Area Injection Order No. 4
Eastern Operating Area
Prudhoe Bay Unit
July 11, 1986
IT APPEARING THAT:
1. ARCO Alaska, Inc. (ARCO) requested the Alaska Oil and
Gas Conservation Commission to issue an Area Injection
Order permitting the underground injection of fluids
within the Eastern Operating Area df the Prudhoe Bay
Unit for purposes of enhanced hydrocarbon recovery and
the disposal of non-hazardous oil field waste fluids.
2. Notice of an opportunity for a public hearing on
July 16, 1986 was published in the Anchorage Times on
June 9, 1986.
3. Neither a protest nor a request for a public hearing
was timely filed. Accordingly, the Commission will, in
its discretion, issue an order without a public hear-
ing. .
FINDINGS:
1. An order permitting the underground injection of
non-hazardous fluids on an area basis, rather than for
each injection well individually, provides for effi-
ciencies in the administration and surveillance of
underground fluid injection operations. 20 AAC 25.460
provides the Commission with the authority to issue an
order governing underground injection operations on an
area basis.
2. The Eastern Operating Area constitutes a compact "proj-
ect area" for the operation of a portion of the Prudhoe
Bay Unit and can readily be described by governmental
subdivisions. The Project Area is operated by a single
operator.
3. The Project Area encompasses approximately the eastern
one-half of the Prudhoe Oil Pool and~li of the
Lisburne Oil Pool. The Project Area includes all
existing injection wells and injection well sites
planned for enhanced recovery from this portion of the

'~I,
Prudhoe Oil Pool, and from all of the Lisburne Oil
Pool. The Project Area includes all existing
injection wells and injection well sites planned for
disposal by injection into Cretaceous and Tertiary
strata of oil field waste fluids developed from the
operation of this portion of the Prudhoe Bay Unit.
4. The vertical limits of injection strata and the con-
fining formations may be defined in the ARCO (Atlantic
Richfield-Humble) Prudhoe Bay State Well No. 1 and the
ARCO Sag River State Well No.1.
5. Within the Project Area, injection into, through, or
above a fresh water aquifer or underground source of
drinking water will not occur.
6. The strata into which fluids are to be injected will
accept fluids at injection pressures which are less
than the fracture pressure of the injection strata and
their confining formations.
7. Less stringent requirements for well construction,
operation, monitoring and reporting of injection
operations may be more appropriate than would be
required when injection occurs into, through or above
portions of aquifers not exempted.
8. Statewide regulations and conservation orders govern
field operations except as modified by this order.
9. To ensure that fluids injected are confined to in-
jection strata, the mechanical integrity of an in-
jection well should be demonstrated periodically and
monitored routinely for disclosure of possible abnor-
malities in operating conditions.
10. Injection wells existing on the date of this order were
constructed and completed in accordance with regu-
lations which conform to the requirement of 20 AAC
25.412.
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED THAT the rules hereinafter set
forth govern Class II underground injection operations in the
following described area referred to in this order as the affect-
ed area:

Rule 1 Authorized Injection Strata for Enhanced Recovery
Within the affected area, non-hazardous fluids may be injected
for purposes of pressure maintenance and enhanced oil recovery
into strata defined as those strata which correlate with the
strata found in ARGO (Atlantic Richfield-Humble) Prudhoe Bay
State No. 1 between the measured depths of 8110 feet and 8680
feet for the Prudhoe Oil Pool and between the measured depths of
8790 feet and 10,440 feet for the Lisburne Oil Pool.
Rule 2 Authorized Injection Strata for Disposal
Within the affected area, non-hazardous oil field fluids may be
injected for the purpose of fluid disposal into strata defined as
those strata which correlate with the strata found in ARGO Sag
River State Well No. 1 between the measured depths of 1900 feet
and 6750 feet.
Rule 3 Fluid Injection Wells
The underground injection of fluids must be: 1) through a new
well that has been permitted for drilling as a service well for
injection in conformance with 20 AAG 25.005; 2) through an
existing well that has been approved for conversion to a service

well for injection in conformance with 20 AAC 25.280; or 3)
through a well that existed as a service well for injection
purposes on the date of this order. Pumping of excess
non-hazardous fluids that are developed solely from well
operations, or necessary to control the fluid level of reserve
pits, into surface/production casing annuli is exempted from the
above requirements.
Rule 4 Monitoring The Tubing/Casing Annulus Pressures
The tubing/casing annulus pressure of each injection well must be
checked weekly as a routine duty to ensure there is no leakage
and that it does not exceed a pressure that will subject the
casing to a hoop stress greater than 70% of the casing's minimum
yield strength.
Rule 5 Reporting the Tubing/Casing Annulus Pressure Variations
Tubing/casing annulus pressure variations between consecutive
observations need not be reported to the Commission.
Rule 6 Demonstration of Tubing/Casing Annulus Mechanical
Integrity
A schedule must be developed and coordinated with the Commission
which ensures that the tubing/casing annulus for each injection
well is pressure tested prior to initiating injection and at
least once every four years thereafter. A test surface pressure
of 1500 psi or 0.25 psi/ft multiplied by the vertical depth of
the packer, which ever is greater, but not to exceed a hoop
stress greater than 70% of the casing's minimum yield strength,
must be held for 30 minutes with no more than a 10 percent
decline. The Commission must be notified at least 24 hours in
advance to enable a representative to witness pressure tests.
Rule 7 Well Integrity Failure
Whenever operating pressure observances or pressure tests indi-
cate pressure communication or leakage of any casing, tubing or
packer, the operator must immediately cease injection, notify the
Commission, and obtain approval for corrective action.
Rule 8 Plugging and Abandonment of Fluid Injection Wells
An injection well located within the affected area must not be
plugged or abandoned unless approved by the Commission in accor-
dance with 20 AAC 25.105.
Rule 9 Administrative Relief
Upon request, the Commission may administratively amend any rule
stated above as long as the operator demonstrates to the Com-
mission's satisfaction that sound engineering practices are

Re: Prudhoe Bay Unit, Eastern Operating Area, Underground
Injection Operations, Area Injection Order #4
Gentlemen:
As you know, changes in the operations of the Prudhoe Bay Field will
result from several field development projects now in progress.
Changes in the development plan for the Lisburne Participating Area
(LPA) have also occurred. Therefore, it is appropriate at this time to
update some of the information presented in the Eastern Operating
Area, Area Inj ection Order Application and in subsequent
correspondence. No reference to the pt McIntyre development is
included in this letter; information concerning anticipated injection
streams will be supplied in a separate document. The specific
references below refer to pertinent sections in the Application.
Ivishak Operations
The installation of additional gas handling equipment will result in
increased residue natural gas and miscible gas injection rates in the
Ivishak formation. Waterflood and EOR expansions, along with
increasing water production as these projects mature, will result in
increased produced water injection. Changes in field handling
practices for snow melt and other reserve pit water can result in
seasonal injection rate increases. The following paragraphs provide
updated information on specific injection streams.
Source Water injected into the Ivishak formation
(ref. Section J, Subsection lA, Pages 22-23, Section K, page
29)
Source water injection rates will decline over time as produced
water injection increases. Current EOA source water rates are
less than 550,000 BWPD with wellhead injection pressures
. normally less than 2100 psi. Wellhead injection pressures in
the future are expected to remain below 2700 psi. R E eEl V E D

RE€EIVED
Produced Water injected into the Ivishak formation
(ref. Section J, Subsection IB, page 23, Section K, page 29)
Current EOA produced water injection rates for waterflood and
enhanced recovery projects total about 600,000 barrels per
day, with wellhead inj ection pressures normally less than 2200
psi. Injection and water treatment equipment capacities will
limit total injection rates to approximately 1,000,000 BPD. It
is projected that total produced water injection into the
Ivishak could approach this rate for short periods of time.
Injection pressures are limited by facility constraints and are
expected to remain below 2700 psi.
Natural Gas injected into the Ivishak formation
(ref. Section J, Subsection lC, pages 23-24; Section K, page
29)
Current injection of EOA Ivishak residue natural gas is about
4.5 billion standard cubic feet per day with wellhead injection
pressures normally less than 3700 psi. Equipment installed as
part of the GHX-2 project will result in an increase in the
annual average field gas offtake from 5.2 BCFD to about 7.5
BCFD. This expansion will require additional gas injection
wells and could result in daily inj ection rates up to
approximately 7.75 BSCFD. Surface injection pressures at high
gas rates contain a significant friction component but are
expected to remain below 4250 psi.
Miscible Gas injection into the Ivishak formation
(ref. Section J, Subsection ID, page 24; updated 11/5/87)
Additional equipment which will be installed as part of the
GHX-2 project and expansion of the PBMGP enhanced oil
recovery project could result in EOA Ivishak miscible gas
injection rates of approximately 450 million standard cubic
feet per day. Current injection is about 250 MMSCFD with
wellhead inj ection pressures normally less than 3500 psi.
Wellhead injection pressures in the future are expected to
remain below 4500 psi.
Produced Water Disposal into the Tertiary/Cretaceous
formations
(ref. Section J, Subsection 2A, pages 24-25; updated 11/5/87;
Section K, page 29)
Current EOA produced water disposal is about 150,000 BPD
with wellhead injection presstires normally less than 2100 psi.
Several of the disposal wells are now tied directly to the

Ivishak produced water injection systems at the various
facilities, so wellhead injection pressures could approach the
maximum expected pressures for those systems. Produced
water disposal well capacities in the EOA total approximately
350,000 barrels of water per day. Within equipment
limitations and other operational constraints, disposal of
produced water into the Tertiary/Cretaceous interval will
continue to be minimized, however disposal rates could
approach this value.
Non Hazardous Waste Disposal into Tertiary/Cretaceous
formations
(Ref. Section J, Subsection 2B, page 25)
Snow seasonally accumulates in the EOA Drill Site reserve pits.
An intense effort is made each summer to gather and inject the
fluids in the pits (mainly snow melt water and at times drilling
related liquids) into the Tertiary/Cretaceous formations.
Occasionally, some of this material is treated and injected into
the Ivishak formation. Injection rates could reach as high as
approximately 50,000 barrels per day. This is in addition to
the routine injection of other non hazardous waste indicated in
the application.
Lisburne Operations
Currently the LPA is not injecting source or produced water into the
Wahoo formation. In the future, there is potential for a limited
waterflood project in the LPA. An evaluation of the reservoir
mechanisms associated with the responses observed during the DS-
L2 waterflood has been initiated. The results will determine the
potential for future secondary recovery in selected areas of the
Lisburne Reservoir. The following paragraphs provide updated
information on specific LPA injection streams.
RE(EIVED
Source Water injected into the Wahoo formation
(ref. Section J, Subsection lA, pages 22-23)
Currently the LPA is not injecting source water into the Wahoo
formation. The maximum future source water injection rate in
the Wahoo is estimated at approximately 100,000 BWPD. The
maximum surface pressure expected is about 3000 psi.
Produced Water injected into the Wahoo formation

rate in the Wahoo is now estimated at approximately 100,000
BWPD. The maximum surface pressure expected is about 3000
psi.
Natural Gas injected into the Lisburne formation
(ref. Section J, Subsection lC, pages 23-24; Section K, page
29)
Current injection of Lisburne residue natural gas is about 0.5
billion standard cubic feet per day with wellhead injection
pressures approximately 4700 psi.
Produced Water Disposal into the Tertiary/Cretaceous
formations
(ref. Section J, Subsection 2A, pages 24-25)
Currently all Lisburne produced water is injected into the
Tertiary / Cretaceous formations. This averages less than
15,000 BWPD with wellhead injection pressures normally less
than 1 700 psi.
The information contained in the above paragraphs provides a
description of current operations and, where appropriate, an update
to the data included in the referenced application. The anticipated
future rates and pressures listed above are intended to represent
maximum expected peak daily rates and pressures in some cases
limited by existing or planned facilities and wells; expected average
values will be somewhat less. We intend to provide additional
updates if conditions or plans change significantly in the future, or as
requested by the Commission. It is our belief that Area Injection
Order #4 provides for the above activities and no change in the order
is requested by ARCO at this time. As indicated above, information
concerning anticipated injection streams associated with pt
McIntyre development will be supplied in a separate document. If
you wish to discuss these matters further, please contact me or M. A.

ARCO Alaska, Inc.(AAI), as Operator of the Prudhoe Bay Unit EOA, Lisburne
Participating Area, the Kuparuk River Unit, and several Cook Inlet properties, has
received your letter requesting that we maintain the tubing/casing annulus pressure
on UIC Class II injection wells below 500 psig. Also, you have requested that we begin
reporting tubing and casing pressures on Form 10-406 for the Prudhoe Bay EOA per
the requirements of AOGCC regulations AAC 25.430 and 432.
As discussed with you in a meeting on February 15, 1991, AAI has not been reporting
PBU EOA tubing and casing pressures on Form 10-406 based on a variance to AAC
25.430 granted on March 28, 1986 by the Commission. Per your request, the PBU
data reporting system will be modified, beginning with the March report, to include
the tubing and casing pressures in our monthly data transmission tapes submitted to
you as a substitute to Form 10-406. The other fields will continue to report these
pressures as has been done in the past. '
As also discussed with you during our meeting of February 15, we feel that your
request to maintain less than 500 psig on the tubing/casing annulus is a significant
deviation from current operating practices and would create an increased operating and
administrative burden with minimal positive contribution towards the goals of the UIC
program. Instead of placing a 500 psig pressure IimHation on the tubing/casing
annulus, we offer the following alternate proposal for your consideration:
A quarterly report will be submitted summarizing mechanical integrity
tests (MIT's) performed during that quarter on UIC Class II injection wells.
Additionally, the report will include brief comments on all injection wells
which have an average tubing/casing annulus pressure within a 500 psig
differential to the average tubing pressure during the middle month of the
quarter. Wells with an annulus pressure less than 500 psig will not be
commented on. These comments will describe the nature of the well annulus
pressure performance, such as:

We appreciated the opportunity to meet with you to discuss AAI injection well
operations. Please review and provide comments on the above proposal at your
earliest convenience. We appreciate your efforts in working with us and we are
confident that we can arrive at a mutually acceptable monitoring program. If there are
any questions, comments or clarifications that you wish to discuss, please do not
hesitate to contact Eric Skaalure at 263-4234 or Mark Drumm at 263-4212.

The AOGCC has been contacted regarding the yearly State Witnessed MIT's on 25% of the
Prudhoel Lisburne injection wells. Per a phone conversation this morning with
Lonnie Smith (AOGCC), an AOGCC representative (Doug Amos) will be available from
August 24 - 26, 1990 to witness some of the MITIs. It is my understanding that the State
may choose to witness selected MITIs as opposed to having a representative on site for
all the MITS. The wells to actually be State Witnessed will be selected by the Slope AOGCC
testing representative from the list noted below. The State rep will be contacted again
on August 23 to verify his availability (659-3607). As noted on the 7/15/90 letter to the
State outlining the tentative testing schedule, the following injectors will be tested
during August:

As in the past, the Pad #3 Disposal Wells will be MITld in the May 1991 timeframe.
Over the course of the next month, pre-test 9-5/8" MITIs will be carried out on all of the
wells scheduled for the August 24 - 26 testing. We will be coordinating this pre-testing
with Wes. and Mike and the appropriate Drill Site. Supervisors.
If you have any questions or comments regarding the MIT testing schedule, please
contact either Dave Smith or I at 659-5102 or Beeper 191-154.

Re: Injection Well S tate Mechanical Integri ty Testing - 1991 Test Year
Dear Mr. Smith:
Please find listed below the injection wells ARCO proposes to test per Area
Injection Order No.4. during the 1991 test year (July 1, 1990 through June
30, 1991). The 35 wells listed account for >25% of the current 118
PrudhoelLisburne injection wells. As we discussed, the wells were selected
such that all the injectors on a pad will be tested in the same year, with the
exception of wells already tested following a recent workover. To take
advantage of the summer weather, we would like to begin testing as soon as
possible after August 21, 1990. As you are probably aware, the Pad 3 Oily
Waste Disposal Wells were recently tested during May 1990 for the 1990 test
year. Our current plans call for 1991 testing of these OWDW wells during
May 1991.

INJECTION WELL ANNULAR COMMUNICATION
VERBAL NOTIFICA TION OF AOGCC
PER AREA INJECTION ORDER #4
DATE: 10/17/88
TIME: 10:00 am
NOTIFIED BY: Ellen Fitzpatrick
AOGCC CONTACT: Mike Minder
REASON: Injection Well i:.1.3. Annular Communication
Per Rule 7 Requirements of Area Injection Order N.o. 4
)
DISCUSSION:
OS 4-13 failed a State-witnessed MIT on 10/14/88. The 9-5/8" test pressure of 2160 psi
declined to 1600 psi in 30 minutes. A repeat test had the 9-5/8" pressure decline from 2190
psi to 1940 psi in 30 minutes. During this repeat test, the 13-3/8" pressure increased from
520 psi to 1160 psi indicating 9-5/8" X 13-3/8" communication. The MIT was repeated on
10/16/88 (no State witness was present) with 2000 psi on the 13-3/8" and 2160 psi on the
9-5/8" . Both casings passed the pressure test verifying that the 9-5/8" leak is above the 13-
3/8" shoe and there is no leak from the casing to the formation. The tubing is intact with no
bleeding required to maintain the 9-5/8" pressure below 1000 psi while tubing injection
pressure is at 1750 psi.
OS 4-13 will be a water injector only (no gas injection). Permission was requested to
continue injection indefinitely unless annulus pressures indicate a tubing leak develops. If such
evidence of a tubing leak occurs, a remedial workover plan will be developed. .
AOGCC RESPONSE:
- Approval granted verbally to leave on injection for 1 week with a formal request to extend
injection past one week.
- State witness of 9-5/8" X 13-3/8" MIT is not required.

RE: Termination of EPA Emergency Permits at the Prudhoe Bay Unit (Prudhoe
Bay Field - Eastern Operating Area)
Dear Mr. Hart:
The Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission issued the ARCO Alaska,
Incorporated an Area Injection Order No. 4 for the Prudh~e Bay Unit (Prudhoe
Bay Field - Eastern Operating Area) on July 11, 1986. Therefore, the
following EPA Emergency Permits for injection wells are terminated in
accordance with 40 CFR 144.40:
AK-2R0046-E through AK-2R0072-E
AK-2D0105-Eand AK-2D0106-E
AK-2D0254-E
AK-2R0255-E through AK-2R0258-E
AK-2R0271-E through AK-2R0278-E.
Also, EPA rule authorization under either 40 CFR 144.21 or 40 CFR 144.22 for
other existing Class II injection wells is terminated.
Sincerely,
(l&f~

SECTION .A .
Area Injection Order
20 AAC 25.460
ARCO Alaska,. Inc., as operator of the Prudhoe Bay Unit, Eastern Opera~ing Area
(EOAl, requests an areajnjection order beissued for current and prpposed injection
wells: 1) for disposal of fluids that are brought to the surface in connection with
conventional oil and gas: operations and comingled with non-hazardous waste fluids
from ~acilities which are an integral part of produstion and operation, and 2) for the
enhanced recovery of oil· or gas. The area injection order is requested to encompass
all lands within the boundary of the EOA, except for K-Pad, as detailed in Figure A-I.
ARÇO requests that the ord~r allow A;RCO to drill, operate, conxert or plug and
abaoQon wells within this area by filing Form 10-401 or Form 10-403.
The Oil and Gas Conservation Commission may, in its discretion, issue an area
'Ïnjectiöo order if certain requirements are met. The EOA injectioo.operations meet
the requirements of 20 AAC 25.460(a). Existing wells are described and identified by
type. InJection wells are within the same field, are operated byasingle operator and
.are used for other than hazardous waste injection.
The cumulative effect 9f drilling and operating additional enhanced recovery injection
wells wiU result in an increase in hydr.ocarbon recovery. The cumulative effect of
additional fluid disposal wells is anticipated to be economic disposal of non-hazardous
oilfield waste streams. Disposal of produced water and associated Waste is necessary
to allow prqdlJction of oil. Both types of injection wells will be dl:"illed, constructed,
operated, and abandoned in accordance with the Commission rules to prevent
movement of fluids into freshwater strata..
Figure A-2 is a list of injection wens in theEOA with EPA permits. Figure A-3 is a
list of injection wells iothe EOA authorized by rule under EPA's injection well
regulations for Alaska.

Subsection 1 - enhanced recovery, and
Subsection 2 ~ disposal of flui<:Is brought to the s,urface and comiogled with non-
ha4ardous waste fluids from operations.
Subsection 1
Enhanced Rècovery
Enhanced recovery injection wells are used for the introduction of additional fluids
into the oil reservoir to increase the Ultimate recovery of oil., Three types of
~nhanced recovery injection wells are currently ,used: water injection, gas injection,
and water-alternating-gas injection. Adç:litional methods of enhanced oil recovery may
be used in the future. Future injection wells will continue to be designed, construc,ted,
operated (and monitored) to ensure the injection fluid is entering the' öil reservoir.,
The Ivishak and Lisburne formations arêlwillbe used for enhanced oil recovery.,
Subsection 2
Fluid Disposal
Produced wa~er disposal wells are used for,the disposal of produced water and oth~r
fluidsgènerated during operations. The produced water is water which is produced
with the oil and separated from the oUand gas at the Flow Stations and Lisburne

A. Stratigraphy and Lithology
The Ivishak Group, Late Permian to Early Triassic in age, is divided into
three distinctive geologic formations: the basalE.chooka Formation, The
Kavik. Shale, and the overlying Ivishak Fprmation. Stra.tigraphically,above
thelvj~t1åk Formation, in ascending order, are the Shublik, Formation and
the Sag.River Formation. .Within the field lirrÜts of the EOA, th~ Ivishak
Formation varies' in thickness from zero fèêt (by truncatiön)to about 700
feet, and the structural top of. the Ivishak varies in depth from about. 7900'
feetsubsea''to slightly'over 9000 feet subsea.(Figure G-3).
~CAIMNEU' (,~UN :J; [~ 2001J
{
~
I(
The Ivishak reservoir is dominantly a sandstone interval that has been
divided into four zones (I-IV). Zones IV and III are the primary injection
intervals with Zones II and I receiving relatively minor amounts of injection
fluids.
Zone I, the lowermost zone within the Ivishak reservoir averages 125 feet
in thickness. Zone 1 is comprised of thin to moderately" thick interbeds of
mudstone, sil~stone, silty sandstone and sandsto'ne. The relatively ,clean
sandsto,n~s commonly have porosities from 20-25% and permeabilities from
250-350 md~
Zone II is a lithologically variable unit up to 280 feet thick that consists of
~nterbeddedsandstone and conglomeratic sandstone with'lesser amounts of
conglomerate, siltstone, mud$tone. Zone II sandstones usuallyhaveaboÜt
25% porosity and 500-1000 mdpermeability.
Zone III consists predominantly of poorly sorted conglomerate ánd
conglomeratic sandstone, with occasional thinly bedded siltstone and
mudstone. This zone ranges from 0-100 feet in thickness across the EOA.
Zone:U por~sitiesare typically 16..d8%ahd permeabilities range from 800";'
1200 md.
Zone IV, the uppermost divis,ion of the Ivishak reservoir at Prudhoe Bay, is
comprised of interbedded fine to medium grained sandstones with lesser
amounts of sandy conglomerate, silty sandstone and mudstone. Thickness
varies from 0-225 ,feet in the EOA. Average porosity is about 24% and',
aVèrage petmeabilityÎs about 250 md.
The Sag River Forni'fLtionisa minor reservoir stra'Ùgraphk:-ally' above the
, ' ,
Ivishak reservoir in the EOA. The Sag River ranges in thicknes$ftomO
feet (by trunc:ation) tö 50 :feet and is~.é;paratedfrolTl the mé!,in Ivishak
re$erVoitby' 35-75 feet of limestones, siltstones (lod shales of the Shublik
Formation. The Sag River ,sandstone i~'very finé to fine grained and
contains glauconite andan~erite cemeh't'~ Porosity values usually range
from 7-20% (averag~ 1.5%Lq.nd permeabilities range from 3-30 md (average
20md).

B. For ma tion Water Salinities
Laboratory analyses of formation wâter salinities prodùced from the
Ivishak sandstones indicate: an average salinity of 18,500 ppm NaCI
equivalent and a total dissolved solids (TDS) content slightly in excess of
20,0'00 ppm (Jones and, Speers, 1976).
, , .
There are no salinity data available for the Sag River. In the EOA; all of
the Sag River wells contain hydrocrbons. 5iríèe only one EOA well (PS 17.::.
14) hs been tested for Sag Rivèr potential, no t0r:'nate water samples are
available. Accurate salinity calculations cadnot be done with hyd,rocarbGns
present in the formation. However~ the Sag River is believed to be in
communication with the Îvishak rèservoir along faults and at the
, , ,
truncation. Therefore, it would be re~sonable to ~re~ict th~7 the Sag River
has similar formation water salinity values (20,000 ppm TDS).
c. Structure
The Prudhoe Bay Field is Pé1.rt of a northwest-southeast trending ánticlinal
structure. Closure in the EOA is provided by gentle structurat' dip to the
sou~h ~nd west, truncation .by the Lower Cretaceous Unconformity to the
east, and nor mal faults in the north.
II. GonfiningIntervals
The Ivishak Formation in theEOA of Prudhoe Bay is confined aboveålid belO'w by
impermeable sequences of Kavik Shale, Kingak Shale and Cretaceous shales,.
The confining zone àt th~ base of the Ivishak~andstone reservoir is the,Kavik
Shale. This shale aV'ell'agesabout 150 feet in thickness in the EOA and v~ries
from less than 1 QO feet to over 200 feet, thickening to~ the south.
Overlying :the Ivis,hak For'matioo are two thin stratigraphic intervals which are
minor" reservoirs, ,at Prudhoe Bay. In ascending order these are the' Shuqlik
F'ormation (@ 70' thick) and the 'Sag River Formation (@ 35' thick)~ Overlying

these units is the confining Kingak Shale. In the fOA, the Kingak shale attains a
maximum thickness of about 800 feet. This shale thins markedly to zero feet
eastward across the EOA as a result of truncation by the Lower Cretaceous
Unconformity.
Overlying the Lower Cretaceous Unconformity and sealihg the truncated Ivishak,
Shublik, and Sag River reservoirs at Prudhoe Bay are the Cretaceous shales.
These shales, range in thickness fro m 1600 to 2000 feet and blanket the Prudhoe
EOA.

Injection Fluid
20 AAC 25.402(c)(9)
20 AAC 25.252(c)(7)
The injection fluid for the two types of injection at the EOA are: 1) water and gas for
enhanced recovery, and 2) fluids brought to the surface and comingled with non-
hazardous" waste streams for disposal wells.
Subsection 1
Enhanced Recovery
A. Type of Fluid - Source Water. This fluid is treated seawater injected into the oil
production zone for pressure maintenance. Small amounts of chemical used for
water treatment at this time, or planned for future use, are coagulants, anti-
foam products, scale inhibitors, biocides, and oxygen scavengers. Current,
typical treatment volumes of these products are:
coagulant: 0 to 1 ppm
anti-foam: 0 to .35 gal. per 1000 barrels
scale inhibitors: 0 to 4 ppm
biocide: four shock treatments per month, 500 ppm over. duration of 6.5 hours·
Oxygen scavenger: 0 to 2.5 Ibs. per 1000 barrels
These treatment amounts are subject to revision, based on operational needs and
requirements.

Ivishak - less than approximately 800,000 BWPD, decreasing as produced
water injection increases.
Lisburne - approximately 500,000 BWPD, decreasing as produced water
injection increases (maximum of 20,000 BWPD during pilot water flood
testing).
Compatibility with Formation and Confining Zones - no significant problems with
formation plugging or clay swelling due to fluid incompatibilities are anticipated.
B. Type of Fluid - Produced Water. This fluid is water that was produced with the
oil and separated from the oil and gas at the Flow Stations and Lisburne
Production Center. The produced water may contain trace amounts of scale
inhibitors, corrosion inhibitors, emulsion breakers, and other products used in the
production process.
Analysis of Composition of Typical Fluid - See Attachment J-l - Ivishak and see

SECTION L
Fracture Information
20 AAC 25.402(c)(ll)
20 AAC 25.252(c)(9)
The proposed maximum injection pressures for the enhanced recovery and fluid
disposal wells will not initiate fractures in the confining strata which might enable the
injection or formation fluid to enter freshwater strata.
Subsection 1
Enhanced Recovery
Injection in the Ivishak Formation, above formation parting pressure, may be necessary
in the future to allow for additional recovery of oil. In no instance would such
injection pressures breach the integrity of the confining zone. The Ivishak Formation
is overlain by approximately 2000 feet of confining shales which act as an
impermeable confining zone.
Figure L-l shows an estimated fracture gradient curve used in the well plans for wells
drilled in EOA. This curve has been verified through drilling experience and numerous
leakoff tests. It should be noted that the curve is applicable only to clean sandstones
and is the pressure required to initiate fractures. Pressures required to propagate
fractures will exceed this pressure.
Thick shale sequences tend to behave as a plastic medium and can be expected to
contain significantly higher pressures than sandstones. A leakoff test in the Kingak
shale above the Ivishak and Sag River formations demonstrated leakoff at a gradient
of .85 psi/ft.

('
Recent studies (Perkins and Gonzales) indicate fracture gradients may be reduced in
typical waterflooding situations due to reduced thermal stresses associated with the
injection of colder water. Declining reservoir pressure can also reduce formation
stresses, thereby reducing the fracture gradient. Given the present reservoir pressure
and injected water temperatures, the fracture gradient ranges approximately between
0.52-0.63 psi/ft. in a typical water flood situation in the Ivishak Formation. This has
been verified by numerous step rate tests, multi-rate analyses, and pressure falloff
analyses on water injection wells in the Ivishak waterfloods.
Injection profile logs, with emphasis on temperature logs, indicate that there is no
vertical propagation of fractures within the Ivishak sandstone, much less propagation
into the confining strata, at pressures exceeding the measured fracture gradient.
Reference: Perkins, T. K. and Gonzales, J. A., "Changes in Earth Stresses Around a
Wellbore caused by Radically Summetrical Pressure and Temperature Gradients," SPE
10080, 1981.
Subsection 2
Fluid Disposal
The injection zones for fluid disposal and all zones above and below the injection zones
contain greater than 10,000 mg/l TDS and are not freshwater strata. Therefore
injection at above parting pressure would not result in formation or injection fluid
movement into freshwater strata. Recent studies of the fluid disposal wells at Pad 3
substantiate the lack of pressure buildup in the zone and lack of fluid movement
.,
outside the injection zone.
The confining shales below the injection zone are in excess of 2000 feet vertical
thickness. The upper confining zones consist of numerous interbedded confining shales
and mudstones averaging 10 to 50 feet thick and over 1800 feet of permafrost.

Estimates of formation water salinity values have been made across the EOA and no
USDW (less than 10,000 mg/l TDS) were found. By utilizing well log data, an
approximation of the formation water salinity can be made using resistivity and
porosity well logs. Standard industry log evaluation equations, including the Archie
equation for unconsolidated sandstones, were used to determine the salinity values
(Figure N-l). Calculated salinities correlate well with the results from laboratory
water analysis from the Upper Ugnu water supply well 113 in the Kuparuk River Unit.
The good relationship between the laboratory measured salinities and the log based
equations permit salinity calculations at many more data points than are available
from actual laboratory measured salinity. Although the log calculated and laboratory
salinity values do not match exactly, the log calculated salinity values are generally
representative of the actual formation water salinity.
Formation water salinity values were calculated using "clean" sandstones for six
stratigraphic intervals from six wells across the EOA (Figure N-2). No salinity values
less than 10,000 ppm were computed for any of the intervals. In wells 7-10-14, 14-5
and 6-4, the T -3 interval is believed to contain minor amounts of hydrocarbons which
raise the measured formation resistivity and lower the calculated salinity. Thus, the
presence of hydrocarbons invalidates the formation water salinity calculations in these
intervals. The salinity values for each horizon were averaged and placed on the Sag
River State type log for reference (Figure H-l).
Based on the Alaska Test Lab core analysis of the B. P. Permafrost Test well 12-10-14,
no USDW is present at the base of the permafrost (1858'). Laboratory analysis of
formation water in the porous and permeable sandstones and gravels at the base of the
permafrost indicate that intervals capable of flowing formation water contain salinity
values in excess of 10,000 mg/l TDS. The TDS concentration is greater than
10,000 mg/l at 1823' (Appendix G, Sheet 61 of 67; Alaska Test Labs Report). The

Hydrocarbon Recovery
20 AAC 25.402(c)(l4)
As stated in the "Application for Additional Recovery," December, 1980, fieldwide oil
recovery from the Ivishak Reservoir is expected to be increased by 6 to 9% of original
oil-in-place as a result of the water flood project. Recovery in the Flow Station Three
Injection Project Area is expected to be increased by 5.5% of original oil-in-place
above that attainable with waterflooding as a result of miscible injection (reference:
application dated August, 1982). Recovery in the Prudhoe Bay Miscible Gas Project
area is expected to be increased by 5.2% of original oil-in-place above that attainable
with waterflooding as a result of miscible injection (reference: application dated
December, 1983).
Total expected hydrocarbon recovery from the Lisburne formation is 200-600 MMBO,
or 7-20% of currently estimated oil originally in place. Water flood is expected
to contribute up to 400 MMBO of the total.

Re: Prudhoe Bay Unit, Eastern Operating Area
Dear Mr. Chatterton:
ARCO Alaska, Inc. has reviewed the recently adopted regulations
governing the control of underground injection related to the recovery
and production of oil and natural gas. Two variances to these regu-
lations are request~d with regard to operations in the Eastern Operat-
ing Area of the Prudhoe Bay Field. Paragraph 20 AAC 25.450(a) allows
the Commission to authorize less stringent requirements if: (1)
injection does not occur into, through, or above a freshwater source,
and (2) the reduction in requirements will not result in an increased
risk of movement of fluids into a freshwater source. No underground
sources of drinking water are currently prespnt in the Eastern Operat-
ing Area, and thus less stringent requirernpnts may be authorized at
the discretion of the Commission.
Varianee Number 1:
Relief is requested from the reporting requirements of Paragraph
20 AAC 25.432 wherein monthly reporting of casing and tubing pressures
may be required for injection wells. This information is not included
in our automated data reporting system because it has not previously
been required by the Commission. Reporting of casing pressure for
injection wells has not been required by the EPA, and time consuming
manual reports that include tubing pressures havp. b~en prepared for
the EPA for only a portion of the injection wells. Submittal of these
pressures on a monthly basis would require either extensive reworking
of our automated reporting system or extensive manual compilation.
The expense associated with monthly submittal of this additional
information does not appear warranted. In thp. event periodic pressure
monitoring in the field shows non-compliance with any regulation, the
Commission will be notified and corrective action taken.
Variance Number 2:
Paragraphs 20 AAC 25.252(e) and 20 AAC 25.402(e) require immediate
notification of the Commission, and Commission-approved corrective
action taken if the casing-tubing annulus pressure subjects the casing
to a hoop stress that exce~ds 70 percent of the minimum yield strength

of the casing, or if there is more than a 200 psi change in the
pressure between consecutive pressure readings. ARCa Alaska, Inc.
requests relief from the 200 psi change requirement, and requests that
the 70 percent limit alone be used as the sole criteria for immediate
notification of the Commission.
Changes in casing pressure of 200 psi or more occur frequently in
response to changes in injection pressure and temperature. This being
the case, using a prp.ssure change of 200 psi or more between consecu-
tive readings is not a viable means of identifying tubing leaks at
Prudhoe Bay. In any case, periodic monitoring of casing pressures and
pressure trends will continue in order to assess the condition of each
injection well's tubing string ~nd packer.
The Oil and Gas Conservation Commission's consideration of these
requested variances is respectfully requested.
Very truly yours,

SECTION A
Area Injection Order
20 AAC 25.460
ARCO Alaska, Inc., as operator of the Prudhoe Bay Unit, Eastern Operating Area
(EOA), requests an area injection order be issued for current and proposed injection
wells: 1) for disposal of fluids that are brought to the surface in connection with
conventional oil and gas operations and comingled with non-hazardous waste fluids
from facilities which are an integral part of production and operation, and 2) for the
enhanced recovery of oil or gas. The area injection order is requested to encompass
all lands within the boundary of the EOA, except for K-Pad, as detailed in Figure A-I.
ARCO requests that the order allow ARCO to drill, operate, convert or plug and
abandon wells within this area by filing Form 10-401 or Form 10-403.
The Oil and Gas Conservation Commission may, in its discretion, issue an ar~a
injection order if certain requirements are met. The EOA injection operations meet
the requirements of 20 AAC 25.460(a). Existing wells are described and identified by
type. Injection wells are within the same field, are operated by a single operator and
are used for other than hazardous waste injection.
The cumulative e~fect of drilling and operating additional enhanced recovery injection
wells will result in an increase in hydrocarbon recovery. The cumulative effect of
additional fluid disposal wells is anticipated to be economic disposal of non-hazardous
oilfield waste streams. Disposal of produced water and associated waste is necessary
to allow production of oil. Both types of injection wells will be drilled, constructed,
operated, and abandoned in accordance with the Commission rules to prevent
movement of fluids into freshwater strata.
Figure A-2 is a list of injection wells in the EOA with EPA permits. Figure A-3 is a
list of injection wells in the EOA authorized by rule under EP A's injection well
regulations for Alaska.

RE: Prudhoe Bay Unit EOA, Area Injection Order Application
Dear Mr. Chatterton:
Enclosed is the Prudhoe Bay Unit EOA area injection order application.
ARCO Alaska, Inc. as operator of the EOA, requests an area injection order
be issued for current and future injection wells, as described in the
application. The application was prepared in accordance with the recently
revised Commission injection regulations.
ARCO requests injection approval for two types of injection wells - fluid
disposal and enhanced recovery. Three injection zones are included in the
application - the Sagavanirktok/Colville, the Ivishak and the Lisburne
Formations.
The process associated with the transfer of authority from the EPA to the
Commission effects both existing and new injection wells. Existing wells are
authorized by permit and rule by EPA and those authorizations remain in
place until a replacement permit is issued by the Commission. New injection
wells (newly drilled or converted) require prior authorization under AOGCC
rules. A mechanism for permitting new injection wells after termination of
the EP A program (June 19, 1986) and prior to issuance of our area injection
order under the new AOGCC rules is not clearly defined. ARCO proposes
that in the event a new injection well is necessary during the interim period,
the injection well be temporarily authorized by the Commission upon
submittal of an acceptable sundry notice or drilling permit, pending issuance
of the area injection order.
ARCO requests the area injection order be issued as soon as possible to allow
normal field operations to continue.
Please contact Mark Major (263-6136) or Julie Athans (265-1345) if you have
any questions or require additional information. Your timely action is
apprecia ted.

SECTION A
Area Injection Order
20 AAC 25.460
ARCO Alaska, Inc., as operator of the Prudhoe Bay Unit, Eastern Operating Area
(EOA), requests an area injection order be issued for current and proposed injection
wells: 1) for disposal of fluids that are brought to the surface in connection with
conventional oil and gas operations and comingled with non-hazardous waste fluids
from facilities which are an integral part of production and operation, and 2) for the
enhanced recovery of oil or gas. The area injection order is requested to encompass
aU lands within the boundary of the EOA, as shown on Plat B-1. ARCa requests that
the order allow ARCO to drill, operate, convert or plug and abandon wells within the
EOA by filing Form 10-401 or Form 10-403.
I
I
I
I
I
The Oil and Gas Conservation Commission may, in its discretion, issue an area
injection order if certain requirements are met. The EOA injection operations meet
the requirements of 20 AAC 25.460(a). Existing wells are described and identified by
type. Injection wells are within the same field, are operated by a single operator and
are used for other than hazardous waste injection.
The cumulative effect of drilling and operating additional enhanced recovery injection
wells will result in an increase in hydrocarbon recovery. The cumulative effect of
additional fluid disposal wells is anticipated to be economic disposal of non-hazardous
oilfield waste streams. Disposal of produced water and associated waste is necessary
to allow production of oil. Both types of injection wells will be drilled, constructed,
operated, and abandoned in accordance with the Commission rules to prevent
movement of fluids into freshwater strata.

SECTION E
Description of Operation
I
I
20 AAC 25.402(c)(4)
Current and proposed injection operations at the EOA are divided into two broad
categories:
I
I
I
Subsection 1 - enhanced recovery, and
Subsection 2 - disposal of fluids brought to the surface and comingled with non-
hazardous waste fluids from operations.
Subsection 1
Enhanced Recovery
(
t
I
I
I
I
I
Enhanced recovery injection wells are used for the introduction of additional fluids
into the oil reservoir to increase the ultimate recovery of oil. Three types of
enhanced recovery injection wells are currently used: water injection, gas injection,
and water-alternating-gas injection. Additional methods of enhanced oil recovery may
be used in the future. Future injection wells will continue to be designed, constructed,
operated (and monitored) to ensure the injection fluid is entering the oil reservoir.
The Ivishak and Lisburne formations are/will be used for enhanced oil recovery.
Subsection 2
Fluid Disposal
Produced water disposal wells are used for the disposal of produced water and other
fluids generated during operations. The produced water is water which is produced
with the oil and separated from the oil and gas at the Flow Stations and Lisburne

Production Center. The remaining injection fluids are non-hazardous fluids generated
by drilling and production operations. Flow Stations 1, 2, and 3 and the Lisburne
Production Center have produced water disposal wells. Fluid disposal wells are
currently in operation at Pad 3 just South of Drill Site 6. Non-unit, non-hazardous
wastes associated with North Slope oil production activities are also injected at these
wells. Additional fluid disposal wells are anticipated. Future fluid disposal wells will
be designed, constructed operated (and monitored) to ensure the injection fluid is
entering the injection zone. Injection is into the Sagavanirktok Formation/Colville
Group.

marker as shown on the Generalized Stratigraphic section (Figure G-l). The EOA is
injecting waste water (such as produced waters from the EOA), into sandstone beds in
the Colville Group and Sagavanirktok Formation at Flow Stations 1, 2 and 3 and
certain drill sites. Significant amounts of low-gravity oil occur in two zones which
ARCO refers to as the West Sak sands and the Ugnu sands in the Kuparuk River Unit (
KRU) to the west. A type log for the West Sak and Ugnu Sands from the Kuparuk
River Unit is shown in Figure G-2. These zones are not oil-bearing in the EOA, but
rock data from the West Sak and Ugnu in the KRU provide the best data for
characterizing the Colville/Sagavanirktok formation in the EOA.

The upper Colville Group in the EOA area includes the West Sak Sand interval. The
West Sak consists of fine-to very fine-grained silty sand with interbedded silt and clay,
and has an average thickness of 225 feet in the EOA. Individual sand beds range from
2 to 40 feet in thickness. Core data in the KRU show that porosity ranges from 25 to
35 percent and permeability ranges from 10 to 800 millidarcies. The remainder of the
underlying Colville Group consists of an impermeable mudstone and shale sequence
over 1600-2000 feet thick in the EOA. The top of the West Sak Sand occurs between
about 6000 and 7800 feet subsea in the EOA, and dips gently to the east/northeast.
The Sagavanirktok Formation includes the Ugnu Sands and related overlying strata.
Ugnu Sands consist of fine-to-coarse-grained sand interbedded with siltstone, shale and
minor amounts of coal. Total thickness averages 500 feet in the EOA. Individual
sands range from 10 to 100 feet in thickness and average 30 feet thick. Core data in
the KRU indicate sand porosities between 25 and 40 percent and permeabilities from
200 to 3000 millidarcies. The top of the Ugnu Sands occur between 5500 and 7000 feet
subsea in the EOA and also 'dip gently to the east/northeast. The Sagavanirktok strata
between the top of the Ugnu and the base of permafrost are 3700 to 5400 feet thick
and are similar to the Ugnu based on available data.
The Sagavanirktok Formation contains laterally continuous mudstones and shales 10 to
50 feet thick which act as vertical permeability barriers. In addition, all stratigraphic
intervals intersect the base of permafrost between 1800 and 2000 feet subsea to the
west. This isolates these formations from communication with surface waters.

Ivishak Formation
1. Injection Interval
A. Stratigraphy and Lithology
The Ivishak Group, Late Permian to Early Triassic in age, is divided into
three distinctive geologic formations: the basal Echooka Formation, The

Kavik Shale, and the overlying Ivishak Formation. Stratigraphically above
the Ivishak Formation, in ascending order, are the Shublik Formation and
the Sag River Formation. Within the field limits of the EOA, the Ivishak
Formation varies in thickness from zero feet (by truncation) to about 700
feet, and the structural top of the Ivishak varies in depth from about 7900
feet subsea to slightly over 9000 feet subsea (Figure G-3).
The Ivishak reservoir is dominantly a sandstone interval that has been
divided into four zones (I-IV). Zones IV and III are the primary injection
intervals with Zones II and I receiving relatively minor amounts of injection
fluids.
Zone I, the lowermost zone within the Ivishak reservoir averages 125 feet
in thickness. Zone 1 is comprised of thin to moderately thick interbeds of
mudstone, siltstone, silty sandstone and sandstone. The relatively clean
sandstones commonly have porosities from 20-25% and permeabilities from
250-350 md.
Zone II is a lithologically variable unit up to 280 feet thick that consists of
interbedded sandstone and conglomeratic sandstone with lesser amounts of
conglomerate, siltstone, mudstone. Zone II sandstones usually have about
25% porosity and 500-1000 md permeability.
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
Zone III consists predominantly of poorly sorted conglomerate and
conglomeratic sandstone, with occasional thinly bedded siltstone and
mudstone. This zone ranges from 0-100 feet in thickness across the EOA.
Zone II porosities are typically 16-18% and permeabilities range from 800-
1200 md.
Zone IV, the uppermost division of the Ivishak reservoir at Prudhoe Bay, is
comprised of interbedded fine to medium grained sandstones with lesser
amounts of sandy conglomerate, silty sandstone and mudstone. Thickness
varies from 0-225 feet in the EOA. Average porosity is about 24% and
average permeability is about 250 md.

The Sag River Formation is a minor reservoir stratigraphically above the
Ivishak reservoir in the EOA. The Sag River ranges in thickness from 0
feet (by truncation) to 50 feet and is separated from the main Ivishak
reservoir by 35-75 feet of limestones, siltstones and shales of the Shublik
Formation. The Sag River sandstone is very fine to fine grained and
contains glauconite and ankerite cement. Porosity values usually range
from 7-20% (average 15%) and permeabilities range from 3-30 md (average
20 md).
B.
For ma tion Water Salinities
Laboratory analyses of formation water salinities produced from the
Ivishak sandstones indicate an average salinity of 18,500 ppm NaCI
equivalent and a total dissolved solids (TDS) content slightly in excess of
20,000 ppm (Jones and Speers, 1976).
There are no salinity data available for the Sag River. In the EOA, all of
the Sag River wells contain hydrocrbons. Since only one EOA well (OS 17-
14) hs been tested for Sag River potential, no connate water samples are
available. Accurate salinity calculations cannot be done with hydrocarbons
present in the formation. However, the Sag River is believed to be in
communication with the Ivishak reservoir along faults and at the
truncation. Therefore, it would be reasonable to predict that the Sag River
has similar formation water salinity values (20,000 ppm TDS).
C. Structure
The Prudhoe Bay Field is part of a northwest-southeast trending anticlinal
structure. Closure in the EOA is provided by gentle structural dip to the
south and west, truncation by the Lower Cretaceous Unconformity to the
east, and normal faults in the north.
II.
Confining Intervals
The Ivishak Formation in the EOA of Prudhoe Bay is confined above and below by
impermeable sequences of Kavik Shale, Kingak Shale and Cretaceous shales.

The confining zone at the base of the Ivishak sandstone reservoir is the Kavik
Shale. This shale averages about 150 feet in thickness in the EOA and varies
from less than 100 feet to over 200 feet, thickening to the south.
Overlying the Ivishak Formation are two thin stratigraphic intervals which are
minor reservoirs at Prudhoe Bay. In ascending order these are the Shublik
Formation (@ 70' thick) and the Sag River Formation (@ 35' thick). Overlying
these units is the confining Kingak Shale. In the EOA, the Kingak shale attains a
maximum thickness of about 800 feet. This shale thins markedly to zero feet
eastward across the EOA as a result of truncation by the Lower Cretaceous
Unconformity.
Overlying the Lower Cretaceous Unconformity and sealing the truncated Ivishak,
Shublik, and Sag River reservoirs at Prudhoe Bay are the Cretaceous shales.
These shales range in thickness from 1600 to 2000 feet and blanket the Prudhoe
EOA.

The Lisburne Group is a thick sequence of Mississippian and Pennsylvanian
carbonate rocks that underlie the Ivishak Group. The contact of the
Lisburne with overlying formations is unconformable, and is easily

recognized on most well logs. The Lisburne occurs at approximately -8300'
subsea along the northern edge of the Prudhoe Bay Field and becomes
progressively deeper to the south and west. (Figure G-3)
The Lisburne Group is subdivided into the Wahoo and Alapah Formations,
each of which is approximately 1000' thick in the EOA. The Wahoo consists
predominantly of limestone with lesser amounts of dolomite, siltstone,
shale, and chert. Pyrite and glauconite are present in minor amounts.
Porosity development is determined by a complex interaction of diagenetic
processes and is extremely variable. Some intervals have porosity in
excess of 20% and permeability in the 20 millidarcy range, while other
intervals have porosity of 1-2% and no measurable permeability.
The Alapah is made up of limestones and dolomites, with minor siltstone,
shale, and chert. Porosity development in the Alapah is controlled by
dolomitization, cementation, and leaching. Extensively leached dolomite
intervals can have porosity exceeding 25% and permeability approaching
300 millidarcies. Highly cemented limestone intervals have essentially no
porosi ty or per meabili ty .
B. Formation Water Salinity
Laboratory analysis of a sample of formation water from the South Bay
State III well, located in the NW corner of section 22 - T 11 N - R 15E,
indicates a salinity value of 26,520 ppm TDS. Because the Lisburne is only
in an initial stage of development, no further salinity data is available.
II.
Confining Intervals
The upper confining zones for the Lisburne are the Kavik and Cretaceous shales,
which have been discussed in the previous section. The underlying confining zone
is the Kayak Shale, which consists of dark-gray shale with varying amounts of
sandstone and limestone. The Kayak exceeds 500' in thickness in the EOA and
does not have appreciable porosity or permeability.

All openhole logs from EOA wells are sent to the Commission as the logs are
completed.
Attachment H-l is a type-log for the EOA with stratigraphic and marker horizons
annotated, and representative salinity data. The Sag River State No.1 well, located in
Section 4, TI0N, R15E, UM, was chosen as the type-log for the EOA because it is a
centrally located deep test well that penetrated the total prospective stratigraphic
column into "basement".
It is evident from the well data studied that all of the major and minor reservoir
horizons within the EOA have formation waters in excess of 10,000 ppm TDS.

Injection Fluid
20 AAC 25.402(c)(9)
20 AAC 25.252(c)(7)
The injection fluid for the two types of injection at the EOA are: 1) water and gas for
enhanced recovery, and 2) fluids brought to the surface and comingled with non-
hazardous waste streams for disposal wells.
Subsection 1
Enhanced Recovery
A. Type of Fluid - Source Water. This fluid is treated seawater injected into the oil
production zone for pressure maintenance. Small amounts of chemical used for
water treatment at this time, or planned for future use, are coagulants, anti-
foam products, scale inhibitors, biocides, and oxygen scavengers. Current,
typical treatment volumes of these products are:
coagulant: 0 to 1 ppm
anti-foam: 0 to .35 gal. per 1000 barrels
scale inhibitors: 0 to 4 ppm
biocide: four shock treatments per month, 500 ppm over duration of 6.5 hours
Oxygen scavenger: 0 to 2.5 lbs. per 1000 barrels
These treatment amounts are subject to revision, based on operational needs and
requirements.

Fracture Information
20 AAC 25.402(c)(ll)
20 AAC 25.252(c)(9)
The proposed maximum injection pressures for the enhanced recovery and fluid
disposal wells will not initiate fractures in the confining strata which might enable the
injection or formation fluid to enter freshwater strata.
Subsection 1
Enhanced Recovery
Injection in the Ivishak Formation, above formation parting pressure, may be necessary
in the future to allow for additional recovery of oil. In no instance would such
injection pressures breach the integrity of the confining zone. The Ivishak Formation
is overlain by approximately 2000 feet of confining shales which act as an
impermeable confining zone.
Figure L-l shows an estimated fracture gradient curve used in the well plans for wells
drilled in EOA. This curve has been verified through drilling experience and numerous
leakoff tests. It should be noted that the curve is applicable only to clean sandstones
and is the pressure required to initiate fractures. Pressures required to propagate
fractures will exceed this pressure.
Thick shale sequences tend to behave as a plastic medium and can be expected to
contain significantly higher pressures than sandstones. A leakoff test in the Kingak
shale above the Ivishak and Sag River formations demonstrated leakoff at a gradient
of .85 psi/ft.

Recent studies (Perkins and Gonzales) indicate fracture gradients may be reduced in
typical waterflooding situations due to reduced thermal stresses associated with the
injection of colder water. Declining reservoir pressure can also reduce formation
stresses, thereby reducing the fracture gradient. Given the present reservoir pressure
and injected water temperatures, the fracture gradient ranges approximately between
0.52-0.63 psi/ft. in a typical water flood situation in the Ivishak Formation. This has
been verified by numerous step rate tests, multi-rate analyses, and pressure falloff
analyses on water injection wells in the Ivishak water floods.
Injection profile logs, with emphasis on temperature logs, indicate that there is no
vertical propagation of fractures within the Ivishak sandstone, much less propagation
into the confining strata, at pressures exceeding the measured fracture gradient.
Reference: Perkins, T. K. and Gonzales, J. A., "Changes in Earth Stresses Around a
Wellbore caused by Radically Summetrical Pressure and Temperature Gradients," SPE
10080, 1981.
Subsection 2
Fluid Disposal
The injection zones for fluid disposal and all zones above and below the injection zones
contain greater than 10,000 mg/l TDS and are not freshwater strata. Therefore
injection at above parting pressure would not result in formation or injection fluid
movement into freshwater strata. Recent studies of the fluid disposal wells at Pad 3
substantiate the lack of pressure buildup in the zone and lack of fluid movement
outside the injection zone.
The confining shales below the injection zone are in excess of 2000 feet vertical
thickness. The upper confining zones consist of numerous interbedded confining shales
and mudstones averaging 10 to 50 feet thick and over 1800 feet of permafrost.

Estimates of formation water salinity values have been made across the EOA and no
USDW (less than 10,000 mg/l TOS) were found. By utilizing well log data, an
approximation of the formation water salinity can be made using resistivity and
porosity well logs. Standard industry log evaluation equations, including the Archie
equation for unconsolidated sandstones, were used to determine the salinity values
(Figure N-l). Calculated salinities correlate well with the results from laboratory
water analysis from the Upper Ugnu water supply well 113 in the Kuparuk River Unit.
The good relationship between the laboratory measured salinities and the log based
equations permit salinity calculations at many more data points than are available
from actual laboratory measured salinity. Although the log calculated and laboratory
salinity values do not match exactly, the log calculated salinity values are generally
representative of the actual formation water salinity.
Formation water salinity values were calculated using "clean" sandstones for six
stratigraphic intervals from six wells across the EOA (Figure N-2). No salinity values
less than 10,000 ppm were computed for any of the intervals. In wells 7-10-14, 14-5
and 6-4, the T -3 interval is believed to contain minor amounts of hydrocarbons which
raise the measured formation resistivity and lower the calculated salinity. Thus, the
presence of hydrocarbons invalidates the formation water salinity calculations in these
intervals. The salinity values for each horizon were averaged and placed on the Sag
River State type log for reference (Figure H-l).
Based on the Alaska Test Lab core analysis of the B. P. Permafrost Test well 12-10-14,
no USDW is present at the base of the permafrost (1858'). Laboratory analysis of
formation water in the porous and permeable sandstones and gravels at the base of the
permafrost indicate that intervals capable of flowing formation water contain salinity
values in excess of 10,000 mg/l TDS. The TDS concentration is greater than
10,000 mg/l at 1823' (Appendix G, Sheet 61 of 67; Alaska Test Labs Report). The

Hydrocarbon Recovery
20 AAC 25.402(c)(l4)
As stated in the "Application for Additional Recovery," December, 1980, fieldwide oil
recovery from the Ivishak Reservoir is expected to be increased by 6 to 9% of original
oil-in-place as a result of the water flood project. Recovery in the Flow Station Three
Injection Project Area is expected to be increased by 5.5% of original oil-in-place
above that attainable with waterflooding as a result of miscible injection (reference:
application dated August, 1982). Recovery in the Prudhoe Bay Miscible Gas Project
area is expected to be increased by 5.2% of original oil-in-place above that attainable
with waterflooding as a result of miscible injection (reference: application dated
December, 1983).
Total expected hydrocarbon recovery from the Lisburne formation is 200-600 MMBO,
or 7-20% of currently estimated oil originally in place. Water flood is expected
to contribute up to 400 MMBO of the total.

Re: Prudhoe Bay Unit, Eastern Operating Area
r
Dear Mr. Chatterton:
I
ARCO Alaska, Inc. has reviewed the recently adopted regulations
governing the control of underground injection related to the recovery
and production of oil and natural gas. Two variances to thesp. regu-
lations are requested with regard to operations in the Eastern Operat-
ing Area of the Prudhoe Bay Field. Paragraph 20 AAC 25.450(a) allows
the Commission to authorize less stringent requirements if: (1)
injection does not occur into, through, or above a freshwater source,
and (2) the reduction in requirements will not result in an increased
risk of movement of fluids into a freshwater source. No underground
sources of drinking water are currently present in the Eastern Operat-
ing Area, and thus less stringent requirements may be authorized at
the discretion of the Commission.
I
I
I
Varianee Number 1:
(
Relief is requested from the reporting requirements of Paragraph
20 AAC 25.432 wherein monthly reporting of casing and tubing pressures
may be required for injection wells. This information is not included
in our automated data reporting system because it has not previously
bep.n required by the Commission. Reporting of casing pressure for
injection wells has not been required by the EPA, and time consuming
manual reports that include tubing pressures have been prepared for
the EPA for only a portion of the injection wells. Submittal of these
pressures on a monthly basis would require either extensive reworking
of our automated reporting system or extensive manual compilation.
The expense associated with monthly submittal of this additional
information does not appear warranted. In the event periodic pressure
monitoring in the field shows non-compliance with any regulation, the
Commission will be notified and corrective action taken.
I
(
I
I
Variance Number 2:
I
Paragraphs 20 AAC 25.252 (e) and 20 AAC 25.402 (e) require immediate
notification of the Commission, and Commission-approved corrective
action taken if the casing-tubing annulus pressure subjects the casing
to a hoop stress that exceeds 70 percent of the minimum yield strength

of the casing, or if there is more than a 200 psi change in the
pressure between consecutive pressure readings. ARCO Alaska, Inc.
requests relief from the 200 psi change requirement, and requests that
the 70 percent limit alone be used as the sole criteria for immediate
notification of the Commission.
I
Changes in casing pressure of 200 psi or more occur .frequently in
response to changes in injection pressure and temperature. This being
the case, using a pressure change of 200 psi or more between consecu-
tive readings is not a viable means of identifying tubing leaks at
Prudhoe Bay. In any case, periodic monitoring of casing pressures and
pressure trends will continue in order to assess the condition of each
injection well's tubing string and packer.
I
r
The Oil and Gas Conservation Commission's consideration of these
requested variances is respectfully requested.

Lisburne Participating Area
Within the Prudhoe Bay Unit
An economically viable hydrocarbon accumulation within the Prudhoe
Bay Unit has been discovered and delineated in a Pennsylvanian/
Mississippian aged limestone/dolomite reservoir within the Lisburne
group (Exhibit 1), which is separate and distinct from the
Sadlerochit sandstone/ conglomerate group of Permo-Triassic age.
The undersigned owners are in the process of developing the Lisburne
reservoir and want to establish a Lisburne Participating Area (LPA)
pursuant to Article 5.3 of the Prudhoe Bay Unit Agreement (PBUA),
and Article 21 of the Prudhoe Bay Unit Operating Agreement (PBUOA).
ARCO Alaska, Inc. will be the Operator for the LPA in both the
Eastern and Western Operating Areas for Lisburne Operations.
Commencement of sustained commercial production is targeted for late
1986. Approximately 30 wells will be available for production and
injection purposes at three of the six planned drill sites and the
Lisburne Gas Injection Pad (LGI).
Electric logs, core analyses, and production test data from the
wells shown on Exhibit 2 have been used to determine reservoir
liquids saturation and fluid contacts. These determinations were
based on well tests, such as those tabulated on Exhibit 3. Develop-
ment plans are based on a reservoir containing some 3 billion
barrels of oil and 500 billion cubic feet of gas cap gas with a
gas/oil contact at approximately -8,600' subsea and a producing
water/oil contact at approximately -9,150' subsea. The primary
recovery mechanisms of this tight, naturally fractured reservoir are
solution gas and gas cap expansion, with possibly some gravit)~
drainage but little or no aquifer support. Well stim~lation,
primarily acidizing and fracturing, have greatly improved production
test rates. Initially, all produced gas in excess of fuel require-
ments will be injected into the reservoir. Further testing and
analyses are necessary to determine if some other~!o~~f pressure

support is justifiable. . ,. - - - ~ ~.,

In keeping with our other North Slope operations, a minimum number
of work pads and interconnecting roads have been, or will be,
constructed for the Lisburne operations. A Facilities Sharing
Agreement with the Prudhoe Bay Unit Initial Participating Areas
(IPAs) minimizes the surface utilization for the development of this
oil reservoir. All facilities for the first increment of develop-
ment (Exhibit 4), have been or are being placed following the 1986
sealift J except Drill Site L4 flowlines, the gravel island Drill
Site L6, and its connecting causeway.
Wells will be drilled from drill sites with three phase production
shipped to the Lisburne Production Center (LPC) for treatment prior
to delivery to TAPS. Produced water will be injected, and gas will
be used as fuel, sold, or injected. The LPC will have a nominal
design capacity of 100,000 STB/D oil, 10,000 STB/D water, and
400-600 MMSCF/D gas. Hydrogen sulfide detection equipment, safety
flares, and a complete fire fighting system, including both halon
and water deluge insure compliance with both regulatory and industry
standards to protect personnel, the environment, and equipment.
The tracts to be included in the LPA all lie within the Prudhoe Bay
Unit boundaries. In accordance with Section 2.5 of the PBUA,
Exhibits C-1 and D-3 are submitted herewith. Exhibit C-1 describes
the LPA and tract participation, and Exhibit D-3 depicts the
boundary lines of the LPA. The proposed Lisburne Plan of Develop-
ment and Operations (which will become Exhibit E-2 to the PBUA when
the LPA is formed) is being submitted separately as Exhibit 45-D to
the Lisburne Special, Supplemental Provisions (Lisburne Provisions).
These provisions will be supplemental to, and in accordance with,
the General Provisions of the PBUOA and apply only to the LPA. The
Lisburne Provisions will be submitted before the commencement of
sustained commercial production from the LPA.

to the Prudhoe Bay Unit Agreement
PLAN OF DEVELOPMENT AND OPERATION
FOR THE LISBURNE PARTICIPATING AREA
The Lisburne Participating Area will be developed and operated in
accordance with the following plan. The first increment of
development described in Part I below, provides for the design,
implementation, and operation of the initial development of the
Lisburne Reservoir. Possible future development increments are
outlined in Part II.
PART I - FIRST INCREMENT OF DEVELOPMENT
Summary
Initial development of the Lisburne Reservoir will include up to
200 development wells directionally drilled for production,
injection, and water disposal purposes. Commencement of
sustained commercial production is targeted in late 1986 at which
time approximately 30 wells will be available for production and
injection purposes.
Produced well fluids will be directed to the Lisburne Production
Center (LPC). The centrally located LPC is a stand-alone facili-
ty with a nominal Hydrocarbon Liquids handling capacity of
100,000 stock tank barrels per day (STB/D). Hydrocarbon Liquids
will be processed to pipeline specifications and transported to
TAPS Pump Station # 1 (PS-1). Produced gas in excess of that
needed to meet gas lift or fuel requirements will be injected
into the Lisburne Reservoir or sold.

DRAFT
The following summarizes the plans for initial development of the
Lisburne Reservoir. The surface location of Lisburne facilities
is shown in Figure 1.
1. Drill Sites
There will be five onshore drill-sites (DS-Ll through DS-L5)
for oil production. Present plans include an offshore
gravel island drill site (DS-L6) for production and in-
jection purposes to be constructed in Prudhoe Bay with a
gravel causeway connection to shore. The Corps of Engineers
is planning to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement for
the DS-L6 causeway and island, thus, DS-L6 development is
subject to their findings. There will be one additional
onshore gravel pad used primarily for Lisburne gas injection
(LGI pad). Gravel for the five onshore drill sites and LGI
pad has been placed. Drill site modules were sealifted and
the onshore modules were installed in 1985.
At each drill site, production will be commingled near the
wellhead, heated, and transferred in pipelines to the LPC
for processing. Well testing facilities will be provided at
each of the drill sites. Gas lift headers have been in-
stalled in the mini-manifold and space on vertical support
"members (VSMs) will be provided at the drill sites for
future gas lift.
2. Lisburne Production Center (LPC)
The LPC will contain oil, gas, and water processing facil-
i ties. The nominal design handling capacities of the LPC
will be 100,000 STB/D oil, 600 million standard cubic feet
per day (MMSCF/D) gas, and 10,000 STB/D water. The oil will
be processed in three stages of separation to satisfy

DRAFT
pipeline specifications, metered, and pumped to Pump
Station 41 (PS-l). Produced gas will be gathered from the
three stages of separation, dehydrated, compressed, and
transferred by pipeline to either the LG! pad or other
appropriate drill sites for injection into the Lisburne
Reservoir. The gas compression facilities at the LPC will
initially be sized for a nominal 400 MMSCF/D gas. A second
increment of compression facilities, sized for a nominal 200
MMSCF /D gas, may be added after start-up as dictated by
reservoir gas producing trends. A depropanizer plant will
be included in the LPC with a nominal capacity of 400 MMCF/D
gas. Produced water will be injected into one or more water
disposal wells located on the LPC pad.
Power generation facilities will be installed at the LPC.
Distribution to the drill sites will be accomplished by
overhead, VSM supported, or buried electrical transmission
lines. The LPC modules were sealifted in 1986.
3. Support Facilities
Certain support facilities will be shared with the Initial
Participating Areas. These include the Co-User Camp core
facilities, potable water and waste disposal facilities,
shop and maintenance facilities, certain roads and bridges,
crawlers, rubber tire vehicles (RTVs), module movement and
placement equipment, mobile, non-mobile and construction
equipment, airstrip, construction pad, storage and warehouse
space, fire fighting equipment, medical facilities, communi-
cation facilities, and oily waste disposal facilities.
Additional non-shared support facilities will be constructed
including living quarters, warehouse space, and a tele-
communications system.

4. Pipelines
Pipelines have been installed to transfer produced fluids
from the onshore drill sites to the LPC for processing.
There are also pipelines for gas which is returned to the
onshore drill sites and LGI pad for injection, fuel, and gas
lift gas. Gas may be delivered to each drill site and the
LGI pad at injection pressure allowing for possible gas
injection at any drill site. The gas pressure will be
reduced at each drill site to a pressure suitable for use in
fuel gas and gas lift gas systems.
A Hydrocarbon Liquid sales pipeline has been installed
between the LPC and PS-l for Lisburne production. Necessary
metering and custody transfer equipment will be provided at
PS-l.
5. Wells
Up to 200 wells are planned for oil productionj water
disposal and injection. To maximize economic recovery
within the Lisburne, it may be necessary to drill on irreg-
ular spacing, selectively complete wells, provide dual
completion capability, work over wells to limit gas or water
production and/or provide selective pressure support. All
wells will probably require some type of stimulation.
At commencement of sustained commercial production approxi-
mately 30 wells will be available for production, injection,
and water disposal.

PART II - ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT INCREMENTS
The Lisburne Owners are currently conducting studies to evaluate
the potential for future development increments. The Lisburne
facilities have been designed to allow for the future addition of
facilities required for additional development increments.
1. Waterflood
The implementation and timing of a large scale water flood is
dependent upon the outcome of waterflood feasibility
studies. Special well tests and core studies are underway
to evaluate waterflood potential in the Lisburne Reservoir.
A pilot water injectivity test is planned at DS-L2 with
water injection beginning in late 1986.
Critical tie-ins for future produced water handling facil-
ities have been allowed for in the design of the LPC.
2. Low Pressure Separation and Expanded ðrtificial Lift
The Lisburne Owners have preinvested in critical tie-in
connections and have allowed space for future low pressure
separation and for expansion of gas lift capabilities. The
timing of these expansions is dependent upon reservoir
performance and the timing ,of waterflood.
3. Gas Sales
The Lisburne Owners have pre-invested in a tie-in on the gas
injection flow line for connection into a future gas pro-
cessing facility. The timing of gas sales is dependent upon
market demands and the availability of a tr~nsportation
system.

PURPOSE
The Prudhoe Bay Unit Operators request approval by the
Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (AOGCC) to apply
waterflooding to the Permo-Triassic (Sadlerochit) reservoir.
SCOPE
I
I
I
This application to conduct water injection in the Prudhoe
Bay Unit Permo-Triassic (Sadlerochit) formation specifically
addresses the near term commencement of produced water
injection and the longer term plans to use Beaufort Sea
(source) water to increase oil recovery from this reservoir.
Produced water injection will start in late 1980 with low
volume injection in the Flow Station 2 area and will begin
in other flow stations and gathering centers as volumes
increase to an anticipated ultimate rate of approximately 1
million barrels of water per day (MMBWPD). Beaufort Sea
water injection will begin in mid-1984 at 1.5 MMBWPD and
expand to a total of 2 MMBWPD with the completion of the
second major flood increment in 1985. A total of about 3 MM
barrels per day of produced and source water will be injected
into the field toward the end of this decade.
'I
I
:1
The Operators recognize that variations in reservoir quality
and primary producing mechanisms demand thorough performance
analysis and jUdicious use of waterflooding. Water injection
in those areas of the field with low natural depletion
recovery is economically justified because it increases
ultimate recovery and provides the pressure support needed
to help sustain the producing capacity. In order to successfully
design, install, and operate this major project, a high
degree of flexibility is needed to permit the use of new
data from the ongoing development and operation of the field
to our maximum advantage.

The ongoing surveillance of reservoir performance will be
supplemented by water injection data as produced water
injection is implemented. As discussed below, the new data
will impact the current plans for the ultimate disposition
of the peak water injection volume. The Unit Owners believe
that water injection is one of many major, capital intensive
efforts which will be used to maximize economic oil recovery
from this field.
CONTENT
In accordance with Article 5, Section 400, of the AOGCC
regulations, April, 1980, the information required by 20 AAC
25.400. (b). (1-9) is submitted in this application. Questions
concerning the material presented here should be addressed
to the Unit Operators.
SPECIAL REQUESTS
A. Administrative Flexibility
The waterflood concept proposed in this application is
predicated on a mid-1984 source water flood start-up.
Design is based on reservoir and operating information
available today. These secondary recovery plans must
remain flexible to ensure efficient implementation and
operation of a project of this magnitude.
The Operators request that the AOGCC provide for administrative
flexibility to accommodate changes and additions to the
2lans presented in this application. Such key items as
injection well selection and spacing, pattern selection,
major flood area start-up sequence, and other major
elements of this additional recovery program could
require modification as field development continues and
as more is learned about reservoir performance. The
needs and expectations of the State of Alaska a~d

SPECIAL REQUEST{,Administrative Flexibilit}
the Prudhoe Bay Unit Owners will be served best by
providing for administrative action to approve changes
wherever possible.
B. Surveillance and Reporting
Prudent operation of this waterflood will require
continuous surveillance. Prior to implementation of
source water injection, the Operators will develop a
comprehensive surveillance program designed to ensure
that the necessary data are obtained. In the interim
the Operators will submit a semi-annual report on the
performance of the active water injection wells. This
report will be in addition to the monthly reporting
required by 20 AAC 25.430.
As discussed herein, changes in these plans can be
expected as additional information is obtained. The
Operators propose to inform the AOGCC of water flood
development progress and identify changes with semi-
annual reports. The first report will be submitted
approximately six months after approval of this application.

Waiver of this requirement is requested since semi-annual

on State of Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission Form
P-9, "Well Status Report and Gas-Oil Ratio Tests".
20 AAC 25.400. (b). (9): PLAN AND RATE OF DEVELOPMENT
A. CONTINUED FIELD DEVELOPMENT
Field development will continue as discussed in the May
7-8, 1980, Prudhoe Oil Pool Public Hearing. These
plans are summarized in the Prudhoe Bay Unit Annual
Progress Report submitted to the Director, Division of
Minerals and Energy Management, Department of Natural
Resources on July 21, 1980. This report was submitted
to meet the requirements of the Prudhoe Bay Unit Agreement
and is included as an appendix.
B. WATERFLOOD PROGRAM
Secondary recovery operations are planned at Prudhoe
Bay t.~ increase oil reco_very by 6-~..~_...~~P. The proposed
waterflood consists of approximately 2.0 MMBWPD of
Beaufort Sea (Source) water supplemented by full return
of produced Sadlerochit water. Water will be injected
into those portions of the reservoir which will have
low primary recovery. Of these areas, those identified
as Flow Station 2, Northwest Fault Block, and the
Peripheral Wedge Zone offer the greatest potential and
will be waterflooded first, Figure C. Also shown are
possible areas of expansion which include the Updip
Wedge Zone, the Mid-Field Tango, and the Gas Cap. As fill
up is reached in the initial flood areas and as produced
water volumes increase, water will be available for

injection into these expansion areas. However, additional
geologic data and reservoir performance studies are
needed to confirm that waterflooding is an attractive
additional recovery process in these portions of the
reservoir.
1. Initial Waterflood Areas
a. Flow Station 2
The Flow Station 2 area is characterized by
extensive shales. These shales and the
unconformity which truncates the Sadlerochit
in part of the Flow Station 2 area are severely
inhibiting gravity drainage and are reducing
gas cap pressure support. Consequently,
pressure has declined in this area faster
than in the rest of the field. Horizontal
gas movement under the shales from the gas
cap and the accumulation of liberated solution
gas have caused the average gas-oil ratio
(GOR) to rise faster than in other areas of
the field. Though these natural barriers are
hampering the gravity drainage recovery
mechanism, their presence will improve water flood
performance.
Two waterflood patterns are under consideration
at this time: an inverted nine spot, Figure
D, and a multiple line drive, Figure E.
These patterns do not exclude other approaches
but appear well suited to this part of the
reservoir. These two patterns have a number
of common injection wells which are shown on
the field plat, Figure A. It is likely that
these common wells will be used with additional
wells in the ultimate injection program to
develop an effective waterflood.

WATERFLOOD PROGRAÎ.. . Initial Waterflood Areasj~ L'low Station 2
In simulator studies, ultimate recovery and
oil rate projections for the inverted nine
spot and line drive patterns are virtually
the same. The key to pattern selection is an
improved reservoir description which can only
be obtained through longer term observation
of reservoir performance and the analysis of
ongoing injection tests. Thus, we plan to
collect as much data as possible prior to
making a timely decision on the ultimate
pattern selection.
The Flow Station 2 water flood plan calls for
injection of 800-1000 MBWPD. After fill up
injection will be reduced to balance withdrawals.
b. Northwest Fault Block
The Northwest Fault Block is another area of
the field where reservoir pressure decline
has been greater than the field average. The
pressure has declined in this area because
the down thrown fault blocks are remote from
the main field gas cap and have limited
aquifer influx, Figure F. The limited pressure
support in this area makes waterflooding look
attractive.
Currently two waterflood plans are under
consideration in this area: a peripheral
pattern, Figure G, and a center line plan,
Figure H. Several injection wells are common
to both patterns. As in the Flow Station 2
area, the Operators expect to convert these
wells and add other wells to complete the
appropriate injection pattern. Simulation

WATERFLOOD PROGRAlt. Ini tial Wa terflood Areas) lo'4orthwest Faul t Block
studies suggest that both patterns would
yield similar ultimate recovery and oil
production profiles. Uncertainties regarding
the transmissibility across the faults and
the efficiency of gravity drainage recovery
in the southern fault block make ultimate
pattern selection inappropriate at this time.
The extension of a pressure sink across the
southern fault confirms that fluids can move
across some major faults. However, additional
field performance and development drilling is
needed to resolve these uncertainties.
Work to date indicates the range of required
water injection rates to be from 500-700
MBWPD. This rate will be reduced after fill
up to balance voidage.
c. Peripheral Wedge Zone
The Peripheral Wedge Zone is characterized by
poor aquifer suppor~ the lack of a directly
overlying gas cap, and a relatively thin oil
column. This is expected to encourage horizontal
gas movement along the top of the Sadlerochit
formation and will cause high GOR's, low oil
production rates, and low oil recoveries.
Thus, the area appears to be a good waterflood
candidate.
As with the other two initial flood areas,
reservoir studies identify two possible
patterns for the Peripheral Wedge Zone: a
peripheral pattern, Figure I, and a multiple
line drive pattern with updip injectors
located so as not to interfere with gravity

drainage, Figure J. Additional work to
define the optimum pattern, injection well
count and spacing, and injection interval
includes further definition of the geologic
description and aquifer performance, and an
analysis of the interaction between the water
displacement and the gravity drainage mechanisms
in the updip areas.
Waterflooding in this area will begin with
low volume-produced water injection and
increase as additional volumes become available.
2. Potential Waterflood Expansion Areas
a. Mid-Field Tango
A Mid-Field Tango waterflood would be conducted
under Tango shales of adequate areal extent.
Primary oil recovery under these shales is
expected to be very low. Above the shale,
the oil column is thick and overlain by gas.
Oil recovery by gravity drainage above the
shales should be quite high.
_Pr71iminary work has shown that waterflooding
under these shal~s ....~s desirable only if they
~re a~.:.~~.~..~el~__~x!:-~~~ive and sealing. If the
shales are too small areally, early water
injection could interfere with gravity drainage
and reduce oil recovery from above the shale.
Thus, it appears prudent to delay waterflooding
in this area until more confidence can be
gained about the reservoir description.
Additional well control and production history
should provide the needed information.

The upstructure area of the field under the
Lower Tango shales appears to be another
waterflood candidate. The natural depletion
recovery in this part of the field is expected
to be quite low because the thin oil column
in the area is overlain by the gas cap.
Producing wells are expected to have gas-oil
ratios that rise quickly making them poor
producers. Preliminary work has indicated that
oil recovery can be improved by waterflooding
wherever relatively continuous sealing
Lower TangD shales are present. Future
development drilling will define the geology
of this area. If extènsive shales are encountered,
the Operators envision that the Updip Wedge
Zone could be included later in the overall
Prudhoe Bay waterflood.
c. Gas Cap
Fieldwide simulation studies indicate that
injection into the Gas Cap area for pressure
support may be beneficial. However, the total
impact of such water injection on either oil
zone performance or ultimate gas cap gas recovery
has not been thoroughly evaluated. Significant
additional work will be required prior to any
decision concerning gas cap injection.
C.
WATERFLOOD IMPLEMENTATION
The following implementation plans are consistent with
the previous discussion of the individual waterflood
areas. Produced water injection will continue beyond
the current field tests and complement source water
injection as full scale waterflooding begins.

WATERFLOOD IMPLEMENTATION
1. Produced Water Injection
To conserve reservoir energy and increase ultimate
recovery, the Operators intend to return virtually
all of the associated produced water to the Sadlerochit
oil reservoir. Fieldwide water production rates
up to about 1 MMBWPD are expected as the waterflood
project matu~es. Although the volumes are expected
to be very low initially, early injection of
produced water will provide valuable data regarding
water flood performance. These data, data from
injectivity tests, the drilling program, and
continuing reservoir studies will be used to
optimize the waterflood plan.
a. Eastern Operating Area (EOA)
Flow Station 1
The currently active water injectivity test
at Drill Site 5-17 is scheduled to continue
until 1983. By that time, produced water
injection capability will be available at
Drill Site 12. The downdip wells at that
drill site will be converted as warranted by
the increasing produced water volumes.
Flow Station 2
A long term produced water injection evaluation
program will begin at Drill Site 4-8 in late
1980. Water injection at Drill Site 4 will
expand as water production at Flow Station 2
increases. Additional wells will be converted
to injection service as required.

Flow Station 3
Produced water injection at Flow Station 3 is
scheduled to begin in late 1981. The downdip
wells at Drill Site 14 will be converted
initially and wells at Drill Site 13 will be
added as produced water volumes increase.
b. Western Operating Area (WOA)
Gathering Center 1
Recent forecasts show that less than 10 MBWPD
will be produced here prior to mid-1984.
Consequently, plans are to continue disposal
of the produced water into the Cretaceous
formation until start-up of the source waterflood.
Gatherin9 Center 2
Produced ~ater injection at Gathering Center
2 will begin in 1982. The peripheral wells
at R pad will be converted to water injection
as the produced water volume rises. This
injection location is part of the planned
Northwest Fault Block waterflood.
Gathering Center 3
Produced water injection at Gathering Center
3 is scheduled to begin in 1982. Downdip
wells at Pad X will be converted as the
produced water volumes increase.
2. Source Water Injection

start-up in two increments. The first increment

of 1.5 MMBWPD will start up in mid-1984 and serve

these areas may be injected into the Peripheral
Wedge Zone. A second increment of 0.5 MMBWPD will
be added in 1985 to provide the planned 2.0 MMBWPD
of source water volume. This will supply additional
water volumes to the Peripheral Wedge Zone area.

of the Prudhoe Bay Unit waterflood. Shown are the

D. WEST END (EILEEN AREA) DEVELOPMENT
Development of the West End (Eileen Area) of the Prudhoe
Oil Pool is included in the Unit Owners' ultimate field
development plans. Preliminary reservoir studies of
primary depletion and waterflooding have been made.
The Operators will continue to evaluate this area and
formulate appropriate plans consistent with the prudent,
continued development of the entire Prudhoe Oil Pool.
The ARCO Highland State #1 well, Sec.24,TllN,RllE, and
the Kuparuk well, Sec. 22, TIlN, R12E are currently
being completed as observation wells in the Sadlerochit
to observe pressure changes which will result from Main
Area development, production, and waterflooding. These
wells will provide valuable input into reservoir studies
to determine the optimum timing and approach to oil
recovery in the West End. Further geologic and fluid
data will also become available from the drilling of
several new wells which will occur in the near future.
CONCLUSIONS
Throughout this application and the May, 1980, Prudhoe Oil
Pool Public Hearing, the Operators have emphasized the need
for flexibility in the waterflood design. The Operators
intend to gather as much field data as possible and request
that the AOGCCallow them to continue to evaluate all options
until the final waterflood pattern selections must be made.
To meet the planned 1984 source waterflood start-up, the
Unit Owners are actively pursuing the study of all the
factors which will affect these decisions.

ANNUAL PIDGRESS REPORI'
In accordance with provisions of the Prudhoe Bay Unit Agreerrent, this
Annual Progress Report has been prepared for sul:mission to the Director,
Division of Minerals & Energy Managerrent, Depart:rrent of Natural Resources.
'Ihe purpose of this rep:>rt is to surrmarize the previous years I acti v-

in the Unit Agreement as Exhibit I E I .
Oil Production
Since July 1, 1979 production to the TAPS line has 1:een essentially
continuous, with only very brief interruptions. During the periexi
of July 1, 1979 to May 31, 1980, a total of 484 MMB were delivered
to the pipeline at an average rate of 1442 MBPD. Total net oil
prc:duction from the field fran April 1, 1977 (the effective date of
the Prudhoe Bay Unit) to May 31, 1980 is l212~, including approxi-
mately 2.45 MMB net to the crude oil topping plant.
G:I.s ·Product.iön·and Injection
Since July 1, 1979 to May 31, 1980 a total of 480æ.1SCE' of gas has been
produced from the field and 437 MMMSCF was reinjected into the gas
cap of the Prudhoe Oil Pool. The majority of the renaining 43 MMMSCF
ha,s been used as fuel, purge and pilot gas, with only a minor aItOunt
flared. Flaring has been reduced to practical minimums and has been
in accordance with the rules established by the State of Alaska,
Division of Oil & Gas Conservation in Conservation Order No. 145-A,
of January 12, 1978.

Water Production
Water production to date has been rn:U1imal. From July 1, 1979 to
May 31, 1980 a total of 7.88 MMB of water has been produced, essen-
tially from 32 wells. This water has teen dis¡:x::>sed of by mjection
into the CretaceousjTertiary sands through dis¡:x::>sal wells located at
each of the FlCM Stations/Gathering Centers.
Additìonà.lWells and Fàcilities
As of July 1, 1979, 191 oil wells were connected and capable of pro-
ducing to the Flow Stations/Gathering Centers. A further 30 wells
were added in the Westem Operating Area (IDA) with. the tie in of
manifold extension facilities at each Gathering Center. 23 new wells
were added in the Eastem Operating Area (EOA) which includes 15
expansion wells associated with previously installed drill sites
and 8 wells associated with the addition of one new drill site.
'!be total number of oil production wells connected on May 31, 1980
was 244. Of these, 133 are in the Eastem Operating Area and 111 in the
Western Operating Area. In addîtion, 37 wells have been drilled, but
are awaiting either completion or connection of surfaœ facilities.
The rottan hole locations of the oil production wells drilled as of
July 1, 1980 are shO\VIl in Figure 1, together with }?Ossible future
l60-acre locations.

An additional 3 gas inje~ In wells were perforated at th(' 'lorth Gas
Injection Pad during the year, bringing the total number of gas in-
jection wells to 14.
Drilling is currently in progress at D.S. 2,6,11 and 17 in the IDA.
In the IDA drilling is in progress on well pads C,D,E,X, and Y.
Figure 2 shows the location of existing production facilities, pipelines,
roads I bridges I airstrips and base camps I together with facilities
under construction and possible future facilities.
'COntinued I:'eveloprtent
Well and facility additions are continuing in order to ensure that
adequate field capacity is available to neet oil pipel.ine demand up
to a maximum annual average oil rate of 1.5 r-MB/D, plus condensate
production, in accordance with Conse:tVâ.tion Order No. 145. Field
facilities will also be available to accamcdate gas pipeline del-
iveries of 2.0 BCF/D when a gas pi¡:::eline and plant to condition gas
to specification can be COI'C'q?leted.
In the WOA, well pad manifold facilities to connect future wells are
being fabricated. The first increrrent of these facilities is scheduled
for installation in late 1980, with subsequent increm=nts in following
years. Current plans envision a total of 257 wells in the Western
ÇPerating Area by 1984. Likewise in the EOA, facilities are being
fabricated in conjunction with installation of new drill sites. In
addition, expansion of several existing drill sites is scheduled during
the coming years. An estimated 283 wells will have been drilled and
connected in the IDA by 1984.

cne addi lional lCM stage ccrnpressor is scheduled for installation
at the Central Gas Compression Plant in late 1981 bringing the total
to 9 lav and 4 high stage units. In addition, 4 wells at the West
Gas Injection Pad have been drilled, and are awaiting a:.mpletion and
connection of surface facilities.
Conceptual and detailed engineering design studies have continued
through the past year for additional gathering systems, low pressure
gathering and separation systems, artificial lift systems, and addit-
ional produced water injection systems.
'n1e low pressure systems will·be installed in annual increrœnts covering
a four to six-year interval. The first increment is in the procurerœnt
stage and is scheduled to be operational in early 1982. This initial
incre:nent will be installed at Flow Station 2. The next increrœnt of
T.I::M Pressure facilities will be installed at Flow Station 3, and
Gathering Center 2, and is scheduled to be in operation by early to
mid-1983.
Eventually, the low pressure system, consisting of a gathering system,
separation facilities and ccmpression facilities, will be installed at
each of the Flow Stations and Gathering Centers.
Several concepts of gas lift facilities are currently under revie.w. The
configuration and timing of installation of these facilities is de:pend.ent
upon the results of the current studies.
!he first increment of additional produced water injection facilities
will be operational in early 1981. These facilities will be capable of

. injecting produced wa~ 'into the Sadlerochit reservo~ It is currently
planned that by 1982 five of the six Gathering Centers and Flow Stations
will have this capabi1i ty .
During the past year, considerable engineering effort was devoted to the
continued conceptual and preliminary design studies for a source water
injection system. In August 1979, applications for rrajor pennits were
submitted to the U. s. Army Corps of Engineers and to the Alaska State
Division of Minerals and Energy Managerrent, with (X)pies to other various
federal, state and local agencies. The penni.t applications cover the
construction and or:eration of a 2.2 MMBWPD source water injection system
using Beaufort Sea water. In April, 1980, an Enviro:n.mental Assessrrent was
issued, and, after receiving ca:mrents from interested agencies, the Draft
Envirornrental Impact Sta1:enent was issued during June, 1980. A final EIS
will be prepared and penni. ts for the source water injection system are
targetted for issuance by Novem'ber, 1980.
'!he current concept for the source water injection system envisions an
intake structure and water treatment plant located at the end of a 3700'
causeway extension beyond Dock No.3. !DÑ pressure water would be
distributed to two central pumping stations located in the East and
West Operating Areas. Fran thesepump:ing stations, high pressure water
would be distributed to the appropriate Drill Si tes/Drill Pads for
injection into the Sadlerochit reservoir.
r:eta,iled design for the source water injection system is scheduled to
begin in July, 1980. If approval of the EIS and all other required
penoits are received. by late 1980, a mid-1984 start-up of the Beaufort
Sea, waterf100d is possible. If the pennits are not received and equip-
ment ordered by January, 1981, availability of rrodules for the 1983
sealift would be seriously jeopardized with associated delay in the
waterf100d start-up to mid-1985.

Dear Sir:
Sohio Alaska Petroleum Company and ARCO Oil & Gas Company, as
Operators of the Prudhoe Bay Unit, respectfully submit herewith
a progress report for the twelve (12) months ending June 1980,
as required by the final paragraph of Exhibit E-1 to the Prudhoe

LISBURNE RESERVOIR AREA
The only Lisburne penetration during the report period was by
ARCO in Term Well A on Lease No. 28300 located 1250' FNSL and
22001 FWEL, Sec. 33, T12N, R14E, UPM. The well was spudded
January 9, 1980 and drilled to a total depth of 97151 M.D. The
results are confidential and are on file with the State Oil and
Gas Conservation Commission.
Sohio permitted their Sag Delta 34630 No.5 (36-12-15) located
in the western half of Section 36, T12N, R15E to investigate
the Lisburne Reservoir area. They will not be able to drill
the well until the 1980-1981 winter season due to the rig
shortage.
Evaluation of the Lisburne continues to determine its
development possibilities. Minimal additional seismic data was
obtained. The seismic data is under study and should provide a
better understanding of the structural properties and gross rock
characteristics. ARCO'splans for next year involve using
existing wellbores to collect additional data. There will also
be an extended production test of the West Bay State No.1 well
in the next few years. Additional Lisburne penetrations will
be considered during the next year.

I
I
KUPARUK AND NORTH PRUDHOE BAY AREAS
No wells have been drilled in either of these areas during the
report period. Geological studies of the Kuparuk are continuing.
ARCO has begun a Kuparuk development program approximately two
miles west of the Prudhoe Bay Unit. This program may assist in
evaluating the Kuparuk area of the PrudhQe Bay Unit. Additional
seismic data will be gathered during the next year in this area.
