The abandonment was approved by the AOGCC at the time it was done, and a P&A marker post was set in a remaining section of the wellhead. BPXA is remediating the Abel State No. 1 gravel pad, and will recover as much of the gravel as possible for re-use. This required that the abandonment marker be removed and replaced with a subsurface steel marker plate installed below the original tundra surface, as per 20 AAC 25.170. Based on a review of AOGCC and BPXA well files, there was reason to suspect the adequacy of the surface plug in the Abel State well. The plug was reportedly only ten (10) feet in length, and there was concern that the plug would be lost when subsurface casing cuts were made in preparation for the installation of the below-grade abandonment marker plate. Since there is no intermediate or production casing in the well, and the integrity of a plug placed across the shoe of the surface casing is unknown, well control planning was of paramount importance in developing a program that would result in the placement of a new surface plug that meets current regulations, before installing the subsurface marker plate. The following operations summary describes how and when this work was accomplished. Attachment I shows the final condition of the near-surface part of the wellbore after the work was completed. Attachments II, III and IV photo-document the cement surface plugs and the installation of the subsurface steel marker plate. Operations Summary: February 13 -February 14, 2008: Stage equipment on Abel State location. February 15, 2008: Cut window in 20" conductor. Clean out cement, and prepare 13 3/8" surface casing for cold tap. February 16 -February 18 2008: Deepen excavation 4.5 ft, and cut additional 4 ft off 20" conductor. Otherwise, project on hold awaiting delivery of saddle clamp for cold tap. February 19 -February 26, 2008: Project on hold awaiting delivery of saddle clamp for cold tap. • • February 27, 2008: Prep to cold tap 13 3/8" surface casing to investigate contents beneath surface plug. Held planning and safety meetings. Exposed surface casing behind conductor. Pressure test equipment to 3500 psi, with MASP behind pipe estimated at 2700 psi. Drilled 7/8" hole without incident. Found ice behind pipe and no pressure. Procedure witnessed by Lou Grimaldi of AOGCC. Observed bleed manifold for 15 minutes. No pressure and no buildup. Tapped hole and secured bleed manifold. Prep to cut 13 3/8" casing, install casing head and dry tree tomorrow. February 28, 2008: Held pre job safety meeting. Gathered up equipment and materials and stage on site. Job postponed due to problems with crane. February 29 -March 1, 2008: Job postponed due to weather. March 2, 2008: Cut 13 3/8" casing with Wachs saw, and laid down cut-off portion. Casing appeared to be filled with contaminated cement (perhaps frozen slurry). Installed FMC 13 3/8" slip-lock casing head on 13 3/8" casing, and tested seal area to 800 psi. Installed 13 5/8" x 7 1/16" crossover, 7 1/16" riser, and dry tree. Torqued up all bolts to spec, and prepared for 3000 psi test next day. March 3, 2008: Assembled all equipment on-site for test of dry tree, riser, crossover and starting head. Weather precluded operation of manlift. Shut down to wait on weather. March 4, 2008: Pressure tested FMC starting head, 13 5/8" x 7 1/16" crossover (adapter flange), 7 1/6" riser, and dry tree to 3000 psi against cement in 13 3/8" casing. Monitored pressure for 30 mins. Lost a total of 200 psi (140 psi in first 15 minutes, and 60 psi in final 15 minutes). Test passed. Bled off test pressure, rigged down and released support equipment. Awaiting AIC to backfill and regrade site in preparation for CTU operations. March 5 -March 14 2008: Crew working on Lake State No. 1 while waiting on AIC to complete backfill and regrade of Abel State location. Gravel work complete on March 14, 2008. March 15, 2008: Moved in CT unit and rigged up. Made up BOP's on well. Made up injector for pressure test. Could not pump through coil. Suspect ice in coil. Prep to cut coil. Spotted support equipment. March 16, 2008: Cut 150 ft off coil and cleared obstruction (ice). Pressure tested coil to 3500 psi. OK. Stabbed onto well and circulate coil over to warm KCI. Circulate coil and warm up system. Made up Baker underreamer with 9" blades. Tagged cement in 13 3/8" casing at 38 ft. Underreamed to 43 ft, where encountered harder material (probably frozen mud). POOH with underreamer and made up 3.73" Piranha mill. Milled from 43 ft to 238 ft (target depth to set new surface plug). Backreamed out of hole laying-in neat methanol. Made up side jet nozzle to jet out frozen mud. • • March 17, 2008: RIH with nozzle and hit obstruction at 110 ft. POOH and made up 3.40" JSN. RIH and attempted to wash through with neat methanol and 125° F KCl without success. POOH and made up Baker 2 7/8" motor and 3.73" Piranha mill. RIH and milled through obstruction and continued to 238 ft target depth. Made trip to surface and back to 238 ft two more times. Circulated bottoms up and POOH. Found paper sack material, visquene and other debris in return tank. Made up underreamer with 7.75" blades, and 3.80" pilot bit. RIH to 238 ft for dry tag, and then pulled up to 38 ft. Underreamed through debris 38 ft to 53 ft with good motor work. Continued to underream to 210 ft with no motor work, then underreamed to 238 ft with periodic stalls. POOH and changed over coil and hole to 60/40 methanol. Secured well. NOTE: Evidence strongly suggest that the original surface plug was set on a "poor boy" cement retainer comprised of sacks, visquene, and other debris that was pushed down the hole to approximately 43 ft (coiled tubing depth) ahead of placing the cement surface plug. This was common practice at the time to expedite getting off the hole as quickly as possible. March 18, 2008: Made up 3.45" side jet only nozzle. RIH and jet 300 bbls 140° 1% KCl across 38 ft to 238 ft interval. POOH to pick up reverse out nozzle. Down 9 hrs for weather (-42° F). RIH and tagged TD at 236 ft. Pulled up to 230 ft and reverse circulate diesel down backside while measuring returns to determine hole volume (29.3 bbls). POOH while filling with diesel. Closed swab valve and circulated coil over to 60/40 methanol. Unstab and secure well. Went on weather standby due to temperature. March 19, 2008: On weather standby until 1400 hrs. Warmed up equipment and called for cementers and fluids. Notified AOGCC inspector Bob Noble, who waived inspection until after final casing cut made. Spotted cementing spread on location. Held safety meeting. Pressure tested coil to 300 psi low, and 7500 psi high. OK. Made up cementing stingers and stab onto well. Pressure test surface equipment to 400 psi low/ 4000 psi high. March 20, 2008: RIH and tagged up at 234 ft. Picked up 5 ft. Mixed and pumped 20 bbls fresh water ahead followed by 35 bbls, 15.8 ppg arctic set 1 cement, followed by 10 bbls fresh water.

Well done. It appears all bases are covered.

I looked at the files and as might be suspected with "old abandonments", it looks like anything is possible. I think the most risk of additional work is Able State. The abandonment plan stated that a plug would be set at the surface casing shoe, but I don't find anything in the "after action" reports that says that plug was set. Also, only 10' of cement was placed as a surface plug. There is a possibility of diesel based mud there too, although water base was listed as an option. In the other wells, the reports indicate that greater cement volumes were placed for surface plugs. I will look fonnrard to the sundry applications. Give your best plan for the work, but realize that once Pandora's Box is opened, the work scope could change. We only need look back on that well (Exxon's I think) that you all worked on last year.

Supervisor ~ Z f Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission DATE: March 10, 2008 FROM: Lou Grimaldi Petroleum Inspector SUBJECT: Casing head Cold Tap/Cutoff BP Exploration Abel State #1 PTD #176-018 Exploratory February 28, 2008: I witnessed the "Cold Tap" of the 13 3/8 casing on BP Explorations (adopted) exploratory well, Abel State No.1. I had been in contact with Jim Fagnant (BP rep.) earlier this week about the job and agreed with these procedures aspects. I arrived Wednesday at 12:00 and observed a Halliburton Energy Services crew rig up the drilling equipment. The clamp assembly and drill rod packoff were tested to 5000 psi before the drilling started. A 7/8" hole was drilled through the 13 3/8" casing and approximately 4" into the ~ I.D. with no problems. A 3000-psi positive pressure was kept applied during the drilling process, which did not bleed off. When maximum depth was reached the pressure was increased to 5000 psi, which held solid. The drill head/packoff was retracted and inspected. Other than a small amount of ice there was no other indications of what had been drilled into. The hole in the casing was tapped with a 3/4 " N.P.T. thread, and a valve assembly was installed. March 2, 2008; I was contacted by Jim Fagnant this morning that the casing was to be cut off today. I was traveling to West Sak River State #1 and told him I would be by to observe the results and to proceed. I arrived there later in the day ~ to find the 13 3/8" casing cutoff. The inside of the 13 3/8" was filled with what appeared to be a very light cement, almost a consistency of "plaster of Paris". A sample was brought into the warm-up van and allawe~p.come up to approximately 60 degrees F with no change in consistency. The cement was brittle and could be crumbled with hand pressure. ~~~~~~~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 2008 2008-0302_Surface P&A Abel_State-1_lg.doc 1 of 5 • A 13 3/8" Cameron "slip-type" casing head was installed on the casing head and pressure tested to 5000 psi. A 6" Dry Hole tree with riser was nippled up on top of / the casing head. A pressure test of this assembly was scheduled for later in the day. As things were moving slowly I left at this point and asked Jim Fagnant to call if any problems with this were encountered. I also requested Jim to give notice when the coil unit was brought out to drill out the concrete and place the surface plug.

(BPXA) Wellhead Removal Program Abel State No. 1 PTD: 176-018 API No. 50-029-20200 -' Background Information and Present Well Condition: Abel State No. 1 is located within the Prudhoe Bay Unit approximately 1.25 miles south of Pt. McIntyre, and west of the West Dock access Road. There is no permanent road access to the well site, and a short ice road spur will be constructed from the West Dock road to support the proposed work. The well was drilled, logged, and mugged and abandoned in 1976 by Atlantic Richfield Company. There is an abandonment marker on the well which maybe set in a remaining section of the original wellhead. The presence (or absence) of a well cellar cannot be confirmed, as the site has been re-graded around the abandonment marker post. Based on a review of Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (AOGCC) and BPXA well files, there is reason to suspect the adequacy of the surface plug~in this well. The plug is reportedly only ten (10) ft in length, and will in all likelihood be lost when the subsurface casing cuts are made in preparation for installation of a below-grade abandonment marker plate. Before the casing cuts are made, the surface casing will be hot tapped to assess conditions under the existing plug. Assured that it is safe to proceed, a new surface plug in excess of 150 ft in length will be set in the surface casing prior to installation of the marker plate. There is no intermediate or production casing in the well. Attachment I shows the present condition of this well. Projects Objectives: BPXA plans to remediate the Abel State No. 1 pad and reserve pit. Removal of the well to below the original tundra grade is necessary to this objective. If the remains of the original well cellar are discovered during the excavation work, they will be removed as part of the project. The work is scheduled for the first quarter of 2008. Wellhead Removal Operations Program: The work described herein is anticipated to require approximately one week to complete, not including the time necessary to construct the ice road. This schedule also assumes that the hot tap of the surface casing confirms the integrity of previous P&A work. Any pressure, or active fluids encountered under the existing surface plug will require that an alternative approach be developed and implemented by the BPXA Wells Group. -~---~ Ar..~c~-o-~~S ~ ~~~ ~~ 2.~- • • Attachment II shows the final condition of the well after project completion.

After drilling the well, open- hole logs found the Sag River and Sadlerochit were water wet. This combined with the depths each formations were encountered suggests the North Prudhoe Bay Fault is about % mile south of the Abel State No. 1 well. After running the open-hole logs, the drilling program was changed and 9-5/8" production casing was not run. Instead the rig placed a balanced cement plug in open hole from 9139'-9324' covering the top most hydrocarbon bearing zone. 10.6 ppg water based mud was left from 9139'-2785' and a second balanced cement plug was pumped from 2660'-2785' covering the 13-3/8" casing shoe. Above these plugs 10.6 ppg water based mud was left from 2660'-surface. The wellhead was removed down to the starting head and a small 10' cement plug was dumped from surface. There are no records indicating the balanced cement plugs were ever tagged or pressure tested. Given the timeline from the drilling records, it is unlikely the plugs were tested. Also, because the 10.6 ppg mud left in the 13-3/8" casing only has 1900 ppm of Chlorides, it should be #rozen solid from surface to the bottom of the permafrost 1800'. As part of the charter agreement between BP and the state of Alaska during the merger with ARCo, it is necessary to reclaim the gravel pad that was built for Abel State No. 1. However, because the well was abandoned at pad Level, it is necessary to re-abandon the well at least 4 feet below the tundra level according to current AOGCC regulations for permanent abandonment. In order to re-abandon the well to modern standards, the surface cement plug will likely be cut off, exposing the frozen mud in the 13-3/8" casing. To minimize .the risk associated with jetting out 200' of frozen mud, a new wellhead will be installed on the 13-3/8" casing and a dry hole tree with pressure containment will allow safe entry with coiled tubing. Job Planning Completion: 20" 94# - H-40 Conductor to 82' -Starting head attached to 20" 13-3/8" 72# - MN-80 Surface casing to 2734' 12-114" Open hole to TD of 9642' Cement Plugs: 9139'-9324' (185') -Placed on drillpipe 1976 2660'-2785' (125') -Placed on drillpipe 1976 Surface-10' (10') -Dumped from surface 1976 A 4" diameterx 70' long marker pole was placed 3' into the cement at surface to mark the well information. Drift History: No record of any drifts after balanced cement plugs placed. Wellbore Volume: 30 bbls in 13-3/8" casing down to desired plug depth of 200'. Static: 2006 BHP map: 3390 psi at 8800' TVD (7.4 ppg kill weight fluid). Cement Design: Fill 13-3/8" casing from 200' to surface with ~30 bbls Arctic Set I. 2 • Abel State No. 1 -Abandonment Discussion Because the casing must be cut off below the 10' surface cement plug, the well will be exposed to atmosphere without surface containment until a new wellhead and dry-hole tree can be installed. Because of this situation, it is necessary to hot-tap into both the 20" and 13-318" casing strings to verify there is no pressure. Once the new wellhead and dry-hole tree are installed, the gravel will be backfilled and conditioned as necessary to provide a level and competent base for a coiled tubing unit to back up and rig up to the dry-hole tree. It is possible that while jetting out the frozen drilling mud in the 13-3/8" casing that partially collapsed casing may be encountered. If this is the case, it will be necessary to downsize the jet nozzle until it will pass thru with no over pull. With a static bottom-hole pressure of 3390 psi, the well is 1400 psi overbalanced with the column of 10.6 ppg water based drilling mud left in the wellbore. However in the unlikely event the mud has swapped over to gas there could be as much as 2700 psi at surface. While this is an unlikely situation, to mitigate this risk, a 3000 psi rated Cosasco weld-o-{et will be used to hot tap into the 13-3/8" casing just below the 10' surface cement plug. Abandonment Program Site Preparation Build ice road sufficient to allow the weight of a coiled tubing unit to drive to Abel St. No. 1 pad site. 2. Excavate carefully around well conductor to a depth of ~15' below current pad level (should be ~10' into the tundra). Slope excavation on a 3-to-1 grade and ensure area is sufficiently large to safely work around the conductor casing. Ensure safe ingress and egress to well is possible. • NOTE: The excavation area is a confined space since it is deeper than 4'. • If the remains of a well cellar or rat-hole pipe are discovered during the excavation, remove them so as to cleanly expose the conductor pipe. Follow standard excavation procedures for separating any contaminated gravel. Casing Hot-tap and New Wellhead Installation NOTE: The excavation area is a confined space since it is deeper than 4 3. Perform an ultrasonic test (UT) on the 20" casing where the (2) hot taps are to be welded ~90° apart. The UT test will verify good base pipe exists to weld onto. 4. Rig up the Cosasco hot tap equipment and welding crew. Weld on a 3000 psi rated Cosasco weld-o-let as low on the casing as practical. Use the Cosasco hot tap drilling machine to drill into the 20" casing and verify no pressure exists in the 13-3/8" x 20" annulus. Monitor for any signs of pressure with a calibrated DHD pressure gauge. Recommend starting with a high range gauge (0-3000 psi) and 3 ., Abel State No. 1 -Abandonment then using a very sensitive low range gauge (0-10 psi). Verify pressure stays at 0 psi for 30 minutes. 5. If no pressure is seen in the first hot tap, measure ~90 deg around the casing and install a second Cosasco weld-o-let onto the 20" casing. Use the hot tap drilling machine to drill in and verify no pressure exists in the second hot tap window. 6. If there is no pressure in the 20" casing, use the Wachs casing window cutter to cut a 3' tall access window all the way around the 20" conductor as low as practical on the conductor. Chip away cement to expose clean 13-3/8" pipe. • The drilling records indicate there are (2) 2-3/8" riser pipes in the 20" x 13- 3/8" annulus that were used to pump a cement top job. Cut and remove these risers as necessary. 7. Perform an ultrasonic test (UT) on the 13-3/8" casing where the (2) hot taps are to be welded. The UT test will verify good base pipe exists to weld onto. 8. Rig up the Cosasco hot tap equipment and welding crew. Weld on a Cosasco weld-o-let in the middle of the 3' window. Use the Cosasco hot tap drilling machine to drill into the 13-3/8" casing and verify no pressure exists inside. Monitor for any signs of pressure with a calibrated DHD pressure gauge. Recommend starting with a high range gauge (0-3000 psi) and then using a very sensitive low range gauge (0-10 psi}. Verify pressure stays at 0 psi for 30 minutes. 9. If no pressure is seen in the first hot tap, measure ~90 deg around the casing and install another Cosasco weld-o-let onto the 13-3/8" casing. Use the hot tap drilling machine to drill in and verify no pressure exists in the second hot tap window. 10. If no pressure is found inside the 13-3/8" casing, move in a crane and install lifting slings on the starting head. Rig up the 20" Wachs guillotine cutter saw and make a clean cut across the 13-3/8" casing just below the hot tap ports. Lift off casing and old wellhead to expose 13-3/8" casing. • If there is a cement plug below the cut on the 13-3/8" casing then go to the Contingency Procedure 1 at the end of this document. • If there is an unfrozen liquid or a void below the cut on the 13-3/8" casing then go to the Contingency Procedure 2 at the end of this document. • If there is a frozen ice plug below the cut on the 13-3/8" casing then proceed with the following steps. `I.~o~~~,p~C..C. o~ `c~.ca ~c,-~,~ v'~~ ~~ 11. Dress off the 13-3/8" casing stub if necessary and install FMC 13-3/8" slip-ring style starting head. Pressure test starting head seals thru the pressure test port. 12. Make up dry-hole tree with 12'-14' of riser pipe to extend just above the original pad level. Perform a 30 minute MIT to 3000 psi on the dry-hole tree using diesel and a small triplex pump. The drilling mud ice plug should provide a lower barrier to test against. 4 • Abel State No. -Abandonment 13. If dry-hole tree and new wellhead pass pressure test, rig down Wells Group equipment and secure the dry-hole tree for gravel pad work. Site Preparation 14. Have heavy equipment operators carefully backfill gravel around new wellhead and riser pipe to bring pad level back to original grade. Ensure steps are taken to level location and stabilize gravel to adequately support the weight of a coiled tubing unit next to the wellhead. 15. Bring in small triplex pump and perform a 30 minute MIT to 3000 psi on the dry- hole tree to verify it did not loose integrity during the backfilling of gravel. Coiled Tubing Please give AOGCC slope inspectors 24 hour notice (659-2714) to witness any of the following coiled tubing work. 16. MIRU CTU and make up BHA with at least 2 stingers and 3"+ JSN. 17. Stab lubricator onto dry-hole tree and perform pressure test low and high against swab valve. 18.Open swab and master valves and RIH while jetting 60/40 methanol-water. • Adjust running speed and pump rate to adequately melt frozen drilling mud and lift any solids that may be present in the drilling mud. • If rate of penetration (ROP) decreases significantly, pump a neat methanol spear to work on ice plug. • Recommend making frequent trips back to surface to make sure any slushies are not packing off above. 19.Jet out frozen drilling mud down to a depth of 200'. • When 200' is reached, POOH at 80% jetting at max rate any remaining drilling mud and mud solids to surface. 20. Call out cementers and MU BHA with large bore BDN. RIH to 200' and tag bottom. PUH until full string weight is recovered then PUH additional 5' and flag coil. 21.

RIH with coil to flag as cement reaches nozzle. Pump 7 bbls of cement out nozzle before pulling uphole. (Ideally this will place 50' of cement above nozzle to prevent dilution while PUH). After 7 bbl of cement is out the nozzle, PUH and lay in additional 28 bbls of cement in the 13-3/8" casing to surface. • 35 bbls of cement is 5 bbls more than necessary to fill casing and will ensure clean uncontaminated cement is left all the way to surface. • While laying in cement, adjust pulling speed to end up at surface as cement tail hits nozzle. 25. With nozzle at surface and clean cement returns in open top, slowly jet the biozan and spacer water from lubricator down to just below the master valve contaminating cement out to open top tank. 26. Pull nozzle up into lubricator and swap over to 60/40 down coil. When 60/40 reaches nozzle slow pump rate to minimum and slowly RIH to just below master valve lay in small freeze protect from just below master to 7" Otis quick union. Stop pumping and close master valve. Freeze protect lines out to open top tank and then shut swab and pump-in sub valves. 27. RDMO coil unit and allow cement to reach full compressive strength based on SLB lab results. Site Preparation 28. Excavate carefully around dry-hole tree and new wellhead to expose work area as before. Ensure adequate depth and work space around wellhead and safe ingress and egress from pit. 6 Abel State No. 1 -Abandonment Final Abandonment Please give AOGCC slope inspectors 24 hour notice (659-2714) to witness the surface cement plug before marker plate is welded onto casing. 29. Move in a crane and install lifting slings on the dry-hole tree and starting head. Rig up the 20" Wachs casing cutter saw and make a clean cut across both casing strings just below the starting head. Lift off dry-tree and starting head exposing a clean cut across 20" casing & 13-3/8" casing. Cement should be visible in 13-3/8". 30. When AOGCC approves condition of surface cement plug, install steel subsurface marker plate as per the following specifications: • Plate must be at lease'/4" thick. • Plate must be at least 18" square or 18" in diameter. • Plate must be welded to and cover the outermost casing string. • Plate must have the following information bead-welded on its surface. l,~ JQ Coc"Q~~~ BP Exploration Alaska, Inc. ~~G"C~ S ~~~ ~tt~`7 PTD# 176-018 ~~ ` ~ Abel State No. 1 ~ ~~ ~~~~,,, API# 50-029-20200-QO Note: These specifications come from the state of Alaska's regulations 20 AAC 25.120(b) and (d), (1), (2), and (4). 31.

If casing is filled with an unfrozen liquid, collect a sample and deliver to the GPB Laboratory for analysis. If the liquid does not look like diesel or crude, it will likely be the 10.6 ppg drilling mud left during the P&A in 1976. 2. If however, there is a gas void in the casing, please call Donald or Doug to discuss the way forward. 3. Drop aplumb-bob weight down the 13-3/8" casing to a depth of 200'. • If casing is filled with an unfrozen liquid this will verify there are no ice plugs deeper in the well. 4. If available, have the DHD crew install a 20" Katch-Kan spill containment liner to the 20" conductor on the ground. If a Katch-Kan is not available, have well support install a herculite liner to catch liquid returns. 5. Use a crane or other suitable hoist system to makeup and lower 1 "-2" line pipe into the casing to a depth of 200'. Install across-over from the top of the line pipe to hardline. Suggest using areverse-out skid so cementers can cleanup cement to open top tank after cement is pumped. 6. Rig up Dowell cementing service and batch mix 35 pumpable bbls of the following cement: Volume to Pump 35 bbls total Cement Type 15.8 ppg Arctic Set I Fluid Loss 75 cc/30 minutes at 28°F BHT Acceptable Range 50-80 cc/30 minutes at 28°F BHT Compressive Thickening Time 2000 psi ultimate 5-7 hours • 35 bbls will provide ~5 bbls of extra cement to ensure clean cement reaches surface. • Catch samples of cement for QC testing and place in ice water bath. 7. Bring in a vac-truck with ~10 bbls of biozan already onboard. Have the vac hose placed in the Katch-Kan containment liner and someone ready to take returns. 8. Pump the 30 bbl cement batch down the line pipe taking liquid returns to the Katch-Kan containment while vac'ing out returns. Over displace the cement until clean cement returns are seen at surface. 9 .. ~' Abel State No. 1 - Abandonment 9. Cleanup cementers out to tank farm and vac out remaining returns in Katch-Kan. 10. RD cementers and secure circulating line pipe while cement cures. 11. When cement has reached full compressive strength as verified by the SLB lab, rig up the Wach's 20" guillotine saw and cut thru both 20" and 13-3/8" conductor as low as practical on the casing. Please give AOGCC slope inspectors 24 hour notice (659-2714) to witness the surface cement plug before marker plate is welded onto casing. 12. When AOGCC approves condition of surface cement plug, install steel subsurface marker plate as per the following specifications: • Plate must be at lease'/4" thick. • Plate must be at least 18" square or 18" in diameter. • Plate must be welded to and cover the outermost casing string. • Plate must have the following information bead-welded on its surface.

In compliance %.gith 20 AAC 25.170 Section (a), "Within one year of suspension or abandonment of an on- shore wall", all clean uF, work is to be finished. Section (b) provides the means for an extension of time if a va].id reason exists. Section (c) provides for on site insk>ection. Consequently, we are presenting the following list of .~,~our abandoned and/or suspended wells. Hany of these are now more than one year old and are not in compliance with regulations. Others should have the final inspection completed, this summer while weather permits. This list covers the years 1975 to date. There may be some earlier ,,,:ells that also need inspec- tion. If you have any earlier wells to t.:e inspected this summer please inforra us.. Therefore, we are requesting a schedule from you for this summer when our field inspectors can. accompany your representa- tives to these sites for the final clean up inspection.

Gil Meyers, coordinator for ARCO, and I already checked Gull Island for temporary abandonment today and proceeded by chopper to inspect ~el State No. 1, Sec. 4, T27N, R14E, U.N., Pe~it No. 76-18 for a complete abandonment. The marker is up and in good shape with all data bead welded on the post besides a well sign attached to the post with all~ .well data OK. The pad itself is level and clean of debris. The.pit needs more fill. The full length of the ~est side of 'the pit needs dirt fill to cover the mud and chemicals and to brin~ the pit up to specifications for our approval of a complete abandonment. In S~T~narx_: I inspected Abel .State No. 1 with Gil Meyers for ARCO and found the pad to be clean and level. The marker is OK, but the ~,~a~:! needs more fill before our approval .for abandonment, Attachn,~nt \.

Hamilton Chief Petroleum Engineer? DATE , April 28, 1976 'FROM: Lonnie C Smith Petroleum Engineer SUBJECT: Witness P, OP 'Lest; Arco' s I!qI .#(:,; Seal bypass valves COT I}lant; Preliminary inspection at Arco's Able State #1 ' · Ho!';day_, April 12, 1976 - I departed Anchorage by commercial air carrier at 7 30 AM arr-iving at Deadhorse on the ~,,or~h Slope at o, O0 ~':'I. where I caught the Arco bus to their base camp. I contacted the HGI drillinq supervisor, Tom Webster, by phone and made arrangements to be picked up when he needed me that afternoon. I then contacted Dan Roberts, sL, per- visor of the COT plant and discussed the use of the bypass valves and the operational problems of the previous weeks at the COT plant when they had COT-1 shut down. The plant was now back in full scale operation at peak efficiency. I was introduced to Tom Bradshaw, a new COT supervisor, who took me out to seal the three bypass valves that had the seals broken during the operational shutdown. ! replaced the seals on valves at meter run #1, #2 and one between the tanks and rechecked the seals on the other six valves to be sure they were intact. Dan assured me he would get in a report covering the amounts of fluid bypassed during operational shutdewn of COT #1 plant for my approval. He showed me the tank gauge record that would be the basis of this report. I pointed out to him that, after check- ing it over, if we a~reed with it then there would have to be an additional ticket written,~a run ticket, for'that amount to include it in the total runs into the plant. (I subsequently notified Ed Hartig of this pending adjustment. ) I discussed operational problems with drilling coordinator~ Gil Meyer, who informed me that Buck Rice would soon be ready for a BOP test on the DS 3-2 well. I told him I would stay in contact with Buck and possibly catch it before I left the slope. Hr. ~' . . ,~,~eyer also inquired if I could inspect the abandoned location clean work which was in progress on At~le State #1. I assured him I would be able to do this, so he agreed whenever the work was complete the next day we could make arrangements to get m.e by there. I had lunch with Arco operation engineer, Gene Griffin, who informed me that flow tests from DS 1-7 well were still very disappointin.cj and the recent solvent treatment didn't appear to be very effective. They were still severely hampered by production flow rate, but it appeare;i that LJley had opened up some new perforations but possibly tJ~ere were still per,' ra- tions that weren't open. We also discussed the upcoming flow test on tile gas well, NGI #7, of which he informed me that the primary reasons for these tests were first, how deep to set the subsurface safety valve to get safely below the hydrate point and secondly, the concern 'For the hydrate formations at the low flow rates and whether or not their cir('u- lation ~ystem would be adequate to prevent the hydrate fori-natio~ or un- block it if they did get formation. His indications were t!~,t they will be attempting to flow at maximum flow rates as limited hy the 4 1/2 tubing to assure that the well cleans up properly and then at iow rates for hydrate testing. L. C. Smith 2- April 28, 1976 After lunch I was driven to the NGI location where the Challenger rig #51 is drilling well no. 6. I met the Challenger supervisor, Carl Lee, and the Arco drilling supervisor, Tom Webster. T.hey informed me that they were ready to start pressure testing on the kelly and kelly cock and choke mani- fold system, however, they were still nippling up the BOP system. Finally, at 3:00 PM we started pressure testing the test manifold system which is a very large manifold consisting of 19 valves, all three inch Haliburton Low-Torc type valves. Ir~nediately upon pressuring up to 2500 psi the plug blew out of the bottom of one of these valves. We alternately pressure tested and repaired valves until 5:30 PM. At that time we had 4 valves leaking and under repair. At 8:15 PM we pressured the kelly cock valve to 3000 psi and it held okay. Then we pressured the lower kelly valve and it was okay. At 10:45 PM we had deflnitely determined that there were 4 valves still leaking on the choke manifold and more repairs would be necessary. Tuesdas, April 13, 1976 - The four remaining valves in the test manifold ~ve~e 'finaliY repa~red-b~y 1:30 PM and all tested satisfactorily. The rest of the night was spent testing the blowout preventor stack, A leak in the flow line to the test manifold was found and repaired. Several hydraulic leaks were uncovered and the wrong test plug was run and required an hour o~.SO delay to change and get the proper test plug. The two sets of pipe r~$ and the blind rams were successfully tested to 5000 psi. The backup nitrogen bottles were tested and had good pressure in 6 bottles. All testing was completed about 4:45 AM. I completed a field inspection report, attached, showing 14. total hours of observation time and uncovering and repairing of 12 leaks. I left a copy of this with Tom ~ebster and sent the other copy to B. T. Laudermilk. I called Gil Meyer at the Arco's base camp and infomned him the testing was completed at NGI and that I was ready to inspect the location clean-up on Arco's Able State No. 1. Gil picked me up and we drove to the Able State location where a cat was still on the location dragging to smooth down the rough places. The location was already in a very good condition as shown in Photos. No. 'l and 2. The P & A marker with the well sign mounted on it is shown in' both photos. The well marker also has the correct data bead welded on it. ~e circled, the perimeter of the location. ! looked it over carefully and filled out the field inspection report, attached, showing that the final inspection will be required following break-up. I informed Gil that it was impossible to give final approval until the snow had melted and we could be sure that there was satisfactorily clean-up all around the perimeter of the location. He agreed to this and carried me back to the main camp where I ate lunch, caught the bus for the airport and returned to Anchorage on the 1:25 PM flight. I arrived back in Anchorage about 4:00 PM. On this field trip I traveled to the North Slope, r~sealed three bypass valves at the COT plant, witnessed BOP test on the NGI No. 6 and made a preliminary final inspection on the Able State No. 1. The COT report of by-passed crude should be reviewed for adequacy when received and the Able State final inspection should be scheduled for this summer.

Russ Douglass and I took the Arco bus to Arco base where we were met by Dick Knowles, Chief Drilling Engineer, who advised one of us was to accompany him to their Gull Island State #1 to witness bottom hole pressure'charts. A call to Easy Gilbreth confirmed this and it was decided I would make the Gull .Island location and Russ would accompany Gil Meyer to the Highland location.. I arrived at the Gull Island loca- tion at 2:00 PM, waited for ~them to come. out of the.hole, witnessed the bottom hole pressure charts, discussed DST Data and was driven to the Ab~e State #1 location, arriving at 9:30 .PM.~. There we met Donny Fields, Arco drilling foreman, and Kelly Goff, Nabors Rig #25 toolpusher, who advised they were WOC and tests would not begin for at least .thirty-six hours. Temperature -28°F, winds 40 knots out of the north, chill factor-92°.F.. March 15, ]976- Nippling up continued. This. rig had been stacked up for nearly a year and many modifications were being made.. March 16, 1976 - Nippling up continued.. B-P base operations called to advise we would be giVen forty-eight hours advance notice on BOPE tests at their Niakuk #1 location ..... March 17, 1976 - Tests began at 1:00 AM. Top pipe rams and inside wing valves on choke and kill line tested .to 5000 PSIG. At this point the Sprague pump failed and it was necessary to borrow a pump from another rig. Tests resumed and the lower pipe rams, outside wing valves on the choke and kill line and check valve on the kill line tested to 5000 PSIG. The hydril tested to 3000 PSIG. .. While waiting for the drill pipe to be removed from the test plug, ~te toured the. location which was well organized, rig in good repair, steel welded fuel tanks bermed and well sign received from Anchorage. The accumulator tested to 2850pSIG. Only two N2 backup bottles were in evidence, each of which tested to 2150 PSIG. We recommended to Donny Fields that at least two additional bottles be manifolded into the system and this is so noted on the field inspection report. .,., At 12:00 noon we broke for lunch as they were moving the pressuring pump to the choke manifold house and putting a low pressure test on the choke manifold. Several flange leaks developed and upon tightening, tests resumed at 1:30 PH. Ben Le Norman -2- MarCh 23, 1976 Fifteen gate valves, the blind rams and forty-four flanges tested to 5000 PSIG. The manual adjustable chokes were free moving and the Swaco superchoke actuated. We found both dart and ball type floor valves whilewaiting to pick up the kelly for testing the kelly cock and lower kelly valve. It was learned shortly thereafter the kelly was frozen in the rathole and a further delay occurred. Still later it was learned both the standpipe and the rotary hose were frozen. 'Tests resumed at ll:20 PM with the kelly cock and lower kelly valve testing to 5000 PSIG. Tests were concluded at 11:45 PM. A field inspection report was prepared with the original to Donny Fields, a copy mailed to Benny Loudermilk and a copy attached to this report. March 18, 1976 - Departed Arco Able State #1 location at 4:00 PM arriving at BP'-N"i'a'kuk #1-A at 4:40 PM. There we met Paul White, BP drilling foreman, and Larry Driscoll, Parker Rig #97 toolpusher, who advised nippling up was almost completed. Pressuring was to be done with mud pumps with mud as the medium on this 3000 PSIG stack. Tests began at 5:20 PM with the blind.rams, both wing valves and check valve on the kill line and the wing valve and HCR valve on the choke line testing to 3000 PSIG. Eleven gate valves and fourteen flanges in the choke manifold tested to 3000 PSIG. The manual adjustable choke was free moving, but the Swaco superchoke would not actuate due to mechanical problems. Swaco repair personnel were con- tacted to make repairs. While waiting for the crew to pick up drill pipe and drill collars, we broke for chow. Testing resumed at 9:00 PM with upper and lower pipe rams testing to 3000 PSIG. The hydril tested to 1500 PSIG. The kelly cock tested to 3000 PSIG. However, the lower kelly valve leaked and will have to be repaired or replaced. Both dart and ball type floor valves were on hand. Accumulator tested to 3150 PSIG. N2 bottles tested to 2500, 2400, 2200 and 2500 PSIG. We toured the location and found it well organized, the rig in good repair, steel welded fuel tanks were bermed and the well sign not yet received. Tests were concluded at ll:lO PM. A field inspection report was prepared with the original given to Paul White, a copy mailed to Swede Swenson and a copy attached to this report. March 19, 1976 - Departed Deadhorse at 1:30 PM via BP charter arriving in Anchorage ~at 3:00 PM' and at my home at 3:30 PM. In summary, I witnessed bottom hole pressure chart data at Arco Gull Island #1 and BOPE tests at Arco Able State #1 and BP Niakuk #l-A.

A revision to the surface location of the well site has been made: The new location is to be staked 1600 feet east of the west section line, 1400 feet north of the south section line, Section 27, T12N, R14E, Umiat Meridian. Supplememt Plat #1 (attached) indicates the revised well location including a modification to the proposed ice road. Supplement Plat ~.2 (attached) indicates that gravel source required for construction of the drill pad will be within the active removal area in Section 23, TllN, R14E, Umiat Meridian. The top layers of unfrozen gravel would be removed from the oxbow using existing haul roads and access roads to the exploratory site. In accord with the gravel removal pezmit for this area, the excavations will be smoothed to conform to the natural terrain t~on completion of removal operations. To finish the restoration the overburden will also be replaced and smoothed throughout-the removal areas. Drilling operations are expected to be completed approximately 90 days after Spud date which is n~ projected as February 15, 1976. This exploratory well is designed for winter operations solely and must be completed prior to May 1, 1976 to avoid breakup conditions. The rig for this exploratory well has not yet been established, however, it should be available in the near future. ~. Pedro Denton Page 2 January 27, 1976 Part One - General Information to the Spill Prevention Control and Countermsasure Plan (Attachment #3) outlines the basic plan for this location. The complete plan will be on file at the drillsite location; the on-site supervisor is responsible for its inactmsnt add recording. Negotiations and co-owner approvals have only recently been concluded regarding the drilling of this well and account for the delay in submitting the lease operations pezmit application.

Should an ~u~controlled blowout occur after the 12-1/4" drill bit has penetrated the entire oil colmnn, rates of up to 2000 barrels per hour of oil can be expected with a total quantity of 3,600,000 barrels. In the event of a burning blowout, previous flow tests have indicated a very clean btu~ing fire, i.e., 30,000 barrels per da):. 'l]~erefore, the concerto is with sa~ uncontrolled oil flow with no fire. As shown.on the attached map, should an tmcontrolled oil flow occur, the pollutant would flow in a north-northeast direction. Since the drilling .qperation is taking place during the winter,, the' first action would be to build a Snow berm as indicated on the map. This wou].d contain the flow to the lmm' area just to the north-northeast of the well location. This would create a collection basin of approximately 500,000 barrels. High voltmxe p~q~ps on the Slope could then be used to pun~: the pollutax~t to a controlled area or to reinjection facilities.' ~]a n~ic~ichfieldCompar~y · North Amer.!c?" ~-~oducing Division Alaska Re~' Post Office 'Box 360 Anchorage, Alaska 99510 Telephone 907 277 5537 January 20, 1976 State of Alaska Department of Natural Resources Division of Lands 323 East Fourth Avenue Anchorage, Alaska 99501 Attention: Mr. Pedro Denton,Chief M/nerals Section Subject: Application Lease Operations Permit Exploratory Well, Preliminary Notice Gentlemen: Atlantic Richfield hereby requests lease operations approval for operations in regard to the proposed exploratorywell as outlined in the attached Preliminary Notice. The pend~ng information, primarily well name and rig data, will be supple- mented as it becomes available. Adequate gravel is available within active removal areas in Sections 23 and 14, TllN, R14E, UmiatMeridian. The area, as outlined on Plat ~1 along the Putuligayuk River, would be the source of construction materials. Transport of gravel would be accomp!ishedbyexistinghaul and spine roads to the south- ern edge of the dock staging area where a winter ice road would be utilized for access to the described pad location. Pursuant to existing Gravel Sale Contract (ADL-57592), payment for gravel will be tendered to the State if development use is tobemade of the facility. Final arrang~ts forthe drilling of this well are expected robe contracted for in the near future. Probable spud date for this well is ~urch 1, 1976; therefore, we would appreciate your early attention and review tot he Preliminary Notice enclosed herein.
