A report of completed development or service wells that have been shut-in for 365 days or longer
as of January 1, 2025, will be separately filed with the Commission by March 31, 2025,in
accordance with 20 AAC 25.115.
2.0 OVERVIEW
IPA
Prudhoe Bay (Permo-Triassic) Reservoir development began in 1968 with the Prudhoe Bay State
No. 1 exploratory well. Regular production began in June 1977. Produced water injection began
in June 1977, and large-scale water flood for secondary recovery was installed in August 1984.In
June 1987,the Prudhoe Bay Miscible Gas Project (PBMGP) was established. In 2002,Gas Cap
Water Injection (GCWI) began, with the goal of stabilizing reservoir pressure.Most recently,
implementation of the Seawater Optimization Plan (SWOP) in 2020 at Flow Station 1 ceased water
injection in a portion of the Prudhoe Bay Waterflood Project.
During the report period of January through December 2024,Prudhoe Oil Pool (POP)production
averaged 142.7 MBOD,7653 MMSCFD (GOR 53,483 SCF/STB), and 1262 MBWD (water-cut
89.8%).Overall injection during this period averaged 1,916 MBWD with 120 MMSCFD of
miscible gas injection.802 Wells contributed to production and 211 wells contributed to injection.

See Exhibit 2 for POP voidage by month. Note –Exhibit 2 does not include aquifer influx as we
cannot directly measure this. However,the full field model and water sample data suggest there
has been some amount of aquifer influx over time.
3.0 PRESSURE UPDATE
Exhibit 3-D (Form 10-412)provides pressure, buildup, and falloff data collected in 2024 at a datum
of 8,800 ft, subsea used for the Ivishak Formation. During 2024, per CO 341I, as modified by the
Commission on July 20, 2016, use of calculated BHP’s from surface data in injectors are permitted.
All of these new data are listed in Exhibit 3-D as “FL”.However, the fluid level calculated
pressures have been excluded from the pressure calculation and map, as it has been observed that
the fluid level pressures are more subject to error. Previous years have been corrected with this
change in the pressure calculation.
Exhibit 3-A provides spatial analysis of pressure static, buildup, and falloff data that was collected
from 2022 through 2024 at a datum of 8,800 ft, subsea for the Ivishak Formation.This map shows
an elevated pressure in the gas cap area as a function of GCWI.
As shown in Exhibit 3-B, the historic pressure decline appears to have stabilized due to gas-cap
water injection.With increased gas cap water injection volumes and the commencement of PAVE
in the end of 2023, we expect to see an increase in average reservoir pressure in 2025.For 2024,
average pressure in the PBMGP project areas using four years of pressure static measurements
was calculated to be 3343 psia by areal weighting, as compared to 3324 psia in 2023.The GD area
pressure remained stable with a calculated value of 3299 psia in 2023 and 3296 psia in 2024
(Exhibit 3-B).Observed changes in pressure appear to be related to statistical variability and
sampling locations.Field voidage replacement ratio was 1.01 in 2024 (not including any potential
aquifer influx).

4.0 MISCIBLE INJECTANT (MI)
AOGCC Conservation Order No. 341I,Rule 12 (c) specifies that “The minimum miscibility
pressure (MMP) of the Miscible Injectant must be maintained at least 100 psi below the average
reservoir pressure in the Prudhoe Bay Miscible Project area. When the Operator demonstrates
that the reservoir pressure is no longer declining within the Prudhoe Bay Miscible Project Area
(as evidenced by reservoir pressure measurements), the MMP may be maintained at or below the
average reservoir pressure in the Prudhoe Bay Miscible Project area.”
As MMP became the constraint on NGL production in the winter of 2018, and the reservoir
pressure has stabilized with the gas cap water injection project, the MMP limit was increased
from 3150 psi to 3200 psi in March of 2019 and further increased to 3300 psi early 2022.The
average measured MMP was 3286 psi in 2024. The average reservoir pressure in the PBMGP
area was above 3300 psi in 2024 as shown in Exhibits 3B and 3C.
There are two MI analyzers at Prudhoe Bay CGF (4901 and 4951). Analyzer 4951 is installed at
the suction side of the MI compressors and analyzer 4901 is installed at the discharge side of the
compressors downstream of the lean gas back blend. Analyzer 4901 was out of calibration from
June to September 2020. However, it was repaired in October 2020 and has been functioning
normally since then. The compositional data reported in Exhibit 4 are the monthly average
values of analyzer 4901 data.
The compositions from the analyzers are used to calculate the daily average MMP at CGF. The
MMP data reported in Exhibit 4 are the monthly averages based on the daily average MMP
calculated at the discharge side of the MI compressors. Engineering judgement is applied to
remove some poor data with extremely high or low values.
5.0 PROJECT SUMMARIES
5.1 SWOP and PAVE
On March 5, 2020,the Commission approved the Seawater Optimization Project (SWOP) which
was implemented in the 2020 plan year in DS-1 and DS-12 of the Eastern Peripheral Wedge Zone
(EPWZ)of the waterflood at these pads.The Commission specified the following two conditions:
Condition 1 states that BPXA is required to include in the Annual Reservoir Surveillance report
for the POP and PROP: “a detailed description of the progress towards returning the PROP to
production”.Condition 2 states that the ASR is to also include “the evaluation of the potential to
improve ultimate recovery by ceasing water injection elsewhere in the POP”.
The SWOP project was implemented August 2020;a description of the Put River Oil Pool plan
is included in section 6.3 of this report.A preferred PAVE implementation plan was selected in
2022 and implementation began in 2023.Activity in 2023 and 2024 included the up-hole
recompletion of 9 FS2 area Zone 1 water injectors to Zones 2, 3 and 4 and the completion of
PAVE1-1 water injector. Collectively, these wells are injecting approximately 180mbwpd of
produced water and we are evaluating options to increase injectivity to further increase injection
to approximately 200mbw/d in these wells.The PAVE 3-1 was recently drilled at FS3 and
2024 ANNUAL RESERVOIR SURVEILLANCE REPORT
PRUDHOE BAY AND PUT RIVER OIL POOLS

should begin injection mid-2025 with injection rates around 75mbwpd.Continued evaluation is
underway of a new water injection well at GC1 to inject an additional 75mbwd into the original
and expanded gas gap.
5.2 Gas Cap Water Injection Project
Details of the volume of water injected into the Gas Cap during 2024 are shown below; units in
thousands of barrels of seawater injected per month (MBWPM):
Month Total GCWI Volume (MBWPM)
1/2024 20,554
2/2024 23,016
3/2024 24,809
4/2024 22,857
5/2024 24,713
6/2024 23,576
7/2024 22,628

10/2024 20,804
11/2024 22,553
12/2024 24,002
The 2024 volume of sea water injected in the PSI wells was 256 million barrels. The cumulative
volume injected at the end of 2024 was 4.1 billion barrels of sea water since the project startup in
2002.

5.2.1 GCWI Surveillance
Pulsed neutron logs (RPM, RMT,etc.) run in offset producers continue to be the primary method
of monitoring water movement from the Gas Cap Water Injection project; however, new drill wells
that intersect the reservoir units of the Ivishak also offer insight into gas-cap water invasion and
migration. By comparing the latest neutron logs with the baseline and previous logs, and new drill
wells with resistivity data –which can corroborate cased hole neutron observations –the presence
of injected water can be assessed. Together, this procedure has provided a clear and evolving
picture of injected sea water in the Ivishak to allow for the monitoring of vertical and lateral
movement.
Exhibit 5 is the locator map for the GCWI area and shows the PSI injectors along with the
observation wells.The pink polygon indicates the interpreted current GCWI waterfront.
Updated surveillance data include,a recently acquired neutron surveillance log for L2-20 and five
coil-tube drill wells (05-13C, 18-13D,18-07D, 18-26C-L1, and L2-29B). The majority of these
new drill wells are within the GCWI area, however, 18-07D and 05-13C were informative as their
initial build sections are located, respectively, near the western and southern boundaries of the
GCWI front. The surveillance log from L2-20, located southwest of the PSI-injectors,indicates
that there is water in the lower Ivishak (1A PBU equity zone), but that the unit is not entirely water
swept.Based on the petrophysical log data for 05-13C, 18-13D, and 18-26C, and 18-29C-L1,
there is evidence of gas-cap water within equity zones 2C-3, 2A, and (+/-) 1B of the Ivishak. L2-
29B kicked out in-zone in the lowermost Ivishak (1A) and identified gas-cap water in the 1A
within the newly drilled area. The build/upper slant for 18-07D did not identify gas-cap water in
zones 2B, 2A, or 1B; however, the well did not intersect zones 2C-3, which is the main high
permeability section for gas-cap water migration. Based on the partial evidence for 18-07D, we
interpret that the western limit of gas-cap water is currently at the build location for 18-07D
(Exhibit 5).Finally, 05-13C, near the southern waterfront, did encounter water in its build,
supporting previous interpretations that the waterfront is south of that well location.
Future surveillance will continue to include repeat neutron logs, new drill wells, and analysis of
production data to monitor the lateral extent of the flood front and water movement within the
Ivishak,and notably how gas-cap water impacts production within zone 1A.From the recent 2024
drill wells with their primary production interval in zone 1A, several have clear evidence of gas-
cap water production, including 05-13C,18-26C,18-29C-L1, and L2-29B.
5.2.2 2025 Surveillance Plans
GCWI Injectors
Injection pressures, rates, and temperatures are recorded for each well every day. Pressure-rate
plots will be routinely monitored for changes in injectivity of the wells.
Observation Well Cased Hole Saturation Logs
This program will continue as it has in the past by running cased hole saturation logs every year

with the final timing and locations determined based on the results to date.
Gravity Survey
The most recent gravity survey was conducted in 2023. HEC may consider another gravity survey
in the future.
5.2.3 Plans for Change in Project Operation
None
5.3 Put River Oil Pool
On November 22, 2005,the AOGCC ruled in Conservation Order 559 that the Western, Central
and Southern Lobes of hydrocarbon bearing Put River sands would be defined as the Put River
Pool and that the Northern Lobe would be included in the Prudhoe Oil Pool.Exhibit 7 displays
all four lobes which are in pressure isolation from each other. Additional technical information
was previously supplied with the application which led to Conservation Order 559. On December
19, 2019, the AOGCC granted BPXA’s request to: (1) to administratively amend Conservation
Order 559A to contract the Put River Oil Pool (PROP) to the area encompassed by the Southern
Lobe of the Put River sandstone; (2) to modify rule 18 of CO341H to ensure that the downhole
commingling ruled authorization that currently allows downhole commingling of any well in the
PROP with the Prudhoe Oil Pool will continue to apply to wells completed within the currently
established bounds of the PROP when the affected area of the PROP is contracted; and (3) a gas
oil ratio exemption to wells completed in the Central and Western lobes of the Put River sandstone
for the purposes of collecting data to develop a reservoir development strategy for those sands in
accordance with 20 AAC 25.240(b)(3).
2024 Production and Injection
For the year 2024,no production came from the Put River Oil Pool. The last production from the
PROP was from the 02-27A win 2020. On 10/28/23 a patch was placed in the 02-27A over the
Put River formation and all subsequent production from the well has been from the POP.
There was no injection in the Southern Lobe of the Put River in 2024. Cumulative Put River water
injection is 14.1 MMBW.All Put River Southern Lobe injection has been from well 01-08A. 01-
08A was shut-in in August 2020 and remains shut-in due to the execution of the SWOP project.
As a result of the injector shut-in, the Put River Southern Lobe producer 02-27A was also shut-in.
The full life cumulative production for the Put River Oil Pool through December 31,2024,was
4.3 MMBO, 9.2 MMBW, and approximately 9.9 BSCF formation gas.(Note that these cumulative
volumes include a technical estimate, based on material balance calculations, of Southern lobe
production from a casing leak in 02-27 between 1994-1997. The cumulative gas volume reported
in this report is reflective of the best technical estimate of the formation gas production from the
PROP; the volume reported in previous ASRs may differ due to accounting for the estimated
casing leak volumes and gas lift volumes.)

Since the commencement of SWOP and the shut-in of all injection at Flow Station 1, options
have been evaluated to restore the PROP to production, including drilling, workover, and non-rig
wellwork options to allow for resumed injection into the PROP. We will continue to consider the
feasibility of alternative sources of injection water to satisfy voidage replacement requirements
needed to resume production from the PROP.
For this report,the reservoir properties in Exhibit 6 for the PROP pertain to the Southern lobe only.

2024 Pressures
The PROP Southern Lobe pressure obtained in 02-23A on 2/27/24 measured 3,742 PSI at -8,100’
SSTVD.
2025 Surveillance Plan
PROP affected area (Southern Lobe)–Due to no production from and no injection into the PROP
since 2020, as well as a historic trend of a consistent reservoir pressure around 3,700 psi since
2020, there are no plans for pressure surveillance in 2025.
5.4 N2 Foam Treatment Program
In 2022 and 2023 a campaign began to pump water and foam into Gravity Drainage producers
and flowback in an attempt to block gas production and reduce producing GORs. Water injection
occurred before foam injection. Multiple injection volumes and periods of well testing during
flowback proved that GOR suppression was possible and helped inform the optimal injection
volume for GOR suppression, on a well-by-well basis.Water injection for GOR suppression has
been executed into 8 gravity drainage wells and observed predictable GOR suppression results,
which last for a period of about one week.
Follow up foam injection has occurred on three wells to date: C-10B, C-22A, and E-24B.
Learnings to date demonstrate that foam treatments can be economic if 4 months of lower GOR
are achieved creating competitive production as observed in C-10B. E-24B (zone 1A) was the
poorest-performing foam treatment so far –lower permeability GD wells appear to be less
favorable for foam. C-10B and C-22A are both higher permeability and similar production rate
Zone 1B/2A wells, but the foam results were quite different.C-22A GOR suppression lasted
2024 ANNUAL RESERVOIR SURVEILLANCE REPORT
PRUDHOE BAY AND PUT RIVER OIL POOLS
12
only about one month. Looking for high-grading clues, however, it looks like the water response
from C-22A was also less favorable than that of C-10B. So perhaps water response can be
predictive of foam performance.Going forward, more water treatments are planned to help high-
grade future foam candidates.A repeat foam treatment on C-10B is being evaluated to optimize
foam treatment design in future candidates.

It was agreed with the commission that the polygon pressures would be calculated differently
starting with the 2005 report, than it had in past reports due to the advent of pressure response to
gas-cap water injection.That methodology consisted of utilizing only the pressure gathered during
the reporting period. Starting with the 2009 report, since the field pressure has stabilized,
pressure points from a rolling three-year period were used to construct the pressure map so as to
reduce the statistical variation induced by changing year-to-year well sets. Exhibit 3-A illustrates
the 2024 pressure map using 2020 through 2024 data points.Four years of data points were used
for the 2024 calculation to a lack of pressure surveys in EWE, which will be collected in 2025 at
which point a three-year rolling average will be resumed.Fluid level data points have been
removed from the analysis this year, as they appeared to introduce too much error.
Using the three-year rolling technique improves the statistical validity of the pressure distribution
since it roughly triples the number of data points employed versus only using the current year
static pressures. As in the past, abnormal pressures, such as pressures taken in fault compartments
and in the Sag River Formation have been removed. For this report, as in the past, pressures taken
in fault compartments, the Sag River Formation, and in Zone 1 of the G-Pad LPA (Low Pressure
Area), which don’t appear to be in good communication with the rest of the reservoir, have been
excluded from Exhibit 3-A. Also excluded were wells shut-in less than a week that had not
stabilized as compared to offsetting statics. Other wells completed in Zone 1 and Zone 4B, which
are in poor communication with the rest of the reservoir and therefore have lower pressures, were
still included in the map and calculations if their shut-in times were deemed long enough.Unless
otherwise noted, all pressure calculations are areally weighted, bound by the main field original
50' LOC contour, and are referenced to a pressure datum of 8,800' SS.
