By letter dated September 13, 2021, Hilcorp Alaska, LLC (Hilcorp) requested the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (AOGCC) issue an order approving the downhole commingling of production from the Middle Kenai Gas Pool (MKGP), Middle Kenai “G” Oil Pool (MKGOP), and the Hemlock Oil Pool (HOP) in the Trading Bay Unit G-01RD (G-01RD) (PTD 191-139) well. 2. The AOGCC tentatively scheduled a public hearing for October 21, 2021. On September 14, 2021, the AOGCC published notice of the opportunity for that hearing on the State of Alaska’s Online Public Notice website and the AOGCC’s website, electronically transmitted the notice to all persons on the AOGCC’s email distribution list, and mailed printed copies of the notice to all persons on the AOGCC’s mailing distribution list. On September 15, 2021, the AOGCC published the notice in the Anchorage Daily News. 3. The AOGCC received no comments on the application. 4. Because no protests or requests for hearing were received regarding Hilcorp’s application, the tentatively scheduled public hearing was vacated on October 19, 2021. 5. Hilcorp’s application provides sufficient information to make an informed decision. FINDINGS: 1. The G-01RD well began producing from the MKGOP in January 1992, perforations in the HOP were added in March 1992 and the well has produced as a commingled oil producer since that time1. 2. On August 6, 2021, Hilcorp shut in the G-01RD well due to an apparent failed electric submersible pump (ESP). While shut in, the pressure increased in the tubing much more rapidly than had previously been observed with oil wells in the field. Hilcorp suspected that the source of the pressure increase was breakthrough from a high-pressure gas zone. Diagnostic work confirmed that the suspected gas was entering the wellbore below the ESP. The well was briefly put on production to determine the rate of gas the well could produce and to collect a sample of the gas. 1 Commingling of production on a fieldwide basis between the MKGOP and the West Foreland Oil Pool was authorized by Conservation Order No. (CO) 234 on October 30, 1987. CO 234A, issued on December 21, 1993, amended and replaced CO 234 by adding the HOP to the list of pools allowed to be commingled fieldwide in the McArthur River Field. CO 796 November 3, 2021 Page 2 of 4 3. The gas sample collected from the short test revealed the gas to be dry gas and thus it could not be coming from one of the oil zones. The only source of dry gas in the field is the MKGP. 4. Pressure surveys conducted in the well prior to the gas breakthrough and pressure observations since breakthrough indicate that if the wellbore is completely evacuated of liquids, the hydrostatic pressure of the gas at the oil zones would be very near the pressure in the oil zones. As such, significant crossflow between the pools is not expected while the well is shut in. If the well is put on production, the drawdown of the well should eliminate the possibility of crossflow between the oil pools and the MKGP. 5. In order to produce the well without downhole commingling, the existing well completion would have to be pulled and a new one that would provide isolation between the MKGP and oil pools would have to be run. Whether the reserves in this well would support pulling the tubing and recompleting the well is unknown. 6. Hilcorp proposes to produce the gas from the MKGP to deplete the gas zone in the hopes that oil production could be resumed from the well. During the gas blowdown operation, production would occur through an orifice in a gas lift mandrel and the ESP would be shutoff. Oil is not anticipated to be able to flow to the surface on its own while the gas is being produced. 7. Hilcorp proposes to allocate production “by difference” for this well. Prior to the gas breakthrough, the well produced with a stable gas oil ratio (GOR) of approximately 400 scf/stb. It is assumed that if no liquids, oil and/or water, are produced, all gas production from the well would be coming from the MKGP. It is also assumed that if any liquids are produced, all liquids would be allocated to the MKGOP and HOP, as is currently done with this well, and a portion of the gas, proportional to the oil production rate and the well’s GOR, would be allocated to the MKGOP and HOP. The remaining gas would be allocated to the MKGP. 8. The MKGP is generally comprised of small, poorly connected sand lenses that are quickly depleted, but there are some larger pockets of gas within the pool. Currently, it is unknown whether the pocket of gas encountered by the G-01RD well is large or small. 9. Working over the well during the winter months is problematic due to issues with freezing well control and safety equipment. Waiting until the ice-free season in 2022 will mitigate the operational risks inherent in performing a winter workover. 10. Allowing the well to produce for up to six months will provide data necessary to inform a decision about how maximize ultimate recovery from the MKGP, MKGOP and HOP, reducing potential waste of the resource. 11. Prior to the gas breakthrough event, the well was typically producing in the 50 to 150 BOPD range. 12. Three other oil wells in the field have experienced similar gas breakthrough events. Two of these wells produced only for a few months after the gas breakthrough and have remained shut in or suspended since then. The third well was recompleted as a gas well and produced for a number of years with individual perforated intervals lasting anywhere from a few weeks to a couple of years but averaging only a few months. CO 796 November 3, 2021 Page 3 of 4 13. Shut-in pressure in the Inner Annulus (IA) is currently ~2400 psi because a leaking production packer at 445 ft MD is not isolating the IA from the gas zone. An attempted non-rig repair of the packer was unsuccessful. The leaking packer will require a rig workover for repairs. By flowing the well, the IA pressure will be reduced, lowering the well integrity risk of leaving the well shut-in until spring of 2022 in its current condition. CONCLUSIONS: 1. Gas from the MKGP is preventing the G-01RD well from producing. In order to return to oil production, downhole commingling authorization or a workover is needed. It is unlikely that a workover will be performed during the winter months due to difficulties with freezing equipment. 2. There is currently insufficient gas production and reservoir data from G-01RD to determine a workover strategy that will maximize ultimate recovery of the oil and gas resource from the HOP, MKGOP, and MKGP in this well. Limiting the duration of the commingling authorization and requiring data collection and submittal will aid in this assessment of the size of the gas accumulation. 3. The well is likely to produce only gas since the relatively large amounts of gas coming from the MKGP make it impossible to run the ESP. The oil zones will not produce without running the ESP. 4. Producing the well with the MKGP, MKGOP, and HOP pools commingled will not result in waste due to the minimal potential for crossflow. Commingling may increase ultimate recovery by allowing the production of MKGP resources that would normally not have been targeted in this well. A “by difference” method of production allocation for this well will provide an adequate allocation of production between the pools. 5. Producing the well will lower the IA pressure, thereby reducing the well integrity risk when compared to leaving the well shut-in under current conditions. NOW THEREFORE IT IS ORDERED: The AOGCC grants Hilcorp’s September 13, 2021 application to authorize downhole commingling of production between the MKGP, MKGOP, and HOP in the G-01RD well with the following conditions. 1) This order expires on April 30, 2022. 2) Before putting the well back on production, Hilcorp must collect a shut-in wellhead pressure. This data shall be provided to the AOGCC within five days of its collection. 3) By the 5th of each month, Hilcorp must submit a plot of the daily production and average flowing tubing pressure for the G-01RD well for the previous month. CO 796 November 3, 2021 Page 4 of 4 4) In the time periods of January 1 st to 15th, 2022 and April 1st to 15th, 2022, Hilcorp shall shut in the well to collect a new shut-in well pressure survey. Results of these surveys shall be provided to the AOGCC within five days of their collection. 5) All data required to be collected and provided to the AOGCC shall be sent via email to dave.roby@alaska.gov.

In accordance with 20 AAC 25.556(d), the AOGCC hereby GRANTS, subject to the conditions below, Hilcorp’s request for administrative approval to revive and extend CO 796. CO 796 was issued on November 3, 2021, after discovering fluids from the MKGP were entering the wellbore and commingling with the existing production coming from the HOP and the MKGOP. The purpose of the order was to allow Hilcorp to put the well back on production with the intent of depleting the MKGP so that production from the HOP and MKGOP could resume. The MKGP did not deplete during the duration of CO 796 and Hilcorp now believes there is a significant amount of gas in the MKGP but there is also vast amounts of water which is preventing the unassisted flow of gas from the pool. Hilcorp’s plan now is to workover the well to install an electric submersible pump to produce from the HOP and MKGOP and dewater the MKGP so that it may produce gas. Allowing the MKGP to be commingled with the HOP and MKGOP in this well should allow for maximization for recovery from the well by allowing the MKGP to produce alongside the oil CO 796.001 October 20, 2025 Page 2 of 2 pools when standalone production of the gas pool would not be viable. The allocation methodology approved in CO 796 with still be applicable to the well. The rules of CO 796 are hereby amended to read as follows: NOW THEREFORE IT IS ORDERED: 1) CO 796 is revived and the expiration date in Condition 1 of the order is repealed. 2) Condition 2 repealed. 3) Condition 3 remains. (By the 5th of each month, Hilcorp must submit a plot of the daily production and average flowing tubing pressure for the G-01RD well for the previous month.) 4) Condition 4 is repealed. 5) Condition 5 remains. (All data required to be collected and provided to the AOGCC shall be sent via email to dave.roby@alaska.gov.) 6) Finally, the following new condition is added: Condition 6) Production shall be allocated to the pools in the manner described in Hilcorp’s September 13, 2021, application to authorize downhole commingling from the MKGP, MKGOP, and HOP in the subject well.

The Findings and Conclusions from CO 796 remain applicable today. The conditions of approval within CO 796 are no longer applicable or relevant. Hilcorp hereby respectfully requests the AOGCC to exercise its administrative authority to both revive and extend the order to permit commingled production in the subject well in perpetuity. Since the issuance of CO 796, Hilcorp has made multiple attempts to flow gas from the MKGP. In 2024, Hilcorp set a plug to isolate the MKGOP and HOP and added perforations within the MKGP under sundry 324-539. This work, along with additional diagnostics, suggests the presence of significant gas accumulations accessible from the G-01RD. These gas sands are incapable of unassisted flow in G-01RD due to associated water production also originating from the MKGP. The most effective way to produce this gas is by de- watering the MKGP in combination with the ongoing production of the MKGOP and HOP. These gas sands will otherwise not be capable of producing. Commingling of production will allow for the recovery of a greater quantity of oil and gas, and such production can be properly allocated as described in CO 796. Hilcorp plans to perform a workover and commence commingling of production in the G-01RD by the end of 2025 if approval can be obtained. If you have any additional questions concerning this request, please contact me at 907-777- 8322 or by email at casey.morse@hilcorp.com.

Our research of these three wells agrees with your summary. We may not ever get the oil zones back from this well. But at this point without producing it for some extended period as a gas well, we won’t know what we’ve got. 2. Waste, in the sense of flowing gas into the oil zones, is not believed to be an issue at present due to current reservoir pressures of the respective zones. From the data we have at present, we know: • Oil zone reservoir pressure was measured to be 3050 psi at -9350’ TVDss in April 2021 • Current tubing pressure is 2395 psi • Current ESP pressure reading of 2805 psi at -6883’ TVDss • Gradient from surface to ESP is (2805 psi – 2395 psi)/6883’ = 0.058 psi/ft • Extrapolating ESP pressure to a datum of -9350’ TVDss using the gas gradient equates to a pressure of: 2805 psi + (9350’ – 6883’) x 0.058psi/ft = 2805 psi +144 psi = 2948 psi. This is less than the April 2021 oil zone pressure of 3050 psi. Given the pressure of the gas zone is not greater than that of the oil zone when extrapolated to a datum depth of -9350’ TVDss, we do not believe gas will readily flow into the deeper oil zones and cause waste of the resources. 3. The static survey data that was obtained in August indicates that gas has displaced liquid from the tubing – an average gradient of 0.047 psi/ft was observed. To answer your question regarding fluid level shots, unfortunately, we are not able to perform meaningful tubing fluid level shots at present due to a plug set in the tubing at 7,935’ and if we were to remove it we still have an ESP in the well to complicate the FL shots. Again, it is worth reiterating the point of fluid gradients and current pressures as provided in response to your second question above. Considering, that the oil zone and gas zone pressures extrapolated to datum are, 3050 psi and 2921 psi, respectively, we do not believe that gas has completely displaced oil from the wellbore.

None of these wells ever returned to being an oi producer after the gas breakthrough. K-05 was shut in when the gas breakthrough occurred and was recompleted as a gas well in 2004, but only produced for three months and has been shut in since. G-25 continued to produce for 3 months after breakthrough but then was shut in and eventually suspended in 2011. M- 32RD was shut in when break through was detected and then recompleted as gas well and had many gas sands shot over several years from 2009 to 2014, then was shut in and eventually plugged and redrilled in 2017. Based on the fact none of these every returned to oil service why do you think this well would be different? 2. In the record for the M-32RD well was the attached email where Chevron said that leaving the gas sands and oil sands open at the same time would cause waste. I didn’t really find anything expanding on this in the well file in my quick scan of it, but was wondering if Hilcorp has any thoughts on why you think having both the gas and oil zones open won’t cause waste when the previous operator thought it would? 3. Do you have any evidence on whether or not the gas is displacing the oil and water that was in the wellbore when the gas breakthrough occurred? I’m presuming there was oil and water up to some height above the ESP, I know you can’t shoot a fluid level in the annulus due to the packer, but have you shot any fluid levels in the tubing to see if there’s still any oil and water in there? We’re still deciding whether or not to go ahead with the hearing and your answers to these questions will go a long way towards us making that decision. Thanks in advance.
