Hilcorp would like to add a sand below the bottom interval of the already approved perf table. We just cleaned out to
the float collar at 10,672’ with coil tubing which accessed this zone we did not think was accessible. The T120 was

the interval from 10,552’ to 10,567’.

Scott,
Hilcorp has approval to perf the Tyonek perfs that are already approved in the Sundry 325-
181), as shallow as 6895’ MD. Any shallower perforating will need further cement log analysis
or possibly remedial cement as the cement quality above 6770’ md is getting progressively
more suspect.

STANDARD WELL PROCEDURE
NITROGEN OPERATIONS
12/08/2015 FINAL v1 Page 1 of 1
1.) MIRU Nitrogen Pumping Unit and Liquid Nitrogen Transport.
2.) Notify Pad Operator of upcoming Nitrogen operations.
3.) Perform Pre-Job Safety Meeting. Review Nitrogen vendor standard operating procedures and
appropriate Safety Data Sheets (formerly MSDS).
4.) Document hazards and mitigation measures and confirm flow paths. Include review on
asphyxiation caused by nitrogen displacing oxygen. Mitigation measures include appropriate
routing of flowlines, adequate venting and atmospheric monitoring.
5.) Spot Pumping Unit and Transport. Confirm liquid N2 volumes in transport.
6.) Rig up lines from the Nitrogen Pumping Unit to the well and returns tank. Secure lines with whip
checks.
7.) Place signs and placards warning of high pressure and nitrogen operations at areas where
Nitrogen may accumulate or be released.
8.) Place pressure gauges downstream of liquid and nitrogen pumps to adequately measure tubing
and casing pressures.
9.) Place pressure gauges upstream and downstream of any check valves.
10.) Wellsite Manager shall walk down valve alignments and ensure valve position is correct.
11.) Ensure portable 4-gas detection equipment is onsite, calibrated, and bump tested properly to
detect LEL/H2S/CO2/O2 levels. Ensure Nitrogen vendor has a working and calibrated detector as
well that measures O2 levels.
12.) Pressure test lines upstream of well to approved sundry pressure or MPSP (Maximum Potential
Surface Pressure), whichever is higher. Test lines downstream of well (from well to returns tank)
to 1,500 psi. Perform visual inspection for any leaks.
13.) Bleed off test pressure and prepare for pumping nitrogen.
14.) Pump nitrogen at desired rate, monitoring rate (SCFM) and pressure (PSI). All nitrogen returns
are to be routed to the returns tank.
15.) When final nitrogen volume has been achieved, isolate well from Nitrogen Pumping Unit and
bleed down lines between well and Nitrogen Pumping Unit.
16.) Once you have confirmed lines are bled down, no trapped pressure exists, and no nitrogen has
accumulated begin rig down of lines from the Nitrogen Pumping Unit.
17.) Finalize job log and discuss operations with Wellsite Manager. Document any lessons learned
and confirm final rates/pressure/volumes of the job and remaining nitrogen in the transport.
18.) RDMO Nitrogen Pumping Unit and Liquid Nitrogen Transport.

the initial perf sundry applications.
Direction survey
Open hole data
Daily reports
CBL is scheduled to be run within the next week and I will send that as soon as it is available. 3
We plan to have coil on the well to blow dry as early as Tuesday 4/1. Hilcorp is requesting verbal
approval to proceed with the coil blowdown operations as laid out in the sundry. Perforations are
not planned to begin until ~4/7 most likely but Hilcorp will not proceed with perforations of course
until receiving final approval from the AOGCC pending review and CBL submission.

Dear Mr. McLaughlin
Enclosed is the approved application for the permit to drill the above referenced well.
The permit is approved subject to full compliance with 20 AAC 25.055. Approval to produce or
inject is contingent upon issuance of a conservation order approving a spacing exception. The
Operator assumes the liability of any protest to the spacing exception that may occur.
Per Statute AS 31.05.030(d)(2)(B) and Regulation 20 AAC 25.071, composite curves for all well
logs run must be submitted to the AOGCC within 90 days after completion, suspension, or
abandonment of this well, or within 90 days of acquisition of the data, whichever occurs first.
This permit to drill does not exempt you from obtaining additional permits or an approval required
by law from other governmental agencies and does not authorize conducting drilling operations
until all other required permits and approvals have been issued. In addition, the AOGCC reserves
the right to withdraw the permit in the event it was erroneously issued.
Operations must be conducted in accordance with AS 31.05 and Title 20, Chapter 25 of the Alaska
Administrative Code unless the AOGCC specifically authorizes a variance. Failure to comply
with an applicable provision of AS 31.05, Title 20, Chapter 25 of the Alaska Administrative Code,
or an AOGCC order, or the terms and conditions of this permit may result in the revocation or
suspension of the permit.
Sincerely,

Drilling Procedure
PTD xxx-xxx
7.0 Drilling / Completion Summary
HVB-18 is an S-shaped directional grassroots development well to be drilled from Happy Valley B Pad.
Reservoir analysis and subsurface mapping has identified an optimal location for infill development of the
Tyonek and Lower Beluga sands.
The base plan is an S-shaped directional wellbore with a kickoff point at ~300’ MD. Maximum hole angle
will be ~62 deg. and TD of the well will be 10540’ TMD/ 9286’ TVD, ending with 12 deg inclination.
Drilling operations are expected to commence approximately March, 2025. The Hilcorp Rig # 169 will be
used to drill the wellbore then run casing and cement.
Surface casing will be run to 3862’ MD / 2845’ TVD and cemented to surface to ensure protection of any
shallow freshwater resources. Cement returns to surface will confirm TOC at surface. If cmt returns to surface
are not observed, a cement evaluation log (CBL/VDL or temperature log for example)maybe runto determine
TOC. Necessary remedial action will then be discussed with AOGCC authorities.
All waste & mud generated during drilling and completion operations will be hauled to the Kenai Gas Field
G&I facility for disposal / beneficial reuse depending on test results.
General sequence of operations:
1. MOB Hilcorp Rig # 169 to wellsite
2. N/U diverter and test.
3. Drill 12-1/4” hole to 3862’ MD. Run and cmt 9-5/8” surface casing.
4. Test casing to 3500 psi. Perform 13.0# FIT
5. ND diverter, N/U & test 11” x 5M BOP to 3000 psi
6. Drill 8-1/2” hole section to 10540’ MD.
7. Run and cmt 4-1/2” production liner.
8. POOH and LDDP.
9. RIH and land 4-1/2” tieback string in liner top.
10. Test IA to 2500; Test tubing to 2500 psi
11. N/D BOP, N/U temp abandonment cap, RDMO.

8.0 Mandatory Regulatory Compliance / Notifications
Regulatory Compliance
Ensure that our drilling and completion operations comply with the below AOGCC regulations. If
additional clarity or guidance is required on how to comply with a specific regulation, do not hesitate to
contact the Anchorage Drilling Team.
x BOPs shall be tested at (2) week intervals during the drilling of HVB-18. Ensure to provide
AOGCC 48 hrs notice prior to testing BOPs.
x The initial test of BOP equipment will be 250/3000 psi & subsequent tests of the BOP equipment
will be to 250/3000 psi for 5/10 min (annular to 50% rated WP, 2500 psi on the high test for initial
and subsequent tests).Confirm that these test pressures match those specified on the APD.
x If the BOP is used to shut in on the well in a well control situation, we must test all BOP
components utilized for well control prior to the next trip into the wellbore. This pressure test will
be charted same as the 14 day BOP test.
x All AOGCC regulations within 20 AAC 25.033 “Primary well control for drilling: drilling fluid
program and drilling fluid system”.
x All AOGCC regulations within 20 AAC 25.035 “Secondary well control for primary drilling and
completion: blowout prevention equipment and diverter requirements”
x Ensure AOGCC approved drilling permits are posted on the rig floor and in Co Man office.
x Review all conditions of approval of the AOGCC PTD on the 10-401 form. Ensure that the
conditions of approval are captured in shift handover notes until they are executed and complied
with.

23.0 Anticipated Drilling Hazards
12-1/4” Hole Section:
Lost Circulation:
Ensure 500 lbs of medium/coarse fibrous material & 500 lbs different sizes of Calcium Carbonate are
available on location to mix LCM pills at moderate product concentrations.
Hole Cleaning:
Maintain rheology w/ gel and gel extender. Sweep hole with gel or flowzan sweeps as necessary.
Optimize solids control equipment to maintain density, sand content, and reduce the waste stream.
Maintain YP between 25 – 45 to optimize hole cleaning and control ECD.
Wellbore stability:
Lithology through this zone is a composite of pebble conglomerate and sand in the upper intervals with
intermittent clay matrix. Carbonaceous material and coal may be noted. Gravel sizes that are larger
than normal can cause hole-cleaning problems. If encountered, be prepared to increase the viscosity.
Excessive quantities of gravel and sand may indicate wellbore instability. Increase properties up to a YP
of ~50 - ~60 lbs/100ft2 to combat this issue. Maintain low flow rates for the initial 200’ of drilling to
reduce the likelihood of washing out the conductor shoe.
To help ensure good cement to surface after running the casing, condition the mud to a YP of 25 – 30
prior to cement operations. Do not lower the YP beyond 25 to avoid trouble with sands that may be
found on this well. Have Desco DF, SAPP, and water on hand to ensure the desired rheologies can be
achieved.
H2S:
H2S is not present in this hole section.
No abnormal pressures or temperatures are present in this hole section.
8-1/2” Hole Section:
Lost Circulation:

HVB-18
Drilling Procedure
PTD xxx-xxx
Ensure 1000 lbs of each of the different sizes of Calcium Carbonate are available on location to mix
LCM pills at moderate product concentrations.
Hole Cleaning:
Maintain rheology w/ viscosifier as necessary. Sweep hole w/ 20 bbls hi-vis pills as necessary.
Optimize solids control equipment to maintain density and minimize sand content. Maintain YP
between 20 - 30 to optimize hole cleaning and control ECD.
Wellbore stability:
Maintain MW as necessary using additions of Calcium Carbonate as weighting material. A torque
reduction lube may be used in this hole section in concentrations up to 3% if needed. Maintain 6% KCl
in system for shale inhibition.
Coal Drilling:
The following lessons were learned from extensive experience drilling coal seams in Cook Inlet. The
need for good planning and drilling practices is also emphasized as a key component for success.
x Keep the drill pipe in tension to prevent a whipping effect which can disturb coal sections.
x Use asphalt-type additives to further stabilize coal seams.
x Increase fluid density as required to control running coals.
x Emphasize good hole cleaning through hydraulics, ROP and system rheology.
H2S:
H2S is not present in this hole section.
Reservoir Pressure:
No abnormal pressures are present in this hole section.

25.0 FIT/LOT Procedure
Formation Integrity Test (FIT) and
Leak-Off Test (LOT) Procedures
Procedure for FIT:
1. Drill 20' of new formation below the casing shoe (this does not include rat hole below the shoe).
2. Circulate the hole to establish a uniform mud density throughout the system. P/U into the shoe.
3. Close the blowout preventer (ram or annular).
4. Pump down the drill stem at 1/4 to 1/2 bpm.
5. On a graph with the recent casing test already shown, plot the fluid pumped (volume or strokes) vs.
drill pipe pressure until appropriate surface pressure is achieved for FIT at shoe.
6. Shut down at requiredsurface pressure. Hold for a minimum 10 minutes or until the pressure stabilizes.
Record time vs. pressure in 1-minute intervals.
7. Bleed the pressure off and record the fluid volume recovered.
The pre-determined surface pressure for each formation integrity test is based on achieving an EMW at
least 1.0 ppg higher than the estimated reservoir pressure, and allowing for an appropriate amount of kick
tolerance in case well control measures are required.
Where required, the LOT is performed in the same fashion as the formation integrity test. Instead of
stopping at a pre-determined point, surface pressure is increased until the formation begins to take fluid;
at this point the pressure will continue to rise, but at a slower rate. The system is shut in and pressure
monitored as with an FIT.
