Bryan,
Below are replies to your conditions of approval for drilling out of the Surface Casing Shoe through
Intermediate I TD.
1. As-built BOP stack diagram, including MPD. There are some inconsistencies among the
documents, including kill/choke side outlet location
3
Two stack configurations, both now including the MPD. Two different DSAs will be used to accommodate
the added height of the tubing spool. The tubing spool will be added after the 11-7/8” casing has been
run and cemented.
2. & 3.) Please see attachments.
4. We are committed to performing kick while tripping and kick while drilling drills in the time
outlined in request #4 below. The drills will be documented in our wellview and IADC reports for
documentation purposes.
We will address the Intermediate I drill our requirements in subsequent emails as the above information
should be sufficient to satisfy drilling the 14-1/2” section.

Jacob,
Before approving a variance to 20 AAC 25.035(e)(3) & (5), the AOGCC needs additional assurance that Hilcorp’s plan will be at least equally effective in preventing loss of well control, as allowed in 20 AAC 25.035(h)(1).
Condition of approval #7 in the approved PTD requires variance approval before drilling out of the surface casing shoe. The AOGCC will conditionally defer the variance approval timing, allowing Hilcorp to drill 14-1/2” hole intermediate 1 section before receiving variance approval because the MPSP of the
intermediate 1 hole section is below the rated working pressure of the 7500 psi well control equipment.
Conditions of approval:
Before Drill out of surface casing shoe please provide the following:
1. As-built BOP stack diagram, including MPD. There are some inconsistencies among the documents, including kill/choke side outlet location.
2. BOP spec sheet and certifications.
3. Valid Well control certificates for drillers, assistant drillers and toolpushers, and anyone authorized to shut the well in.
4. Perform kick while drilling or kick while tripping drill. Each subsequent crew shall perform a well control drill before the end of their first tour after drilling out the surface casing shoe. Well control drills to be performed on a regular basis thereafter to ensure crews are ready to respond to a well control
event.
Before Drill out of Intermediate 1 hole section, Hilcorp must obtain variance approval from AOGCC of 20 AAC 25.035(e)(3) & (5). The AOGCC’s minimum expectations for approving a variance are as follows:
1. Provide a step by step procedure for rigging up, lining up valves and pumping for the following scenarios:
a. Pumping down the kill line when pressure exceeds the working pressure of the mud pump (limited to 5500 psi by the liners in the pump). Include P&ID indicating spec breaks and isolation valves.
b. Pumping down the standpipe when the pressure exceeds the working pressure of the mud pump (limited to 5500 psi by the liners in the pump). Include P&ID indicating spec breaks and isolation valves.
c. Pumping down the standpipe when pressure exceeds the rated working pressure of the existing standpipe, mud pumps and top drive (limited to 7500 psi by the top drive and standpipe). Include P&ID indicating spec breaks and isolation valves.
2. Describe trigger points for swapping to each of the above 3 scenarios.
3. A 10,000 psi pump and piping shall be rigged up and pressure tested to 10,000 psi to react to scenarios 1a & 1b before drilling out of the Intermediate 1 casing shoe. The 10,000 psi equipment shall remain rigged up for the duration of the well, until BOP stack is removed.
4. The 10,000 psi pump and piping shall be rigged up as much as practicable for scenario 1c before drilling out the Intermediate 1 casing shoe. Include P&ID showing what will be rigged up ahead of time. The 10,000 psi equipment shall remain rigged up for the duration of the well, until BOP stack is
removed.
5. A drill which includes rigging up the alternate standpipe to the top of the drillstring shall be conducted to verify that all components are readily available in the event this is required. AOGCC shall be given 48 hrs notice for an opportunity to witness the drill. Verify that enough 10,000 psi rated rotary
hose is available to reach the top of the drill string if the scenario were to occur with a full stand of drillpipe above the rig floor. All crews to be familiar with the procedure, however the equipment must be rigged up only once.
6. Verify that the 10k rig up and piping is compliant with API RP 53.
7. AOGCC written authorization to proceed.

Jacob,
The HP Mud system schematic 1-25-26-PTU-19.pdf shows the 10k cement line ties into the 7500 psi standpipe line via the Tee at the Kill line hookup. I’m assuming this is the diagram for normal drilling operations.
Yes this will be hooked up prior to drilling out the INT I casing shoe.
The HP Mud schematic - Rig 15 – Contingency.pdf diagram doesn’t show any IBOP of FOSV in the drill string, or what’s above the SLB pump-in sub.
The FOSV and IBOP will be installed in the drill string below the pump in sub. They are not shown in the diagram but are part of the standing orders for shutting in the well and will be in place.

Bryan,
Below are my responses:
Please indicate which 10k psi line will be connected to the drillstring in the diagram? I’ve highlighted in yellow the 7500 psi lines that I can see, please indicate if there are other low pressure lines that I missed.
The drill string 10k line was not shown in the PNID below. We provided a Rig 15 PTU-19 Well Control Contingency Piping Plan that showed a direct connection from the cement unit to the drill pipe on the rig floor. We are having Doyon create a more comprehensive PNID that shows the contingency hard line
connecting the drill pipe and a tee over to the kill line. I edited the Rig 15 PTU-19 Well Control Contingency Piping Plan to show the Tee and how it will connect to the Kill line.
This should clarify things. The only “low” pressure line you did not highlight is the external hook up to the cement standpipe which is also 7,500 psi rated.
How will this be done if the top drive is 80’ in the air with drill bit on bottom?
In case of a well control event with top drive 80' in the air, we would space out (putting us at 90') shut in as normal regardless of 7500 or 10k surface equipment. Send floorhand up in a riding belt and shut lower IBOP. We would then break out of lower IBOP and blow down top drive. R/U head pin to Lower
IBOP along with 10k pumping equipment from floor (HP hose). We would tie in a hose to either our rig hp mud system or SLB 10k pumping equipment depending on psi (not both). This is the process to shut the well in on most North Slope rigs (minus the ones with windwalls to crown) in reaction to a well
control event at the top of a stand. The only difference between standard operating procedures and our Point Thomson rig up is the 10k line up.
One thing to note is that we will have two non-ported drill string floats in the string and actively drilling with MPD. Although the floats are not a barrier they certainly are a mitigating measure preventing flow up the drill pipe. The RCD and Choke effectively shut in the well every connection allowing us to test the
drill string floats integrity, mitigate the risk of annular flow, and decrease kick response times.
What is the triggering event that would initiate the swap to the cement line on the drill string?
The triggering event would be if surface psi was to exceed 5500 psi (500 psi buffer from popoffs set for our planned liner size). We would then transition from our 7500 psi system to 10k system potentially using the volumetric method to manage BHP while transition takes place.
The likelihood of Circulating out a kick with > 5,500 psi drill string pressure is extremely low. The drill string should remain full of fluid during a well control situation, and bottom hole pressure should not exceed the maximum reservoir pressure. These facts would lead to the assumption that unless the drill
string is partially evacuated, the drillpipe pressure will remain within the capability of the 5,500 psi limitation.
Our planned response is to initiate bullheading through the kill line where an influx’s annular surface pressure will be > 5,000 psi. This will be the best way to regain well control and stay under the surface pressure system of the rig. If an event occurs where the surface pressure exceeds 5,000 psi response
will be to hook up the cement unit to the kill line and bullhead the influx back into the reservoir.
Out of an abundance of caution we will have the capability to swap over to our cement unit for high pressure pumping for both the drill string and annulus. The most likely scenario is that we will only use the kill line.

Jake,
CAUTION: This email originated from outside the State of Alaska mail system. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe.
In reviewing this PTD, the variance referred to in Condition 7 is 20 AAC 25.035(e)(3) & (5).
Several questions
1. How will you keep the lines to and from the cement pump from freezing? Heat trace?
The lines will remain blown down and capped until needed. Air will also be blown through it on a daily basis. No different than the standpipe circulating system on the rig that is exposed to the elements in the derrick. The drilling fluid is OBM and has a pour point of ~-30F so we should not have a concern with
freezing the lines.
2. In bullet # 5, did you intend to say “prior to drilling out Intermediate 1 liner”? Was it a typo where it says prior to drilling Intermediate 2? It should be prior to drilling intermediate 1 as I understand.
It was a typo. All of the well control contingency equipment will be rigged up prior to drilling out of the Intermediate I casing shoe.
3. Is the hardline in bullet #5 compliant with 20 AAC 25.035(e)(6)? It needs to be.
Yes.
4. Will the high pressure cement line have some kind of non-return valve or be connected above the IBOP?
It will be connected above the IBOP.
5. In bullet #6, after taking a kick and shutting in, is it Hilcorp’s intention to disconnect the drill string from the top drive with pressure on the drillstring, then install a pump in sub and hammer up hardline before performing a well kill? It’s hard to understand how you can do all this after you get into a well
control situation. While this is happening, gas can be migrating and pressures coming up, approaching frac. You are breaking connections with potential pressure below. During a well control situation is not when you want to be making up pipework.
Should there be a well control event while drilling that requires the use of the 10,000psi pumping system, the Top Drive Lower Kelly valve would be closed and the connection above it broken, the Top Drive picked up out of the way, the FOSV, IBOP and Head pin installed to secure the well. After the well was
secured the cement line will be connected. Please indicate which 10k psi line will be connected to the drillstring in the diagram? I’ve highlighted in yellow the 7500 psi lines that I can see, please indicate if there are other low pressure lines that I missed. The majority of the cement line will be rigged up and
ready for use prior to drilling out the shoe. Hard line will need to be run from the rig floor to the BOP mezzanine through one of the mouse holes on the rig floor. Thie is a short run of pipe. The hard line will then tie into the head pin on the drill pipe. How will this be done if the top drive is 80’ in the air with drill
bit on bottom? This cement line rig up would be done concurrently while formal notifications are made, wellbore pressures recorded, and the kill plan is developed. Bottom hole pressure would be kept constant using the Volumetric Method if gas migration was noted while the cement line was rigged up.
In order for the surface pressure to exceed the rig’s 7,500 psi standpipe pressure rating an extremely large column of gas would be required. Any other well control event that is shut in below the calculated kick tolerance for the hole section would be circulated out using either the Drillers Method or Wait and
Weight both of which would not require any change to the standard circulating path. What is the triggering event that would initiate the swap to the cement line on the drill string? In any event the gas begins to migrate the bottom hole pressure would be kept constant using the Volumetric Method until well
kill operations can commence.
6. The diagram doesn’t show where the spec breaks are in the piping system. What isolates the low-pressure rig system from the high pressure on the kill and choke side of the BOP flow cross? Where is the spec break in the top drive from 10k to 7.5k?
Please see attached PNID for isolation valves and pressure rating on lines. The red arrow depicts the Upper and Lower Kelly Valves which will be tested to 10,000psi on the initial test. Above the Kelly valve is the 7,500psi rated system. The red circled valve junction shows where the 10,000psi Kill line is
isolated from the 7,500psi rated system. A three way block will be installed up stream of the non-return valves on the Kill Line and the cement unit will be hooked up to it as well. This line would only be used to bullhead kill the well as a last resort.
7. Rig book shows page 24 shows kill lines are 5000 psi. Is that correct?
Please see attached PNID for pressure values and flow paths. An updated Rig Ebook is also attached.

Mel / Bryan,
Hilcorp would like to formally request a variance as required by condition of approval 7 of the approved PTD.
The below variance is to establish Hilcorp’s readiness to conduct well kill operations, in the event, that a well control scenario arises where the maximum anticipated surface pressure exceeded the rig’s standpipe pressure rating of 7,500 psi. The below contingency equipment will be set in place prior to the
drilling of the Intermediate II section and remained rigged up for the duration of the well. The attached piping plan outlines what is described in the below plan.
A SLB cement unit will be fed from the rigs low pressure mud system from the gun line connection in the cellar using the existing hard line that is connecting our tank farm.
A hose will tie into the suction end of the cement pump to supply fluid from the rig.
The rigs transfer pump will be used to supply the fluid to the cement unit.
Both sack and bulk barite will be available on location in order to increase the mud density by 1.0 ppg on site at all times. The Prudhoe Bay MI Swaco mud plant is connected via ice road and will be on call to mix and supply additional KWF if nessisary. 1,600 bbls of fluid capacity will be available in the
PTU tank farm in addition to the rigs active system.
An independent 2” 10kpsi rated hard line (~260’) will be run from the cementing unit currently adjacent to the rig. The line will come in through the cellar, up through the rig floor, and tie directly into the drill pipe string with a pump in sub on top of the FOSV. The hard line will be assembled all the way to
the BOP Mezzanine level prior to drilling out of the Intermediate II liner shoe to aid in timely response and fast rig up of the contingency equipment.
The line coming from the cementers will not tie into the rigs high pressure mud system at anytime, but will transfer mud directly down the drill string to perform well kill operations.
Please let me know if you would like more details.

7.) Variance request and AOGCC approval required before drilling below surface casing shoe describing surface piping diagram and the rated working pressure on high pressure pump in equipment. A clear explanation to be included describing how SLB 10,000 psi would be utilized to avoid 7500 psi existing
piping on Doyon 15.
The Intermediate I hole section has a MASP of < 3,500 psi assuming a gas gradient to surface with fracture gradient of 15.5 ppg applied at the shoe. As mentioned in previous correspondence, we plan to have a SLB cement unit with 10,000 psi pumping capability on location for sections that have a MASP
potential greater than the rig’s 7,500 psi standpipe pressure rating. We are finalizing contingency well kill procedures to utilize the cementing unit. With MASP of INTI we are clarifying that this equipment does not have to be rigged up prior to drilling out of the 14-1/2” intermediate I hole section. The
equipment will be rigged up prior to the 9-7/8” x 11-3/4” Intermediate II section and remain for the duration of the well where MASP has the potential to exceed our standpipe pressure rating. We will formally request the required Variance and provide the well kill procedure and rig up plan next week. The
cement unit is on location and will remain there for the duration of the well. This request is that we do not have to have the hardline rigged up for INTI.

Bryan,
As discussed on the call we would like to receive permission to proceed with the
following order of operations prior to the AOGCC witnessed BOP test.
Current rig status: 16-3/4” BOPE has been nippled up and shell tested to 5,000 psi
annular, 10,000 psi rams. This was conducted ahead of AOGCC notification due to this
being the first time the rental stack was being used. AOGCC notification has been made
for the full bop test. The following order of operations are requested to maintain rig
efficiency.
1. MU 14-1/2” bit and bit sub.
Barriers in place: 10.0 ppg KWF, Tested 16” surface casing 3,500 psi (pressure
monitored since end of surface section).
2. RIH with bit and tag float collar.
3. Drop Gyro. (Gyro will resurvey surface casing to determine if high DLS in shallow
potion is still present after casing installation.)
4. POOH and lay down BHA and receive gyro.
5. Commence with BOPE test per approved PTD.
Thank you and let me know if you have any questions.

Re: Application for Permit to Drill
Hilcorp North Slope, LLC
PTU-19
Dear Sir/Madam,
The PTU-19 well is scheduled to be drilled by Doyon 15. This grassroots well is a producer targeting the
Thomson Sand from Central pad in the PTU unit. The planned well is a 4 string design using a 16”
surface casing, 11-7/8” intermediate casing, 9-7/8” drilling liner, and 5-1/2” open hole gravel pack
completion. The Target for surface hole spud is November 15th. The surface casing will be set in a shale
within the OG75. The intermediate casing will be set in the pressure transition zone in the EO25 / PA25,
Intermediate II section will be set at the top of the Thomson sand, and the production interval will be
completed with a ~1,000’ open hole gravel pack completion across the Thomson Sand. A 7” tubing string
will stab into the lower completion’s seal bore.
The maximum anticipated surface pressure from the Thomson Sand with a full column of gas from TD to
surface is 7,992 psi (assumes 10,040 psi pore pressure 12,952’ TVD and a 0.158 psi/ft rich reservoir gas
gradient). The well will be drilled by Doyon 15 using a 10,000 psi 3 ram BOP stack and 5,000 psi annular
preventer. The BOP rams will be tested to 8,500 psi, and annular 5,000 psi.
A detailed operations summary is included with the permit application.
If there are any questions concerning information on PTU-19, please do not hesitate to use the contact

14. Discussion of Mud and Cuttings Disposal and Annular Disposal
20 AAC 25.005 (c) (14)
A general description of how the operator plans to dispose of drilling mud and cuttings and a statement of
whether the operator intends to request authorization under 20 AAC 25.080 for an annular disposal
operation in the well.
Due to the remote location a temporary cutting storage pit will be constructed at PTU west pad. Surface
hole drilled cuttings, water based drilling fluid, and cement returns will be stored in the cuttings
containment cell. Once the ice road is complete the cuttings will be transferred and disposed of at the
Prudhoe G&I on DS4. Once the ice road is completed drilling mud and cuttings will be hauled offsite as it is
generated via truck. If considered necessary, liquids may be injected into the PTU-DW1 well. It is more likely
that that DW-01 would only be used to dispose of clear fluids.
There is no intention to request authorization under 20 AAC 25.080 for any annular disposal operation in
the well.
15. Proposed Variance Request
20AAC25.35 Secondary well control for primary drilling and completion: blowout prevention equipment and diverter
requirements.h) (2) from the diverter system requirements in (c) of this section if the variance provides at least
equally effective means of diverting flow away from the drill rig or if drilling experience in the near vicinity indicates
that a diverter is not necessary
A diverter vent line variance is requested for the PTU-19 surface hole section. Hilcorp has conducted internal risk
assessments and determined that the risk of needing to use a diverter is negligible and operationally could pose an
increased HSE risk. PTU-19 surface hole is surrounded by 4 existing surface holes at the PTU Central Pad location.
Additionally, PTU-16 and PTU-03 have surface TD locations ~600’ and 1300’ away, see the diagram below.
23 wells have been drilled in the Point Thomson Unit over the last 55 years with no signs or indications of shallow
free gas above the OG75 to surface. There are 19 Exploration and Appraisal wells and 4 development wells. The
shallowest hydrocarbon bearing zones encountered in the Point Thomson Unit are in the Brookian at 6,600’ TVD.
This is significantly deeper than the PTU-19 surface casing point. W-Staines-01 is the shallowest tested brookian
sand, which made trace oil at –10,512 SSTVD. However, mudlog and log shows below the Mikkelsen marker have
indicated tar to a shallowest depth at Central Pad of –6,827 sstvd in PTU-03. The presence of tar could suggest the
migration of mobile hydrocarbons through the area at some point in time and could still be a risk if depth
uncertainty were a greater concern. PTU-03 did not encounter any productive hydrocarbon bearing zones until
entering the Thomson sand at –12,659 sstvd. PTU-16 is our closest offset well, for the surface hole section. It also
did not contain any productive hydrocabon zones until entering the Thomson sand at –12754 sstvd. PTU-16 did
contain elevated gas readings, minor fluorescence, and cuts in siltstones and shales at –7946 sstvd. Siltstones and
shales are considered to be non-productive rocks and formation tests in these intervals were bypassed at the time
of drilling. To remain conservative, we chose the Mikkelsen as the top of the hydrocarbon bearing zone. Still, all of
the above zones are considerably deeper than the planned surface hole TD of -4469 SSTVD.
The objective of the surface casing point is to drill the 20” hole section to the predominately silty / shaley interval
below the base of the OG40 and above the top of the OG75. This is the equivalent stratigraphic section where
surface casing was set in PTU-15, PTU-16, PTU-DW1, and PTU-17. During this time period, there have been zero
well control events above the OG75 formation. There is very low structural uncertainty and a high confidence with
the OG40 and OG40 base markers given the proximity and number of wells already drilled in the area. The area
properly calibrated, fully and continuously functioning, recording, and monitored while drilling from spud to surface casing point. SFD

around Central Pad is covered by 3D seismic data that is of adequate quality without gaps and obvious noise trains
or shallow velocity anomalies. At the projected surface hole TD we expect the seismic to have a minimal depth
uncertainty of +/-45’. The close proximity to PTU-03 and PTU-16 further de-risk the seismic depth uncertainty.
There are no observed faults in the vicinity of this hole section for the PTU-19 well.
The second closest offset well, PTU-3, set surface casing at a shallower depth. PTU-3 drilled the interval next to
PTU-19’s casing point with a full logging suite as well as mud logging. PTU-3’s mud log shows minimal total gas
readings from surface to the OG75, and no productive hydrocarbon zones in the overburden. The closest offset
well, PTU-16, also drilled the interval next to PTU-19's casing point with mud logs from 152’-TD. PTU-16's mud log
shows minimal total gas readings and no hydrocarbon shows from cuttings from surface to the OG75.
PTU-19 surface casing will be set immediately after the OG40 base is identified on GR. This is to ensure a good
shale for the subsequent Intermediate I FIT / LOT integrity. Hydrates have not been encountered on offset wells,
but Hilcorp will implement drilling practices to effectively manage any hydrates encountered while drilling surface
hole as follows: (1) Mitigate breakout potential: keep mud temperature cool, no extended circulation at any point
in the well, optimized drilling and tripping strategies (2) Identify hydrates (i.e. bubbles in the flow both with no
signs of pit gain or flow from the well). (3) Handle hydrates at surface (i.e. utilization of degasser and isolation of
gas-cut mud in the pits). (4) Drilling practices (i.e. controlling pump rates and maximizing ROP to get through a
hydrate zone).
Doyon 15’s current diverter line would need to be on the ground level and need to be routed beneath the flowlines
and pipe racks, passing through support pilings. Using a diverter will increase HSE risk associated with putting them
in place.
With the multiple well penetrations at the PTU Central Pad, no free gas above the OG75, the strong geologic
understanding, and low structural uncertainty, combined with the increased HSE risks and challenges of running a
larger diverter line, it is requested that a diverter variance for PTU-19 be granted.

20 AAC 25.033.(b)(1)(A) Primary well control for drilling: drilling fluid program and drilling fluid system.
(a) A drilling operation must be equipped with a drilling fluid system meeting the requirements of this section,
unless the commission determines that a drilling fluid system is not necessary for primary well control. The operator
shall submit with an application for a Permit to Drill (Form 10-401) a proposed drilling fluid program and a diagram
with a list of equipment for a drilling fluid system designed to prevent the loss of primary well control. The drilling
fluid system must be designed to maintain the wellbore in overbalanced condition except as otherwise provided
under (i) of this section. A drilling operation is also subject to the requirements of 20 AAC 25.527.
(b) A drilling fluid program and drilling fluid system intended to maintain the wellbore in overbalanced condition
must be designed to provide and maintain (1) a drilling fluid (A) of sufficient density to overbalance the pressure of
uncased formations penetrated; and (B) with rheological properties designed to (i) minimize the potential of a
hydrostatic pressure surge or swab when the drilling assembly is run into or pulled out of the wellbore; and (ii)
enhance the drop-out of solids and the escape of entrained gas; and
A variance is requested for the requirement to have a static fluid column as the primary barrier during a discrete
portion of the Intermediate I drilling operation. A combination of hydrostatic pressure and choke pressure will be
used to provide overbalance while drilling to TD in the Intermediate I hole sections. The technique is called
Managed Pressure Drilling. The MPD system will be used to apply surface pressure back pressure to keep the open
hole formation in an overbalanced state. In the event an influx occurs it is to be circulated out per conventional
well kill protocols through the BOPE, not thorough the MPD system.
MPD equipment:
x MPD Dual Choke
o MPD Control Consol
o Coriolis Flowmeter
x MPD Remote Control Panel
x RCD Body
x RCD Bearing assembly with Sealing Elements
x Various piping and isolation valves.
MPD layout: Attached
Planned Overbalance while drilling: 100 -180 psi
Maximum expected choke pressure (static fluid column): 12.0 ppg MW, 12.5 ppg reservoir pressure at 11,000’ TVD
(TD), 12.7 ppg bottom hole pressure.
Influx management: Rig crew to monitor flow and pit levels per standard operations. Rig crew to shut in per
standard operations (no change to standing orders). Any influx will be managed conventionally. Use of the Coriolis
flow meter enhances kick detection, with increased accuracy of return flow and density readings when compared
to conventional methods. In addition, mud loggers will be trending gas readings at surface, flow back on
connections, and cuttings characteristics to help identify signs of abnormal pressure. The application of
backpressure can be immediately applied through the automated choke allowing an influx to be stopped while the
standard shut in orders are carried out, as opposed to allowing the well to flow until the BOPE are functioned.
Application of MPD is industry recognized as a enhancement in well control response as compared to conventional
overbalanced drilling practices.

the pump is shut down. On the job training, as the first ~5,000’ of the Intermediate I hole section will be drilled
with overbalanced fluid. MPD will only be used to conduct drills and hone operational efficiencies, to build crew
competency. Weekly kick while drilling drills while using the MPD system will be conducted including, RCD failure,
Choke Washout, flow / pit increase, and float string failure.

There are no 16-3/4” Annular Preventors that are rated for 10,000 psi, so a 5,000 psi Annular Preventor
has been sourced for PTU-19. The following measures will be put in place for use of the 5,000 psi annular
preventor on the PTU-19 well.
1. Initial shut in procedures will specify that the 10,000 psi pipe rams be shut in on the tubular in the
hole as the first response.
a. Where applicable, safety joint will be readily available to crossover to the tubular being
run to drill pipe that fits the ram configuration.
2. If stripping into the hole is required, the surface pressure will not exceed the rated working
pressure of the annular. In the event surface pressure is approaching the rated working pressure.
Operations will cease, the pipe rams will be closed, and the influx will be removed with BOPE
rated to withstand the pressure. Once the influx is removed, and surface pressure is below 5,000
psi the annular preventer may be used again to strip into the well.
3. The Annular preventer will be tested to full rated working pressure of 5,000 psi on each BOP test.
Doyon 15 has a 7,500 psi standpipe pressure rating for its circulating system. The 7,500 psi standpipe
pressure rating will have sufficient surface pressure rating to handle most drilling well control scenarios. A
cementing unit will be stationed on location in the event a scenario should arise that requires a higher
pressure rating than the rig can offer. The SLB cementing unit and accompanying hardline will be
equipped with 10,000 psi surface pressure rating.

Attachment 3: Drilling Hazards
20” Surface Hole Section
Hazard Mitigations
Hole Cleaning AVs are low in surface hole due to the large hole diameter and
desire to reduce mud temperature while drilling. Utilizing a
thixotropic fluid and maintaining tight viscosity parameter will aid
in successfully cleaning the hole.
Running Gravels Offset wells have experienced running gravels. Utilize thixotropic
mixed metal oxide (MMO) drilling fluid with improved suspension
capabilities.
Inadvertent sidetracking in
the Permafrost
Utilize a staged approach to work tight spots while running in the
hole in the permafrost. Do not ream into the hole unless it is a last
resort.
Tight Hole/Stuck Pipe Conduct wiper trip if required, drilling jars included in BHA,
monitor torque and drag trends, use sufficient mud weight.
Pack Off During Cementing Clean up well bore at TD, and prior to running casing. Stage
circulation rates up following circulation schedule circulate
bottoms up at multiple depths to condition mud the way in the
hole. Circulate at TD to planned cementing rates and ensure hole
is clean. Keep circulation rates below drilling ECDs, model
accordingly, low displacement rates.
14-1/2” Intermediate I Hole Section
Hazard Mitigations
Hole Cleaning Maintain rheology of mud system, 6 rpm value greater than hole
diameter. Maintain flow rates of 200 ft/min AV, 120 rpm. Do not
out drill ability to clean the hole. Montior ECD trends reduce ROP
if signs are seen of insufficient hole cleaning.
Lost Circulation / Breathing Each offset development well has experienced losses in the
Intermediate hole. Losses have not been experienced while
drilling, but rather while running and cementing casing. Cement
objectives have been achieved despite the losses. While drilling
MPD will be used to minimize pressure fluctuations and overall
ECDs. During casing running limit the speed to mitigate surge
losses. Have cement bond log ready for deployment in case the
losses are experienced. Utilize flat rheology mud to reduce surge
pressure and mud temperature affects.
Tight Hole/Stuck Pipe Conduct wiper trip if required, drilling jars included in BHA,
monitor torque and drag trends, use sufficient mud weight / back-
pressure to hold back formations – MPD to maintain CBHP. Follow
MW recommendations from Geomechanics work.
One Way Casing Trip Pick up weights for the 11-7/8” casing run will exceed rig
capability causing the trip to be one way. Ensure optimal hole
conditions prior to running the 11-7/8” casing. Monitor PU trends
prior to one way trip point to determine if TD can be reached.

Well Control / Drilling Close
to Pore Pressure
Intermediate I casing point will be selected based on a response
to the pore pressure. Nearing TD the well will be drilled with a
MW < pore pressure, and require application of surface back
pressure through the MPD choke. Mud logging readings will aid in
determining when to increase BHP to maintain overbalance. KWF
will be on location and readily available to weight up at TD (>1 ppg
over static MW). Upon the detection of pit gain the surface back
pressure will be increased to maximum safe operating limit. If an
influx is identified the rig’s normal shut in procedure will
commence closing the BOP. Any influx will be circulated out via
the conventional well control equipment.

~0.5 then increases above 1.0 by 15,500' MD. The entire interval of potential collision is
cemented or has a cement retainer between intervals. The potential collision point's pore
pressure will be controlled with the planned mud weight. The presence of cement and retainers
in the offset wellbore reduces the risk of lost circulation at the collision points. PTU-3 is an
exploration well drilled in late 1977. The well was plugged and abandoned after well testing.
PTU-3 used primitive directional tools therefore its error ellipse is very large. PTU-3’s center to

PTU-19
14 ½” Intermediate Hole Section TD Protocol
Objective
Drill the 14 ½” hole section deep enough to attain a minimum FIT > 17.2 ppge (ECD management), for drilling of
the 10-1/2” x 12-1/4” INTII section to TD. The predicted casing point is 12,473’ MD / 10,946’ TVDss.
Identified Geologic Hazards
x Based on the PTU-19I PPFG it is anticipated that pore pressure will begin to ramp up at ~8,120 TVDss
Criteria for Picking TD in Intermediate Hole
Depth uncertainty is high and confidence in well to well correlations in the abnormally pressured section is
expected to be low, so a pressure hunt based on drilling parameters and well log responses will be conducted.
Drilling will cease and the PTU Pressure Hunt Team, both onsite and offsite, will discuss calling TD when any
one of the following criteria has been met:
1. Wellbore parameters indicate the pore pressure is approaching 12.5 ppg EMW as determined by
pressure hunt drilling criteria.
2. Severe losses or other adverse wellbore conditions are encountered
3. The maximum depth to be drilled to is 11,331’ TVDss, or when the PA25 Callaway maker has been
reached.
Note: From the EO25 down to the anticipated section TD, the confidence in correlations with offset wells
is expected to be low.
Recommended Drilling and Surveillance Practices
x Monitor changes in LWD GR-RES data, as well as changes in drilling parameters, particularly mud
gases (background, connection, trip), that could indicate increasing formation pressure. The bit-to-LWD
sensor distances are:
Near bit GR: ~12’
Gamma Ray: ~37'
Resistivity: ~36'
Sensor distance are subject to changes in final BHA design.
x Provide photos of any unusual cuttings / cavings.
x Static MW is to be increased to 12.0 ppg by 9,300’ TVDss
x With 12.0 ppg static MW obtain baseline gas readings while drilling ahead.
x Consider no more than two real connections in the hole before circulating out. This may be reduced to
1/2 connection in the hole as indicators of increasing pore pressure are first observed.
x Simulated connections and extended shutdowns are recommended when possible indications of
increasing pressure are observed (see parameters to monitor below.)
x If there are concerns, perform flow check and / or circulate out any drilling breaks.
x As surface gas readings (connection gas, background gas, and drilled gas) increase indicating the pore
pressure is approaching mud weight, increase the bottom hole pressure by applying surface back
pressure through the MPD choke on connections. Surface back pressure increases will target 0.2 ppg
incremental increases in bottom hole pressure (BHP).
x When the BHP is equal to 12.4 ppg, and the gas readings indicate the pore pressure is approaching the
BHP, increase the mud systems static mud density to 12.5 ppg EMW.
x Drill to section TD holding 12.6 ppg BHP with a static MW of 12.5 ppg. Monitor surface gas readings to
determine when PP approaches the 12.6 ppg BHP.
o While drilling down to TD perform simulated connections at a minimum of every 30’ TVD
drilled to limit potential of pore pressure increases.
x Once TD is confirmed perform an extended flow check with 12.6 ppg EMW BHP. After completion of the
flowcheck increase MW to 12.7 ppg prior to POOH.
PTU-19
14 ½” Intermediate Hole Section TD Protocol
Note: At any time, the onsite pressure surveillance team can request drilling be stopped to check flow. If
circulating bottoms up is recommended, they will inform the rig supervisor
Parameters to Monitor
x Gas Units:
o Background Gas (BGG) – Liberated during drilling, signifies gas bearing zone.
o Connection Gas (CG) – Consistent relative increases may signify nearing MW/PP balance.
o Trip Gas (TG) – Increases in gas entering hole when pumps are off may indicate static MW
nearing PP.
o Short Trip Gas (STG) – Same as above
x LWD conductivity: Looking for consistent relative decrease in measurement
x Lithology: Change to a higher porosity/permeability lithology that has the potential to flow if
underbalanced.
x Torque and Drag: Increases could indicate wellbore instability, due to insufficient MW
x Cuttings: Looking for relative change in amount, size and / or shape of cuttings coming across shakers,
i.e. increase in size, splintered or propeller shape.
x Flowline Temperature In/Out: Abnormal increase in flowline temperature out could indicate formation
fluid flow into wellbore.
x Flowline Chlorides In/Out: Increase in chlorides coming out compared to what is going in, is an
indication of brine formation water flow into wellbore.
x Fill on Connections: Increased bottom fill at connection may signify borehole instability when mud
pumps are off, i.e. static MW + MPD back pressure is nearing PP.
Onsite Team
x Company Man: Onsite team leader.
x Wellsite Geologists: Plot and interpret parameters, maintain correlation with offsets, and QC of LWD
and mud logging data.
x Rig Site Drilling Engineer: Plot and interpret parameters, maintain correlation with offsets, QC of
drilling mechanics. Distribute progress reports as necessary.
x Mudlogger: Measure and record gas, ROP, lithology, and other abnormal pressure parameters. Notify
onsite team of sudden changes in monitored parameters.
x MWD Engineer: Prepare MWD/LWD logs
x Directional Driller: Plan BHA's to place the LWD as close to the bit as possible allowing for the
required directional control.
x Toolpusher: Support Drilling Superintendent by leading the rig crews (safety, equipment maintenance,
alertness, etc.).
x Driller: Rig floor leader. Maintain constant WOB/RPM and be alert to drill breaks (flow checks) and
wellbore conditions. Work with the MWD engineer to avoid washouts in the unlogged portion of the hole
while circulating.
x Shaker Hand: Maintain surveillance of the flowline during trips and connections (flow) and of the
cuttings size and volume while drilling (pressured shale).
x MPD Choke Operator: Monitor return flow (micromotion), choke function, MPD choke back pressure
and communicate with rig team during ramp up and down on connections.
Offsite Team
x Drilling Manager: Offsite Management
x PTU Drilling Engineer: Communicate with onsite drilling personnel and offsite Operations Geologist.
x PTU Operations Geologist: Review/interpret parameters obtained from the field and communicate
with Wellsite Geologists, , Drilling Engineer(s), and PTU Subsurface Team. Manage subsurface
management interactions.
Communication
PTU-19
14 ½” Intermediate Hole Section TD Protocol
x Depth adjustments will be communicated to Drilling from the Operations Geologist. The Operations
Geologist will communicate changes in drilling parameters from Drilling to the PTU Subsurface team.
x All town support staff will maintain availability during pressure hunt and have open communication with
the rig team.
x PTU Drilling Engineer will decide when casing point has been reached, after consultation with all
relevant personnel.

I am checking to see if this spacer is actually 11.0 ppg. Would this underbalance to pore pressure

Mel,
The measured wet gas gradient from PTU-17 has a range from 0.138 psi/ft to 0.165 psi. This is
from historical observed SITP and downhole pressure gauge data on PTU-17. A gradient of 0.16
psi/ft has been consistently used for other sundry applications and is in line with observations
from the field. The MASP documented in the PTU-19 PTD is consistent with what has been
documented on the only production well PTU-17.
Thanks,
