Brief Well Summary
KU 24-07RD2, sidetrack of KU 24-07RD, is a class I disposal well injecting in the Sterling sands and governed by
EPA permit # AK-1I018-A.
Hilcorp requests approval according to 20 AAC 25.412(b) to perforate the lowest proposed interval first for
injection. The initial proposed perf interval is 4,522-4,560ft (which puts the planned packer 294ft above the
perforation if all Sands work. We are hoping this interval will accept the waste below the regulatory pressure
limits listed in the EPA Class 1 Permit. Placing the packer at 4,228ft (200 above top of proposed future
perforation interval in the A10 sand) allows future perforations within the authorized interval without
having to complete a rig workover.
Slickline Procedure:
1. MIRU Slickline.
2. PT PCE 250/2500psi.
3. Pull ball/rod and plug body from tubing.
4. Drift w/ 3.70 GR to TD
5. RDMO Slickline.
E-line Procedure:
Ensure EPA has been notified and inspector provided notice to witness test.
1. MIRU E-line.
2. Pressure test PCE 250/2500psi.
3. RIH and perforate intervals below, from bottom up:
Pool Sand Top(MD) Btm(MD) Top(TVD) Btm(TVD) Amt
Sterling A10 ±4,428 ±4,497 ±3,745 ±3,804 ±69
Sterling A11 ±4,522 ±4,560 ±3,825 ±3,858 ±38'
a. All perf intervals may not be completed.
4. Stand by for well to stabilize, minimum 12hrs.
5. Make up Pressure/Temperature logging tools.
6. RIH at 30fpm logging baseline temperature/pressure pass from surface to TD.
7. Place tool directly above perfs at ~4,427. Record pressure/temperature while conducting step rate
test.
8. Log warmback passes from ~4,128 TD. Discuss time intervals with OE/WSL target 1, 3 and 6 hour
warmbacks.
9. RDMO E-Line
AOGCC can approve the variance request to the 200 ft packer to perforation requirement. Hilcorp separately must get EPA approval of this
change. CDW 01/15/2026
Initial Completion
Well: KU 24-07RD2
Step Rate Test and ISIP:
Ensure EPA has been notified and inspector provided notice to witness test.
1. Prepare facility to inject water/brine down well.
2. Ensure e-line tools are on depth and ready for well to be on injection.
3. Flow rate to be controlled by pump speed
4. Flow rate will be measured by facility Coriolis meter
5. Surface pressure and rates will be recorded on SCADA system
6. Perform step rate test for 30 minutes at each rate listed below with a max pump rate of 4bpm and
maximum surface pressure of 2,200psi:
Formation permeability estimated at 200-300mD
a. 0.2 bbl/min
b. 0.4 bbl/min
c. 0.8 bbl/min
d. 1.6 bbl/min
e. 2.4 bbl/min
f. 3.2 bbl/min
g. 4.0 bbl/min
7. Record entire step rate test on SCADA system
8. Once step rate test is completed, isolate the well and record the Instantaneous Shut-in pressure (ISIP).
Restart Injection:
1. EPA must provide authorization prior to resuming waste injection

Stefan,
Im reviewing the perf sundry for the Kenau Unit 24-07RD2 well. Has this well been TDd yet? It looks like
much of the information is estimated.
You may not be aware, but since the beginning of Q4 2025, we have been requesting that perforation
sundries be held until you have the following minimum information:
TD/actual casing depths

8.0 Drilling / Completion Summary
KU 24-07RDis a G&I disposal well for injecting Class I waste into the Sterling sands that is governed by
EPA permit # AK-1I018-A. The well was reclassified from a Class II well to EPA Class I well in September
of 2021. In September of 2024 a CTCO was attempted, but failed due to an obstruction encountered in the
well, which resulted in part of a coil milling BHA being left in hole. In December of 2024 a rig workover
was done to replace tubing/packer and attempted fish coil tools and clean out well. The rig was unable to
retrieve coil fish or clean out the well and the new tubing and packer were run with fish/fill still in well. Due
to the obstructions in well and inability to clean out the well the injection pressures have maintained near the
regulatory limits.
The base plan is to de-complete the well with rig 147 by pulling the 4 ½ tubing currently installed and
abandoning the 7 Liner with a CIBP and dump bail cement. The 9-5/8 casing will be evaluated and a CIBP
set with dump bail cement. A whipstock will be set at ~2300 MD / 2079 TVD and window milled. The
sidetrack will be a single string slant wellbore with a TD at 4704 MD / 4013 TVD. Maximum hole angle
will be ~47 deg. A 7 Production liner string will be run and cemented and the 4 ½ production tubing will
be re-run with a packer set above the disposal zone.
Drilling operations are expected to commence approximately December 2025. The Hilcorp Rig #147 will be
used to drill the wellbore then run casing and cement.
All waste & mud generated during drilling and completion operations will be hauled to the Kenai Gas Field
G&I facility for disposal / beneficial reuse depending on test results.
General sequence of operations:
1. Rig 147 will MIRU over KU 24-07RD2 (Sundry )

Operation Steps:
1. Make up the WIS hydraulic-set whipstock.
2. TIH with DP to the whipstock setting depth. Exercise caution when RIH / setting slips with whipstock
assembly
Fill the drill pipe a minimum of every 20 stands on the trip in the hole with the whipstock assembly.
Avoid sudden starts and stops while running the whipstock.
Recommend running in the hole at a maximum of 90-120 seconds per stand taking care not to spud or catch
the slips. Ensure running string is stationary prior to insertion of the slips and that slips are removed slowly
when releasing the work string to RIH. These precautions are required to avoid any weakening of the
whipstock shear mechanisms and / or to avoid part / preset on the packer.
3. Orient whipstock as directed by the directional driller.
The directional plan (WP2) specifies 30 deg LOHS.
4. Set the top of the whipstock at ~2300 MD

20.0 Anticipated Drilling Hazards
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.
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 pressures are present in this hole section.

Andy,
You are correct, the disposal zone is behind the 9-5/8 casing in KBU 24-7X, apologies for the error. I
have updated the AOR table with changes in blue (Rev2) and attached.
On KBU 24-7X the 9-5/8 cement job did not go to plan and a remedial cement job was performed, after
which a CBL log was obtained (attached). The log shows the TOC from the primary cement job at ~5380
MD and then cement above the squeeze perforations starting at 4870 MD. High quality cement is seen
from 4850-4090 with additional cement up to 3500 where TOC is called because data becomes
unreliable above that point (see log notes).
Please let me know any other questions.
Thanks, Zach

Bryan,
After a little more digging I also found the SLB cement report for the job on KBU 31-18 (attached). The
report shows decent lift pressure increasing through the end of the job until bump. SLB o icially
recorded 800psi lift pressure (1056psi FCP).
Using 800psi lift pressure suggests a TOC between ~3000-3400ft MD depending on your assumptions
(using 10ppg spacer/13.5ppg litecrete/15.3ppg tail/9.3ppg displacement mud).

Bryan,
Ive attached an updated AOR with the correct hole section TOC listed for KBU 31-18. Also attached is
the wellhead pressure plot showing the KBU 31-18 Tubing/IA/OA pressures. Note: The recent tubing
pressure spike on the graph is from a well shut-in.
Regarding the estimated TOC, the report just says that it was based on Volume Calc vs Hole Depth. I
tried to back-calculate and got the same result as you did using a 25% OH excess. There were
indications from the report that the hole was in gauge (2 notes of sweeps coming back on time
approaching and at TD, see snip below). However, using gauge hole still does not give a 3354 TOC. The
explanations I can come up with are 1) There was a known loss zone, which combined with the loss rate
gave them the estimated TOC. 2). They used a more accurate lost circulation volume for once cement
turned the corner vs the overall 45% lost returns or 3) The original estimated TOC was incorrect.
However, there does not appear to be pressure communication up the OA as shown on the wellhead
pressure graph from the last two years.

Zach,
The TOC listed in the Area of review of 6340 MD in well KBU 31-18 is below the injection interval in KU 24-
07RD2. I see that youve reported the production casing TOC, but should be looking at intermediate 7-
5/8 casing TOC.
I looked at that 7-5/8 cement job in KBU 31-18 (PTD 215-024) and see that there were 45% losses during
the job. Assuming the 25% OH excess volume (same assumption as used in the PTD for the well), that
puts TOC at ~4836 MD by my calculation, however the cement report lists an estimated TOC of
3354. How was that top of cement estimated?
Stefan,
Does KBU 31-18 have any signs of sustained casing pressure on the 7-5/8 x 10-3/4 annulus? Can you
send a wellhead pressure plot over the past 2 years?
Thank you
