TOTAL Caribou 09-11 #1 Overview and Timetable TOTAL E&P USA, Inc. plans to drill an exploratory 'well, the Caribou 09-11 #1, in NPRA this winter. Caribou 09-11 # 1 will be located approximately 54 miles west of the village of Nuiqsut. The well will be drilled from a temporary ice pad with spudding estimated to occur approximately February 25, 2004. The well is planned as a straight hole. The well will be accessible via aircraft to Inigok, then ice road across the ITozen tundra and via rolligon from Meltwater 2P Pad. A map showing details of the ice road route and rolligon route as well as the drilling location are enclosed in this application. Ice road and pad construction will begin as soon as the necessary permits and approvals are available and weather conditions allow. It is planned that the Caribou 09-11 #1 ice road will extend approximately ~4miles to the west ITom the north-south ice road that currently connects Inigok and the C"anbou 26-11 #1 drilling location. Construction of the ice road and ice pad will occur while Caribou 26-11 #1 is being drilled. Upon completion of the ice drilling pad and the drilling of Caribou 26-11 #1, Nabors' Rig #14-E will be moved to the Caribou 09-11 #1 wellsite. The rig will be supported with personnel and light supplies flown into Inigok and transported to the wellsite via the ice road. Heavy supplies and equipment will be brought overland via rolligon. ~ V{ ell testing may be perf0l'!!!t::d. Current plans are to plug and abandon the well prior to the end of the 200312004 winter drilling season; however, the well may be temporarily shut in and secured if well evaluation cannot be completed prior to the closing of tundra travel in the spring of 2004. If the well proves to be a dry hole, it will be plugged and abandoned at the end of this field season. If the well is to be tested, it will be completed, a tree installed and the rig released. If there is time for testing, the well will be tested and, if promising, shut in until a following winter season. If there is insufficient time for testing, the well will be shut in and tested during a subsequent winter season. In either case, if the well test is insufficiently encouraging, the well will be plugged and abandoned without a rig at the conclusion of testing. - ....",. .... ...,"-' ~-"-"----'-~"-- ~,......,,'> Operational Considerations Permafrost Based on offset wells, permafrost is assumed to be present from the surface to approximately 600'. The permafrost is not expected to present any drilling difficulties as neither thawing nor gas hydrate problems were encountered in any of the offset wells. Surface Casing Shoe Depth The 3,019'RT setting depth for the 9-5/8" surface casing is located in the bottom 200' of the Lower Nanushuk sands, just above the Torok shale." The casing shoe will be set in a . . competent shale within the Lower Nanushuk in order to yield a strong shoe test, yet leave some of the Nanushuk sand exposed between the casing shoe and the Torok shale for later annular injection of waste drilling fluids. , Lost Circulation and Sloughing Shales Some of the offsetting wells encountered sloughing shales below the HRZ and lost circulation in and near their target horizons. The Caribou 09-11 #1 casing and mud programs have been designed to take these potential problems into account. While the preferred well design presented here calls for a long string of 7" casing to be set at TD, an alternate well design is included in this Application wherein intermediate casing is set just above the target horizon to isolate sloughing shales and the mud weight cut to avoid lost circulation in the target interval. When TD is reached, the target interval will be evaluated as an open hole or, ifhole conditions dictate, cased with a production liner. Pressures Anticipated pore pressures are derived primarily from the histories of offsetting wells. These wells, referenced in the Pressure section of this application, were all drilled in the past few years and are well-documented. As shown on the attached pore pressure plot and maximum anticipated surface pressure (MASP) calculations, the highest expected V" pressure is at 9,400' and is 5,817 psi (11.9 ppg EMW) and will result in a maximum pressure at the surface, with a full column of gas, of 1,881 psi (see enclosed Maximum Anticipated Surface Pressure calculations). A 5,000 psi WP BOP and wellhead system will therefore be used on this well. Abnormally pressured shallow gas is not anticipated. The pore pressure prediction section of this application contains an evaluation of the risk of drilling high-pressure zones as potentially recognized after seismic processing. An abnormal pore pressure gradient starts near the top of the HRZ (~8,021' SS) that may explain their tendency to slough. Drilling Within Annular Blowout Preventer Limitations As shown in the attached pore pressure prediction study, the highest pressure expected above the surface casing setting depth (8.9 ppg equivalent mud weight at 3,019' TVD less a 0.11 psi/ft gas gradient) is 1,065 psi which is within the 2,000 psi working pressure rating of the diverter. Below the surface casing, BOPs will be used in lieu of a diverter. Again, the MASP calculations show that all anticipated surface pressures are well below the 5,000 psi working pressure rating ofthe annular preventer. BOP System and BOPE Testing The BOP system on Nabors Rig #14-E is rated at 5,000 psi working pressure and is described in the BOPE section of this application. Since the calculated maximum anticipated working pressure (at the surface) in this well is 1,881 psi, it is planned to routinely test all BOPE to 80% of its rated working pressure (i.e., 4,000 psi). . . The BOP system will be tested initially (before spudding the well) and weekly thereafter to a low pressure of 200 psi and a high pressure of 4,000 psi (80% of rated working pressure). Straight Hole The Caribou 09-11 # 1 will be drilled as a straight hole.' Directional control will be monitored via MWD in all hole sections. H2S None of the offsetting wells encountered measurable amounts of H2S in the intervals to be drilled at Caribou and it is not expected that Caribou 09-11 #1 will encounter any. However, the drilling rig will be wired with operating sensors, enhanced by additional sensors tied into the mud logging system, to continuously monitor for the presence of . H2S. Also, the wellhead and tree will be trimmed for H2S service. Drilling Waste Handling Waste drilling mud from the well will be pumped into subsurface formations at ~/ approximately 3,000'DF via the 9-5/8" surface casing X 7" intermediate casing annulus. Cuttings will be hauled to an approved disposal facility for processing and disposal. Prior to on-site disposal or hauling, mud and cuttings will be temporarily stored in a bermed storage cell on the ice pad or in appropriate containers. Diagrams are included with this application that show the ice pad layouts with the proposed location of the storage cell. Additional Information Additional information on operations such as formation tops, logging, mud logging, etc. . can be found on the attached Caribou 09-11 #1 Well Prognosis. Certified Location Plat An as-built location plat, certified by a Registered Land Surveyor, will be submitted shortly after construction of the drilling location is completed and the conductor set.

The base of the permafrost will be reached within the middle of the conglomerate. Pore pressure prediction from seismic (Brilliant Geoscience, Inc., August 2003) indicates a possible anomalous pressure increase below the./ base of the permafrost (approximately 1000 feet below MSL). This shallow pressure increase has been noted in the local well control, and drilling mud weights ranged between 10 and 10.5 ppg./ ,/ Within the Nanushuk topset sands, isolated gas filled sand bodies may be present. Our pore pre~sure prediction does not indicate a Nanushuk over-pressured sand at our location, but the possibility cannot be ruled out. The well is expected to be normal pressured from the Nanushuk to near the top of the HRZ Shale. Our pore pressure prediction indicates an increase in pressure from the top HRZ until TD. This over-pressured section ,," should have pressures of approximately 0.52 psi/ft. Being slightly overpressured, the shale section has a tendency to wash out and shows up on caliper logs throughout the North Slope. In particular, Conoco-Phillips has had severe problems with the MFS shale section, located directly on top of the primary objective. The MFS will potentially cave in and grab drill pipe. Having to set intermediate pipe within the Valanginian shale is a possibility. TIME FORMATION DEPTH (msec.)

TOTAL E&P USA, Inc. Pressure Calculations and Drilling Area Risks Caribou 09-11 #1 Maximum Anticipated Surface Pressure: The maximum anticipated surface pressure (MASP) for this well will be the lesser of the formation pore pressure (less a full gas column to the surface) at TD or the formation fracture pressure at the last casing shoe (less a full gas column to the surface). Based on the attached study "Pre-Drill Seismic Pore Pressure Prediction For Location #6", the highest formation pressure expected in the final hole section is 5,817 psi at a depth of approximately 9,400' TVD (or 0.619 psi/ft).!/Documented fracture gradient data for this area indicates that the fracture gradient at 3,019'TVD (the 9-5/8" surface casing shoe) is a minimum of 0.733 psi/ft (14.1 ppg). Complete evacuation of the wellbore, except for a 0.11 psi/ft gas gradient, is assumed. 8-112" hole section MASP (pore pressure) MASP (fm breakdown) (9,400 ft)(0.619 - 0.11) = 4,785 psi (3,019 ft)(0.733 - 0.11) = 1,881 psi.¡ Therefore, MASP in the 8-112" open hole section is 1,881 psi and the 5,000 psi BOPE system to be used will be adequate. Well Proximity Risk: The nearest wellbore to that of the Caribou 09-11 #1 is the Caribou 26-11 #1 test well located approximately 3.5 miles to the northwest. There are therefore no nearby wellbore proximity risks. Drillin2 Area Risks: See attached Drilling Hazard Summary. Disposal of Muds and Cuttin2s: Drill cuttings will be stored in bermed holding cells or appropriate containers on the ice pad and hauled to an established processing facility in one of the oil fields to the east at the conclusion of drilling operations at Caribou. Excess drilling mud will be hauled to an existing field to the east for disposal until the 7" casing is set, then the excess mud will be ',. disposed of by being injected down the 9-5/8" x 7" annulus. .¡ .'

Production casing to provide hole stability and pressure containment for production testing operations. It also provides an annulus down which to inject waste mud. 7" 9,669' RT, MD .1 . Formation Intee:ritv Test (FIT) and Leak-Off Test (LOT) Procedures Note that the terms used in the procedures and the spreadsheet ofFITILOT results are defined as follows: · Formation Integrity Test (FIT) - Formation is tested to a pre-determined equivalent mud weight. · Leak-Off Test (LOT) - Pressure is exerted against the formation until fluid begins to discernibly pump away. Pressure at which this first occurs is the leak-off point. · LOT Limit - 16.0 ppg EMW for all surface casing shoe tests; determined from previous experience with formation breakdown problems by attempting higher leak-offs. · Open Hole LOTs (OH LOTs)- Leak-off tests performed with open hole from the casing shoe to some point above the target reservoir. Generally done when leak-off is required but could not be achieved just below the casing shoe; or where weaker formations are suspected above the target reservoir but below the casing shoe, and assurance is required of being able to achieve estimated mud weight. Procedure for FIT: 1. Drill 20' of new hole below the casing shoe. 2. Circulate the hole to establish a uniform mud density throughout the system. P/U into the shoe. 3. Close the blowout preventer (ram or annular). 4. Pump down the drill stem at 1/4 to 1/2 bpm. 5. On a graph with the recent casing test already shown, plot the fluid pumped (volume or strokes) vs. drillpipe pressure until appropriate surface pressure is achieved for FIT at shoe. 6. Shut down at required surface pressure. Hold for a minimum 10 minutes or until the pressure stabilizes. Record time vs. pressure in I-minute intervals. 7. Bleed the pressure off and record the fluid volume recovered. The pre-determined surface pressure for each formation integrity test is based on achieving an EMW at least 1.0 ppg higher than the estimated reservoir pressure, and allowing for an appropriate amount of kick tolerance in case well control measures are required. Formation integrity tests are conducted on all casing shoes with the exception of some surface casing situations. Where annular pumping will be done on a well, the formation below the surface shoe is taken to leak-off. This ensures that future disposal fluids can pumped away without risk of damage to the surface shoe. If two attempts at establishing leak-off at the shoe are unsuccessful (using 16.0 ppg EMW LOT limit per definition above), then an open-hole LOT is performed. Where required, the LOT is performed in the same fashion as the formation integrity test. Instead of stopping at a pre-determined point, surface pressure is increased until the formation begins to take fluid; at this point the pressure will continue to rise, but at a slower rate. The system is shut in and pressure monitored as with an FIT. . . Pre-Drill Seismic Pore Pressure Prediction for Location #6 Alaska State Plane 5 X=602,423 Y=5,904,446 August 27, 2003 Summary Pore pressures likely to be encountered at the proposed #6 well location are predicted using the seismic velocity data. The normal compaction trend and translation model are derived from the Hottman- Johnson methodology and utilize local well control (Hunter A, North Inigok #1, Inigok #1). The compaction trend and translation model were applied to velocities from 2D seismic data through the well location to predict pore and fracture pressures. The data show possible anomalous pressure increases at approximately 1000 feet below MSL (below the'" base of permafrost) and at 7100 feet below MSL near the top of the HRZ. The shallow predicted pore pressure increase has also been noted in the local well control (drilled with' 10-10.5 lb./gal mud weights). The HRZ anomaly seems to be consistent with higher pore pressures and accompanying mud weights as seen in the local well control, although the magnitude of the predicted pore pressure in the wells exceeds the pressure observed in the wells, suggesting that the predicted pore pressures associated with the HRZ might be /' somewhat exaggerated. Seismic Processing The precision of the pore pressure prediction is directly related to the quality of the seismic velocity field. The velocities used for pressure prediction were generated from Total's proprietary Deltastack software. This software produces an accurate, continuous velocity analysis (every cdp and each time sample) and outputs both VRMS and DIX (interval velocity) sections. The Dix velocities were smoothed to minimize instability in the velocity field which could result from variation in CDP fold or noise. Pressure Prediction Procedure Brilliant Geoscience Inc. of Dallas utilized PPFG software (developed by ARCa Exploration and Production Technology) to calculate the predicted pore pressures and fracture pressures. The Hunter A, North Inigok #1 and Inigok #1 gamma ray and sonic logs were used to establish a local normal compaction trend in the shale intervals. Second order polynomial functions were used to translate the ~DT (difference between seismic ITT and DT from the compaction trend) to pore pressure gradients. Where PPG = Co + C1 *( ~(~T)) + C2* (~( ~T))**2 . . In this area, the coefficients are Co = .465; C1 = .0062; C2 = 1.34 e-5 Fracture gradients were calculated using the Eaton methodology. Overburden pressure, calculated pore pressure gradient profiles, and Poisson's Ratio profiles are the inputs. Seismic Pore Pressure Prediction Pore pressure gradients were predicted along a 2D seismic line (Line 304 in Fig. 1 ) through Location #6. Pressure gradient prediction displays are provided in depth with the depth stretched seismic wiggle trace overlay (Fig.2). The higher predicted mud weights (pore pressure gradients) are represented by the warmer colors as indicated on the scale on the right hand side ofthe display. Two potential high pressure zones were observed. An increase in predicted pore pressure is observed starting at approximately 1000 feet below MSL (Fig.3.) In order to capture the shallow part of the low velocity anomalies (which translate to high PPG values), Brilliant Geoscience Inc. started the calculation from 1000 feet. This is not their standard practice because the number of seismic traces available for the velocity analysis is lower and the velocity derived from seismic data is subject to noise in this shallow depth range. Even so, it should be noted that the seismic data also predicts an increase in pore pressure in the same interval in the North Inigok #1, Hunter A, and Inigok #1 wells and this zone was drilled with 10-10.5 lb/gal mud weights in these wells ( Figs. 4-6). An increase in pore pressure is also predicted near the top of the HRZ horizon at approximately 7100 ft below MSL (Fig.3). Mud weights used to drill this zone in the North Inigok #1, Hunter A, and Inigok #1 support this observation, although the magnitude of the predicted pore pressure increase from the seismic data at these wells (in lbs/gal equivalent mud weight) is larger than the mud weights observed in the wells. Conclusions 1. There is an apparent increase in pore pressure at 1000' below MSL, below the" base of the permafrost. . . 2. There are similar anomalies in this zone predicted by the seismic at the North Inigok # 1, Hunter A , and Inigok # 1 and their presence is supported by the mud weights used in the wells. 3. There is an increase in predicted pore pressure near the top ofthe HRZ at 7100 ft . below MSL. 4. A moderate increase in pore pressure was seen at the top of the HRZ in the North Inigok, Inigok and Hunter A wells. This zone may have a lithology element in addition to a compaction disequilibrium. because the seismic velocities predict a higher pore pressure than was apparently seen in the wells. 5. The normal compaction trend observed in the North Inigok, Inigok, and Hunter A wells is a good match for the seismic derived normal compaction trend.

Caribou Drilling Program NPRA Alaska 2003-2004 Drilling Season . o TOTAL Caribou 09-11 #1 Drilling Fluid Program The TOTAL Caribou 09-11 #1 will be drilled ftom surface to TD using a low-solids, non-dispersed, inhibited 6% KCI/polymer mud system. The well will be spudded using a 10.0 ppg high-viscosity spud mud to aid in cleaning the shallow portion of the hole where surficial gravels are anticipated. After setting the 9-5/8" surface casing at approximately 3,019', the mud system will be treated to lower the density, solids content, viscosity and otherwise adjusted to drill the remainder of the hole with a high quality mud suitable for handling the potential problems of sloughing shales and/or lost circulation. It is not anticipated that any wholesale change-outs of the mud system will be performed at any point because disposal of the old mud system could be problematic. Planned drilling fluid properties are as follow: Interval (FtT) ~VV Surf - 3000' 10.0 - 10.5 3000'-7000' 9.5 -10.5 7000'-TD' 10.0 -12.5 Vis 75 - 95 45 - 55 45 - 55 PV 25 - 30 15 - 20 15 - 25 YP 35 - 45 10 - 20 15 - 25 API VVL 5 -15 5-7 3-5 Cuttings will be retained in a bermed cell on the ice pad or in appropriate containers and later hauled to one of the established fields to the east for processing and disposal. However, waste drilling fluid will be retained in liquid form on location until the 9-5/8" x 7" annulus becomes available, whereupon the waste mud will be injected down the annulus. Since the most common and most significant hole problems experienced in the offsetting wells were those of lost circulation and sloughing shales, adequate supplies of LCM and shale inhibitors will kept on location. Also, an adequate barite supply will be maintained to weight up the mud system in response to any need to control unanticipated pressure. Finally, while H2S is not anticipated in this well, the remoteness of the location dictates that a supply ofH2S sequestering agents be maintained on location.

In comparison with site 2, the seismic reflectors near the top of the Nanushuk sands are slightly stronger at site 6 than site 2.
