Our adopted conventions for assigning APl numbers, permit numbers and well names did not specifically address expired or cancelled permits. This omission has caused some inconsistencies in the treatment of these kinds of applications for permit to ddil. Operators have asked us to adopt formal procedures for this class of permit application in order to prevent future database disparities. if a permit expires or is cancelled by an operator, the permit number of the subject permit will remain unchanged. The APl number and in some instances the well name reflect the number of preexisting reddils and or muitilaterais in a well. In order to prevent confusing a cancelled or expired permit with an active well or multilateral these case sensitive well identifiers will be changed for expired and cancelled applications for permits to ddil. The AP! number for this cancelled or expired permit is modified so the eleven and twelfth digits is 95. The well name for a cancelled or expired permit is modified with an appended xx. These procedures are an addendum to the APl numbering methods described in AOGCC staff memorandum "Multi-lateral (wetlbore segment) Ddiling Permit Procedures, revised December 29, 1995. AOGCC database has been changed to reflect these changes to this permit. Statistical Technician March 5, 1991 WALTER J.

Mr. Lonnie Smith AOGCC Dear Sir: Attached is a Permit to Drill for Niksik #1, an Exploratory well we propose to drill South of Prudhoe Bay this Winter in the Kuparuk Uplands area. There is no close approach data included as the nearest well is 9.5 miles away. Also attached as part of the permit is a letter concluding the results of shallow gas surveys in the area indicate no shallow hazard. At this time, we do not have a certified survey of the location. We expect to have this work done within 10 days, at which time a copy of the plat will be sent to the Commission. If there are any questions, please call me at 564-4441. Yours Truly, C.R.

The well is to be drilled from an ice pad to be built approximately 35 miles southwest of W-Pad in the Eileen West End area. An ice road from W-pad will provide access. The well will be a deviated hole to approximately 9225' TVD BKB (9325' MD BKB). No overpressured zones are expected and seismic data indicates no shallow gas pockets. Operation: Install and cement 80' of 20" conductor to surface. diverter. Install 20" Drill 17-1/2" hole vertically to 2500' and cement 13-3/8", 68#/ft, NT8OCYHE, ERW, Buttress casing to surface. Install blowout prevention equipment consisting of 5000 psi W.P. pipe rams, blind rams, and annular preventer. Maximum expected bottom-hole pressure is 4730 psi at 9000' TVDss. Maximum possible surface pressure is 3640 psi based on a gas column to surface. Drill a maximum of 10' of new hole and perform a formation leak-off test. Drill, and core an 8-1/2" hole vertically to TD at approximately 9325' MD. Run open hole logs and seismic. If testing is required, run 7", 29#/ft, L-80 TKC casing from TD to surface and cement using Class G cement. Any testing will be done with the rig on location. Clean out to 7" float equipment. Change over to 10.2 ppg NaCI completion fluid. Test casing to 3000 psi. Rig up test facilities and flow test the well through drill pipe or tubing. RECEIVED FEB 2 1 1.991 .Oi~ & Gas Cons, Suspend or abandon the well with the appropriate plugs and markers according to AOGCC regulations. Move the rig and equipment from location and clean the pad and the ice road access area. Non-hazardous waste fluids incidental to the well will be trucked from the location to an approved disposal site or pumped down the 7" x 13-3/8" annulus. If the well is suspended, the 7" x 13-3/8" annulus and the inside of the 7" casing will be adequately freeze protected.

The analysis consisted of examining interval velocity records from seismic stacking velocities across the well site (see attachments) looking for anomalous Iow velocity zones not penetrated in surrounding wells (Wolfbutton 25-6-9 & Toolik Fed. #2). None of the intervals at the proposed well site showed this character. One minor anomaly does occur about 4 miles to the SE of the drillsite on line WG83-42 in the MBK50 interval, but the uniqueness of this point and the small velocity drop (2000 FPS) suggest that this is not an overpressure zone. Because of these results, and the lack of overpressure in other nearby wells, we conclude that there is no evidence of an overpressured zone in the Kuparuk Uplands 'E' well. The shallow gas requirements for this well are discussed in an exploration memo dated November 20,1990 which checked all the Kuparuk Uplands locations. That survey concluded that this location contains no shallow gas risk. WHF/wf attachments cc: J.M.Spatz M.Miller AK 3407-7 ('1/89) l ?~O?os~o '~oc^~o.

Fulroth November 20, 1990 SUBJECT: Shallow Gas Survey for 1990-91 KuDaruk Uolands Drilling In Compliance with the Alaska state permitting requirements, the potential for shallow gas sources in the first 2000 ft. of each permitted well site (Kuparuk Uplands 'A' through 'F') was checked. The analysis consisted of examining CDP records across each well site (see attachments)looking for the following effects: anomalous high (or Iow) amplitude reflectors, velocity pull-downs, or phase changes. None of the proposed well sites showed any of these features. in addition, interval velocities near the drill sites showed no anomalous lows which might indicate gas zones. Because of these results, and the lack of shallow gas in other nearby wells, we conclude that there is no evidence of shallow pressured gas on any of the Kuparuk Uplands wells.
