I. met. Placid Geologist, Mr. Bill Van Allen at the- Anchor'age airport amd' we both. boarded a 7:30 a.m. flight for Deadhorse, arriving after some. delays at.lO;45 a.m. While we were waiting on our luggage at the airport I was contacted, by Mobil's Construction. representative, Mr. Jim Taylor, who informed me he had:.~three wells ready for a final clean-up inspection. and would like for me to visit them either that. evening after I was through -. with the Placid work or the next day if I could stay over, I assured him that. - I could stay over and. would make arrangements later that afternoon to visit his locations ..... Mr. Van Allen and I were met by his contractor, Mr. Murphy Clark, who was in charge of the Bechtel construction crew that performed the clean-up work for Placid. Mr. Clark drove us to-the Gay Airways Heliport. where we contracted for a helicopter to carry us to the location. We then went on to the ltabor's camp. where, we had lunch, Following lunch we returned to Gay Airways and de- parted in a Jet Ranger at 1:38 p.m~. Placid's Beechey Point Supply Staging Area - We flew directly to the Beechey Point Staging area on the ocean, just north of the Beechey Point well, circled once to take pictures and landed to inspect the location on the ground.. I ... took Photo #1, from the air, and Photo #2 (all photos attached) from the ground. · Both photos show the. neat stacks of pipe, supplies and folded pillow tanks; clean smooth gravel pad and bermed gravel fuel revetment. The location is still clean and in a very neat .condition.. ., The six full tanks of diesel fuel that had originally been stock piled at the ... staging area had been emptied and transferred .to another operator and the pillow tanks removed from the fuel .pit, rolled up and stacked on top of the casing that i~ still stock piled on the location. As a matter of interest, Mr, Van Allen in- formed me he had calculated that a minimum of 13,000 gallons of diesel fuel had been stolen from the pillow, tank storage this past year. . . . After walking the perimeter o_f....the pad, it appeared that. the location, was still - -.- just a.s clean as it had been..last.year when I had flown over (9/19/73) and the previous year when I had inspected the location on the ground {9/I3/72), We went back to the helicopter and after, circling the location again, flew one .-~ mile south to the Beechey Point-well. ..... .:. Placid's Placid et al Pl. ag.hm Beechey Point No. i, SectiOn 14, TI3N, RltE,.U.M~ :i: (PaA, January t21' 1971 ),- This well was plugged and abandoned soon a~6F~ bei~-'-. drilled in 1971, but the rig was stacked onthe .location until, this past winter, ... Homer L. Burrel 1 -2- September 17, 1974 and now tJ~at it has been removed and the location cleaned up, we were supposedly making a final inspection of the location. We circled the location and I took Photo #3, which shows the majority of the pad with the pit area in the background. It shows clearly the erosion that has occurred between two small lakes across the filled pit area, and the three ungraded areas on the pad also show up to some degree. We landed and I took Photo #4, which shows the P&A marker, the unfilled cellar, cellar boards which stick up above the gravel level and also several rows of piling which were not cut off deep enough and are so shallowly covered With gravel, that normal weathering will soon expose them again. Photo #5 is another view of the P&A marker across a well graded area of the pad. Photo #6 is a close-up of the erosion cut between the two small lakes and across the pit fill area. I informed Mr. Van Allen that additional work would be required. We discussed the work that had to be performed on the location with the contractor, Mr. Clark. An. ungraded mound of dirt on the east edge of the. pad needs leveling, an area on the northwest corner of the pad needs grading and sufficient gravel will have to be pulled from some. areas of the pad to refill the erosion channel that'has occurred-between the t~o lakes across the pit fill area. I also asked that additional gravel be placed over the pilings so that' normal weathering would not expose them and that the cellar boards be removed and the cellar filled with gravel. They both assured me that there would be no problem to do this~dditional work and we headed back for Deadhorse. On the return flight I requested that we stop by an Exxon location that was on our way so that I could make a brief inspection. Mr. Van Allen readily agreed to this and we had previously discussed whether or not we would split the cost but since it was such a minor amount of .time involved, and not out of the way, he said that there would be no cost to the state for this stop and that Placid would take care of the complete chopper ticket. I filled out a Field Inspec- tion Report fom~ {attached) for the Beechey Point Staging area indicating a satisfactory condition and showing all fuel had been removed and the pillow tanks stacked. I also filled out a similar report form {attached} for the Placid-Plaghm Beechey Point No. 1 well indicating the unsatisfactory work and the corrective measures required. ExxOn's point, .Storkersen ~(o. l, Se.ction 7, T12N, RI4E,_ U.M. (P&A, September i~970) "- ~This w611 Was plugged in i'1970 by the previous Operator, 'Hamilton Brothers Oil Company but before the clean-up of the lease could' be accomp- lished, operatorship was cha~ged over to Exxo~ Corporation on June l, 1973. My. inspection of the location last year, September. lg, 1973, indicated the clean-up of the location was incomplete. Our-letter to Exxon. and their P-3 notices to us indicated their willingness to..complete the clean-up and finally on May 15, 1974 they indicated that.they had completed the clean-up require- merits and requested inspection. Th~s P-3 was filed without coming to my atten- tion, and the inspection was not made until this visit. - . - we approached the location from the West and I took an aerial photo, Photo #7, which shows the location on which can be seen the P&A marker and the ~illed- pit area. We landed and I walked the location and took Photo #8, which shows Homer L. Burrell -3- September 17, 1974 the flanged wellhead with the P&A marker welded on top. The P&A marker cor- rectly identifies the well with the information on it. However; the cellar shown is incomplete because it is unfilled; has loose boards on top which should be removed and/or covered; and most of the steam pipes have been cut off or bent over and they are so shallow under the gravel that normal weathering will expose them. Several loose boards are lying around and the rathoie case- merit is still sticking up. .. Photo #9 is a little fart, qer away from the wellhead but shows the P&A marker" in the background. Several loose boards are exposed on the gravel, and a steel band in the foreground. Photo #10 is. to the east side of the wellhead, off of the pad, and it shows a twisted, bent joint of pipe and a portion of a barrel. 'Photo #ll is off of the south edge of the pad and shows miscellaneous cups, cans, and trash. I had previously documented just about every item' mentioned in the above photos in my previous visit a year ago, with similar photos., showing these same boards, metal bands, trash, and pieces of pipe laying on or off of the pad. It is obvious whatever contractor performed the clean-up work for Exxon only did a.small amount of work around the wellhead. - ... I filled out a Field Trip Inspectiom~Report (attached) indicating the unsatis- factory, condition of the clean-up and what needed to be done to correct it. I only spent 15 minutes on the location and' at 3:15 p.m. we took off and departed for Deadhorse. After arriving at Deadhorse, we returned to the Nabor's camp and the Bechtel t~ffice, where I provided Mr...~.Van Allen with copies of the Field Reports and we again went over the requirements for satisfactory completion of the clean- up on the Placid location. I then contacted Mr. Jim Taylor, contractor for the )4obil Oil Corporation, and made provisions to spend the night at Nabor's camp at Mr. Taylor's request. At 4:30 p.m. I left with Mr. Taylor and his pilot in the Mobil chartered helicopter and headed for the West Kadleroshilik location. Mobil's West Kadle~shilik No. 1, Section 14, T5N, R14E, U.M, (PaA, March 1.8, 1974}_- This wel'l i'S one Of'Several. le~Ses and wells. Which have i~'en'i~ra'ns ferred from federal authority to state authority. This was.. my second visit to this location. I had inspected this location and requested additional work to be performed, before it could be. satisfactorily completed. Photo #12 was taken near the ice airstrip location and it shows a pile of tundra, grass and material that was scooped up when an area was cleared of snow. The snow and ice is just about all melted now, leaving just a pile of tundra grass. There seems to be no problem here since there appears to be no tundra damage... Photo. #13 is a picture of the reseeded airstrip area.. Close inspection showed this to be in very good condition with the new seed growth' coming on. P..omer L. t)urrell -4- September 17, 1974 Photo #14 shows the wellhead on the left side with the tip of the P&A marker sticking up above the mound of dirt around the wellhead. At the time of my first visit this marker was already in place. At the request of the U.S.G.S. It was welded to the side of the high wellhead rather than on the top of the top flange so that it would be less noticeable (according to a U.S.G.S. rep.) I allowed it to stay there, even though it is not the normal installation. 'fhe large area in the foreground was the pit area where the gravel boulders had been stacked and was now leveled and smooth, Photo #15 is a picture of a portion of the pit area and the camp area'in the background. Photo #16 is a different view of the pit area and the well- head with the mound of dirt covering the wellhead.- Photo #17 and ~18 shows the areas of the-campsite where much debrts and trash had {~en-l~lea~up. lQ)ts location was extremely well cleaned up and looks very good. I complimented Mr. Taylor on the completeness of the work. Since I had no additional Field Trip Report forms with me I took Mr. Taylor's copy - of the previous Field Trip Report form of 7'31-74. and wrote on the bottom that the unsatisfactory items had been corrected and that the "Final abandon- merit and location clean-up approved 9-3-74." . . We had a strong wind of approximately 45..-knots blowing from the east. The chopper pilot did not even leave th~.. controls, while I quickly walked the location with Mr. Taylor and made the previously mentioned photos. We then boarded the chopper again and headed for the Belt location, Mobil's Bell Unit )~o. l, Section 8, T4N, R23E, U.M. (P.&A, June 24, 1'973) . ~S we ap'plroached b~e B'ei'i" 'loc~tion from the southwest I took Ph'oto #19 and ~_2Q frmn the air. Photo #19 shows the location with the wellhead ma-F~er in the center; the camp & sup~plY pad area; the short road and the Beaver air- strip that was finally constructed when this well was unable to be finish6d during the winter. Photo #20 is a close-up of the vlell pad, with the P&A marker and a mound of dirt around the wellhead shown in the center. It has rained quite a bit during the work on this location, and water is still standing in all the tracks in the filled pit area. The foreground of the picture is very ~et and not completely smooth due to the vehicle {cat) tracks. After circling the location we landed. With the wind still very high the chopper pilot stayed in the aircraft.. Mr. Taylor and I walked the location.. I took Photo ~21 from the southwest corner of the pad area, looking across the fil'l'ed ptt~ ~toward the wellhead._ As I mentioned in my previous report, the so called "gravel" used on this location is really a mixture of conglomerate rocks with dirt and would be a very coarse textured surface even under-the. most ideal grading conditions, i could tell that considerable work had been. done since my previous visit and that the pit area was in much better condition. i took Photo #22 standing on the mound of dirt by the P&A marker and looking toward the southwest across the filled pit area. I walked up to the short road leading to the airstrip and took Photo #23 of the supply pad area. I '. then walked back to the north along the east edge of the pad and took Photo #24, looking west toward the wellhead marker and helicopter. Homer L. Burrell -5- SepteJWaer 17, 1974 All the debris had been removed as I had requested on n~y previous visit and the dirt work had bun com, pleted. Again, using .Mr. Tay!or's copy of the previous Field Inspection Report dated July 31, 1974, I wrote "items corrected, Final abandonment and location clean-up approved, Sept~m, ber 3, 1974." We loaded back into the chopper and headed for the Mikkelsen Bay State loca- tion. Moh~l': Mikkelsen Bay State ~,o,. 1. Section }3~ TgN. R19E, U.M. (P&~ ,- Se .premier -30, 1970) we arrived at the )4ikkelsen u~y lo6ation about (~:3(~ p.m.~ a~p~o'achi~'g from the southwest. I took three photos of this location all from approximately the same angle and all from the air. They. each give a progressively closer view of the well cleaned and leveled pad with the dirt mounded around the well- head and the P&A marker in the center. The first photo, Photo #25 allows, one to see the lakes around the location and the road leading off 'to the airstrip.. Photo #26 is essentially a close up · of the pad area with the road leading off to the airstrip in the background... I _. could see from this view that the large amount of trash, m~.terial, and iron that had been located on the southwest corner of the pad area had been picked up and removed. As we came closer I took Photo #27, showing just the pad area with the smooth graded gravel, the dirt mounded a~6Und the wellhead, with the P&A marker-. -~'~? Following this photo we circled over the location, so that I could view areas where trash had been removed. I could also see the well filled and graded area on the northwest corner of the pad where I had discovered a sunken area with a puddle of oil on my previous visit. We then headed for Bullen Point, Mobil's supply depot, on the Beaufort Sea coastline. I noted on Mr. Taylor's copy of my previous inspection report, dated July 7, 1974 that all unsatisfactory items had been "corrected and Final abandonment and location, clean-up was approved September 3, t974." We arrived at Mobil's Bullen Point supply depot at 7:00 p.m. with the high winds stil'l in progress. We could see that all of the available crewmen were out trying to contain the pillow tanks and pit liners which were trying to blow out of position. After landing and anchoring down the helicopter we all aided in tying down the pillow tank liners and later had dinner. We returned to Deadhorse at 9:15 p.m. The chopper pilot dropped me off at the ~;abor's camp where I spent the night. ThurSday, September 4, 1974 - I made plans to depart Deadhorse on the 9:45 a.m. flight and af~.r obtaTning transportation to the airport, found the flight was delayed. Finally, the plane arrived and. we departed at 12:15 p.m. I arrived in Anchorage, after stopping in Fairbanks, at approximately 3:00 p.m. .On this fie)d trip I n~.de a preliminarY inspection of Placid'$ Beenhey Point ~ocation, where I required additional work to be performed, and Exxon's Point Stor- kersen location, where I likewise will require additional work to be performed. Homer L. Burrell -6- September 17, 197¢ and Placid's Staging Area which I considered in satisfactory condition.

As we passed over the locatiOn I took a picture from the air, Photo ¢il (all photos attached). Then we flew to what had been the ice airstrip and landed to observe the tundra and to see how the growth was coming along where the airstrip had been used. We also landed at the northeast end of the airstrip where a collection of tundra material had been scrapped over the ice arid sno~. There appeared to be no permanent damage to the tundra, just a pile of melting ice and snow 'intermixed with grass and roots. Ne flew back to the well location, landed a)td made a ground inspection, where I took Photo #2. This photo shows some of the gravel-ice boulders that ~,~,ere placed o~ top of the pit area and wellhead with the P&A marker attached.. Mis- cel laneous trash a)~d debris can be seen in the foreground. I 'then stood on top of the gravel boulders in the pit area and took Photo #3. This photo is similar to Photo #2 with the exception that you .can see the Fra~klin Bluff area in the background where the falcons have been nesting. Work cannot continue at this location until after ~,ugust 15, when the falcons have completed their nesting. After walking the perimeter of the well location we discussed the leveling of the gravel over the pit area where the frozen gravel boulders h~d been placed. I requested that .the gravel be worked toward the wellhead and tie in with the gravel mound around the wellhead so that it would be more or less level. After we took off I took Photo.#4 which shows not only the pit and the wellhead but the campsite area v~he~-e-~ was a collection of debris and trash which must be buried. Mobil's Echooka Unit #I,.

This b~n~ has been reseeded and, even t,qough it is not apparent in the picture, the grass is coming along quite strong. In the background ca~ be seen the gravel road that leads to the river, on t?}e right there is a filled in area with a portion which slink, and due to ti~e drainage from the hillside there has been a pool accumulate there. " Photo ¢6 is a view toward the well pad from across the filled reserve pit area, which is in the foreground. It shows a drainage ditch coming from the hillside into the filled area where a chaFmel has erroded. The P&A marker can be seen in the background as. can the geophysical camp which is using the gravel roadways and airstrip as a su~er base camp. Photo #7 shows the filled in pit area and how part of i.t has sunk quite a bit. There are bits of debris showing, pieces of pipe, boards, rubber protectors, barrels, and in the background can be seen the P&A marker. ' ~ ~t8, Pno'J.o., in this photo the P&A marker can be seen ~,~elded to the ~ellhead flange, the temperature survey nipple and valve connected to the center of the flange and the filled in cellar area° I recommended that more gravel be t,~at has started pushed into the reserve pit area both to cover the debris ~ poking up and to make the pool collection area much smaller. 14y recorp~n, emdations for further work at this location will be passed on to U.S.G.S. representatives and are J~ot requir..d direc%ly of 'the operator by this division. ~lc_Cul__l_~qh - Fin Creek Unit -#1_, Sec 25_~ T2N, ~]_8~~.~4_~ ~Fed - P&A 12~9-72)__ Ne deaprted Eci~ooka location at ll:O0 a.m. and flew over to the ~qcCullogh Fin Creek Unit ~,~l location in just a fly over.

I took t,~,~o photos of this location. This lease and well ~.~ill be transferred to the state from the federal government in the near future, and since the rig and camp are still in place, there will be some future clean-up work and inspections by this division.

The rig has been here since 1969 when the well ~tas abandoned due to litigation. It is apparent that the weather is taking its toll on the builcfings and equipment.

The inspection revealed that bears had broken into K:ost oF the crew camp quarters. The d~lage was mostly confined to the ~F. ethod of entry through the. doors or by tearing the doors off. ~!r. Shaw was particularly interested in the condition of this rig since t~obil has the rig on retainer and plans to drill two ~lells this winter the one rig. Available rigs are rather tight on the North Slope at this time due to the increase in drilling activity. ~iobil is organizing to cut down time to a minimum when moving onto a new location and activating the rig for drilling operations. They feel they will be very pressed to drill the two wells that are planned and make the move between wells during the normal winter time span. They hope to accomplish this by F~)oving the camp before freeze-up by using rolligons under special pen)~its. This would require about tv~enty trips from the t~$est Kavik location, across the t~mdra to the northeast to the Beli location, and from there north to the coast area and across to the vicinity of their Bullen's Point staging area (40 miles), and from there approximately 8 miles south of the Mikkelsen Bay State #1 welt to the )'~,ew location.

After we landed ! ~alked the perimeter of the location and took Photo ~12 of the P&A marker. This photo also shows how coarse the so called §ravel is here. It is a mixture of dirt and ungraded rocks, it ranges from small pebbles on up into the boulder size. It is very hard to do a smooth job of leveling or grading with this type of soil. Photo #13 is from the caF~psite pad back toward the wellhead and shows the partially filled and leveled pit area and the P&A marker. Photo #14 is from the southwest corner of the pit area, looking back toward ~e-ilhead marker that can be seen in the background. The pit area, was still pretty wet and unleveled. Several boards, wire rope and pieces of debris had not been covered, and a great deal of moisture is being squeezed out of ti~e F~ud that was in the pit when filling co~]nced.

In the background can be seen neat 'stacks of supplies (item 3), equipment (item 9), a building (item 4), and a fuel revetment (item I0), with a pi I Iow tank roi led up on the ground. I walked to the southwest corner of the pad and took Photo #6, showing a stack of tubing and'casing (item I) located on the west edge of the pad , (item 12) with its uneven gravel and, in the foreground, a stack of fuel drums (item 13), some empty and some full of fuel. Also a box containing a pillow tank (item 14) and a large stack of wood piling, (item 15) is-in view. Photo #7 was also taken from the stack of tubing and casing (item !1) looking across to the east. It shows a stack of miscellaneous pipe and metal supplies (item 16) and across the pit area (item 2) a large stack of mud supplies (item 17) with the building (item 4) to the left side. Closer examination of the stacked mud supplies showed them to be in very poor condition with many of the sacks burst' or the container had leaked sufficiently to al Iow water and moisture to get to the mud which had burst the sacks due to swelling, ph.o~.o #.8, a view from the south to the northeast, shows a large stack of pi ling and boards (item 15), the wellhead and marker (item I) in the background with other stacks of supplies (item 3) and the building (item 4) beyond that. The helicopter can also be seen near the lake on the north edge of the pad. Photo #9, a photo looking to the northeast along the north edge of the pad, shows the fuel revetment (item I0) with the gravel berm (item 18) partly covered by a plastic liner (item 19) which has been partly burned along with some boards. The remains of the boards and liner are now trash. A rolled up pillow tank (item 14) can be seen in the foreground. Photo #10 was taken from the southeast corner of the drilisite pad looking from the northeast across the pad at the area where the drilling crew camp (item 20) had been located for this driilsite. Scattered and ungraded gravel areas are evident in this photo as well as scattered boards (item 21) and a trash pile (item 22). Photo II was also taken from the vicinity of the southeast corner of the drillsite pad, but it is looking back over the stack of deteriorated mud (item 17), across the tundra to the south. In the background can be seen pieces of plastic, paper and trash (item 23). The pit area can also be seen in this photo, it. appears to be just another lake, (item 2). The nine photos at this location show the progress of the work to date per- formed by Mobil's crews. This well was plugged and "Abandoned" on July 2, 1971 and awaits clean-up so that the final location inspection can be made. Major equipment and materials have been pi led in neat stacks large enough so they may be located' in the winter time when the frozen tund.ra will al low hauling to a permanent location. There appears to be much work that hasn't been done, such as hand pick-up of trash and debris. This work will have to done in the summer time when the snow isn't there to cover the debris. The wel l- head work has not been completed, no attempt at grading the pad, fi I ling in the celiar, pulling the mouse and rat hole casements, covering or cutting up the pilings, leveling the fuel revetment or filling in the pit area, has been attempted. The paper work on this wel I, based on a P-3, approved July 15, 1971 indicates that clean-up work was to have been performed and supplies Homer L. Burrel ! ~ November 30, i973 moved out by the end of fall of 1971, as the weather permitted. It appears we are at least two seasons away from the final inspection of this location where the well was plugged 2½ years ago. I recommend that we contact the operator with regards to his intentions and timing to complete the final abandonment of this location. We arrived back in the vicinity/ of the ARCO's base camp at Prudhoe Bay at 3:55 p.m. To the northwest there appeared to be enough light to continue inspection and photos so I had the pi lot head for the Point Storkersen well. As we flew past the Point Mclntyre landing strip ! noted the tremendous amount of clean-up ~work that had been performed in that vicinity. Large stacks of oil drums had been stock pi led in neat stacks. Trash and debris had also been picked up and piled, i noted a crew of three men working along the coastline at the time we flew past and i saw more pi les of drums and debris stacked along the beach area.

Both the rat and mouse hole casements (item 7) are still in place. Photo #.1~4_, taken looking east along the south edge of the gravel pad, shows the location (item 4) of the-old camp area. This area was originally one of the dirtiest areas of the location. It is now remarkably clean; however, there are still bits of trash (item 8) such as paper cups, cans and such that need to be picked up. Photo #15 is a wiew of the wellhead (item I) looking toward the north. This picture is dark even with the camera open to the widest setting. Several things can be seen how- ever, in the foreground are some boards and also a steel band sticking out of the gravel (item 9). These items obviously were not picked up after the back dragging was complete. Item I0 is gravel that was never graded level. Photo #16 was looking ~,o the east from the edge of the gravel pad and sho~s the lake (item I!) east of the location, miscellaneous debris (item 12), both in and around the lake, and one of the buildings (item 13) at the Point Mclntyre landing strip.

Bu rre I I November 30, 1973 · This well was plugged and "Abandoned" September 3, 1970 but location clean-up for the final inspection has yet to be accomplished. It is obvious that a great deal of work has occured at this location since my previous inspection here In August of 1972; however, the work is not complete, tt is evident from several of the photos that additional hand clean-up, work is necessary both on the pad and In the vicinity around the pad. The wellhead itself is in an unsatisfactory condition with the christmas tree being left in place. It should be removed and a proper P&A marker instal led. The cellar should be removed and or filled along with removal of all the refrigeration pipes and mouse and rat hole casements. The stack of miscellaneous supplies will have to · be removed prior to the final Inspection. It is recommended that the operator be contacted as to the timing and the amount of remaining work so that the final inspection can be performed next summer on this location. We departed the Point Storkersen location at 4:38 p.m.. It was too dark for any further work of this sort, however, it was still light enough for visual inspection so i had the pilot swing over the Kup Delta location which is very near to this location. (The possibiti, ty of this coastal area being fog bound the next morning was very imminent.) As we swung over the location Il could see that a great deal of clean-up had been done here since my last visit. It appeared, however, that the 30 foot aluminum mast that had been left on the location last year was still there. It does not belong to the operator and he doesn't consider it his responsibility to remove it. In general the location looked good and we swung back south and headed for Dead- horse, arriving at the Gay Airways helicopter landing area on the Deadhorse airstrip at 4:55 p.m. After making plans with the helicopter pi lot for an early morning departure I drove to the Mukluk base camp and got a roan for the even ing. At dinner I~met Mr. Tom Moseley, a geologist with the U.S.G.S., and found out that he had made plans to use the same helicopter for the next morning. Mr. Moseley was recording temperature data through the permafrost interval in many of the we l is that had been made ava i fable to their use on the North S I ope. .T_h..U.r.s..~day, Sep.tember 20, 1973 - We drove from the Mukluk base camp to Dead- horse airstrip and after loading Tom Moseley's equipment into the helicopter we took off at 7:i5 a.m. and headed for Prudhoe Bay where we landed at the Prudhoe Bay landing area and picked up Mr. Frank Hunt, an Arco foreman, who was to help Mr. Moseley with his survey.

Although there still remained a' small stack of materials, mostly boards to be removed from the location, I filled out a Field Trip Inspection Report (attaC~'e'd) statin_rg .that the final inspection would be approved when these items were removed..(commu- nication with Gulf and a duplicate photo of this location resulted in the re- moval of the trash and materials and a formal release of the bond on this lo- cation was approved). .. We departed .the.G_u!f location at I0:00 a.m. and headed back southeast where we soon flew past Mr. Bud Heimricks house and airstrip located on the Col- vi lie River Delta. ! took Photo #35 as: we flew past showing his house and miscellaneous buildings (item I), his airstrip (item 2) and a large stack of fuel barrels beyond his house (item 3). Union's Kalubik's'Creek Unit #_i, Sec. 10, Ti2Nj~ R8E., U.M. This well was plugged March 27, 1970 and is now waiting for clean-up and final location approval. Mr. Helmrick has a contract to clean up this location. As we flew past, I took Photo #36 showing the wellhead with marker (item i), the pit area (item 2), supplies and equipment still on the location (item 3) and the location of the rig stacked at the mouth of the Kal ubik River (item 4). As we proceeded back to Deadho'rse I took Photo #37 show ing BP's new Prudhoe Operations Camp under constrUction. The installation construction crews were at work putting it together. It shows the main bu!lding (item I), tanks in the background (item 2), and the Spine Road (item 3). Just a little ways down the road we came to the BP Central Power Plant where I took Photo #38, showing the power plant under construction (item i), the transformers (item 2) and the gas supply well location in the far background (item 3). We arrived back at the Gay Airways helicopter landing site at the east end of the Deadhorse strip at 10:37 a.m. and I quickly made arrangements to depart Deadhorse on the Wein flight at il:O0 a.m. i noticed the drilling rig had been moved from the location of the Socal well #31-25,at Deadhorse and a new control tower had- been constructed just to the west of the old Socal pad. Some suppl les have been stacked up around the wel Ihead but all of the rig equipment, debris and trash have been removed. The north edge of this pad had at one time been a regul.ar "dump ground" for camp trash. Homer L. Burrel I -7- November 30, 1973 I departed Deadhorse on the 12:15 p.m. flight and returned to Fairbanks and Anchorage by 3:00 p.m. On this field trip I took 38 photos of ten different locations on the North Slope covering an area from 50 mi les east of Deadhorse to 55 mi les west of Deadhorse and as far as 20 miles north of Deadhorse. This field inspection trip has already resulted in the final approval of the "A'bandoned" Colville Delta location (Gulf) and it has shown the degree of clean-up work that has been performed by operators on other locations, which gives a good idea of the work yet remaining to be done. It is recommended that we talk to certain operators concern ing work remai ni ng undone where we ! I s have been p i ugged, such as Exxon's Point. Storkersen and East Mikkelsen wells, Mobil's West Stalnes State and Mikkelsen State wel Is and Union's Kalubik Creek well. Attachments APPEND IX A Attachments PHOTO NO.

Sohio Petroleum Company 100 'Pine Street San Francisco, California 94111 June 26, 1981 PALYNOLOGICAL ANALYSES The following are the results of a palynological study of core samples from the indicated four Beaufort Coast wells in the State well ~library. The study was conducted by David I. Wharton, Sohio Petroleum Company, and reported to the Alaska Oil and Gas Conser- vation Commission June 26, 1981. The palynologic slides, within the respective intervals for each well, are available for refer- ence in the Commission's well sample library. MOBIL MIKKELSEN BAY STATE NO.1 (13-9-19) Five samples from cores No. 15 and No. 18 in the lower part of the Endicott Group, and three samples from cores No. 19 and No. 20 in the Neruokpuk Group were examined. Core samples from the Endicott Group (15101'-15102', 15106'- 15109' 15115'-15120' 15123'-15129', and 15905'-15919') yielded poorly'preserved assemblages of miospores including Lycospora spp., Corbulispora spp. Lophozonotriletes rarituberculatus ~] abundan'~'--~-~-~-~-~'{ites, wnlcn ln(~lcate a p~5~]ST~-~-~ se an (late Osagian to e~-~-l-~'-C-h-~sterian) age for this interval, Core samples from the Neruokpuk Group (16545'-16546', 16573'-16581, 16583'- 16598') were devoid of any identifiable palynomorphs. HUMBLE EAST MIKKELSEN BAY STATE NO.1 ('i0 One sample from core No. 2 in the higher part of the Endicott Group, and nine samples from cores No. 3 and No. 4 in the Neruok- puk Group were examined. The sample from the Endicott Group (12696'-12698') contained a poor miospore assemblage including the forms Lophozonotriletes raituberculatus Densosporites variomarginatus, and 'DT~TT~I%~ ~-{~ctus ~-he--Iatter species ~s res~r~c~e~ to ~h-~-~F~-~r- ~a. 1--~%an and early Visean (Osagian) of Western Europe. It has not been recorded previously from northern Alaska, nor, as far as I am aware, from Arctic Canada. Its precise stratigraphic signifi- cance is therefore not known. Nine samples from the Neruokpuk Group (13896'-13878', '13885'- 13894', 13903'-13908', 14605'-14608', 14611'-14620', 14621'- 14629' 14631'-14639' 14641'-14645' and 14657'-14660') contained no palynomorphs considered to be in place. Five of these samples contained very small numbers of Visean miospores presumed to represent contamination, in view of the nature of the accompany- ing kerogen which was quite atypical of the Endicott Group. o PALYNOLOGICAL ANA Sohio Petroleum Company June 26, 1981 Page 2 MOBIL WEST STAINES STATE NO.1 (18-9-23) (8 slides--13,125' to 13,326') Eight samples from cores No. 12 to No. 16 in the Neruokpuk Group were examined. These samples (13125'-13132', 13158'-13166', 13177'-13185', 13278'-13281~, 13283'-13292', 13297'-13301', 13312'-13316' and ' 13319.'-13326') contained nothing but highly carbonized organic debris of indeterminable origin. EXXON ALASKA STATE A-1 (40 slides--10,213' to 14,206') Thirty-five samples from cores No. 1 to No. 9 in the lower part of the Tertiary sequence and five samples from cores No. 12 to No. 14 in the Neruokpuk Group were examined. The samples from the Tertiary section spanned the intervals 10213'-10871' and 12428'-12756', those from the upper interVal being substantially more fossiliferous than those from the lower (oil-producing) interval. The higher interval is characterized by consistent occurrences of the pollen general Alnipollenites, Quercoidites, Tiliaepollenites, Caprifoliipites and Pterocayapol- lenites with sporadic occurrences of the dinoflagellates Spini- dinium densispinatum, Senegalinium micro~ranulatum, Phelodinium magnificum and Wetzeliella 'articulata, the fungal spores Pesavis tagluensis and Ctenosporites eskerensis, and the pollen Betulae- pollenites and Nudopollis. These assemblages are considered to indicate an early to mid-Eocene age. The lower interval is characterized by generally numerous and diverse fungal spores, including the forms Dicellaesporites, Multicellaesporites, and sporadic Pesavis tagluensis, nondescript disaccate pollen, the pollen Paraalnipollenites, and rare. organic-walled microplankton including Spinidinium densispinatum, Oligosphaerdium complex and Palaeoperi dinium sp. The scacity of-" triprojectate pollen which are generall~ frequent in the late Campanian to Maastrichtian of Arctic North America, the absence of the pollen Wodehouseia which characterizes the late Maastrichtian to earliest Paleocene of the. region, and of the Eocene and younger pollen Tiliaepollenites. which occurs consistently in the higher interval, together with the presence of the Paleocene to Eocene dinoflagellate Spinidin- ium densispinatum and the Paleocene pollen Paraalnipollenites, all support a Paleocene age for this interval.

No one met me at the airport as planned so I flagged a ride with a Frontier truck driver over to the Mukluk Camp and made arrangements for a room (3 P.M.) and picked up the contract vehicle. I received and signed for one drum of gas from Mukluk (ticket attached). I p~mped this drum of fuel into the extra gas tank mounted in the rear of the truck, which was suppOSed to hold 125 gallons of gas. One drum, 55 gallons, completely filled this tank so it was obvious that one drum had previously been put into the tank. The truck assigned has the~.number~2-25 on the fender and is a red, four-door cab, four-wheel drive, International pickup with five flotation tires, two heaters and a trickle charger-heater plug. It h~ad 1,209.7 miles on the odometer when acquired. There is no radio installed, no flasher and no box for survival gear. I talked with the Mukluk supervisor, Mr. Bob Sasser, who informed me that there probably would beno problem with most of the items except for ~he radio, which he wasn't sure about its availability, if it was to come through Mukluk or BP. I could not confi~nu if we were to get it from him or BP, or on whose frequency it would operate. He said he recommended the survival gear box and that it was no problem except that he did not have it cleared as to the contract on it and that he would check on both of these items with his office. He stated, as concerns the flasher, that they really weren't worthvfhiie and that he had found them to be unreliable at very low temperatures, but I told him that it was supposed to be on there due to the contract. It appears that we will need a few hand tools - if nothing else, just to help load gasoline. In fact, he asked if I had a pump; and, of course, I didn't. I used their pump and it looks as if there will a~ays be a pump available to use to load our gas. We have to load our o~n gas out of a drum. I checked with the BP drilling supervisor~ ::~. Jim Giilespie, and set up a possible witness of a BOP test on Thursday; but, the next morning, when I checked with >'iobil, they were almost i~amediateiy ready and available for me to witness BOP test on their two wildcat wells to the east - the West Staines State and the Mikkeisen Bay wells. I drove around and famil- iarized myself with some of the roads and visited a couple of suspended well !oca'~ions.

Burrell -2- Director July 28, 1970 The BOP testing of equipment began at 6 P.l~i. with the pipe rams, blind rams and manifold being tested to 5,000 psi. The hydrii was tested to 1,450 psi. The test was quite satisfactory, but when i requested that the safety ball valv~ on the floor be manually op~a~cd, i~ was found be inoper~ole by hand and required approximately fifteen minutes '~o lubricate and get the valve as freely operable as it should be. This valve obviously hadn't been actuated in some time. The test was compla~=d at 8 P.M. I signed the driller's log approving the tes~ and then proceeded to inspect the GSI seismograph can~sit~ which is fully reported in another transcript. i then proceeded back to Mikke!sen Bay on the helicopter, arriving at il P.M. At the Mikkeisen Bay well the operation under way was coring, ~Mnich was completed at approximately i0 A.M. on July 23. The company drilling superintendent for Mobil was Mr. Carl Gaw and the Reaains and Ba~es Rig 20 drilling foreman was Mr. Eugene Embry. The BOP test was begun at approximately 12:01 P.M.; however, they irmnediateiy ran into trouble with the test plug in seating it properly in the wellhead and damaged the "O" ring seal. The BOP test on this well was also very satisfactory, wi~h the pipe ra~s and blind rams and manifold all being tested to 5,000 psi and the hydril to 1,500 psi. The test and inspection was completed at 4 P.M. I rode the crew-change plane back to Deadhorse the next morning, arriving at approximately 10 A.M. I then checked wi~h the Mobil operations at Deadhorse and found out that the rig on Pad 37 to the west of Deadhorse had already completed a BOP check earlier in the week and another test was not due until next week. I told them that I did not want a special test and that I would try to catch them next week. i then proceeded ~o check with EP drilling operations and found out that they had completed the setting of their i3~' pipe on Rig No. i on Thursday and that the BOPE had been tested a~ that time..The hole was. just being completed on the other rig and it was due ~o be released in a few hours so I did not bother with trying to ge~ a tes'g on it. I then proceeded to Prudhoe Bay to check with the ARCO people concerning the production well test ~hat had bean pending and also about BOP test on their Drill Site 1-Drill Site 2 wells. I located and talked with Mr. Bud Lund who informed me the pending tes~ time was Tuesday of the next week.

Gilbreth, Jr. /j'J//t!._ Chief Petroleum Engineer ~ DATE : Ap r i 1 9, 19 70 FROM: Lonnie C. Smith Petroleum Engineer ~~.~ SUBJECT: Checking BOP Equipment on North Slope On March 31 I traveled to the North Slope by commercial aircraft arriving at Deadhorse at approximately 2:00 p.m. I made arrangements with the Mobil Oil Company's expeditor to proceed by their charter plane to the West Staines State No. 1 well. I was met there by their contract drilling foreman, ~~. Weldon Ingram, who informed me that they would be unable to test the well for a period of time because the proper plug testing equipment was not on location, but was expected on the next planeo It was to late to make any further arrangements so I stayed overnight at the West Staines and the next morning proceeded on the early morning flight to the Mikkelsen Bay State No. 1 well. . . \(O<\._\d-;;L The drilling foreman on the Mikkelsen State Bay werl is Mr. Paul Hodges, who informed me that they would not be able to pressure up to working pressure of the equipment, 5,000 psi, without getting a special Halliburton crew out at approxi- mately $1,000 per day. I informed him that we preferred a full working pressure' test because the drilling permit had been approved for a certain ultimate objec- tive and that was what this equipment was designed for. I did agree to accept the pressure he could put up with his rig pumps on the test. The pipe was pulled out of the hole at 11:30 p.mo on April 1, and we began our BOP testing and completed the pressure testing at 2:30 a.m. on April 2. Test pressures range from 2300 psi to 2650 psi on the equipment, however, the driller noted on the drilling log that the BOP equipment was tested to 2,000 psi, which I signed as a witness. Two leaks in the kill line were repaired before a satisfactory test was obtained. This mani- fold and BOP equipment stack is 5,000 psi equipment, however, I noted that there was only a 3,000 psi SWACO adjustable choke installed on the manifold. An internal blowout preventor type floor valve was available. I also inspected the location and informed Mr. Hodges that they needed a well sign and that the location should be cleaned up better, since there was considerable trash on all sides of the loca- tion and unburned trash pil~s in various locations around the pad. I also suggested that MObil might give more attention to putting complete berms around their pillow tank fuel storage areas. The fuel storage area is necessarily on the pad or adja- cent to it and very close to the well and. crew quarters. There are seven pillow tanks located at this well and a rupture in anyone could, with no berm involved, allow fuel to reach either the crew quarters or possibly the rig. The next morning Mr. Hodges informed me that well signs had been ordered for the MObil wells and that they would give more attention to the berms and clean up around the wells. \t.o~- \ð:O ~ \ <6-0<; -ð~) I returned to the West Staines State No. 1 well that afternoon. The new test plug had arr.ived and on the next trip the equipment could be tested. Unfortunately for me the bit they had run drilled for some 400 plus feet and was in the-well for over 24 hours, consequently it was 9:00 p.m. on April 3 before they were ready to pull the pipe. Even after this the geologists decided they would have to circulate the hole for some period of time and it was the next morning at 5:00 a.m. on April 4 before we were ready to test the BOP equipment. This particular well was riggQd up with the main kill line on the drilling spool placed right on top of the casing --." ~) Homer L. Burrell Page 2 April 9, 1970 head underneath the blind rams, and the test plug seated just below the blind rams above the main kill line, so it was necessary to take a blind flange off the side of the double blowout preventor stack in order to pump in just below the blind rams for testing. This wasn't the most satisfactory procedure since it was necessary to rob the kill line off of the drilling spool and place it on this new flange for the pressure test only, and then to replace it on the original hookup. The preventor equipment was tested with 1490 # and 3,000 # to my satisfaction. This well had a ball type valve installed below the kelly as well as the kelly cock. Both of these valves were actuated in my presence. They had both a ball type and an internal blowout preventor type valves available on the floor. An inspection of the location revealed that this well also did not have a well sign, that the location needed further cleanup, and that the berms around the storage pillow tanks were incomplete. On both Mobil wells the manifold system had been pressure tested when installed to 5,000 psi and was left filled with diesel oil to prevent freezing. Neither of the rigs had an auxiliary hydraulic pump and without the Halliburton pumps they could not pressure test the manifold system without the necessity of flushing, steaming and refilling it with oil to prevent freezing, following the test. Due to the trouble involved, the drilling foreman requested that the manifold systems not be ~e.sted. I considered both of these tests unsatisfactory fr~m the standpoint of being / overall incomplete (manifold not tested, kill systems changed, etc.) and at mini- V., fmum pressures and would recommend that the local Mobil drilling department be in- 01 0 formed of our lack of satisfaction with the BOP test on these two wells and other ::::-6\).....0 points such as well signs, pillow tank berms and the cleanup needed around these -(\1"' locations. , tJ \ d'- Rk-('O'~ ...b~ 6 ~E:....... I returned to Deadhorse on Mobil's charter flight at 7: 45 p )m. on April 4. --(D From Deadhorse I· contacted BP 8't the Mukluk camp and found out that their pro- posed test on Put River No. 1-11-12 had been postponed due to problems with the casing. I contacted the Gulf rig by side band radio and made arrangements to be picked up by the charter aircraft servicing the Gulf rig. I arrived at the Gulf rig on ColVill~~~~1~~te No. 1 at approximately 9:30 p.m. The pipe was almost out of the hole when I arrived and we immediatelyi proceeded to prepare for the BOP test. Rani preventors were tested with approxi- . mately 3500 to 3700 psi and the annular preventor was tested "lith 1500 psi. I witnessed the actuation of the kelly cock valve and was informed that there was a ball valve installed on the lower end of the kelly. An internal blowout preventor type valve was available on the rig floor. All preventors closed in approximately 5 seconds, which was the fastest closer on BOP's that I had witnessed on any test. All equipment was in excellent condition and the crew seemed to be better trained and better prepared on BOP procedures than any that I had encountered . so far to date. The manifold was well constructed and sized, with one positive /-(/ ~choke, one adjustable choke and one automatic adjustable 5,000 psi SWACO super ....\'l.{?"\ y- ·'choke. The manifold system on this well also was not tested, since it had been '\'i pressure tested and was now dry and would require steam cleaning and draining to ~ prevent freezing after any testing. The drilling foreman, ~~. Buzz Buzzard, was willing to test the choke manifold system, however, after reviewing their rig and equipment status I was completely satisfied that the manifold was in good order and felt sure that it had been tested adequately. We ,were finished with the BOP check by 11:30 p.m., only two hours after my arrival on location. ~, .---, Homer L.

Prior to the start of drilling a gravel pad of thickness sufficient to prevent degradation of permafrost will be constructed. '//]~ Access to this site will be only byan al!~s.~son gravel road or by aircraft. ~1¢~[~'~o the beginning of drilling, a sump of sufficient size to contain all waste fluids will be constructed. This sump must be impervious to oil and oil products at all seasons during the year. Prior to abandonment of the site, the sump must be cleaned of all oil and covered. 4.
