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

7.0 Drilling / Completion Summary
KALOTSA 11 is an S-shaped directional grassroots development well to be drilled from Kalotsa Pad.
Reservoir analysis and subsurface mapping has identified an optimal location for infill development of the
Tyonek and Lower Beluga sands.
The base plan is an S-shaped directional wellbore with a kickoff point at ~400 MD. Maximum hole angle
will be ~62 deg. and TD of the well will be 9900 TMD/ 7749 TVD, ending with 15 deg inclination.
Drilling operations are expected to commence approximately January 2025. The Hilcorp Rig #147 will be
used to drill the wellbore then run casing and cement.
Surface casing will be run to approx. 1735 MD / 1374 TVD and cemented to surface to ensure protection of
any shallow freshwater resources. Cement returns to surface will confirm TOC at surface. If cement returns
to surface are not observed, a cement evaluation log (CBL/VDL or temperature log for example) may be run
to determine TOC. Necessary remedial action will then be discussed with AOGCC authorities.
All waste & mud generated during drilling and completion operations will be hauled to the Beluga Waste
Cells.The contingency plan will be tohaul cuttingsto theKenai Gas Field G&I facility for disposal / beneficial
reuse depending on test results.
General sequence of operations:
1. MOB Hilcorp Rig # 147 to wellsite

22.0 Anticipated Drilling Hazards
9-7/8 Hole Section:
Lost Circulation:
Ensure 500 lbs of medium/coarse fibrous material & 500 lbs different sizes of Calcium Carbonate are
available on location to mix LCM pills at moderate product concentrations.
Hole Cleaning:
Maintain rheology w/ gel and gel extender. Sweep hole with gel or flowzan sweeps as necessary.
Optimize solids control equipment to maintain density, sand content, and reduce the waste stream.
Maintain YP between 25 45 to optimize hole cleaning and control ECD.
Wellbore stability:
Lithology through this zone is a composite of pebble conglomerate and sand in the upper intervals with
intermittent clay matrix. Carbonaceous material and coal may be noted. Gravel sizes that are larger
than normal can cause hole-cleaning problems. If encountered, be prepared to increase the viscosity.
Excessive quantities of gravel and sand may indicate wellbore instability. Increase properties up to a YP
of ~50 - ~60 lbs/100ft2 to combat this issue. Maintain low flow rates for the initial 200 of drilling to
reduce the likelihood of washing out the conductor shoe.
To help ensure good cement to surface after running the casing, condition the mud to a YP of 25 30
prior to cement operations. Do not lower the YP beyond 25 to avoid trouble with sands that may be
found on this well. Have Desco DF, SAPP, and water on hand to ensure the desired rheologies can be
achieved.
H2S:
H2S is not present in this hole section.
No abnormal pressures or temperatures are present in this hole section.
Page 34 Rev 0.0 Nov 24, 2025
KALOTSA 11
Drilling Procedure
PTD XXX-XXX
6-3/4 Hole Section:
Lost Circulation:
Ensure 1000 lbs of each of the different sizes of Calcium Carbonate are available on location to mix
LCM pills at moderate product concentrations.
Given the volume of losses experienced in 241-34T in 2020 and BRU 244-27 and BRU 222-34 in 2022,
ensure all LCM inventory is fully stocked before drilling out surface casing.
Hole Cleaning:
Maintain rheology w/ viscosifier as necessary. Sweep hole w/ 20 bbls hi-vis pills as necessary.
Optimize solids control equipment to maintain density and minimize sand content. Maintain YP
between 20 - 30 to optimize hole cleaning and control ECD.
Wellbore stability:
Maintain MW as necessary using additions of Calcium Carbonate as weighting material. A torque
reduction lube may be used in this hole section in concentrations up to 3% if needed. Maintain 6% KCl
in system for shale inhibition.
Coal Drilling:
The following lessons were learned from extensive experience drilling coal seams in Cook Inlet. The
need for good planning and drilling practices is also emphasized as a key component for success.
Keep the drill pipe in tension to prevent a whipping effect which can disturb coal sections.
Use asphalt-type additives to further stabilize coal seams.
Increase fluid density as required to control running coals.
Emphasize good hole cleaning through hydraulics, ROP and system rheology.
H2S:
H2S is not present in this hole section.
No abnormal temperatures are present in this hole section.

24.0 FIT/LOT 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 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.
