Subject: 09-35B 2nd perf round (PTD: 224-122)
Hello Mel,
We would like to add additional perforations to 09-35B
Initial perforations were shot on Feb 3, 2025.
Initial POP attempt came in 2/8/2025 however, we have been unsuccessful getting the well to flow consistently
measurable volumes.
Per the word program and log attached, we would like to add additional perfs via service coil extended perforating
under the existing PTD.
Given those initial perf date of 2/3/2025, our due date for the 10-407 lands on 3/5/2025. We will make an eƯort to
shoot this second round by March 5th but would like to ask for a 2 week extension at this time for the 10-407
submittal.

Well History Info
09-35b was successfully sidetracked Jan 2025. Initial perforates were shot post rig and attempted to be
brought online. At most, the well made ~100 bopd with a surprisingly low volume of water. As a result,
additional ADPs are requested and detailed below.

Revision 1
Procedure:
Coiled Tubing Drift and Flag
Notes:
• Remote gas monitoring for H2S and LELs are required for Open Hole Deployment Operations
• Due to the necessary open hole deployment of Extended Perforating jobs, 24-hour crew and WSS
coverage is required.
The well will be killed and monitored before making up the initial perf 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.
1. 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.
2. Pull tie in log from PBTD to liner top
3. Bullhead 1.2x wellbore volume ~225 bbls 1% KCL/SW down tubing. Max tubing pressure 2500 psi.
(This step can be performed any time prior to open-hole deployment of the perf guns. Timing of the
well kill is at the discretion of the WSS.)
a. Wellbore volume to LTP (9400’) = 143 bbls
b. LTP to PBTD = ~17 bbls
4. At surface, prepare for deployment of TCP guns.
5. Confirm well is dead. Bleed any pressure off to return tank. Kill well w/ KWF, 8.4 ppg 1% KCl or 8.5
ppg 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.
*Perform drill by picking up safety joint with TIW valve and space out before MU guns. Review standing
orders 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.
6. 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 perf guns to ensure the well remains killed and there is no excess flow.

a. Note any tubing pressure change in WSR.
8. After perforating, PUH to top of liner or into tubing 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.
9. Pump pipe displacement while POOH. Stop at surface to reconfirm well is dead. Kill well if necessary.
10. Review well control steps and Standing Orders with crew prior to breaking lubricator connection and
commencing breakdown of TCP gun string.
11. Ensure safety joint and TIW valve assembly are on-hand before breaking off lubricator to LD gun BHA.
12. RDMO CTU.
13. Turn well over to Operations POP.
Well Testing- New Well POP
1. MIRU Well Test Unit
a. Work with pad op to determine flowline to use if the tie in is not complete
2. POP well per SLBU program below
3. Once well is on stable production, obtain a 12 hour piggyback well test
a. Retest as needed to confirm pad separator rates

Revision 1
Slow Bean-Up (SLBU) Procedure for Wells that received ~500’+ of new perforations
Notes:
- The objective of this procedure is to outline rough guidelines for making choke & drawdown
changes to extended add-perf (ExtADP) wells to limit the rate of drawdown, which
minimizes shock to the reservoir and minimizes sand-face failure (sand production) and
completion damage. This should be considered general and not rigid rules.
- This procedure should be followed any time an existing or new well receives an Ext ADP
intervention or post drill where more than 500’ of perfs have been added.
- Each well has different flow characteristics and as such may result in varying times to reach
FOC and/or optimal choke setting.
- GL should be shut-off anytime a well is shut-in. This prevents from displacing gas into the
formation and thus can lead to applying a large amount of drawdown over a short time
interval when re-POP’ing that can result in high amounts of sand production.
1. Open the choke to minimum choke position. Start GL at 1 MMSCFD and maintain this
setting for 6 hours after the well is kicked off. Consider adjusting the choke if the WHT
is <50F and/or WHP is >500 psi for a prolonged period (mitigate hydrate formation).
• Expect WHP to initially drop when opening the choke until GL has time to build pressure
and KO well.
• If well is setup with continuous AF / EB / Meth injection at the wellhead, add as
necessary to help reduce slugging until well stabilizes out.
• If well is setup for continuous methanol injection, add methanol into the GL stream as
necessary until well is warm and stable.
• After the well kicks off, adjust gas lift rate at this time to get stable flow. Flow should be
as stable as possible before opening up the choke.
2. After the 6 hour hold period, open choke 10 steps
• Increase GL to target rate at the end of the 6 hour hold period. Adjust GL as necessary
to achieve stable flow and limited slugging. Target 1500 TGLR.
3. Hold at this choke setting for 2 hours
• If the stages are lengthened due to operational constraints that is fine. Bean-up should
take a minimum of 10 hours to get to target.
• After a bottoms up is seen, take a solids sample. If the shakeout sample shows a solid
content >1% contact OE.
o Will likely want to hold at choke setting for an additional bottoms up .
o At the end of the hold period, grab another shakeout to confirm solids production
has reduced to a manageable level before proceeding with any additional
drawdown changes.
• If solids sample <0.2%, open choke up 10 more steps
• If possible, obtain a water salinity every choke adjustment.
4. Repeat the choke opening steps as described above to fully open well to flow. Discuss with
OE if there are any flowing BHP limitations.

Re:09-35B Permit to Drill
Approval is requested for drilling a CTD sidetrack lateral from well 09-35A with the Nabors CDR2
Coiled Tubing Drilling.
Proposed plan for 09-35B Producer:
See 09-35A Sundry request for complete pre-rig details - Prior to drilling activities, screening will be conducted to
drift/caliper for whipstock and MIT. E-line or coil will mill the XN-nipple. E-line will set a 4-1/2"x7" whipstock. Coil
will mill window pre-rig. If unable to set the whipstock or milling the window, for scheduling reasons, the rig will
perform that work.
A coil tubing drilling sidetrack will be drilled with the Nabors CDR2 or CDR3 rig. The rig will move in, test BOPE
and kill the well. If unable to set whipstock pre-rig, the rig will set the 4-1/2"x7" whipstock. A single string 3.80"
window + 10' of formation will be milled. The well will kick off drilling in the Ivishak Zone 4 and lands in Zone 2.
The lateral will continue in Zone 2 to TD. The proposed sidetrack will be completed with a 3-1/2"x3-1/4"x2-7/8”
13Cr solid liner, cemented in place and selectively perforated post rig (will be perforated with rig if unable to post
rig). This completion will isolate and abandon 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:
Reference 09-35A Sundry submitted in concert with this request for full details.
1. Slickline : Dummy WS drift and Caliper
2.E-Line : Set 4-1/2"x7" Whipstock at 9,626’ MD at 150 degrees ROHS
3. Fullbore : MIT-IA and/or MIT-T to 3,000 psi (if needed)
4. Coil : Mill XN nipple (at 9,433' MD) and Window (if window not possible, mill with
rig). Give AOGCC 24hr notice prior to BOPE test. Test BOPE to 3500 psi.
MASP with gas (0.10 psi/ft) to surface is 2,420 psi.
5. Valve Shop : Pre-CTD Tree Work
6. Operations : Remove wellhouse and level pad.
Rig Work: (Estimated to start in January 2025)
1. MIRU and test BOPE 250 psi low and 3,500 psi high (MASP 2,420 psi). Give AOGCC 24hr notice
prior to BOPE test.
2. Mill 3.80” Window (top of window at 9,631' MD pinch point) - only if not done pre rig.
3. Drill build section: 4.25" OH, ~356' (35 deg DLS planned).
4. Drill production lateral: 4.25" OH, ~2,125' (12 deg DLS planned).
5. Run 3-1/2” x 3-1/4” x 2-7/8” 13Cr liner
6. Pump primary cement job: 36.7 bbls, 15.3 ppg Class G, 1.24 (ft

1. Valve Shop : Valve & tree work
2. Coil : CBL, ~1000' of perfs (see attached procedure)
3. Slickline : Set LTP (if necessary), GLRD if necessary
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:

Operation Details:
Reservoir Pressure:
The estimated reservoir pressure is expected to be 3,300 psi at 8,800 TVD. (7.3 ppg equivalent).
Maximum expected surface pressure with gas (0.10 psi/ft) to surface is 2,420 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:
4.25 hole for the entirety of the production hole section.
Liner Program:
3-1/2", 9.3#, 13Cr/Solid: 9,400' MD – 9,610' MD (210' liner)
3-1/4", 6.6#, 13Cr/Solid: 9,610' MD – 10,200' MD (590' liner)
2-7/8", 6.5#, 13Cr/Solid: 10,200' MD – 12,112' MD (1,912' 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.
20 AAC 25.036 (c)(2)(A)(iv): Waiver Request
o Blind/Shear rams will be utilized in place of pipe rams sized for CTD jointed pipe operations as a
worst-case shut-in scenario (in place of 2-3/8”x3-1/2” VBRs for liner runs and 1” / 1-1/4” CS hydril
pipe rams).
o Blind/Shear rams are preferred over pipe rams in CTD jointed pipe operations, because liners and
jointed pipe strings for CTD are only ~500-3500’ long and therefore are not suitable killstrings –
having a circulation point of less than ~3500’ MD. The jointed pipe will also be pipe light and would be
shut in below the flow cross. Thus, circulation would not be possible if shut in.
There is not adequate room to add extra BOP rams for this well (see attached tree height diagram):
o Current Well Tree height is 190.5”.
o CDR2 max tree height, with six ram BOP, to fit over the well is 163”.
o CDR3 max tree height, with six ram BOP, to fit over the well is 172”.
o A six ram BOP stack (to accommodate two extra rams for CTD jointed pipe operations – 2-3/8”x3-1/2”
VBRs for liner runs and 1” / 1-1/4” CS hydril pipe rams), is based off two triples.
Mitigations:
o The well will be full of KWF prior to running liner or jointed pipe operations.
o The BHA will be circulated out of hole prior to laying down BHA for jointed pipe operations.
o The well will be flow checked after laying in KWF, before laying down BHA and before making jointed
pipe.
o In addition, a X-over shall be made up to a 2 3/8" safety joint including a TIW valve for all tubulars ran
in hole.
o Primary shut-in standing orders will be to use a safety joint while running 2-3/8” or 3-1/2”x3-1/4”x2-
7/8” solid or slotted liner, 1” or 1-1/4” CS Hydril jointed pipe, and perf guns.The desire is to keep
the same standing orders for all jointed pipe operations and not change shut in techniques in
the middle of jointed pipe operations or from well to well (run safety joint with pre-installed
TIW valve). When closing on a 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 101°. Inclination at kick off point is 40°.
Magnetic and inclination surveys will be taken every 30 ft. No gyro will be run.
Distance to nearest property line – 13,584 ft
Distance to nearest well within pool – 1,340 ft
Logging:
MWD directional, Gamma Ray and Resistivity will be run through the entire open hole section.
Real time bore pressure to aid in MPD and ECD management.
- Denied for liners, Approved for CS Hydril. mgr
Perforating:
1000' perforated post rig – See attached extended perforating procedure.
2" 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.
Formations: Top of Ivishak is 9,578’ MD in the parent
Anti-Collision Failures:
Anti-Collision Summary – Fails 09-31 (at 9,240’ MD) and 09-31C (at 9,665’ MD) – 09-31D Sidetracked
and abandoned at 3,505’ MD. Financial risk for plugback and sidetrack.
Hazards:
DS 09 is an H2S pad. The last H2S reading on 09-35A: 220 ppm on 05/04/2024.
Max H2S recorded on 09-35A: 450 ppm on 02/05/2008.

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 Ivishak 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 doesn’t 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.
