Sincerely, Doug Cismoski Vice President of Drilling, Projects, and Engineering ASRC Consulting & Environmental Services, LLC Page 2 of 5 1.0 Activity Summaries – Shaviovik Unit 1 Date Activity 13 Sept 2024 Sling load equipment to well site via helicopter. 14 Sept 2024 Crew flew to well site via helicopter. Gathered timbers and cut to lengths to fit in super sacks then loaded. Hand dug out two I-beams on either side of casing to water level and cut off.Dug casing to ~2-1/2' below GL. Drilled into 13-3/8” casing and found cement in the annulus. Cut 4" window band around 13-3/8" casing. Chipped cement exposing 9-5/8" casing. Drilled hole into the 9 5/8” casing and found no cement within the casing (verified no LEL).Cut 9-5/8" casing letting it fall to the side (able to pick it as one sling load). Cement depth is 3' 9"within the 9-5/8” casing below GL. Flew back to Deadhorse and picked up, AOGCC Representative, Guy Cook. Guy confirmed casing cut depth was deep enough. Mixed 3 sacks of Quick Crete and filled 9 5/8” casing to top.Shut down for the night while cement cured. 15 Sept 2024 On weather hold in Deadhorse. 16 Sept 2024 Flew to well site via chopper with crew and AOGCC Representative, Sean Sullivan. Finished cleaning up debris from surrounding area. Prepped casing and welded on marker plate, witnessed by Mr. Sullivan. Backfilled and contoured to surroundings. AOGCC Rep approved debris removal, marker plate and install, and backfill. Loaded super sacks and equipment totes for backhaul. Crew returned to Deadhorse. Super sacks and equipment was sling loaded back to Deadhorse. Well site was cleared by 19:00 hrs. Note: Surface water samples were collected and analyzed for salinity. All samples appear to be fresh water. Details in wellfile. Additional environmental sampling and site characterization planned for final site clearance. -bjm Page 4 of 5 Figure 1.1-2. - Photo of wellhead cutoff and cement to surface in all annuli.

The backfilling and final approval from Sean Sullivan finished at 3:30p and then the sling loading runs didn’t finish until 8pm. The helicopter was scheduled to demob from DH on 9/17 so a flight to the site for a clean photo was not conducted. We do not have any photos without the casing in that position since it was too heavy for the guys to move by hand. The pilot looped the strap around it from right in that position to sling load it back to Deadhorse. The pilot couldn’t take a final photo of the site once he had the sling loads attached (we asked) and passengers aren’t allowed in the chopper while sling loading is occurring. Sean Sullivan did approve the backfilling as the picture shows being left as blended with the natural contour of the slope in that spot since he was out there for it. We would not have been able to mound it further without sling loading supersacks of gravel which we had not planned to do. The attached photo could be added to the 10-407 showing the site was left with the backfilling following the natural contour of that spot if that would be helpful.

I. Supervisor FROM: Sully Sullivan SUBJECT: Surface Abandonment Petroleum Inspector Location Inspection Shaviovik Unit 1 ASRC Energy Services PTD 1681130; Sundry 324-472 9/16/2024: Travel to Shaviovik Unit 1 by helicopter with ASRC representatives Clint Spence, a welder and helpers to verify cement to surface, witness the marker plate installation and final site remediation, and perform the final site inspection. The Shaviovik well is the first finished under AOGCC’s orphan well abandonment program. Before landing we circled the area several times at low altitude to look over the site. Upon landing I walked the entire area in search of debris. All were flagged for removal. The welder and helper finished the cut-off of the well casing at about 3 feet below tundra surface. Cement from the casing top job the previous day was at surface and hard. A ¼-inch plate was seal welded to the top of the casing and the marker plate was welded to the ¼-inch plate. They backfilled over the wellhead and removed the backing boards. With all work complete they cleaned up the work area, removing bits of boards, cables, and old drill pipe. Everything was cut into small pieces and put into super sacks to be flown out later in the day. On the return trip to Deadhorse we stopped off at the Burglin 33-1 well site (separate report).

I. Supervisor FROM: Guy Cook SUBJECT: Surface Abandonment Petroleum Inspector Shaviovik Unit 1 ASRC Energy Services PTD 1681130; Sundry 324-472 9/14/2024: I traveled to location with Clint Spence (ASRC Energy Services) to inspect the well for cement to surface and cut-off depth. The final cut-off depth will not be 3 feet below tundra but will be closer to 2 feet due to the sloping terrain the casing is in. The surrounding area has some debris that will be left as well due to limited equipment available to the jobsite and how embedded the debris is in the ground. They have done a good job of cutting timbers and I-beams that cannot be removed without equipment, off at surface. The identification plate they had was 1/8-inch thick and will be replaced with an identification plate that is ¼-inch thick. The information on the identification plate was correct. Unfortunately, since they had run out of oxygen for their cutting torch and they had an improper identification plate, we couldn’t finish today. They did proceed on with the top job as the cement was not to surface in the 9 5/8-inch casing. They filled the last (approximate) 3.5 feet with cement and left it to cure overnight. The final cut on the casing, to prep it for the identification plate, will be done when we return to the drill site tomorrow. 9/15/24: We planned on flying back out to Shaviovik today, but the job was postponed due to fog. I spoke with Clint Spence (ASRC) about this, and he informed me they planned on getting out to the drill site 9/16/2024 during the afternoon to finish up, weather permitting. I informed him that AOGCC Inspector Sean Sullivan will be the inspector that accompanies him tomorrow as I return to Anchorage in the morning. I spoke with Sean about this as well and he is planning to witness. Attachments: Photos 9 9 9 9 9 9 James B. Regg Digitally signed by James B.

Shaviovik Unit 1 is part of the State of Alaska AOGCC Orphan Well Program and required verification of its P&A status. A site visit on August 10, 2024, was conducted to confirm the current condition of the well marker and surrounding area. General Well Information Status: Orphan Well – See attached ‘Current Wellbore Schematic’ (Figure 1.1-1) for details. The well was previously plugged to surface with 4 separate cement plugs. No LELs were registered during the site visit at the wellhead. The marker pole is intact (see Figure 1.1-2 & 1.1-3). Regulatory Variance / Waiver Request A variance is requested for 20 AAC 25.170 (a)(1) due to the limited equipment available for use at the wellsite. Although reaching a depth of three feet below original ground level will be attempted, the use of hand tools may not allow the depth to be reached. Additionally, a variance is requested for 20 AAC 25.170 (a)(2)(A) to leave the majority of the I-beams that were located just below ground level on either side of the well casing. A small portion of the I-beams are expected to be removed to facilitate the casing cut, however, removing the I-beams in their entirety is not possible with the limited equipment that will be sling loaded to the wellsite. 1.1 Marker Cut off and Cap Weld Procedure –Shaviovik Unit 1 1. Notify the AOGCC with 48 hours advanced notice to witness marker pole cutoff. 2. Dig using hand tools around the well as needed to provide access to the existing casing and attempt to reach 3’ below ground level, if possible. 3. Remove existing marker structure and casing sticking up above ground level. 4. Confirm cement to surface in all casing and annuli. Photograph same. o Note: If cement is not at surface, top off as needed. 5. Weld marker plate on the outermost casing that meets requirements of 20 AAC 25.120 and includes the below information on the marker plate. Photograph marker plate welded in place. State of Alaska AOGCC PTD 168-113 Shaviovik Unit 1 API 50-223-20001-00-00 6. Backfill the area as much as possible with existing material establishing a reasonable grade with available hand tools. 7. Remove debris from the location and dispose of waste materials as required. 8. Contact the AOGCC with 24 hours advanced notice to perform final site clearance inspection. 48 hrs notice required. -bjm I-beams will remain buried. Variance approved. -bjm Note: There are two concentric pipes at surface, presumably the inner is the marker pole and outer is surface csg. -bjm Variance approved on condition marker plate is buried below ground level. -bjm OUR PURPOSE: TO FIND SUSTAINABLE SOLUTIONS FOR A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE ASRC Energy Services, LLC | 3900 C Street, Suite 701, Anchorage, Alaska 99503 | 907.339.6200 | asrcenergy.com Page 3 of 4 Figure 1.1-1.

Upon review we concur that SAG-00118 is not eligible for the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP), and therefore a finding of no historic properties affected is appropriate for the proposed remediation activities. We offer the following comment: Oil and gas exploration as a context in Alaska has evident significance in the development and organization of the state. Each region, and time period, has a different story to tell. For this well site, the context and evaluation would have greatly benefitted from more focus on the post-1968 discovery "rush". We acknowledge that relative to other contexts, this has not been thoroughly explored and in many ways is still developing. However, we believe this demonstrates the necessity of further exploration on the topic. If AOGCC intends to conduct remediation activities on similar well sites, we strongly encourage further consideration under Criterion A. Should previously unidentified archaeological resources be discovered during the project, work must be interrupted until the resources have been evaluated using the National Register of Historic Places eligibility criteria (36 CFR 60.4) in consultation with our office. Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment. Please contact Mckenzie Herring at 907-269-8726 or mckenzie.herrinQ@alaska.aov if you have any questions or if we can be of further assistance.

Topic and Location Site Walk Description of Field Activity and Observations Upon arrival at Shaviovok Unit #1, Adam Wyborny (APW) walked the site to look for evidence of petroleum releases. There was a discernable petroleum odor directly next to the well casing. However, there was no visible staining nor signs of distressed vegetation. Nearby surface water was free from sheen, except for minor naturogenic sheen in marshy areas. A submerged and rusted drum was seen in a pond roughly 100 feet west of the well head. No sheen was present. The pad that may have existed for staging the drilling equipment was unrecognizable. The site consisted of several vegetated mounds surrounded my marsh and ponded surface water. Gravel was noted in several of these mounds suggesting the site may have gone through differential thawing and settling. Further Action Recommended to Owner None 2. Topic and Location Onsite Soil Field Screening Description of Field Activity and Observations APW collected headspace samples for field analysis with a photoionization detector (PID) from around the exposed well casing. A total of nine headspace samples were collected in a 4-to-6-foot radius around the well casing. A single headspace sample was collected directly at the base of the casing from the drilling mud/cuttings slurry. The radial headspace samples each produced PID readings below 20 parts per million (ppm). The headspace sample collected at the base of the casing exhibited a PID reading of 38.4 ppm and had visible grease/oil mixed with the slurry. APW then proceeded to dig test pits on top of the mounds which may have at one point constituted the pad. A total of 13 test pits were dug and screened with the PID. Headspace sample results ranged from 1.9 ppm to 34.3 ppm.

The AOGCC Orphan Well Plugging and Remediation Program (Project) involves several state agencies. The AOGCC will lead this effort and interface with the DOI. The Department of Transportation and Public Facilities (DOT&PF) will administer the construction manager/general contractor (CMGC) contract. The Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Office of Project Management and Permitting (OPMP) will be the contact point for non-well activity permitting requirements. The objectives of the Project are to P&A orphaned wells and remediate the areas to include methane monitoring and reduction through source control, and identification and remediation of any contamination occurring to surface and groundwater. The first priority is to perform well P&A’s and site clearance. The second priority is the closing of any active reserve pits. The third priority is the remediation of found contaminated sites. AOGCC subcontractor ASRC Consulting and Environmental (ACES) performed the initial site assessment which included the cultural resources survey and verified or established latitude/longitude of the Shaviovik Unit 1 Well Site (SAG-00118) on August 10, 2024 (Figure 1). Some slight excavation immediately around the wellhead area was necessary to identify and assess the well status. This site assessment supported the preparation of work plans, environmental survey and characterization plans, and the sundry application for the well. AOGCC would like to perform wellhead removal of the Shaviovik Unit 1 and debris clean-up of the surrounding area. This would entail the cutting and capping plan for the wellhead using minimal equipment which would be flown in by helicopter to the location. The necessary equipment includes a drill, grinder, acetylene cutting torch, welder, and a weld on steel plate AOGCC Orphan Well Plugging and Remediation Program Consultation Initiation August 13, 2024 Page 2 of 3 with the well description. The team would mobilize from Deadhorse, slinging the required equipment to the Shaviovik well location. Upon arrival, they will set up the equipment near the well. Initially, they will sniff for gas to ensure no hydrocarbons are present. Then, they will drill a hole into the casing to confirm the absence of gas. Once they confirm that no gas is present, the team will begin cutting the 13-3/8” casing into one-foot pieces that can be handled manually. They will cut the casing above the steel I-beams located on either side. After removing the pipe, they will weld a cap into place and rebury it. The pieces of casing and any nearby debris that can be safely removed will be loaded into super sacks and slung back to Deadhorse for disposal. Results of Cultural Survey and Recommendations Archaeological survey identified one AHRS site in the well site vicinity, Shaviovik Unit 1 Well Site (SAG-00118) the well for marker removal itself. Formal DOE recommendations were completed for the well site and are attached. ACES recommended that the site was not found to possess significance and was not recommended as eligible for the NRHP. AOGCC seeks SHPO concurrence with a finding of No Historic Properties Affected to perform the limited scope described above for the wellhead removal and debris clean-up. AOGCC recognizes that even if an area has undergone cultural resource field studies in the past, the possibility remains that cultural resources may be encountered during the project activities. Archaeological surveys, literature reviews, and desktop analyses are not exhaustive, even when good faith efforts are employed. AOGCC will have an Inadvertent Discoveries Plan in the event previously undiscovered cultural resources are detected during project activities. The plan outlines steps to be taken if cultural or paleontological remains are found, such as: A. Stopping all work that may potentially harm these resources; B. A listing of personnel and agencies to be notified; and C. Other company- or project-specific procedures. Work or activities that may be harmful to cultural resources include any ground-disturbing activity, any removal of vegetation, or other activities that can otherwise irreversibly damage cultural resources.

The reserve pit’s existing site condition and any potential exposed drilling waste, ponding, or signs of ponding within the boundaries of the inactive reserve pit will be detailed and analyzed for potential corrective action. 1.1.3 Remediating Well Sites: Environmental remediation of well sites and adjacent land may include remediating soil and restore of native species’ habitat that has been degraded due to the presence of orphaned wells and associated pipelines, facilities, and infrastructure. Post-remediation monitoring/sampling is also planned to confirm site closure. 1.2 Purpose and Character: The purpose of this cultural resources analysis is to provide a formal investigation into the historical context and current status of the Shaviovik Unit 1 Well Site (Alaska Heritage Resources Survey [AHRS] SAG- 00118), and to provide a Determination of Eligibility (DOE) for the site’s inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). The site was identified by Project engineers as qualifying for inclusion under the Project terms as it requires remediation. Shaviovik Unit 1 Determination of Eligibility North Slope, Alaska AOGCC 2 August 2024 18697 24-119 Rev. 0 The ultimate goal of the Project regarding the Shaviovik Unit 1 Well Site is wellhead removal and remediation of the surrounding area if determined necessary. 1.3 Location The Shaviovik Unit 1 Well Site (AHRS SAG-00118) is named after the Shaviovik River which flows 75 miles (mi) (120.7 kilometers [km]) north from the Brooks Range into Foggy Island Bay. This same bay captures the Sagavanirtok River which flows along the east side of the industrial village of Deadhorse, Alaska. Shaviovik is a derivative of the Iñupiaq words for “metal” (savik) and “place” (irvik) in the phrase “place where there is iron/metal” (NOAA 2003). The location of the Shaviovik Unit 1 well is approximately 50 mi (80.5 km)southeast of Deadhorse, 28 mi (45.1 km) east of the Dalton Highway, and is 5.5 mi (8.9 km)east of the Shaviovik River (Figure 1). Additionally, it is 1.1 mi (1.7 km) west of the confluence of Juniper and Fin creeks. The Shaviovik Unit 1 well is 0.8 mi (1.3 km) north of the Shaviovik anticline, a rock-fold formation that is east to west, 15-mi (24.1 km) wide, and is 3.5 mi (5.6 km) long. This formation was noted by Keller, Morris, and Detterman (1961) as having the potential to accumulate oil. 1.4 Methodology: Prior to remediation, it was determined the AOGCC must assess whether there are known cultural resources present, evaluate potential impacts on cultural resources, and maintain communication with the State of Alaska through the Office of History and Archaeology (OHA) and the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) with regard to their findings, potential mitigation efforts, and best practices in the event of unprecedented findings. Cultural resources of concern in this report are those that may have historical and/or traditional value. They are physical resources associated with people, a society, or multiple societies. They consist of both built and natural parts of the physical environment and have some cultural value to one or more sociocultural groups (King 1998). Cultural resources exhibiting evidence of past human activity may be sites, features, or artifacts. Historic properties are a special subset of cultural resources. A historic property is a cultural resource, generally 50 years of age or older, included in or eligible for inclusion in the NRHP. A historic property may be a prehistoric or historic district, site, building, structure, or object. The term includes properties of traditional religious and cultural importance to an Indian tribe or Native Hawaiian organization. To be eligible for the NRHP a cultural resource must meet one or more of the NRHP (36CFR§60.4) Criteria for Evaluation and retain sufficient integrity to convey its significance. Technical information on how to apply the National Register Criteria for Evaluation is provided by National Register Bulletin 15 (NPS 1995). Bulletin 15 states: The quality of significance in history, architecture, archaeology, engineering, and culture is present in districts, sites, buildings, structures, and objects that possess integrity of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association, and: x Criterion A: That are associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of our history; or x Criterion B: That are associated with the lives of persons significant in our past; or Shaviovik Unit 1 Determination of Eligibility North Slope, Alaska AOGCC 3 August 2024 18697 24-119 Rev. 0 x Criterion C: That embody the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction, or that represent the work of a master, or that possess high artistic values, or that represent a significant and distinguishable entity whose components may lack individual distinction; or x Criterion D: That have yielded, or may be likely to yield, information important in prehistory or history. “Ordinarily properties such as cemeteries, birthplaces, or graves of historical figures, properties owned by religious institutions or used for religious purposes, structures that have been moved from their original locations, reconstructed his-toric buildings, properties primarily commemorative in nature, and properties that have achieved significance within the past 50 years shall not be considered eligible for the National Register. However, such properties will qualify if they are integral parts of districts that do meet the criteria or if they fall within the following categories” (NPS 1997) known as the criterial considerations: a) A religious property deriving primary significance from architectural or artistic distinction or historical importance; or b) A building or structure removed from its original location but remains significant primarily for architectural value, or which is the surviving structure most importantly associated with a historic person or event; or c) A birthplace or grave of a historical figure of outstanding importance if there is no appropriate site or building associated with their productive life; or d) A cemetery which derives its primary significance from graves of persons of transcendent importance, from age, from distinctive design features, or from association with historic events; or e) A reconstructed building when accurately executed in a suitable environment and presented in a dignified manner as part of a restoration master plan, and when no other building or structure with the same association has survived; or f) A property primarily commemorative in intent of design, age, tradition, or symbolic value has invested it with its own exceptional significance; or g) A property achieving significance within the past 50 years if it is of exceptional importance. In addition to meeting significance under one or more of the criteria and possibly one of the considerations listed above, a historic property must also possess integrity. Integrity refers to a property’s ability to convey its significance. There are seven aspects of integrity (location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association). To retain integrity, a property must possess several of these aspects (NPS 1995). The steps in assessing integrity are: x Define the essential physical features that must be present for a property to represent its significance. x Determine whether these essential physical features are visible enough to convey their significance. x Determine whether the property needs to be compared with similar properties. And, x Determine, based on the significance and essential physical features, which aspects of integrity are particularly vital to the property being nominated and if they are present. Shaviovik Unit 1 Determination of Eligibility North Slope, Alaska AOGCC 4 August 2024 18697 24-119 Rev. 0 All NRHP eligibility recommendations are provided to the SHPO for consideration. Should an eligible property be found within the Area of Potential Effects (APE) of the Project and is therefore at risk of being adversely affected by project activities, resolution measures as required by 36CFR§800.6 must be pursued. Possible resolution measures include avoidance, minimization, or mitigation. While avoidance of historic properties is the preferred method to prevent adverse effects, avoidance may not be possible in all locations. Should this be the case, a Treatment Plan will be developed and implemented, and will detail treatment measures to mitigate impacts to each historic property that could be adversely affected by the projects. The information encapsulated in this document was compiled using the following resources to generate a holistic perspective of the Shaviovik Unit 1 Well Site (SAG-00118): x Previously reported cultural resources and surveys in the AHRS database. x Published and unpublished reports, letters, and other documentation of cultural resource studies x Aerial photographs of the Project APEs x Relevant historical documentation Consultation may be pursued with other individuals (archaeologists and/or historians) who have worked within or around the Project APEs, land managers, landowners, historical societies, elders, and others having knowledge of the Project vicinity, on an as-needed basis. The AHRS is a long-term database of more than 45,000 reported prehistoric, historic, and modern cultural resources (archaeological sites, buildings, structures, objects, or locations, etc.) and some paleontological sites (OHA 2022). The information regarding previously identified sites was obtained prior to field visits and was used to guide the field investigations. 1.5 Existing Surveys: The Shaviovik Unit 1 Well Site (SAG-00118) received archaeological survey by ACES on behalf of AOGCC on August 10, 2024 and received AHRS number SAG-00118 on August 12, 2024. The survey included on-the-ground pedestrian surveys and helicopter overflights. According to the AHRS and ACES conducted research, the site had not previously received archaeological investigations. 2.0 Environmental Setting: 2.1 Paleoenvironment: Alaska has experienced climatic and environmental changes over the past tens of thousands of years that had major influences on the plant and animal distribution of the modern-day landscape. The last major glaciation of northern North America, the Tioga phase of the Wisconsin Glaciation, occurred approximately 20,000 years before the present (B.P.). During this period sea level was lower due to water stored in glaciers. This, in combination with the shallow geomorphology of the Bering and Chukchi Seas, produced an ice- free corridor, known as the Bering Land Bridge (Beringia), between modern-day Siberia and Alaska (Hoffecker and Elias 2007). Additional evidence of this land connection includes the presence of mammoths on both continental lands and the Aleutian Islands. In addition, similar flora and fauna have been found in Siberia and Alaska (Hoffecker and Elias 2007). Shaviovik Unit 1 Determination of Eligibility North Slope, Alaska AOGCC 5 August 2024 18697 24-119 Rev. 0 Peat deposits have been discovered under marine sediments in the Bering and Chukchi Seas. These deposits were tested, and results revealed Beringia was comprised of grassy shrubs, tundra, dwarf birch, and willow. This indicated a warmer climate in the area compared to today (Hoffecker and Elias 2007). Beringia facilitated a migration of diverse large mammal species to North America that was supported by tundra-steppe grasses and shrubs (Shapiro et al. 2004). The most widely accepted hypothesis regarding the peopling of North America postulates that humans traversed Beringia from Siberia into Alaska, at least by 12,000 B.P. Pleistocene-era Beringia experienced a significantly colder and drier environment during the Last Glacial Maximum, 25,000–14,000 B.P. Analyses of lacustrine sediment cores, loess sediment cores, loess deposits, and buried peat deposits have indicated the Beringian environment was dominated by grasses, sedges, willow, and sage. From 14,000–12,000 B.P., the Beringian landscape was characterized by an increase in dwarf birch (Hoffecker et al. 1993). Populations of aspen, poplar, and juniper also increased, which became even more prominent over the next 2,000 years (Wynn 2007). The following stage, 10,000–7,000 B.P., was dominated by a sharp increase in alder and some spruce (Hoffecker et al. 1993). The last stages of the Pleistocene experienced the extinction of most of the megafauna in North America, including the woolly mammoth and short-faced bears in present-day Alaska. Most scientists attribute their extinction to a combination of human impact and climatic change associated with the last glacial cycle (Shapiro et al. 2004). During the beginning of the Holocene era, between 11,500 and 9,000 B.P., Alaska experienced an interval of warmer temperatures. Several animal and plant species increased their range into more northern regions. The creation of thaw lakes on the Arctic Coastal Plain between 12,000 and 9,000 B.P. was also caused by this temperature increase (Kaufman et al. 2004). 2.2 Climate: The Arctic Slope or North Slope of Alaska is typified by a relative absence of heat energy due to its high latitude. Most of the area is underlain by permafrost, except for those areas under large bodies of water. The region experiences cool summers, fall snow, and long winters, with minimal precipitation after freeze- up (Stager and McSkimming 1984). The arctic climate zone receives an average of 6.3 inches (in) (16 centimeters [cm]) of precipitation annually. The region is known for its cold weather, with summer temperatures typically reaching a mean high of 46 degrees Fahrenheit (°F). Winter temperatures reach a maximum average of 5.8°F. Snowfall varies across the region, typically averaging 11.8–29.5 in (30–75 cm) annually (Gallant et al. 1995). 2.3 Geography and Vegetation: The North Slope of Alaska consists of low-lying wet tundra with many lakes and rivers. This region is exposed to subfreezing temperatures and snow which is possible in any season (Lobdell 1985). This flat landscape is home to occasional elevated features such as pingos and mounds of earth-covered ice. Pingos grow rapidly, recede slowly, and are created by subsurface pressure in a permafrost environment (Lobdell 1985). Similar to its paleoenvironment, the contemporary North Slope is an arctic tundra characterized by dwarf shrubs, mosses, and lichens, with vegetation varying by soil type and climate (Hoffecker and Elias 2007). Although the region is largely treeless, willow and balsam poplar are sometimes found in the larger valleys of the foothills and mountains. Trees are found on the northern edges of the Brooks Range where it transitions northward into alpine tundra. The region transitions into the arctic tundra to the north and subarctic tundra on the Seward Peninsula (Hoffecker and Elias 2007). Elevation increases gradually from Shaviovik Unit 1 Determination of Eligibility North Slope, Alaska AOGCC 6 August 2024 18697 24-119 Rev. 0 sea level inland, with rolling foothills extending from the limits of the coastal plain to the north of the Brooks Range. The flat arctic coastal plain is characterized by low rainfall, poor drainage above permafrost, and many types of grass and lakes (Hoffecker and Elias 2007). Snow is a vital source of moisture during the spring growing season in an otherwise arid landscape. In areas where snow accumulates, the landscape may reveal lush meadows (Freeman 1984). This region is comprised of six major types of plant communities: cottongrass meadows, wet sedge meadows, dry upland meadows, floodplain and cutbank vegetation, outcrop and talus vegetation, and aquatic vegetation of lakes (Spetzman 1959). Cottongrass meadows are the most widespread and are comprised primarily of tussock-forming cottongrass. Secondary plant species include various types of grasses and sedges, small shrubs, and herbs. Wet sedge meadows are dominant in flat, poorly drained lowlands, margins of floodplains, and lake margins (Spetzman 1959). The dry upland plant community is found along ridges and rubble slopes where bedrock is close to the surface. Vegetation in these areas is sparse and grows only a few inches high. Lichens, grasses, dry land sedges and rushes, ground shrubs, and various herbs are found in this region (Spetzman 1959). The floodplain and cutbank plant communities are characterized by successive stages of plant development: the pioneer stage, comprised of woody and herbaceous vegetation; tall shrubs, including dense willows; low shrubs, characterized by smaller willows and heath shrubs; and cottongrass meadows. These plant development changes are a result of riverbank erosion, reaction effects of vegetation, and variations in permafrost levels (Spetzman 1959). Outcrop and talus vegetation, plants scattered among extensive areas of exposed bare rock, are found in the higher regions of the foothills and mountains, from 1,500 feet (ft) (460 meters [m]) to 4,500 ft (1,370 m) in elevation. Aquatic vegetation on the North Slope is found almost exclusively in lakes. The principal plants consist of submerged emergent and marginal emergent rooted aquatics (Spetzman 1959). 3.0 Cultural Background: The Arctic Slope of Alaska has a long history of continuous occupation, dating to approximately 14,000 years B.P. and continuing to the modern era (Holmes 2001). This section describes the human past of the project area and the surrounding region, establishing the background of expected cultural resources. This context provides the framework for evaluating the historic significance and National Register eligibility and is broad enough to encompass any cultural resources that may be located within the project area. 3.1 Prehistory: This section is a brief overview of the archaeological traditions within the vicinity of the project area. Archaeology in northern Alaska is a dynamic discipline that is ever-changing with new research and discoveries, advancing technologies, and re-analyses of past studies. Archaeologists are not in agreement over typologies, and no list of archaeological traditions will satisfy all researchers. The most common and widely accepted traditions are discussed below, although there are different interpretations of the archaeological record. 3.1.1 Paleo-Indian tradition (end of last ice age – 9,800 B.P.): The Paleo-Indian tradition marks the earliest inhabitants of Eastern Beringia (Friesen and Mason 2016). This is the oldest of the north Alaska cultural traditions. The most well-known site attributed to the Paleo- Indian tradition is the Mesa Site, located in the northern foothills of the Brooks Range. The Mesa Site Shaviovik Unit 1 Determination of Eligibility North Slope, Alaska AOGCC 7 August 2024 18697 24-119 Rev. 0 yielded lanceolate fluted projectile points with sides that gently curve down and many other bifacial tools and points, but no microblades. These were created using classic Paleo-Indian techniques (Kunz et al. 2003, Kunz and Reanier 1996). This site was most likely used as a hunting lookout and weapon repair station (Kunz et al. 2003, Kunz and Reanier 1996). 3.1.2 Paleoarctic tradition (10,000 – 7,000 B.P.): The Paleoarctic tradition is the most well-documented in Alaska and was originally discovered at Onion Portage (Anderson 1984). It is the first tradition to use microblades which are “bladelets” that were inset into arrows and spears (Anderson 1970, 1984; Hoffecker 1993). In addition to microblades, common artifacts of the Paleoarctic tradition include shaft straighteners, large cores, unifacial end scrapers, bifacial knives, burins, blades, and projectile points (Anderson 1984; Dixon 2001; Kunz et al. 2003). Many Paleoarctic sites are characterized as caribou lookout sites, short-term camps, and dwelling sites along riverbanks that would have existed in a treeless tundra environment (Anderson 1970, 1984). The Trail Creek Cave site is the only paleoarctic example of preserved organic tools where archaeologists found antler projectile points with slots carved for microblade insertion (Larsen 1968, West 1996). 3.1.3 Northern Archaic tradition (6,000 – 3,000 B.P.): The Northern Archaic begins when there is a distinct technological shift from the Paleoarctic and continues to the late Holocene (Friesen and Mason 2016). Northern Archaic sites are found in Arctic Alaska and are also concentrated in the Brooks Range and south into Interior Alaska as far as the upper Susitna River drainage in the Alaska Range and around Bristol Bay (Esdale 2008). The Kuparuk Pingo site is a Northern Archaic hunting camp located on a subsiding pingo (Lobdell 1985). This site indicates the archaeological significance and longevity of pingos as well as the use of wet tundra (Lobdell 1985). Generally, the people of the Northern Archaic tradition lived in a treeless tundra environment until Pleistocene warming when southern areas of the arctic began to grow shrubs (Anderson 1984). Northern Archaic people hunted large terrestrial mammals such as caribou, muskoxen, and moose. Assemblages from this period contain large bifacial side and corner notched points, stemmed projectile points, bifacial knives, and large scrapers creating a broad toolkit with multiple weapon systems for many purposes (Esdale 2008; Kunz et al. 2003). Features of this tradition also include semisubterranean house floors such as at Onion Portage and stone- lined tent rings in the Brooks Range and on the North Slope (Anderson 1984). The Tuktu Site, located in Anaktuvuk Pass, is assigned to the Northern Archaic and contains the Tuktu House, one of the earliest identified houses in the Arctic. Charcoal and bone from this site date 6,510 years B.P. (Esdale 2008). 3.1.4 Arctic Small Tool tradition (ASTt) (4,500 – 1,200 B.P.): Arctic Small Tool tradition (ASTt) is divided into four subtraditions: Denbigh Flint Complex (5,500 – 2,300 B.P.), Norton (2,500 – 1,000 B.P.), Choris (2,900 – 2,200 B.P.), and Ipiutak (1,800 – 1,400 B.P.) (Gillispie 2018). Assemblages attributed to ASTt are known for their diminutive size and elegant tools with delicate chipping (Dumond 2005). Sites characterized as ASTt have been found across Alaska and as far away as Greenland. In northern Alaska, ASTt sites have been identified between the Arctic coast and the Brooks Range. Assemblages consist of tiny stone tools, which include small end-blades and side-blades, microblades, multiple types of scrapers, bifacial burins, small adze blades, and bifaces (Dumond 1987). Small semisubterranean houses likely used during the winter (though rare) have been identified at early ASTt sites (Kunz et al. 2003). Stone oil lamps, pottery, and polished slate artifacts are absent in early ASTt assemblages but have been recovered from sites assigned to later ASTt. House features are also more commonly found at later ASTt occupations (Yarborough 2001). Most archaeologists believe the ASTt displaced the earlier Northern Archaic peoples, who retreated to Interior Alaska (Dumond 1987). Shaviovik Unit 1 Determination of Eligibility North Slope, Alaska AOGCC 8 August 2024 18697 24-119 Rev. 0 3.1.5 Northern Maritime tradition (<1,500 B.P.): This tradition has a large geographic distribution, stretching along the coast from southwestern Alaska to Greenland. The people of the Northern Maritime tradition are the direct ancestors of the Inuit, Iñupiat, Inuvialuit, and Yup’ik (Frieson and Mason 2016). It is divided into three sub-traditions including Old Bering Sea (I, II, and III) (1,800 – 1,600 B.P.), Birnirk (1,400 – 800 B.P.), and Thule which began at 1,000 B.P. and developed into Yup’ik and Iñupiat (Frieson and Mason 2016, Gillispie 2018, Jensen 2016). Northern Maritime people were fully adapted to a maritime lifestyle including whaling and the development of whaling villages (Jensen 2012a, Jensen 2012b). Whale migrations were close to the coast and could provide 50 tons of meat and blubber for a village. The tradition used ground slate for many of their tools such as ulus, projectile points, inserts, and large barbed knives. Artifacts also included harpoons for marine hunting, fixed lance heads and foreshafts, pottery, baskets, grass matting, and snowshoes (Arnold and Stimmell 1983; Dumond 1987; McCartney 1980) During this time there were semi-subterranean houses with arctic entryways (Zimmerman et al. 2000). 3.2 History: Researchers generally agree the historic period in Alaska begins with the arrival of European explorers, although Western trade goods had reached Alaska via extensive trade networks extending to Siberia long before these explorers landed on Alaskan soil. The following discussion separates the historic period into European Exploration and the American Period. 3.2.1 European Exploration (1728 – 1867): In 1590, Beringia was first proposed as a route for ancient migration from Siberia into the New World. One hundred thirty-eight years later in 1728, Vitus Bering, the first European to learn of Alaska, sailed the strait (Hoffecker and Elias 2007). Despite having an indirect influence on Iñupiat communities through extended trade networks, it was many years before contact and direct European influence on the North Slope. The Russian Billings Expedition contacted mainland Iñupiat in 1791 and the first trading post, St. Michaels Trading Post, was set up with the Iñupiat in 1833 (Jensen and Sheehan 2016). In 1826, Britain’s interest in the Northwest Passage inspired Sir John Franklin and Captain Frederick Beechey to undertake simultaneous trips to the Arctic; Franklin from the east and Beechey from the west. The expeditions were supposed to meet somewhere in the middle along the Arctic coast. Franklin made it to Prudhoe Bay while Beechey was stopped by an ice pack near Icy Cape, although he and his crew were able to continue via a small boat to Point Barrow (Jensen and Sheehan 2016). Upon his return, Beechey brought with him stories of whales in the waters off the Arctic coast. In 1848, whaling boat captain Thomas Roys sailed through the Bering Straits into the Western Arctic. News of his success spread rapidly, and 200 whaling ships entered Arctic waters in 1852. The peak of the whaling industry in northern Alaska brought an influx of Europeans to the coast. Their presence had a tremendous impact on whale populations and traditional Iñupiat culture. Whale populations were depleted, and crews had to travel farther for whales (Jensen and Sheehan 2016). Iñupiat were brought into the commercial European whaling industry and worked for wage labor, impacting traditional lifeways such as trade and subsistence (Jensen and Sheehan 2016). From Roys’ initial venture in 1848 until the demise of the whaling industry in 1914, over 2,600 whaling ships entered the Arctic (Cassell 2000). Shaviovik Unit 1 Determination of Eligibility North Slope, Alaska AOGCC 9 August 2024 18697 24-119 Rev. 0 3.2.2 American Period (1867 – present): Whaling and exploration of the Arctic continued after the U.S. purchase of Alaska in 1867. Native trade with Americans increased dramatically during this period, although traditional material culture, such as kayaks and harpoons, remained an important part of the Iñupiat lifestyle. A shift in house construction saw the introduction of log cabins after 1900, though European clothing, guns, and steel traps had long been incorporated with more traditional cultural elements (Ray 1975). In 1885, the first whaling station was established at Point Barrow. Thirteen additional whaling stations had been built by 1897 between Point Barrow and Cape Seppings, south of Point Hope. The whalers relied heavily on Iñupiat labor to hunt whales, while the Americans remained at the stations. The most profitable parts of the whale were the oil and baleen, which were taken and sold. The remainder of the whale was given to the Iñupiat hunters as payment for their work (Alaska Consultants Inc. 1984). While the demand for whale oil, among other products, increased during the Civil War, it decreased substantially after the war and with the increased use of fossil fuels. Combined with the decreased demand was a considerable decline in the population of bowhead whales. Whalers supplemented a decreased stock of whales by hunting walruses for blubber and ivory (Cassell 2000). Many of the whaling trading posts were abandoned and activity declined on the Arctic coast in the early 1900s (Yarborough 2001). Following the decline of the whaling industry, North Slope residents turned to fur trapping and reindeer herding to supplement the economy. Large herds of reindeer were introduced to Wainwright and Barrow beginning around 1915. Herds were difficult to maintain due to disease, predation, and the loss of animals to wild caribou herds. The reindeer industry in northern Alaska collapsed in the early 1930s due to declining prices for meat and hides (Reanier 2007). At the same time reindeer herding was established on the North Slope, fur trading posts were built at Beechey Point and Barter Island while sub-posts were positioned along the coast. Itinerant traders moved along the coast and up rivers to scattered camps. While fur prices peaked in the 1920s and 1930s, the industry subsided after the Great Depression. Families and traders who resided in settlements along the coast were forced to relocate to Utqiagvik (previously known as Barrow) or Canada. They also moved further inland to caribou hunting sites within the Brooks Range. The declining fur industry, combined with the increased influences of missionaries, schools, and government services, encouraged many North Slope residents to move to regional centers such as Barrow (Arctic Environmental Information and Data Center 1979). The next wave of activity in the Arctic was from the military construction of the Distant Early Warning Line built during the Cold War, which was operational by 1957 and used for more than 30 years. This was followed by a period of development after World War II and lasting into the 1970s during which Alaska’s Arctic coast was mapped using improved technologies and equipment. During this time, numerous field parties nationwide were conducting triangulation and leveling work (Dracup 1997). Starting in 1945, the US Coast and Geodetic Survey (USCGS) mapped the Arctic coast of Alaska between Demarcation Point and Cape Beaufort (Earle 1960). From 1945 to 1953, the USCGS mapped the coast, extending controlled mapping so planimetric maps of inland areas near the coast and hydrographic charts could be made (Earle 1960). USCGS Arctic headquarters were in Point Barrow; a survey station was established on Tigvariak Island, and temporary mobile camps were established as field crews conducted their surveys (Earle 1960; Libbey & Hall, Jr., 1981). In 1951, a U.S. Geological Survey Navy Oil Unit party 1 conducted a survey of the Shaviovik and Kuparuk rivers which are drained by the Sagavanirktok River (Keller and Ditterman 1951). The party moved east to west establishing 15 camps along the way with Camp No. 1 being near the confluence of Shaviovik River and Kemik Creek. This area has been noted to contain Permian-age fossils from the Sadlerochit formation Shaviovik Unit 1 Determination of Eligibility North Slope, Alaska AOGCC 10 August 2024 18697 24-119 Rev. 0 with other rocks ranging through the upper Lower Cretaceous period. It was, however, determined to not to be favorable for the accumulation of oil, although it was noted conditions to the north could be different (Keller and Ditterman 1951:18). Later exploration of the Naval Petroleum Reserve No. 4 revealed the Shaviovik anticline, a 15-mile-long, 3.5-mile-wide, east-west running fold passing through the confluence of Juniper and Fin creeks on the north side of the anticline offered a possible location for accumulated oil at 1,100 feet (Keller, Morris, and Detterman 1961). 3.2.3 Iñupiat of the Arctic Slope: The North Slope of Alaska has been occupied by the Iñupiat people for approximately 4,000 years. The Iñupiat are the Inuit Eskimo-speaking inhabitants of northern Alaska and extreme northwest Canada (Burch 1998). Their territory extends north of the Arctic Circle, as the Brooks Range forms a natural barrier to the south. However, mountain passes at Chandalar and Anaktuvuk, along with the river systems of the Noatak, Kobuk, and Selawik, provide access to Interior Alaska. The Brooks Range was often crossed by coastal peoples so they could hunt mountain sheep and caribou. Therefore, a southern territorial “boundary” for the Iñupiat is not easily defined. The north Alaska coastal region cannot be defined by precise territorial boundaries, but by “cultural preoccupation and economic focuses of the peoples participating in it” (Spencer 1984a). Generally speaking, the Iñupiat of coastal Alaska practiced a maritime-focused subsistence, while those occupying more inland areas focused on land mammal-based subsistence. However, this simplistic dichotomy does not convey the complexities of social organization, travel, and trade that were characteristic of the area. A fluidity of movement existed between the coastal and interior people. For example, people from the interior often traveled to the sea for maritime hunting, while the coastal people would travel to the interior to hunt land mammals (Spencer 1984a). The Iñupiat traditionally lived in semi-permanent coastal communities, located within good hunting areas. These communities were typically located along the edge of the foothills, near the rivers, or on the coast. Temporary fishing camps and hunting locales were established in tundra areas (Spencer 1984a). Iñupiat houses were semi-subterranean and made of bone and wood, with sod blocks cut from the tundra. People entered the houses through a ground-level passage that inclined gently downward. The passage would end in a cooking area, a meat cellar in the permafrost, and a corridor that led upward into the main room. This room was usually lined with driftwood and occasionally whalebone. The walls of the home were composed of sod and a skylight of gut was located on the roof. The houses were 10-12 ft (3–3.7 m) in diameter and could house 8–12 people (Spencer 1984b). For those communities located from the Bering Strait north to Point Barrow, including Point Barrow, Point Hope, Cape Prince of Wales, and the Diomede Islands, whaling was of prime importance both as a source of food and as a center of ritual and ceremonial activity (Spencer 1984a). Whaling was a specialized activity that developed into the hallmark of north Alaska coast cultures (Spencer 1984b). In addition to whale, the Iñupiat also hunted seal, caribou, waterfowl, and harvested fish from inland areas. The early spring brought the breakup and retreat of sea ice, followed by the appearance of waterfowl and anadromous fish in April and May. Seals, walrus, and whales appear in the region during this time as well (Fitzhugh 1988). The spring whale hunt, and the preparation and ceremony associated with it, began the yearly subsistence round. Following the spring whale hunt was the hunting of the Pacific walrus which enters the area in late June and stays until August. The Iñupiat hunted beluga, narwhal, polar bear, and seals throughout the summer. They also hunted caribou, waterfowl, and harvested fish from inland areas (Spencer 1984a). Shaviovik Unit 1 Determination of Eligibility North Slope, Alaska AOGCC 11 August 2024 18697 24-119 Rev. 0 While the seasonal round for coastal communities focused on the harvesting of maritime resources, inland groups relied on land mammals, especially the caribou. Brown bear, mountain sheep, ptarmigan, rodents, fur-bearing predators, and freshwater fish constituted the remainder of their subsistence basis. Due to the importance of caribou, their migration patterns determined the mobility activities of the inland Iñupiat. Since caribou are migratory, the inland Iñupiat tended to be more mobile than their whaling neighbors to the north. Their campsite locations reflected the communal spring and fall migration movements of caribou movements (Spencer 1984a). Many changes occurred in north coastal Alaska with the arrival of Euroamerican whalers. Barrow became the regional hub and grew to a population of 2,000 in 1925 due to its location as a service center. Its growth was mainly due to an influx of people from outlying areas from both the coast and inland (Spencer 1984b). Based on the 2020 economic and census report, the North Slope Borough (NSB) was estimated as having a population of 11,031, approximately 5,600 of whom identify as American Indian and Alaska Natives, additionally, an estimated 2,000 residents make up the Prudhoe Bay workforce (Alaska Department of Commerce, Community, and Economic Development [ADCCED] 2022; NSB 2019). Iñupiat villages today are still dependent on subsistence activities such as whaling, fishing, and hunting. However, amenities such as wastewater systems, electricity, airports, schools, police, health clinics, and wildlife management are offered throughout most communities today (ADCCED 2022). 3.3 Historical Context of the North Slope Oil Industry 3.3.1 Establishment of the Naval Petroleum Reserve No. 4 (1923-1944): World War I established a federal understanding that the United States Navy would likely require a wealth of petroleum products in the near future (Reed 1958). This attitude led to the signing of an Executive order establishing the Naval Petroleum Reserve No. 4 (PET4) in February 1923 by President Warren G. Harding (Reed 1958). It was one of four U.S. regions thought to contain significant amounts of oil that were to be reserved for national crises (Bird 2001). During the following four years, the Geological Survey sent exploratory geologic and topographic parties to the reserve, and a basic understanding of the PET4 was worked out in a reconnaissance fashion (Reed 1958). From 1926 to 1943, the PET4 received little attention (Reed 1958). The outline of geological pattern was understood due to the Geological Survey Bulletin 815 published in 1930, but a combination of factors led to dismissal of Alaska as a viable option for exploration (Reed 1958). Financial belt-tightening on a federal level due to the repercussions of World War I, the Dust Bowl, and the Great Depression, combined with the remoteness of northern Alaska and no great shortage of petroleum products in the U.S. industry left oil exploration in the area a non-starter (Reed 1958). With the turn of 1940, even the United States was forced to acknowledge the global unrest growing with the advent of World War II (Reed 1958). The intense mechanization of this conflict was unprecedented and required a staggering amount of petroleum products (Reed 1958). Alongside this conflict came the shortening of global distances as faster, longer range air and watercraft were developed (Reed 1958). This pattern of events directly led to the intense drive to gather a better understanding of the resources available within the PET4 (Reed 1958). Not only could the discovery of a significant oil field contribute to the trade of crude oil outside of Alaska, but there was even speculation that the oil could be refined within Alaska itself (Reed 1958). 3.3.2 Exploration of the Naval Petroleum Reserve No. 4 (1944-1953): On February 5, 1944, Commodore William G. Greenman, the director of the Naval Petroleum Reserves, initiated action that led to the exploratory program of PET4 (Reed 1958). On March 21, the first reconnaissance party began their investigation of the reserve and returned on April 22, 1944 (Reed 1958). Shaviovik Unit 1 Determination of Eligibility North Slope, Alaska AOGCC 12 August 2024 18697 24-119 Rev. 0 Their report recommended a full-scale petroleum exploration of the area (Reed 1958). On June 2, 1944, President Franklin D. Roosevelt approved the exploration of the PET4 and the surrounding areas (Reed 1958). By the end of 1944, the program was well underway, resulting in the recovery of a wealth of information regarding the geological nature of the PET 4 and the establishment of a camp near Point Barrow occupied by a United States Naval Construction Battalion (Seabee) attachment, with full air service (Reed 1958). Over the next year, coinciding with the formal end of World War II, progress was made to convert to a civilian contractor operation, in addition to increased air, sea, and land-based activity (Reed 1958). Arctic Contractors (Arcon) took over the exploratory operations in the PET4 in 1946 and completed more than twice the amount of estimated winter freighting (Reed 1958). Additionally, 1946 saw the use of air- based magnetometry, photography, and map recordation. The work of five geological field crews was supplemented by office and laboratory studies as well as two seismic and two gravity-meter studies (Reed 1958). Of particular note, Umiat test well 1 was drilled to 6,005 ft, and Umiat core test 1 was also completed (Reed 1958). 1947 saw the expansion of infrastructure by Arcon, including the connection of a large steel tower allowing for the connection to the U.S. Army long-range radio navigation system (Reed 1958). By the end of 1947, the operating committee responsible for advising on policies and procedures within PET4 recommended continuation of exploratory action until at least 1952 and indicated that additional funds would be required (Reed 1958). By 1948, the wealth of knowledge and data gathered since 1944 began to bear fruit for exploratory purposes (Reed 1958). Simpson test well 1 was drilled to the basement rocks in the Cape Simpson area, and further testing was undertaken in the Barrow area (Reed 1958). About $7.5 million was expended on the PET4 in 1949 (Reed 1958). The year saw an average of 528 contractor employees aggregating 1.3 ton-miles in winter freighting, the design of heavy rig foundations, the completion of the South Barrow test well and an associated gas well, the establishment of bulk fuel storage in Barrow, and boat freighting within the Reserve (Reed 1958). In 1950, drilling aggregated 36,000 ft at 16 sites across the PET4 (Reed 1958). Additionally, work continued across five seismic studies, one gravity-meter study, and seven geological studies (Reed 1958). Work continued at Umiat and Simpson, suggesting large discoveries (Reed 1958). 1951 saw a shift in approach, given concerns about the longevity of the project, but work continued (Reed 1958). Freighting via sled train totaled 1,860,194 ton-miles, and drilling at 20 sites aggregated 47,710 ft (Reed 1958). Additionally, a small field was identified and proved at Cape Simpson, Umiat was better-defined, and Gubik test wells No. 1 and No. 2 were drilled (Reed 1958). 1952 and 1953 saw a major reduction in drilling operations, and select equipment was moved to central points for inventory, storage, and return shipment (Reed 1958). No drilling occurred in 1953, though geological and geophysical work continued to logical stopping points (Reed 1958). It is estimated that in the ten years of exploratory efforts, the extent of the oil and gas opportunities in the western half of the PET4 were fundamentally outlined and better understood (Reed 1958). The explorations document an extraordinary integration and coordination between industry and Federal organizations. It should also be highlighted that the work undertaken from 1944 through 1953 built up a fundamental knowledge as to how to work within an environment like northern Alaska, and only with such knowledge could the work that continues to this day be productive. Shaviovik Unit 1 Determination of Eligibility North Slope, Alaska AOGCC 13 August 2024 18697 24-119 Rev. 0 The groundbreaking work that occurred in the PET4 paved the way for the successes of the North Slope as a functional unit. With the discovery of such a powerful and heavily sought-after resource as the field discovered in 1964, and the fundamental knowledge built through work undertaken in the PET4, Alaska was undoubtedly pushed forward as a state and an entity unto itself as a self-sustaining and forward-moving entity within U.S. History. 3.3.3 Modern Oil and Gas on the North Slope (1968 – present): The first major discovery at Prudhoe Bay was in 1968 by Atlantic Richfield Company (ARCO) and its partner Humble Oil (now Exxon) (BP Exploration 1997). The Prudhoe Bay field was developed by ARCO, British Petroleum Exploration, and its partners beginning in 1969 (BP Exploration 1997). Pipeline construction required a route where much of the right-of-way was on federal and state lands. Land ownership questions were addressed with passage of the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act in 1971 (Bureau of Land Management 2002). The pipeline was planned in the late 1960s and early 1970s as a means to transport oil from the North Slope to Valdez for shipping by tanker to other destinations. Actual construction of the 789 mi (1,270 km) long pipeline, known as the Trans Alaska Pipeline System (TAPS), began in April 1974 and was completed in June 1977 at a cost of approximately $8 billion. It was the largest privately funded construction project in history at the time (TAPS 2019). The TAPS line was built by the Alyeska Pipeline Service Company, and by 1983, the North Slope oil fields provided about 20 percent of the total US oil production, producing over 1.7 million barrels of oil per day. New development wells were installed in the Prudhoe Bay and Kuparuk oil fields that same year (BP Exploration 1997). Of note to this investigation is the advent and invigoration of mandated and regulated plug and abandonment activities undertaken by operators after the closing of exploratory wells. Particularly within the state of Alaska, the advent of the National Environmental Protection Act in 1970 and the Safe Drinking Water Act of 1974 brought about a series of standards regarding plug and abandonment activities previously unseen (BLM 2019). The exploratory drilling undertaken throughout the state, including the Shaviovik well discussed in this report, primarily occurred prior to the establishment of plug and abandonment standards currently in place. As such, many of the plug and abandonment activities undertaken by operators prior to the 1970’s would have been at the discretion of those operators, utilizing the best technology at the time (BLM 2019). The oil and gas and gas producers became and remain an important part of Alaska’s economy through permanent and temporary jobs within the oil companies and oil field service companies, taxes, fees, and the permanent fund dividend. North Slope exploration and development have contributed appreciably. 4.0 Shaviovik Unit 1 Well Historical Narrative and Site Description: 4.1 Well Site Historical Context Following the 1968 oil discovery on the North Slope, on December 10, 1968, the Colorado Oil and Gas Corporation (COGC) as an independent operator based out of Denver, applied for a permit to drill McCulloch-Colorado-Newmont Shaviovik Unit 1 (Shaviovik Unit 1) (Titus 1968). The Division of Oil and Gas approved the application on December 23, 1968 (Burrell 1968). Reports of operations for Shaviovik Unit 1 outline that equipment was moved to location throughout December (USDOIGS 1968). Shaviovik Unit 1 Determination of Eligibility North Slope, Alaska AOGCC 14 August 2024 18697 24-119 Rev. 0 COGC drilling activity on the North Slope of Alaska was part of a drilling and seismic exploratory rush that took place between 1968-69. The rush saw the import of roughly 430,00 tons of supplies to the North Slope and the influx of nearly 50,000 people between November of 1968 and August of 1969 (Simasko 1971). According to drilling and corporation records, the Shaviovik Unit 1 well is one of two wells COGC drilled on the North Slope, the second being the Gubik Unit 1, a successful gas well. COGC additionally drilled 13 wells in the Alaska southeast (Drilling Edge 2024). On January 26, 1969, at 12:50 pm, under permit 168-113, with the Alaska Petroleum Institute (API) number: 223-20001-00, the COGC spudded Shaviovik Unit 1 with a Keystone Spudder (USDOIGS 1969a). This was conducted at the coordinates (69.54208, -147.52057) (Drilling Edge 2024). This well was part of a 132 percent increase of drilling for oil in Alaska. In that year 44 wells were drilled, with 32 being on the North Slope where 17 wells were deemed successful (Soronen 1970). A photo of the potential well site was found as part of the Project Jukebox oral history program through the University of Alaska Fairbanks. The photo, however, may misidentify the well site or be misdated as it reads Colorado Oil & Gas, Shaviovik #1, 1963 and all official records don’t have the well operating until after 1969 (Figure 2). During the first two months of operation, work crews moved rotary equipment to location, completed the construction of the gravel pad, and constructed the rotary substructure (USDOIGS 1969b). Furthermore, crews took steps to prevent blow-outs, and undertook logging the identification of hydrocarbons and lithology. On June 27, 1969, at 7,995 feet and no product, Core Laboratories Inc. recommended plug and abandonment (Cusator 1969). COGC laid out a plan for proceedings with the installation of a 4-inch by 10- foot sealed end pipe well marker. This would have the well name and location with 4 feet of the pipe remaining above the ground surface (AOGCC 1969a). Records outline that plug and abandonment operations were completed on July 5, 1969, with four plugs completed (USDOIGS 1969c). On July 11, 1969, the State of Alaska DNR requested a set of samples from Shaviovik Unit 1 be sent to their office in Anchorage (Wingerter 1969). On July 22, 1969, the requested samples were sent down to Anchorage, including a total of 8 boxes of samples (Brockway 1969). On August 7, 1969, the DOI contacted COGC, indicating that the company had not properly filed 30 CFR 221.58(1) “Subsequent report of abandonment” or 30 CFR 221.59 “Log and history of well”, and requested such documentation (Linton 1969a). On August 14, 1969, COGC submitted the aforementioned reports to the DOI (Rives 1969). The Individual Well Record was submitted on August 19 (USDOIGSCD 1969), and the Well Completion Report and Log was submitted on October 21, 1969 (AOGCC 1969b). As of November 26, 1969, the rig and associated camp for Shaviovik Unit 1 were still in place, and site inspection was still required to complete the process for official well abandonment (Linton 1969b). On December 11, COGC, Vice President, J.R. Coleman, submitted an outline of clean-up operations to be undertaken at Shaviovik Unit 1 to the DOI, with an estimated completion date of May 10, 1970 (Coleman 1969). The USGS Conservation Division completed a site inspection on May 1, and noted the gravel pad constructed and to be used for short-term storage of all buildings and equipment until they could be removed completely (Wunnicke 1970a). Inspection crews also noted equipment attributed to Navy operations in the area, stored within 0.25 mi of the COGC pad, including 2,000 oil drums, drilling mud, and cement (Wunnicke 1970a). According to records, COGC requested that the remaining rig, auxiliary equipment, and supplies be stored on lease Fairbanks 021795, which is associated with the site (Wunnicke 1970b). The DOI and the Bureau of Land Management concurred that they could proceed as long as the lease was in force and requested that the equipment be stacked in an organized manner (Wunnicke 1970b). Shaviovik Unit 1 Determination of Eligibility North Slope, Alaska AOGCC 15 August 2024 18697 24-119 Rev. 0 During the DNR-directed survey, inspectors noted that the rig was still in place over the well site, and the campsite was still located 0.25 mi to the east, including a stack of 55-gallon drums near the river (Smith 1974). Further DNR survey identified debris at the well site, including remains of a building, a barrel at the wellhead, and what was identified to likely be the reserve pit. It was noted that there was no visible P&A marker visible at the wellsite, and that debris associated with Navy activities was still scattered around the site (Smith 1975). Approximately 2,200 barrels of miscellaneous petroleum products were stored near the Shaviovik Unit 1 site (ADEC 2021), at what is now called the Juniper Creek Drill Site Fuel Dump. The USACE directed cleanup action in 1985 led to the collection and disposal of all barrels located at the site that contained liquids, the skimming, siphoning, absorption, and/or containment of uncontained, puddled, and/or pooled petroleum, oil, and/or lubricants for transport or disposal (USACE 2011). According to records, a 1997 Superfund Technical Assessment & Response Team assessment identified approximately 50 to 100 drums remaining at the site (USACE 2011). Site survey completed on August 10, 2024, identified the wellhead and its condition with respect to P&A, and some additional debris or contaminates within the site’s vicinity. 4.2 2024 Site Visit On August 10, 2024, a helicopter consisting of AOGCC Representative, Bryan McLellan, Cruz Construction Representative, Ben Bitler, ACES Well Site Leader, Clint Spence, and ACES Archaeologist, Travis Shinabarger, and Alpha Aviation helicopter pilot, Will Ratz, visited the Shaviovik Unit 1 well site. This was conducted under the OHA State Cultural Resources Permit number 2024-57. The team flew the alternative access route from Deadhorse southwest to the well site (Figure 1). This overview of the well site shows a cross-like wellhead emerging from the approximately 8 acres of disturbed land which is comprised of undulous terrain with brushy willows which are not seen anywhere else in the vicinity (Figure 3). Once landing at the site, the crew went to the wellhead which is a 4-inch pipe emerging approximately 4 feet from the ground with two metal braces bolted approximately one foot from the top of the pipe. (Figure 4). There are large pieces of 2x12 lumber surrounding the well site and within the water that could have served as a platform for the wellhead. A cursory survey around the wellhead site showed some associated cultural materials including a 1-inch piece of braided cable (Figure 5), a 2-inch, 8-foot- long pipe (Figure 6), and nailed 2x12 lumber over 100 feet away from the wellhead (Figure 7). To determine the condition of the wellhead, the ACES Engineer and Cruz Construction Representative began a small-scale excavation with shovels near the base of the wellhead to identify any infrastructure within the requisite 3 feet subsurface to be cut by AOGCC standards (Figure 8). Excavation revealed a large, slanted wood platform on the north end and two I-beams running north to south along the east and west edges (Figure 9). During the excavation, pieces of metal were exposed near the base of the wellhead. This included an oil drum wrench, a ¾-inch bar, 1-inch braided wire, a thick circular piece of metal, possibly the cap to the well, a bucket handle, and four other miscellaneous pieces (Figure 10). Also identified at the south end of the wellhead was a piece of white cloth with red and blue stripes (Figure 11). Upon the departure, the helicopter took the crew to the top of the Shaviovik anticline, which is a 15-mile linear feature to the south of the Shaviovik Unit 1 wellhead (Figure 1). Atop the Shaviovik anticline is a disturbed area that is 0.75 miles long and 400 feet wide (Figure 12). Currently, the disturbance contains pockets of water, much like the area around the Shaviovik Unit 1 wellhead, with this area possibly having been used as an airstrip or gravel quarry during the spudding and drilling of the wellhead. Shaviovik Unit 1 Determination of Eligibility North Slope, Alaska AOGCC 16 August 2024 18697 24-119 Rev. 0 5.0 NRHP Determination of Eligibility: The Shaviovik Unit 1 well can be categorized as a structure (distinct from building constructed for human shelter) for the purposes of a DOE discussion. The following discussion outlines possible considerations of criteria in an effort to offer a formal DOE for the NRHP. 5.1 Criterion A: Association with Significant Events To be considered significant under Criterion A, a property “must be associated with one or more events important in the defined historic context,” (NPS 1995). The Shaviovik Unit 1 well is associated with the oil boom following the 1968 discovery on the North Slope and could be tied to the later part of the Naval Exploration of the PET4 despite its easterly location. However, this particular well never produced any oil and was quickly abandoned within six months of its spudding. Though dry wells did contribute to an overall understanding of north slope formations and general geologic knowledge they were not particularly impactful on the history of the area. Additionally, site clean-up at the time of abandonment and the likely additional clean-up that took place in 1985 at the nearby Juniper Creek Drill Site Fuel Dump have left little evidence of the site and the camp or activities that tie it to the early oil development Shaviovik Unit 1 well is recommended not eligible to the NRHP under Criterion A. 5.2 Criterion B: Association with Lives of Significant Persons To be considered for listing under Criterion B, a property must be “associated with individuals whose specific contributions to history can be identified and documented.” The criterion is generally restricted to properties that illustrate, not commemorate, a person’s achievements (NPS 1995). The Shaviovik Unit 1 well has indirect ties to Naval Exploration of the PET4, which can also be tied to significant individuals within United States history such as Commodore William G. Greenman, President Warren G. Harding, and President Franklin D. Roosevelt. However, these associations are not overtly direct and not tied to the location. None of these individuals were documented visiting the Shaviovik Unit 1 well, nor were they directly involved in the planning or drilling of the well. Research also identified COGC, Vice President, J.R. Coleman, however no significant impacts made by him on history were uncovered during research. Based upon current research, the Shavoivik Unit 1 well is recommended not eligible to the NRHP under Criterion B. 5.3 Criterion C: Distinctive Characteristics of a Type, Period, or Method of Construction To be considered for listing under Criterion C, a property must “embody distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction; represent the work of a master; possess high artistic value; or, represent a significant and distinguishable entity whose components may lack individual distinction” (NPS 1995). The wellhead is a 10-foot pipe which extends 4 feet above the ground surface. It contains a brace within 1 foot of the top of the pipe. No additional remnants of the drilling rig or associated camp remain at the site for investigation into distinctive character or function. As this feature has no architectural flare, or unique characteristics, the Shaviovik Unit 1 is recommended as not eligible to the NRHP under Criterion C. Shaviovik Unit 1 Determination of Eligibility North Slope, Alaska AOGCC 17 August 2024 18697 24-119 Rev. 0 5.4 Criterion D: Potential to Yield Important Information in Prehistory or History To be considered for listing under Criterion D, a property must have the potential to answer, “important research questions about human history [that] can only be answered by the actual physical material of cultural resources” (NPS 1995). To be considered under Criterion D, the Shaviovik Unit 1 well site must have the ability to contribute important information to the understanding of human history. While most often applied to archaeological districts, Criterion D may apply to structures such as the Shaviovik Unit 1 well, as it may provide information on the maintenance equipment used on construction or the use and development of exploratory equipment in the late 1960s and early 1970’s. However, the site has since been heavily remediated and the majority of cultural materials removed. Further investigations or research would likely not yield much or important data. Therefore, the Shaviovik Unit 1 well is recommended as not eligible to the NRHP under Criterion D. 5.5 Integrity: As discussed above, the Shaviovik Unit 1 well was not recommended as eligible to the NRHP under any of the Criteria A-D and therefore does not require an assessment of integrity. 6.0 Conclusions and Recommendations: This DOE report included the review of historical files, results of site investigation, and historical photographs of the Shaviovik Unit 1 Well Site (SAG-00118). ACES recommends and seeks SHPO concurrence with a finding of No Historic Properties Affected for the work required for the wellhead removal and debris cleanup of the immediate area. 7.0 References: Alaska Consultants Inc. 1984.

F~obil.'S ~est Kadleroshilik No ....... 1, Sec. 14, TSN,.. R14E., U.M..(P&A. 31t8~/74)~_~ ~.~e departed Deadhorse by helicopter at 9:20 a.m. and arrived, at the ~lest Kadlero- shilik No. 1 well location at 9:40 a.m. This. is the location where the peregrine falcons are nesting nearby along the Franklin Bluffs. When we arrived over the location we were met by one of these falcons and had to veer awa~v: from it sharply. As we passed over the .location I .took a picture from the. air, Photo (all photos attached). Then we. flew to what had been the ice airstrip a~id landed to observe the tundra and to see how the growth' was coming along where the airstrip had been used. We also lande~ at the northeast end of the airstrip where a collect.ion of tundra material had been scrapped over the ice and snow. There appeared to be no perma~}e~t damage to the tundra, .just a pile of melting ice and snow intermixed with grass ~e flew'back to the ~ell location, landed and made a ground inspection,.~here I took Photo #2. This photo shows some of. the gravel-ice boulders that were placed on top of the pit area and wellhead with the P&A marker attached.. Mis- cellaneous trash and debris can be seen in the foreground..I then. stood on top of the gravel boulders in the pi': area and took Photo #3. This photo is similar to Photo #2 with the exception that you can see the Franklin Bluff area in the background ~here the falcons have. been' nesting., t~ork cannot continue at this location until after August 15, when the falcons have completed their nesting. After walking the perimeter of the. well location ~e discussed the leveling of the gravel over the pit area where the frozen gravel boulders had been placed. I requested that _the gravel be worked toward the wellhead and tie in with the gravel mound around the wellhead so that it would be more or less level After we took off I took Photo.#4 which shows not only the pit and the wellhead but the campsite area whe~re th'ere-was a collection of debris and trash which must be bur'ied. ,. Mobil's Echooka Unit #1, Sec~.29, TIN, R16E, U.N. (Fed. PB for USGS Obs. ~ell ,9/23!7,2) -. ~R63072 ~4e departed the Kadleroshilik well and headed for the Echooka Unit No. 1, ~hich is on a federal lease several· miles further to the south. ~e arrived there at 10:20 a.m., flew over the landing, strip, road and camp pad and landed at the · . ., Ho~er Lo Burrell -2- August 19, 1974 well site. A geophysical crew is currently parked on the camp pad and roads and part of the landing strip, utilizing it as a su~'~er base camp. They are not utilizing the well pad itself. This area had been fairly ~ell cleaned t~,e. up at one I took four photos. Photo ~'5 shows the large bern that.remains on the lower side of the old reserve pit area. This berm has been reseeded and, even though it is not apparent 'in the picture, the grass 'is coming along qui~e strong. In the background can be seen the gravel road that leads to the river, on the right 'there is a filled in area with a portion which sunk, and due. to the drainage from the hillside there has been a pool accumulate there. Photo ''~'~ ~-6 is a view toward the well pad from across the filled reserve pit area, v~hich is in the foreground. It shows a drainage ditch coming from the hillside into the filled area where a channel has erroded. The P&A marker can be seen in the background as can the geophysical camp which is using the gravel roadways and airstrip as a sm'ruer base camp. Photo V}7 shows the filled in pit area and how part of it has. sunk quite a bit. There are bits of debris showing, pieces of pipe, boards, rubber protectors, barrels, and in the background can be seen the P&A marker. Photo #8, in this photo the P&A .marker can be seen v~elded to the ~.~ellhead flange, the temperature survey nipple and valve connected to the center of the flange and the filled in cellar area. I recommended that [~.re gravel be pushed into the reserve pit area both to cover the debris that has started poking, up and to make the pool collection area much smaller. Ny reco[~ndatioJls for further work a~ this location will be passed on to U.~.. ¢ G..S. representatives and are not required directly of the operator by this division. i'4cCuile?~ - Fin Creek Unit ~I, Sec 25,~ T_2~Z~R! ...... [Fed ....... ~le deaprted Echooka location at ll:O0 a.m. and flew over to the McCullogh Fin Creek Unit ~l location in just a fly over'. I observed many barrels scattered around on the P&A location. The Nobil representative wanted to observe and photograph the path taken across the tundra by rolligons that madq trips 'from the Echooka well site to the Bell well site during the last two years. Colorado Oil and Gas - Shaviovik Unit #1, Sec 8, T2N, R19E,. U.M. (P&A 7-4-69) We then flew northeast to the Shaviovik P&A well site where the rig was still standing over the well and a campsite abandoned nearby. I took two photos of this locatioa. This lease and well ~.dll be transferred to the state from the federal government ii) the near future, and since the rig and camp are still in place, there ~,~ill be some future clean-up work and inspections by this division. Photo #9 si~ows the rig standing complete with its equipment over tile location. It appears that very little or no gravel was used for the pad. The rig 'has been here since 1969 when the.well was abandoned due to litigation. It is apparent that the weather is taking its toll on the buildings and equipment. h~;,er L. Burrel 1 -3- August t9, 1974 tm. east I took Photo .¢~10 shm¢i~g the cantpsite and A quarter of a ~ile to '~ caen, ed equipj'F~nt, trucks, pipe and so Tor~h. ]n the background closer to the river is a large stack of 55 gallon drums. ;de continued to follow the rolligon trail northeast until ~.,.e arrived at Arco's '¢~est Kavik airstrip and supply pad where we landed to refuel~ ,~obil's superintendent ' ' ' wanzeo to observe 'the condition of the Parker rig ¢95 ~,yhich is stacked on this pad. The inspection revealed that bears had broken into of the crew camp quarters. The damage ~-~as r~s'tly confi~ed to the s~thod of ~'" the doors or by tearing the doors off. _,~t~ through F'ir. Shaw ,¢ias particularly interested in the condition of this rig since · tn~s ~in-~er ~'ith ~;iobil has the rig on retainer and plans to drill two ~ells ' '- the one rig. Available rigs are rather tight on the North Slope at '~'~ ~,~ S time due to the increase in drilling activity. .~qobil is organizing to cu~ down time to a minimum when moving onto a new location and activating the rig for drilling operations. They feel they will be very pressed to drill the two wells that are planned and make the move betv~een wells during the non'nat winter time span. They hope to accomplish this by moving the camp before freeze-up by using roll igons under special pen,qits. This ~?ould require about twenty trips from the ~est Kavik location, across the tundra 'to the northeast to the Beli location, and from there ¥~orth to the coast area and across to the vicinity of their Bullen's Point staging area (40 miles), a.;~d from. there ·approximately 8 miles south of the ,~4ikkelsen Bay State ~l well to the new location. ~4obil's Bell Unit #1~, Sec. 8, T4N, R23E, U.M. (P&A 6-24-73) J,~e departed the J'lest Kavik locatio~ and proceeded to the Beli Unit #1 loca-~ion, arriving just before 12:00 noon. I took Photo #11 from the air as we passed over the airstrip; it shows the ai'r~p in the foreground, reserve pit area in the background, and the wellhead with the P&A ~arker, and the gravel campsite pad. These are all connected by a road on can be see~ a rolligon and crew quarters. On the campsite pad to the right side is the cat which is being used to level this location. After we landed I walked the perimeter of the location and' took Photo ¢/12 of the P2~ marker. This photo also shows how coarse the so called gravel is here. It is a r~dxture of dirt and ungraded rocks, it ranges from small pebbles on up into the boulder size. It is very hard to do a smoOth.job of leveling or grading tiith this type of soil. Photo,~'~13 is from the campsite pad back toward the wellhead and shows the partially filled and leveled pit area and the P&A marker. Photo~ ~14 is from the southwest corner of the pit area, looking back toward the ~ellhead marker that can be seen in the background. The pit area, ~as still pretty ~et and unleveled. Several boards, wire rope and pieces of debris had not been covered, and a great deal of moisture is being squeezed out of_ the mud that was in the pit when filling commenced. It rained the morning of our arrival ~-~hich did not help the drying up of a pit like this. Homer L. Burrell August 19~ 1974 ~hen ~al king ~n_ perimeter, of the pad I also located a six inch drain pipe ~-~nich needs to be removed or buried. Off of the pad on the east side of the campsite area ~,~as a piling ~hich had been used for the geronimo line from ~,~'~ to~ of the rig ~a~,~. ~e discussed the remaining gracling and clean-up work and concluded that ~o ~}ore days work would be required for completion. I infor~ed Mr. Schalt that I would have to come back after the work ~as complete for the final inspection. Path Across Tundra $~e departed the location and again flew the route N~hich the roliigons had previously used across the tundra so we could observe the lack of d~age that ~he~ impart to the tundra, and with the thouqht in mind that ~bil ~ill be seeking a permit for moving their rigs before, freeze-up. As a result of my o~servat~ons of the rolligon paths ! ~.,~outd recommend that · ~hey use different pathways o~ each trip because it appears that repeated tracking on the same path does cause light damage, especially where wet conditions exist. Mobil's Bulien Point Suppl_~y._~gg~. ~ea~ l.~e flew to Bullen Point, Mobil staging area on the coast and had lunch. Following lunch I took a ~alk around the Mobil' fuel revetment area, and ~r. Taylor sho~ved me how they were hooking up'the pillow tanks and install- lng the pit liners to further protect against possible fuel spills. Nork cr~s ~ere in the process of installing several ~ore pillow tanks to pro- vide a total of ten by the time ~inter times opera%ions begin. Supply barges due to arrive in late August will bring additional fuel and supplies to be staged here for use in drilling the tv~o wells this winter. Point Gorden Grav_e!~Spit,' Sec. 31, TION, R22E, ~!e then flew do~vn the coast to Point Gordon g~vel spit and landed. Mr. Schall showed me how the ice had built up this gravel spit to about the width from the previous year. He took more pictures of the spit and t~at stated that he has other photos to prove this growth. He pointed out 'there was a great deal of gravel available here and their plans are to make a proposal to the Division of Lands to mine the gravel which is over one foot above the high tide line and utilize it to build their nearby well site. He said this would prevent hauling gravel over a much longer haul from a river area. It sounds like a reasonable proposal with a good substantiation of data on the availability of the gravel. ~iobi!'s - l.~est Staines State #1, Sec. 18, TgN, R23E, U.M. (P&A 7/2/71) ,, ~le next flew to the ~est Staines State #1, arriving at 2-40 p.m. After ' landing I took Photo #15 looking to the southwest and showin§ the P&A marker on the wellhead and the level pad area beyond. ~to~.,., L.

I v~as infon~,ed that these boards were left L,~'~ ~ oa purpose because they ,~ope to use this as a staging area for unloading some of the rig that will be ~oved 'to the new well location hear here. The P&A marker can also be seen on the right hand side of the photo. Pi~oto ,/~17 is a view to the south showing the filled and leveled pit area. Photo ~'$18 ~,~as taken from the air after ~,:e took off. An arrow shows the location of the P&A ~,arker, the filled pit areas and' the level gravel pad. The larger water covered area is a portion of the secondary reserve pit area that was made for this v:ell.. I, walked the perimeter of the gravel pad area, and although the gravel is fairly rough, I consider it level enough for approval. However, I noted considerable scattered debris that could be hand picked up, small boards, paper and trash. Mobil 's-Mikkelsen Bax State ~1 l~ie cleparted the ~,'est Staines .and flew west to the Mikkelsen Bay State arriving approximately 3:00 p.m. As we approached for the landing I took Photo ~19 ~,~hich shows the P&A marker on the wellhead, the ~ell leveled gravel pad, and the filled and level pit area. After we landed I took Photo #20 which shows a view to the southwest, showing the filled and level pit area, the P&A marker on the wellhead, and the unfilled cellar. Also in the background can be seen soma pipe. I also noted debris, such as drilling bits, trash and metal scraps ~hich have not been cleaned up, removed or buried. Pho'to ~2'1 is a filled fuel pi't revetment that has now slumped and sunk in and has a pool of oil standing in it. Everyone agreed 'that additional gravel ~,¥,ould have to be filled in here to cover this oil In J).. background over the edge of the pad can be seen some debris. As we took off and I noted that there are several pretty good piles of plate steel and miscellaneous debris around the edge of the ina. Photo ~22 is a view from the air after .~e took off and it shows the level pad, the P&A u~,arker, and the filled and level pit area. We proceeded to Deadhorse arriving about .3:30 p.m. and i.ir. Schall and Hr. Taylor took the chopper and 'Flew on to review the locations they plan to build for this winter. I stayed at the Gay Airways office and filled lOUt. my Field Inspection Reports for each of the five wells we had visited. (copies attached). I later rode over to the Nabor's camp with one of Mobil's personnel and there I ~]et Mr. Schall and Mr. Taylor at dinner time. I gave Hr. Schall two copies of each one of the Field Trip Reports. I wrote remarks on each report noting the unsatisfactory items previously discussed for each one of the five wells. .o- Homer .L~ ~urrel!

Tom Dean, BLM Fairbanks area manager called 10/26/70 to consult with Mr. Smith and me concerning a request for a use or storage permit request from Colorado Oil and Gas. Colorado Oil & Gas requested a permit to store their rig and auxillary equipment and supplies on lease Fairbanks 021795, on which equip - went was used to drill theSIaviovik Unit No. 1 well. The situation is briefly this: Colorado Oil & Gas drilled the Shaviovik well on lease f% 021795 between the spud date,January 26, 1969 and P&A date of July 5, 1969, the standard derrick and draw works were left over the hole. Auxillary equipment and supplies including camp were moved and stacked a few hundred feet of the drill site. - BIM's position is that they do not issue a use permit for storage of drillimg equipment on the lease on which the equipment was used, during the term of theIMMMU oil & gas lease. We concur with the interpretation and/or action. We told Dean that we do not object to the storage of the equipment (except possibly that it should be stacked in a workmen like manner) as long as the lea ;e is in force, but do and will insist the equipment be EE. 1 ,tha4' be _ site and the drill siteNrestored as reasonably possible to condition upon termination of the lease. 2 Other similar and/or comparable situations were discussed. Such as East Kuparuk Unit No. 1 in which Texaco was advised of our determination concerning the storage of Colorado Oil and Gas equipment on the East Kuparuk well site. Dean advised us that U. S.

Mr. Chapman, Colorado Oil and Gas Company's representative was informed final approval of abandonment would not be given by CSGS until the driliing rig and associated buildings were removed from the location, and the entire location restored to as near as possible to original configuration and condition. The operator had constructed a gravel pad some 1/4 miles from the drilling site location for the storage of anterial and. equipment. Mr. Chapman reported they had used 187 truck loads at 73 yards per load to build the pad. The gravel was taken from the near -by river bed (Juniper River?). All buildings, supplemental drilling supplies and equipment except the drilling rig and a shop -storage building (canvas walled) is to be moved to the pad for storage until such time as the rig and equipment is moved to another location. All equipment, buildings and material on the pad had been or will be placed on wood planks to gid in preventing settling into gravel pad and permafrost. Chapman said a plat will be furnished us showing location on the pad of equipment, buildings, supplies etc. The drill site had been cross bulldozed as had the East Kuparuk, Gubik and Little Twist locations. There were a few rough spots remaining to be leveled, and the entire location was to be dragged after all material, equipment etc was moved to the storage pad. The marker was in place. The operators name was missing on the inscription. This is to be added. When and if the planned work is camp kited the location should be in an acceptable condition. Except that I recommend that final approval of abandonment not be given until the rig and associated buildings are removed, and location further leveled if required to meet our requirements. SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION The derrick is a standard mast which requires rig builders to dismantle. The rig and equipment will have to be moved in winter or a permafrost road built to transport rig And equipment to an airstrip on a nearby river gravel bed. N There is'also a considerable amount of Navy equipment and supplies stored Within a quarter mile of the aforementioned pad built by Colorado Oil Company. The greatest amount is oil barrels - at least 20000. There is also some tubular good and cement or drilling mud.. There are several piles of this material scattered over a several acre area. As I understand the situation the Navy moved a National 125 rig and associated supplies to the area in 1952 In anticipation of drilling a 15,000 foot test. l&Gs !7^"'yl i✓ d C 'l �S+ i� � err-..► �J W.

URC:cbg Very truly yours, P. 0. Box 259 Anchorage, Alaska 99501 November 26, 1969 Colorado Oil and Gas Corporation Box 749 Denver, Colorado 80201 Gentlemen: Your company, as unit operator of the Shaviovik unit, tiled a subsequent notice of abandonment for unit well #1 in August of 1969. Our records show that approval of said notice is being withhold until an on site inspection is made by this office. It is our understanding that the rig is still in place and little or no site abandonment and cleanup work has been accomplished to date. We would nppreciate your review of this matter as unit operator and furnishing us a time table for completing the neces- sary cleanup so that an inspection can be made and the records closed on this well site. Such work should be completed as early as possible during this operating season. If you have no immediate use for the rib, we would have no objection to temporarily storing it on location provided it is neatly stacked at one edge of location to permit propor cleanup of the site. Sincerely yours, W. J. Linton Oil and Gas Supervisor Alaska Region cc: Chron.Pile Shaviovik #1 WJLintoa:ps:11/26/69 Memorandum To: Files: Shiviovik #1, Fairbanks, F-021795 From: W. C. Wunnicke _ u T $hG v ry - I; 0J I Subject: Logs/. as required under 30 CFR 221.59 I called Colorado Oil and Gas Corporation and talked to Ralph Coleman re subject logs. He will expedite the mailing of the required logs. He was not sure why the logs were not furnished us for all of Colorado Oil and Gas people are aware of the requirement. It may be McCulloch Oil has the film, At any rate Coleman will see to it we get two copies of all logs run. Coleman reports the Shaviovik location -is not cleaned up nor has the equipment been moved. There is still some cleanup to be done on the Little Twist location, and some equipment (crane and cherry picker) to be moved. The Gubik location is cleaned up but some tubular goods has been stored there. Coleman assured me they will notify us when they go back to make the cleanup, which should be in late September or October, and arrangements will be made at that time for USGS to inspect the location', McCulloch may drill another well in the Unit area if their seismic information indicates a favorable location.
