Date:Thursday, March 20, 2025 6:50:23 PM
Mr. Regg,
I reviewed the data from the instrumented choke setting, injection temperature, injection rate,
injection pressure transmitter on the well slot flowline and W pad produced water header
pressure on 02/08/25.
In my opinion, there is no explanation in this data for the pressure falloff observed on the tree
cap pump truck transmitter recording tubing pressure during the MIT-IA on W-01 conducted
between 09:00 and 10:00. The choke was static for weeks before the test. The injection rate /
temperature was stable throughout the day. The well slot pressure transmitter recorded 1281
psi at the start of the test and increased to only 1283 psi by the end of the test. The produced
water header pressure for the pad was flat.
There is no record of pigging on the pad for the two weeks prior to the test in the operator
notes. The only explanation would be some kind of gauge malfunction, local blockage to the
needle valve on the tree cap or pressure fall off between surface and the perfs during the test.
Please let me know if you have any other questions or requests.

Joe –
After reviewing the PTD package for W-01B, please submit a revised program addressing
the following:
Include schematic of the current condition of the well upon arrival.
Included in section 6
Is there arctic pack? If so, what is the plan circulate it out/ handle it?
Records show no arctic pack in the OA, see section 10.7
What is your contingency if the casing doesn’t pull free?
See section 10.12
Final Schematic needs to be accurate – include sacrificial liner on schematic and
accurate cement tops
Updated and included in section 6
Step 16.35 – States cement to 9-5/8” casing shoe. Diagram shows cement to liner
top. Which is correct? Do you want cement up to liner top for this injection well.
Ensure displacement volumes match.
Cement is planned to 9-5/8” shoe with 30% excess. Schematic updated to match.
Step 16.36 – conflict in displacement volume for liner if liner running tool is at 4-
1/2” x 7” XO
Corrected. See section 17.24 (note, numbering has been updated in attached
program)
Step 16.36 – incorrect DP displacement volume
Corrected. See section 17.24 (note, numbering has been updated in attached
program)
Step 16.36 – total disp volume incorrect
Corrected. See section 17.24 (note, numbering has been updated in attached
program)
Step 18.13 – MITIA needs be witnessed since injector (25.412.e)
Included in section 18.13

Drilling Procedure
7.0 Drilling / Completion Summary
PBU W-01B is a sidetrack injector planned to be drilled in the Schrader Bluff OBd sands. W-01B is part of a
multi-well program targeting the Schrader Bluff sand on PBU W-pad
The parent bore, W-01A, is a shut-in vertical injection well. The Ivishak and Schrader Bluff reservoirs will
be abandoned prior to the rig’s arrival on the well, operations covered on a separate sundry.
The directional plan is 12-1/4” intermediate hole and 9-5/8” casing string set into the top of the Schrader
Bluff OBd sand. An 8-1/2” lateral section will be drilled which includes an appraisal tail that will extend
across an east-west fault to help determine future development opportunities. The tail will be drilled outside
of the participating area boundary and will be abandoned via a cemented open hole P&A kit prior to running
the lower completion. An injection liner will be run and cemented in the remaining open hole section,
followed by 4-1/2” tubing. The well will not be pre-produced
The Innovation Rig will be used to drill and complete the wellbore.
Drilling operations are expected to commence approximately December 10, 2024, pending rig schedule.
All cuttings & mud generated during drilling operations will be hauled to one of two locations:
Primary: Prudhoe G&I on Pad 4
Secondary: the Milne Point “B” pad G&I facility
General sequence of operations:
1. MIRU Innovation Rig to well site
2. N/U & Test 13-5/8” BOPE
3. Pull 4-1/2” Tubing, cut & pull 9-5/8” casing
4. Set 13-3/8” whipstock, mill 12-1/4” window
5. Drill 12-1/4” hole to TD
6. Run and cement 9-5/8” casing
7. Drill 8-1/2” lateral to well TD
8. Run and cement 7” x 4-1/2” liner
9. Run Upper Completion
10. N/D BOP, N/U Tree, RDMO

Drilling Procedure
8.0 Mandatory Regulatory Compliance / Notifications
Regulatory Compliance
Ensure that our drilling and completion operations comply with the all applicable AOGCC regulations,
specific regulations are listed below. If additional clarity or guidance is required on how to comply with
a specific regulation, do not hesitate to contact the Anchorage Drilling Team.
x BOPs shall be tested at (2) week intervals during the drilling and completion of PBU W-01B.
Ensure to provide AOGCC 24 hrs notice prior to testing BOPs.
x The initial test of BOP equipment will be to 250/3,000 psi & subsequent tests of the BOP equipment
will be to 250/3,000 psi for 5/5 min (annular to 50% rated WP, 2,500 psi on the high test for initial
and subsequent tests).Confirm that these test pressures match those specified on the APD.
x If the BOP is used to shut in on the well in a well control situation or control fluid flow from the
well bore, AOGCC is to be notified and we must test all BOP components utilized for well control
prior to the next trip into the wellbore. This pressure test will be charted same as the 14 day BOP
test.
x All AOGCC regulations within 20 AAC 25.033 “Primary well control for drilling: drilling fluid program
and drilling fluid system”.
x All AOGCC regulations within 20 AAC 25.035 “Secondary well control for primary drilling and
completion: blowout prevention equipment and diverter requirements”.
x Ensure AOGCC approved drilling permit is posted on the rig floor and in Co Man office.
x Casing pressure test criteria in 20 AAC 25.030 (e) Casing and Cementing,“A casing pressure test
must be performed if BOPE is to be installed on a casing. The casing must be tested to hold a
minimum surface pressure equal to 50 percent of the casing internal yield pressure. The test
pressure must show stabilizing pressure and may not decline more than 10 percent within 30
minutes. The results of this test and any subsequent tests of the casing must be recorded as required
by 20 AAC 25.070(1)”.
Page 12
Prudhoe Bay West
W-01B SB Injector
Drilling Procedure
AOGCC Regulation Variance Requests:
Hilcorp would like to request a variance from 20 AAC 25.412.(b)which states:
“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.”
In order to effectively produce this fault block, the current wellplan has the intermediate casing shoe landing at
the OBd production interval at ~86 degrees inclination. In order to make the ball and rod we land to set the
production packer slickline accessible, the X nipple in the tubing tail must be landed at less than 70 degrees
inclination. The MD we currently have planned for 70 degrees is at ~7750’ MD. The X-nipple below the
production packer will be set at ~7650’ MD and the production packer will be ~50’ MD above the X nipple which
puts it at ~7600’ MD / ~4987’ TVD. The intermediate casing shoe is planned at ~8575’ MD / ~5184’ TVD which
means the planned packer depth is ~975’ MD away. From a TVD standpoint, the production tubing packer is
~197’ TVD from the intermediate casing shoe. With the intermediate casing set in the Schrader Bluff sand, and
the injection packer set inside the intermediate casing, injection fluids will be confined to the Schrader bluff
sands.
Hilcorp would like to request a variance from AIO 25A Rule #4 which states:
“b. Within three months of start of injection in a new or converted injector, a step rate test and surveillance log
must be run for detection of fluids moving out of the approved injection stratum.”
The Polaris pool is unique among nearby Schraeder Bluff oil pools in its requirement to perform step-rate tests
and surveillance logs on all new or converted injectors to justify the maximum injection pressures for a given
well. The original justification for this change that was shared with the Commission in November 2003 were
step-rate tests on W-212 and S-215 which indicated injection pressures up to 0.8 psi/ft caused no detectable
migration of fluids outside of approved strata.
To date, all step-rate tests performed on injectors in the Polaris oil pool have indicated that the established
injection gradient of 0.8 psi/ft does not cause fluids to migrate out of zone. For W-01B, Hilcorp is requesting that
0.8 psi/ft be established as the injection limit for this well without conducting the step-rate test and surveillance
log listed in AIO 25A Rule #4.

Drilling Procedure
12.0 Drill 12-1/4” Hole Section
12.1 P/U 12-1/4” motor drilling assembly:
x Ensure BHA components have been inspected previously.
x Drift and caliper all components before M/U. Visually verify no debris inside components
that cannot be drifted.
x Ensure TF offset is measured accurately and entered correctly into the MWD software.
x Have DD run hydraulics calculations on site to ensure optimum nozzle sizing.
x Drill string will be 5” 19.5# S-135.
x Run a solid float in the hole section.
12.2 RIH with 12-1/4” BHA, to top of whipstock. Shallow test MWD at the first fill up point
12.3 Orient directional motor same as whipstock orientation and slide through window with no
pumps or rotary
x Confirm set orientation of whipstock, and have BHA match
12.4 Displace wellbore to 9.4 ppg LSND
x 9.4 ppg due to hydrates, free gas and potential for Cretaceous over pressure (although none
has been see at W pad, be aware from 4500’ TVD and deeper)
12.5 Drill 12-1/4” hole section to section TD, in the Schrader OBd sand. Confirm this setting depth
with the Geologist and Drilling Engineer while drilling the well.
x Efforts should be made to minimize dog legs in the intermediate hole. Keep DLS < 6 deg /
100.
x Hold a safety meeting with rig crews to discuss:
x Well control procedures and rig evacuation
x Flow rates, hole cleaning, mud cooling, etc.
x Pump sweeps and maintain mud rheology to ensure effective hole cleaning.
x Keep mud as cool as possible to keep from over melting hydrates
x Pump at 400-600 gpm. Monitor shakers closely to ensure shaker screens and return lines can
handle the flow rate.
x Ensure to not out drill hole cleaning capacity, perform clean up cycles or reduce ROP if
packoffs, increase in pump pressure or changes in hookload are seen
x Slow in/out of slips and while tripping to keep swab and surge pressures low
x Ensure shakers are functioning properly. Check for holes in screens on connections.
x Have the flowline jets hooked up and be ready to jet the flowline at the first sign of pea
gravel, clay balling or packing off.Wood has been observed across shakers during the
interval TVD.
x Gas hydrates are have been seen on W pad. In PBW they have been encountered typically
around 1660’ TVD (Base of Perm) to 3400’ TVD (Top Ugnu) and below. Be prepared for
hydrates:
x Keep mud temperature as cool as possible, Target 60-70*F.
Page 22
Prudhoe Bay West
W-01B SB Injector
Drilling Procedure
x Dump and dilute as necessary to maintain temp, utilize cold water on the rig as well as
cold pre-made mud on trucks ready.
x Drill through hydrate sands and quickly as possible, do not backream.
x Gas hydrates can be identified by the gas detector and a decrease in MW or ECD
x Monitor returns for hydrates, checking pressurized & non-pressurized scales
x Do not stop to circulate out gas hydrates – this will only exacerbate the problem by
washing out additional permafrost. Attempt to control drill (150 fph MAX) through the
zone completely and efficiently to mitigate the hydrate issue. Flowrates can also be
reduced to prevent mud from belching over the bell nipple.
x Gas hydrates are not a gas sand, once a hydrate is disturbed the gas will come out of the
well. MW will not control gas hydrates, but will affect how gas breaks out at surface.
x Intermediate Hole AC, CF <1.0 :
x There are no wells with a CF less than 1.0
12.6 12-1/4” hole mud program summary:
x Density:Weighting material to be used for the hole section will be barite. Additional
barite or spike fluid will be on location to weight up the active system (1) ppg above
highest anticipated MW. MW for free gas and hydrates based upon offset wells
Depth Interval MW (ppg)
Window - TD 9.4+ (For Hydrates/Free Gas based on offset
wells and cretaceous injection mitigation)
x PVT System:PVT will be used throughout the drilling and completion phase. Remote
monitoring stations will be available at the driller’s console, Co Man office, Toolpusher
office, and mud loggers office.
x Rheology:Aquagel and Barazan D+ should be used to maintain rheology. Maintain a
minimum 25 YP at all times while drilling. Be prepared to increase the YP if hole
cleaning becomes an issue.
x Fluid Loss:DEXTRID and/or PAC L should be used for filtrate control. Background
LCM (10 ppb total) BARACARBs/BAROFIBRE/STEELSEALs can be used in the
system while drilling the interval to prevent losses and strengthen the wellbore.
x Wellbore and mud stability:Additions of CON DET PRE-MIX/DRIL N SLIDE are
recommended to reduce the incidence of bit balling and shaker blinding when penetrating
the high-clay content sections of the Sagavanirktok and the heavy oil sections of the
UGNU 4A. Maintain the pH in the 8.5 – 9.0 range with caustic soda. Daily additions of
ALDACIDE G / X-CIDE 207 MUST be made to control bacterial action.
x Casing Running:Reduce system YP with DESCO as required for running casing as
allowed (do not jeopardize hole conditions). Run casing carefully to minimize surge and
swab pressures. Reduce the system rheology once the casing is landed to a YP < 20
(check with the cementers to see what YP value they have targeted).

Cement Slurry Design (Single Stage Cement Job):
14.9 Attempt to reciprocate casing during cement pumping if hole conditions allow. Watch
reciprocation PU and SO weights, if the hole gets “sticky”, cease pipe reciprocation and continue
with the cement job.
14.10 After pumping cement, drop top plug (Shutoff plug) and displace cement with mud out of mud
pits
x Ensure volumes pumped and volumes returned are documented and constant communication
between mud pits, HEC Rep and HES Cementers during the entire job.

accurate using 0.0625 bps (5” liners) for the Quattro pump output.
14.12 Displacement calculation:
= (8,575’-120’) x .0758 bpf =
= 641 bbls
14.13 Monitor returns closely while displacing cement. Adjust pump rate if losses are seen at any
point during the job. Be prepared to pump out fluid from cellar. Have black water available to
contaminate any cement seen at surface.
14.14 Land top plug and pressure up to 500 psi over bump pressure. Bleed pressure and check floats.

15.9 8-1/2” hole section mud program summary:
x Density:Weighting material to be used for the hole section will be calcium carbonate.
Additional calcium carbonate will be on location to weight up the active system (1) ppg
above highest anticipated MW.
x Solids Concentration:It is imperative that the solids concentration be kept low while
drilling the production hole section. Keep the shaker screen size optimized and fluid
running to near the end of the shakers. It is okay if the shakers run slightly wet to ensure
we are running the finest screens possible.
x Rheology:Keep viscosifier additions to an absolute minimum (N-VIS). Data suggests
excessive viscosifier concentrations can decrease return permeability. Do not pump high
vis sweeps, instead use tandem sweeps. Ensure 6 rpm is > 8.5 (hole diameter) for
sufficient hole cleaning
x Run the centrifuge continuously while drilling the production hole, this will help with
solids removal.
x Dump and dilute as necessary to keep drilled solids to an absolute minimum.
x MD Totco PVT will be used throughout the drilling and completion phase. Remote
monitoring stations will be available at the driller’s console, Co Man office, &
Toolpusher office.

15.12 Displace wellbore to 9.2 ppg Baradrill-N drilling fluid
x Density may change based upon TD of prior hole section
15.13 Begin drilling 8-1/2” hole section, on-bottom staging technique:
x Tag bottom and begin drilling with 100 - 120 rpms at bit. Allow WOB to stabilize at 5-8K.
x Slowly begin bringing up rpms, monitoring stick slip and BHA vibrations
x If BHA begins to show excessive vibrations / whirl / stick slip, it may be necessary to PU
off bottom and restart on bottom staging technique. If stick slip continues, consider adding
0.5% lubes
15.15 Drill 8-1/2” hole section to section TD per Geologist and Drilling Engineer.
x Flow Rate: 350-550 GPM, target min. AV’s 200 ft/min, 385 GPM
x RPM: 120+
x Ensure shaker screens are set up to handle this flowrate. Ensure shakers are running slightly
wet to maximize solids removal efficiency. Check for holes in screens on every connection.
x Keep pipe movement with pumps off to slow speeds, to keep surge and swab pressures low
x Take MWD surveys every stand, can be taken more frequently if deemed necessary, ex:
concretion deflection
x Monitor Torque and Drag with pumps on every 5 stands
x Monitor ECD, pump pressure & hookload trends for hole cleaning indication
x Good drilling and tripping practices are vital for avoidance of differential sticking. Make
every effort to keep the drill string moving whenever possible and avoid stopping with the
BHA across the sand for any extended period of time.
x Use ADR to stay in section. Reservoir plan is to stay in OBd sand.
x Limit maximum instantaneous ROP to < 250 FPH. The sands will drill faster than this, but
when concretions are hit when drilling this fast, cutter damage can occur.
x Target ROP is as fast as we can clean the hole without having to backream connections
x Schrader Bluff OBd Concretions: 4-6% Historically
x MPD will be utilized to monitor pressure build up on connections.
x 8-1/2” Lateral A/C, CF < 1.0:
x There are no wells with a CF < 1.0
15.16 Reference:Halliburton has a procedure for Schrader OH sidetracks based on lessons
learned and best practices. Ensure the DD is referencing their procedure.
x Patience is key! Getting kicked off too quickly might have been the cause of failed liner
runs on past wells.
x If a known fault is coming up, put a slight “kick-off ramp” in wellbore ahead of the fault so
we have a nice place to low side.
x Attempt to lowside in a fast drilling interval where the wellbore is headed up.

Drilling Procedure
x Orient TF to low side and dig a trough with high flowrates for the first 30 feet, working
string back and forth. Trough for approximately 30 minutes.
x Time drill at 4 to 6 feet per hour with high flow rates. Gradually increase ROP as the
openhole sidetrack is achieved.
15.17 At TD, CBU at least 4 times at 200 ft/min AV (385+ GPM) and rotation (120+ RPM). Pump
tandem sweeps if needed
x Monitor BU for increase in cuttings, cuttings in laterals come back in waves and not a
consistent stream, circulate more if necessary
x If seepage losses are seen while drilling, consider reducing MW at TD

23.0 Anticipated Drilling Hazards
12-1/4” Hole Section:
Lost Circulation
Ensure adequate amounts of LCM are available. Monitor fluid volumes to detect any early signs of lost
circulation. For minor seepage losses, consider adding small amounts of calcium carbonate.
Gas Hydrates/Free Gas
Gas hydrates have been seen on PBU W Pad. Be prepared for them. They have been reported between
1800’ and 3140’ TVD across Prudhoe. MW has been chosen based upon successful trouble free
penetrations of offset wells.
x Be prepared for gas hydrates
o Keep mud temperature as cool as possible, Target 60-70*F
o Dump and dilute as necessary to maintain temp, utilize cold water on the rig as well as
cold premade mud on trucks ready
o Drill through hydrate sands and quickly as possible, do not backream.
Remember that hydrate gas behaves differently from a gas sand. Additional fluid density will not
prevent influx of gas hydrates, but can help control the breakout at surface. Once a gas hydrate has been
disturbed the gas will come out of the hole. Drill through the hydrate section as quickly as possible
while minimizing gas belching. Minimize circulation time while drilling through the hydrate zone.
Excessive circulation will accelerate formation thawing which can increase the amount of hydrates
released into the wellbore. Keep the mud circulation temperature as cold as possible. Weigh mud with
both a pressurized and non-pressurized mud scale. The non-pressurized scale will reflect the actual mud
cut weight. Isolate/dump contaminated fluid to remove hydrates from the system.
Cretaceous Over Pressure:
W-Pad does not have a history of over-pressure in the cretaceous interval (4500-5300’ TVD). However,
as a precaution ensure MW is above 9.0. Be prepared while drilling this interval.
Hole Cleaning:
Maintain rheology of mud system. Sweep hole with high viscosity sweeps as necessary. Optimize
solids control equipment to maintain density, sand content, and reduce the waste stream. Monitor
ECD’s to determine if additional circulation time is necessary. In a highly deviated wellbore, pipe
rotation is critical for effective hole cleaning. Rotate at maximum RPM’s when CBU, and keep pipe
moving to avoid washing out a particular section of the hole. Ensure to clean the hole with rotation after
slide intervals. Do not out drill our ability to clean the hole.
Anti-Collison:
There are no known wells with a clearance factory <1.0. Take directional surveys every stand, take
additional surveys if necessary. Continuously monitor proximity to offset wellbores and record any
close approaches on AM report.
Well Specific A/C:
x No Wells with CF < 1.0
Page 54
Prudhoe Bay West
W-01B SB Injector
Drilling Procedure
Wellbore stability (Permafrost, running sands and gravel
Washouts in the permafrost can be severe if the string is left circulating across it for extended periods of
time. Keep mud as cool as possible by taking on cold water and diluting often. High TOH and RIH
speeds can aggravate fragile shale/coal formations due to the pressure variations between surge and
swab. Bring the pumps on slowly after connections. Maintain mud parameters and increase MW to
combat running sands and gravel formations. Stuck pipe, wood chunks over shakers and other hole
stability issues are specific to W pad. Be prepared and review Pad Data Sheet. Bad see pad data sheet
H2S:
Treat every hole section as though it has the potential for H2S. PBU W-Pad has a history of H2S on
wells in all reservoirs. Below are the most recent H2S values of monitored wells in the Shrader / Orion
Pool.
1. The AOGCC will be notified within 24 hours if H2S is encountered in excess of 20 ppm during
drilling operations.
2. The rig will have fully functioning automatic H2S detection equipment meeting the requirements
of 20 AAC 25.066.
3. In the event H2S is detected, wellwork will be suspended and personnel evacuated until a
detailed mitigation procedure can be developed.
Page 55
Prudhoe Bay West
W-01B SB Injector
Drilling Procedure
8-1/2” Hole Section:
Hole Cleaning:
Maintain rheology of mud system. Sweep hole with low-vis water sweeps. Ensure shakers are set up
with appropriate screens to maximize solids removal efficiency. Run centrifuge continuously. Monitor
ECDs to determine if additional circulation time is necessary. In a highly deviated wellbore, pipe
rotation is critical for effective hole cleaning. Rotate at maximum RPMs when CBU, and keep pipe
moving to avoid washing out a particular section of the wellbore. Ensure to clean the hole with rotation
after slide intervals. Do not out drill our ability to clean the hole. Maintain circulation rate of > 300
gpm
Lost Circulation:
Ensure adequate amounts of LCM are available. Monitor fluid volumes to detect any early signs of lost
circulation. For minor seepage losses, consider adding small amounts of calcium carbonate.
Faulting:
Crossing faults, known or unknown, can result in drilling into unstable formations that may impact
future drilling and liner runs. Talk with Geologist to ensure all known faults are identified and prepared
for accordingly.
H2S:
Treat every hole section as though it has the potential for H2S. PBU W-Pad has a history of H2S on
wells in all reservoirs. Below are the most recent H2S values of monitored wells in the Shrader / Orion
Pool.
1. The AOGCC will be notified within 24 hours if H2S is encountered in excess of 20 ppm during
drilling operations.
2. The rig will have fully functioning automatic H2S detection equipment meeting the requirements

Abnormal Pressures and Temperatures:
Reservoir pressures are expected to be normal. Utilize MPD to mitigate any abnormal pressure seen.

Take directional surveys every stand, take additional surveys if necessary. Continuously monitor
drilling parameters for signs of magnetic interference with another well. Reference A/C report in
directional plan.

25.0 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 with the recent casing test already shown, plot the fluid pumped (volume or strokes) vs.
drill pipe pressure until appropriate surface pressure is achieved for FIT at shoe.
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.
Ensure that casing test and subsequent FIT tests are recorded on the same chart. Document incremental
volume pumped and returned during test.

Subject: RE: [EXTERNAL] Revised Program Required for PTD W-01B
No problem, Jack. Will do first thing this morning.
Re liner cement top: there are a few reasons for using the 9-5/8” shoe as the TOC vs. the
liner top:
Schrader laterals that have had lwd calipers ran show mostly gauge hole. Using
the 9-5/8” shoe with a 30% excess has a high likelihood of bring TOC beyond the 9-
5/8” casing shoe
Gauge hole TOC with 370bbls of cement pumped will bring cement to just
below the liner top
Gauge hole volume is ~284bbl, 86bbl of excess in the 9-5/8” x 7” annulus is
~1134’, planned liner top is 7400’, 9-5/8” shoe is 8575’ (1175’ liner lap)
Due to the 1175’ of liner lap on this well, bringing cement up to the liner top is
~1075’ further than the 100’ liner lap minimum as per 20 AAC 25.030 (d) 6
With excess pumped and historical gauge hole, there is a high likelihood
TOC will be beyond the 100’ lap minimum
Recently we have struggled with our liner hanger vendor on cemented liner jobs
and releasing the liner running tool with cement above the liner top (PBU 11-42
and DIU 2-72), resulting is loss of an entire well or significant post rig intervention
By using the 9-5/8” shoe and planned toc and 30% excess, this will
minimize the risk of cement above the liner top causing issues with
releasing the running tool.
We are also adding longer pump times on our cement blends and adjusting
liner hanger operations to minimize this risk
Injection fluids will be confined to the OBd by the 9-5/8” cement job, and
confirmed with a passing 9-5/8” FIT and the 9-5/8” TOC determined by CBL as
stated in step 14.18

Joe,
After discussing with the team, the most efficient way to process this is for you to submit
a new 401. I should have requested that yesterday.
What’s the reasoning for not bringing the cement up through the liner lap seeing its an
injector? We would prefer it.

Subject: [EXTERNAL] Revised Program Required for PTD W-01B
Joe –
After reviewing the PTD package for W-01B, please submit a revised program addressing
the following:
Include schematic of the current condition of the well upon arrival.
Included in section 6
Is there arctic pack? If so, what is the plan circulate it out/ handle it?
Records show no arctic pack in the OA, see section 10.7
What is your contingency if the casing doesn’t pull free?
See section 10.12
Final Schematic needs to be accurate – include sacrificial liner on schematic and
accurate cement tops
Updated and included in section 6
Step 16.35 – States cement to 9-5/8” casing shoe. Diagram shows cement to liner
top. Which is correct? Do you want cement up to liner top for this injection well.
Ensure displacement volumes match.
Cement is planned to 9-5/8” shoe with 30% excess. Schematic updated to match.
Step 16.36 – conflict in displacement volume for liner if liner running tool is at 4-
1/2” x 7” XO
Corrected. See section 17.24 (note, numbering has been updated in attached
program)
Step 16.36 – incorrect DP displacement volume
Corrected. See section 17.24 (note, numbering has been updated in attached
program)
Step 16.36 – total disp volume incorrect
Corrected. See section 17.24 (note, numbering has been updated in attached
program)
Step 18.13 – MITIA needs be witnessed since injector (25.412.e)
Included in section 18.13
Page 45 – Wellhead diagram needs to be legible
Wellhead is from 1988, unfortunately that is the only drawing we have. Diagram has
been annotated and updated.

7.0 Drilling / Completion Summary
PBU W-01B is a sidetrack injector planned to be drilled in the Schrader Bluff OBd sands. W-01B is part of a
multi-well program targeting the Schrader Bluff sand on PBU W-pad
The parent bore, W-01A, is a shut-in vertical injection well. The Ivishak and Schrader Bluff reservoirs will
be abandoned prior to the rig’s arrival on the well, operations covered on a separate sundry.
The directional plan is 12-1/4” intermediate hole and 9-5/8” casing string set into the top of the Schrader
Bluff OBd sand. An 8-1/2” lateral section will be drilled which includes an appraisal tail that will extend
across an east-west fault to help determine future development opportunities. The tail will be drilled outside
of the participating area boundary and will be abandoned via a cemented open hole P&A kit prior to running
the lower completion. An injection liner will be run and cemented in the remaining open hole section,
followed by 4-1/2” tubing. The well will not be pre-produced
The Innovation Rig will be used to drill and complete the wellbore.
Drilling operations are expected to commence approximately December 12, 2024, pending rig schedule.
All cuttings & mud generated during drilling operations will be hauled to one of two locations:
Primary: Prudhoe G&I on Pad 4
Secondary: the Milne Point “B” pad G&I facility
General sequence of operations:
1. MIRU Innovation Rig to well site
2. N/U & Test 13-5/8” BOPE
3. Pull 4-1/2” Tubing, cut & pull 9-5/8” casing
4. Set 13-3/8” whipstock, mill 12-1/4” window
5. Drill 12-1/4” hole to TD
6. Run and cement 9-5/8” casing
7. Drill 8-1/2” lateral to well TD

Drilling Procedure
8.0 Mandatory Regulatory Compliance / Notifications
Regulatory Compliance
Ensure that our drilling and completion operations comply with the all applicable AOGCC regulations,
specific regulations are listed below. If additional clarity or guidance is required on how to comply with
a specific regulation, do not hesitate to contact the Anchorage Drilling Team.
x BOPs shall be tested at (2) week intervals during the drilling and completion of PBU W-01B.
Ensure to provide AOGCC 24 hrs notice prior to testing BOPs.
x The initial test of BOP equipment will be to 250/3,000 psi & subsequent tests of the BOP equipment
will be to 250/3,000 psi for 5/5 min (annular to 50% rated WP, 2,500 psi on the high test for initial
and subsequent tests).Confirm that these test pressures match those specified on the APD.
x If the BOP is used to shut in on the well in a well control situation or control fluid flow from the
well bore, AOGCC is to be notified and we must test all BOP components utilized for well control
prior to the next trip into the wellbore. This pressure test will be charted same as the 14 day BOP
test.
x All AOGCC regulations within 20 AAC 25.033 “Primary well control for drilling: drilling fluid program
and drilling fluid system”.
x All AOGCC regulations within 20 AAC 25.035 “Secondary well control for primary drilling and
completion: blowout prevention equipment and diverter requirements”.
x Ensure AOGCC approved drilling permit is posted on the rig floor and in Co Man office.
x Casing pressure test criteria in 20 AAC 25.030 (e) Casing and Cementing,“A casing pressure test
must be performed if BOPE is to be installed on a casing. The casing must be tested to hold a
minimum surface pressure equal to 50 percent of the casing internal yield pressure. The test
pressure must show stabilizing pressure and may not decline more than 10 percent within 30
minutes. The results of this test and any subsequent tests of the casing must be recorded as required
by 20 AAC 25.070(1)”.

W-01B SB Injector
Drilling Procedure
AOGCC Regulation Variance Requests:
Hilcorp would like to request a variance from 20 AAC 25.412.(b)which states:
“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.”
In order to effectively produce this fault block, the current wellplan has the intermediate casing shoe landing at
the OBd production interval at ~86 degrees inclination. In order to make the ball and rod we land to set the
production packer slickline accessible, the X nipple in the tubing tail must be landed at less than 70 degrees
inclination. The MD we currently have planned for 70 degrees is at ~7750’ MD. The X-nipple below the
production packer will be set at ~7650’ MD and the production packer will be ~50’ MD above the X nipple which
puts it at ~7600’ MD / ~4987’ TVD. The intermediate casing shoe is planned at ~8575’ MD / ~5184’ TVD which
means the planned packer depth is ~975’ MD away. From a TVD standpoint, the production tubing packer is
~197’ TVD from the intermediate casing shoe. With the intermediate casing set in the Schrader Bluff sand, and
the injection packer set inside the intermediate casing, injection fluids will be confined to the Schrader bluff
sands.
Hilcorp would like to request a variance from AIO 25A Rule #4 which states:
“b. Within three months of start of injection in a new or converted injector, a step rate test and surveillance log
must be run for detection of fluids moving out of the approved injection stratum.”
The Polaris pool is unique among nearby Schraeder Bluff oil pools in its requirement to perform step-rate tests
and surveillance logs on all new or converted injectors to justify the maximum injection pressures for a given
well. The original justification for this change that was shared with the Commission in November 2003 were
step-rate tests on W-212 and S-215 which indicated injection pressures up to 0.8 psi/ft caused no detectable
migration of fluids outside of approved strata.
To date, all step-rate tests performed on injectors in the Polaris oil pool have indicated that the established
injection gradient of 0.8 psi/ft does not cause fluids to migrate out of zone. For W-01B, Hilcorp is requesting that
0.8 psi/ft be established as the injection limit for this well without conducting the step-rate test and surveillance
log listed in AIO 25A Rule #4.

Drilling Procedure
12.0 Drill 12-1/4” Hole Section
12.1 P/U 12-1/4” motor drilling assembly:
x Ensure BHA components have been inspected previously.
x Drift and caliper all components before M/U. Visually verify no debris inside components
that cannot be drifted.
x Ensure TF offset is measured accurately and entered correctly into the MWD software.
x Have DD run hydraulics calculations on site to ensure optimum nozzle sizing.
x Drill string will be 5” 19.5# S-135.
x Run a solid float in the hole section.
12.2 RIH with 12-1/4” BHA, to top of whipstock. Shallow test MWD at the first fill up point
12.3 Orient directional motor same as whipstock orientation and slide through window with no
pumps or rotary
x Confirm set orientation of whipstock, and have BHA match
12.4 Displace wellbore to 9.4 ppg LSND
x 9.4 ppg due to hydrates, free gas and potential for Cretaceous over pressure (although none
has been see at W pad, be aware from 4500’ TVD and deeper)
12.5 Drill 12-1/4” hole section to section TD, in the Schrader OBd sand. Confirm this setting depth
with the Geologist and Drilling Engineer while drilling the well.
x Efforts should be made to minimize dog legs in the intermediate hole. Keep DLS < 6 deg /
100.
x Hold a safety meeting with rig crews to discuss:
x Well control procedures and rig evacuation
x Flow rates, hole cleaning, mud cooling, etc.
x Pump sweeps and maintain mud rheology to ensure effective hole cleaning.
x Keep mud as cool as possible to keep from over melting hydrates
x Pump at 400-600 gpm. Monitor shakers closely to ensure shaker screens and return lines can
handle the flow rate.
x Ensure to not out drill hole cleaning capacity, perform clean up cycles or reduce ROP if
packoffs, increase in pump pressure or changes in hookload are seen
x Slow in/out of slips and while tripping to keep swab and surge pressures low
x Ensure shakers are functioning properly. Check for holes in screens on connections.
x Have the flowline jets hooked up and be ready to jet the flowline at the first sign of pea
gravel, clay balling or packing off.Wood has been observed across shakers during the
interval TVD.
x Gas hydrates are have been seen on W pad. In PBW they have been encountered typically
around 1660’ TVD (Base of Perm) to 3400’ TVD (Top Ugnu) and below. Be prepared for
hydrates:
x Keep mud temperature as cool as possible, Target 60-70*F.
Page 22
Prudhoe Bay West
W-01B SB Injector
Drilling Procedure
x Dump and dilute as necessary to maintain temp, utilize cold water on the rig as well as
cold pre-made mud on trucks ready.
x Drill through hydrate sands and quickly as possible, do not backream.
x Gas hydrates can be identified by the gas detector and a decrease in MW or ECD
x Monitor returns for hydrates, checking pressurized & non-pressurized scales
x Do not stop to circulate out gas hydrates – this will only exacerbate the problem by
washing out additional permafrost. Attempt to control drill (150 fph MAX) through the
zone completely and efficiently to mitigate the hydrate issue. Flowrates can also be
reduced to prevent mud from belching over the bell nipple.
x Gas hydrates are not a gas sand, once a hydrate is disturbed the gas will come out of the
well. MW will not control gas hydrates, but will affect how gas breaks out at surface.
x Intermediate Hole AC, CF <1.0 :
x There are no wells with a CF less than 1.0
12.6 12-1/4” hole mud program summary:
x Density:Weighting material to be used for the hole section will be barite. Additional
barite or spike fluid will be on location to weight up the active system (1) ppg above
highest anticipated MW. MW for free gas and hydrates based upon offset wells
Depth Interval MW (ppg)
Window - TD 9.4+ (For Hydrates/Free Gas based on offset
wells and cretaceous injection mitigation)
x PVT System:PVT will be used throughout the drilling and completion phase. Remote
monitoring stations will be available at the driller’s console, Co Man office, Toolpusher
office, and mud loggers office.
x Rheology:Aquagel and Barazan D+ should be used to maintain rheology. Maintain a
minimum 25 YP at all times while drilling. Be prepared to increase the YP if hole
cleaning becomes an issue.
x Fluid Loss:DEXTRID and/or PAC L should be used for filtrate control. Background
LCM (10 ppb total) BARACARBs/BAROFIBRE/STEELSEALs can be used in the
system while drilling the interval to prevent losses and strengthen the wellbore.
x Wellbore and mud stability:Additions of CON DET PRE-MIX/DRIL N SLIDE are
recommended to reduce the incidence of bit balling and shaker blinding when penetrating
the high-clay content sections of the Sagavanirktok and the heavy oil sections of the
UGNU 4A. Maintain the pH in the 8.5 – 9.0 range with caustic soda. Daily additions of
ALDACIDE G / X-CIDE 207 MUST be made to control bacterial action.
x Casing Running:Reduce system YP with DESCO as required for running casing as
allowed (do not jeopardize hole conditions). Run casing carefully to minimize surge and
swab pressures. Reduce the system rheology once the casing is landed to a YP < 20
(check with the cementers to see what YP value they have targeted).

Cement Slurry Design (Single Stage Cement Job):
14.9 Attempt to reciprocate casing during cement pumping if hole conditions allow. Watch
reciprocation PU and SO weights, if the hole gets “sticky”, cease pipe reciprocation and continue
with the cement job.
14.10 After pumping cement, drop top plug (Shutoff plug) and displace cement with mud out of mud
pits
x Ensure volumes pumped and volumes returned are documented and constant communication
between mud pits, HEC Rep and HES Cementers during the entire job.
14.11 Ensure rig pump is used to displace cement. Displacement calculations have proven to be very
accurate using 0.0625 bps (5” liners) for the Quattro pump output.
14.12 Displacement calculation:
= (8,575’-120’) x .0758 bpf =
= 641 bbls
14.13 Monitor returns closely while displacing cement. Adjust pump rate if losses are seen at any
point during the job. Be prepared to pump out fluid from cellar. Have black water available to
contaminate any cement seen at surface.
14.14 Land top plug and pressure up to 500 psi over bump pressure. Bleed pressure and check floats.
14.15 If plug is not bumped at calculated strokes, double check volumes and calculations. Over
displace by no more than 50% of shoe track volume, before consulting with Drilling Engineer.
14.16 Bump the plug with 500 psi over displacement pressure. Bleed off pressure and confirm floats
are holding. If floats do not hold, pressure up string to final circulating pressure and hold until
cement is set. Monitor pressure build up and do not let it exceed 500 psi above final circulating
pressure if pressure must be held

15.9 8-1/2” hole section mud program summary:
x Density:Weighting material to be used for the hole section will be calcium carbonate.
Additional calcium carbonate will be on location to weight up the active system (1) ppg
above highest anticipated MW.
x Solids Concentration:It is imperative that the solids concentration be kept low while
drilling the production hole section. Keep the shaker screen size optimized and fluid
running to near the end of the shakers. It is okay if the shakers run slightly wet to ensure
we are running the finest screens possible.
x Rheology:Keep viscosifier additions to an absolute minimum (N-VIS). Data suggests
excessive viscosifier concentrations can decrease return permeability. Do not pump high
vis sweeps, instead use tandem sweeps. Ensure 6 rpm is > 8.5 (hole diameter) for
sufficient hole cleaning
x Run the centrifuge continuously while drilling the production hole, this will help with
solids removal.
x Dump and dilute as necessary to keep drilled solids to an absolute minimum.
x MD Totco PVT will be used throughout the drilling and completion phase. Remote
monitoring stations will be available at the driller’s console, Co Man office, &
Toolpusher office.

15.11 Install MPD RCD
15.12 Displace wellbore to 9.2 ppg Baradrill-N drilling fluid
x Density may change based upon TD of prior hole section
15.13 Begin drilling 8-1/2” hole section, on-bottom staging technique:
x Tag bottom and begin drilling with 100 - 120 rpms at bit. Allow WOB to stabilize at 5-8K.
x Slowly begin bringing up rpms, monitoring stick slip and BHA vibrations
x If BHA begins to show excessive vibrations / whirl / stick slip, it may be necessary to PU
off bottom and restart on bottom staging technique. If stick slip continues, consider adding
0.5% lubes
15.15 Drill 8-1/2” hole section to section TD per Geologist and Drilling Engineer.
x Flow Rate: 350-550 GPM, target min. AV’s 200 ft/min, 385 GPM
x RPM: 120+
x Ensure shaker screens are set up to handle this flowrate. Ensure shakers are running slightly
wet to maximize solids removal efficiency. Check for holes in screens on every connection.
x Keep pipe movement with pumps off to slow speeds, to keep surge and swab pressures low
x Take MWD surveys every stand, can be taken more frequently if deemed necessary, ex:
concretion deflection
x Monitor Torque and Drag with pumps on every 5 stands
x Monitor ECD, pump pressure & hookload trends for hole cleaning indication
x Good drilling and tripping practices are vital for avoidance of differential sticking. Make
every effort to keep the drill string moving whenever possible and avoid stopping with the
BHA across the sand for any extended period of time.
x Use ADR to stay in section. Reservoir plan is to stay in OBd sand.
x Limit maximum instantaneous ROP to < 250 FPH. The sands will drill faster than this, but
when concretions are hit when drilling this fast, cutter damage can occur.
x Target ROP is as fast as we can clean the hole without having to backream connections
x Schrader Bluff OBd Concretions: 4-6% Historically
x MPD will be utilized to monitor pressure build up on connections.
x 8-1/2” Lateral A/C, CF < 1.0:
x There are no wells with a CF < 1.0
15.16 Reference:Halliburton has a procedure for Schrader OH sidetracks based on lessons
learned and best practices. Ensure the DD is referencing their procedure.
x Patience is key! Getting kicked off too quickly might have been the cause of failed liner
runs on past wells.
x If a known fault is coming up, put a slight “kick-off ramp” in wellbore ahead of the fault so
we have a nice place to low side.
x Attempt to lowside in a fast drilling interval where the wellbore is headed up.

Drilling Procedure
x Orient TF to low side and dig a trough with high flowrates for the first 30 feet, working
string back and forth. Trough for approximately 30 minutes.
x Time drill at 4 to 6 feet per hour with high flow rates. Gradually increase ROP as the
openhole sidetrack is achieved.
15.17 At TD, CBU at least 4 times at 200 ft/min AV (385+ GPM) and rotation (120+ RPM). Pump
tandem sweeps if needed
x Monitor BU for increase in cuttings, cuttings in laterals come back in waves and not a
consistent stream, circulate more if necessary
x If seepage losses are seen while drilling, consider reducing MW at TD
15.18 Displace 1.5 OH + liner volume with viscosified brine.
x Proposed brine blend (same as used on M-16, aiming for an 8 on the 6 RPM reading) -

Lube 776: 1.5%
Soda Ash: as needed for 9.5pH
Busan 1060: 0.42ppb
Flo-Vis Plus: 1.25ppb
x Monitor well for loss rate and contact Drilling Engineer and/or Ops Engineer if further
discussion needed prior to BROOH.
15.19 Monitor the returned fluids carefully while displacing to brine.
15.20 BROOH with the drilling assembly to the 9-5/8” casing shoe
x Circulate at full drill rate (less if losses are seen, 350 GPM minimum).
x Rotate at maximum RPM that can be sustained.
x Pulling speed 5 – 10 min/stand (slip to slip time, not including connections), adjust as
dictated by hole conditions
x If backreaming operations are commenced, continue backreaming to the shoe
15.21 If abnormal pressure has been observed in the lateral, utilize MPD to close on connections while
BROOH.
15.22 CBU minimum two times at 9-5/8” shoe and clean casing with high vis sweeps.
15.23 Monitor well for flow/pressure build up with MPD. Increase fluid weight if necessary.
x Wellbore breathing has been seen on past MPU SB wells. Perform extended flow checks to
determine if well is breathing, treat all flow as an influx until proven otherwise
x If necessary, increase MW at shoe for any higher than expected pressure seen

23.0 Anticipated Drilling Hazards
12-1/4” Hole Section:
Lost Circulation
Ensure adequate amounts of LCM are available. Monitor fluid volumes to detect any early signs of lost
circulation. For minor seepage losses, consider adding small amounts of calcium carbonate.
Gas Hydrates/Free Gas
Gas hydrates have been seen on PBU W Pad. Be prepared for them. They have been reported between
1800’ and 3140’ TVD across Prudhoe. MW has been chosen based upon successful trouble free
penetrations of offset wells.
x Be prepared for gas hydrates
o Keep mud temperature as cool as possible, Target 60-70*F
o Dump and dilute as necessary to maintain temp, utilize cold water on the rig as well as
cold premade mud on trucks ready
o Drill through hydrate sands and quickly as possible, do not backream.
Remember that hydrate gas behaves differently from a gas sand. Additional fluid density will not
prevent influx of gas hydrates, but can help control the breakout at surface. Once a gas hydrate has been
disturbed the gas will come out of the hole. Drill through the hydrate section as quickly as possible
while minimizing gas belching. Minimize circulation time while drilling through the hydrate zone.
Excessive circulation will accelerate formation thawing which can increase the amount of hydrates
released into the wellbore. Keep the mud circulation temperature as cold as possible. Weigh mud with
both a pressurized and non-pressurized mud scale. The non-pressurized scale will reflect the actual mud
cut weight. Isolate/dump contaminated fluid to remove hydrates from the system.
Cretaceous Over Pressure:
W-Pad does not have a history of over-pressure in the cretaceous interval (4500-5300’ TVD). However,
as a precaution ensure MW is above 9.0. Be prepared while drilling this interval.
Hole Cleaning:
Maintain rheology of mud system. Sweep hole with high viscosity sweeps as necessary. Optimize
solids control equipment to maintain density, sand content, and reduce the waste stream. Monitor
ECD’s to determine if additional circulation time is necessary. In a highly deviated wellbore, pipe
rotation is critical for effective hole cleaning. Rotate at maximum RPM’s when CBU, and keep pipe
moving to avoid washing out a particular section of the hole. Ensure to clean the hole with rotation after
slide intervals. Do not out drill our ability to clean the hole.
Anti-Collison:
There are no known wells with a clearance factory <1.0. Take directional surveys every stand, take
additional surveys if necessary. Continuously monitor proximity to offset wellbores and record any
close approaches on AM report.
Well Specific A/C:
x No Wells with CF < 1.0
Page 54
Prudhoe Bay West
W-01B SB Injector
Drilling Procedure
Wellbore stability (Permafrost, running sands and gravel
Washouts in the permafrost can be severe if the string is left circulating across it for extended periods of
time. Keep mud as cool as possible by taking on cold water and diluting often. High TOH and RIH
speeds can aggravate fragile shale/coal formations due to the pressure variations between surge and
swab. Bring the pumps on slowly after connections. Maintain mud parameters and increase MW to
combat running sands and gravel formations. Stuck pipe, wood chunks over shakers and other hole
stability issues are specific to W pad. Be prepared and review Pad Data Sheet. Bad see pad data sheet
H2S:
Treat every hole section as though it has the potential for H2S. PBU W-Pad has a history of H2S on
wells in all reservoirs. Below are the most recent H2S values of monitored wells in the Shrader / Orion
Pool.
1. The AOGCC will be notified within 24 hours if H2S is encountered in excess of 20 ppm during
drilling operations.
2. The rig will have fully functioning automatic H2S detection equipment meeting the requirements
of 20 AAC 25.066.
3. In the event H2S is detected, wellwork will be suspended and personnel evacuated until a
detailed mitigation procedure can be developed.

W-01B SB Injector
Drilling Procedure
8-1/2” Hole Section:
Hole Cleaning:
Maintain rheology of mud system. Sweep hole with low-vis water sweeps. Ensure shakers are set up
with appropriate screens to maximize solids removal efficiency. Run centrifuge continuously. Monitor
ECDs to determine if additional circulation time is necessary. In a highly deviated wellbore, pipe
rotation is critical for effective hole cleaning. Rotate at maximum RPMs when CBU, and keep pipe
moving to avoid washing out a particular section of the wellbore. Ensure to clean the hole with rotation
after slide intervals. Do not out drill our ability to clean the hole. Maintain circulation rate of > 300
gpm
Lost Circulation:
Ensure adequate amounts of LCM are available. Monitor fluid volumes to detect any early signs of lost
circulation. For minor seepage losses, consider adding small amounts of calcium carbonate.
Faulting:
Crossing faults, known or unknown, can result in drilling into unstable formations that may impact
future drilling and liner runs. Talk with Geologist to ensure all known faults are identified and prepared
for accordingly.
H2S:
Treat every hole section as though it has the potential for H2S. PBU W-Pad has a history of H2S on
wells in all reservoirs. Below are the most recent H2S values of monitored wells in the Shrader / Orion
Pool.
1. The AOGCC will be notified within 24 hours if H2S is encountered in excess of 20 ppm during

Abnormal Pressures and Temperatures:
Reservoir pressures are expected to be normal. Utilize MPD to mitigate any abnormal pressure seen.
Anti-Collision
Take directional surveys every stand, take additional surveys if necessary. Continuously monitor
drilling parameters for signs of magnetic interference with another well. Reference A/C report in
directional plan.

25.0 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 with the recent casing test already shown, plot the fluid pumped (volume or strokes) vs.
drill pipe pressure until appropriate surface pressure is achieved for FIT at shoe.
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.
Ensure that casing test and subsequent FIT tests are recorded on the same chart. Document incremental
volume pumped and returned during test.
