All, The e-mail below documents the last conversation I had with anyone on the AE02 expansion. The only other thing I have found, besides the information I forwarded to Jim and Jody this week, is that there was a meeting on Wed. Nov 2002 in our offices which Bob set up. This is the last meeting I was involved with on the subject. Attending were Bob, Tom, myself, Allison Cooke, Sean Monico, Jeanne Dickey and a BP geologist. There had been a problem prior to this in ascertaining what area was really covered by AEO 2, hence the long period between application and this time. At that meeting, Bob explained the results of conversations he had with the EPA and explained that if the aquifer salinity was above the cutoff, that we could handle it here through normal Conservation Order. They presented geologic work which would suggest that the salinity should be higher than this amount (at least in the areas for which they were concerned). I noted that more direct evidence of the salinity is through testing of water samples from Prince Creek which they produce for reinjection into the Kuparuk and asked them what the salinity was in these wells. Finally, they told us, and it was definitely relatively fresh. As I recall, they were going back to revise the area they would apply for. They said disposal would not be pursued outside of the area that is above the salinity cutoof. We were all angry that we went through this whole gyration before they finally told us about the actual measurements from these source water wells. It was if they were hiding the information. I even called Jeanne Dickey to express my disgust with there behavior. She said that they were planning to tell us off the bat, but we got down a different road. I think that they would not have given this information if we had not specifically asked. Bob just stated that he recalls they withdrew the application. I don't see any record on that. They should have put this in writing, but alas, we cannot find that file. I have no idea what happened here, but I do know there was a paper copy with Commission stamp of the application, which I gave to Jim, and that we noticed the application which is on the R drive. I also know there was a file, which included these items. Jim, you said that BP is not in complience as some water injection wells are outside the approved AEO. At that time the Commission's handling of this was that there could be no waivers concerning any of the wells. I specifically adressed this with Cammy and Bob when we prepared AIO 10 A as I was concerned about this discrepancy. Sean Monico and Alison Cooke are the contacts at BP for this. I recommend you pursue this with them.

[Fwd: [Fwd: RE: Mime Point boundary for AIO & AEO]] Tom and Steve - BP is proposing disposal injection at MPU - they are planning separate Class I and II-D injectors. Alllison Cooke is contact for BP (564-4838); I suggested they submit a DIO for Milne. She had requested a meeting (Wed, 5/19) to provide an overview of MPU disposal injection plans. Without knowing the status of the confusion surrounding expansion of AEO 2, I suggested to her that such a meeting may not be necessary (would like to review application first). That may have been premature. Attached is an application from BP dated March 28, 2002, requesting expansion of AEO 2 to include additional lands in conjunction w/MPU development. Also attached is the public notice (was it published?) and supporting info (salinity, email exchanges, etc.). Not sure why this was not acted on - seem to be differing opinions among staff. Regardless, it seems to me that this should be handled by the West team to be consistent with our current work structure. Perhaps one of you should call Allison Cooke at BP to further discuss need for meeting.

March 28, 2002 RECEIVED MAR 2 B 2002 Ala8fcaoø&GIICq.~ AndtorItIt e e APPLICA TION TO AMEND AQUIFER EXEMPTION ORDER NO.2 MILNE POINT UNIT BP Exploration (Alaska) Inc. (BP), Milne Point Unit Operator, files this application to amend Aquifer Exemption Order No. 2 (AEO-2) for the Milne Point Unit. AEO-2, issued July 8, 1987, exempted freshwater aquifers underlying Milne Point Unit for Class IT injection activities pursuant to 20 AAC 25.440. BP requests amendment of AEO-2 to amend the described area in the AEO to coincide with leases that are wholly or partially included in the Milne Point Unit. Milne Point Unit (MPU) currently contains the Schrader Bluff Oil Pool (SBOP), Kuparuk River Oil Pool (KROP) and the Sag River Oil Pool (SGOP). The boundaries of the unit, as well as the several oil pools, have been altered over the past several years. When AEO-2 was issued in 1987, it coincided with the KROP boundaries included within Area Injection Order No. 10, which included the following tracts ofland: Umiat Meridian Township Range Sections T13N R9E 13-14 (all); 23-24 (all) T13N RlOE 1-36 (all) T13N R11E 5-8 (all); 15-22 (all); 29-32 (all) . BP requests amendment of AEO-2 to amend the described area in the AEO to coincide with leases that are wholly or partially included in the Milne Point Unit. As of the date of this application, MPU leases are described as follows: Umiat Meridian Township Range Sections T12N RlOE 1-2 (all); 11-12 (all) T12N R11E 1-12 (all) e e T13N R9E 1 (all); 2 (N Y2, SE % );11 (NE %); 12-14 (all); 23-24 (all) T13N RlOE 1-36 (all) T13N RllE 5-8 (all); 17-20 (all); 27-34 (all) T14N R9E 21-15 (all); 22-27 (all); 34-36 (all) T14N R10E 15-22 (all); 27-35 (all) Amendment of AEO-2 to designate the freshwater aquifer in MPU as exempt is appropriate under 20 AAC 25.440(a)(1)(B). The aquifer (sometimes known as the Prince Creek Aquifer) does not currently serve as a source of drinking water, and it cannot now, and will not in the future serve as a source of drinking water, because it is situated at a depth or location that makes recovery of water for drinking water purposes economically or technologically impractical. The oil field camps produce water at an average cost of about 2 cent/gallon using surface water sources. These systems usually require filtration, flocculation and chemical treatment prior to storage. The small amount of system backwash is disposed of by flushing back to the surface. Economically, this compares with Conoco's Milne Point Unit experience in 1985 to use saline subsurface water as a source for feeding and operating a reverse osmosis (RO) process. Their system cost $10 MM and was so expensive, labor intensive and troublesome to keep going that it was abandoned. They chose to p':lrchase potable water at 3 cent/gallon until a surface system was installed. Additionally, ARCO reported to the EPA via letter in July 1984 that subsurface waters in their Kuparuk River Unit were not economically viable drinking water sources because a single source well and accessories would cost $2 MM more than using surface waters. Also, the sodium content was four times greater than acceptable limits and cleanup of the gassy-hydrocarbon saline waters would have been more expensive than using surface waters. The attached Exhibit #1 details comparative costs for installing & operating surface and subsurface systems. A 20,000 gallon per day plant using surface water could be installed for about $700,000 and might operate for 1.5-2.0 cents/gallon. A system using subsurface waters would cost about $3.4 MM and lifting-disposal costs for operating the wells alone would run 2 e e . . 1.5-2.0 cents/gallon of potable water. The additional RO vessel(s) and process equipment would thus make this type of system substantially more expensive and uneconomic.

March 28, 2002 e e APPLICATION TO AMEND AQUIFER EXEMPTION ORDER NO.2 MILNE POINT UNIT BP Exploration (Alaska) Inc. (BP), Milne Point Unit Operator, files this application to amend Aquifer Exemption Order No. 2 (AEO-2) for the Milne Point Unit. AEO-2, issued July 8, 1987, exempted freshwater aquifers underlying Milne Point Unit for Class II injection activities pursuant to 20 AAC 25.440. BP requests amendment of AEO-2 to amend the described area in the AEO to coincide with leases that are wholly or partially included in the Milne Point Unit. Milne Point Unit (MPU) currently contains the Schrader Bluff Oil Pool (SBOP), Kupàtuk River Oil Pool (KROP) and the Sag River Oil Pool (SGOP). The boundaries of the unit, as well as the several oil pools, have been altered over the past several years. When AEO-2 was issued in 1987, it coincided with the KROP boundaries included within Area Injection Order No. 10, which included the following tracts ofland: Umiat Meridian Township Range Sections T13N R9E 13-14 (all); 23-24 (all) T13N R10E 1-36 (all) T13N RllE 5-8 (all); 15-22 (all); 29-32 (all) BP requests amendment of AEO-2 to amend the described area in the AEO to coincide with leases that are wholly or partially included in the Milne Point Unit. As of the date of this application, MPU leases are described as follows: e e Umiat Meridian Township Range Sections T12N R10E 1-2 (all); 11-12 (all) T12N R11E 1-12 (all) T13N R9E 1 (all); 2 (N ~, SE l!4); 11 (NE l!4); 12-14 (all); 23-24 (all) T13N R10E 1-36 (all) T13N R11E 7-8 (all); 17-20 (all); 27-34 (all) T14N R9E 11-15 (all); 22-27 (all); 34-36 (all) T14N R10E 15-22 (all); 27-35 (all) Amendment of AEO-2 to designate the freshwater aquifer in MPU as exempt is appropriate under 20 AAC 25.440(a)(1)(B). The aquifer (sometimes known as the Prince Creek Aquifer) does not currently serve as a source of drinking water, and it cannot now, and will not in the future serve as a source of drinking water, because it is situated at a depth or location that makes recovery of water for drinking water purposes economically or technologically impractical. The oil field camps produce water at an average cost of about 2 cent/gallon using surface water sources. These systems usually require filtration, flocculation and chemical treatment prior to storage. The small amount of system backwash is disposed of by flushing back to the surface. Economically, this compares with Conoco's Milne Point Unit experience in 1985 to use saline subsurface water as a source for feeding and operating a reverse osmosis (RO) process. Their system cost $10 MM and was so expensive, labor intensive and troublesome to keep going that it was abandoned. They chose to purchase potable water at 3 cent/gallon until a surface system was installed. Additionally, ARCO reported to the EP A via letter in July 1984 that subsurface waters in their Kuparuk River Unit were not economically viable drinking water sources because a single source well and accessories would cost $2 MM more than using surface waters. Also, the sodium content was four times greater than acceptable limits and cleanup of the gassy-hydrocarbon saline waters would have been more expensive than using surface waters. 2 e e The attached Exhibit #1 details comparative costs for installing & operating surface and subsurface systems. A 20,000 gallon per day plant using surface water could be installed for about $700,000 and might operate for 1.5-2.0 cents/gallon. A system using subsurface waters would cost about $3.4 MM and lifting-disposal costs for operating the wells alone would run 1.5-2.0 cents/gallon of potable water. The additional RO vessel(s) and process equipment would thus make this type of system substantially more expensive and uneconomic. BP requests that the Commission provide appropriate notice and opportunity for a public hearing in accordance with 20 AAC 25.440(b), as well as opportunity for review by the United States Environmental Protection Agency under 20 AAC 25.440(d) and 40 CFR 144.7(b)(3). 3 e e Exhibit #1 Investment Costs for Potable Water Systems North Slope Oil Field Area (December 1994) Surface Water Source Cost for a 20,000 gallon/day filtration-purification system fed by surface water of average chemical composition. · Process Equipment · 20 x 20 Building · Source pumps & Pipeline Depend on surface situation, assume 800 feet of line Total Installed Cost Subsurface Water Source · Source well 2600 feet deep With freeze protection, controls, etc. · Disposal well for injecting desalination vessel waste water · Gravel Pads for wells (permitting & installation) · Source-water gas separation, waste water tankage, injection pumps, piping . 20 x 30 building . Process equipment including reverse osmosis unit, probably a low side cost because additional pre-treatment for cations and oznation most likely required.

If this data is to be used to calibrate the analysis we need to understand why it varies so much. We like to resolve this as soon as we can.

Jim Regg e e Email Prom Jane Williamson To Jim Regg May 17, 2004 As I recall, the main concern that Bob raised concerning expansion outside the original boundaries ofthe EP A approval was in regards to the lower salinities in the disposal zone. Again, you should ask Bob about this, as my involvement with this ended soon after this, and I was no longer following the progress. I'm very surprised the original application of Mar. 28, 2002 was not in the AE02 file.

In further discussions with Dave Goodwin discussing the petrophysical model, he looked further into our earlier discussions about the proper value for m in his model and now thinks 1.6 is reasonable. But we also found that we are just modeling the NaCI and not the full TDS. As you'll see from the enclosed document there is a 7-40 % lowering of the TDS if you values exceed Please only using NaCI.

Alllison Cooke is contact for BP (564-4838); I suggested they submit a DIO for Milne. She had requested a meeting (Wed, 5/19) to provide an overview of MPU disposal injection plans. without knowing the status of the confusion surrounding expansion of AEO 2, I suggested to her that such a meeting may not be necessary (would like to review application first). That may have been premature. Attached is an application from BP dated March 28, 2002, requesting expansion of AEO 2 to include additional lands in conjunction w/MPU development. Also attached is the public notice (was it published?) and supporting info (salinity, email exchanges, etc.). Not sure why this was not acted on - seem to be differing opinions among staff. Regardless, it seems to me that this should be handled by the West team to be consistent with our current work structure. Perhaps one of you should call Allison Cooke at BP to further discuss need for meeting.

The conversation was productive and helpful toward achieving our objectives of efficient planned development for Milne Point. Based upon our discussion during this meeting, please accept this application on behalf of BP Exploration (Alaska) Inc. to amend the Aquifer Exemption Order No. 2 to include additional lands. If you have any questions regarding this application to Amend Aquifer Exemption Order No.2, please do hesitate to contact me (564-5643).

(BP), Milne Point Unit Operator, files this application to amend Aquifer Exemption Order No.2 (AEO-2) for the Milne Point Unit. AEO-2, issued July 8, 1987, exempted freshwater aquifers underlying Milne Point Unit for Class II injection activities pursuant to 20 AAC 25.440. BP requests amendment of AEO-2 to amend the described area in the AEO to coincide with leases that are wholly or partially included in the Milne Point Unit. Milne Point Unit (MPU) currently contains the Schrader Bluff Oil Pool (SBOP), Kuparuk River Oil Pool (KROP) and the Sag River Oil Pool (SGOP). The boundaries of the unit, as well as the several oil pools, have been altered over the past several years. When AEO-2 was issued in 1987, it coincided with the KROP boundaries included within Area Injection Order No. 10, which included the following tracts ofland: Umiat Meridian Township Range Sections T13N R9E 13-14 (all); 23-24 (all) T13N RlOE 1-36 (all) T13N R11E 5-8 (all); 15-22 (all); 29-32 (all) BP requests amendment of AEO-2 to amend the described area in the AEO to coincide with leases that are wholly or partially included in the Milne Point Unit. As of the date of this application, MPU leases are described as follows: Umiat Meridian Township Range Sections T12N RlOE 1-2 (all); 11-12 (all) T12N R11E 1-12 (all) · e T13N R9E 1 (all); 2 (N Y2, SE %); 11 (NE %); 12-14 (all); 23-24 (all) T13N RlOE 1-36 (all) T13N RllE 5-8 (all); 17-20 (all); 27-34 (all) T14N R9E 21-15 (all); 22-27 (all); 34-36 (all) T14N RlOE 15-22 (all); 27-35 (all) Amendment of AEO-2 to designate the freshwater aquifer in MPU as exempt is appropriate under 20 AAC 25.440(a)(1)(B). The aquifer (sometimes known as the Prince Creek Aquifer) does not currently serve as a source of drinking water, and it cannot now, and will not in the future serve as a source of drinking water, because it is situated at a depth or location that makes recovery of water for drinking water purposes economically or technologically impractical. The oil field camps produce water at an average cost of about 2 cent/gallon using surface water sources. These systems usually require filtration, flocculation and chemical treatment prior to storage. The small amount of system backwash is disposed of by flushing back to the surface. Economically, this compares with Conoco's Milne Point Unit experience in 1985 to use saline subsurface water as a source for feeding and operating a reverse osmosis (RO) process. Their system cost $10 MM and was so expensive, labor intensive and troublesome to keep going that it was abandoned. They chose to purchase potable water at 3 cent/gallon until a surface system was installed. Additionally, ARCO reported to the EPA via letter in July 1984 that subsurface waters in their Kuparuk River Unit were not economically viable drinking water sources because a single source well and accessories would cost $2 MM more than using surface waters. Also, the sodium content was four times greater than acceptable limits and cleanup of the gassy-hydrocarbon saline waters would have been more expensive than using surface waters. The attached Exhibit #1 details comparative costs for installing & operating surface and subsurface systems. A 20,000 gallon per day plant using surface water could be installed for about $700,000 and might operate for 1.5-2.0 cents/gallon. A system using subsurface waters would cost about $3.4 MM and lifting-disposal costs for operating the wells alone would run 2 · e 1.5-2.0 cents/gallon of potable water. The additional RO vessel(s) and process equipment would thus make this type of system substantially more expensive and uneconomic. BP requests that the Commission provide appropriate notice and opportunity for a public hearing in accordance with 20 AAC 25.440(b), as well as opportunity for review by the United States Environmental Protection Agency under 20 AAC 25.440(d) and 40 CFR 144.7(b)(3).
