Brief Well Summary:
NCIU A-07A is the last planned rotary sidetrack for Spartan 151 in the 2025 season. The primary target is the
Beluga sands, with a future option to test the Sterling sands. A 7 casing exit is planned at 2,710. After milling
the window, an FIT is planned to 14.9 ppg. The 6-1/8 production hole has a target TD of ± 7,386 md. The
production interval will be cased with a 3-1/2 production liner. The upper completion is planned to be a 3-
1/2 tieback.
Objective:
Initial completion post rig.Confirm CBL, actual Pool top and bottom, and shallowest allowable perf TVD
approval from AOGCC before perforating.
Wellbore information:
A 7 x 3-1/2 liner lap test, a 3-1/2 tubing test, and a 7 casing test will be performed to 2,635 psi by
Spartan 151 per the approved 10-401.
The well will be completed with a tubing retrievable subsurface safety valve set at ± 400.
Plan to run tubing string with live gas lift valves.
North Cook Inlet Unit, Tertiary System Gas Pool top = Top of Sterling sands, estimated at 3,514 md /
3,243 tvd from prognosis.
North Cook Inlet Unit, Tertiary System Gas Pool Bottom = Base of Beluga sands.
See attached email for updated calculation based on 18 OCT 2025 FIT results.

STANDARD WELL PROCEDURE
NITROGEN OPERATIONS
09/23/2016 FINAL v-offshore Page 1 of 1
1.) MIRU Nitrogen Pumping Unit and Liquid Nitrogen Transport.
2.) Notify Facility Operator of upcoming Nitrogen operations.
3.) Perform Pre-Job Safety Meeting. Review operating procedures and appropriate Safety Data
Sheets (formerly MSDS).
4.) Document hazards and mitigation measures and confirm flow paths. Include review on
asphyxiation caused by nitrogen displacing oxygen. Mitigation measures include appropriate
routing of flowlines, adequate venting and atmospheric monitoring.
5.) Spot Pumping Unit and Nitrogen Tank. Confirm liquid N2 volumes in transport.
6.) Rig up lines from the Nitrogen Pumping Unit to the well and returns tank. Secure lines with whip
checks.
7.) Place signs and placards warning of high pressure and nitrogen operations at areas where
Nitrogen may accumulate or be released.
8.) Place pressure gauges downstream of liquid and nitrogen pumps to adequately measure tubing
and casing pressures.
9.) Place pressure gauges upstream and downstream of any check valves.
10.) Wellsite Manager shall walk down valve alignments and ensure valve position is correct.
11.) Ensure portable 4-gas detection equipment is onsite, calibrated, and bump tested properly to
detect LEL/H2S/CO2/O2 levels. Ensure supplier has a working and calibrated detector as well
that measures O2 levels.
12.) Pressure test lines upstream of well to approved sundry pressure or MPSP (Maximum Potential
Surface Pressure), whichever is higher. Test lines downstream of well (from well to returns tank)
to 1,500 psi. Perform visual inspection for any leaks.
13.) Bleed off test pressure and prepare for pumping nitrogen.
14.) Pump nitrogen at desired rate, monitoring rate (SCFM) and pressure (PSI). All nitrogen returns
are to be routed to the returns tank.
15.) When final nitrogen volume has been achieved, isolate well from Nitrogen Pumping Unit and
bleed down lines between well and Nitrogen Pumping Unit.
16.) Once you have confirmed lines are bled down, no trapped pressure exists, and no nitrogen has
accumulated begin rig down of lines from the Nitrogen Pumping Unit.
17.) Finalize job log and discuss operations with Wellsite Manager. Document any lessons learned
and confirm final rates/pressure/volumes of the job and remaining nitrogen in the transport.
18.) RDMO Nitrogen Pumping Unit and Liquid Nitrogen Tank.

Mr. Dewhurst and Mr. Rixse,
A ached is the updated 10-403 form with Sec on 11 updated. The Proposed Schema c was revised to include the
perforated intervals.
The produc on liner cement job was pumped on 10/24. For the cement job, 139 bbl of 12.5 ppg lead was followed by
27 bbl of 15.3 ppg tail with full returns. The plug was bumped approximately 3 bbl early. A er se ng the liner top
packer, 25 bbl of the 12.5 ppg lead cement was circulated o the liner top, indica ng that there should be cement
expected up to the top of the 3-1/2 produc on liner.
We plan to mobilize coiled tubing and eline to the pla orm in the next couple of days weather permi ng. Currently we
es mate logging the CBL 10/31 - 11/1.

Thank you for the directional survey, logs, and calculations. Would you please send me an updated 10-
403 form with the actual depths under Section 11 (present well condition) and a revised Proposed
Schematic with the full details of the proposed perforated intervals, not just top and base? I will insert
those pages into the application as a revision. Should be good to go after that.
Thanks,

Mr. Dewhurst,
Understood. I appreciate the direc on as I have been wrestling with how to handle the post rig 10-403 submission
myself. NCIU A-07A is the last drill well planned for Tyonek this year, however I will make sure to incorporate the
submission change for next years drilling campaign (four wells planned to start mid April 2026).
Regarding NCIU A-07A, please see the a ached direc onal survey and LWD forma on logs.
TD was called on 10/22 at 7,392. The crew is currently picking up the 3-1/2 produc on liner. We expect to pump the
produc on liner cement job this weekend, and will provide an update on the cement job early next week. The CBL is
currently scheduled for ± 11/08 pending Spartan demobe and construc on project comple on.
On 10/18 an FIT was performed to a 14.9 ppg equivalent mud weight (0.77 psi/).
Maximum possible surface pressure = 2,635 psi from PTD section 26.
Shallowest allowable perf TVD = 2,635 psi / (0.77 psi/ft 0.1 psi/ft) = 3,933 tvd.
Top potential perf interval = 4,863 md / 4,492 tvd.
Bottom potential perf interval = 7,290 md / 6,332 tvd.
Top pool = 3,515 md / 3,248 tvd.
Bottom pool = below TD.
Please let me know if you have any ques ons.
Thank you,

Eric,
We have had some recent internal discussions about how we want to handle perf sundries like this for
new wells. I understand that by getting the sundry into us early, you get the operation on our radar. But
its not practical for us to receive a sundry like this before the well is drilled; the application has no
usable information.
Going forward, we would like you to hold o on submitting perforation sundries until you have the
following minimum information:
Directional survey
LWD logs
Proposed perforated intervals
Pool tops
Shallowest perf calculation
We will continue to approve perforation sundries before the CBL results have come in. That will continue
to be a condition of approval that can be ful lled verbally/via email.
I understand that this will reduce the time interval between sundry submission and start date. I believe
we can prioritize these sundry requests and get them back to you on-time. For the rst few examples, I
suggest agging the perf sundry with a rush when its submitted just so that it gets the extra attention.
Give me a call if you would like to discuss this further.
Thanks,
Andy

8. Drilling Summary
A-07 is a shut in gas well with all opportunities exhausted. Well planned to be sidetracked to down-space the
producing Beluga formations.
The 4-1/2” tubing will be cut and pulled prior to running a 7” cement retainer. The parent will be plugged
with cement above and below the retainer. The parent wellbore will be sidetracked and new wellbore drilled
to 7386’. A 3-1/2” L-80 prod liner will be run, cemented, and perforated based on data obtained while drilling
the interval.
The well will be completed with a 3-1/2” gas lift tie-back completion.
Drilling operations are expected to commence approximately October 7, 2025.
All waste & mud generated during drilling and completion operations will be hauled to the Kenai Gas Field
G&I facility for disposal / beneficial reuse depending on test results.

9. Mandatory Regulatory Compliance / Notifications
Regulatory Compliance
Ensure that our drilling and completion operations comply with the below AOGCC regulations. If
additional clarity or guidance is required on how to comply with a specific regulation, do not hesitate to
contact the Anchorage Drilling Team.
BOPs shall be tested at (2) week intervals during the drilling. Ensure to provide AOGCC 48 hrs
notice prior to testing BOPs.
The initial test of BOP equipment will be to 250/3000 psi & subsequent tests of the BOP equipment
will be to 250/3000 psi for 5/5 min (annular to 50% rated WP, 2500 psi on the high test for initial
and subsequent tests).Confirm that these test pressures match those specified on the APD.
o The highest reservoir pressure expected is 3278 psi in the Beluga S/T sands (6427' TVD). MASP
is 2635 psi with 0.1psi/ft gas in the wellbore.
o A casing test to 2635 psi is planned after plugging the parent
Rated Working Pressure (RWP) the BOPE and wellhead must meet or exceed: 3000 psi.
If the BOP is used to shut in on the well in a well control situation,ALL BOP components utilized
for well control must be tested prior to the next trip into the wellbore. This pressure test will be
charted same as the 14 day BOP test.
Review all conditions of approval of the PTD on the 10-401 form. Ensure that the conditions of
approval are captured in shift handover notes until they are executed and complied with.
Ensure AOGCC approved drilling permit is posted on the rig floor and in Co Man office.

15. Pressure up drill pipe to 500 psi and pick up to remove the RS packoff bushing from the RS nipple.
Bump up pressure as req’d to maintain 500 psi DP pressure while moving pipe until the pressure drops
rapidly, indicating pack-off is above the sealing area (ensure that 500 psi will be enough to overcome
hydrostatic differential at liner top).
16. Immediately with the loss of pressure and before DP reaches zero, initiate circulation while picking up
to position the bottom of the stinger inside the tieback sleeve. Increase pump rate to wellbore clean up
rate until the sleeve area is thoroughly cleaned.
17. Pick up to the high-rate circulation point above the tieback extension, mark the pipe for reciprocation,
do not re-tag the liner top, and circulate the well clean.

20. If the HRD-E tool still does not release hydraulically, left-hand (counterclockwise) torque will have to
be applied to the tool. This torque acts to shear brass screws. Bleed off pump pressure and ensure that
the tool is in the neutral position. Apply left-hand torque as required to shear screws.
21. NOTE: Some hole conditions may require movement of the drillpipe to “work” the torque down to the
setting tool.
22. After screws have sheared, the top sub and body of the setting tool will turn 1/4 turn. Then proceed
slacking off set-down weight to shear second set of shear screws. The top sub will drop 1-3/4 inches. At
this point, the bottom sub no longer supports the collet fingers. Pick straight up with workstring to
release collet from the profile.
Ensure to report the following on Wellview:
Pre flush type, volume (bbls) & weight (ppg)
Cement slurry type, lead or tail, volume & weight
Pump rate while mixing, bpm, note any shutdown during mixing operations with a duration
Pump rate while displacing, note whether displacement by pump truck or mud pumps, weight & type

21. Anticipated Drilling Hazards
Lost Circulation:
Drill depleted reservoir may cause loss circulation events (as seen in the 2021 program on A-03A and
A-01A)
Maintain sufficient volumes while drill.
Maintain ability to take on FIW during drilling phase
If a LC event occurs pumping cement will be the likely remedy
Ensure 500 lbs of medium/coarse fibrous material, 500 lbs SteelSeal (Angular, dual-composition
carbon-based material), & 500 lbs different sizes of Calcium Carbonate are available on location to mix
LCM pills at moderate product concentrations.
Hole Cleaning:
Maintain rheology w/ viscofier as necessary. Sweep hole w/ 20 bbls flowzan as necessary. Optimize
solids control equipment to maintain density and minimize sand content. Maintain programmed mud
specs.
Coal Drilling:
The following lessons were learned from extensive experience drilling coal seams in Cook Inlet. The
need for good planning and drilling practices is also emphasized as a key component for success.
Keep the drill pipe in tension to prevent a whipping effect which can disturb coal sections.
Use asphalt-type additives to further stabilize coal seams.
Increase fluid density as required to control running coals.
Emphasize good hole cleaning through hydraulics, ROP and system rheology.
Minimize swab and surge pressures
Minimize back reaming through coals when possible
H2S:
H2S is not present in this hole section.
Anticollision:
No close approaches.

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