Brief Well Summary
Milne Point R-111 was drilled as a horizontal Schrader OA injector in December of 2025. The well was
approved as an injection well and has an extended flowback period. The PTD finalized the well as a
production well.
Notes Regarding Wellbore Condition
3-1/2x9-5/8 Annulus tested 12/6/2025 to 3,620 psi
Objective
Convert to Injection
Sundried work:
Coil Tubing-
1) MIRU CTU. PT PCE accordingly with respect to the coil weekly BOP testing
schedule
2) RIH and pull JP from X-Nipple at 11,805 MD.
3) Pump 602 bbls CI Inhibited 1% KCl down the IA followed by 173 bbls (1,900 TVD) of
diesel.
a) IA Volume: 0.06393 bpf x 12,111 = 775 bbls
4) Shift SSD closed with HB-2 shifting tool.
5) Perform MIT-IA to 2,000psi.
a) Contact OE for discussion if difficulty obtaining passing test due to large pumping
volumes and thermal changes.
6) RDMO.

8.0 Mandatory Regulatory Compliance / Notifications
Regulatory Compliance
Ensure that all drilling and completion operations comply with all applicable AOGCC regulations.
Operations stated in this PTD application may be altered based on sound engineering judgement as
wellbore conditions require, but no AOGCC regulations will be varied from without prior approval from
the AOGCC. If additional clarity or guidance is required on how to comply with a specific regulation,
do not hesitate to contact the Anchorage Drilling Team.
Review all conditions of approval of the PTD on the 10-401 form. Ensure that the conditions of
approval are captured in shift handover notes until they are executed and complied with.
BOPs shall be tested at (2) week intervals during the drilling and completion of MPU R-111.
Ensure to provide AOGCC 24 hrs notice prior to testing BOPs.
The initial test of BOP equipment will be to 250/3000 psi & subsequent tests of the BOP equipment
will be to 250/3000 psi for 5/5 min (annular to 50% rated WP, 2500 psi on the high test for initial
and subsequent tests).Confirm that these test pressures match those specified on the PTD.
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.

Drilling Procedure
11.0 Drill 16 Hole Section
11.1 P/U 16 directional drilling assembly:
Ensure BHA components have been inspected previously.
Drift and caliper all components before M/U. Visually verify no debris inside components
that cannot be drifted.
GWD and MWD tools will be in the BHA.
Ensure TF offset is measured accurately and entered correctly into the MWD software.
Have DD run hydraulics calculations on site to ensure optimum nozzle sizing.
Drill string will be 5-1/2 21.9# S-135.
Run a solid float in the surface hole section.
11.2 Begin drilling out from 20 conductor at reduced flow rates to avoid broaching the conductor.
Consider using a trash bit to clean out conductor to mitigate potential damage from debris in
conductor.
11.3 Drill 16 hole section to section TD, in the SV1. Confirm this setting depth with the Geologist
and Drilling Engineer while drilling the well.
Efforts should be made to minimize dog legs in the surface hole. Do not exceed 5 deg / 100.
If a DLS > 5 deg / 100 is measured, immediately backream stand to knock down severity.
Do not exceed 80° inclination in interval. If survey shows inc > 80°, immediately backream
stand to knock down inclination.
Monitor the area around the conductor for any signs of broaching. If broaching is observed,
Stop drilling (or circulating) immediately notify Drilling Engineer.
Hold a safety meeting with rig crews to discuss:
Conductor broaching ops and mitigation procedures.
Well control procedures and rig evacuation
Flow rates, hole cleaning, mud cooling, etc.
Pump sweeps and maintain mud rheology to ensure effective hole cleaning. Mud rheology is
the primary method of transporting cuttings.
Keep mud as cool as possible to keep from washing out permafrost.
Pump at 400-600 gpm, staying between 400 and 450 gpm through the permafrost. Monitor
shakers closely to ensure shaker screens and return lines can handle the flow rate.
Ensure to not out drill hole cleaning capacity, perform clean up cycles or reduce ROP if
packoffs, increases in pump pressure, or changes in hookload are seen
Slow in/out of slips and while tripping to keep swab and surge pressures low
Ensure shakers are functioning properly. Check for holes in screens on connections.
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.
Adjust MW and viscosity as necessary to maintain hole stability, ensure MW is at a 9.2
minimum at TD (pending MW increase due to hydrates).
Drill ahead using GWD. Take MWD surveys every stand as backup.
Page 15
Milne Point Unit
R-111 SB Injector
Drilling Procedure
Be ready for the dead zone around base permafrost and the formation horizons at and just
below base permafrost. Can be in 100% slide and still lose angle in the dead zone. However,
BHA can deflect (ie. high DLS) when drilling through formation horizons. Remember, the
intermediate hole section has minimal directional work until the last ~300 so theres plenty
of footage to get back on plan.
Gas hydrates have not been seen on pads adjacent to R-Pad (F-Pad and L-Pad). However, be
prepared for them. In MPU they have been encountered typically around 2100-2400 TVD
(just below permafrost). Be prepared for hydrates:
Gas hydrates can be identified by the gas detector and a decrease in MW or ECD
Monitor returns for hydrates, checking pressurized & non-pressurized scales
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.
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.
AC: All wells have a clearance factor greater than 1.0 in the surface interval.
16 hole mud program summary:
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. We will start with a simple gel + FW spud mud at 8.8 ppg and TD with
9.2+ ppg.
Depth Interval MW (ppg)
Surface Base Permafrost 8.8+
Base Permafrost - TD 9.2+
PVT System: MD Totco PVT will be used throughout the drilling and completion phase.
Remote monitoring stations will be available at the drillers console, Co Man office, and
Toolpusher office.
Rheology: MI-Gel should be used to maintain rheology. Begin system with a 75 YP but
reduce this once clays are encountered. Maintain a minimum 25 YP at all times while
drilling. Be prepared to increase the YP if hole cleaning becomes an issue.
Fluid Loss: PolyPac Supreme UL should be used for filtrate control. Background LCM (10
ppb total) can be used in the system while drilling the surface interval to prevent losses and
strengthen the wellbore.
Wellbore and mud stability:Additions of SCREENKLEEN are recommended to reduce the
incidence of bit balling and shaker blinding when penetrating the high-clay content sections
of the Sagavanirktok. Maintain the pH in the 8.5 9.0 range with caustic soda. Perform
Page 16
Milne Point Unit
R-111 SB Injector
Drilling Procedure
routine checks for bacterial growth in the mud. If treatment is needed, treat with BUSAN
1060 daily to control bacterial action.
Casing Running:Attempt to maintain mud rheology until casing is on bottom. Reduce
system YP with DESCO and SAPP as last resort 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).

Drilling Procedure
Solids Concentration: 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.
Rheology: Keep viscosifier additions reasonably low. Utilize sweeps (weighted, high
vis, tandem) to inform hole cleaning efficiency. Ensure 6 rpm is > 12 (~hole diameter)
for sufficient hole cleaning
Run the centrifuge as needed while drilling the intermediate hole, this will help with
solids removal.
Dump and dilute as necessary to keep drilled solids to an absolute minimum.
MD Totco PVT will be used throughout the drilling and completion phase. Remote
monitoring stations will be available at the drillers console, Co Man office, &
Toolpusher office.

15.12 Begin drilling 12-1/4 hole section, on-bottom staging technique:
Tag bottom and begin drilling with 100 - 120 rpms at bit. Allow WOB to stabilize at 5-8k.
Slowly begin bringing up rpms, monitoring stick slip and BHA vibrations
If BHA begins to show excessive vibrations / whirl / stick slip, it may be necessary to P/U
off bottom and restart on bottom staging technique. If stick slip continues, consider adding
0.5% lubes
15.13 Drill 12-1/4 hole section to section TD per Geologist and Drilling Engineer.
Flow Rate: 700-950 gpm. Target 950 GPM. AVs 194 ft/min, 950 gpm
RPM: 120-180. Target 150-180rpm
Utilize GWD surveys for entire 12-1/4 hole section
Efforts should be made to minimize dog legs in the intermediate hole.
Keep any directional work needed to maintain plan to DLS < 3 deg / 100. Any doglegs over
3 deg / 100 need to be addressed before drilling ahead. There is plenty of length in this hole
section to get back on plan.
Pump sweeps and maintain mud rheology to ensure effective hole cleaning.
Page 26
Milne Point Unit
R-111 SB Injector
Drilling Procedure
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.
Ensure the scalper screens are 50s before drilling ahead
Screen down to 100s before drilling Ugnu. Screen up as hole conditions allow to 170/200s.
Keep pipe movement with pumps off to slow speeds, to keep surge and swab pressures low
Take MWD/GWD surveys every stand and more frequently if deemed necessary, ex:
concretion deflection
Monitor Torque and Drag with pumps on every 5 stands
Monitor ECD, pump pressure & hookload trends for hole cleaning indication
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 sands for any extended period of time.
When drilling through the Ugnu sections (UG4, UG4A, UG3, UG1), limit ROP to 150 fph.
This is to handle the sand on the shaker screens at the high flow rate
Ensure ScreenKleen concentration is between 1.5% and 2.5% before drilling Ugnu sands.
Have additional ScreenKleen available in shaker room to pressure wash and scrub shaker
screens during connections.
Minimize the amount of water used on the screens. Clean with ScreenKleen instead.
Ensure mud is warm before drilling Ugnu. Use steam lines in pits if needed.
Watch for packoffs while drilling through UG2 and UG1 coals. These are the most
problematic in the Ugnu formation.
Once below the Ugnu, limit maximum instantaneous ROP to < 200 fph. The formations will
drill faster than this, but if a concretion is hit closer to TD when drilling this fast, cutter
damage can occur.
Target ROP is as fast as we can clean the hole (under 200 fph) without having to backream
connections
Note depths of the Ugnu coals for ghost reamer crossings and post-TD backreaming
awareness
A/C: All wells have a clearance factor greater than 1.0 in the intermediate interval.
15.14 At TD, CBU (minimum 5-7X, more if needed) at max rate and rotation (120+ rpm). Pump
tandem sweeps if needed
Rack back a stand at each bottoms up and reciprocate a full stand in between (while
circulating the BU). Keep the pipe moving while pumping.
Monitor BU for increase in cuttings. Cuttings in laterals will come back in waves and not a
consistent stream so circulate more if necessary
Ensure lubricant concentration is at least 4.0% in and out before pulling off bottom.
15.15 BROOH with the drilling assembly to the 13-3/8 casing shoe.
Circulate at full drill rate unless losses are seen.
Rotate at maximum rpm that can be sustained.
Target pulling speed of 5 10 min/std (slip to slip time, not including connections), but
adjust as hole conditions dictate.
Slow pulling speed when backreaming through coal depths seen when drilling.

Drilling Procedure
Have the flowline jets hooked up and be ready to jet the flowline at the first sign of clay
balling.
If flow rates are reduced to combat overloaded shakers/flowline, stop back reaming until
parameters are restored.
Monitor returns during the backream for increase in cuttings. Cuttings in laterals will come
back in waves and not a consistent stream so circulate more if necessary.
15.16 CBU 13-3/8 shoe (minimum 4x) and clean casing with high vis sweeps. Be prepared for the
hole to unload. This may take 4-6 BU before clean. Pump an EP Mud Lube pill to coat the
surface casing before POOH.
15.17 Monitor well for flow.
15.18 POOH and LD BHA. Be prepared to pump out of the hole until entering vertical section. If
needing to pump out, continue until BHA enters vertical section. CBU to clean casing once BHA
is in the vertical section. This may take several BU volumes to achieve.
15.19 Change upper rams from 3-1/2 x 5-1/2 VBRs to 9-5/8 casing rams and test to 250 psi low,
3,000 psi high for 5/5 minutes with 9-5/8 test joint.

18.10 8-1/2 hole section mud program summary:
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.
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.
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
Run the centrifuge continuously while drilling the production hole, this will help with
solids removal.
Dump and dilute as necessary to keep drilled solids to an absolute minimum.

Flow Rate: 350-550 gpm, target min. AVs 200 ft/min, 390 gpm
RPM: 120+
Utilize GWD surveys for entire 8-1/2 hole section
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.
Keep pipe movement with pumps off to slow speeds, to keep surge and swab pressures low
Take MWD surveys every stand, can be taken more frequently if deemed necessary, ex:

Drilling Procedure
Limit maximum instantaneous ROP to < 200 fph. The sands will drill faster than this, but
when concretions are hit when drilling this fast, cutter and/or tool damage can occur.
Target ROP is as fast as we can clean the hole (under 200 fph) without having to backream
connections
Watch for higher than expected pressure. MPD will be utilized to monitor pressure build up
on connections
Schrader Bluff OA Concretions: 4-6% Historically
AC: All wells have a clearance factor greater than 1.0 in the surface interval.
18.16 Reference:Halliburton has a procedure for Schrader OH sidetracks based on lessons
learned and best practices. Ensure the DD is referencing their procedure.
Patience is key! Getting kicked off too quickly might have been the cause of failed liner
runs on past wells.
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.
Attempt to sidetrack low and right in a fast drilling interval where the wellbore is headed up.
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.
Time drill at 4 to 6 feet per hour with high flow rates. Gradually increase ROP as the
openhole sidetrack is achieved.
18.17 At TD, CBU (minimum 5-7X, more if needed) at 200 ft/min AV (385+ gpm) and rotation (120+
rpm). Pump tandem sweeps if needed
Rack back a stand at each bottoms-up and reciprocate a full stand in between (while
circulating the BU). Keep the pipe moving while pumping.
Monitor BU for increase in cuttings. Cuttings in laterals will come back in waves and not a
consistent stream so circulate more if necessary
If seepage losses are seen while drilling, consider reducing MW at TD to 9.0 ppg minimum
18.18 Mix and pump 40 bbl 10 ppb SAPP pill. Line up to a closed loop system and circulate three SAP
pills with 50 bbl in between. Displace out SAP pills. Monitor shakers for returns of mud filter
cake and calcium carbonate. Circulate the well clean.
Losses during the cleanup of the wellbore are a good indication that the mud filter cake is
being removed, including an increase in the loss rate.

19.5 Ensure that the liner top packer is set ~150 MD above the 9-5/8 shoe.
AOGCC regulations require a minimum 100 overlap between the inner and outer strings as
per 20 AAC 25.030(d)(6). Ensure hanger/packer will not be set in a 9-5/8 connection.
19.6 Before picking up Baker SLZXP liner hanger / packer assy, count the # of joints on the pipe deck
to make sure it coincides with the pipe tally.
19.7 M/U Baker SLZXP liner top packer with 6 lower sealbore extention to 4-1/2 x 5-1/2 liner.
19.8 Note: PU and SO of liner. Ensure SwivelMASTER is on top of the liner tunning tool before
picking up drillpipe. Run liner in the hole one stand and pump through liner hanger to ensure a
clear flow path exists.
19.9 RIH with liner no faster than 30 ft/min this is to prevent buckling the liner and drill string and
weight transfer to get liner to bottom with minimal rotation. Watch displacement carefully and
avoid surging the hole or buckling the liner. Slow down running speed if necessary.
Ensure 5-1/2 DP/HWDP has been drifted
Fill pipe every 10-15 stands to make sure string is topped off.
19.10 Slow in and out of slips. Ensure accurate slack off data is gathered during RIH. Record shoe
depth + SO depth every stand. Record torque value if it becomes necessary to rotate the string to
bottom.
19.11 Obtain up and down weights of the liner before entering open hole.
19.12 Every 5 stands, record SO weights both with and without drillpipe rotation.
19.13 If any open hole sidetracks have been drilled, monitor sidetrack depths during run in and ensure
shoe enters correct hole.
19.14 TIH deeper than planned setting depth. Last motion of the liner should be up to ensure it is set in
tension.
19.15 Rig up to pump down the work string with the rig pumps.
19.16 Break circulation. Begin circulating at ~1 BPM and monitor pump pressures. Do not exceed
1,600 psi while circulating.Pusher tool is set at 2,100 psi with 5% shear screws but it should be
discussed before exceeding 1,600 psi. Note all losses. Confirm all pressures with Baker
19.17 Prior to setting the hanger and packer, double check all pipe tallies and record amount of drill
pipe left on location. Ensure all numbers coincide with proper setting depth of liner hanger.
19.18 Shut down pumps. Drop setting ball down the workstring and pump slowly (1-2 BPM). Slow
pump before the ball seats. Do not allow ball to slam into ball seat.

Slack off 20K lbs on the SZXP liner hanger/packer to ensure the HRDE setting tool is in
compression for release from the SLZXP liner hanger/packer. Continue pressuring up 4,500 psi
to release the HRDE running tool.
19.20 Bleed DP pressure to 0 psi. Pick up to expose rotating dog sub and set down 50K without
pulling sleeve packoff. Pick back up without pulling sleeve packoff, begin rotating at 10-20
RPM and set down 50K again.
19.21 PU to neutral weight, close BOP and test annulus to 1,500 psi for 10 minutes charted.
19.22 Bleed off pressure and open BOPE. Pickup to verify that the HRD setting tool has released. If
packer did not test, rotating dog sub can be used to set packer. If running tool cannot be
hydraulically released, apply LH torque to mechanically release the setting tool.
19.23 PU pulling running tool free of the packer and displace at max rate to wash the liner top. Pump
sweeps as needed.
19.24 POOH. LD and inspect running tools. If setting of liner hanger/packer proceeded as planned,

28.0 Anticipated Drilling Hazards
16 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
Gas hyrates have not been seen on Raven pad. However, be prepared for them. Remember that hydrate
gas behave 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.
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 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 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 a number of wells in close proximity. Take directional surveys every stand, take additional
surveys if necessary. Continuously monitor proximity to offset wellbores and record any close
approaches on AM report. Discuss offset wellbores with production foreman and consider shutting in
adjacent wells if necessary. Monitor drilling parameters for signs of collision with another well. Well
specific A/C:
There are no wells with a CF < 1.0
Wellbore stability (Permafrost, running sands and gravel, conductor broaching):
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. Monitor conductor for any signs of broaching.
Maintain mud parameters and increase MW to combat running sands and gravel formations.
H2S:
Treat every hole section as though it has the potential for H2S. No H2S events have been documented
on drill wells on this pad.
Page 58
Milne Point Unit
R-111 SB Injector
Drilling Procedure
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.

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
Gas hyrates have not been seen on Raven pad. However, be prepared for them. While the likely depths
for hydrates are in the surface interval, remain vigilant. Remember that hydrate gas behave 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.
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 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 hole. Ensure to clean the hole with rotation after slide
intervals if motor is used. Do not out drill our ability to clean the hole.
Anti-Collison:
There are wells in close proximity and deviation from plan could have a trickle-down effect on the
pattern for subsequent wells. Take directional surveys every stand, take additional surveys if necessary.
Continuously monitor proximity to offset wellbores and record any close approaches on AM report.
Discuss offset wellbores with production foreman and consider shutting in adjacent wells if necessary.
Monitor drilling parameters for signs of collision with another well. Well specific A/C:
There are no wells with a CF < 1.0
Wellbore stability (running sands, Ungu coals and hard streaks):
Ugnu Coals in the UG3 and UG2 have proven challenging in the first Raven Pad wells. High TOH and
RIH speeds, coupled with the high sail angle, can aggravate fragile shale/coal formations due to the
pressure variations between surge and swab. Bring the pumps on slowly after connections. Ensure ghost
reamer is in the drillstring and located where it will have wiped the trouble coals prior to reaching TD.
Maintain mud parameters and increase MW to combat running sand formations.
H2S:
Treat every hole section as though it has the potential for H2S. No H2S events have been documented
on drill wells on this pad.

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
appropriately to maximize solids removal efficiency. Run centrifuge continuously. Monitor ECDs to
determine if additional circulation time is necessary. Calculate clean-hole ECD at every mud check to
ensure mud properties are in alignment and to gauge hole cleaning efficiency. 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:
There is one mapped fault that will be crossed while drilling the well. There could be others and the
throw of these faults is not well understood at this point in time. When a known fault is coming up,
ensure to put a ramp in the wellbore to aid in kicking off (low siding) later. Once a fault is crossed,
well need to either drill up or down to get a look at the LWD log and determine the throw and then
replan the wellbore.
H2S:
Treat every hole section as though it has the potential for H2S. No H2S events have been documented
on drill wells on this pad.
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.
Abnormal Pressures and Temperatures:
Reservoir pressures are expected to be normal. Abnormal (offset injection) pressure has been seen on R-
Pad. 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. Well specific AC:
There are no wells with a CF < 1.0

30.0 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.
Constant pump rate required. - mgr
