General P &A plan
1. Ensure regulatory compliance training is complete and key personnel are fully aware of
responsibilities.
2. Pick up and stand back enough 5" drill pipe and HWDP.
3. Notify the AOGCC of intent to commence operations and plans to perform BOP test and
drills.
4. Install 21 %" 5000 psi BOPS according to Nabors BOP operations manual.
5. Take on water based mud for drilling out cement plugs and bridge plugs inside the 9-
5/8" casing.
6. Test BOPS to 4000 psi.
7. PU 8 -1/2" Cleanout BHA, Test the BHA below the rotary table. Drillout the surface
cement plug at 0 -250'. Drillout the composite bridge plug at 250' MD. Circulate out
debris.
8. Pressure test the 9 -5/8" casing to 3500 psi to verify casing integrity.
9. Run to 3900' MD and tag the cement plug. Drillout the cement plug and the bridge plug
set at 3,995'. Circulate out the cement cuttings and debris using Hi -Vis sweeps.
10. Drill through cement plug at the 9 -5/8" casing shoe and approximately 20' of new
formation. Pump sweeps as required to ensure hole is clean and POH to surface. LOT
test was done on the original Sak River -1 well, the LOT value was 13.0 ppg. Prepare to
set a contingency cement kickoff plug if not able to sidetrack from existing cement
below the casing shoe.
At this point the Sak River #1 will be considered P &A -ed. 1 A

RE: Sundry Application to P &A
Brooks Range Petroleum Corp.: Sak River #1 (PTD # 206 -167)
Dear Mr. Seamount,
Brooks Range Petroleum Corporation hereby submits an application to P &A the Sak River #1 well below the 9 -5/8"
casing shoe. The Sak River # 1 was drilled and later suspended in 2007.
The suspension of the Sak River #1 was accomplished using four cement plugs as indicated on the attached wellbore
diagram.. The wellhead was left intact on the well.
As a part 2010 winter drilling program the well will be sidetracked below the surface casing and a new exploration
well Sak River # lA will be drilled to evaluate the Kuparuk reservoir. An application for permit to drill was
submitted separately.
Please find attached information as required by 20 AAC 25.005 (a) and (c) for your review. Pertinent information
attached to this application includes the following:
1) Form 10 -403 Application for Sundry Approvals
2) A plat showing the surface location of the well
3) Proposed general P &A program
4) Current wellbore diagram
5) Proposed wellbore diagram after P &A
6) Diagrams and descriptions of the BOP equipment to be used
If you have any questions or require additional information, please contact me at (907) 865 -5840 or Natasha
Sachivichik at (907) 575 -7156.

RE: Corrected Well Completion Form 10-407
Brooks Range Petroleum Corporation: Sak River #1(PTD 20fr167)
Attached, you will find the corrected 10-407 form for the Sak River #1 well drilled in March 2007. While
researching for an upcoming well, it was noticed that some of the information on the original form filed
in May 2007 was inaccurate. Please note the changes to sections 3(Address), 4a & b(TD tocation), 6
(Date Spudded) and section 28 (J-4 TVD depth). All other documents were sent in with original well
completion report in May 2007.
If you have any questions or require additional information, please contact me at 907-859-5811.
We apologize for this oversight.

April 9, 2007: I traveled to Nabors Rig 27E at Brooks Range Petroleum's Sak
River #1 exploratory well site to witness the pressure test of a cement retainer ,/
plug for suspension of this wetl.
Dave Sanders was the Brooks Range / Nabors representative for the test today.
Mr. Sanders informed me that the retainer was set at 3,950' MD and approx. 38
BBLS of class G cement was squeezed through the retainer and approx. 4 BBLS
of the same type cement was pumped on top of the retainer. On my arrival the
well bore was pressured up to 1000 PSI and held for 30 minutes with no ,/
significant pressure loss recorded.

RE: Sundry Application to Suspend
Brooks Range Petroleum Corp.: Sak River #1(PTD # 206-167)
Dear Mr. Norman,
Brooks Range Petroleum Corporation proposes to suspend its Sak River #1 well. While
no economically significant hydrocarbons were found in this wellbore, Brooks Range
wishes to leave the well in a condition to re-enter it and drill a sidetrack from it at a future
date following the evaluation of logs and seismic data recently obtained..
There being no hydrocarbon-bearing intervals requiring isolation per AOGCC
regulations, two open-hole cement plugs are proposed, one across the Kuparuk-LCU-
Miluveach interval and one across the Sag-Shublik-Ivishak interval as indicated on the
enclosed wellbore schematic. The wireline and mud logs from this well have been
reviewed with your staff for their concurrence on the cemented intervals and our plan to
abandon them.
The suspension of the Sak River #1 will be accomplished using four cement plugs as
indicated on the attached wellbore diagram and procedure. The wellhead will be left
intact on the well. Site cleanup and AOGCC approval of site closure will be scheduled
for next summer.
If you have any questions or require additional information, please contact me at 339-
9965 or Bill Penrose at 258-3446.
S incerely,

Bill,
I have examined the sundry. Although the plan is to retain the well for possible
future sidetrack, the work will have effectively plugged the well only requiring the
wellhead to be cutoff if future plans do not materialize.
I will send a copy of the work plan to the Inspectors. As noted in the procedure,
please call for the tag of the Kuparuk plug and retainer/surface shoe squeeze.
Good luck with the operations. Call or message with any questions.

Bill,
Sorry it has taken a bit to get back to you. Please see Steve's note below. I
agree with your decision to place a plug across the Kuparuk interval. In addition
it is appropriate as Steve notes to place a plug across the Ivishak. From the
depths Steve gives, each plug is about the same length. Provided the deep plug
goes in without problems, it will not be necessary to tag it.
With regard to the Kuparuk plug, there is a little difference in the proposed
depths, although the overall interval is roughly the same length. You might check
with Steve on his "log" call. Since this plug is being set off bottom, it will
need to be tagged.
You didn't mention the next plug at the surface shoe. I presurcie it will be via a
retainer.
If the well is to be retained for sidetrack, then a kill string to below the
permafrost with freeze protection should be placed with a BPV left in the tubing
hanger.
If the well is to be abandoned, then a 150' surface plug with cutoff at least 3'
below original grade.
Thanks Bill, please call or message with any questions. •

Tom,
Upon review of the mud log and well log from Sak River No. 1, I agree that there
are no hydrocarbon shows in the wellbore. I also agree with the concept of
isolating the more prominent, porous intervals from one another. So, in addition
to all requirements of 20 AAC 25.112, I recommend placing additinnal open hole
cement plugs across the Sag River / Shublik / Ivishak interval from 12,700 to
13110 feet MD and across the Kuparuk~"interval from 10,400 to 10,850 feet MD.
Please let me know if I can help further.

Tom and Steve,
We'll be P&A-ing BRPC's Sak River #1 as there were no hydrocarbons found. We're
currently logging - should take only a day or so as we're only running a dipole
sonic and VSP. Meanwhile, here are the mud log (in three files) and the composite
LWD log for you to examine. I've also included the formation tops as encountered.
We see no hydrocarbon shows. However, due to the length of the open hole, a
strategically placed open-hole plug is probably called for. We suggest a plug
across the Kuparuk interval. Th'is would completely isolate the Kuparuk as well as
isolating the deeper Ivishak below the overlying shales between it and the
Kuparuk. The cement plug would be 500' in length, extending from 8,400' MD to
8,900' MD. In addition to the open-hole plug we would of course install the
required plug at the surface casing shoe and one at the surface.
While we're currently pursuing the P&A route right now due to time constraints,
you should be aware that BRPC is also considering sidetracking this well (in
which case you'l1 receive an app for PTD) or leaving the well suspended to do the
sidetrack next year (in which case the P&A sundry would be changed to a Suspend
sundry).
Meanwhile, would you please look over the logs and this plan and let me know if
it looks acceptable to the Commission?

Tom,
Yesterday, March 29, Brooks Range Petroleum Corporation submitted an Application for Sundry Approval to
change their approved plan to run 7" casing from surFace to TD to a plan to set the 7" as a liner, hung off in the
9-5/8" surface casing. Events over the past 24 hours have resulted in this no longer being the desired option.
Please stop processing the Sundry Application as Brooks Range would now prefer to stay with the original plan
for 7" casing from surface to TD if it is run at all.
Thanks and regards,

RE: Proposed Casing Program Change
Brooks Range Petroleum Corp.: Sak River #1(PTD # 206-167)
Dear Mr. Norman,
Brooks Range Petroleum Corporation hereby applies for Sundry Approval to modify the
casing program in the Sak River #1. Currently the permitted well plan calls for a full
string of 7" production casing to be set from the surface to the well's proposed TD of
12,978' MD. Brooks Range proposes to replace the full casing string with a production
liner consisting of the same specification of 7" pipe hung off on a liner hanger in the 9-
5/8" casing at a depth of approximately 3,700' MD (±300' above the 9-5/8" surface
casing shoe) and extending to the well's TD.
Setting a liner will allow Brooks Range to sidetrack the well in the 9-5/8" casing above
the liner hanger to drill an 8-1/2" delineation hole. An Application for Permit to Drill the
delineation sidetrack is being prepared.
Attached please find a Form 10-403 Application for Sundry Approval for this change. If
you have any questions or require additional information, please contact me at 339-9965
or Bill Penrose at 258-3446.

Hi Bill,
As we discussed, regulation 20 AAC 25.030 (f) applies. The regulation
states, "(f) Except for through-tubing drilling, a formation integrity
test must be performed if BOPE is installed on a casing. The test must
be performed to a predetermined equivalent mud weight, leak-off, or
fracture pressure as specified in the application for the Permit to
Drill. The test must be conducted after drilling out of the casing shoe
into at least 20 feet but not more than 50 feet of new formation. The
test results must demonstrate that the integrity of the casing shoe is
sufficient to contain anticipated wellbore pressures identified in the
application for the Permit to Drill. The test procedure followed and the
data from the test and any subsequent tests of the formation must be
recorded as required by 20 AAC 25.070(1)

20+aac+25o212E070o27%5D/doc/%7B@1%7D?firsthit>
." Either a LOT or FIT is acceptable, although I believe the plan in
the permit did state LOT.
With regard to BOP training, the citation is 20 AAC 25.527 (d). The
regulation states, "(d) A toolpusher, driller or functional equivalent,
or person-in-charge who participates in drilling operations or in
workover operations involving the installation or removal of jointed
tubulars must have received formal well control training sufficient to
ensure the competent performance of the person's well control duties.
The commission will recognize training and certification in a drilling
well control curriculum by any of the following entities as meeting the
requirements of this subsection:
<>(1) L7nited States Department of the Interior, Minerals Management
Service;
(2) International Association of Drilling Contractors;
(3) International Well Control Forum;
<> (4) International Alliance for Well Control.
Hope this helps. Call or message with any questions.

RE: BRPC Sak R. # 1 LOT and reg citations

This is to let you know of a deviation from the well plan for the
Brooks Range Sak River #1 well. We had planned to conduct a leak-off
test just below the shoe of the surface casing (4,025' MD, 3,464' TVD)
in this well, but the drilling supervisor forgot and ran an FIT
instead (FIT = 12.6 ppg EMW), then commenced drilling ahead. Upon
discovering the oversight, drilling was ordered stopped at 5,100' MD,
4,323' TVD and a leak-off test conducted. Leak-off occurred at 600 psi
' with 9.7 ppg mud in the hole. Assuming leak-off occurred at the shoe,
a frac gradient there of 13.0 ppg EMW is indicated. At the worst case,
' leak-off at the bit, the indicated frac gradient is 12.4 ppg EMW.
Since the earlier FIT at the shoe held at 12.6 ppg EMw, it appears the
LOT probably does indicate a shoe leak-off.
On the strength of this, we have resumed drilling. Please let me know
if the Commission wants us to do otherwise. I'll be on my cell phone
(250-3113).

Dear Mr. Winegarner:
Enclosed is the approved application for permit to drill the above referenced
exploration well.
This permit to drill does not exempt you from obtaining additional permits or
approvals required by law from other governmental agencies, and does not
authorize conducting drilling operations until all other required permits and
approvals have been issued. In addition, the Commission reserves the right to
withdraw the permit in the event it was erroneously issued. A weekly status
report is required from the time the well is spudded until it is suspended or
plugged and abandoned. The report should be a generalized synopsis of the
week's activities and is exclusively for the Commission's internal use.
Please note the following:
1. All dry ditch sample sets submitted to the Commission must be in no
greater than 30' sample intervals from below the permafrost or from
where samples are first caught and 10' sample intervals through target
zones.
2. Well testing operations require separate Commission approval. Prior to
this well being tested, those plans most be submitted to the Commission
via Form 10-403.
..
~ Permit No. 206-167 ~ ~
Page 2 of 2
January 19, 2007
Operations must be conducted in accordance with AS 31.05 and Title 20,
Chapter 25 of the Alaska Administrative Code unless the Commission
speci~cally authorizes a variance. Failure to comply with an applicable
provision of AS 31.05, Title 20, Chapter 25 of the Alaska Administrative Code,
or a Commission order, or the terms and conditions of this permit may result
in the revocation or suspension of the permit. Please provide at least twenty-
four (24) hours notice for a representative of the Commission to witness any
required test. Contact the Commission's petroleum ~eld inspector at (907) 659-
3607 (pager).
Sincerely,
Dan T. Seamount

1 Introduction
Sak River Well 1 will be drilled from an ice pad near Gwydyr Bay less than 1000' from
the coast line. The well will be directionally drilled to the northeast on a 45.8 degree
azimuth to reach target zones 5,259' from the surface location. To accomplish this, the
well will be kicked off at 500' ~from surface, angle built to 37.4 degrees and tangent held
to a total measured depth of 12,978' '(11,290' ND): The "S" shaped well is dropped to
vertical at 10,378' MD (8,690' ND) prior to penetrating the Kuparuk C sand. The lower
2,600' MD of the wellbore will then be drilled vertical through the Kuparuk, Kingak and
Ivishak formations. ~
Surface location will be located in the northeast corner of Section 1, T12N, R12E and
bottomhole location will be in Section 36, ~13N, R12E. Projected commencement of the
drilling operation is mid January 2007.
After drilling to total depth and evaluating the hole, the well will be abandoned or 7"
production casing set and the well production tested.
Nabors Rig 16E, a 2000 HP Dreco Slingshot design, will be used to drill the well.

2.4 OFFSET lNFORMAT/ON
Twenty exploration weils drilied befinreen 1969 and 2000 were reviewed. The primary
source of data was the Alaskan Oil & Gas Conservation Commission website. Half of
the wells were within 5 miles of the SR1 location. The remainder consisted mainly of
delineation wells in the Northstar Field (7 miles to NE) and wells drilled to the Midnight
Sun pool on the northeast side of the Prudhoe Bay Unit (8 miles to the SE). Additional
wells on PBU Pad S have been examined.
A detailed mechanical cross section was prepared for these wells and is included in the
Appendix. Due to the extent of the information, discussion of the details of all the wells
is beyond the scope of this report; however, a review of this data is available if needed.
Intermediate casing was not always set and when set, was used primarily for testing
either the Kuparuk or Ivishak. Generally the wells spent considerable time cutting
conventional cores which sometimes doubled the amount of time required to reach TD.
Comparatively speaking, wells reviewed encountered fewer drilling problems that
normally seen in a review of this type in other areas.
The closest offset well to SR1 is the Cities Service Gwydyr Bay State A-1 drilled in 1974
to a depth of 12210' MD with maximum deviation of 29 degrees. It was the most
problematic well reviewed in the study. Problems occurred when setting 13 3/8" casing
~ at 2681' due to a centralizer coming apart and a leak in the wellhead. A LSND mud
system was used; however, solids control was very poor and solids concentrations were
abnormally high in the mud. File notes documented that the rig ran out of fresh water
make up fluid for several days which aggravated the solids problem in the mud.
Stuck pipe problems followed by hole pack off and mud losses occurred in the Kuparuk.
After nine days of fishing, drilling resumed and the well was drilled through the Kingak
shale to 12,005' with 10.4 ppg. The pipe stuck on a trip in the hole and the drill pipe
parted while jarring. After recovering the fish, 9 5/8" casing was set.
Although drilling performance was poor for this well due to poor hole conditions, shale
instability and resulting breakout was probably not the cause of the problem. The open
hole was exposed to a very poor mud system for an excessive amount of time. Very
poor drilling practices were followed. Additionally, the rig was a kelly type rig and unable
to efficiently handle the hole problems when compared to today's top drive equipped
rigs.
2.3 PRUDHOE BAY UNIT - MIDNIGHT SUN POOL
The Midnight Sun Oil pool was discovered by BP in 1997 with their Sam #1 we(I (later re
named PBU E-100. With 4441' MD of 9 5/8" surface casing, Sam 1 was drilled at 55
degrees to 12,906' with 10.4 ppg 3% KCL LSND mud where 7" casing was set in 8'/2"
hole in the top of the Sag River. Kingak shale was drilled without problems with 10.4
~ ppg mud. After setting casing, the well was drilled to 13282' where a 4'/2° production

liner was set across the Ivishak. Overall, from spud to TD, the well averaged 458 feet
per day which includes 6 days of logging at the 7" casing point.
Five additional wells were drilled to develop Midnight Sun, three Kuparuk producers and
two Kuparuk water injectors.
E-101 was then drilled to 13,618' MD at 66 degrees with 9 5/8" surface casing set at
6,370' MD (4,558' TVD). 7" production casing was set at TD in a 8'/Z" hole and 10.2 ppg
mud. Spud to TD was 21 days.
E-102 was then drilled to 10,315' MD at 43 degrees with 10 3/" surface casing set at
4,407' MD. 7 5/8" production casing was set at TD in a 9 7/8" hole and 10.3 ppg mud.
Spud to TD was 11 days.
E-103 was drilled to 12,240' as a horizontal Kuparuk injector in 18 days.
E-104 was drilled to 12,384' MD as a Kuparuk injection well. Maximum angle was 58
degrees. After setting 9 5/8" surface at 5013' MD, 8 3/" hole was drilled to TD where 7"
casing was run to bottom. Spud to TD took 9 days.
As can be concluded from the above information, BP conducted a very successful,
~ highly efficient drilling campaign at Midnight Sun.
2.4 NORTHSTAR
Northstar Field was discovered in 1983 with the Amerada Hess - Sea! Island A-1. Five
delineation wells were drilled by Amerada and Shell during 1984-1985. Actual field
development began in early 2001 when BP drilled Northstar 27 from the newly
constructed d~illing island. From 2001 to early 2004, BP drilled 23 wells high angle
directional wells to develop the field.
All of the development wells set 13 3/8" surface casing at around 3,603' MD (3,224'
ND). The first three wells drilled through the Kingak shale and set 9 5/8" intermediate
at approximately 10,800' ND in 11.3-11.6 ppg water base mud. The wells then drilled a
short interval (--400') where a 7" production liner was set.
BP changed the well design after the first three wells to additionally protect the Kuparuk
zone. The initial design subjected the Kuparuk to the 11.5 ppg mud while the Kingak
was drilled. The new design added a protective drilling liner to cover the Kingak from
below the Kuparuk to the top of the Ivishak. 9 5/8" intermediate was set below the
Kuparuk in the top of the Miluveach shale. The Kingak was then drilled with 11.3-13.1
ppg mud (average 12.4 ppg) to the Sag River where the 7" drilling liner was set. A 6 1/8"
hole was then d~illed to TD and a 4%" production liner set. BP's design was focused on
minimizing formation damage in both the Kuparuk and Ivishak zones 2~s welt ~~ avvid'tng

5 Detailed Operations Procedure
5.1 PLUG AND ABANDONMENT PROCEDURE
Abandonment must be designed and executed to comply with AOGCC Rule 20 AAC
25.112. Key elements of the requirements are shown below.
Plugging of the uncased portion of a wellbore must be performed in a manner that
ensures that all hydrocarbons and freshwater are confined to their respective
indigenous strata and are prevented from migrating into other strata or to the surface.
The minimum requirements for plugging the uncased portion of a wellbore are as
follows:
A cement plug must be placed from 100 feet below the base to 100 feet above the top
of all hydrocarbon-bearing strata.
A cement plug must be placed from the well's total depth to 100 feet above the top of all
hydrocarbon-bearing strata.
~ A cement plug must be placed from 100 feet below the base to 50 feet above the base
of each abnormally geo-pressured stratum and from 50 feet below the top to 100 feet
above the top of each abnormally geo-pressured stratum;
A cement plug must be placed from 150 feet below the base to 50 feet above the base
of the deepest freshwater stratum.
A continuous cement plug must be placed from 100 feet below to 100 feet above the
casing shoe;
The down squeeze method using a retainer set no less than 50 feet but no more than
100 feet above the casing shoe can be used with a volume of cement sufficient to fill the
wellbore from the retainer to 100 feet below the casing shoe. Cement must be pumped
above the retainer to cap it with a 50 foot cement plug.
Except for surface plugs, the operator shall record the actual location and integrity of
cement plugs, cement retainers, or bridge plugs set, using one of the following methods,
which in the case of a cement retainer or bridge plug may be performed before cement
is placed on top of the plug:
Placing sufficient weight on the plug to confirm its location and to confirm that
the plug has set and a competent plug is in place.

2. Testing the plug to hold a surface pressure of 1,500 psig or 0.25 psi/ft
multiplied by the true vertical depth of the casing shoe, whichever is greater,
and tagging the plug to confirm location; however, surface pressure may not
subject the casing to a hoop stress that will exceed 70 percent of the
minimum yield strength of the casing.
Each of the respective intervals of a wellbore befinreen the various plugs must be filled
with fluid of sufficient density to exert a hydrostatic pressure exceeding the greatest
formation pressure of permeable formations in the intervals befinreen the plugs at the
time of abandonment.
Plugs and slurry designs will be determined based on logs.
5.2 WELL TESTING
This exploratory well targets two prospective producing intervals, the Kuparuk C sand
and the Ivishak Sand. Both zones could be individually tested. Well testing will utilize a
portable test separator, flare and portable tank battery. Surface samples will be
collected from the test separator periodically during any flow test. Any produced liquids
brought to surface will be collected and hauled to an existing facility in Prudhoe Bay.
• Produced fluiti volumes by zone rnust be reported to AOGCC: Any produced gas
brought to the surface will be flared. PowerWell services will provide the testing
services.
A detailed well testing design and procedure will be prepared and included as an
Appendix to this procedure.

7.2 FRAC GRADIENT & LEAK OFF TESTS
A theoretical fracture pressure gradient was developed using Eaton's correlation. Actual
leakoff test data was compiled from area wells and is plotted on the attached. Actual
surface casing leak offs typically exceeded the estimated FG by 1.5-2.0 ppg. Values for
fracture pressure were assumed as an average of estimated and actual at surface
casing depths. Eaton's correlations and actual LOT's compared more favorably at the
deeper horizons.

7.3 HOLE STAB/L/TY
Three shale intervals are present in the area that sometime require additional mud
weight to prevent tight hole due to stress related shale instability. These occur from
-7900' to ~8150' 1VD in the HRZ shale and from -9400' to -10,800' TVD in the
Miluveach & Kingak shales. Based on review of available drilling histories in the area,
shale instability problems are not anticipated at SR1. Furthermore, it is planned to drill
the Kingak section vertically which should largely mitigate instability. It is anticipated that
the well can be drilled to TD with 10.5 ppg.
7.4 WELL PRESSURE DESIGN
Assuming 10.5 ppg mud is used to TD the well in 8 3/" hole and annular friction losses
equal 1.0 ppg, an ECD will be 11.5 ppg at total depth. With a 12.5 ppg FIT at the
surface casing shoe (3,478' TVD), an ample pressure window (1.0 ppg) exists to safely
drill to TD without intermediate casing. Theoretical leak off is estimated to be 13.6 ppg.

Sticky clays in the permafrost at and also in the zone below the permafrost can slow
ROP from bit balling. If needed add DRILLZONE or SCREEN KLEEN (at 0.5 - 1.5%)
and Nut Plug m(as allowed by MWD tools) to help clean and clear the balled bit.
Use cold water for the initial make-up and for additions made to the mud system during
the surface drilling operations to help prevent permafrost thawing. Try to keep flowline
temperatures of 60°F or less while drilling this interval.
Maintain low flow rates for the initial 200' of drilling to reduce the chance of washing out
the conductor shoe.
Sticky clay formations are problematic in the surface hole. Maintain or slightly increase
mud weight (0.1 ppg) and continue additions of surfactant at 15 to 30 gallons per hour.
Wiper runs may be necessary to wipe the wellbore of the problem clays. DRILLZONE
or SCREEN KLEEN maintained at 0.5 - 1.5% is recommended to help with clay related
issues.
To help insure good cement to surface after running the casing, condition mud to a YP
of 25-30 prior to cementing the casing.
Use water sparinqly and ensure proper solids control equipment utilization is beinq
• observed to reduce the over all haul-off costs for this well.
Although a low potential risk, hydrates may be encountered (particularly at depths just
below the base of the permafrost). Observe good drilling practices to determine severity
of any influx and weight up as needed to maintain proper well control. Precautions
including control drilling and additions of Lecithin should be taken.
As with hvdrates. there is a low risk shallow aas could be qresent. Be alert for mud loq /
indications of Qas in shallow hole. Increase circulation rate and/or mud weiqht if
necessarv. Be especiallv diliqent when tripqinq. Monitor trip tank closelv. Use top drive
to oumn out of hole if hole swabs. If there is anv doubt about fill up volumes, return to
bottom and circulate out
Spud mud will be mixed on the rig or at M-I Swaco's Prudhoe Bay mud plant once the
rig is spotted over the well. For the first batch (100-200 bbls) of fluid mixed, add caustic
or KOH and 2.5 ppb M-I Gel to the make-up water and allow the gel to hydrate as long
as is possible prior to mixing the other products. Use as cold of water as possible for the
initial make-up and for additions made to the mud system during the surface drilling
operations.
Run all solids control equipment. Run 84-110 mesh shaker screens to maintain a moist
discharge for enhanced solids removal. Add drill water below shaker to avoid washing
unwanted solids back into the active system. Watch for "excessively wet" cuttings and

.
change screens to a larger mesh should this occur. Minimization of "excessively wet"
cuttings sent to Grind and Inject for disposal is a major cost reduction factor.
Lower API fluid loss with Drispac (or Poly Pac Supreme UL) as needed to maintain hole
stability. To control rheology, additions of Desco CF inay be needed.
Allow surface mud volumes to fall during the later stage of this interval to minimize
waste fluid disposal costs.
Run and set the casing as per program. Treat the chase fluid and drill out mud fo~ the
upcoming cement drill out.
Pre treat as required to prepare for cement drill out after running 9 5/8" casing. Upon
drill-out of the surface casing shoe, treat any cement returns with SAPP, Bicarb, and
PH-6 as needed.
8 3/" Production Hole 4,027' MD to 12,978' MD (11,290' TVD)
The production interval will be drilled to a planned depth of 12,978' MD in a 8 3/<" hole.
The interval will begin with a 9.5-9.7 ppg fluid and will TD at 12,978' with a planned 10.5
ppg fluid. Close monitoring of hole conditions during connections and on short trips in
• conjunction with mud logging parameters will determine if there will be a requirement to
increase mud weight to control shale instability.
Lithology for this interval is expected to be typical of this region consisting of sand,
shales, and siltstones.
Ensure that the fluid properties are maintained to provide the best possible hole
cleaning. Maintain mud weights as per program guide lines, or as the hole dictates, and
ensure that rheology is optimized to reduce ECD's to a manageable level while drilling.
Monitor for any fluid losses and flow back closely.
Control the ROP and flow rates as needed using PWD readings to avoid inducing a
breakdown of any formations. Reduce pump rates immediately if packing off occurs.
Pump high viscosity sweeps periodically to assist in hole cleaning and evaluating hole
cleaning performance. Adjust rheology, pipe rotation speed, pipe running speeds and
pump rates as needed to balance hole cleaning and ECD. Break circulation slowlv and
keep in mind that, with hiqh vield point muds, the maioritv of ECD is realized at verv low
circulation rates.
Lost circulation could be a possible problem for this interval. Tripping and casing
running speeds should be monitored closely. Rheology and mud weight should also be
held within tight specification.
Add lubricants as needed but do not exceed 3% v/v total without careful consideration.
Also ensure that the hole is clean prior to adding lubricants. Do not use the lubricants
as a substitute for hole cleaning problem.

Monitor and record drilling parameters on each connection and before and after any
lubricant additions.
Upon reaching TD watch the bottoms-up cuttings closely. If the well does not readily
cleanup or if there are any excess of torque, drag, pick-up or slack-off weights pump a
second high viscosity/weighted sweep and observe bottoms up again.
A mud weight-up to 10.4 ppg will need to be completed by 300' TVD above the
Kuparuk.
Fluid deliveries, fluid transfers, and cuttings disposal issues should be tracked on a daily
basis.

8.3 16" CONDUCTOR CASING
A 16" 0.495" wall thickness conductor casing string will be set at 80 feet below ground
level utilizing a Watson drill to bore a 24" diameter hole. The casing will be cemented by
placing Artic Set cement in the 16" X 24" annulus. A round corrugated galvanized cellar
will be installed having a 6' diameter.
Due to the surface location close proximity to the shoreline, it is possible that shallow
ground water will be encountered while boring the 24" hole. If ground water flow cannot
be sealed off, a drive hammer will be utilized to drive the 16" conductor to point of
refusal.
8.4 9 5/8" SURFACE CASING
Required to provide sufficient fracture gradient to drill to total depth as well as provide
protection for permafrost and shallow formations.

Maximum Anticipated SurFace Pressure
Maximum surface pressure of 2077 psi would occur at casing seat breakdown with 9
5/8" surFace casing set at 3478' ND and the well depth at 11290' ND with the hole
evacuated to a gas gradient with 9.6 ppg pore pressure.
~ Wellhead and BOP equipment will be designed with a minimum working pressure of
5000 psi.
11.2 GENERAL WELL CONTROL PLAN
A 13-5/8" Triple Ram Preventer rated for 5,000 psi with a 13 5/8" 5,000 psi annular
preventer will be used on this well. A 21 '/4' diverter BOP with 16" diverter line will be
used on the surface hole for shallow gas and/or water flow control.
All BOP's and the accumulator should be thoroughly serviced and tested on location.
Leaking accumulator valves should be replaced before drilling commences. All
accumulator bottles should be checked for pre-charge pressures and volume
requirements should be confirmed.
A Top Drive safety valve will be used and a stabbing valve (full-opening TIW valve) will
be kept on the derrick floor at all times in the open position. Be sure the closing handle
is available and its location is known to all crews.
Pressure test the entire BOP stack and choke manifold with clear water to 250 psi and
5000 psi (2500 psi for annular) upon initial installation and every 7 days thereafter. An
additional test should be performed anytime the BOP stack is repaired or otherwise
altered in any way. Record results in the IADC report and in the morning report sent to
the office. Each test should be held for 10 minutes minimum.

11.3 BOP DR/LLS
BOP drills are essential to familiarize drill crews with the sequence of events involved in
shutting in a kick, and their individual responsibilities. They must be held on a routine
basis as frequentty as required to bring the crews' response time down to a minimum,
hole conditions permitting. Once the Drilling Supervisor and Contractor Toolpusher are
satisfied with the standards set by the crews, kick drills will be conducted at least once a
week.
11.3.1 KICK WHILE TRIPPING
This drill will be conducted when the BHA is inside the last casing string to avoid the
possibility of differential sticking.
Without giving prior notice, the trip tank float is raised by the Toolpusher or Drilling
Supervisor to simulate an influx. The driller is expected to take the following steps to
shut in the well.
• Stab and make up drill pipe safety valve, close it.
• Close the annular preventer.
• Open the HCR valve. Chokes should be in closed position.
• Start recording pressures, and also pit gain when stabilized.
• Call toolpusher and, inform him that the well is shut in.
• Record the time for the drill on the IADC drilling report
~ 11.3.2 KICK WHILE DRILLING
This drill can be conducted in either cased or open hole. However, if the drillstring is in
open hole, the well will not be shut in. The choke is closed in for drilling.
The float in the active pit is raised to simulate an influx. The driller is expected to detect
the gain, and take the following steps:
• Pick up off bottom, stop pumps, check for flow
• Report to Toolpusher.
~ On the next trip out of the hole, with the BHA in the casing, the top drive can be
made up, circulation resumed, and the following procedure used to complete the
drilL•
• Close annular and open HCR valve.
• Record pressures.
~ Call toolpusher and inform him that the well is shut in. Record casing and drill
pipe pressures.
• Record time taken to complete drill and record on the IADC report.

11.3.3 DIVERTER DRILL
Particular attention will be paid to crew response times when drilling surface hole and
the well control plan is to divert if a kick is taken. If shallow gas is encountered, a kick
can rapidly develop into an uncontrolled blowout if action is not taken quickly. p~it~r ta
spud, a diverter drill must be practiced, and times recorded in a similar manner to a
BOP drill. L7iverter d~ilts can be simulated after spud, bu# equipm+~nt sh~utd nQt ~ctually
be f~nctioned,
• Diverting at surtace:
• Space out drill pipe so that the top drive IBOP is above rotary table.
• Open diverter lines (Auto sequence)
• Close diverter element.
~ Record response time.
11.3.4 $LOW CIRCULATING RATES
Slow circulating rates are recorded to give an estimation of what the circulating
pressures will be at the lower circulating rates during the displacement of a kick.
A kick will be displaced from the hole at a pump rate considerably slower than the
normal circulating rate for number of reasons:
• To minimize the pressures exerted on open hole and on surface equipment.
i • To allow adequate degassing of mud returns.
• To allow sufficient time to weight up mud to displace the kick and to weight up
light returns.
• To allow the choke operator time to react to pressure changes as the kick is
circulated out of the hole.
SCR's will vary with annular pressure losses, and must be taken whenever there is
likely to be a change in annular pressure losses. This means SCR's should be taken:
• Once a tour, or every 1000 ft drilled, whichever is most frequent.
• When a new bit or nozzle configuration is run.
• When the BHA is chanced.
• When the mud weight is changed, or if there is a significant change in mud
rheology.
The SCR is used, with the initial shut in drill pipe pressure, to calculate the initial
circulating pressure when circulating out a kick.
11.4 K/CK DETECTION
The following section should be posted in the rig floor dog house and reviewed with
each drilling crew.

~
A kick can be taken, with no prior warning, at any time when drilting. Crews must be
alert to the possibility at all times. The main indications of a kick or the potential for a
kick are:
Mud Loggers & Gas Detection in Mud returns - Gas in mud returns observed by
the mud loggers should be monitored closely. This is especially important in
surface hole since gas ~eadings may be the only indication that a potential gas
zone has been penetrated. If gas readings are noted, also analyze LWD
Resistivity measurements for any indication of gas shows. Mud loggers should
immediately notify driller and company men when high gas readings are
observed, especially in surface hole.
• Drilling Breaks - One of the first indications that a kick is about to be taken. A
drilling break will usually indicate that a more porous, permeable formation has
been penetrated, with the possibility that an influx will be taken if the mud column
is underbalanced. It is policy to flowcheck all drilling breaks.
• Change in pump speed or pressure - If an influx occurs while drilling, the fluid
column in the annulus becomes lighter and the mud in the drill pipe begins to u-
tube, at this point the driller may observe a pressure drop and an increase in
pump strokes.
~ • Hookload Increase - Displacement of drilling fluid with an influx of hydrocarbons
will reduce the buoyancy of the drillstring, causing an increase in hookload.
However, by the time a reduction of string weight is noticed, a considerable influx
will already have been taken.
• Pit level Increase - The most reliable indicator of a kick is a gain in pit volume.
Therefore it is critical that there is good communication between the Driller and
pit crew. Mud must not be added to, or transferred from the active system, or
any solids control equipment operated without the driller's knowledge. Any pit
level increase must be flowchecked. A kick may occur during a connection due to
the reduction in ECD when pumps are shut down. Detection is made more
difficult by the volume of mud from the flowline returning to the pits. It is
important to be aware of how much this return volume is on a connection so that
any additional influx can be detected. Mud loggers should carefully observe the
rate of increase in pit level during a connection, as a faster rate of return will be
the first indication that a kick is taking place.
• Return Flow Increase - An increase in return flow is a good kick indicator while
drilling and, if it can be detected, will provide the first waming.
Incorrect fill up volumes on a trip - Most kicks occur while tripping. Hole fill-up
volumes on a trip must be carefully monitored and a trip sheet filled out.

Sak River No. 1 Drilling Program Gwydyr Bay Area, Alaska
~
• Gas Cut Mud - If a small influx was taken and no pit level increase detected, the
first indication that a kick has occurred may be gas-cut mud at the flowline.
However, gas-cut mud in itself does not necessarily mean that the well is kicking,
as the gas may be from drilled cuttings.
11.5 WELL SHUT IN METHODS
When a kick is detected, the objective is to shut the well in safely with minimum influx
volume. The shut in procedure and choke manifold alignment will be agreed with the
drilling contractor in advance, and practiced in drills until every crew member is familiar
with his responsibilities.
The fast shut in method has been adopted as standard company procedure.
11.5.1 DIVERTING
When drilling surface hole the normal indications of a kick may prove unreliable. Large
diameter hole is drilled, penetration rates may vary considerably, and mud will probably
be added continuously to the system. The most reliable kick indicator is a differential
flow sensor. Reaction time is minimal and crews must be alert at all times to the
possible presence of shallow gas. At first indication of flow, the following procedure
should be initiated.
• • Increase to maximum pumping rate.
• Open diverter line.
• Close diverter element.
• Shut down all machinery and other sources of ignition if possible.
• Post a watch for evidence of gas breaking out outside the conductor
11.5.2 BOP FAST SHUT-~N
The choke is CLOSED while drilling. If a kick is suspected:
Pick up off bottom, stop pumps, flowcheck.
Close annular and open HCR valve.
Record pressures
11.5.3 $HUT-IN PERIOD
Pressure Recording - Once the well is shut in, the drill pipe and casing pressures must
be recorded at one minute intervals. Pressures will usually stabilize quite quickly,
depending on the pressure and permeability of the flowing formation. Once pressures
have stabilized, any further increase in pressures is due to migration of the influx up the
hole.
The shut-in drill pipe pressure (SIDPP) is used to determine the pressure of the kicking
• formation. If a kick is taken with a float valve in the string, no SIDPP will be indicated,
02006 Prepared by Signa Engineering Corp Page 44
~ ~

Sak River No. 1 Drilling Program Gwydyr Bay Area, Alaska
•
as the valve will close against the pressure. The SIDPP can be determined by slowly
pumping down the drill pipe, carefully monitoring both drill pipe and casing pressure.
Once the pressure equalizes across the valve it will open, and a change in rate of pump
pressure increase will be noticed. The mud pump is then isolated at the standpipe and
the SIDPP recorded as the pressure observed immediately before the valve opened. If
the casing pressure starts to rise, the pump is stopped immediately.
11.5.4 FLOW CHECKS
Flow checks should be conducted as determined by the Drilling Supervisor. If the well is
suspected to be flowing, the following procedure should be implemented immediately:
• Pick up such that any tool joint is clear of the BOP's
• Shut down the pump
• Check for flow. If the well is flowing -
• Close the Annular Preventer
• Open the HCR valve
• Choke should be closed
• Record the Shut-In Drill Pipe Pressure (SIDPP) and the Casing Pressure (CP) or
annulus pressure immediately.
~ tf the BC1P st~~k is ctosed to prev~nt flow fram the;well, 'the At'7CC~ ~hould be rrt~tified.
11.6 K/LL METHODS
11.G.1 WAIT AND WEIGHT METHOD
The Wait-and-Weight method involves circulating out the kick with kill weight mud in one
circulation. The Drillers Method is a finro circulation method. On the first circulation the
influx is circulated out of the hole with the existing mud weight using the choke to
maintain the required pressure differential. On the second circulation, kill weight mud is
circulated round the hole.
11.6.2 THE DRILLERS METHOD
The Drillers method may be used if it is not practical to start the Wait-and-Weight
method. This could be the if there is insufficient weighting material at the rigsite to
weight up the system to the kill weight required, or if the mixing system on the rig was
not capable of keeping pace as the kick is displaced

Sak River No. 1 Drilling Program Gwydyr Bay Area, Alaska
1 Introduction
Sak River Well 1 will be drilled from an ice pad near Gwydyr Bay less than 1000' from
the coast line. The well will be directionally drilled to the northeast on a 45.8 degree
azimuth to reach target zones 5,259' from the surface location. To accomplish this, the
well will be kicked off at 500' from surface, angle built to 37.4 degrees and tangent held
to a total measured depth of 12,978' (11,290' ND). The "S" shaped welf is dropped to
vertical at 10,378' MD (8,690' ND) prior to penetrating the Kuparuk C sand. The lower
2,600' MD of the wellbore will then be dri ed vertical through the Kuparuk, Kingak and
Ivishak formations. ~
`~'uC~o ~~c~~ e-8~' ~~--~ y ~ ~~ ~
Surface location will be located in t e~. rtheast corner of Section 1, T12N, R12E and
bottomhole location will be in Sectio 25, 13N, R12E. Projected commencement of the
drilling operation is mid January 200 .
After drilling to total depth and evaluating the hole, the well will be abandoned or 7"
production casing set and the well production tested.
Nabors Rig 16E, a 2000 HP Dreco Slingshot design, will be used to drill the well.

2.4 OFFSET INFORMATION
Twenty exploration wells drilled between 1969 and 2000 were reviewed. The primary
source of data was the Alaskan Oil & Gas Conservation Commission website. Half of
the wells were within 5 mites of the SR1 location. The remainder consisted mainly of
delineation wells in the Northstar Field (7 miles to NE) and wells drilled to the Midnight
Sun pool on the northeast side of the Prudhoe Bay Unit (8 miles to the SE). Additional
wells on PBU Pad S have been examined.
A detailed mechanical cross section was prepared for these wells and is included in the
Appendix. Due to the extent of the information, discussion of the details of all the wells
is beyond the scope of this report; however, a review of this data is available if needed.
Intermediate casing was not always set and when set, was used primarily for testing
either the Kuparuk or Ivishak. Generally the wells spent considerable time cutting
conventional cores which sometimes doubled the amount of time required to reach TD. ~
Comparatively speaking, wells reviewed encountered fewer drilling problems that '
normally seen in a review of this type in other areas. G~
The closest offset well to SR1 is the Cities Service Gwydyr Bay State A-1 drilled i 197
to a depth of 12210' MD with maximum deviation of 29 degrees. It was the ost
problematic well reviewed in the study. Problems occurred when setting 13 3/8" ca '
at 2681' due to a centralizer coming apart and a leak in the wellhead. A LSND mud
system was used; however, solids control was very poor and solids concentrations were
abnormally high in the mud. File notes documented that the rig ran out of fresh water
make up fluid for several days which aggravated the solids problem in the mud.
Stuck pipe problems followed by hole pack off and mud losses occurred in the Kuparuk.
After nine days of fishing, drilling resumed and the well was drilled through the Kingak
shale to 12,005' with 10.4 ppg. The pipe stuck on a trip in the hole and the drill pipe
parted while jarring. After recovering the fish, 9 5/8" casing was set.
Although drilling performance was poor for this well due to poor hole conditions, shale
instability and resulting breakout was probably not the cause of the problem. The open
hole was exposed to a very poor mud system for an excessive amount of time. Very
poor drilling practices were followed. Additionally, the rig was a kelly type rig and unable
to efficiently handle the hoie problems when compared to today's top drive equipped
rigs.
2.3 PRUDHOE BAY UNIT - MIDNIGHT SUN POOL
The Midnight Sun Oil pool was discovered by BP in 1997 with their Sam #1 well (later re
named PBU E-100. With 4441' MD of 9 5/8" surtace casing, Sam 1 was drilled at 55
degrees to 12,906' with 10.4 ppg 3% KCL LSND mud where 7" casing was set in 8'/z"
hole in the top of the Sag River. Kingak shale was drilled without problems with 10.4
ppg mud. After setting casing, the well was drilled to 13282' where a 4'/z' production
02006 Prepared by Signa Engineering Corp Page 6

Sak River No. 1 Drilling Program Gwydyr Bay Area, Alaska
liner was set across the Ivishak. Overall, from spud to TD, the well averaged 458 feet
per day which includes 6 days of logging at the 7" casing point.
Five additional wells were drilled to develop Midnight Sun, three Kuparuk producers and
finro Kuparuk water injectors.
E-101 was then drilled to 13,618' MD at 66 degrees with 9 5/8" surFace casing set at
6,370' MD (4,558' TVD). 7" production casing was set at TD in a 8'/2" hole and 10.2 ppg
mud. Spud to TD was 21 days.
E-102 was then drilled to 10,315' MD at 43 degrees with 10 3/4" surface casing set at
4,407' MD. 7 5/8" production casing was set at TD in a 9 7/8" hole and 10.3 ppg mud.
Spud to TD was 11 days.
E-103 was drilled to 12,240' as a horizontal Kuparuk injector in 18 days.
E-104 was drilled to 12,384' MD as a Kuparuk injection well. Maximum angle was 58
degrees. After setting 9 5/8" surFace at 5013' MD, 8 3/" hole was drilled to TD where 7"
casing was run to bottom. Spud to TD took 9 days.
As can be concluded from the above information, BP conducted a very successful,
highly efficient drilling campaign at Midnight Sun.
2.4 NORTHSTAR
Northstar Field was discovered in 1983 with the Amerada Hess - Seal Island A-1. Five
delineation wells were drilled by Amerada and Shell du~ing 1984-1985. Actual field
development began in early 2001 when BP drilled Northstar 27 from the newly
constructed drilling island. From 2001 to early 2004, BP drilled 23 wells high angle
directional wells to develop the field.
All of the development wells set 13 3/8" surface casing at around 3,603' MD (3,224'
ND). The first three wells drilled through the Kingak shale and set 9 5/8" intermediate
at approximately 10,800' TVD in 11.3-11.6 ppg water base mud. The wells then drilled a
short interval (~400') where a 7" production liner was set.
BP changed the well design after the first three wells to additionally protect the Kuparuk
zone. The initial design subjected the Kuparuk to the 11.5 ppg mud while the Kingak
was drilled. The new design added a protective drilling liner to cover the Kingak from
below the Kuparuk to the top of the Ivishak. 9 5/8" intermediate was set below the
Kuparuk in the top of the Miluveach shale. The Kingak was then drilled with 11.3-13.1
ppg mud (average 12.4 ppg) to the Sag River where the 7" drilling liner was set. A 6 1/8"
hole was then drilled to TD and a 4'/z" production liner set. BP's design was fo used on
minimizing formation damage in both the Kuparuk and Ivishak zones. ~!~

Precautions should be taken for shallow gas at all times.
Highest liklihood of having a shallow gas problem is on
trips. When drilling, monitor mud log gas and increase
Shallow Gas pump rate to increase ECD if gas detected. Increase mud
weight if possible. Use diverter'rf rig safety compromised.
When tripping, keep hole full and closely monitor trip tank.

Watch for increased shale across shaker and increased
torque and drag. Maintain proper hole cleaning. If torque
Hole Cieaning increases make a wiper trip. Plotting torque and drag daily
will indicate problematic trends. Report torque and Pick-
u Rotatin and Slack off wei hts.
Hole packoff can occur due to conglomerate drilling in the
Stuck Pipe due to hole packoff Triassic and/or improper hole cleaning. Use PW D data to
monitor cuttings loading and conVol drill and/or circulate

5 Detailed Operations Procedure
5.1 PLUG AND ABANDONMENT PROCEDURE
Abandonment must be designed and executed to comply with AOGCC Rule 20 AAC
25.112. Key elements of the requirements are shown below.
Plugging of the uncased portion of a wellbore must be performed in a manner that
ensures that all hydrocarbons and freshwater are confined to their respective
indigenous strata and are prevented from migrating into other strata or to the surface.
The minimum requirements for plugging the uncased portion of a wellbore are as
follows:
A cement plug must be placed from 100 feet below the base to 100 feet above the top
of all hydrocarbon-bearing strata.
A cement plug must be placed from the well's total depth to 100 feet above the top of all
hydrocarbon-bearing strata.
A cement plug must be placed from 100 feet below the base to 50 feet above the base
of each abnormally geo-pressured stratum and from 50 feet below the top to 100 feet
above the top of each abnormally geo-pressured stratum;
A cement plug must be placed from 150 feet below the base to 50 feet above the base
of the deepest freshwater stratum.
A continuous cement plug must be placed from 100 feet below to 100 feet above the
casing shoe;
The down squeeze method using a retainer set no less than 50 feet but no more than
100 feet above the casing shoe can be used with a volume of cement sufficient to fill the
wellbore from the retainer to 100 feet below the casing shoe. Cement must be pumped
above the retainer to cap it with a 50 foot cement plug.
Except for surface plugs, the operator shall record the actual location and integrity of
cement plugs, cement retainers, or bridge plugs set, using one of the following methods,
which in the case of a cement retainer or bridge plug may be performed before cement
is placed on top of the plug:
1. Placing sufficient weight on the plug to confirm its location and to confirm that
the plug has set and a competent plug is in place.
02006 Prepared by Signa Engineering Corp Page 16
~
~
Brooks Ranqe Petroleum a su6sidiarv of A VCG. LLC
Sak River No. 1 Drilling Program Gwydyr Bay Area, Alaska
2. Testing the plug to hold a surface pressure of 1,500 psig or 0.25 psi/ft
multiplied by the true vertical depth of the casing shoe, whichever is greater,
and tagging the plug to confirm location; however, surface pressure may not
subject the casing to a hoop stress that will exceed 70 percent of the
minimum yield strength of the casing.
Each of the respective intervals of a wellbore befinreen the various plugs must be filled
with fluid of sufficient density to exert a hydrostatic pressure exceeding the greatest
fo~mation pressure of permeable formations in the intervals befinreen the plugs at the
time of abandonment.
Plugs and slurry designs will be determined based on logs.
5.2 WELL TESTING
This exploratory well targets finro prospective producing intervals, the Kuparuk C sand
and the Ivishak Sand. Both zones could be individually tested. Well testing will utilize a
portable test separator, flare and portable tank battery. Surface samples will be
collected from the test separator periodically during any flow test. Any produced liquids
brought to surface will be collected and hauled to an existing facility in Prudhoe Bay.
Any produced gas brought to the surface will be flared. PowerWell services will provide
the testing services. ~~~~ ~`J~ ~`~~~ ~ ~ ~~5~ ~~ ~~~~ ~ ,~° ~~C
A detailed well testing design and procedure will be prepared and included as an ~
Appendix to this procedure.

7.2 FRAC GRADIENT 8 LEAK OFF TESTS
A theoretical fracture pressure gradient was developed using Eaton's correlation. Actual
leakoff test data was compiled from area wells and is plotted on the attached. Actual
surface casing leak offs typically exceeded the estimated FG by 1.5-2.0 ppg. Values for
fracture pressure were assumed as an average of estimated and actual at surface
casing depths. Eaton's correlations and actual LOT's compared more favorably at the
deeper horizons.

7.3 HOLE STABILITY
Three shale intervals are present in the area that sometime require additional mud
weight to prevent tight hole due to stress related shale instability. These occur from
~7900' to -8150' ND in the HRZ shale and from ~9400' to ~10,800' ND in the
Miluveach & Kingak shales. Based on review of available drilling histories in the area,
shale instability problems are not anticipated at SR1. Furthermore, it is planned to drill
the Kingak section vertically which should largely mitigate instability. It is anticipated that
the well can be drilled to TD with 10.5 ppg.
7.4 WELL PRESSURE DES/GN
Assuming 10.5 ppg mud is used to TD the well in 8 3/4" hole a ular friction losses
equal 1.0 ppg, an ECD will be 11.5 ppg at total depth. With ~3.6 pg leak off at the
surface casing shoe (3,478' ND), an ample pressure window pg) exists to safely
drill to TD without intermediate casing. ~-,~~b e~S~~ `~_~~~~ ~~~C~.

Sticky clays in the permafrost at and also in the zone below the permafrost can slow
ROP from bit balling. If needed add DRILLZONE or SCREEN KLEEN (at 0.5 - 1.5%)
and Nut Plug m(as allowed by MWD tools) to help clean and clear the balled bit.
Use cold water for the initial make-up and for additions made to the mud system during
the surface drilling operations to help prevent permafrost thawing. Try to keep flowline
temperatures of 60°F or less while drilling this interval.
Maintain low flow rates for the initial 200' of drilling to reduce the chance of washing out
the conductor shoe.
Sticky clay formations are problematic in the surface hole. Maintain or slightly increase
mud weight (0.1 ppg) and continue additions of surfactant at 15 to 30 gallons per hour.
Wiper runs may be necessary to wipe the wellbore of the problem clays. DRILLZONE
or SCREEN KLEEN maintained at 0.5 - 1.5% is recommended to help with clay related
issues.
To help insure good cement to surface after running the casing, condition mud to a YP
of 25-30 prior to cementing the casing.
Use water sparinqlV and ensure proper solids control e4uiqment utilization is beinq
observed to reduce the over all haul-off costs for this well.
Although a low potential risk, hydrates may be encountered (particularly at depths just
below the base of the permafrost). Observe good drilling practices to determine severity
of any influx and weight up as needed to maintain proper well control. Precautions
including control drilling and additions of Lecithin should be taken.
As with hvdrates, there is a low risk shallow qas could be present. Be alert for mud loq
indications of qas in shallow hole. Increase circulation rate and/or mud weiqht if
necessarv. Be especially diliqent when trippinq. Monitor trip tank closelV. Use top drive
to qump out of hole if hole swabs. If there is any doubt about fill uq volumes. return to
bottom and circulate out
Spud mud will be mixed on the rig or at M-I Swaco's Prudhoe Bay mud plant once the
rig is spotted over the well. For the first batch (100-200 bbls) of fluid mixed, add caustic
or KOH and 2.5 ppb M-I Gel to the make-up water and allow the gel to hydrate as long
as is possible prior to mixing the other products. Use as cold of water as possible for the
initial make-up and for additions made to the mud system during the surface drilling
operations.
Run all solids control equipment. Run 84-110 mesh shaker screens to maintain a moist
discharge for enhanced solids removal. Add drill water below shaker to avoid washing
unwanted solids back into the active system. Watch for "excessively wet" cuttings and

change screens to a larger mesh should this occur. Minimization of "excessively weY'
cuttings sent to Grind and Inject for disposal is a major cost reduction factor.
Lower API fluid loss with Drispac (or Poly Pac Supreme UL) as needed to maintain hole
stability. To control rheology, additions of Desco CF inay be needed.
Allow surFace mud volumes to fall during the later stage of this interval to minimize
waste fluid disposal costs.
Run and set the casing as per program. Treat the chase fluid and drill out mud for the
upcoming cement drill out.
Pre treat as required to prepare for cement drill out after running 9 5/8" casing. Upon
drill-out of the surface casing shoe, treat any cement returns with SAPP, Bicarb, and
PH-6 as needed.
8 3/4" Production Hole 4,027' MD to 12.978' MD (11.290' TVD
The production interval will be drilled to a planned depth of 12,978' MD in a 8 3/" hole.
The interval will begin with a 9.5-9.7 ppg fluid and will TD at 12,978' with a planned 10.5
ppg fluid. Close monitoring of hole conditions during connections and on short trips in
conjunction with mud logging parameters will determine if there will be a requirement to
increase mud weight to control shale instability.
Lithology for this interval is expected to be typical of this region consisting of sand,
shales, and siltstones.
Ensure that the fluid properties are maintained to provide the best possible hole
cleaning. Maintain mud weights as per program guide lines, or as the hole dictates, and
ensure that rheology is optimized to reduce ECD's to a manageable level while drilling.
Monitor for any fluid losses and flow back closely.
Control the ROP and flow rates as needed using PWD readings to avoid inducing a
breakdown of any formations. Reduce pump rates immediately if packing off occurs.
Pump high viscosity sweeps periodically to assist in hole cleaning and evaluating hole
cleaning performance. Adjust rheology, pipe rotation speed, pipe running speeds and
pump rates as needed to balance hole cleaning and ECD. Break circulation slowlv and
keep in mind that, with hiph vield aoint muds, the maioritv of ECD is realized at verv low
circulation rates.
Lost circulation could be a possibte problem for this interval. Tripping and casing
running speeds should be monitored closely. Rheology and mud weight should also be
held within tight specification.
Add lubricants as needed but do not exceed 3% v/v total without careful consideration.
Also ensure that the hole is clean prior to adding lubricants. Do not use the lubricants
as a substitute for hole cleaning problem.

Monitor and record drilling parameters on each connection and before and after any
lubricant additions.
Upon reaching TD watch the bottoms-up cuttings closely. If the well does not readily
cleanup or if there are any excess of torque, drag, pick-up or slack-off weights pump a
second high viscosity/weighted sweep and observe bottoms up again.
A mud weight-up to 10.4 ppg will need to be completed by 300' ND above the
Kuparuk.
Fluid deliveries, fluid transfers, and cuttings disposal issues should be tracked on a daily
basis.

Conditioned mud from the surface interval or new fluid delivered from the MI mud plant
will be used to make up the KCI/KLAGARD fluid for this interval. Conditioned mud
should be centrifuged as needed to achieve the desired drill out weight of 9.5 - 9.7 ppg.

Maintain low gravity drilled solids below 6% with solids control equipment and dilution. If
possible do not allow actual ECD's to exceed 0.5 ppg over predicted "clean hole" ECD.
Prior to trips, circulate until a clean hole ECD is attained (< 0.5 ppg above predicted
ECD). If necessary, spot a pill containing 10 ppb MIX II, 5 ppb Calcium Carbonate
and10 ppb G-Seal. When tripping in hole, break circutation every 3,000-5,000 feet by
gradually bringing the pumps up. Optimize tripping speed using MI's TripPro software.
7.7 SOL/DS 8 FLUID WASTE DISPOSAL
All waste disposal procedures will conform to local, state and Federal requirements. The
general approach to waste management will be to temporarily store wastes and
periodically haul waste materials to existing North Slope facilities for proper treatment
and disposal.
Garbage and domestic combustible refuse will be hauled to a permitted facility and
incinerated. Solid, non-burnable waste will be deposited in large dumpsters and
backhauled to a permitted facility. Food waste will either be hauled on a daily basis to a
secure disposal site or stored in animal proof conex containers awaiting transport.
Sanitary and domestic wastewater will be trucked to an existing, approved waste
disposal facility.
Drill cuttings will be contained in a°heated cuttings tank" and trucked to an approved
grind and inject facility. Waste drilling fluids will be processed on-site for reuse where
possible, or trucked to an approved facility for injection.
Used oil will be recycled or packaged in drums and hauled to Prudhoe Bay for shipment
to an approved recycle faciliry.

A 16" 0.495" wall thickness conductor casing string will be set at 80 feet below ground
level utilizing a Watson drill to bore a 24" diameter hole. The casing will be cemented by
placing Artic Set cement in the 16" X 24" annulus. A round corrugated galvanized cellar
will be installed having a 6' diameter.
Due to the surface location close proximity to the shoreline, it is possible that shallow
ground water will be encountered while boring the 24" hole. If ground water flow cannot
be sealed off, a drive hammer will be utilized to drive the 16" conductor to point of

11.3 BOP DR/LLS
BOP drills are essential to familiarize drill crews with the sequence of events involved in
shutting in a kick, and their individual responsibilities. They must be held on a routine
basis as frequently as required to bring the crews' response time down to a minimum,
hole conditions permitting. Once the Drilling Supervisor and Contractor Toolpusher are
satisfied with the standards set by the crews, kick drills will be conducted at least once a
week.
11.3.1 KICK WHILE TRIPPING
This drill will be conducted when the BHA is inside the last casing string to avoid the
possibility of differential sticking.
Without giving prior notice, the trip tank float is raised by the Toolpusher or Drilling
Supervisor to simulate an influx. The driller is expected to take the following steps to
shut in the well.
• Stab and make up drill pipe safety valve, close it.
• Close the annular preventer.
• Open the HCR valve. Chokes should be in closed position.
• Start recording pressures, and also pit gain when stabilized.
• Call toolpusher and, inform him that the well is shut in.
• Record the time for the drill on the IADC drilling report
11.3.Z KICK WHILE DRILLING
This drill can be conducted in either cased or open hole. However, if the drillstring is in
open hole, the well will not be shut in. The choke is closed in for drilling.
The float in the active pit is raised to simulate an influx. The driller is expected to detect
the gain, and take the following steps:
• Pick up off bottom, stop pumps, check for flow
• Report to Toolpusher.
• On the next trip out of the hole, with the BHA in the casing, the top drive can be
made up, circulation resumed, and the following procedure used to complete the
drilL•
• Close annular and open HCR valve.
• Record pressures.
• Call toolpusher and inform him that the well is shut in. Record casing and drill
pipe pressures.
• Record time taken to complete drill and record on the IADC report.

Mud Loggers & Gas Detection in Mud returns - Gas in mud returns observed by
the mud loggers should be monitored closely. This is especially important in
surface hole since gas readings may be the only indication that a potential gas
zone has been penetrated. If gas readings are noted, also analyze LWD
Resistivity measurements for any indication of gas shows. Mud loggers should
immediately notify driller and company men when high gas readings are
observed, especially in surface hole.
• Drilling Breaks - One of the first indications that a kick is about to be taken. A
drilling break will usually indicate that a more porous, permeable formation has
been penetrated, with the possibility that an influx will be taken if the mud column
is underbalanced. It is policy to flowcheck all drilling breaks.
• Change in pump speed or pressure - If an influx occurs while drilling, the fluid
column in the annulus becomes lighter and the mud in the drill pipe begins to u-
tube, at this point the driller may observe a pressure drop and an increase in
pump strokes.
• Hookload Increase - Displacement of drilling fluid with an influx of hydrocarbons
will reduce the buoyancy of the drillstring, causing an increase in hookload.
However, by the time a reduction of string weight is noticed, a considerable influx
will already have been taken.
• Pit level Increase - The most reliable indicator of a kick is a gain in pit volume.
Therefore it is critical that there is good communication between the Driller and
pit crew. Mud must not be added to, or transferred from the active system, or
any solids control equipment operated without the driller's knowledge. Any pit
level increase must be flowchecked. A kick may occur during a connection due to
the reduction in ECD when pumps are shut down. Detection is made more
difficult by the volume of mud from the flowline returning to the pits. It is
important to be aware of how much this return volume is on a connection so that
any additional influx can be detected. Mud loggers should carefully observe the
rate of increase in pit level during a connection, as a faster rate of return will be
the first indication that a kick is taking place.
• Return Flow Increase - An increase in return flow is a good kick indicator while
drilling and, if it can be detected, will provide the first warning.
Incorrect fill up volumes on a trip - Most kicks occur while tripping. Hole fill-up
volumes on a trip must be carefully monitored and a trip sheet filled out.
Gas Cut Mud - If a small influx was taken and no pit level increase detected, the
first indication that a kick has occurred may be gas-cut mud at the flowline.

Once the pressure equalizes across the valve it will open, and a change in rate of pump
pressure increase will be noticed. The mud pump is then isolated at the standpipe and
the SIDPP recorded as the pressure observed immediately before the valve opened. If
the casing pressure starts to rise, the pump is stopped immediately.
11.~J.4 FLOW CHECKS
Flow checks should be conducted as determined by the Drilling Supervisor. If the well is
suspected to be flowing, the following procedure should be implemented immediately:
• Pick up such that any tool joint is clear of the BOP's ~
• Shut down the pump ~p~~ ~.,,,~J~~-~~ ~~~~~
• Check for flow. If the well is flowing - ~~
• Close the Annular Preventer ~ ~ ~~ ~ 5 ~~ ~' ~~`J~~
• Open the HCR valve .~o~~a~~~~ vJ~~
• Choke should be closed ~~~~S ~~~ ~ C~
• Record the Shut-In Drill Pipe Pressure (SIDPP) and the Casing Pressure (CP) or
annulus pressure immediately.
11.6 K/LL METHODS
11.6.1 WAIT AND WEIGHT METHOD
The Wait-and-Weight method involves circulating out the kick with kill weight mud in one
circulation. The Drillers Method is a finro circulation method. On the frrst circulation the
influx is circulated out of the hole with the existing mud weight using the choke to
maintain the required pressure differential. On the second circulation, kill weight mud is
circulated round the hole.
11.6.2 THE DRILLERS METHOD
The Drillers method may be used if it is not practical to start the Wait-and-Weight
method. This could be the if there is insufficient weighting material at the rigsite to
weight up the system to the kill weight required, or if the mixing system on the rig was
not capable of keeping pace as the kick is displaced

Dear Steve,
Re: Drilling Hazards for the Sak River No. 1 and North Shore No. 1 Wells
Please find attached the shallow hazard analysis originally completed by BP back in
December, 2001, for the Sak River No. 1 well. Essentially nothing has changed
regarding the Sak River No 1 surface location since this work was completed. However
the Sak River No. 1 bottom hole location has changed and I have updated the maps in the
document to show the revised bottom hole locations.
Brooks Range Petroleum Corp. will also be permitting in the near future the North Shore
No. 1 well which is located approximately 1.5 miles south of the 5ak River No. 1 surface
location. Since the BP study also covered this area, I've also plotted its location on the
maps. Brooks Range Petroleum doesn't own the shallow seismic data directly under the
North Shore No. 1 surface location so I can't add anything to the study already completed
by BP. Therefore I hope you will accept this study for the shallow hazard analysis for
both locations. If you have any issues with my proposal please let me know. I can be
reached at my Brooks Range telephone number which is 907-865-5803.
Sincerely,

Subject: Drilling Hazard and Risk analysis of the Sak River No. 1 well
Date: December 6, 2001
Steve, _
This letter documents BPXA's drilling hazard and risk analysis for the proposed Sak River No. 1 well
scheduled to spud January, February, or early March of 2002. The analyses of both the 3D seismic data
and the offset well show no indications of drilling hazards or risks. The analyses of this data are not .
defmitive, therefore, BP Exploration will work on the assumprion that the possibility of encountering
drilling hazards exist and establish processes to mitigate the associated risks. As usual, BPXA make
every attempt to conduct ouc drilling operations in a safe and environr~ntally responsive manner.
In our drilling hazard and risk analysis of this well we used our interpretation of the 3D seismic data
obtain~ over the well location, the data collected from the nearby wells, which include the Cities
Gwydyr Bay State A-01 (6,500' from BHL), the Mobil Gwydyr Bay State Unit-01 (14,000' from BHL),
the Conoco Gwydyr Bay State-01 (15,0~' from BHI.), the Mobil Gwydyr Bay South (15,000' from the
BHL), Amerada. Hess Northstar-03 (16,000' from the BHL) and the Sohio Long Island-O1 (20,000' from
the BHL), along with field data from the Northstaz Field (4 miles northeast from the BHL.), the Aurora
Field (4 miles south of the BHL), and the Milne Pt. K pad development (9 miles we~t of the BHL). The
following is a summary of our analysis of the potential hazards and risks of drilling the Sak River #1
well:
• Our analysis of the nearby wells and oil fields indicates that the risk of encountering gas hydrates in
~ this well is low. As shown in the nearby Milne Pt. Field oil field, gas hydrates are not detectable
with conventional seismic data due to their composition. The mud and wireline logs from the nearby
wells give no clear indication of gas hydrates. Maps published by the USGS indicate that the Sak
River well location is northeast of the Eileen gas hydrate aecumulation. BP has documented to the
AOGCC that there are no gas hydrates in the Northstar field which is in a similar geological setting
to Sak River #l.
Interpretation of the 3D seismic data and the data from the nearby wells indicate a low probability of
encountering significant shallow gas in the Sak River #1 well. The brightest amplitudes observed in
ihe 3D data are at the SV4 and SV6levels and appear to be due to stratigraphic variations and not
gas. The mud log data from the nearby wells have only a few weak gas shows in the Sagavanirktok
and Ugnu Forrnations due to low concentrations of gas in water and coal gas. The wireline logs from
the nearby wells indicate no gas sands but several coal gas intervals, the thickest being a 20' section
in the Long Island-01 well below -4,289' TVDss. This analysis agrees with the more extensive
shallow gas analysis of the Northstar Field presented to the AOGCC.
• InterFretation of the 3D seismic data indicates that the proposed Sak River #1 borehole crosses only
one small north-south trending fault (< 50') at approximately -2,800' TVDss that dips to the west.
~ ~
AnaIysis of the 3D seismic data and the nearby well data indicate that the Sak River #1 well will
penetrate a nortnally pressured section to its final TD. The geopressure gradient that the Sak River
#1 well will encounter was estimated using the sonic log interval transit times and mnd weights from
the nearby wells and the 3D seismic stacking velocities along the planned well path. Well plots of
the sonic transit times from the neazby wells indicate thax the shales show a normally pressured,
hydrostatic gradient thtough the TD of the well just below the Kuparuk interval. The notable
deviations are the organic-rich basal Brookian and HRZ shales which are lower velocity due to their
compositioa. The mud weights from the nearby wells also indicate that the Sak River #1 well will
encounter a normaily pressured section. Most of the mud weights range between 9 ppg and 10 ppg,
with none exceeding 10.5 ppg. The seismic stacking velocities along the Sak River #1 well path also
follow a hydrostatic gradient and comespond to the nearby checkshot surveys but with a lower
resolurion.
Please contact either Chet Paris at 907-564-4219 or Bill Bredar at 907-564-5348 if you would like a
presentation regarding our analysis of the hazards and risks of drilling the Sak River #1 well or if you
have any questions or further issues regarding this well.
Thank ~You,

Sak River-01 well hydrates/shaUow gas assessment from seismic
Background
Gas hydrate has been encountered on Cascade-01 and many Milne K-pad wells, 8-9 miles
southwest of the planned'Sak River-O1 location. Hydrates have normally appeared below
the base of the permafrost, typically at a depth of 2000-23~ ftss but may be present as
deep as 3000 ftss. Free gas occurs below the hydrates.
The closest wells, surrounding the Sak River-O1 well, GwydyrA-O1, Gwydyr-O1,
GwydyrS-O1 and GwydyrU-01 appear not to have any of these problems (1.5 - 3 miles
away).
Hydrates/shallow gas from seismic
Due to its composition, ~drates aze not detectable on conventional seismic. Only the free
gas below the hydrates can be seen in the Milne area. Thus for the Sak River-O1 well only
the risk for shallow gas can be assessed using seismic data. In general the seismic data is
focused to image deeper targets and are noisy in the upper 400 msec due to low fold and
permafrost. Base permafrost, which is the most likely seal of potential shallow gas, is
poorly imaged on seismic due to its transitional character.
Sak River-Ol
Figure 1 shows the shallow section of the planed Sak River-01 on Fullsail3D line 12I4.
The most likely position of base permaftost is shown. These correspond to a permafrost
thickness of around 1500 ft in the well (12000fds velocity). The two brightest horizons
below base permafrost, Intra SV6 and Top SV4, have been interpreted to get an idea
about potential traps and amplitude variation. The well will penetrate a fault at 520 ms,
corresponding to around 3000 ft.
Figure 2 shows a TW'f structure map of horizon Intra SV6 (location of seismic line in
figure 1 is indicated). Potential truncation with the base permafrost is shown in white.
The twt contours are generally parallel to the truncation line, ~indicating no local trap
around the Sak River-01 well. A lazger trap might exist, but then GwydyrS-O1 seams to
already have penetrated it.
Figure 3 is an amplitude trough map of the interpreted Intra SV6 horizon. A weak
amplitude anomaly is shown in red azound the Sak River-O1 well. The nearby weils show
the SV6 interval to comprise of fluvial sediments, on the contrary to the deeper SVl-SV5
se~uences which aze marine in origin. The anomaly probably represents a slightly sandier
channel facies then seen in surrounding wells. Although very unlikely, the channel
~ ~ ~
feature could contain shallow gas trapped against the permafrost to the southwest. The
depth of this intervaI is azound base permafrost, 1500-1800 ft. .
Figure 4 shows a TWT structure map of horizon Top SV4 (]ocation of seismic line in
figure 1 is indicated). This horizon truncates the permafrost outside the map area (azound
the Cascade-01 well) and no trap is evident around the Sak River-01 well.
Figure 5 is an amplitude peak map of the inteipreted Top SV4. High amplitudes (red
color) aze evident in the 5ak River well but also in GwydyrA-Ol and Gwydyr-01.
Conclusion
Presence of gas hydrates cannot be evaiuated from seismic data. Presence of shallow gas
in the 0-3000 ft section of the Sak River-01 well is considered low, but cannot be
completely ruled out Highest potential seams to be related to mapped Intra SV6 horizon,
just below the ~rmafrost from 1500 to 1800 ft. The risk is considered low since no
robust trap has been identified and the weak ampIitude anomaly has the chazacter of
lateral lithology variation rather then shallow gas.

Water Salinities in shallow sands in the vicinity of the Sak River and North Shore
Exploration Wells
Brooks Range Petroleum Corporation
Dec. 21, 2006
At the request of the AOGCC, BRP has undertaken an evaluation of wells with
appropriate logs to estimate water salinities in shallow sand intervals near exploration
wells which will be drilled by us in 2007. This analysis uses the so-called `Rwa Method'
to estimate water salinities. Techniques using wireline logs are described and illustrated
in "Survey of Methods to Determine Total Dissolved Solids Concentrations", a document
produced by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in 1989.
We used the Resistivity-Porosity technique, where measured resistivities and porosities
are used in the Archie equations to derive Total Dissolved Solids concentrations in
individual sands. Three wells in the vicinity of BRP's planned wells were chosen: Mobil
Gwydyr Bay St. Unit, Mobil Gwydyr Bay South, and Arco Kup River St. #1 (figure 1).
These wells are close to our wells and have suitable suites of wireline logs for the
analysis. We chose clean sands in the Ugnu and Colville Group that are found near the
base of the permafrost at depths of 2700' to 3900' subsea (figure 2).
The results of the analyses are shown in Table I. Four cases were calculated for each
sand; inputs to the Archie equation were varied. We used the standard Humble and
Tixier equations and calculated TDS concentrations which are, in some cases,
implausibly high (e.g. the Colville sand in Gwydyr Bay South). Because the shallow
sands are known from core to be partially to completely unconsolidated, we used an M of
1.5, and combined this with two `a' values, 0.81 from Tixier and a more standard value of
1.0. Results are highlighted in green and yellow. We believe this gives more reliable
results. I,~
~~•~~6
The Colville Group sands range from 11,500~ to 30,000 ppm TDS; the Ugnu sand gives
10,000 to 26,000 ppm TDS. These are brackish to marine waters, based on the calculated
salinities.
