ugnu
(Undefined) Formation wells. Hilcorp has drilled sixteen (16) new wells with an
additional six (6) wells anticipated to be completed by the end of the 42nd POD period, as
detailed below:

five (5) wells (4 producers, 1 injector), denoted by *, are anticipated to be drilled by
the end of the 42nd POD period.

• J-40* – horizontal producer
1 Milne Point Unit has not historically and is not currently equipped to sell natural gas liquids (“NGLs”). All of the
oil produced/sold from the Milne Point field is conventional black oil.
• J-32* – horizontal producer
• J-47* – horizontal injector
• J-46* – horizontal producer
b. Kuparuk Formation – Anticipated drilling seven (7) wells, as amended to reflect
drilling up to two (2) wells (1 producer, 1 injector) dependent on the Schrader Bluff
drilling campaign. Successfully drilled one (1) well detailed below.
• F-34L1 – horizontal producer
c. Ugnu (Undefined) Formation – Anticipated drilling 2 wells (1 producer, 1 injector).
Plan to drill one (1) well, detailed below, by the end of the 42nd POD period.
• S-204* – horizontal producer
3. Coil Tubing Drilling Program: Hilcorp anticipated performing coiled tubing drilling
operations on six (6) wells during the 42nd POD period. A total of six (6) wells (5
producers, 1 injector) were successfully drilled, as detailed below. The wells listed below
are all targeting the Kuparuk Formation.
• B Pad
• B-19A
• C Pad
• C-13A
• C-14A
• E Pad
• E-19A
• F Pad
• F-5L1/ F-65L1-01
