Re:06-07A Permit to Drill
Approval is requested for drilling a CT sidetrack lateral from well 06-07 with the Nabors CDR3.
Proposed plan for 06-07A Producer:
See 06-07 Sundry request for complete pre-rig details - Prior to drilling activities, Slickline will drift for a
whipstock and run a caliper, E-line will perform a tubing punch just below the packer at ~10341' MD. Service coil
will then lay cement from ~11,003' MD in the 9-5/8" casing and brought up inside the 4-1/2" tubing tail to ~10,341'
MD in preparation for a 2.74" pilot hole and whipstock.
A coil tubing sidetrack will be drilled with the Nabors CDR3 rig. The rig will move in, test BOPE and kill the well.
The rig will mill a 2.74" pilot hole to ~10,800', run a caliper to confirm contact with the 9-5/8" casing, then run and
set the 3-1/4" whipstock. A single string 2.74" window + 10' of formation will be milled. The well will kick off drilling
in the Shublik and drill an S-shaped well through Zones 2, 3, and 4 to TD. The proposed sidetrack will be
completed with a 2-3/8 13Cr solid liner, cemented in place and selectively perforated post rig. This completion
will target isolating and abandoning the parent Ivishak perfs.
The following describes the work planned. A wellbore schematic of the current well and proposed sidetrack is
attached for reference.
Pre-Rig Work: (Estimated to start in May 15, 2024)
Reference 06-07 Sundry submitted in concert with this request for full details.
1. Slickline : Set DGLVs, Drift, Caliper
2. E-Line : TBG Punch
3. Coil : Lay in CMT for pilot hole
4. Valve Shop : Pre-CTD Tree Work
5. Operations : Remove wellhouse and level pad.
Rig Work: (Estimated to start in September 3, 2024)
1. MIRU and test BOPE 250 psi low and 3,500 psi high (MASP 2,387 psi).
2. Mill 2.74" pilot hole to ~10,800' MD and Caliper.
3. Set 3-1/4" whipstock at ~10,722' MD and mill 2.74 Window.
4. Drill production lateral: 3.25" OH, ~2104' (12 deg DLS planned).
5. Run 2-3/8 13Cr liner to TD, release off liner and POOH.
6. RIH and sting into ORCA valve. Pump primary cement job: 18 bbls, 15.3 ppg Class G, TOC at TOL*.
7. Freeze protect well to a min 2,200' TVD.
8. Close in tree, RDMO.
* Approved alternate plug placement per 20 AAC 25.112(i)
Post Rig Work:
1. Valve Shop : Valve & tree work
2. Slickline : Set LTP* (if necessary). Set live GLVs.
3. Service Coil : Post rig perforate (~30) and RPM.
This completionp , p
will target isolating and abandoning the parent Ivishak perfs.
Sundry 324-266
PTD 224-043
Managed Pressure Drilling:
Managed pressure drilling techniques will be employed on this well. The intent is to provide constant bottom hole
pressure by using minimum 8.4 ppg drilling fluid in combination with annular friction losses and applied surface
pressure. Constant BHP will be utilized to reduce pressure fluctuations to help with hole stability. Applying
annular friction and choke pressure also allow use of lighter drilling fluid and minimizes fluid losses and/or
fracturing at the end of the long well bores. A MPD choke for regulating surface pressure and is independent of
the WC choke.
Deployment of the BHA under trapped wellhead pressure will be necessary. Pressure deployment of the BHA will
be accomplished utilizing 3 (big hole) & 2-3/8 (slim hole) pipe/slip rams (see attached BOP configurations). The
annular preventer will act as a secondary containment during deployment and not as a stripper.
Operating parameters and fluid densities will be adjusted based on real-time bottom hole pressure measurements
while drilling and shale behavior. The following scenario is expected:
MPD Pressure at the Planned Window (10722' MD -8,609' TVD)
Pumps On Pumps O
A Target BHP at Window (ppg)4,387 psi 4,387 psi

B+C Mud + ECD Combined 4,815 psi 3,850 psi
(no choke pressure)
A-(B+C)Choke Pressure Required to Maintain 0 psi 537 psi
Target BHP at window and deeper
Operation Details:
Reservoir Pressure:
The estimated reservoir pressure is expected to be 3,267 psi at 8,800 TVD. (7.1 ppg equivalent).
Maximum expected surface pressure with gas (0.10 psi/ft) to surface is 2,387 psi (from estimated
reservoir pressure).
Mud Program:
Drilling: Minimum MW of 8.4 ppg KCL with viscosifier for drilling. Managed pressure used to maintain
constant BHP.
Disposal:
All Class l & II non-hazardous and RCRA-exempt drilling and completion fluids will go to GNI at DS 4.
Fluids >1% hydrocarbons or flammables must go to GNI.
Fluids >15% solids by volume must go to GNI.
Fluids with solids that will not pass through 1/4 screen must go to GNI.
Fluids with PH >11 must go to GNI.
Hole Size:
3.25" (2.74" pass) hole for the entirety of the production hole section.
Liner Program:
2-3/8", 4.6#, 13Cr/Solid: 10,045' MD 12,826' MD (2,781' liner)
The primary barrier for this operation: Kill Weight Fluid to provide overbalance as necessary.
A X-over shall be made up to a safety joint including a TIW valve for all tubulars ran in hole.
Well Control:
BOP diagram is attached. MPD and pressure deployment is planned.
Pipe rams, blind rams and the CT pack off will be pressure tested to 250 psi and to 3,500 psi.
The annular preventer will be tested to 250 psi and 2,500 psi.
1.5 wellbore volumes of KWF will be on location at all times during drilling operations.
A X-over shall be made up to a 2" safety joint including a TIW valve for all tubulars ran in hole.
2" safety joint will be utilized while running solid or slotted liner. The desire is to keep the same standing
orders for the entire liner run and not change shut in techniques from well to well (run safety joint with pre-
installed TIW valve). When closing on a 2" safety joint, 2 sets of pipe/slip rams will be available, above
and below the flow cross providing better well control option.
Directional:
Directional plan attached. Maximum planned hole angle is 108°. Inclination at kick off point is 36°.
Magnetic and inclination surveys will be taken every 30 ft. No gyro will be run.
Distance to nearest property line ~22,000'
Distance to nearest well within pool 570 ft
Logging:
MWD directional and Gamma Ray will be run through the entire open hole section.
Real time bore pressure to aid in MPD and ECD management.
Perforating:
~30' perforated post rig (see attached post rig perf procedure).
1.56" Perf Guns at 6 spf
If post rig extended perforating with service coil is not an option, the well will be perforated with the rig or
post rig under this PTD.
The well will be perforated between the CTD whipstock and TD of the newly drilled CTD well, completely
in the Ivishak pool.
Anti-Collision Failures:
All wells pass Hilcorp's anti-collision risk rules
Hazards:
06 is an H2S pad. H2S reading on 06-07: 27 ppm on 09/22/2019.

Post-Rig Service Coil Perforating Procedure:
Coiled Tubing
Notes:
Due to the necessary open hole deployment of Extended Perforating jobs, 24-hour crew and WSS
coverage is required.
Note: The well will be killed and monitored before making up the initial perfs guns. This will provide
guidance as to whether the well will be killed by bullheading or circulating bottoms up throughout the
job. If pressure is seen immediately after perforating, it will either be killed by bullheading while POOH
or circulating bottoms up through the same port that opened to shear the firing head.
Coil Tubing
1. MIRU Coiled Tubing Unit and spot ancillary equipment.
2. MU nozzle drift BHA (include SCMT and/or RPM log as needed).
3. RIH to PBTD.
a. Displace well with weighted brine while RIH (minimum 8.4 ppg to be overbalanced).
4. POOH (and RPM log if needed) and lay down BHA.
5. After MU MHA and pull testing the CTC, tag-up on the CT stripper to ensure BHA cannot pull through
the brass upon POOH with guns.
6. There will be no perforations to bullhead kill the well. Well will already be loaded w/ weighted brine or KCl
per previous steps. Re-load well at WSS discretion.
7. At surface, prepare for deployment of TCP guns.
8.Confirm well is dead. Bleed any pressure off to return tank. Kill well w/ KWF, weighted brine as needed
(minimum 8.4 ppg). Maintain continuous hole fill taking returns to tank until lubricator connection is
reestablished. Fluids man-watch must be performed while deploying perf guns to ensure the well
remains killed and there is no excess flow.
9.Pickup safety joint and TIW valve and space out before MU guns.Review well control steps with crew
prior to breaking lubricator connection and commencing makeup of TCP gun string. Once the safety joint
and TIW valve have been spaced out, keep the safety joint/TIW valve readily accessible near the working
platform for quick deployment if necessary.
10. Break lubricator connection at QTS and begin makeup of TCP guns and blanks per schedule below.Max
BHA length per PTD is 500ft. Fluids man-watch must be performed while deploying perf guns to ensure
the well remains killed and there is no excess flow.
a. Perforation details
i.Perf Interval:The well will be perforated between the CTD whipstock and TD of the
newly drilled CTD well, completely in the Kuparuk pool.
ii.Perf Length:500
iii.Gun Length:500
iv.Weight of Guns (lbs):2300lbs (4.6ppf)
11. MU lubricator and RIH with perf gun and tie-in to coil flag correlation. Pickup and perforate perforation
intervals (TBD). POOH.
a. Note any tubing pressure change in WSR.
12. After perforating, PUH to top of liner or into tubing tail to ensure debris doesnt fall in on the guns and
stick the BHA.Confirm well is dead and re-kill if necessary before pulling to surface.
13. Pump pipe displacement while POOH.Stop at surface to reconfirm well dead and hole full.
14. Review well control steps with crew prior to breaking lubricator connection and commencing breakdown of
TCP gun string. Standing orders flow chart included with this sundry request. Ensure safety joint and TIW
valve assembly are on-hand before breaking off lubricator to LD gun BHA.
15. Freeze protect well to 2,000 TVD.

Ryan,
Im reviewing Hilcorps applica on to drill PBU 06 07A. In the logging program, I no ce that only MWD direc onal, PWD,
and gamma ray tools are speci ed. Doesnt Hilcorp plan to run resis vity tools across the reservoir interval? If not, how
can Hilcorp iden fy and evaluate the reservoir?
Thanks and Be Well,
Steve Davies
