Re:MPI 2-56B Permit to Drill
Approval is requested for drilling a CTD sidetrack lateral from well 2-56A with the Nabors CDR2/CDR3
Coiled Tubing Drilling.
Proposed plan for MPI 2-56B Injector:
See 2-56A Sundry request for complete pre-rig details - Prior to drilling activities, screening will be conducted to
drift for whipstock. E-line will set a 4-1/2" whipstock. If unable to set the whipstock pre-rig, the rig will perform that
work.
A coil tubing drilling sidetrack will be drilled with the Nabors CDR3/CDR2 rig. The rig will move in, test BOPE and
kill the well. If unable to pre-rig, the rig will set the 4-1/2" whipstock and mill 3.80" window + 10' of formation. The
well will kick off drilling in the HRZ and top set the Sag River with a 3-1/4" pre-perforated liner. CDR3 will then
freeze protect the well and rig down move off to 2-74A Sidetrack (Approximately 20 days). CDR3 will return to
2-56B, move in, test BOPE and kill the well. The rig will then mill out the 3-1/4" aluminum shoe with a 2.74" mill.
The 3.25" lateral will be drilled through the upper and lower Ivishak. The proposed sidetrack will be completed
with a 3-1/2"x2-3/8 13Cr solid liner, cemented in place and selectively perforated post rig (will be perforated with
rig if unable to post rig). This completion will completely isolate and abandon the parent perfs.
The following describes the work planned. A wellbore schematic of the current well and proposed sidetrack is
attached for reference.
Pre-Rig Work:
Reference 2-56A Sundry submitted in concert with this request for full details.

3 Service Coil Post rig RPM, CBL, and perforate (~1000) - see extended perf procedure attached.
4 Testing
Portable test separator flowback.
Managed Pressure Drilling:
Managed pressure drilling techniques will be employed on this well. The intent is to provide constant bottom hole
pressure by using minimum 8.4 ppg drilling fluid in combination with annular friction losses and applied surface
pressure. Constant BHP will be utilized to reduce pressure fluctuations to help with hole stability. Applying
annular friction and choke pressure also allow use of lighter drilling fluid and minimizes fluid losses and/or
fracturing at the end of the long well bores. A MPD choke for regulating surface pressure and is independent of
the WC choke.
Deployment of the BHA under trapped wellhead pressure may be necessary. Pressure deployment of the BHA
will be accomplished utilizing BHA pipe/slip rams (see attached BOP configurations). The annular preventer will
act as a secondary containment during deployment and not as a stripper.
Operating parameters and fluid densities will be adjusted based on real-time bottom hole pressure measurements
while drilling and shale behavior. The following scenario is expected:

Operation Details:
Reservoir Pressure:
The estimated reservoir pressure is expected to be 4580 psi at 9700 TVDSS. (9.1 ppg equivalent).
Maximum expected surface pressure with gas (0.10 psi/ft) to surface is 3610 psi (from estimated reservoir
pressure).
Mud Program:
Drilling: Minimum MW of 8.4 ppg KCL with viscosifier for drilling. Managed pressure used to maintain
constant BHP.
Disposal:
All Class l & II non-hazardous and RCRA-exempt drilling and completion fluids will go to GNI at DS 4.
Fluids >1% hydrocarbons or flammables must go to GNI.
Fluids >15% solids by volume must go to GNI.
Fluids with solids that will not pass through 1/4 screen must go to GNI.
Fluids with PH >11 must go to GNI.
Hole Size:
4.25" for shale drilling and 3.25" hole for the entirety of the production hole section.
Liner Program:
3-1/4", 6.6#, L80 pre-perforated: 16,480' MD 16,720 MD (240' liner)
3-1/2", 9.2#, 13Cr solid: 16,105' MD 16,470 MD (365' liner)
2-3/8", 4.6#, 13Cr solid: 16,470' MD 18,300 MD (1830' liner)
The primary barrier for this operation: Kill Weight Fluid to provide overbalance as necessary.
A X-over shall be made up to a safety joint including a TIW valve for all tubulars ran in hole.
20 AAC 25.030 (d)(5) intermediate and production casing must be cemented with sufficient cement to fill the
annular space from the casing shoe to a minimum of 500 feet measured depth or 250 feet true vertical depth,
whichever is greater, above all significant hydrocarbon zones and abnormally geo-pressured strata or, if zonal
coverage is not required under (a) of this section, from the casing shoe to a minimum of 500 feet measured depth
or 250 feet true vertical depth, whichever is greater, above the casing shoe; if indications of improper cementing
exist, such as lost returns, or if the formation integrity test shows an inadequate cement job,
20 AAC 25.030 (c)(5) production casing must be set and cemented through, into, or just above the production
interval;
20 AAC 25.030 (c)(6) slotted liners, pre-perforated liners, and screens installed below a production packer are
considered production equipment and not casing.
The window will be milled and 02-56B kicked off in the HRZ shale at 16,570 MD (9404 TVDss). Records indicate
that 60 bbls of 15.8 Class G cement were pumped behind the 4-1/2 liner in the 02-56A wellbore. No Losses
were reported while cementing.
A CBL run on 02/27/1999 indicates TOC at 16,020 MD. This provides ~550 MD and 328 TVD of lateral cement
isolation behind the 4-1/2 liner just above the top of reservoir.
Hilcorp Requests a variance to 20 AAC 25.412(b): .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.
The current MPI 2-56A packer was set at 15,119 MD. This is ~1593 MD above the predicted top of pool (Sag
River) at 16,715 MD. MPI 2-56A was previously converted to an injector and converted back to a producer
in 2004. No integrity anomalies have been noted on this well. A CBL run on 02/27/1999 indicates TOC at
16,020 MD. This provides ~550 MD and 328 TVD of lateral cement isolation behind the 4-1/2 liner just
above the top of reservoir. In addition, records indicate that 41 bbls of cement was displaced behind the 7
casing with a calculated cement top at ~15,055 MD. No losses were noted in the report while cementing.
Jointed Pipe Work String Program:
1-1/4" CS Hydril, 3.02#, P-110: up to 4,000' MD
1 CS Hydril, 2.25#, P-110: up to 4,000' MD
Used for contingency CTD liner cleanout/logging runs, deployment of perforation guns (if performed by
rig), inner string 2-3/8 liner cement jobs and contingency inner string 2-7/8 liner cement jobs.
Well Control:
BOP diagram is attached. MPD and pressure deployment is planned.
Pipe rams, blind rams and the CT pack off will be pressure tested to 250 psi and to 3,500 psi.
The annular preventer will be tested to 250 psi and 2,500 psi.
1.5 wellbore volumes of KWF will be on location at all times during drilling operations.
A X-over shall be available to be made up to a safety joint, with the same OD as coiled tubing, including a
TIW valve for all tubulars ran in hole.
The safety joint will be utilized while running solid/slotted liner, perforation guns and CS Hydril jointed
pipe. The desire is to keep the same standing orders for the entire liner run and not change shut in
techniques from well to well (run safety joint with pre-installed TIW valve). When closing on a safety joint,
2 sets of pipe/slip rams will be available, above and below the flow cross providing better well control
option.
Hilcorp Requests a variance to 20 AAC 25.036(c)(2)(A)(iv) and that the requirements and privileges
of CO823 be extended to END 02-74A.
CO823 Hilcorp CTD Qualification Blind-Shear Test: CDR2 test on 09/04/2025 (see Hilcorp Alaska
CTD CO823 Qualification report previously sent to AOGCC for more information).
* CO823 Safety Joint Drills: Provide AOGCC opportunity to witness once per well that a CTD liner is
ran.
Directional:
Directional plan attached. Maximum planned hole angle is 91°. Inclination at kick off point is 65°.
Magnetic and inclination surveys will be taken every 30 ft. No gyro will be run.
Distance to nearest property line 200
Distance to nearest well within pool 800'
Logging:
MWD directional, Gamma Ray and Resistivity will be run through the entire open hole section.
Real time bore pressure to aid in MPD and ECD management.
Perforating:
~1000' perforated post rig See attached extended perforating procedure.
1.56" Perf Guns at 6 spf
If post rig extended perforating with service coil is not an option, the well will be perforated with the rig or
post rig under this PTD.
The well will be perforated between the CTD whipstock and TD of the newly drilled CTD well, completely
in the Eider Pool.
Formations: Top of Eider pool at 16,742 MD in the parent

Pre-Rig Service Coil Window Milling
The approved sundry and permit to drill will be posted in the Operations Cabin of the unit during the
entire window milling operation.
Notes for window milling:
Window milling with service CTU operations will fully comply with 20 AAC 25.286(d)(3), including the use
of pressure control equipment, all BHAs fully lubricated and at no point will any BHA be open-hole
deployed.
Window Milling Procedure:
1. Kill well with 1% KCL if necessary. Well may already be killed from previous operations.
2. MU and RIH with window milling assembly Window mill followed by string reamer.
NOTE: Confirm milling BHA configuration prior to job execution due to variations in different service
providers window milling BHAs.
3. RIH & TAG whipstock pinch point, calculate distance till string reamer is out of the window, paint coil flag
and note in WSR.
4. Mill window per vendor procedure. Make note of any WHP changes while milling window in the WSR.
5. Make multiple reciprocating passes through the kickoff point to dress liner exit and eliminate all burs.
Perform gel sweeps as necessary to keep window clean.
Maximum approved distance to reciprocate beyond the window is 15 ft to ensure confidence the window
is prepared for the sidetrack.DO NOT RECIPROCATE DEEPER than 15 ft.
6. Confirm exited liner & string reamer dressed entire window with coil flag and note bottom of window and
total milled depth in WSR.
7. FP well to 2,500 TVD with 60/40 MeOH while POOH.
8. Once on surface inspect BHA, measure OD of mill and string reamer & document in WSR.
9. RDMO
10. Communicate to Operations to tag wing valve Do Not POP.
Pre-Rig Service Coil Window Milling BOP Diagram
Post-Rig Service Coil Perforating Procedure:
Coiled Tubing
Notes:
Due to the necessary open hole deployment of Extended Perforating jobs, 24-hour crew and WSS
coverage is required.
Note: The well will be killed and monitored before making up the initial perfs guns. This will provide
guidance as to whether the well will be killed by bullheading or circulating bottoms up throughout the
job. If pressure is seen immediately after perforating, it will either be killed by bullheading while POOH
or circulating bottoms up through the same port that opened to shear the firing head.
Coil Tubing
1. MIRU Coiled Tubing Unit and spot ancillary equipment.
2. MU nozzle drift BHA (include SCMT and/or RPM log as needed).
3. RIH to PBTD.
a. Displace well with weighted brine while RIH (minimum 9.2 ppg to be overbalanced).
4. POOH (and RPM log if needed) and lay down BHA.
5. After MU MHA and pull testing the CTC, tag-up on the CT stripper to ensure BHA cannot pull through
the brass upon POOH with guns.
6. There will be no perforations to bullhead kill the well. Well will already be loaded w/ weighted brine or KCl
per previous steps. Re-load well at WSS discretion.
7. At surface, prepare for deployment of TCP guns.
8.Confirm well is dead. Bleed any pressure off to return tank. Kill well w/ KWF, weighted brine as needed
(minimum 9.2 ppg). Maintain continuous hole fill taking returns to tank until lubricator connection is
reestablished. Fluids man-watch must be performed while deploying perf guns to ensure the well
remains killed and there is no excess flow.
9.Pickup safety joint and TIW valve and space out before MU guns.Review well control steps with crew
prior to breaking lubricator connection and commencing makeup of TCP gun string. Once the safety joint
and TIW valve have been spaced out, keep the safety joint/TIW valve readily accessible near the working
platform for quick deployment if necessary.
10. Break lubricator connection at QTS and begin makeup of TCP guns and blanks per schedule below.Max
BHA length per PTD is 500ft. Fluids man-watch must be performed while deploying perf guns to ensure
the well remains killed and there is no excess flow.
a. Perforation details
i.Perf Interval:The well will be perforated between the CTD whipstock and TD of the
newly drilled CTD well, completely in the Eider pool.
ii.Perf Length:500
iii.Gun Length:500
iv.Weight of Guns (lbs):2300lbs (4.6ppf)
11. MU lubricator and RIH with perf gun and tie-in to coil flag correlation. Pickup and perforate perforation
intervals (TBD). POOH.
a. Note any tubing pressure change in WSR.
12. After perforating, PUH to top of liner or into tubing tail to ensure debris doesnt fall in on the guns and
stick the BHA.Confirm well is dead and re-kill if necessary before pulling to surface.
13. Pump pipe displacement while POOH.Stop at surface to reconfirm well dead and hole full.
14. Review well control steps with crew prior to breaking lubricator connection and commencing breakdown of
TCP gun string. Standing orders flow chart included with this sundry request. Ensure safety joint and TIW
valve assembly are on-hand before breaking off lubricator to LD gun BHA.
15. Freeze protect well to 2,000 TVD.

Steve,
2-56B will not be pre-produced, just at brief post drilling and completion well cleanup. Let me know
if you have any other questions.

Subject: [EXTERNAL] DUCK IS UNIT MPI 2-56B (PTD 226-002) - Question
Ryan,
I'm reviewing Hilcorp's Sundry Application for the planned DUCK IS UNIT MPI 2-56B injector
and I have a question. Will this well be pre-produced for an extended period, or will it be
simply flowed back briefly for cleanup?
Thanks and Be Well,
Steve Davies
