Conservation Order No. 232 Endicott Field Endicott Oil Pool September 29, 1987 IT APPEARING THAT: · Standard Alaska Production Company (SAPC), by letter dated August 24, 1987, requested amendment of Rule 9 of Conser- vation Order No. 202. · Notice of public hearing was published in the Anchorage Daily News on September 5, 1987. 3. No protests were filed with the Commission. FINDINGS: . Improved technology for detecting gas behind casing is constantly being developed. · · Gas-oil contact movement will go through several phases during depletion of the Endicott Oil Pool. Flexibility in monitoring'gas-oil contact will be beneficial to reservoir management. Conservation Order No. 232 September 29, 1987 Page 2 NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED THAT Conservation Order No. 202, Rule 9, be amended to add the following as part (e). e) Upon application by the operator, the Commission may admini- stratively approve modification to the gas-oil contact monitoring program.

Ellis Armstrong Manager, Endicott Dcvclopmcnt BP Exploration (Alaska) Inc. P. O. Box 196612 gmchorage, AK. 99519-6612 Dear Mr. Armstrong: We have received your correspondence dated November 10, 1994 requesting revision of the Endicott Gas-Oil Contact (GOC) Monitoring Key Well Program. The revision would eliminate one well from the key well program, reducing the number of key wells to four. To date movement of the GOC has occurred through the 2B subzone in the 2-04/M-19 well. No additional movement has been detected since June, 1992. New surveys in this well would not provide GOC movement data due to a gas underrun in the upper 2A sand. The remaining four key wells and additional surveys in other wells are adequate to monitor GOC movement. The Commission determines removal of well 2-04/M-19 from the GOC Monitoring Key Well Program will not significantly affect the ability to monitor gas cap movement and will not promote waste. Thc Commission hereby approves removal of well 2-04/M-19 from the Endicott GOC Monitoring Key Well Program. DONE at Anchorage, Alas David W.

T. N. Tyler Manager, Endicott Development BP Exploration (Alaska) Inc. P. O. Box 196612 Anchorage, AK. 99519-6612 Dear Mr. Tyler: We have received your correspondence dated November 18, 1991 requesting revision of the Endicott Gas-Oil Contact (GOC) Monitoring Key Well Program. The revision would eliminate well 3-01/N-29 from the key well program, reducing the number of key.wells to five. To date no gas cap movement has been detected in the 3-01/N-29 well, new perforations exclude this well from effective monitoring of gas cap movement and information from the other five key wells have proved sufficient for monitoring gas movement. The Commission has determined removal of well 3-01/N-29 from the GOC Monitoring Key Well Program will not significantly affect the ability to monitor gas cap movement and will not promote waste. The Commission hereby approves removal of well 3-01/N-29 from the Endicott GOC Monitoring Key Well Program. Sincerely, Russell A. Douglass Commissioner BY ORDER OF THE COMMISSION Telecopy No. (907)276-7542 April 7, 1988 ADMINISTRATIVE APPROVAL NO. 232.1 Re: Exceptions to Conservation Order No. 202 rule 9(b) J. W. Buckee Standard Alaska Production P. O. Box 196612 Anchorage, Alaska 99519-6612 Dear Mr. Buckee: We have received your letter of 'March 11, 1988. On behalf of Standard Alaska Production Company you have requested exceptions to Conservation Order No. 202 rule 9(b) for sections 1, 3, 7, 9, 10 and 35 of the Endicott Oil Field. A review of Endicott Pool data confirms the sections in question are outside the areal gas cap limit of the reservoir. The Commission hereby waives the requirement of Conservation Order 202 rule 9(b) for sections~l, 3, 7, 9, 10 and 35 of the Endicott Field. This does not preclude wells drilled in these sections from future use as GOC monitoring wells.

In' its' place the Commission accepted a dedicated six well program for the Endicott Pool. In November, 1992, the Commission waived the requirement to further log key well. 3-01/N-29,. therby reducing the program to five wells. At this time, Well 2-04/M-19 is dedicated as a GOC monitoring key well for SubzOne 2B in the MPI portion of the pool.... . , ,, BPX (Alaska) formally requests that a waiver be granted to also remove Well 2-04/M-19 from the program, reducing the number of key wells to four. We offer the following observations to validate this request as follow-up to materials presented at our meeting of November 10, 1994. · To date, seven monitor and baseline surveys in Well 2-04 have documented movement of the original gas-oil contact throughout the entire 2B subzone. No movement of the gas cap has been seen since June 1992, and 'no additional movement of the contact will be observable on future monitor surveys. · A gas underrun has also occurred in the upper 2A sand in the well, removing the viability of.utilizing the well to monitor the 2A. · No existing well exists to sUbstitute for Well 2-04 in the program. · Historically, the acquisition of PNL surveillance data, to adequately support reservoir management, has exceeded the requirements of the key well program. For example, in 1994, a total of 18 PNL / CNL surveys have been acquired. Future infill drilling will also continue to provide information on gas-oil Contact and underrun gas movements.
