Reference: Issuance of Permanent Closure Approval for Inactive Reserve Pits
located at Gwydyr Bay State A-I, Plaghm Beechey Point #1, and
Placid et al P B State 1 --,
\ '\'0 ·-Q5L-\.
Dear Ms Pekich:
The Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (ADEC) has completed review
and public notice for permanent closure approval of the inactive reserve pits located at
the above reference sites located on the North Slope. The closure applications and
corrective action plans provided the required information describing the history and
conditions of the reserve pits( s), results of required water sampling, an assessment of the
potential risks posed by the drilling waste to human health and the environment as well as
proposed corrective actions. Corrective actions are completed at the sites. At Gwydry
Bay State A-I, all drilling was excavated for disposal by injection. At Plaghm Beechey
Point, the below grade reserve pit was capped in place with gravel from the exploration
pad. At Placid et ai, additional capping material was placed in a small pool of water
associated with the flair pit. Some residual sheening remains at Placid et al. ADEC has
determined that these sites present no material or probable risk to the public health or the
environment.
Public notice requesting comments on the closure requests was published March 7 and 8,
2003 in the Anchorage Daily News and posted on the state web site March 7, 2003. No
public comments objecting to closure approval were received in response to this public
notice. ADEC has determined that the reserve pits at these sites meet the closure
requirements of 18 AAC 60.440.
Closure Approval
Under authority of 18 AAC 60.440 (j), ADEC grants permanent closure approval to

Re: Preparation of Petrographic Thin-Sections of Cuttings and
Core Chips in. State Well Sample Library
Dear Dr. Brenckle:
Pursuant to Our recent discussions, permission is hereby 9rantcd
to Amoco Production Company to extract a maximum 1 cc. of sample
material per sample envelope or 1 cc. of core material per foot
of core from the State's set of samples and core chips for the
sole purpose of preparing petrographic thin-sections within the
indicated intervals in the following wells, subject to the conditicns
set forth below:

"· · . Samples~ 10,620'-11,760'
}~amilton Hi!ne.Pt. #18-1 Samples: 10,040'-11,500'
.
It is recognized that the above intervals occur within
intervals in these x~ells in which petrographic thln-sections
of ditch cuttings and/or~ core~ch.ips are already on file in
~he State sample librarl~ Accordingly, no thin-sections of
core chips will be m~de at those specific depths where
thin-sections have already been prepared. .In the case of
ditch cuttings, no thin-sections will ~ made except where
the composited interval per thin section is shorter than the
inter%~l included on the thin-sections already on file or
~uhere Satisfactory foraminiferal interpretation requires
e~mination across a larger quantity of cuttings.
Pr. Paul.'Brenckle ~ 2 ~-~ 18, 1982
.
In any case,, cuts of the samples and cores from the State
collection are to be extracted only from.those individual
envlopes or bags in ,which total content of cuttings or core
is greater than 10 cc. (No cuts are to be extracted if the
volume of 'material in the individual envelope is less than
l0 cc. )
.
Amoco will provide the State with a list of the intervals in
each well from which material was extracted.
4.
In the event that you wish to prepare blue-dyed thin-sections
for accentuating porosity, it i's requested that the sample
or core material be impregnated under vacuum with blue-dyed
epoxy prior to mounting of the material on the thin-section.

Ail petrographic thin-sections prepared are to be received
by .the Commission by approximately July 1, 1982 and are to
be transmitted direct to the Commission and not examined by
outside .Dartie s.

Ail residue and excess material is to be returned to the
Commission.
.
No additional slides are to be prepared nor analyses made on
the raw sample or core material without specific consent
from the Commission.
8. Amoco shall bear all costs entailed.
We are pleased to work with you in' this beneficial project and
look for%~ard to your company's continued exercise .of care and
good Judgement in the handling of this limited quantity of valuable
well material. I know. we both understand that the State's well
sample library is public property, and that granting Amoco permission
to extract portions of material.from .this libraz5, for the purpose

State #l (3-10-13)
Friday - September 20, 1974 - ! met Mr. Bill Van Alen of Placid Oil Company at
the airport a'nd""we boarded-a Wien Commercial flight for Deadhorse, arriving, after
much delay, at 1-O0 P.M. Due to our late arrival the helicopter that Mr. Van Alert
had reserved for our use had been deployed to another customer and we were unable
to obtain a helicopter. It was decided that we would proceed to the location by a
co~ination of truck and rolligon vehicles. The Bechtel Inc. foreman, Mr. John Garrett
drove us in his pickup truck to the ~paruk River where~by previous radio contacty
he had made arrangements for the rolligon and crew to meet us. Shortly after our
arrival at the Kuparuk River the rolligon arrived. We all boarded the rolligon
which followed the stream bed past Rivers' camp where we crossed the Kuparuk River
and continued across the Service City airstrip until we made contact with Mobtl's-
Kuparuk Road. We trave3ed the Mobil-Kuparuk Road until it swung back north and
connected with the old "ice" road going north to Beechey Point. After about an
hour and a half we arrived at Beechey Point and from there we cut across the tundra
to the west about 2 miles to the Placid well.
Plactd's Placid et al Plaghm Beec~ Point No. 1, Section 14, T13N, RllE, U.M.
(p~", januarY 12; 197i} '- The ioca~on 'aPpeared ~ery Well~' cleaned" ~nd ~ad~d'-
a~d was in much better condition than when I had previously visited earlier in
the month, {g-3-74). The ungraded areas had been leveled, trash picked up and
the erosion ditch across the filled pit area between the two lakes had been filled
to stop any further erosion. I took several pictures from the north-west corner
of the pad which I spliced together into one composite, Photo #l (all photos
attached). This photo shows the ~ell graded location with- the Well marker, filled
pit area, and filled erosion areas noted in the background. Photo ~2, shows the
well marker, the filled cellar, and the well covered ptlings.~--P-h-o'~-~-#3, shows a
close-up of the fill placed across the erosion ditch with the ro'lil~g°nand well
marker in the background. I walked the location and the pit area and found
several minor things. Photo ~4, shows the joint of pipe uncovered after ! found
the end sticking out of the 'erosion fill. This pipe was loaded onto the back of
the rolligon along with small pieces of metal and trash, which were carried off
of the location. At one place ! found apieee of cable sticking up out of the
gravel pad, Photo #5, which was tied onto the rolligon and after pulling it up~
found it was attached to a large 4x8 "deadman" about 8 feet long. This hole was
filled and smoothed and the deadman and cable placed on the 'back of the rolligon.
We loaded up and returned by the same route back to our pickup on the Kuparuk
River. On the trip one of the crew pointed out a used drill bit along the side
of the "ice" road which we s~pped and loaded on the rolltgon. I filled out a
Fteld Inspection Repgrt for~ (attached) and gave one copy to Mr. Van Alert. On
this form I tncl(cated that previous unsatisfactory items listed in my inspection
of September 3, lg74 had been corrected and ~hat final &bmnde~ment and location
clean-up were a.~rove~.

The crew in 'ti~ '~11~gon :beaded :back ~':~ i~r '~ t~i~e' S~th Tundra'~d to ~t'
the .cat operator back to the' Placid et al,State ~1 locatton so that he could complete
the work at that location. At the same time John Garrett drove us back by way of
the BP Spine Road to BP's Pad "A" whtch was the closest connecting road. Pad "A"
ltes about 2 mt1'es northeast from the Plactd location. From this point we watched
the ro111gon reach the Placid locatton by binoculars. The operator soon called by
radto and said that it would be Impossible for him to reach the locatton and take
us back to where the cat ~as working prtor to dark and suggested that we go to camp
and return in the morning. John Garrett drove us back to the Nabor's camp and re-
turned for the ~olltgon crew at the river later In the eventng.
~at_urday_ - _September_..2..1, 1974 - ~e returned to the Kuparuk River by truck and then
by rOlltgon across the Kupa~uk River do~n the South Tundra road that crosses the
location of the Placid well. We arrived at the locatton at 8:15 A.M. and the cat
operator immediately commenced covertng the remaining debris on the west edge of
the pad. Mr. Van Alert and myself walked :he location, reviewed the clean-up work
and took several photos of the well cleaned location. The attached composite photos
were taken from standing on top-of the rolltgon cab and show extremities of the pad.
Two y~ars ago, when I visited this location there were barrels, considerable trash,
pieces of pipe, plastic and miscellaneous debris scattered around and on the
location. Cc~osite Pho:~. ~l, shows South Tundra road going west from the pad; the
camp sewage pit off the~ west' edge of the pad; a barrel on the pad (carried off on
the rolligon); the rig piling with cap boards; the wellhead and cellar; the re-
serve pit and a filled burn pit. Photo #2, shows the second burn pit (filled with'
water} and the south edge of the pad':: ~_l~lto _~_3, shows the. cat covering the re-
maining trash and debris along the west edge e'f the pad by the ca~ sewage pit.
We departed with a small remaining amount of work still to be done by the cat
operator. We were driven, via the rolligon, back to our truck at the Kuparuk River
and continued to the Deadhorse airport and where we caught the Wien flight to
Anchorage arriving at 3:00 P.M. I made out a Field Trip Inspection Report,
attached, .and gave a copy to Mr. Van Alert. ! indicated that everything was satis-
factory on this location ~th the exception of a well sign which Mr. Van Alert
agreed to have made and installed on a fence to be placed around the wellhead.
On this field trip I inspected an abandoned well location and .alq~ed the final
.C1~. ! also verified the clean-up of a "Suspended" well location. The in-
stallation of a well sign has been required foe the suspended well.

locatten wlth the coatractor, let. Clark. An ungraded mound of dtrt on the east
edge of the pad needs le~llng, an area on the northwest corner of the pad
needs grading and sufficient gravel wtll have to be pulled from some areas of
the pad to refill the erosten c~1 that has occurred between the t~o lakes
across the pit fill area. ! also asked that addttlonal gravel be placed over
the ptlt~gs so that normal weathering would not expose them and that the cellar
boards be reeo~d and the cellar filled with gravel. They both assured me that
there would be no prob!ee to do this additional work and we headed back for
' Oeadhorse.
On the return flight ! requested that we stop by an Exxon locatton that was on
our way so that ! could make a brief Inspection. Mr. Van Allen readily agreed
to this and we had previously, discussed whether or not we would spllt the cost
but since Jt was such a miner amount of tJme Jnvolved, and not out of the way,
he saJd that there wou!d be no cost to the state for this stop and that Placid
would take care of t~ ce~lete chopper ticket. ! filled out a Field !nspec-

Tuesday, September 18~ 1973 I departed Anchorage by commercial aircar, rier,
arriving in Fairbanks at 7:50 a.m. Due to continued bad, foggy weather on
the North Slope the flight was unable to continue. Following a six hour delay,
the airline returned me to Anchorage and the flight was rescheduled the next
day.
Wednesday, . September 19~. 1973 - I departed Anchorage on the rescheduled flight
but the plane was unable to land at Fairbanks due to fog and rain. The flight
returned to Anchorage for fuel and then proceeded back to Fairbanks and on
to the North Slope arriving at Deadhorse in the early afternoon. I immediately'
made contact with the' Gay Airways Inc. helicopter pi lot and we decided the wea-
ther was sufficiently good and the daylight adequate for photos. We took off
at 2:20 p.m. and proceeded to the Mobil West Stalnes location, approximately
50 mi les east of Deadhorse. On the way we flew directly over two other loca-
tions.
Mobit's Mikkelsen Bay State #1.3-9-1.9., Sec. 13, T9N,. ~l.gE., U.M.
This well is approximately 30 miles east of Deadhorse. Mobil has not completed
the abandonment clean-up work at this well site where the well (item I) was
plugged and "Abandoned" September 30, 1970. Photo #1 (see Appendix A for all
photos) shows a large stack of mud supplies (item 2) beyond the open pit (item 3).
Other equipment (item 4) is stacked around the perimeter of the pad. This drill
site is viewed from the west toward the east. The gravel airstrip (item 5)'and
connecting road is in the background.

that this camp had recently been broken into by bears and as we swept past
the location ! could see the open doorway at the eaSt end of the campsite. (I
passed this information to the rig owners who went in two weeks later and re-
boarded-up the camp) This well was plugged back to 3000' and "Suspended" for
observation of permafrost on June 9, 1971.
Mobi I's West Staines State //18-9-23~ Sec. 18,~ .T9N.~..R.23..E.., U.M.
As we approached this location directly from the west I took the first (Photo #3)
of the nine attached photos (nos. 3-11) of this location. This aerial shot of
the West Staines State location, shows the well pad (item I), pits (item 2),
supplies (item 3) stacked on the pad and a building (item 4). We circled the

location, landed and ! took Photo #4 looking to the south showing the wellhead
marker (item !) and piles of supplies (item 3) on the south perimeter of the pad.
Photo #5, taken from the west side of the wellhead, looking across to the east,
shows the capped wei Ihead with the attached P&A marker (item I) the rat hole
(item 5) and the mouse hole (item 6) casements were still in place along with
the cellar (item 7) and the pilings (item 8) for the rig. In the background
can be seen neat stacks of supplies (item 3), equipment (item 9), a buildtng
(item 4), and a fuel revetment (item I0), with a pillow tank rolled 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 !) 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 II)~ 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
bui Idlng (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. Photo #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 drlllsite pad looking from
the northeast across the pad at the area where the drilling crew camp (item 20)
had been located for this drillsite. Scattered and ungraded gravel areas are
evident in this photo as well as scattered boards (item 21) and a trash pile
(item 22). Photo !1 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 tundra will al Iow 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 I-
head work has not been completed, no attempt at grading the pad, fi II lng 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 well, based on a P-3, approved July 15,
1971 indicates that clean-up work was to have been performed and supplies
Homer L. Burrell -3-
November 30, 1973
moved out by the end of fait 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 I 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. ! 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.
Exxon's Point Storkersen //I, Sec. 7,. TI2N.,.' R.I.4E,' .,U..M.
When we arrived at this well and circled the location I was. amazed at the
.remarkable clean-up job that had been accomplished for this had been one of
the unsightliest wel.I locations on the North Slope area. As we swung around
the location I took Photo #12 which was the first of eight photos (nos. 12-19)
taken at this location. This photo, taken looking toward the northeast, shows
the wellhead (item I), the filled in pit area (item 2), a neat stack of mis-
cellaneous supplies (item 3), and the old camp area (item 4). We landed and
I quickly took Photo #13~ Iookin9 toward the east showing the wel Ihead with
the christmas tree still in place ( item l ) with all outlets, both on the cas-
in9 and the christmas tree, closed with blind flanges. Cellar boards (item 5),
are still in place along with refrigeration pipes (item 6) which can be seen
sticking up around the perimeter of the cellar. Both the rat and mouse hole
casements (item 7) are still in place. Photo #1~, taken looking_east along the
south edge of the 9ravel 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 no,~
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 view 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 stickin9 out
of the gravel (item 9). These items obviously were not picked up after the
back draggin9 was complete. Item i0 is gravel that was never 9raded level.
Photo #16 was I ookin9 to the east from the edge of the 9ravel pad and shows
the lake (item !!) 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
landin9 strip. Photo //17 was taken looking toward the northwest and shows
the large neat .stack of miscellaneous supplies (item 3) that are to be re-
moved from the location and the northwest corner of the 9ravet pad (item 14).
Photo #18 shows two pieces of debris (item 15) located just off the north-
west corner of the pad. Photo /~19 shows the wellhead (item I) looking to
the south and the large neat stack of miscellaneous suppl les (item 3).

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. It 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 suppi les 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 t had the pilot swing over the Kup Delta location
which is very near to this location. (The possibility of this coastal area
being fog bound the next morning was very imminent.) As we swung over the
location t 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 room for
the evening.
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 t. hrough the permafrost interval in
many of the we~! Is that had been made available to their use on the North
S I ope.
Thursday~ Sept~em~..er...20~. 1~973 - We drove from the Mukl uk 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.

t]~e wei'lL ~ouse (item I)~ the drilling rig matting (item 2) and the open pit
area (item 3). After a brief landing to drop off the two men and their eqUip-
ment we continued to the northwest and soon arrived at the Kup Delta location.

i took Photo #21 from the air as we approached the location from the south-
east, the Beaufort Sea can be seen to the north and northwest. This photo
shows the wellhead (item I), the filled pit area (item 2), the camp area
(item 3), the 30 foot aluminum tower (item 4) and tracks made by a roi I-
agon (item 5). These tracks are not as damaging as they might appear, for
they only mashed down the grass which appear In the photo to be a heavy deep
track. Two wells were drilled from this location, but there is only one
surface hole because the second well was kicked off at the 3,000 foot level
after the first well had been abandoned. We landed and I. took Photo #22,
looking back toward the northeast showing the wellhead (item I) with blind
flange, the 30 foot aluminum tower (item 4) and the cellar (item 6); the
helicopter can aisc be seen in this photo. Photo #23~ was taken looking toward
the northwest from the edge of the old pit area and shows trash (item 7)
scattered over a cons iderab le area. Photo #24~ was taken from the woutheast
portion of the pad looking back toward the west and shows the wellhead and

taken on the tundra looking north along the west end of the pad and shows
some 3" X 12" boards that were left embedded in the tundra (item 9).
This well has been "Suspended" since August 26, 1970 and considerable clean-
up work has been performed here since my last visit in August of 1972. We
departed the Kup Delta at 8:55 a.m. and headed west for the Mi Ine Point loca-
tion.

Supply depot and I took Photo #26, which shows the gravel stock pile (item 1)
six full pillow tanks of fuel (item 2) and a large supply of casing and pil-
ing (item 3). This location seemed to be in the same clean condition as on
my previous vi sit last year.

After flying slightly past the Milne Point location we circled back and approached
it from the southeast and I took Photo //27. from the air which shows the well-
head (item i), the fuel revetment with two pillow tanks (item 2) and the level-
ed pit area (item 3). We landed and I took Photo #28~, iookin9 toward the
northwest, showin9 the wellhead with blind flanges on the christmas tree
(item 1) and the cellar and ri9 mattin9 still In place (item 3). I then took
Photo #29, lookin9 west along the north edge of the 9ravel pad,' showin9 the
fuel revetment with two full pillow tanks in place (item 2) and a wellsign on
the edge of the pad (item 4). Photo #30, was taken on the east edge of the
gravel pad looking north. It shows trash and debris scattered off the north-
east corner of the pad (item 5). This had been the location of the crew
quarters. Photo #31_, is looking from the middle of the pad toward the north-
west and shows scattered debris on the northwest corner of the pad (item 6).
This well was "Suspended" July 18, 1970 and considerablb clean-up work had
been done since my last visit in August 1972.
We took off at 9:25 a.m. and headed west for the Colville River delta area.

'There was very little to distinguish this location since It is on the Colvtlle
Delta, which is sometimes under water at high tide or when the river runs high.
We soon located the well and I took Photo #32, from the air, looking toward the
west which shows the wellhead.(item I) and a stack of material (item 2). We
landed and I took Photo #33, looking toward the west which shows the wellhead
with P&A marker in place (item i), a stack of material in the background
(item 2) and scme pieces of trash which were plastic material (item 3). Photo
#34_ was a similar view, taken from the north looking back to the south, showing
the wellhead..P&A marker (item I), a stack of material (item 2) and several
pieces of plastic tr-ash (item 3). This well has been plugged and "Abandoned"
and this was the final inspection on this location. 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 (atta~i~'e'd) stati.ntg .that
the final inspection would be approved when these items were removed..(c'ommu-
nication with Gulf and a duplicate photo of this location resulte~ 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 .Gulf location at I0:00 a.m. and headed back so. utheast where
we soon flew past Mr. Bud Helmricks house and airstrip located on the Col-
vi lie River Delta. I 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).

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 Deadhorse ! 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-building (item I),
tanks in the background (item 2), and the Spine Road (item 3)° Just a little
v~ays down the road we came to the BP Central Power ptant where I took Photo #3~8,
showing the p~er 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 I1:00 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 supplies have been stacked up around the wetlhead but all of the rig
equipment, debris and trash have been removed. The north edge of this pad
had at one time been a-regular "dump ground" for camp trash.

I departed Deadhorse on the 12.-15 p.m. flight and returned to Fairbanks and
Anchorage by 3:00 p.m,
0~ 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 concerning wOrk remaining undone where wel Is have been plugged, such
as Exxon's Point Storkersen and East Mikkelsen ~ells, Mobii's West Stalnes
State and Mikkelsen State wells and Union's Kalubik Creek well.

'ec I¢, ri'e;
I talked with Charlie Wark the BP Lease Superintendent, briefly and
found out that BP didn't expect to get started on their well #A-6 until
tonight or maybe tomorrow due to some repair work necessary on the rlg.
I drove to ARCO's Drill Site #2 and took a couple of photos (attached,
page 5) of this development drilling pad, Photo #2-1 shows: Item #1,
wellhead 6 thru i with the gravel pad completely clean and smooth.
A couple of barrels for trash can be seen near the wellheads; Item [!2,
is the reserve mud pit. Photo //2-2 shows: Item 31/I, the pit area with
considerable debris sticking up in it, mostly iron, boards and things
of that nature; Item /?2, is the west edge of the pad. Well number
one and six do not have well signs.
I drove to Deadhorse at 11:25 AM and met the Wien flight to pick up
Tommy Hutto with Placid 0il Co. We went to Haliburton's Camp where
['.,ir. Hutto had made arrangemnts for us to stay, checked into a room,
ate lunch and drove to Neighbors Camp to meet and pick up Lynn Stein,
who went on the trip with us from Gay Helicopters at Deadhorse at
I:00 PM. Well locations were inspected in the following order:
i. Placid - Placid et al. Prudhoe Bay State #1 ~(Se_c._ 7,_.T_ION_~...RI4_E, U.M.)
The weather was almost clear, with a high overcast and a light wind
with about 28 degrees. ~;,,'e circled 1his location before landing and !
tool< photo #1-1 (page 6) of the location, which shows: item ;?i, the
wellhead; Item ~;!2, the reserve mud pit; Item #3, the sewage pit for the
camp,' Item ~.~.";4, the old '~Tundra Road?~; item.;,.5 ~ , the burn pit; Item ~' ,
indicates the approximate location of the well test pit located off the
southeast corner of the pad. Photo #!-2 (page 6) shows: Item ~1,
the wellhead in a cellar, Item fi2, the reserve mud pit; Item #'3, a pile
of debris in the burn pit; Item #4, rig sills eh;bedded in the gravel.
Photo :~!-3 is view to the west from the west end of the pad showing'

rig was stacked on the t~'~'~~ion and is still there, making final
clean up of the location impossible un?il all equip~ient and supplies
c~n be moved. A considerable amounf of clean-up wo?k ~,¢as porforr,'~ed
at this location and I did not find the usual small trash or' debris.
I took three pho?os (page 7); #2-1 is a view to the sou?h which shoves=
Item #i, the P&A marker in the casing; Item #2, ?he leveled reserve
mud pit. Photo #2--2 is a view ~o the east showing' Item ?.,,'1, the

toward the west showing- Item #1, the P&A marker; item ~'~3, piling
and rig sills; Item #4, portions of ffhe stacked rig.
.~.:~r. f-lutto informed me of his plans to utilize por'i'ions of the gravel from
the north edge of the .pad to cover the pilings and pit area after
(and whenever) the rig is moved from the location.
-~. Placid -Stading Area on Beaufort Sea Coast (NE corner Sec. _14_,. TI3N,_.RIIE~.._U.~.:. ~'' )
~ Placid's stock pile of drilling supplies to support the Beechey Pt.
well is less than one mile frc~ the well and adjacent to the beach on the
Beaufort Sea.
i took three photos (page 8) fr~'n a pi ie of gravel at the south',~est corner
of the pad. The first photo is a view to the north shorting: Item /'-'-I,
the Beaufort Sea; item #2 equipment and supplies on a platform; item #3,
a forklift behind a stack of fuel barrels; Item ~4, a tool house;
ttem #5, stacks of piling and sills; Item '~

tubing; Item #7, five of the six pi Ilow tanks full of diesel fuel. These
pi llow tanks are well contained in a large bermed area along the east edge
of the pad. Photo #3-3 is a view to the southeast showing: Item ?6,

The gravel pad of this staging area is very level and well cared for
with absolutely no trash or debris on or off of the pad.
4. SOCAL- SocaI-Mobil #23-29 E (Sec. 29, TI2[)~__R~U.M.)
At m~ r-~qu~s~ ~ stopped at this well on o-u~r--~turn flighf to Deadhorse.
This was the Socai well I had been unable to locate the previous
evening due to darkness and heavy snow showers (see report of 10-20-72).
I took four photos (page 9) at this location. Photo #1-1 is slightly
blurred as it was taken from the moving chopper but it shows' Item #.1
the plywood building which covers the wellhead; Item #2, the reserve
mud pit containing a great deal of debris; Item #3, the rig sills and
piling; Item #4, the gravel pad; Item #5, the well test pit. Photo #i-2
is a view to the northeast showing: Item #2, the reserve mud pit;
Item t!3, the rig sills; Item #5, the well test pit; Item #6, trash and

. , ~:-7, trash and
mud pit; Item #6 trash and debris in the oit area; Item "'
debris pi led on the outside of the reserve pit berm; Item #9, trash and
pipe on the northwest edge of the pad.
This location had a very junky and unkept appearance and it did not appear
that any recent clean-up work' had been performed.
After returning to Deadhorse in the helicopter ! drove Hr. Tommy Hu~t'o and
myself to Hal i burton 's camp near Prudhoe Bay. We then drove to the
Neighbors Camp so Mr. Hutto could complete his instructions to' Ivlr. Stlne
about clean-up of the Placid locations. He asked my opinion as to what'
should be done specifically on the Placid et al. State #1 location and
I indicated that only hand plck-up of the small trash would be sufficient
until they decided what the final disposition of the well would be.
it was finally decided to wait till next Spring on the clean-up on both of
these locations.
5. SOCAL-SOCAL #51-25 (Sec_...2.5_, _T_ION, Rt4E_, U_.~_._)
I drove to Deadhorse to inspect this location which is adjacent to the
Deadhorse airstrip and camp. The rig is still stacked on this location
around the wel I. I took three photos here (page I0), one (#3-3) was
snapped from the chopper earlier as v;e approached for a landing. Photo
#3-1 shows' Item #1, the wellhead in a board covered cellar; Item
~'/2, pilling and si lis for the rig; Item ~73, portions of the stacked
rig. Photo #3-2 is from behind the \.'lien Consolidated al.rline office and
shoves: Item #3, the stacked rig on the well0ad; Item #6, a large
9arbarge and trash dump on the northwest corner of the well pad; Item
an insulated sewage line from the FAA facilities. Photo #3-3 shows:
Item i¢~1, the approximate location of the wellhead; Item 73, the
stacked rig on the well pad; Item #4, a portion of the Atwood camp
facilities and the FAA operated control tower; Item #5, BP's Put River
~724-I0-14 well and pad.
Thursday morning, September 14, 1972
A little better than a quarter of an inch of snow fell over night and
it appears that winter is here to stay on the North Slope. I returned
to Neighbors Camp to pick up my parka, which I had left there the
previous evening, t then drove to Deadhorse so that we could check in for
the flight to Anchorage and also stopped at Gay Helicopter's office to
pick up some photos that had been left in one of the helicopters.
I returned to the Prudhoe Bay area and drove to ARCO's DS #4 and ~ook a
photo, #3-1 (page !i), from that drill site showing' Item #1, the well-
heads of four wells; Item #2, the rig stacked around well #4-5; Item #3,
the reserve pit.
In discussions at the Deadhorse Airport a little later I learned
unofficially that the BP well /~A-6 was thought to have the seven inch

~'-' ~' , 1972

kd:~ing Darted so this wi 1I pro~)ablv slow the work and testing planned
'for that well.
Another news item worthy of noting, is that there is 4'0 be a new gravel
road built from behind the Wien facilities at Deadhorse '~o a point
straight across to the north adjoining the BP road that comes into the
pad on the BP Put River well '~'
;~:24--I0-14. The reason for this is ~hat it
wi il be much easier to maintain this new road, especially in the win'f-er.
The old road going from the Deadhorse strip over to the ['.;!ukluk Camp and
Prudhoe Bay was instal led in pieces, by different operators and is not
very thick with gravel. It meanders in several different directions
and there is no definite ownership, which has lead to many difficulties
where maintenance is concerned.
I departed Deadhorse at the ',,'lien flight at 12'35 and arrived in Anchorage
at 3:00 PM.
