January 28, 1974 IT APPEARING THAT: 1. The Oil and Gas Conservation Committee published a notice of public hearing in the Anchorage Daily News on August 16, 1973, pursuant to Title 11, Alaska Administrative Code, Section 22.540. 2. A public hearing was held on September 11, 1973, in the City Council Chambers in the Z. J. Loussac Library, 5th Avenue and F Street, Anchorage, Alaska, at which time the applicants and other parties were heard. 3. The hearing record was combined with that for Conservation File No. 102 E, which related to the Middle Kenai Oil Pool of the Granite Point Field, because the same order was requested and Amoco Production Company was an applicant for both orders. 4. The Committee gave the substance of this order verbally to the applicants after the hearing. FINDINGS: 1. Pursuant to Rules 2 and 3 of Conservation Order No. 105, flaring or venting of casinghead gas in excess of the volume required for safety is permitted only in case of emergencies, and must be reported to the Committee within 96 hours after occurrence. 2. The Committee considers emergencies to be situations involving a danger to life or property. 3. During the period of routine repairs of gas handling equipment on the platforms, gas pipeline breaks, "turnarounds" of facilities using the gas, and other required repairs, overhauls and work on equipment downstream from the oil wells, beneficial utilization of some casinghead gas may not be feasible. These repairs and other work arise out of opera- tional necessity. Conserva ti on Order i' )5-C Page 2 January 28, 1974 ') 4. The history of such repairs and other work indicates gas handling equipment can usually be repaired or overhauled within a few days, pipe- line breaks may take several months to repair depending upon the time of year and weather conditions, and overhaul or "turnaround" of the Collier Carbon and Chemical Plant which is the market for the gas will probably take less than two months. 5. Most overhauls of gas handling equipment can be scheduled to coincide with the "turnaround" of the Collier Carbon and Chemical Plant, thereby minimizing the time during which the gas is not beneficially utilized. 6. No reasonable alternative use of the casinghead gas exists during the periods the gas handling equipment, pipeline or Collier Carbon and Chemical Plant is inoperative. 7. Operating experience in the referenced pools indicates that the shutting-in of wells may impair production rates for approximately 90 days after the wells are re-opened to production. CONCLUSIONS: 1. Repairs, overhauls or other work on gas handling equipment, pipelines and the onshore facilities beneficially utilizing the casinghead gas may be required. 2. The time required for these repairs, overhaul and other work may depend on conditions beyond the applicants' control. 3. The referenced pools are producing increasing quantities of water with the oil, and the possibility exists that shutting-in the wells will damage the producing zones. 4. Additional beneficial uses of the casinghead gas do not presently exist. 5. The flaring of casinghead gas, when required because of repairs, overhaul and other work on wells or on equipment and facilities downstream from the wells in the referenced pools, may be an operational necessity. NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED: Rule 1. Rule No. of Conservation Order No. 105 is hereby revoked. Rule 2. Rule No.2 of Conservation Order No. 105 is hereby amended to read as follows: Effective 7:00 a.m., October 1,1973, the flaring or venting of gas from the Middle Ground Shoal Field is prohibited except for the amount necessary for adequate safety flares or emergencies or as may be authorized by the Committee in cases of operational necessity exceeding 96 hours. Conservati on OrdeJ. f )-C Page 3 January 28, 1974 ) Rule 3. The commencement, nature and termination of all emergencies requiring flaring of casinghead gas in excess of the amount required for safety flares shall be reported to the Committee within 96 hours after occurrence. Rule 4. Any flaring or venting of gas in excess of 15 days per calendar quarter per platform, other than that required for safety, shall require Committee approval. Flaring or venting of gas in excess of the volume required for safety at a location other than a platform shall be deemed to have taken place at each platform. Rule 5. Commencing with the calendar quarter beginning January 1,1974, the operator of each platform or facility in or serving the referenced pools shall report in writing to the Committee the number of days gas was flared or vented in excess, of the volume required for safety, the reason for the flaring or venting, and shall identify the platform or facility. The report shall be submitted within 30 days following each calendar quarter.

Hamilton - Director Gentlemen: This letter is to confirm my telephone conversation this morning with your Mr. H. H. Hamilton in which I requested a fifteen day extension of the excess flare time limit for Platform HCH, Middle Ground Shoal Field. As stated in my letter of October 6, 1978, our York sales gas compressor experienced a failure on October 3. Upon tearing down the compressor, we found some excessive wear in the impeller assembly which required it being sent to the factory for repair. We expect the impeller assembly to be repaired and ready for shipment by Monday, November 6. However there is some uncertainty in the completion time of the repairs due to labor union problems at the plant. At this time, Platform HCH has exceeded its 700 MCFjday allowable flare for eleven days during this calendar quarter. I anticipate that by Monday, November 6 we will have exceeded our allowable flare volume for fourteen days. Due to the above conditions and the uncertainties involved in the time required to complete the repairs, I am requesting a fifteen day extension of the excess flare time limit. r~. L.

D~AFT PRESS RELEASE Shell Oil Company has recently paid a civil penalty of $5,000 to the State of Alaska for the unauthorized flaring of natural gas from a platform in Cook Inlet. The excess flaring took place during December 19ì6 and January 19ìì. The Oil and Gas Conservation Committee, Department of Natural Resources, imposed the penalty for the violation of one of its Conservation Orders under Alaska Statutes. The violation was the first of this nature for Shell and occurred in connection with the mechanical failure of a compressor on the platform. ~/ #21 ) EXCESSIVE GAS TO FLARE MONTH September 1977 COMMENCED (DATE/TIME) September 24, 1977 at 11:00 p.m. NATURE OF PROBLEM. .

On May 2, 1977, we notified your office that due to Collier Carbon and Chemical's annual "turnaround" we have an excessive flare at our East Forelands Delivery Facility. We have been advised by Collier that the "turnaround" would extend to at least May 21, 1977, and possibly beyond. We request administrative approval for the excessive flare until such time that we are able to ship gas to Collier. Since May 5, 1977, we have had e:xcessive flare on Platforms Baker and Dillon due to an obstruction that has plugged the gas line between Dillon and our onshore facility. At this time, we have not determined the cause of the plugged line, but G.re making every effort to clear the line.

Marshall, Jr. Executive Secretary Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Committee 3001 Porcupine Drive Anchorage, Alaska 99501 Dear Mr. Marshall, We give the following explanation for the lengthy shut down of the sales gas compressor on Shell's Platform "C", Middle Ground Shoal. The York sales gas compressor was shut down on October 28, 1975, due to a failure of the balance piston seal. Upon opening up the case of the compressor, it was discovered that extensive damage had been done to the entire rotor assembly. On the advise of the York service manager, the entire rotor assembly was removed and shipped back to the York factory in York, Pennsylvania, for repair. This was done on October 30. We received the repaired rotor back at the platform on December 16, 1975. The final shipment of parts to complete the repair was delayed at least two weeks because the York factory shut down for the Christmas holdiays from December 23 to January 4, 1976. We received the final ship- ment of parts on February 6. A York representative was brought on board and the reassembly of the compressor was started on February 7, 1976. The assembly continued until its completion on February 14, 1976. Test runs and adjustments were made and the sales gas compressor was back in operation on February 15, 1976. If I can provide any further information, please advise. Yours very truly, ~w.~~ \ 'I .; ~ : \." .,,:' .'., ~ \ \' '\ ~ ..J~\, \...., ¡\ 1 ~, ;. ~ ~ K. W.

This is required as an operationalnecess"i'ty in order·..·t:õ--r-ëpiãëë--ì:1ïë-Platform Baker gas compressor. We estimate that approximately 1.8 MMCFD of gas will be flared during this construction period. Amoco is currently preparing for the replacement of the platform gas compressor as it is no longer well-suited to platform operating condi- tions. The SLHC Worthington compressor was initially installed to provide high pressure gas for artificially lifting the producing wells by gas lift. Later in the life of the field, a slip stream was taken off the compressor discharge for high pressure fuel gas and for the sale of casinghead gas. We have now converted all producing wells to Kobe lift and have eliminated gas lift operations. Consequently, the exist- ing equipment is not properly sized to continue as a fuel and sales gas compressor. We are therefore replacing the Worthington equipment with an Ell compressor package which is better suited for current platform requirements. ~Œ©[U~!~J ..jW- Oa. Iq 15 OtY'lSfðlÙor ()/k,)i',N!) GAS t,; Cnl.)Rt-. (,E t" ~ ) ') - 2 - We now expect delivery of the Ell compressor in Alaska in late July. Consequently, we are requesting the authority to begin flaring all produced gas to allow the disassembly of the Worthington compressor to begin. We estimate that one month or more may be required to disassemble the compressor house, compressor, cooler, etc., for removal from the platform. This will be an extremely time-consuming task due to the physical size of equipment involved and the extensive degree of dis- assembly necessary to remove the equipment from the platform. Following removal of the compressor and associated equipment, we plan to proceed as rapidly as practical to complete the installation of the new compressor. Although we anticipate no major problems in this phase of the construction, we have allowed approximately a month for the installa- tion. We believe that these time requirements are realistic estimates for our planned construction and we respectfully request your approval to proceed. Yours very truly, ~~, ~-J- George J.

On the afternoon of October 25, 1974, a crack was discovered in one of the high pressure cylinders of the MGS Platform Baker gas compressor. The compressor was immediately shut down as a safety measure. As a consequence to the compressor shut-down, casinghead gas sales have been discontinued and the platform gas lift system is inoperative. We are continuing to burn casinghead gas as platform fuel gas with the excess gas being burned with the safety flare. This is periodically resulting in the platform flare exceeding the 700 MCFD permitted as a safety flare. Daily gas flaring has varied between 650 and 800 MCFD since the compressor was shut down, depending upon daily production, well downtime and fuel gas consumption. j]IE(GIEOWIE NOV 0 8 1914 !OJ DIVISiON o~ ANC¡¡O%~~EAND GAS ,) ) - 2 - We have now determined that a replacement compressor cylinder is not readily available in Alaska or the "Lower 48." Consequently, we have transported the damaged cylinder to Seattle for repair. We plan to repair the cracked cylinder with a root welding process. We estimate that the compressor should be returned to operation on or before November 15. We respectfully request Conservation Committee approval to continue exceeding the 700 MCFD safety flare volume until the com- pressor repairs are complete. Yours very truly, ~(1 -"- ~ ".~ ~ ¿; ~.
