STATE OF ALASKA ALASKA OIL AND GAS CONSERVATION COMMISSION 333 West 7th Avenue, Suite 100 Anchorage Alaska 99501 Proposed Rules Regulating Sustained Casing Pressures in Development Wells Within the Pt. McIntyre Field. ) ) ) Pt. McIntyre Field: All Pools ) ) October 16,2003 ) ) Conservation Order No. 503 Re: IT APPEARING THAT: 1. On its own motion, the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission ("Commission" or "AOGCC") proposed to adopt rules regulating sustained annulus pressures in Pt. McIntyre Field development wells. 2. Notice of opportunity for a public hearing on the proposal was published III the Anchorage Daily News on September 11,2003. 3. No request for a hearing was received. 4. Written comments on the proposal were received fÌ'om the Pt. McIntyre Field operator, BP Exploration (Alaska) Inc. ("BPXA"). FINDINGS 1. In considering proposed rules regulating sustained casing pressures in Pt. McIntyre Field development wells, the Commission reviewed: the annular pressure management policies submitted by the operator, BPXA; Applied Drilling Engineering by Bourgoyne, et al.; the Halliburton Cementing Tables; the Commission well files for the wells on BPXA's "A-B3" status list and on BPXA's waived well list; an annular pressure simulator developed by the Commission staff as contained in an MS Excel spreadsheet; information on well pressures provided by the operator; the hearing record in connection with Conservation Order No. 492; and written comments by BPXA in response to the September 11, 2003 notice of opportunity for public hearing. 2. Annulus pressure is common in development wells. Pressures may be purposely imposed, thermally induced or the result of leaks in tubing, casing, packer or other well components. 3. Excessive annular pressure can develop in wells as a result of thermal effects. Well startup can involve significant annular pressure increases due to fluid expansion as a well heats above ambient temperature. Changing produced fluid characteristics and production mechanisms can also create thermal conditions that affect annular pressures. Conservation Order 503 October 16, 2003 Page 2 of 4 4. For service (injection) wells, AOGCC regulations require, unless superseded by a Commission order, an operator to notify the Commission by the next working day if an injection rate, operating pressure observation, or pressure test indicates pressure communication or leakage in any casing, tubing, or packer. The operator must implement corrective action or increased surveillance, as the Commission requires (20 AAC 25.252(e) and 20 AAC 25.402(f)). . . 5. Unless specifically authorized by the Commission, AOGCC regulations require all producing wells capable of unassisted flow to be completed with suitable tubing and packer that effectively isolates the tubing-casing annulus from fluids being produced. Wellhead equipment must include appropriate gauges and valves on the tubing, casing-tubing annulus and casing-casing annuli to show surface pressures and control flow for the range of conditions expected (20 AAC 25.200(c) and (d)). 6. No current AOGCC regulation or Commission order for the Pt. McIntyre Field establishes annular pressure management requirements for producing wells, similar to those for injection wells. However, Conservation Order No. 492 establishes such requirements for producing wells in the Prudhoe Bay Field. 7. Several practicable techniques are available to manage annular pressures including manual pressure bleeding and engineered solutions such as pressure controls and pressure relief systems. 8. Values of "burst pressure rating" and "minimum internal yield pressure" of well tubulars are numerically equal. 9. Pertinent characteristics of well construction in the Pt. McIntyre Field are similar to those in the Prudhoe Bay Field. 10. Pressure in an active Pt. McIntyre Field well not exceeding 45% of the burst pressure rating, or minimum internal yield pressure, of well tubulars is within the range of pressure that will not result in failure of well integrity, uncontrolled release of fluid or pressure, or threat to human safety. 11. The gas lift system for Pt. McIntyre Field development wells operates at a pressure of 2500 psig. 12. The operator relies on a well pressure limit waiver process to continue operating Pt. McIntyre Field wells that exhibit inner annulus pressure exceeding 2500 psig with two pressure bleeds per week, or outer annulus pressure exceeding lOOO psig with two pressure bleeds per week. CONCLUSIONS 1. There is a need for regulatory oversight of the management of Pt. McIntyre Field wells that exceed specific pressure thresholds, by administering rules regulating annular pressures. This methodology is consistent with similarly intended efforts by other regulatory agencies. 2. The objectives of rules regulating sustained annular pressures in Pt. McIntyre Field development wells are to conserve Alaska petroleum resources and protect human safety and the environment, through proper management of annular pressures. Proper annular pressure management aims to prevent failure of well integrity, uncontrolled release of fluid or pressure, or threat to human safety. Conservation Order 503 . . October 16, 2003 Page 3 of4 3. Pt. McIntyre Field annular pressure rules should recognize the variety of well completions and development well characteristics in the Pt. McIntyre Field. 4. Well heating-induced annular pressure increases must be taken into account before initiating well start-up, to ensure that annular pressures at well operating temperature will not result in failure of well integrity, uncontrolled release of fluid or pressure, or threat to human safety. 5. The annular pressure rules adopted in this order are practicable and appropriate to the objectives stated in Conclusion 2. NOW THEREFORE IT IS ORDERED that Conservation Order No. 317 is amended to add the following rules: 1. The operator shall conduct and document a pressure test of tubulars and completion equipment in each development well at the time of installation or replacement that is sufficient to demonstrate that planned well operations will not result in failure of well integrity, uncontrolled release of fluid or pressure, or threat to human safety. 2. The operator shall monitor each development well daily to check for sustained pressure, except if prevented by extreme weather conditions, emergency situations, or similar unavoidable circumstances. Monitoring results shall be made available for AOGCC inspection. 3. The operator shall notify the AOGCC within three working days after the operator identifies a well as having (a) sustained inner annulus pressure that exceeds 2500 psig or (b) sustained outer annulus pressure that exceeds 1000 psig. 4. The AOGCC may require the operator to submit in an Application for Sundry Approvals (Fonn 10-403) a proposal for corrective action or increased surveillance for any development well having sustained pressure that exceeds a limit set out in paragraph 3 of this rule. The AOGCC may approve the operator's proposal or may require other corrective action or surveillance. The AOGCC may require that corrective action be verified by mechanical integrity testing or other AOGCC approved diagnostic tests. The operator shall give AOGCC sufficient notice of the testing schedule to allow AOGCC to witness the tests. 5. If the operator identifies sustained pressure in the inner annulus of a development well that exceeds 45% of the burst pressure rating of the well's production casing for inner annulus pressure, or sustained pressure in the outer annulus that exceeds 45% of the burst pressure rating of the well's surface casing for outer annulus pressure, the operator shall notify the AOGCC within three working days and take corrective action. Unless well conditions require the operator to take emergency corrective action before AOGCC approval can be obtained, the operator shall submit in an Application for Sundry Approvals (Fonn 10- 403) a proposal for corrective action. The AOGCC may approve the operator's proposal or may require other corrective action. The AOGCC may also require that corrective action be verified by mechanical integrity testing or other AOGCC approved diagnostic tests. The operator shall give AOGCC sufficient notice of the testing schedule to allow AOGCC to witness the tests. . . Conservation Order 503 October 16, 2003 Page 4 of 4 6. Except as otherwise approved by the AOGCC under paragraph 4 or 5 of these rules, before a shut-in well is placed in service, any annulus pressure must be relieved to a sufficient degree (a) that the inner annulus pressure at operating temperature will be below 2500 psig and (b) that the outer annulus pressure at operating temperature will be below 1000 psig. However, a well that is subject to paragraph 3, but not paragraph 5, of these rules may reach an annulus pressure at operating temperature that is described in the operator's notification to the AOGCC under paragraph 3, unless the AOGCC prescribes a different limit. 7. For purposes of these rules, "inner annulus" means the space in a well between tubing and production casing; "outer annulus" means the space in a well between production casing and surface casing; "sustained pressure" means pressure that (a) is measurable at the casing head of an annulus, (b) is not caused solely by temperature fluctuations, and (c) is not pressure that has been applied intentionally. DONE at Anchorage, Alaska and dated October 16,2003. Daniel T. Seam nt, Jr., Commissioner Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission AS 31.05.080 provides that within 20 days after receipt of written notice of the entry of an order, a person affected by it may file with the Commission an application for rehearing. A request for rehearing must be received by 4:30 PM on the 23rd day following the date of the order, or next working day if a holiday or weekend, to be timely filed. The Commission shall grant or refuse the application in whole or in part within 10 days. The Commission can refuse an application by not acting on it within the lO-day period. An affected person has 30 days from the date the Commission refuses the application or mails (or otherwise distributes) an order upon rehearing, both being the final order of the Commission, to appeal the decision to Superior Court. Where a request for rehearing is denied by nonaction of the Commission, the 30-day period for appeal to Superior Court runs from the date on which the request is deemed denied (i.e., lOth day after the application for rehearing was filed). #4 - --- --------0 - - - -- -.--.J - - - ~ e e Co So 3 Subject: Re: Weekly SCP Report for Week Ending 5 February 2006 From: Winton Aubert <winton.:... aubert@admin.state.ak.us> Date:Wed,08Feþ200614;1O:1J.-0900 ..

McIntyre, Niakuk, Badami, and Northstar Fields. Wells exhibiting sustained casing pressures that are within the Niakuk Pool, which is in turn within the Prudhoe Bay Field, are governed by Conservation Order 492. The Niakuk Field was erroneously listed in the September 11, 2003 notice, and will not be the subject of future conservation orders governing sustained casing pressures in wells.

Mcintyre, Niakuk, Badami and North Star Fields. BPXA does not wish to participate in the tentatively scheduled consolidated public hearing set for October 15, 2003. Rather we submit the following comments related to this subject. 1. It is BPXA's understanding that Niakuk is a pool within the Prudhoe Bay Field, therefore is currently addressed in Conservation Order No. 492. Consequently we believe that a eparate Conservation Order for Niakuk is not necessary. 2. Gas lift pressures for Endicott and pt. Mcintyre are 2,500 psig. Therefore BPXA equests that rules related to these fields reflect inner annulus pressures of 2,500 psig. Please call me if you any questions. Regards, Harold R.

McIntyre, Niakuk, Badami and Northstar Field. The Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission ("Commission"), on its own motion, proposes to establish rules regulating sustained casing pressures in development wells in all pools within the Endicott, Pt. McIntyre, Niakuk, Badami and Northstar Field. The proposed rules may be inspected at the Commissions offices or on its web site at http://www.state.ak.us/local/akpages/ADMIN/ogc/homeogc.htm. The Commission has tentatively set a consolidated public hearing on these proposed actions for October 15,2003 at 9:00 am at the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission at 333 West 7th Avenue, Suite 100, Anchorage, Alaska 99501. A person may request that the tentatively scheduled hearing be held by filing a written request with the Commission no later than 4:30 pm on September 30, 2003. If a request for a hearing is not timely filed, the Commission will consider the issuance of orders without a hearing. To learn if the Commission will hold the public hearing, please call 793-1221. In addition, a person may submit written comments regarding these proposed actions to the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission at 333 West 7th Avenue, Suite 100, Anchorage, Alaska 99501. Written comments must be received no later than 4:30 pm on October 10, 2003, except that if the Commission decides to hold a public hearing, written comments must be received no later than 9:00 am on October 15,2003.

McIntyre, Niakuk, Badami, and N orthstar Annular Pressure Order September 11, 2003 1. The operator shall conduct and document a pressure test of tubulars and completion equip- ment in each development well at the time of installation or replacement that is sufficient to demonstrate that planned well operations will not result in failure of well integrity, uncon- trolled release of fluid or pressure, or threat to human safety. 2. The operator shall monitor each development well daily to check for sustained pressure, except if prevented by extreme weather conditions, emergency situations, or similar un- avoidable circumstances. Monitoring results shall be made available for AOGCC inspec- tion. 3. The operator shall notify the AOGCC within three working days after the operator identi- fies a well as having sustained inner annulus pressure that exceeds 2000 psig, or sustained outer annulus pressure that exceeds 1000 psig. 4. The AOGCC may require the operator to submit in an Application for Sundry Approvals (Form 10-403) a proposal for corrective action or increased surveillance for any develop- ment well having sustained pressure that exceeds a limit set out in paragraph 3 of this rule. The AOGCC may approve the operator's proposal or may require other corrective action or surveillance. The AOGCC may require that corrective action be verified by mechanical in- tegrity testing or other AOGCC approved diagnostic tests, and that the AOGCC be given sufficient notice ofthe testing schedule to allow AOGCC to witness the tests. 5. If the operator identifies sustained pressure in the inner annulus of a development well that exceeds 45% of the burst pressure rating of the well's production casing for inner annulus pressure, or sustained pressure in the outer annulus that exceeds 45% of the burst pressure rating of the well's surface casing for outer annulus pressure, the operator shall notify the AOGCC within three working days and take corrective action. Unless well conditions re- quire the operator to take emergency corrective action before AOGCC approval can be ob- tained, the operator shall submit in an Application for Sundry Approvals (Fonn 10-403) a proposal for corrective action. The AOGCC may approve the operator's proposal or may require other corrective action. The AOGCC may also require that corrective action be verified by mechanical integrity testing or other AOGCC approved diagnostic tests, and that the AOGCC be given sufficient notice of the testing schedule to allow AOGCC to wit- ness the tests. 6. Except as otherwise approved by the AOGCC under paragraph 4 or 5 of these rules, before a shut-in well is placed in service, any annulus pressure must be relieved to a sufficient de- gree (a) that the inner annulus pressure at operating temperature will be below 2000 psig and (b) that the outer annulus pressure at operating temperature will be below 1000 psig. However, a well that is subject to paragraph 3, but not paragraph 5, of these rules may e e reach an annulus pressure at operating temperature that is described in the operator's notifi- cation to the AOGCC under paragraph 3, unless the AOGCC prescribes a different limit. 7. F or purposes of this rule, "inner annulus" means the space in a well between tubing and production casing; "outer annulus" means the space in a well between production casing and surface casing; "sustained pressure" means pressure that (a) is measurable at the casing head of an annulus, (b) is not caused solely by temperature fluctuations, and (c) is not pressure that has been applied intentionally.
