By application dated May 15, 2024, Hilcorp Alaska, LLC (Hilcorp) requested authorization for underground disposal of Class II oil field waste fluids into the existing Ninilchik Unit (NU) well Susan Dionne 8 (SD8; API Number 50-133-20611-00-00). 2. Within the application, Hilcorp provided an affidavit stating all surface owners within a one- quarter mile of existing SD8 well were provided a copy of the application for disposal. 3. Pursuant to 20 AAC 25.540, the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (AOGCC) tentatively scheduled a public hearing for July 16, 2024. On May 30, 2024, the AOGCC published notice of that hearing on the State of Alaska’s Online Public Notice website, the AOGCC’s website, and electronically transmitted the notice to all persons on the AOGCC’s email distribution list. On June 2, 2024, the notice was published in the Anchorage Daily News. On June 5, 2024, the notice was published in the Peninsula Clarion. 4. The AOGCC did not receive any requests to hold the hearing, public comments, or protests. 5. The public hearing tentatively scheduled for July 16, 2024 was vacated. 6. Hilcorp’s application, testimony, supplemental information, and AOGCC’s public records provide sufficient information to make an informed decision. FINDINGS: 1. Location of Adjacent Wells (20 AAC 25.252(c)(1)) SD8 is an idle gas development well located on the Susan Dionne drill site within the NU. The bottomhole location for the well is 482 feet from the north line and 682 feet from the west line of Section 7, Township 1S, Range 13W, Seward Meridian (SM). Only one well, Susan Dionne 1A (SD1A; API Number 50-133-10002-01-00), penetrates Hilcorp’s informally named Beluga 135 zone within a ¼-mile radius of SD8 (see Figure 1). SD1A was completed in the Beluga 135 zone at a location approximately 80 feet from SD8 to gather data about the reservoir and its suitability for disposal injection operations. SD1A and SD8 both have good cement across the proposed injection zone and its confining layers. 2. Notification of Operators and Surface Owners (20 AAC 25.252(c)(2) and 20 AAC 25.252(c)(3)) Hilcorp is the only operator within a ¼-mile radius of the proposed disposal well. Hilcorp identified and notified 13 surface owners within a ¼-mile radius of SD8. Disposal Injection Order 47 August 8, 2024 Page 2 of 9 Figure 1. Index Map – SD8 Area The green dashed line represents the SD8 boundary; the red dashed circle represents a radius of one-quarter mile from the planned disposal zone. (Source: Hilcorp Alaska, LLC’s application) 3. Geological Information on Disposal and Confining Zones (20 AAC 25.252(c)(4)) In SD8, Hilcorp’s proposed disposal injection zone lies within the Beluga Formation (Beluga) between 3,896’ and 3,945’ measured depth (MD), which are equivalent to 3,754’ and 3,799’ true vertical depth (TVD). This requested interval is a portion of Hilcorp’s informally named Beluga 135 zone. It consists of very fine- to fine-grained, moderately to well-sorted sandstone that was deposited as part of a vertical sequence of stacked fluvial channels that are separated by intervals of interlaminated mudstones and siltstones with occasionalthin coal seams. Beluga 135 sand porosity ranges from 19 to 30% and permeability ranges from 3 to 139 millidarcies. The top of the Beluga 135 zone is marked by a thin coal seam that can be correlated across the local geologic structure. There are no known faults at these depths in the vicinity of the Susan Dionne Pad. Upper confinement is provided by an aggregate of more than 115 true vertical feet of laterally continuous, interlaminated mudstones and siltstones with occasional thin coal seams that constitute Hilcorp’s Beluga 131 to upper Beluga 135 intervals. Lower confinement is provided by more than 75 true vertical feet of laterally continuous mudstone and siltstone layers with occasional thin coal seams within the lower Beluga 135, Beluga 136, and Tyonek T-2 intervals. 4. Well Logs (20 AAC 25.252(c)(5)) Log data for SD8, SD1A, and the other nearby wells are on file with the AOGCC. Disposal Injection Order 47 August 8, 2024 Page 3 of 9 5. Demonstration of Mechanical Integrity and Disposal Zone Isolation (20 AAC 25.252(c)(6)) The casing across the proposed disposal zone in SD8 is 7-5/8” 29.7# L-80. Cement across the disposal zone and confining layers consists of 352 barrels (bbls) of 14.5 pounds per gallon (ppg) Class G lead and 62 bbls of 15.5 ppg Class G. A subsequent Cement Bond Log (CBL) run on September 20, 2013, showed top of cement at 1,550’ MD and sufficient cement across the Beluga 135 disposal zone and associated confining layers for isolation.

Beluga 135 Structure Map – SD8 Area Red circle represents the requested aquifer exemption area (one-quarter-mile radius). (Source: Hilcorp Alaska, LLC) The tubing is isolated from the casing with two hydraulic-set isolation packers straddling the Beluga 135 disposal zone. The annulus was pressure tested to 2,000 pounds per square inch (psi) in 2014. In SD8, open perforations in the underlying Tyonek Formation will be isolated, and the Beluga 135 disposal zone will be perforated prior to disposal operations. An injection test in the disposal zone will be performed, and the results will be detailed in a Sundry Report (AOGCC’s Form 10-404). Hilcorp will perform a Mechanical Integrity Test (MIT) once the Beluga 135 Disposal Injection Order 47 August 8, 2024 Page 5 of 9 disposal zone is isolated and ready for disposal operations. This testing, as proposed, meets the requirements of 20 AAC 25.412. 6. Disposal Fluid Type, Composition, Source, Volume, and Compatibility with Disposal Zone (20 AAC 25.252(c)(7)) Waste disposal injection will consist primarily of solids-free produced water from Hilcorp's NU operations, and other fluids eligible for injection into a Class II disposal well. The average daily disposal volume will depend on whether Deep Creek Unit well NNA 1 remains the primary disposal well for NU operations. If so, disposal will only occur in SD8 if additional disposal capacity is required or if NNA 1 needs to be supplemented. The maximum daily disposal volume is currently 3,000 bbls, and during 2023 it averaged 292 bbls. This corresponds to an average injection rate of 2.0 barrels per minute (bpm). This rate and daily disposal volume is consistent with DIO 28, which authorizes injection disposal operations in NNA 1, and fracture modeling used to validate confinement of injected fluids. No compatibility issues were identified when Hilcorp collected and analyzed fluid samples destined for disposal in NNA 1 and compared these to water samples from the equivalent Beluga 135 zone in SD1A. 7. Estimated Injection Pressures (20 AAC 25.252(c)(8)) The estimated maximum injection pressure will be 2,025 pounds per square inch gauge (psig) and 2.0 bpm. An injectivity test was performed in strata equivalent to the Beluga 135 disposal zone in nearby SD1A well at various rates (Sundry 323-142) indicating an average injection pressure of 1800-1900 psi to achieve a 2.0 bpm rate. 8. Evaluation of Confining Zones (20 AAC 25.252(c)(9)) The effectiveness of the confining zones – both upper and lower – has been demonstrated by an injectivity test performed in the Beluga 135 disposal zone in SD1A. Analysis of these results was provided in Hilcorp’s application. Stimulation model results for the proposed disposal zone, using a third-party model, were submitted as part of Hilcorp’s application. This modeling found that the planned disposal operations into the proposed disposal zone, as outlined in the application, will not propagate fractures through the confining zones. Based on the geologic similarities and very close proximity of SD1A to SD8, the fracture modeling submitted with the application is considered applicable to SD8. The previously proposed injection rates, volumes, and pressures are in line with the fracture modeling results. 9. Standard Laboratory Water Analysis of the Formation (20 AAC 25.252(c)(10)); Aquifer Exemption (20 AAC 25.252(c)(11)) Standard laboratory water analyses for samples collected from the Beluga 135 in nearby well SD1A were submitted with Hilcorp’s application. Water samples obtained from SD1A are considered representative of the formation waters in SD8 due to close proximity. Hilcorp has applied, in conjunction to this DIO application, for an Aquifer Exemption Order (AEO) under AOGCC Docket AEO-24-001. That application aims to exempt those portions of aquifers within a ¼-mile radius of SD8 that are common to and correlate with the Beluga 135 disposal zone in SD8. Although the Total Dissolved Solids content of the Beluga 135 Disposal Injection Order 47 August 8, 2024 Page 6 of 9 formation waters is quite low (1,700 to 1,920 mg/l), in the AOGCC’s judgement the Beluga 135 zone will not serve as a source of water for human consumption because it is gas-bearing, excessively contaminated by six metals and several organic compounds, lies at great depth requiring a well that would be very expensive to drill, equip, maintain, and operate, and is located in an area having plentiful very shallow freshwater aquifers. There are 13 registered water wells and five subsurface water rights authorizations recorded within Sections 5, 6, 7, and 8 of T1S, R13W, SM that lie within about 1-1/2 miles of the proposed injection zone. The deepest and closest drinking-water well in this area is the Susan Dionne Pad Water Well, which is 257 feet deep and located on the same drill site. The total depth reached by this water well lies about 3,450 vertical feet shallower than the top of the planned injection zone in SD8. There are no other water wells within one-half mile radius of the planned injection zone within SD8. The other registered wells and subsurface water rights mentioned above range in depth from 50’ to 200’. In addition, Hilcorp identified two public water system sources wells in the area: a 200-foot deep well at Scenic View RV Park located 1.8 miles northeast of Susan Dionne 8, and a 45-foot deep well at Ninilchik 132.6 Cabins and RV Park is located three miles southwest of Susan Dionne 8. 10. Mechanical Condition of Wells Penetrating the Disposal Zone Within a ¼-Mile Radius of the proposed disposal wells (20 AAC 25.252(c)(12)) Only one well, SD1A, penetrates the Beluga 135 disposal zone within a 1/4-mile radius of the existing SD8 well. Construction information for each well, including cement tops for casing set across the Beluga 135, is summarized in the application. Detailed well construction information is in the AOGCC’s well files. In addition, Hilcorp has summarized the results of the CBLs run for the two wells, and the logs are on file with AOGCC. CONCLUSIONS: 1. The application requirements and conditions for approval of an underground disposal application in 20 AAC 25.252 have been met. 2. The Beluga 135 aquifer within a 1/4-mile radius of the proposed disposal zone within SD8 is judged to qualify as exempt under 20 AAC 25.440 because it is hydrocarbon bearing, contaminated by metals and organic compounds, and is located at such a depth that makes it economically and technologically impractical to serve as a source of drinking water now or in the future. Hilcorp has separately applied for an Aquifer Exemption Order (AEO) under AOGCC Docket AEO-24-001. An AOGCC issued AEO is not effective for disposal operations until approved by the United States Environmental Protection Agency under 20 AAC 25.440 (d)(1). 3. The proposed Beluga 135 disposal zone and associated confining layers are laterally continuous over this portion of the NU. Interlaminated mudstones, siltstones, and thin coal seams totaling approximately 115’ true vertical thickness above, and about 75’ true vertical thickness below, the injection zone will confine injected wastes. 4. Injected fluids will remain confined to the intended zone as supported by injectivity results from correlative sands within the nearby SD1A well. 5. Waste fluids will be contained within the Beluga 135 disposal zone by the confining lithologies based on the SD1A modeled injection rates, volumes, fluid densities, and pressures, which exceed expected SD8 operating conditions. Cement isolation of the injection zone in the well bore and operating conditions further support the AOGCC’s conclusion about confinement. Disposal Injection Order 47 August 8, 2024 Page 7 of 9 6. No fluid or formation compatibility issues are expected by disposing of water produced from the Beluga, Sterling, and Tyonek Formations into the Beluga 135 disposal zone at SD8. 7. Reviews of mechanical integrity of the SD8 and SD1A wells show that for the expected volumes the wellbores are adequately cemented and cased to prevent the movement of injected fluids outside of the disposal zone. Supplemental mechanical integrity demonstrations and surveillance of injection operations are appropriate to ensure waste fluids are contained within the disposal zone. Included are mechanical integrity testing, temperature surveys, monitoring of injection performance (pressures and rates), and analysis of the data for indications of anomalous events. NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED THAT Hilcorp’s request for authorization for underground disposal of Class II fluids into well SD8 is GRANTED. The following rules, in addition to statewide requirements under AS 31.05 and 20 AAC 25—to the extent not superseded by these rules—govern Class II disposal injection operations into the Beluga 135 Disposal Zone within the SD8 well. RULE 1: Injection Strata for Disposal Underground disposal of the Class II fluids listed below is permitted into the Beluga 135 Disposal Zone within SD8 in the zone that is common to and correlates with the interval between 3,896’ and 3,945’ MD (equivalent to 3,754’ and 3,799’ TVD) in well SD8 (API Number 50-133-20611- 00-00). RULE 2: Authorized Fluids This authorization is limited to Class II eligible waste fluids generated within the NU during drilling, production, workover, or abandonment operations, including: Drilling fluids; drill cuttings; well workover fluids; stimulation fluids and solids; produced water; rig wash water; formation materials; naturally occurring radioactive materials; scale; tracer materials; glycol dehydration; reserve pit fluids; chemicals used in the well or for production processing at the surface (in direct contact with produced fluids); and precipitation accumulating in drilling and production impoundment areas. The eligibility of other fluids for Class II waste disposal injection will be considered by the AOGCC on a case-by-case basis upon application by the operator. Commercial Class II disposal injection (i.e., fluids from a different operator or from a different unit) is prohibited. RULE 3: Injection Rate and Pressure Injection rates and pressures must be maintained such that the injected fluids will not initiate or propagate fractures through the confining zones or migrate out of the approved injection stratum. Disposal injection is authorized at (a) rates that do not exceed 2.0 bpm and (b) surface pressures that do not exceed 2,025 psig. RULE 4: Demonstration of Mechanical Integrity The mechanical integrity of SD8 must be demonstrated before injection begins and before returning the well to service following a workover affecting mechanical integrity. An AOGCC- witnessed mechanical integrity test must be performed after injection is commenced for the first time in the well, to be scheduled when injection conditions (temperature, pressure, rate, etc.) have stabilized. Subsequent mechanical integrity tests must be performed at least once every two years Disposal Injection Order 47 August 8, 2024 Page 8 of 9 after the date of the first AOGCC-witnessed test if the well injects solids laden slurries, and at least once every four years if the well only injects solids-free fluids. The AOGCC must be notified at least 24 hours in advance to enable a representative to witness a mechanical integrity test. Unless an alternative means is approved by the AOGCC, mechanical integrity must be demonstrated by a tubing/casing annulus pressure test using a surface pressure equivalent to the maximum injection pressure, or 1500 psi, whichever is greater, that shows stabilizing pressure and does not change more than 10 percent during a 30-minute period. Results of mechanical integrity tests must be readily available for AOGCC inspection. RULE 5: Well Integrity Failure and Confinement The operator shall immediately shut in the well if continued operation would be unsafe or threaten contamination of freshwater, or if directed by the AOGCC. If fluids are found to be fracturing through a confining zone or migrating out of the approved injection stratum, the operator must immediately shut in the well. Upon discovery of such an event, the operator must immediately notify the AOGCC, provide details of the operation, and propose actions to prevent recurrence. Injection may not be restarted until approved by the AOGCC. A monthly report of daily tubing and casing annuli pressures and injection rates must be provided to the AOGCC if the well indicates any well integrity failure or lack of injection zone isolation. The AOGCC may immediately suspend, revoke, or modify this authorization if injected fluids fail to be confined to the approved disposal zone. RULE 6: Surveillance The operator shall run a baseline temperature log and perform a baseline step-rate test prior to initial injection. A subsequent temperature log must be run one month after injection begins to delineate the receiving zone of the injected fluids. The operator shall perform an annual reservoir pressure survey of the disposal zone. Surface pressures and rates must be monitored continuously during injection for any indications of anomalous conditions. Results of daily wellhead pressure observations must be documented and available to the AOGCC upon request. The conduct of subsequent temperature surveys or other surveillance logging (e.g., water flow; acoustic) will be based on the results of the initial and follow-up temperature surveys and injection performance monitoring data. The annual report of underground injection (Form 10-413) shall also include data sufficient to characterize the disposal operation, including, among other information, the following: injection and annuli pressures (i.e., daily average, maximum, and minimum pressures); fluid volumes injected (i.e., in disposal and clean fluid sweeps); injection rates; an assessment of the fracture geometry; a description of any anomalous injection results; a calculated zone of influence for the injected fluids; and an assessment of the applicability of the disposal order findings, conclusions, and rules based on actual performance. The annual report must be submitted by July 1st. The annual report shall also include a section titled “Induced Seismicity” in which the operator shall detail its monitoring efforts and evaluate the risks. RULE 7: Notification of Improper Class II Injection Injection of fluids other than those listed in Rule 2 without prior authorization is considered improper Class II injection. Upon discovery of such an event, the operator must immediately notify the AOGCC, provide details of the operation, and propose actions to prevent recurrence. Disposal Injection Order 47 August 8, 2024 Page 9 of 9 Notification or other legal requirements of any other State or Federal agency remain the operator's responsibility.

In accordance with 20 AAC 25.556(d), the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (AOGCC) hereby GRANTS Hilcorp’s request to amend DIO 47 Rule 2: Authorized Fluids, to authorize disposal of Hilcorp generated wastes from additional Units. In addition, on its own motion, AOGCC amends DIO 47 Rule 2, to authorize commercial disposal operations (i.e. wastes generated from other operators, and/or from other Units). In addition, on its own motion, AOGCC amends DIO 47 Rule 6: Surveillance, to increase reporting requirements. In addition, on its own motion, AOGCC amends DIO 28A Rule 2: Authorized Fluids, to authorize commercial disposal operations, amends DIO 28A Rule 5: Surveillance, to increase reporting DIO 47.001 DIO 28A.001 DIO 30A.001 March 19, 2025 Page 2 of 5 requirements, and rescinds DIO 28A Rule 7: Administrative Action. Administrative action of an AOGCC issued order is now authorized under 20 AAC 25.556(d). In addition, on its own motion, in accordance with 20 AAC 25.556(c)(1), AOGCC concludes that DIO 30A has EXPIRED. DIO 30A was issued on June 14, 2005, but the proposed disposal well NNA-2 was not drilled and as such disposal operations did not commence. NOW THEREFORE IT IS ORDERED THAT: DIO 47 shall be amended to read as follows: RULE 2: Authorized Fluids This authorization is limited to Class II eligible waste fluids generated during drilling, production, workover, or abandonment operations, including: Drilling fluids; drill cuttings; well workover fluids; stimulation fluids and solids; produced water; rig wash water; formation materials; naturally occurring radioactive materials; scale; tracer materials; glycol dehydration; reserve pit fluids; chemicals used in the well or for production processing at the surface (in direct contact with produced fluids); and precipitation accumulating in drilling and production impoundment areas. The eligibility of other fluids for Class II waste disposal injection will be considered by the AOGCC on a case-by-case basis upon application by the operator. Commercial Class II oil field waste disposal is approved.

Any concerns? We are also looking to do the same for DIO 28A. Any concerns? I note DIO 30A for NNA #2 was also a Deep Creek DIO - but I cannot find NNA 2 and no DIO 30A reporting which makes me think the well was not drilled and that the DIO 30A should be expired based on no disposal. Please confirm and let me know if I am missing anything. Are there any additional Class II wells in Ninilchik/Deep Creek/ road access corridor that I should authorize for commercial disposal with increased reporting requirements (same as DIO 34B) at this time?

The eligibility of other fluids for Class II waste disposal injection will be considered by the AOGCC on a case-by-case basis upon application by the operator. Commercial Class II disposal injection (i.e., fluids from a different operator or from a different unit) is prohibited. Hilcorp requests the ability to inject authorized waste fluids per DIO 47 Rule 2 that are generated from other Hilcorp Alaska, LLC operated fields on the Kenai Peninsula. Having this capability increases the available well stock and flexibility for managing eligible Class II waste fluids. Having additional Class II disposal locations also provides shorter trucking options and the ability to address seasonal road conditions that affect Hilcorp’s primary disposal well in the Ninilchik area, Deep Creek Unit NNA No. 1 (NNA-1). Per the original DIO 47 permit application, the Susane Dionne 8 (SD-8) disposal well is intended to provide backup capacity for the NNA 1 disposal well. NNA 1 currently injects fluids trucked in from the Ninilchik Unit, Deep Creek Unit and Niolaevsk (“Red Pad”)” and is expected to be utilized for additional development of the Cottonfield, Whiskey Gulch and Seaview prospects. 3800 Centerpoint Drive, Suite 1400 Anchorage, AK 99503 Phone: 907-777-8319 Email: dtaylor@hilcorp.com In accordance with 20 AAC 25.252 (section c, 7), Hilcorp’s application stated, “The primary disposal fluid planned for SD-8 is formation fluid from NU and other fields in the Kenai Peninsula. Waste disposal injection may also include other fluids eligible for Class II injection.” The term “other fields” is a reference to Hilcorp Alaska, LLC lease properties only and was not intended to include third parties or Harvest. Fluids eligible for Class II injection will be manifested to SD-8 using the Cook Inlet-Kenai Manifest. Employees and contractors who manifest wastes to Hilcorp’s injection facilities receive training every 2 years in Hilcorp’s Waste Management and Manifesting Training. Hilcorp maintains records concerning the nature and composition of injected fluids until three years after the well is plugged and abandoned. Manifests are kept on-site for at least one year after which they are forwarded to Anchorage for archiving.

B.. HILCORP ALASKA, LLC May 15, 2024 Chairman Brett Huber, Sr. Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission 333 West 7th Avenue Anchorage, Alaska 99501 Subject: Application to convert Susan Dionne Well 8 (PTD 213-051) to Class II Disposal Dear Chairman Huber: Hilcorp Alaska, LLC (“Hilcorp”) submits this application for Susan Dionne 8 (“SD-8”) to be used for Class II disposal into the proposed disposal interval between approximately 3,550-3,950’ true vertical depth (TVD). This document covers the information required in 20 AAC 25.252 (c) and provides a brief overview of SD-8, the surrounding development, and the intended disposal zone. Hilcorp owns and operates the Susan Dionne pad which produces gas from the Ninilchik Unit (“NU”), as defined as the Affected Area described in Conservation Order No. 701C and shown in Exhibit A-1. Susan Dionne pad is in the town of Ninilchik, on the eastern margin of Cook Inlet, approximately 90 miles southwest of the city of Anchorage. Currently, produced water from Hilcorp’s NU operations, including Deep Creek Unit and Nikolaevsk (“Red Pad”), is hauled by truck to the Deep Creek Unit NNA No. 1 (“NNA 1”) well for disposal under DIO 28. NNA 1 is 7.5 miles inland from Ninilchik and accessed via an unpaved road that is subject to closures with inclement weather. Due to NNA 1’s daily injection and remote location relative to other NU infrastructure, the NNA pad must be frequently monitored and requires dedicated resources for trucking and injection pump operation. Ongoing production and additional development of NU – including prospects farther south at Cottonfield, Whiskey Gulch, and Seaview – depend heavily upon disposal at NNA 1. To enhance operational flexibility and reliability at existing operations, reduce resource constraints, add redundancy to NU’s disposal capacity, and facilitate new development at NU and the surrounding areas in the Kenai Peninsula, Hilcorp is seeking approval for Class II disposal at SD-8. The SD-8 well at Susan Dionne pad is accessed via a short access road off the Sterling Highway. As a pad with multiple active producers, the Susan Dionne facility is continuously operated and supervised. With the approval of this disposal application, Hilcorp will install a produced water injection module, a 200-barrel produced water tank, and all associated piping, electrical, and Post Office Box 244027 Anchorage, AK 99524-4027 3800 Centerpoint Drive Suite 1400 Anchorage, AK 99503 Phone: 907/777-8300 Fax: 907/777-8301 By Samantha Coldiron at 1:19 pm, May 15, 2024 AOGCC | SD-8 UIC Class II Permit Application Hilcorp Alaska, LLC | Page 5 instrumentation/control tie-ins at Susan Dionne pad. The project scope will enable injection activity without additional supervision and allow for more consistent, efficient operations. While SD-8 was drilled in 2013 as an oil exploratory well, its original completion was as a dual- string gas producer in the Beluga 135 (short string) and the Tyonek T-140 (long string). In June 2014, production with this design was deemed uneconomic, all perforations were isolated, and the dual completion was replaced with a 4-1/2” completion accessing the Tyonek T-83 and T-90. Between June 2014 – March 2015, SD-8 produced gas from these two Tyonek sands. In March 2015, the Tyonek T-90 was isolated, leaving only the Tyonek T-83 open until August 2018. Perforations were then added to the Tyonek T-2 to revive the declining gas rate, but the Tyonek T-2 interval was unproductive. SD-8 has remained offline ever since, with no future uphole gas development opportunities. It does, however, have potential utility as a Class II disposal well. (The current wellbore schematic for SD-8 is shown in Exhibit A-3.) Following the approval of this application, Hilcorp will submit a sundry request to isolate open perforations in the Tyonek T-2 and T-83 sands and perforate the Beluga 135 into the proposed disposal zone. The following sections cover the information required by 20 AAC 25.252 (c). Sincerely, Casey Morse Well Integrity Engineer Hilcorp Alaska, LLC Digitally signed by Casey Morse (11458) DN: cn=Casey Morse (11458) Date: 2024.05.15 09:21:18 - 08'00' Casey Morse (11458) AOGCC | SD-8 UIC Class II Permit Application Hilcorp Alaska, LLC | Page 6 PERMIT APPLICATION FORM In accordance with 20 AAC 25.252 (c), an application for underground disposal or storage must include: 1. a plat showing the location of all proposed disposal and storage wells, abandoned or other unused wells, production wells, dry holes, and any other wells within one-quarter mile of each proposed disposal or storage well; Exhibit A-2 is a map of the Susan Dionne pad showing all wells within the one-quarter mile radius of the proposed injection zone. 2. a list of all operators and surface owners within a one-quarter mile radius of each proposed disposal or storage well; Hilcorp Alaska, LLC is the only operator in the area of SD-8. Exhibit A-4 presents information pertaining to records of land ownership within one-quarter mile of the Susan Dionne property boundary. Exhibit A-4 includes the Kenai Peninsula Borough (KBP) Parcel ID number, property usage, property legal description, property owner name, property owner mailing address, and property owner type. 3. an affidavit showing that the operators and surface owners within a one-quarter mile radius have been provided a copy of the application for disposal or storage; See Exhibit A-5. 4. the name, description, depth, and thickness of the formation into which fluids are to be disposed or stored and appropriate geological data on the disposal or storage zone and confining zones, including lithologic descriptions and geologic names; The Beluga 135 reservoir is a stacked channel composed of very-fine to fine-grained, moderately sorted sandstone. Core analysis shows an average porosity of ~23.5% and an average permeability (Klinkenberg) of ~61.7 mD. Additionally, X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis from Susan Dionne 3 determined rock compositions of ~38% quartz, ~27% feldspar, and ~32% clay. The reservoir is heavily depleted from its initial reservoir pressure (~1,695 psi); recent pressure data suggests a reservoir pressure range of 350-700 psi. There are many internal confining beds and arresting beds above and below the proposed injection sand in the form of interlaminated mudstones, siltstones, sandstones, and coals. The uppermost confining beds, comprising the Beluga 131 through Beluga 134 siltstones and coals, are approximately 116’ thick. The lowermost confining beds, comprising the Beluga 136 and Tyonek T-2 siltstones and coals, are approximately 76’ thick. As demonstrated by Exhibit A-6 (cross section A-A’), the Beluga 135 reservoir is present across the entire Paxton-Kalotsa-Dionne structure at Ninilchik. This north-south cross section visually highlights that the Beluga 135 disposal interval increases in both sand quality and thickness near the top of structure; is both laterally and vertically continuous across the field; and contains an abundance of stacked upper and lower confining coals and shales that impede gas and fluid migration. AOGCC | SD-8 UIC Class II Permit Application Hilcorp Alaska, LLC | Page 7 The Exhibit A-7 structure map on the top of the Beluga 135 disposal interval shows that faulting is not a concern at Susan Dionne and that the reservoir structure is relatively simple across 3400-4000’ TVDss, the proposed Beluga 135 injection interval. Furthermore, there are no known transmissive faults at those depths in the vicinity of Susan Dionne pad. The reservoir properties for the proposed disposal zone are presented in Table 1. The target sand interval is located at ~3,597’ TVDss in SD-8. The Beluga 135 permeability and porosity ranges presented in the table are based on available core data from the Susan Dionne 3 and Kalotsa 2 wells. Critical to note is that the laminated nature of the sands makes it likely that the Beluga 135’s vertical permeability range is much lower than the measured horizontal permeability range given in the table.

AOGCC | SD-8 UIC Class II Permit Application Hilcorp Alaska, LLC | Page 8 5. logs of the disposal or storage wells, if not already on file, or other similar information; All relevant SD-8 well logs are on file with the AOGCC. 6. a description of the proposed method for demonstrating the mechanical integrity of the casing and tubing under 20 AAC 25.412 and for demonstrating that fluids will not move behind casing beyond the approved disposal or storage zone, and a description of (A) the casing of the disposal or storage wells, if the wells are existing; The casing across the proposed Beluga 135 disposal zone in SD-8 is 7-5/8” 29.7 lb/ft L-80. The well was completed with 352 barrels of 14.5 ppg Class G lead cement and 62 barrels of 15.5 ppg Class G tail cement. The cement bond log dated 9/20/2013 (Exhibit A-9) shows a good bond across the Beluga 135 and across the upper and lower confining layers sufficient for zonal isolation. The tubing in SD-8 is isolated from the casing with two hydraulic-set isolation packers straddling the Beluga 135 interval. After setting the straddle packers, the inner annulus was successfully pressure tested to 2,000 psi for 30 minutes (6/14/2014). Following approval of this disposal application, Hilcorp will submit a sundry request to isolate the deeper Tyonek T-2 and T-83 perforations, perform an updated mechanical integrity test on the inner annulus in accordance with 20 AAC 25.412, perforate the Beluga 135 sand, and perform an injectivity test into the proposed disposal zone. 7. a statement as to the type of oil field wastes to be disposed or hydrocarbons stored, their composition, their source, the estimated maximum amounts to be disposed or stored daily, and the compatibility of fluids to be disposed or stored with the disposal or storage zone; The primary disposal fluid planned for SD-8 is formation fluid from NU and other fields in the Kenai Peninsula. Waste disposal injection may also include other fluids eligible for Class II injection. Currently, NNA 1 is the primary disposal well for NU waste. The average daily disposal volume into SD-8 will depend on whether NNA 1 remains the primary disposal well for NU. Disposal into SD-8 will only occur if additional disposal capacity is required or if NNA 1 ceases to be the primary disposal well. The average daily injection into NNA 1 during calendar year 2023 was 292 barrels per day; no slurry was disposed. The maximum daily volume to be disposed of is 3000 barrels, which corresponds to an average injection rate of approximately 2.0 BPM. This average injection rate and daily disposal volume are consistent with DIO 28 and align with the fracture modeling (detailed below) used to validate confinement of injected fluids into the proposed Beluga 135 disposal zone. Fluid samples delivered to NNA 1 for disposal were captured on five occasions in January 2024. The compositional analysis of these fluid samples is attached in Exhibit A-10. In any operation that mixes fluids from different sources, fluid compatibility – specifically as it relates to potential for developing scale in a wellbore and/or reservoir – must be considered. Hilcorp AOGCC | SD-8 UIC Class II Permit Application Hilcorp Alaska, LLC | Page 9 analyzed the scaling tendencies of NNA 1’s disposal water and water from the Beluga 135 interval in Susan Dionne 1A (“SD-1” or “SD-1A”) using the analytes shown in Table 2. Table 2: NNA 1 and SD-1A Analytes Analysis of the analytes across the seven samples confirmed that injecting NNA 1 disposal water into the Beluga 135 at SD-1A will not change or enhance the potential for scale within the wellbore or reservoir. Furthermore, Hilcorp anticipates that disposal into the Beluga 135 at SD-8 will primarily consist of produced water from nearby wells completed in the Beluga, Sterling, and Tyonek formations. To date, Hilcorp has not identified any fluid compatibility concerns from injecting similar fluids into its disposal wells across the Cook Inlet Basin. 8. the estimated average and maximum injection pressure; SD-1A penetrates the Beluga 135 at ~3,607’ TVDss, which is slightly downdip from where SD-8 penetrates the Beluga 135 at 3,597’ TVDss. In 3D space these wells are ~80’ apart in the Beluga 135. The proximity of SD-1A to SD-8 makes it a strong analogue for comparison. Exhibit A-11 is a stratigraphic cross section flattened on the Beluga 135 horizon showing nearly identical log signatures between SD-1A and SD-8. (Note: No open hole Density/Neutron logs were run when SD-1A was drilled in 1962; the cased hole Neutron log run in 2001 shows a similar signature as that seen in SD-8’s open hole Neutron log.) Not only does each well have clear markers defining the Beluga 135’s confining layers, but the overall Beluga 135 sand package is of uniform thickness across the two wells. These characteristics strongly suggest that the fluids found in the Beluga 135 at SD-1A would be analogous to those in the Beluga 135 at SD-8. On May 1, 2023, an injectivity test of the Beluga 135 sand was performed at SD-1A in accordance with Sundry 323-142.

Testing at SD-1A was performed up to a maximum injection pressure of 2,026 psi. The analysis below confirms confinement of the injected fluids under all conditions tested on the SD-1A. The maximum injection pressure into the Beluga 135 at SD-8 will be below 2,025 psi to stay within the limits of tested parameters for this disposal interval. 9. evidence to support a commission finding that the proposed disposal or storage operation will not initiate or propagate fractures through the confining zones that might enable the oil field wastes or stored hydrocarbons to enter freshwater strata; As part of the injectivity test performed at SD-1A on May 1, 2023, Hilcorp also performed an injection step rate test to evaluate injectivity of the Beluga 135. As discussed previously, the results of this test should be analogous to the injectivity into the Beluga 135 disposal zone at SD-8. Further, the fluid injected during the injectivity test was produced water from offset wells in NU, which has similar fluid properties to the disposal fluids envisioned in this application. To understand the potential for fracture propagation in the Beluga 135, Hilcorp analyzed the injectivity data from SD-1A using StimPlan software. Figure 1 below shows the injection rate and pressure data for the duration of the injectivity test with comments on how Hilcorp analyzed the results. Figure 1: SD-1A Injectivity and Step Rate Test Data (May 1, 2023) In the initial injection period, the goal is to identify a closure pressure. Figure 2 plots the pressure decline curve for the first injection cycle pumped at a rate of 2.2 BPM. AOGCC | SD-8 UIC Class II Permit Application Hilcorp Alaska, LLC | Page 11 Figure 2: SD-1A ISIP Identification – Initial Injection Cycle The ISIP is identified as the pressure at which the treating pressure curve changes from flat to steeply downward with a corresponding drop in treating rate. The injectivity data at SD-1A yields an interpretation of ISIP at 1,755 psi, as marked by the green dot in Figure 2. This measurement represents the wellbore pressure immediately after pumping stops, quantifying the maximum bottomhole treating pressure free from the influence of fluid friction. Because the ISIP at SD-1A during the initial injection cycle is very close to the final pump pressure before breakover, there are minimal frictional effects present in the wellbore at this time. This is a clear indication that no fracture occurred during this injection cycle. After analyzing the ISIP from the initial injection cycle, the log-log plot in Figure 3 of derivative pressure and derivative time is used to define the various flow regimes that occurred during the injection cycle. In this plot, the pink dots represent pressure change relative to ISIP (dp) and the blue line represents the derivative of the pressure decline curve over time [h(dT)/dT]. AOGCC | SD-8 UIC Class II Permit Application Hilcorp Alaska, LLC | Page 12 Figure 3: SD-1A Derivative Pressure and Derivative Time Log-Log Plot – Initial Injection Cycle AOGCC | SD-8 UIC Class II Permit Application Hilcorp Alaska, LLC | Page 13 For any pressure decline following an injection period that exceeds fracture gradient (i.e. when fracturing has occurred), three flow regimes should be present in the same consistent order: a. Fracture Linear Flow – The period where fluid exits the wellbore into an open fracture in the formation. During this period, the pressure behavior is dominated by a formation leak-off coefficient (Ct). On a log-log plot, this appears as a 0.5 slope (black line) through the derivative pressure curve (blue line) and where dp (pink dots) is roughly twice the value of the derivative. This flow regime only exists when injection pressures exceed fracture gradient. b. Formation Linear Flow or Pseudo Linear Flow – The flow regime that occurs just before pseudo radial flow, provided sufficient volumes have been pumped at a high enough rate. During this flow regime, any fractures are closed, and the pressure decline is dominated by a relatively high pressure differential as fluids leave the near wellbore via the perforations. This is observed as a 0.5 slope (black line) of the derivative (blue line). c. Pseudo-Radial Flow – This flow regime is always present following any injection period. In this flow regime, pressure dissipates radially from the near wellbore region and approaches reservoir pressure. This is observed on the log-log plot as a negative slope of the derivative curve (blue line). Any injection cycle will conclude with pseudo-radial flow. Given that an injection cycle must conclude with pseudo-radial flow, the analysis of the SD- 1A injection cycle can be worked backwards along the x-axis of the log-log plot. Figure 3 shows the pseudo-radial flow regime at all times greater than dt = 2.0. Because formation linear flow must precede pseudo-radial flow, the 0.5 slope prior to dt = 2.0 is formation linear flow. Figure 3 captures this flow regime during the period that the 0.5 slope curve (black line) overlays the derivative curve (blue line). Prior to the formation linear flow regime, the fracture linear flow regime is indicated by an inflection of the derivative curve (blue line) with another 0.5 slope. However, in the SD-1A injectivity data, these earlier conditions do not exist. Therefore, analysis of the log-log plot suggests no fracturing occurred during this injection cycle. Analysis of Figures 2 and 3 support the conclusion that no fractures were propagated into the Beluga 135 formation while injecting produced water at 2.2 BPM into SD-1A. For the step rate test analysis (Figure 1), the first injection step is excluded because pressure had not stabilized. A more detailed view of SD-1A’s step rate test data is below in Figure 4, with the initial step rate cycle circled in green. AOGCC | SD-8 UIC Class II Permit Application Hilcorp Alaska, LLC | Page 14 Figure 4: SD-1A Step Rate Test (May 1, 2023) The individual treating pressure and rate points in Figure 4 are then used to create the cross- plot of treating pressure and injection rate shown in Figure 5. Figure 5: SD-1A Treating Pressure and Injection Rate Cross-Plot When fractures propagate during injection, Figure 5 should show two distinct slopes as a function of increasing injection rate: one slope covering the period of lower-rate injection prior AOGCC | SD-8 UIC Class II Permit Application Hilcorp Alaska, LLC | Page 15 to fracture formation and another slope when the formation has broken down and is fractured under a higher injection rate In the SD-1A data, a second slope is not observed at rates up to 4 BPM, suggesting that the Beluga 135 formation will not fracture at injection rates below 4 BPM. Not only is this behavior consistent with Hilcorp’s experience injecting into formations with similar permeability across its Alaska operations, but the expected injection rate into the Beluga 135 interval at SD-8 is ~2 BPM, far below the 4 BPM injection rate at SD-1A. Finally, the same analysis techniques used to determine fracture initiation at 4 BPM during SD-1A’s initial injection cycle can be applied to the last injection cycle. Figure 6 shows the ISIP plot for the final 4 BPM injection cycle. Figure 6: SD-1A ISIP Identification – Final Injection Cycle In this final injection cycle, the ISIP (green dot) is observed at a similar pressure as the ISIP from the initial injection cycle (Figure 2). Once again, this observed pressure is near the final pump pressure, aligning well with the ISIP of 1,755 psi determined in the first injection cycle. While Figure 3 discussed previously shows the log-log derivative plot for the initial injection cycle, Figure 7 below shows that same plot for SD-1A’s final injection cycle. The interpreted results of this injection cycle are consistent with those of the initial cycle: While both pseudo- radial flow and formation linear flow are observed, there is no indication of fracture linear flow regime and thus no indication of fracture propagation during the final injection cycle. AOGCC | SD-8 UIC Class II Permit Application Hilcorp Alaska, LLC | Page 16 Figure 7: SD-1A Derivative Pressure and Derivative Time Log-Log Plot – Final Injection Cycle Analysis of Figures 6 and 7 supports the conclusion that fractures did not propagate into the Beluga 135 at SD-1A while injecting produced water at the maximum injection rate of 4 BPM. Based on the combined analysis of the injectivity test and step rate test data at SD-1A, there are no indications of Beluga 135 fracturing with produced water injection at 4 BPM. Given the analogous disposal interval and fluid properties of the proposed disposal activities for SD-8 as compared to recent injectivity testing at SD-1A, Hilcorp is confident that no fractures will propagate in the Beluga 135 disposal zone while injecting into SD-8 at rates of 2 BPM or less. Additionally, given the lower permeability and higher stress in the confining coals above and below the Beluga 135 disposal zone, it is even less likely that fractures will propagate through the confining layers due to the proposed disposal activities at SD-8. 10. a standard laboratory water analysis, or the results of another method acceptable to the commission, to determine the quality of the water within the formation into which disposal or storage is proposed; As part of the work described in Sundry 323-142, fluid samples were collected from the Beluga 135 in SD-1A. Laboratory analysis from that sample collection is attached as Exhibit A-10. Analyte concentrations of those samples are also summarized above in Table 2.

SD-1A is the only well within a one-quarter mile radius of SD-8 that penetrates the proposed Beluga 135 disposal zone. Permitted under the name Ninilchik No. 1 and spudded on July 20, 1962, SD-1A was shortly thereafter abandoned before being re-entered under the new well name McCoy Prospect No. 1. In September 2001, Marathon renamed the well Susan Dionne 1 (SD-1) and re-entered it in December 2001. A total depth of 7,430’ MD (7,294 TVD) was reached on December 16, 2001, when SD-1 was renamed yet again to reflect its recompletion, this time to Susan Dionne 1A (SD-1A). (Note: Due to SD-1/1A’s evolving names, some inconsistency with the log titles exists.) SD-1A’s 20” conductor was set at 193’ MD (196’ TVD) (hole size 26”) and cemented with 600 sacks of Class G cement. Its 13-3/8” surface casing was set at 2,046’ MD (2,045’ TVD) (hole size 18 5/8”) and cemented with 1,800 sacks of Class G cement. The 9-5/8” intermediate casing ends at 7,430’ MD (7,316’ TVD) (hole size 12-1/4”) and cemented with 2,800 sacks of Class G cement. SD-1A’s intermediate casing USIT log run on December 17, 2001 to a top depth of 2,950’ MD shows corrosion-induced loss of pipe wall thickness over a portion of the 40 lb/ft casing starting from ~3,600’ MD to the crossover at ~5,050’ MD. The deeper 47 lb/ft casing is in good condition with minimal wall loss. The USIT log shows consistent cement coverage across the proposed Beluga 135 disposal zone and the confining layers up to a depth of ~3,300’ MD. Above this point the cement bond degrades and pockets of a liquid filled micro-annulus start to develop. Following the December 2001 recomplete to SD-1A, a 4-1/2” production casing was installed to isolate all open Beluga 135 perforations. This casing was set at 7,422’ MD (7,308 TVD) (hole size 8.681”) and cemented with 445 sacks of Class G lead cement (12.5 ppg) and 326 sacks of Class G tail cement (15.7 ppg). During the cement job, the plug was bumped and the floats held. The radial CBL of this pipe dated May 23, 2013 shows consistent cement bond up to ~3,000’ MD. Gas production from the Tyonek reservoir was attempted, but unsuccessful; all Tyonek perforations were plugged back with a series of cast-iron bridge plugs up to 4,890’ MD. In April 2021, 20’ MD of Beluga 135 perforations were added (3,790-3,810’ MD) under Sundry 323-142 as a means for gathering the data necessary (i.e. formation fluid samples and an injectivity test) to evaluate the efficacy of using SD-8 for Class II disposal. The location of SD-1A is illustrated in Exhibit A-2. Wellbore schematic for SD-1A; SD-1A’s radial cement bond log of the 4-1/2” casing; and SD-1A’s USIT log of the 9-5/8” casing are provided as Exhibits A-13, A-14, and A-15, respectively.
