Remarks:
I traveled to PBU 13-24B to witness P&A operations - wireline tag of cement and a pressure test. The tool string was made up
with 8 ft of 2 5/8" weight bar, jars, long spanges, a centralizer, knuckle joint, and a 3-ft long sample bailer. 225lbs of hanging
weight. They tagged top of cement @ 2518 ft MD inside 4 1/2" tied back liner. The bailer brought back a good sample of firm
cement. Pressure test good.

Max. Expected BHP:3,350 psi @ 8,800’ TVD 7.4 PPGE |
Max. Anticipated Surface Pressure:2,470 psi (Based on 0.1 psi/ft. gas gradient)
Last SI WHP:0 psi (Taken on 1/10/25)
Min ID 3.958” 4-1/2” TBG
Max Angle:52° Deg @ 10,800’ MD
Well History:
PBU 13-24B drilling ops halted after partially drilling the lateral. Throughout the lateral section, there were severe
fluid losses in Zone 3 of the Ivishak, along with BHA tool failures (7) and washouts (2). A collapse of the 9-5/8” CSG
was found at 2651’ when a 6-1/8” drilling BHA became detained while POOH. A restriction and possible casing
holes were logged with a caliper in the 9-5/8” casing at 2,651’. A 4-1/2” killstring was run and cemented at the toe
and LCM was pumped down the IA to heal losses prior to the drilling rig moving off the well. A block squeeze placed
a 200’ MD cement plug in 4-1/2” and 4-1/2”x7” annulus across the confining shale of the Prudhoe Oil Pool to plug
and abandon the reservoir.
Current Well Condition:
x The 9-5/8” x 4-1/2” annulus is filled with diesel, brine, and possibly some LCM pills. The LCM has likely
settled out below our scope interval.
x Slickline tagged TOC in TBG at 9300’ MD, MIT-T passed to 2695 psi. Shut in TBG pressure is 0 psi.
x IA injectivity is 0.55 bpm at 500 psi. Shut in IA pressure is stable at 225 psi.
x MIT-OA passed to 2000 psi on 10/11/2004
x 9-5/8” possible CSG holes and restriction at 2651’
Objective:
The intent of this program is to perform a full P&A of the well per 20 AAC 25.112. We will excavate and cut casings
3’ below original tundra level and install a market plate.
Procedure:
1. Eline
a. Punch 4-1/2” TBG from 2600-2605’ MD
b. Set 4-1/2” NS CMT retainer at 2585’ MD (+/- 5’) avoiding collars. Use the poppit style that we can
pump through with fullbore.
2. Fullbore – IA Surface CMT plug
a. Perform injectivity test down the IA and TBG with DSL. Max pressure is 2000 psi. Send results to OE.
b. Verify circ path with DSL
c. Circ out down TBG with IA returns.

API: 50-029-20739-02-00
ii. 60 bbls hot (160 degF) fresh water + surfactant
iii. 200 bbls (20 bbls excess) of 1% KCL/SW (100-120 degF)
iv. Max pressure 2000 psi
d. Pump Cement and Displacement down TBG with IA returns
i. Pump 166 bbls of Class G CMT (141 bbls + 25 bbls excess)
ii. Displace with 38.4 bbls of DSL
iii. Confirm cement at surface in IA
1. Cement plug in IA will be from TBG punches to surface
2. Cement plug in TBG will be from TBG punches to ~2525’ MD.
IA Surface Cement Properties:
BHST: 35 degF
Required Density: Class G or Arctic Set 14-15.8 ppg
Pumpability Time: minimum 8hrs
Fluid Loss: 20-200 cc/30 min
IA Surface CMT Volumes:
x 4-1/2” TBG from 2525’ to 2605’ = (2605’-2525’) x 0.0152 bpf = 1.2 bbls
x 4-1/2” x 9-5/8” annulus from surface to 2605’ = 2605’ x 0.0535 bpf = 139.4 bbls
x Total cement = 1.2 + 139.4 + (25.4 excess) = 166 bbls
x Displacement in 4-1/2” TBG to 2525’ = 2525’ x 0.0152 bpf = 38.4 bbls
3. Slickline
a. WOC for 3 days
b. AOGCC Witnessed D&T TOC and MIT-T to 2500 psi
c. Drift for E-line
4. E-line
a. Perform 10’ of punches thru TBG, cemented IA, and 9-5/8” CSG to open flowpath for TBG x OA
surface CMT plug. Punch from 2500’ to 2510’ MD.
5. Fullbore – This step is broken out from the cementing step to allow further troubleshooting of Arctic Pack
in OA, if necessary.
a. Verify circ path with DSL
b. Circ out down TBG with OA returns.
i. 5 bbls MEOH
ii. 50 bbls hot DSL (min 120 degF)
iii. 100 bbls hot (160 degF) fresh water + surfactant
iv. 200 bbls (16 bbls excess) of 9.8 ppg brine (80-100 degF)
v. 11 bbls DSL, U-tube for 30 min (If ambient temps are less than 20 degF)
vi. Max pressure 2000 psi

Jack,
13-24B work scope for reservoir abandonment and suspension per the procedure in sundry approval # 324-589
was completed on 1/10/2025.
Within the conditions of approval for sundry # 324-589, a requirement was included to remediate the 9-5/8” casing
leak at 2651’ MD. This additional requirement wasn’t in scope of the work request for reservoir abandonment and
will require additional sundry approval.

13-24B has no future utility due to the 9-5/8” casing restriction and the decision has been made to fully abandon
the well as part of the 2025 P&A program under OTH-16-038. We plan to submit a request for abandonment of the
well in February 2025 with completion of the P&A activity by the end of 2025. Hilcorp is requesting removal of the
requirement: “9-5/8” casing leak to be remediated by January 31, 2025” in Sundry # 324-589 , such that the 10-407
for the completed reservoir abandonment work can be submitted and the 9-5/8” casing leak work can be handled
under the abandonment sundry work.

Mel,
Attached is the CBL for 13-24B to determine cement isolation across the 4-1/2” x 7” Annulus. My interpretation
deems that our objective to place a 200’ MD cement was met.
CBL amplitude shows good cement from 9615’ to 9815’ MD with good cement patches above and below that
interval. This good cement interval is shown in red on the cement detail diagram below.
We will plan to run our approved CIBP at 9870’MD and await final state approval of CBL prior to pumping the next
cement plug.
Let me know if you want to discuss more.

Subject: 13-24B Suspension Sundry 324-589 notification for CBL and requested change in scope (PTD#224-087)
Mel,
Here is an update on current operations and a request for change in procedure for 13-24B.
CTU pumped the first stage of cement on 13-24B after performing the extended tubing punch. No surprises thus
far. We tagged cement just below the top punch.
We are in the process of milling through the cement plug and then will run a the CBL. At this point, we are
anticipating having the CBL sent over for state review around midnight. Having an answer upon 12 hrs of
submission would be greatly appreciated.
When I sent the CBL over, I’ll send a detailed cartoon with placement of cement in annulus in relation to formation
tops and well features to assist with the review process.
Request:
While awaiting state approval on CBL, I would like to set a CIBP at ~9870’ (see detailed picture below) to provide a
hard bottom in TBG in preparation for the plug 2 cement job. Plug 2 fills the 4-1/2” the milled back up with CMT
from 9320’-9850’.
Let me know if you have any questions

Completed steps:
1. Eline set CIBP and punched 30’ of TBG per program
2. Fullbore pumped injectivity test per program. We were able to get 1.5 bpm of injectivity down the TBG @
1300 psi with diesel. We did not see any IA pressure response. The punches are designed to not penetrate
the 7” (only the 4-1/2”). It appears that our flowpath is down the TBG, through the punches, down the 4-
1/2” x 7” annulus to formation beneath the 7” CSG shoe.
Plan forward:
Continue monitoring IA pressure with alarm set to catch excursion event. No excursions or increases in IA
pressure have occurred to date.
Perform CT cement plug scope per program. The 400’ of special ordered charges and carriers have arrived
on the slope. We have this job scheduled for 1-2 weeks out.
Continue with remainder of program once AOGCC approves CBL.

Brief Well Summary:
PBU 13-24B has drilled ~ 4000’ of the planned lateral, with ~540’ Sag River Sand. Throughout the lateral, severe
fluid losses in Zone 3 of the Ivishak were experienced, along with BHA tool failures (7) and washouts (2).
While pulling out of the hole with the most recent failed BHA on 9/18, the 6-1/8” drilling BHA became detained
inside the 9-5/8” (47# BTC ran in 1982) at ~ 2700’, which required jarring up to free. After LD BHA, which had
minimal damage, a cleanout run to push any junk down hole and troubleshoot that depth with a 6-1/8” bit was ran.
The cleanout run stacked out at the same depth, taking 40k# with no progress deeper in the hole, regardless of
circulation or rotation. A drift was performed with slick 4” DP past it the restriction, then slickline was rigged up for
a caliper log. The log shows the ID of 9-5/8” casing at the trouble depth is necked down to ~ 5.4”, along with
sections of high wall loss. Because of this severely damaged 9-5/8”, and any risk of further damage or loss of access
to the reservoir swedging/milling/etc could cause, Hilcorp has elected to plug this reservoir section - allowing for
future RWO and drilling options.
Current Well Condition:
A restriction and possible casing holes were logged with a caliper in the 9-5/8” casing at ~2,700’. This drove the
decision to pursue cement plugs. A 4-1/2” killstring was landed at 13,801’, and cemented in place. Killstring passes
a pressure test and is not available to pump down. The 9-5/8” x 4-1/2” annulus has been on continuous hole fill.
Top of cement behind the 4-1/2” killstring is unknown due to the loss zone. Major losses were being experienced in
the Top Conglomerate/Zone 3. The well intersects the loss zone at approximately 10,963’ on the uphole side of the
sump. On 9/25/24 the rig bullheaded multiple LCM pills down the 9-5/8” x 4-1/2” annulus and the loss rate has
fallen to a minimum allowing fluid level to be kept at surface in the 9-5/8” x 4-1/2” annulus. 4-1/2” punches were
made from 10935’-10947’. Eline CBL from 11140’-5495’ did not find cement. Subsequent pumping ops to establish
circulation were inadequate for a cement plug. 4-1/2” punches were made from 10844’-10856’. Pumping ops were
able to get ~10% returns while pumping 350 bbls seawater down TBG with IA returns. This was deemed sufficient
to move forward with CTU cementing plan. CTU set a retainer at 10,794’ – they were unable to get circulation down
CT with IA returns to surface. 223 bbls of diesel were pumped to ensure IA remained freeze protected.
x The 4-1/2” killstring is loaded with seawater and a diesel freeze protect.
x The 9-5/8” x 4-1/2” annulus is loaded with two LCM pills, seawater and a diesel freeze protect.
x Valve style cement retainer at 10,794’ is closed – now functioning as a plug in the 4-1/2”.
Objective:
13-24B Ops Shutdown
PTD: 224-087
API: 50-029-20739-02-00
Drilling Operations Shutdown. Place a 200+ ft cement plug to isolate the Prudhoe oil pool from the rest of the
wellbore. Plug will be contained within the 7” CSG remedial cement logged interval straddling the top of the HRZ.
IA Volume:
9-5/8” x 4-1/2” down to 5,624’ = 0.0535 bbl/ft x 5,624’ = 301 bbl
7” x 4-1/2” down to 10,503’ = 0.0168 bbl/ft x (10,503’ – 5,624’) = 82 bbl
Total annulus volume to 7” shoe = 383 bbl
Required Cement Properties:
BHST: 175 degF
Required Density: 15.8ppg +/- 0.2 ppg
Pumpability Time: minimum 8hrs
Fluid Loss: 100 – 200 cc/30 min
Procedure:
1. Eline
a. Set 4-1/2” CBP or CIBP at 9,860’ MD.
b. Punch 30’ of 4-1/2” TBG from 9,820’ – 9,850’ MD. Use 6 spf (or more) shot density with big hole
charges designed to penetrate 4-1/2” and not 7”. This is the bottom 30’ of the 400’ proposed block
squeeze interval. We will use this to see if we can establish a flowpath.
2. Fullbore
a. Attempt to get injectivity into TBG punches at 3000 psi with up to 40 bbls of diesel. The objective is
to see if LCM in annulus can be lifted or flushed downhole prior to coil cement job, which could
change our strategy.
b. Monitor IA for pressure response. Keep IA pressure below 500 psi. Authorization to increase to
1000 psi with OE approval.
c. Contact OE with injectivity test and IA pressure response results for further instruction.
Note: If steps 1 and 2 enable us to establish a flowpath to flush annulus fluids into formation or to circulate annulus
fluids out of the IA, then a program revision will be made with more traditional methodology to place a cement plug
(ie. bullhead/downsqueeze or circulating in a balance plug). The following steps to place the cement via a block
squeeze assume minimal or no flowpath is established prior to coil rigging up.
Coiled Tubing Procedure:
3. RIH with logging tools for coil flag and displace TBG down to 4-1/2” CIBP with 9.8 PPG brine.
a. Total volume of 4-1/2” to CIBP: 0.0152 bpf x 9,860’ = 150 bbls.
Notes:
x Remote gas monitoring for H2S and LELs are required for Open Hole Deployment Operations
x Due to the necessary open hole deployment of Extended Perforating jobs, 24-hour crew and WSS coverage
is required.
x The well will be killed and monitored before making up the initial perfs guns. This is generally done during
the drift/logging run. 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.

4. 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.
5. Max tubing pressure 2500 psi.
6. At surface, prepare for deployment of TCP guns.
7. Confirm well is dead. Bleed any pressure off to return tank. Kill well w/ KWF, 9.8 PPG Brine as needed.
Maintain hole fill taking returns to tank until lubricator connection is re-established. Fluids man-watch
must be performed while deploying perf guns to ensure the well remains killed and there is no excess
flow.
8.*Perform drill by picking up safety joint with 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.
a.At the beginning of each job, the crossover/safety joint must be physically MU to the perf guns one
time to confirm the threads are compatible.
9.Break lubricator connection at QTS and begin makeup of TCP guns per schedule below. Constantly monitor
fluid rates pumped in and fluid returns out of the well. Fluids man-watch must be performed while
deploying punches to ensure the well remains killed and there is no excess flow.

10. RIH with punches and tie-in to coil flag correlation. Pickup and punch interval per schedule above.
a. Note any tubing pressure change in WSR.
11. After punching, PUH to top of liner or into tubing tail to ensure debris doesn’t fall in on the guns and stick
the BHA. Confirm well is dead and re-kill if necessary before pulling to surface.
12. Pump pipe displacement while POOH. Stop at surface to reconfirm well is dead. Kill well if necessary.
13. Review well control steps and Standing Orders with crew prior to breaking lubricator connection and
commencing breakdown of TCP gun string.
14. Ensure safety joint and TIW valve assembly are on-hand before breaking off lubricator to LD gun BHA.
15. Swap from open hole deployment to standard PCE system for subsequent runs.
16. Perform injectivity test down coil backside at 3000 psi to assess flowpath. Monitor IA pressure. Max IA
pressure is 500 psi (1000 psi with OE approval). Reports results to OE.
17. RIH slim with cementing nozzle
a. Swap backside over to diesel down to 9000’ while leaving fresh water at the nozzle.
b. Drift through punched interval while attempting to bullhead into punches. Perform weight checks
frequently to ensure LCM is not falling on backside of coil. Planned TOC in 4-1/2” is 9,320’.
c. Place 17 bbls 15.8 PPG cement plug from 9450’ – 9850’ in TxIA.
i. TBG volume = 400’ x 0.0152 bpf = 6.1 bbls
ii. Annular volume = 400’ x .0175 bpf = 7 bbls
iii. Excess volume = 2 bbls underdisplaced + 2 bbls squeeze = 4 bbls
iv. Total volume = 6.1 + 7 + 4 = 17.1 bbls
d. POOH.

Joe,
For preliminary planning, I would like to see the packer be set >= 100’ below the top of the
HRZ and hopefully have 50’+ of continuous cement above the production packer. This is all
in accordance to 25.412 (b) stating:
20 AAC 25.412 Casing, cementing, and tubing of injection wells for enhanced recovery,
disposal, and storage
(a) A well used for injection must be cased and cemented in accordance with 20 AAC
25.030 to prevent leakage into oil, gas, or freshwater sources.
(b) A well used for injection must be equipped with tubing and a packer, or with other
equipment that isolates pressure to the injection interval, unless the commission approves
the operator's use of alternate means to ensure that injection of fluid is limited to the injection
zone. The minimum burst pressure of the tubing must exceed the maximum surface injection
pressure by at least 25 percent. The packer must be placed within 200 feet measured depth
above the top of the perforations, unless the commission approves a different placement
depth as the commission considers appropriate given the thickness and depth of the confining
zone.
I will need Andy and Steve to agree to this here at AOGCC so this is not yet final. I just
wanted to pass along so you could see where I stand on this. AOGCC maybe asking for OH
logs.

Subject: Hilcorp PBU 13-24B (PTD 224-087) Update
Mel –
I wanted to give you an update on PBU 13-24B. We set our second whipstock and drilled
the intermediate redrill to TD of 10511’ MD (Top Sag 10506’ MD) without issue. We then
ran our 7” liner in the hole, circulating at planned depths of ~ 7400 and 9400 with no
issues. We ran in hole on elevators to 10,500’ MD, establishing circulation and returns,
however yesterday evening when we picked up the cement head and began to wash
down to planned shoe depth of 10508’ MD we were unable to get past 10503’, lost
returns and had no pipe movement or rotation.
We pressured up at .5 bpm to a limit of 1500psi (max before potentially functioning the
pusher tool on the SLZXP) and ended up establish an injection rate at 600 psi before
shutting down pumps. Unable to reliably attempt a cement job without risking filling the
line with cement, we left-had released from the liner and pulled out of the hole without
setting the liner hanger or packer.
We then picked up a 7” cement retainer and are currently RIH to set the retainer ~ 30’
above the float collar of the liner to attempt to squeeze the shoe with ~ 30 bbls of
cement.
Our proposed plan forward for a remedial cement job is as follows:
RIH with 7” cement retainer and set ~ 10,353’ MD
Establish Injection or circulation and pump 30bbl 15.8ppg Class G Cement
30bbl max or until pressures up
RU Eline, set bridge plug ~ 9600’
100’ below top of HRZ
Perforate with e-line at ~9561’ MD
50’ MD below top of HRZ (top HRZ 9,511’ MD)
RIH with Cement retainer and set at ~ 9500’
Squeeze cement underneath retainer and into perforations
Cement volume: 70bbl 15.8ppg Class G
~1000’ MD of 9-7/8” x 7” annulus with 30% washout
70 bbl max or until pressures up
Wait on Cement
RU E-Line and Perform CBL across squeeze interval
RIH set liner top packer
Drill out 7” retainers and shoe track
Proceed as per approved PTD
4-1/2” liner hanger will be brought up to 150’ above the remedial perfs and
cemented to isolate the perforations
With 13-24B being proposed as an MI injector, it is imperative that injection fluids are
confined to the Sag River Pool. Hilcorp believes a cement squeeze of the 7” shoe will
provide solid FIT, unstable/collapsed Kingak has shown to prevent circulation up to 600
psi (where injection was established, ~12.3ppg EMW with 600 psi and 11 ppg mud), a
cement plug starting 50’ below the top of the HRZ in the confining zone verified with CBL,
and the 4-1/2” cemented liner top packer being set 150’ above the remedial perforations
is sufficient to demonstrate controlled injection. Out of zone injection will be further
mitigated by lateral sump design with the first injection perforation ~ 2000’ MD away the
7” liner shoe.
Attached is a proposed schematic showing remedial perforations and the 4-1/2”
cemented liner lap.
Please let me know if you approve of this remedial plan or if you have any questions.
Thank you for your time.

Mel –
Thank you for the guidance. Jerry and I will make sure that for our proposed squeeze program we will have perforations and tubing set depths to satisfy those requirements: “the packer be set >= 100’ below the top of the HRZ
and hopefully have 50’+ of continuous cement above the production packer”
During our shoe squeeze yesterday evening, we pumped 41 bbls and we did see lift pressure which was encouraging that our pack off could be higher than anticipated. We are currently RIH with e-line to perform a CBL,
after 1000 psi comp strength is achieved as per UCA chart, to see if there is cement above the shoe. Once we see those results, we will communicate them to you to proceed forward.
Andy – Attached are the LWD logs in MD, the surveys, and the actual formation tops seen in this intermediate hole.
I will be out of office starting this afternoon, Nathan Sperry will be covering for me and Jerry Lau has been involved in the conversations.

We pressured up at .5 bpm to a limit of 1500psi (max before potentially functioning the pusher tool on the SLZXP) and ended up establish an injection rate at 600 psi before shutting down pumps. Unable to reliably
attempt a cement job without risking filling the line with cement, we left-had released from the liner and pulled out of the hole without setting the liner hanger or packer.
We then picked up a 7” cement retainer and are currently RIH to set the retainer ~ 30’ above the float collar of the liner to attempt to squeeze the shoe with ~ 30 bbls of cement.
Our proposed plan forward for a remedial cement job is as follows:
RIH with 7” cement retainer and set ~ 10,353’ MD
Establish Injection or circulation and pump 30bbl 15.8ppg Class G Cement
30bbl max or until pressures up
RU Eline, set bridge plug ~ 9600’
100’ below top of HRZ
Perforate with e-line at ~9561’ MD
50’ MD below top of HRZ (top HRZ 9,511’ MD)
RIH with Cement retainer and set at ~ 9500’
Squeeze cement underneath retainer and into perforations
Cement volume: 70bbl 15.8ppg Class G
~1000’ MD of 9-7/8” x 7” annulus with 30% washout
70 bbl max or until pressures up
Wait on Cement
RU E-Line and Perform CBL across squeeze interval
RIH set liner top packer
Drill out 7” retainers and shoe track
Proceed as per approved PTD
4-1/2” liner hanger will be brought up to 150’ above the remedial perfs and cemented to isolate the perforations
With 13-24B being proposed as an MI injector, it is imperative that injection fluids are confined to the Sag River Pool. Hilcorp believes a cement squeeze of the 7” shoe will provide solid FIT, unstable/collapsed Kingak has
shown to prevent circulation up to 600 psi (where injection was established, ~12.3ppg EMW with 600 psi and 11 ppg mud), a cement plug starting 50’ below the top of the HRZ in the confining zone verified with CBL, and
the 4-1/2” cemented liner top packer being set 150’ above the remedial perforations is sufficient to demonstrate controlled injection. Out of zone injection will be further mitigated by lateral sump design with the first
injection perforation ~ 2000’ MD away the 7” liner shoe.
Attached is a proposed schematic showing remedial perforations and the 4-1/2” cemented liner lap.
Please let me know if you approve of this remedial plan or if you have any questions.
Thank you for your time.

Mel,
Attached is a first look at the Proposed schematic for the remedial cement sundry Joe L is sending your way soon.
The updated packer depth is 120’ feet below THRZ in accordance with 25.412 (b) requirements.
We are assuming that the CBL just ran will not find cement.
If possible, we would appreciate verbal/written approval to move forward with the next steps for eline to set a bridge plug at ~9800’, perforate 5’ per schematic, and set retainer above perforations at ~9700’ while we await sundry
approval.

We are in the process of running the CBL but the initial pass shows no cement. We were able to get down to 10,271’ MD with e-line.
Joe is out-of-the-office now. I’ll work with Joe Lastufka to submit a procedure via sundry here this afternoon.

Mel –
Thank you for the guidance. Jerry and I will make sure that for our proposed squeeze program we will have perforations and tubing set depths to satisfy those requirements: “the packer be set >= 100’ below the top of the HRZ
and hopefully have 50’+ of continuous cement above the production packer”
During our shoe squeeze yesterday evening, we pumped 41 bbls and we did see lift pressure which was encouraging that our pack off could be higher than anticipated. We are currently RIH with e-line to perform a CBL,
after 1000 psi comp strength is achieved as per UCA chart, to see if there is cement above the shoe. Once we see those results, we will communicate them to you to proceed forward.
Andy – Attached are the LWD logs in MD, the surveys, and the actual formation tops seen in this intermediate hole.
I will be out of office starting this afternoon, Nathan Sperry will be covering for me and Jerry Lau has been involved in the conversations.
Thank you for your time and help.

Joe,
For preliminary planning, I would like to see the packer be set >= 100’ below the top of the HRZ and hopefully have 50’+ of continuous cement above the production packer. This is all in accordance to 25.412 (b) stating:
20 AAC 25.412 Casing, cementing, and tubing of injection wells for enhanced recovery, disposal, and storage
(a) A well used for injection must be cased and cemented in accordance with 20 AAC 25.030 to prevent leakage into oil, gas, or freshwater sources.
(b) A well used for injection must be equipped with tubing and a packer, or with other equipment that isolates pressure to the injection interval, unless the commission approves the operator's use of alternate means to ensure
that injection of fluid is limited to the injection zone. The minimum burst pressure of the tubing must exceed the maximum surface injection pressure by at least 25 percent. The packer must be placed within 200 feet measured depth
above the top of the perforations, unless the commission approves a different placement depth as the commission considers appropriate given the thickness and depth of the confining zone.
I will need Andy and Steve to agree to this here at AOGCC so this is not yet final. I just wanted to pass along so you could see where I stand on this. AOGCC maybe asking for OH logs.

Joe,
Hilcorp is approved to set cement retainer and bullhead ~30 bbls of cement.
I want to review confining zones with Chris Wallace, Andy Dewhurst and Steve Davies before shooting holes and squeezing cement above the retainer. Because this is a service well, we will want the production packer below the top
of the confining zones to assure a monitorable annulus, so no injection goes out of zone. We can decide on the perforation holes in the morning.

Brief Well Summary:
PBU 13-24B drilled the intermediate redrill to TD of 10511’ MD (Top Sag 10506’ MD) without issue. We then ran
our 7” liner in the hole, circulating at planned depths of ~ 7400 and 9400 with no issues. We ran in hole on
elevators to 10,500’ MD, establishing circulation and returns, however yesterday evening when we picked up the
cement head and began to wash down to planned shoe depth of 10508’ MD we were unable to get past 10503’,
lost returns and had no pipe movement or rotation.
We pressured up at .5 bpm to a limit of 1500psi (max before potentially functioning the pusher tool on the SLZXP)
and ended up establishing an injection rate at 600 psi before shutting down pumps. Unable to reliably attempt a
cement job without risking filling the line with cement, we left-had released from the liner and pulled out of the
hole without setting the liner hanger or packer.
Objective:
Hilcorp requests approval for a remedial cement job of the 7” liner, including a shoe squeeze and annulus squeeze
of the 7” inside the HRZ to isolate future injection fluids.
13-24B is proposed as an MI injector, it is imperative that injection fluids are confined to the Sag River Pool.
Hilcorp believes a cement squeeze of the 7” shoe will provide solid FIT, unstable/collapsed Kingak has shown to
prevent circulation up to1500 psi (where injection was established at at 600 psi after breakdown, ~12.3ppg EMW
with 600 psi and 11 ppg mud), a cement plug starting 50’ below the top of the HRZ in the confining zone verified
with CBL, and the 4-1/2” cemented liner top packer being set 150’ above the remedial perforations is sufficient to
demonstrate controlled injection. Out of zone injection will be further mitigated by lateral sump design with the
first injection perforation ~ 2000’ MD away the 7” liner shoe.
Plan Forward:
Our proposed plan forward for a remedial cement job is as follows:
RIH with 7” cement retainer and set ~ 10,353’ MD
Establish Injection or circulation and pump 40bbl 15.8ppg Class G Cement
o 30bbl max or until pressures up
Perform CBL to determine of shoe cement squeeze had any lift pressure
o Send CBL to AOGCC
If shoe squeeze is not sufficient:
RU Eline, set bridge plug ~ 9800’
Perforate with e-line at ~9741’ MD
o ~230’ MD below top of HRZ (top HRZ 9,511’ MD) in the confining zone
RIH with Cement retainer and set at ~ 9700’
Squeeze cement underneath retainer and into perforations
o Cement volume: 70bbl 15.8ppg Class G
~1000’ MD of 9-7/8” x 7” annulus with 30% washout
70 bbl max or until pressures up
Wait on Cement

Proceed as per approved PTD
o 4-1/2” liner top packer will be brought up to ~75’ above the remedial perfs and cemented to
isolate the perforations, ~ set depth 9,662’ MD
o 4-1/2” Tubing Packer to be set ~120’ below top HRZ confining zone at ~ 9630’ MD ( Top HRZ:
9,511’ MD)

Casing/Tubing Data (depths are MD):
Plugging Data (depths are MD):
I arrived on location at 18:00 and talked with Hilcorp company man Chris Yearout about the plan forward. I was informed there
was a verbal approval to lay a balanced plug in the wellbore above the HRZ and Sag hydrocarbon zones to effectivly isolate
them from the well bore after a failed 7" liner run. They finished running the drill pipe in the hole to a MD of 9053 ft; a light duty 3-
1/2" cement stringer was still on bottom and 20,000 lbs of weight down on the cement plug. I had them work it a few times to
insure a good solid tag. I felt confident there was indeed good cement at this depth, The cement plug was layed in at a starting
depth of 9,523 ft MD which calculates to 470 ft of cement plug in the open hole section.

Brief Well Summary:
PBU 13-24B intermediate hole section in the top of the Sag at 10,589’ MD on 7/27, and began 7” Liner running
operations on 7/29. Unfortunately, liner was unable to get past 10,250’ MD, ~500’ into the Kingak. Due to the low
pressure of the sag and kingak stability risk, the decision was made to POOH for a cleanout run. While POOH with
the liner, the liner became stuck at a depth of 6,882’ MD. (window depth ~ 6000’)
Fishing operations were conducted, including milling the SLZXP, attempts to pull entire fish, cutting 7” fish at
5900’ and successfully removing ~3800’ of fish, and attempting to free the remaining ~980’ of fish that were
unsuccessful.
With unsuccessful fishing operations and deteriorating hole conditions with HRZ and Kingak that has been open
for over a week, Hilcorp is making the decision to plug this hole section and re-sidetrack the well to the originally
permitted target.
Hilcorp as performed a cleanout run to 9523’ MD (Top HRZ 9503’ MD).
Objective:
Hilcorp requests to plug and isolate this hole section and sidetrack above existing whipstock to complete the well
as originally permitted.

Dear Mr. Myers:
Enclosed is the approved application for the permit to drill the above referenced well.
Per Statute AS 31.05.030(d)(2)(B) and Regulation 20 AAC 25.071, composite curves for all well
logs run must be submitted to the AOGCC within 90 days after completion, suspension, or
abandonment of this well, or within 90 days of acquisition of the data, whichever occurs first.
This permit to drill does not exempt you from obtaining additional permits or an approval required
by law from other governmental agencies and does not authorize conducting drilling operations
until all other required permits and approvals have been issued. In addition, the AOGCC reserves
the right to withdraw the permit in the event it was erroneously issued.
Operations must be conducted in accordance with AS 31.05 and Title 20, Chapter 25 of the Alaska
Administrative Code unless the AOGCC specifically authorizes a variance. Failure to comply
with an applicable provision of AS 31.05, Title 20, Chapter 25 of the Alaska Administrative Code,
or an AOGCC order, or the terms and conditions of this permit may result in the revocation or
suspension of the permit.
Sincerely,
