In accordance with 20 AAC 25.540, notice of opportunity for a public hearing was published in the ANCHO1tAGE DAILY NEws on March 29, 2010, on the State of Alaska Online Notices on March 26, 2010, in the Arctic Sounder on April 1, 2010 and on the Commission's Web site on March 29, 2010. The scheduled hearing date was May 18, 2010. 3. The Commission received no comments, protests or requests for a public hearing. 4. The public hearing was held on May 18, 2010. 5. On June 17, 2010, the Commission requested additional information from the NSB. The NSB responded on July 6, 2010. 6. Information submitted by the NSB and public well history records are the basis for this order. FINDINGS: 1. Location of Well and Adjacent Wells (20 AAC 25.252(c)(1)) SB 13 was drilled and completed to a total measured depth of 2534' during December 1976 and January 1977.' This slanted well reached a maximum deviation of 14.5° from vertical. The surface location of the well is 552' from the south section line (FSL) and 807' from the west section line (FWL) of Section 14, Township 22N, Range 18W, Umiat Meridian (UM). The bottom-hole location is 528' FSL and 441' FWL, Section 14, Township 22N, Range 18W, UM. The plat included with the NSB's application indicates that there are no wells 1 All depths presented herein are measured depths within the SB 13 wellbore unless otherwise specified. • Disposal Injection Order 36 East Barrow Gas Field South Barrow No. 13 Well July 26, 2010 within a '/-mile radius of SB 13 about 1350' to the northwest. • Page 2 of 8 The nearest well is South Barrow NSB-O1, which lies 2. Notification of Operators/Surface Owners (20 AAC 25.252(c~2) and 20 AAC 25.252(c)(3)) The NSB is the only operator within a 1/-mile radius of the proposed disposal well. Ukpeagvik Inupiat Corporation (UIC) is the only surface owner within a 1/-mile radius of SB 13. NSB and UIC were both provided a copy of the application for disposal on or about February 24, 2010 according to the "Affidavit of Notice to Surface Owners and Operators" provided by NSB. 3. Geological Information on Disposal and Confining Intervals (20 AAC 25.252(c)(4)) The proposed disposal interval is the Barrow Sandstone, which is an informal member of the Kingak Formation. The Barrow Sandstone, which was deposited in a marine environment, consists of silty, very fine-to fine grained, moderately sorted sandstone that contains pyrite, siderite, glauconite, and calcite and is commonly interbedded with siltstone and shale. In SB 13, the existing perforations in the proposed injection interval are from 2315' to 2346' and 2356' to 2368'. In the South Barrow Gas Field, porosity for the Barrow Sandstone ranges from 8 to 32 percent, averages 22 percent, and has a median value of 25 percent. Permeability for the Barrow Sandstone ranges from 0 to 300 millidarcies, averages 48 millidarcies, and has a median value of 27 millidarcies. Approximately 60' of shale and siltstone of the Kingak Formation immediately overlying the Barrow Sandstone will provide upper confinement for injected fluids. Interpreted cross sections indicate this upper confining layer is laterally continuous across the South Barrow Gas Field. A structure map at the top of the Barrow Sandstone provided by the NSB2 indicates the presence of a small, down-to-the-south, normal fault immediately north of SB 13. However, vertical displacement along this fault in the vicinity of SB 13 appears to be about 20', so the 60-foot thick shale and siltstone confining interval will remain an effective top seal. Lower confinement will be provided by underlying Argillite basement rock. 4. Evaluation of Confining Intervals (20 AAC 25.252(c)(9)) A separate fracture stimulation model has not been prepared. The confining interval is judged to be adequate to prevent propagation of fractures through the overlying Kingak shale and siltstone confining layers based on the limited nature of the anticipated total disposal volume (between 30 to 50 thousand barrels of waste) and evidence indicating no problems were encountered during production well fracture stimulations or while conducting disposal operations in well South Barrow No. 5, as authorized by DIO 5,. 5. Standard Laboratory Water Analysis of the Formation (20 AAC 25.252(c)(10)); Aquifer Exemption (20 AAC 25.252(c~11)) Laboratory-measured total dissolved solids (TDS) concentrations were provided for a water sample from the Barrow Sandstone in the nearby South Barrow No. 7 well. This sample measured 16,157 milligrams per liter. An aquifer exemption is not necessary. z Revised Attachment 1F, submitted May 20, 2010 • • Disposal Injection Order 36 East Barrow Gas Field South Barrow No. 13 Well July 26, 2010 Page 3 of 8 Correlation Dephh Resis Porosity GR <MD ResD(ILD) RHOS 10 GAPI 240 .2 OHMM 2d0 .65 GAC3 2.6 and - Sitt -Shale -- - -- .2 OHMM 200 ow Poro SP T'~r'C.i ResS(LL6) NPOR 100 MV 100 .2 OHMM 20d .6 <M p DTCP(DT) 30 USIF 3 ~ ~;: -~uau - Pebble Shale ,' ~ ci ~''-~ k'.~~, L~ LU _ -2UliU <, 4 ~b ~+ q §Jr ~r R '_ 2l AO -27 UO , y , d -- ~ ~' ~°~~~ ~ .. ~x~.~~~em',, 22oa ' ~,,, ~1 ~f1 ,~ ttv, ;.

Demonstration of Mechanical Integrity and Disposal Interval Isolation (20 AAC 25.252(c)(6)) SB 13 was completed as a gas production well in January 1977. The well is deviated slightly to the west to a depth of 2534'; 20-inch conductor casing is set at 40' (40' true vertical depth, or TVD), 10-3/4-inch surface casing set at 1200' (1191' TVD), and 7-inch production casing set at 2500' (2458' TVD). The well is equipped with 2-7/8" tubing hung to 2394' (2314' TVD). The well is not equipped with a packer in accordance with Conservation Order 233. Both casing strings were cemented to surface. A cement bond log was run on the 7" production casing and is available in the Commission files. A review of the log indicates that the casing is satisfactorily cemented. Cumulative production from SB 13 was nearly 857 million cubic feet and the well produced gas continuously from September 1988 to July 2006. Prior to shut-in in mid 2006, the well rate declined to about 150 thousand cubic feet per day (mcf/d). In its July 6, 2010 response to Commission questions, the NSB indicated that SB 13 is a high-maintenance, poor performer that is subject to hydrate formation. Its limited production capacity no longer justifies the operational and maintenance efforts required to keep the well online. In addition, SB 13 is not connected to the limited road infrastructure, so ground access is only available during the winter season. The NSB requests a waiver to the mechanical integrity test requirements of 20 AAC 25.252 (d) and 20 AAC 25.412 (e) as allowed by 20 AAC 25.450 (a). The standard mechanical integrity test is not possible due to the absence of a packer. The NSB instead proposes daily monitoring of tubing and annulus pressures during the limited-duration injection operations, which are expected to occur during a single winter season. 8. Disposal Fluid Type Composition Source Volume, and Compatibility with Disposal Zone (20 AAC 25.252(c)(7)) SB 13 will be one of two disposal wells planned to support the NSB's 2011- 2012 well work program. The NSB intends to use SB 13 to dispose of drilling, production, completion, and workover wastes originating from exploration and development well activities in the East Barrow, South Barrow and Walakpa gas fields on the North Slope. The NSB projects the waste disposal volume to be between 30 and 50 thousand barrels. The NSB estimates the daily injection volume will average 1000 barrels per day, with injection rates between 2 and 7 barrels per minute. Information provided by the NSB demonstrates the fluids to be disposed are compatible with the disposal zone. • • Disposal Injection Order 36 East Barrow Gas Field Page 5 of 8 South Barrow No. 13 Well July 26, 2010 9. Estimated Injection Pressures (20 AAC 25.252(c)(8)) The NSB estimates that the surface injection pressure will vary between 400 and 800 psig. The maximum pressure encountered while stimulating SB 13 was 1300 psi. The injection pump has a 3000 psig working pressure and is equipped with a 2400 psig pressure safety relief valve. 10. Mechanical Condition of Wells Penetrating_the Disposal Zone Within %-Mile of SB 13 (20 AAC 25.252(c (~ 12)) There are no wells within a'/-mile radius of SB 13. 11. Underground Injection Control Variances (20 AAC 25.450) Regulation 20 AAC 25.450(a) allows the Commission to authorize less stringent requirements for casing and cementing, tubing and packer mechanical integrity, operation and monitoring, provided that the reduction in requirements will not result in an increased risk of movement of fluids into freshwater. CONCLUSIONS: 1. The requirements and conditions for approval of an underground disposal application in 20 AAC 25.252 are met. 2. Disposal injection of Class II wastes into the Barrow Sandstone in the SB 13 well will not cause waste. 3. The proposed Barrow Sandstone disposal interval is sufficiently porous, permeable, and thick to receive the proposed volume of injected wastes. Overlying and underlying strata will be effective, waste-confining barriers. 4. Fluid compatibility is not an issue for the proposed, limited disposal operations within SB 13. 5. All water within the Barrow Sandstone exceeds 10,000 milligrams per liter TDS. Therefore, there is no possibility of contamination of freshwater. 6. Despite the absence of fresh water, it is appropriate to demonstrate that the SB 13 wellbore has mechanical integrity and that injected fluids will be confined to the intended receiving zone. 7. Supplemental mechanical integrity demonstrations and the surveillance of injection operations-including temperature surveys, monitoring of injection performance (i. e., pressures and rates), and analyses of the data for indications of anomalous events-establish sufficient mechanical integrity to demonstrate that fluids will not move behind casing beyond the approved disposal zone. NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED THAT disposal injection is authorized into the Barrow Sandstone within SB 13 subject to each of the following requirements: RULE 1: Infection Strata for Disposal The underground disposal of Class II well oil field waste fluids is permitted into the Barrow Sandstone within SB 13 between the measured depths of 2300 feet and the total depth of the • • Disposal Injection Order 36 East Barrow Gas Field South Barrow No. 13 Well July 26, 2010 Page 6 of 8 well. The Commission may immediately suspend, revoke, or modify this authorization if injected fluids fail to be confined by the upper or lower confining zones. RULE 2: Fluids This authorization is limited to Class II oil field waste fluids generated during drilling, production or workover operations including plugging. This authorization DOES NOT include domestic waste water. RULE 3: Demonstration of Mechanical Integrity The operator shall run a baseline temperature log and perform a baseline step-rate test at the planned waste disposal pumping rates prior to initial waste injection. A subsequent temperature log must be run after the step-rate test to confirm confinement of the injected fluids. The operator shall submit this information and their assessment of the information to the Commission prior to commencement of disposal injection operations. RULE 4: Infection Rate and Pressure No waste disposal is permitted until the Commission determines the maximum pumping rate and pressure. Maximum pumping rate and pressure will be subsequently authorized according to the information determined in Rule 3. Once allowable rate and pressure are determined, surface pressures and rates must be monitored continuously during injection for any indications of anomalous conditions. Results of daily wellhead pressure observations in SB 13 must be documented and available to the Commission upon request. The conduct of subsequent temperature surveys or other surveillance logging (e.g., water flow, acoustic) will be based on the results of the initial and follow-up temperature surveys and injection performance monitoring data. RULE 5: Well Integrity Failure and Confinement If pressure communication, leakage or lack of injection zone isolation is indicated in any way - by injection rate, operating pressure observation, test, survey, log, or any other evidence -the operator shall immediately notify the Commission and submit a plan of corrective action on Form 10-403 for Commission approval. The operator shall immediately shut in the well if continued operation would be unsafe, inconsistent with sound geoscience or engineering principles, result in waste or threaten contamination of freshwater, or if so directed by the Commission. A monthly report of daily tubing and casing annuli pressures and injection rates must be provided to the Commission for SB 13 indicating any well integrity failure or lack of injection zone isolation. RULE 6: Surveillance A report evaluating the performance of the disposal operation must be submitted to the Commission by July 1 of each year. The report shall include data sufficient to characterize the disposal operation, including, among other information, the following: injection and annuli pressures (daily average, maximum and minimum); fluid volumes injected (disposal and clean fluid sweeps); injection rates; an assessment of fracture geometry; a description of any anomalous injection results; and a calculated zone of influence for the injection fluids. Wellhead pressures shall be monitored daily. Pressure records shall be made available for inspection upon Commission request.

Complying with the notificatio agency remains the operator's responsibility. Commission if it learns of any improper Class II n requirements of any other local, state or federal RULE 8: Administrative Action Unless notice and public hearing are otherwise required, the Commission may administratively waive or amend any rule stated above as long as the change does not promote waste or jeopardize correlative rights, is based on sound engineering and geoscience principles, and will not result in fluid movement outside of the authorized injection zone. RULE 9: Compliance Operations must be conducted in accordance with the requirements of this order, AS 31.05, and (unless specifically superseded by Commission order) 20 AAC 25. Noncompliance may result in the suspension, revocation, or modification of this authorization. ENTERED at Anchorage, Alaska, an RECONSIDERATION AND APPEAL NOTICE As provided in AS 31.05.080(a), within 20 days after written notice of the entry of this order or decision, or such further time as the Commission grants for good cause shown, a person affected by it may file with the Commission an application for reconsideration of the matter determined by it. If the notice was mailed, then the period of time shall be 23 days. An application for reconsideration must set out the respect in which the order or decision is believed to be erroneous. The Commission shall grant or refuse the application for reconsideration in whole or in part within 10 days after it is filed. Failure to act on it within 10-days is a denial of reconsideration. If the Commission denies reconsideration, upon denial, this order or decision and the denial of reconsideration are FINAL and may be appealed to superior court. The appeal MUST be filed within 33 days after the date on which the Commission mails, OR 30 days if the Commission otherwise distributes, the order or decision denying reconsideration, UNLESS the denial is by inaction, in which case the appeal MUST be filed within 40 days after the date on which the application for reconsideration was filed. If the Commission grants an application for reconsideration, this order or decision does not become final. Rather, the order or decision on reconsideration will be the FINAL order or decision of the Commission, and it may be appealed to superior court. That appeal MUST be filed within 33 days after the date on which the Commission mails, OR 30 days if the Commission otherwise distributes, the order or decision on reconsideration. As provided in AS 31.05.080(b), "[t]he questions reviewed on appeal are limited to the questions presented to the Commission by the application for reconsideration." In computing a period of time above, the date of the event or default after which the designated period begins to run is not included in the period; the last day of the period is included, unless it falls on a weekend or state holiday, in which event the period runs until 5:00 p.m. on the next day that does not fall on a weekend or state holiday. • Mary Jones David McCaleb Cindi Walker XTO Energy, Inc.

In general, both wells are not capable cf commercial production. The periods they were used in the past were for emergencies only and typically they are more trouble and expense to keep maintained and producing than the benefit of the small production. For low rate wells to be produced, there is a maintenance and operation costs that do not justify the time and expense for the gas. P7ells produced in the Barrow gas fields are susceptible to hydrate plugging and require continuous methanol. injection to prevent freeze up and a slugging of methanol when pe.-formance falls due to hydrate formation. In the winter, when the need is greatest for gas in the Barrow Fields, staff being able to service wells is at a premium, so low rate wells are rot given much priority. Typically, wells that produce less than 200 mcf/d are considered more operational trouble than they are worth. Lcw rate wells that are spread out, isolated and not easily accessible by road cannot be produced in the summer and are too much trouble to produce in the o-:irter.

The basic premise is that the wells are uneconomic to produce and will be plugged and abandoned when the equipment spread is in Barrow in 2011-2012. This is true regardless of whether the wells are used for disposal or not. Two new horizontal high-capacity wells are planned in East Barrow. Both EB 15 and SB 13 are very poor producers at best. Bill Van Dyke Petrotechnical Resources Alaska (PRA) 907.982.2019 (cell) -----Original Message----- From: Roby, David S (DOA) [mailto:dave.rob a alaska.€,ov] Sent: Thu 6/17/2010 12:44 PM To: William Van Dyke Cc: Davies, Stephen F (DOA); Maunder, Thomas E (DOA); Schwartz, Guy L (DOA) Subject: Questions concerning NSB's Barrow DIO requests Hi Bill, I have been reviewing the available information from the AOGCC files, the DIO applications and the testimony presented at the hearing. It appears there are several information inconsistencies on the two wells proposed to be converted to disposal wells that makes evaluation of the NSB's proposal difficult. Here is a list of my determinations and some follow-up questions. 1) No specific information is provided to support the claim that the SB-13 and EB-15 wells are depleted. Both wells had produced at a relatively consistent rate for a number of years prior to being shut-in. Several sources suggest these wells had essentially watered out, yet no water production`was reported to the AOGCC fo~ither well for several years prior to shut-in. a) Cumulative production for SB-13, from July 1978 through July 2006 when it last produced, was approximately 856 mmcf. Production ranged from 172 to 129 mcfpd for the last full year of regular production (from April 2005 to March 2006) prior to shut-in during July 2006. b) Cumulative production for EB-15, from December 1981 through May 1993 when it last produced, was approximately 730 mmcf. Production was typically in the 120 to 180 mcfpd range beginning in about June 1987 until the well until shut-in during June 1993. c) SB-13 reported no water production from October 1993 until shut-in. d) EB-15 reported essentially no water production from April 1988 until shut-in. 2) It is claimed that SB-13 is in an isolated fault block with the NSB-02 well yet there is an engineering memoranda related to backpressure and drawdown analyses for the subject well conducted July 20-23, 1978, which states: "[t]he formation appears to be partially drained by the existing wells as is evidenced by the shut-in reservoir pressure of 859 psia which is about 240 psi lower than the initial reservoir pressure." Additionally, during testimony at the hearing Mr. Stokes stated that pressure in the fault block was calculated to be 758 psi from a pressure buildup test in the NSB-02 well in 2006. However, a pressure buildup test in the SB-13 well that was conducted on August 27, 1987, estimated reservoir pressure at 631 psi. 3) There has been about 1.5 BCF produced from the fault block that contains the SB-13 well, which with the approximately 140 psi pressure drop reported by the NSB would indicate that approximately 1 BCF of gas could be produced for every 100 psi pressure drop. Given this, and the lack of reported water production that would indicate aquifer influx, there appear to be several BCF of remaining reserves, not the less than 1 BCF as testified to by Mr. Stokes at the hearing, in this fault block yet the NSB proposes to convert one of the two wells to a disposal well and to abandon both wells as part of the upcoming operations. 4) The initial pressure in the EB-15 well was approximately 960 psi, which is consistent with the initial pool pressure. Currently recorded pool pressure is approximately 935 psi and building over time according to Mr. Stokes testimony. This is being attributed to disassociation of gas from a hydrate layer in the upper part of the reservoir, as such it is very difficult to estimate with any certainty what are the gas reserves in this portion of the reservoir. 5) According to a December 1998 report prepared by Travis/Peterson Environmental Consulting, Inc, titled "Proposed South Barrow Gas Well No. 15 Deep Injection Well Pre-Feasibility Study" it is believed that the well is "separated from the rest of the wells by a series of faults and folds." As such the EB-15 might be the only well capable of recovering the gas in this portion of the field. 6) The On page 4 of the report mentioned in item 5 above it states "[t]he well produces low quantities of natural gas with some water and oil." As previously stated, the production reports submitted by the NSB to the AOGCC show no water production from this well for several years prior to it being shut-in, it also never reported ar squid hydrocarbon • production. 7) Mr. Stokes mentioned a 2006 reserves study for the Barrow Gas Fields but the Commission has not been provided with this. Would you please: 1) Provide a copy of the 2006 reserves study that was undertaken by PRA for the NSB beginning in 2005 and the pressure data that was collected in 2006 that Mr. Stokes mentioned during his testimony. 2) Address Items 1 through 6, above, as you provide detailed explanations, along with supporting documentation, for the following questions: a) Why were SB-13 and EB-15 shut-in? b) Do you believe that the 1987 pressure survey in the SB-13 well does not provide and accurate reservoir pressure or has the reservoir seen some recharge since that time possibly from water encroachment or hydrate disassociation as is believed to be occurring in the East Barrow reservoir? c) Why are these wells considered to have watered-out? Was any produced. water not reported to AOGCC? d) Why are SB-13 and EB-15 considered good candidates for conversion to disposal operations? e) Are these wells good candidates for fracture or acid stimulation? What about the other production wells? f) Why won't these conversions waste reserves? g) Was there any liquid hydrocarbon production from the EB-15 well. Sorry I did not bring this to your attention prior to the hearing, but a family issue prevented me from completing my review at that time.

I understand that the applications are referred to as Dockets DIO 10-01 and 10-02. Also enclosed are revised copies of two of the Attachments included in our original application. Attachment 12 is a Google Earth satellite image showing the two water lagoons that are used for sources. of public drinking water and the locations of the South Field and East Field. Attachment 13 is an aerial photo taken from the BUECI web site showing the southern of the two water lagoons which is labeled Isatkoak Reservoir on the photo. Attachment 14 is another satellite image showing the Isatkoak Reservoir and the South Field location. The two lagoons are the public drinking water sources for the community of Barrow. Water from the lagoons is filtered and processed before it is distributed to the community. The revised copy of Attachments 1F corrects the label on that attachment and the revised copy of Attachment 3 adds the SB 10 well location to the plat. At the hearing Commissioner Norman asked what specific waivers the NSB was requesting. In addition to the waiver to not require packers in the wells and to not require pressure testing of the tubing by casing annuli, we are also requesting a waiver to operate both disposal wells without packers. I believe this is understood, but I wanted to reiterate the request again here to make sure the Commission considers the request. If you have any questions please contact me at 907-982-2019.

LOWE: My name is Dan Lowe, I'm a drilling consultant ING 05/18/10 ~ xnnax(ziz> Page 9 _____ (~) with the North Slope Borough. And just a brief background, the (2) purpose of what we're trying to do here is drill six new (3) development gas wells and two in the East Barrow Gas Field and (a) four in the Walakpa Field. This is basically driven by a (s) supply demand issue for, you know, the Borough. I think that (s) right now they believe their peak deliverable is 800 million (~) cubic feet a day and I think the peak load they have seen on (a) one or two occasions during not this winter, but past winter, (s) was above 7, perhaps even 7.5. So the feeling is it's time for (~o) some additional production. And some of the other wells, of (i~) course, have depleted out and need repair. There is -- what (12) happens in these fields, there's actually three separate (i3) fields, the South Barrow Field originally discovered by the (ia) Navy and then the East Barrow Field which was an extension of (is) that discovered by the Navy and then the Walakpa Field to the (~s) south, discovered by Husky Oil in 1980 and '81, I forget. But, (i~) you know, so what has happened to the development is they will (~e) have a drilling period and then hopefully they'll go for 15, 20 (is) years and have adequate supply before they bring another rig to (20) the fields and do any more drilling. And that's -- so that's (21) what's driving this right now. (22} Our strategy a little different from the past, we want to (z3> drill horizontal wells, roughly 1,500 foot laterals, try to get (za) more production and more stable production. And then the - of (2s) course, the need for cuttings and liquid and mud disposal, Nage i u (~) that's our, you know, one key expense and thing that has to be (2) done and the Borough, they do want to live with the standards, (3) of course, that they impose on industry or help to impose on (a) industry. And, you know, the goal is to run, you know, a safe (s) professional operation just like, you know, the -- any of the (s) major operators would on the North Slope. (~) And the key thing, I think our strategy is both the (s) horizontal wells that we want to drill and also to keep our (s) cuttings as clean as possible which, you know, my goal is just (~o) drill it with a water base mud with some brines. Everybody (i1) wants to put in lubricants if it gets tough drilling, but that (12) will be the ultimate last result or last thing that, you know, (i3) I personally want to see. (~a> So that's -- you know, that's the project, the one thing, (is> the timing, it's been pushed back by a year, it'll be the 2011 (~s) that we move the right to Barrow and then we will be done -- (i~) you know, we'll drill over the winter of 2011, 2012, demobe (ia) from the field in the following summer of 2012. (~s) CHAIR SEAMOUNT: Thank you, Mr. Lowe. Commissioner (20) Foerster, do you have any questions? (21) COMMISSIONER FOERSTER: While you're out there are you (22) going to be doing any other work on any of your other wells? (23) MR. LOWE: Yes, there's quite a few candidates, you know, (2a) the old wells have been picked for P&A, PP&A, and they'll be (zs) some -- you know, there's some pipeline work they want to do, Page 7 to Page 10 Bsa = PUB_LIC_ HEARING 05/18/10 xMAx(3i3) Page 11 Page 13 (i) we'll be putting in -- of course, we'll be hooking up the new (z) facilities, you know, more than just drilling. (3) COMMISSIONER FOERSTER: Are these the wells that you (4) inherited or you received from the BLM? (s) MR. LOWE: Yes. (s) COMMISSIONER FOERSTER: Okay. And a lot of those ar just (~) (s> (9) (~o) (>>) (12) (13) (14) (15) (16) (») (~ s) (is) (zo) (zi ) (22) (23) (za) (zs) in need of elimination? MR. LOWE: Yes. Well, you know, the thing is, the -- because there's no workover rig around and it costs as much to mobilize a drilling rig as it does a workover rig up there, the wellbores themselves are, in my opinion, quite precious and if they're all of any use we need to look hard at that. In looking through some of these, Iknow - I worked for Husky 30 years ago when I got out of school and they were doing the primarily the exploration drilling that was going on in NPRA at the time. So if you look at the casing designs on these little baby 2,200 foot gas wells, they've got some, you know, very stout, good -- you know, good, high quality thick pipe that you wouldn't typically see in a, you know, little gas field. COMMISSIONER FOERSTER: We're involved in an effort statewide to eliminate idle wellbores with no future utility or no -- get rid of wells before they become orphans and we're plodding through, but you're in - on our list and we will be getting in touch with you. MR. LOWE: We should be. Page 12 (i) COMMISSIONER FOERSTER: Yeah. Okay. (2) CHAIR SEAMOUNT: Anything else? (3) COMMISSIONER FOERSTER: Not at this time. (a) CHAIR SEAMOUNT: Commissioner Norman. (s> COMMISSIONER NORMAN: Just, you know, listening to Mr. (s) Lowe, it does occur to me there were some factual statements (~) made and I think it might be advisable for the record to have (a) Mr. Lowe put under oath and then ask him if he would (s) acknowledge that everything he has said is true and correct to (io) the best of his knowledge and so forth. Sorry for that, Mr. (i i) Lowe..... (iz) MR. LOWE: Yeah, no problem. (i3) COMMISSIONER NORMAN: .....but we didn't know quite what (14) you were going to say..... (is> MR. LOWE: Right. No, I understand. (~s) COMMISSIONER NORMAN: .....but you got into some specific (i~) representations of facts so we would like that on the record. (is) CHAIR SEAMOUNT: Is there anything else? Okay. Mr. Lowe, (~s) please raise your right hand. (zo) (Oath administered) (z~) MR. LOWE: Yes. (zz) CHAIR SEAMOUNT: Thank you, Mr. Lowe. The only questions (23) I have, I -how many wells did you say you were going to (za) drill? (zs> MR. LOWE: Well, it's budget driven, but our goal is for (i) six wells..... (2) CHAIR SEAMOUNT: Six. (3) MR. LOWE: .....two in the East Field and four in the (a) Walakpa Field. (s) CHAIR SEAMOUNT: And I assume they're all less than 3,000 (s) feet? (~) MR.

And then I thought I heard you say (12) the potential production is 800 million cubic feet a day? (is) MR. LOWE: From the current wells, yes. (ia) MR. VAN DYKE: Eight million. (i5) MR. LOWE: Oh, did I saw 800 million. (~s) COMMISSIONER FOERSTER: You said 800 million. (i~) MR. LOWE: Excuse me. (~s) CHAIR SEAMOUNT: Okay. Unless there's any more comments, (is) Mr. Walsh. (zo) COMMENTS BY MR. WALSH (21) MR. WALSH: Thank you, Chairman Seamount. Commissioner (22) Foerster and Commissioner Norman, good morning. My -- I'm Tom (23) Walsh, I'm a Geophysicist and Managing Partner of (za) Petrotechnical Resources of Alaska, an integrated oil and gas (zs) consulting company here in Anchorage, Alaska operating since Page 14 (~) 1997. (2) I'll keep my comments brief, I just want to give you a (3) little bit of an update for our relationship with the North (a) Slope Borough. We are consulting, as Mr. Van Dyke pointed out, (s) for the North Slope Borough on this drilling and abandonment (s) effort for the 2011/'12 season. We have been involved with the (~) North Slope Borough in helping them to manage their Barrow Gas (a) Fields since about 2006. In some of the studies we've (s) undertaken our remaining reserves estimation, well remediatio (~o) plan for some of these derelict wells, hydrate studies for (ii) potential hydrates associated with the Barrow Gas Fields, (12) drilling design and operations for new development wells and (13) working with the Borough on lease agreements associated with (ia) the exploration program that ConocoPhillips carried out severa (~s) years ago. (16) We'd like to just point out one other individual that is (i~) with PRA that is here today, Peter Stokes is with us and he ma (~s) be called upon to provide expert witness testimony as well if (is) needed. (zo) And I believe that's it. Thank you for the opportunity to (zi) be here today. (zz> CHAIR SEAMOUNT: Thank you, Mr. Walsh and welcome, M r. (23> Stokes. Commissioner Norman, any questions? (za) COMMISSIONER NORMAN: No questions. (zs) CHAIR SEAMOUNT: Commissioner Foerster? Nage i i to rage ~ 4 asA ~ PUBLIC HEAR Page 15 (i) COMMISSIONER FOERSTER: Not at this time. (2) CHAIR SEAMOUNT: Okay. Thank you, Mr. Walsh. Who's next? (s) TESTIMONY OF WILLIAM VAN DYKE (CONTINUED) (a) MR. VAN DYKE: Mr. Chairman, I'll start out. Bill Van (s> Dyke with PRA. Today we'll present a discussion of our (s) application. We would ask that our application as submitted be (~) made part of the public record. The application as submitted (a) had no confidential information included in it. As noted we've (s) had a year push back in the project so the dates in the (io> application, you know, as far as our -- when we'll be (~i) mobilizing and demobilizing, when we'll actually be operating (iz> the disposal wells. Those dates get pushed back one year. (~s) CHAIR SEAMOUNT: Okay. And your application's (ia) automatically in the record. (i5> MR. VAN DYKE: All right. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. There (is) are pool rules for the Barrow Gas Fields, it's Conservation (») Order 233 for the Barrow Gas Fields, East Field and South Field (ia) and Conservation Order 274 for Walakpa Field. There's also an (is) existing disposal injection order and that's DIO No. 5, that (zo) was for a disposal well that was utilized during one of the (21> previous campaigns, same idea then as we have in mind now, to (22) dispose of liquid wastes. (zs) We'll go through the application just section by section, (za) give an overview, reference some of the exhibits, if that's (25) okay with you. We don't have a Powerpoint slide, we don't have Page 16 (i) separate written testimony to submit, we'll use the application (2) as the guideline. And there's a - we submitted our cover - (s) the application had a cover letter from the North Slope Borough (a) and then immediately following the cover letter there was a (s) discussion of the approval criteria and that's the guide we'll (s> use today for today's hearing. (~> Our application is for approval of two Class II disposal (a) wells, we plan -- as stated we plan to convert two existing (s) inactive gas wells to disposal wells, those are South Barrow 13 (io) and East Barrow 15 wells. You'll notice in some of the (i i) literature that East Barrow 15 well is referred to as the South (t2) Barrow 15 well. The naming convention up there got a bit (is) confused over the years, but there are two fields, South Barrow (~a) and East Barrow, and we try to call the wells in the South (is) Field South Barrow wells and the wells in the East Barrow Field (~s> East Barrow wells. (i~) We don't plan to utilize our disposal wells for a long (ia) period of time, this is, you know, different that Kuparuk or (~s) Prudhoe Bay or some of the Cook Inlet operations, we'll just be (zo) using the disposal well while a rig is in the field, basically, (z1) you know, less than a 12 month period. Probably it'll be (2z) active for no more than eight months. (23) We don't plan to have a grind and inject facility on site. (za) If we do -- well, we just don't plan to have one right now, we (zs) don't -we're looking at other options and feel we have other ING 05/18/10 ~_ XMAX(4/a) Page 17 (i) good options for disposal of cuttings. So we're looking to (z) dispose of about 30,000 barrels of liquid. If we have to have (s) a grind and inject plant on site that number would probably go (a) up to about 50,000 barrels of liquid and slurry cuttings. So (s) we would be asking for if there is a limitation placed on these (s> wells that it be at least 50,000 barrels. (~) Likewise if there's a limitation placed on the wells for a (a) time period of operation, we would ask fora 12 month season to (s) operate the disposal wells. And that would be of actual (10> disposal operations rather than any pretesting for injection (~i) tests or anything like that, but actually a 12 month period of (12> actual operation of the disposal wells. (is) Section 2 of the discussion is the burden of proof. We (~a> feel like we have met the burden of proof to protect the public (is) interest, we don't feel like oil field waste would travel into (is) other formations other than the Barrow sands, we feel it would (i~) be isolated to the Barrow sands and the oil field waste would (ia) not move into sources of fresh water. In addition there are no (~s> commercial hydrocarbon bearing zones either above or below the (zo> Barrow sand. (21) We submitted Section 3 of the approval criteria, is a (22) location map, plat maps or attachments 2, 3 and 3A are plat (23) maps that show the wells and the fields. Attachment 2 shows (za) both the East Field and the South Field and the wells in those (2s) fields. Page 18 (i) Attachment 3 is a plat that shows a close up of the South (2) Barrow Field. I will note that there's a well missing on that (s) map, that layer must not have been turned on, I just noticed (a) there's a well, South Barrow 10, that just didn't print out on (s> that map. tt's about a half mile away from the proposed (s) disposal well. We can get you a revised attachment 3 to our (~) application with that well on there. It's about half a mile (e) north of the disposal well, of well South Barrow 13. And (s) that's attachment 3 to the application, we'll get you a revised (io) copy. (i1) And then attachment 3A is East Field close up of the (i2) proposed disposal well which is up at the top of the page and (13) then attachment 3A also shows the wells that Mr. Lowe spoke to, (~a> the two new horizontal wells and they are the -- shows the (is) proposed well paths for those two new proposed wells. And they (is) are nowhere near the proposed disposal well. (i~) Section 4 of the approval criteria was the operator and (~s> surface owners, identification of those surface owner is UIC (is) and the mineral state owner and the operator is the North Slope (zo) Borough. (2i) Section 5 of the approval criteria was providing an (22) affidavit of notice to the surface owners and the operators, (23) that affidavit was included in the application and I can submit (2a) today copies of the FedEx notification that the applications (25) were served to both UIC and the North Slope Borough by FedEx Page 15 to Page 18 ssA ~ PUBLIC HEAR Page 19 - (i) delivery. (2) And that leaves one of the more technical sections, that's (3) the geologic report and the wells logs and Ms. McMullen is (a) going to cover that area. (s) CHAIR SEAMOUNT: Commissioner Norman, do you have any (s) questions? (~) COMMISSIONER NORMAN: Does ASRC have any, Arctic Slope (s) Regional Corporation have any position in this area? (s) MR. VAN DYKE: Commissioner Norman, not in this immediate (io> area, not in the three gas fields..... (i~) COMMISSIONER NORMAN: Yeah. (~z) MR. VAN DYKE: .....but they do have a position to the (i 3) south..... (ia) COMMISSIONER NORMAN: Yeah. (15) MR. VAN DYKE: .....and I think the map makers map that (~s) you have here would..... (») COMMISSIONER NORMAN: Yeah. (ia> MR. VAN DYKE: .....would show that. (is> COMMISSIONER NORMAN: Okay. (zo) CHAIR SEAMOUNT: Commissioner Foerster? (21> COMMISSIONER FOERSTER: I have a couple questions. What (zz> is your plan if you don't use a grind inject, what is your plan (23) for your solids? (za) MR. VAN DYKE: First and foremost, we hope to keep our (zs) cuttings very clean and we -we're 99.9 percent sure that we Page 20 (~) can dispose of clean cuttings in the North Slope Borough (2) landfill..... (3) COMMISSIONER FOERSTER: Okay. (a) MR. VAN DYKE: .....the Barrow landfill. (s> COMMISSIONER FOERSTER: Okay. My second question is when (s) you talk about not damaging any fresh groundwaters, have you (~) done any simulation runs on injecting in any wells in this - (s) in either of these reservoirs? (s) MR. VAN DYKE: Commissioner Foerster, we discuss that in (io) the application, but the short answer is we have not -PRA (>>) does not have a fracture simulator and we have not contracted (iz) with a third party to run fracture simulations, but I do have (13) some examples of operations in the Barrow Fields that are - (~a) where wells were acid stimulated or fractured or the SB 5 well (is) which was used as a disposal well. (is) COMMISSIONER FOERSTER: Okay. Well, in other wells that (i~) were fractured, were simulations done to design those (is) fractures? (is) MR. VAN DYKE: There was a -Commissioner Foerster, there (zo) was a service company write-up, you know, a prefrac job (2>> description, but I'm not -- I'm not sure that was - I would (22) call that a fracture simulation in the - in the same terms (z3) that I've seen in recent time, the fracture stimulation designs (za> that are run. (zs) COMMISSIONER FOERSTER: So there was no simulation design ING 05/18/10 ~ XMAX(5/s) Page 21 (~) that we typically see that models the pressures and the..... (z) MR. VAN DYKE: Commissioner Foerster, no. (3) COMMISSIONER FOERSTER: Okay. (a) MR. VAN DYKE: There was apost-fracture analysis, you (s) know, that calculated out the fracture length was about 50 (s) feet..... (~) COMMISSIONER FOERSTER: And did it..... (a) MR. VAN DYKE: .....you know, in a well that was (s) fractured. (~o) COMMISSIONER FOERSTER: .....did it calculate a frac (ii) height? (12) MR. VAN DYKE: No, it did not. (13) COMMISSIONER FOERSTER: Okay. So -- okay. But did the (~a) frac appear to stay in zone, did -- was there any analysis that (~s) could support that a fracture didn't grow into freshwaters or (is> anything? (») MR. VAN DYKE: Commissioner Foerster, there was no (ia) evidence that the fracture grew out of zone or that there was (~s) any problems with the wellbore or the wellbore construction. (zo) COMMISSIONER FOERSTER: Okay. (21) MR. VAN DYKE: It..... (22) COMMISSIONER FOERSTER: You understand what I'm fishing (23) for? (za) MR. VAN DYKE: Yeah. The fracture was operational, it wa (zs> a -- it was one of those operations that was a technical Page 22 (~) success, but it probably was not an economic success, you know, (2) the well had not produced at all before and it -- after frac it (3) produced at a very marginal rate at best. (a) COMMISSIONER FOERSTER: Okay. Thank you. (s) CHAIR SEAMOUNT: Commissioner Norman. (s) COMMISSIONER NORMAN: Mr. Van Dyke, if you -- where is the (~) nearest offtake point for fresh water utilized by the public in (a) that area, Barrow, Wainwright or other, if you know? (s) MR. VAN DYKE: Commissioner Norman, it would be surface (~o) water in Barrow and I don't know exactly which -- where that (~~) is. We could chase that down for you if you would like. (12) COMMISSIONER NORMAN: Well, as you know that's an (13) important responsibility of ours to protect freshwater so that (~a) would be appreciated if you could after the hearing, we could (is) leave the record open if you. could let us know where the (is) closest offtake point is for freshwater. (») MR. VAN DYKE: Will do. (~a) COMMISSIONER NORMAN: That's all. (is) CHAIR SEAMOUNT: Thank you. Mr. Van Dyke, according to (zo) our production records the number 15 well was producing 160 mcf j (21) a day when it was shut-in which -- I mean, that's within the i (zz) same order of magnitude as the other producers in the field. (23) Is -are any of the wells planned to be drilled going to (za> somewhat offset this well? (zs) MR. VAN DYKE: Mr. Chairman, for the EB 15 well we plan to _ _. __ __ Page 19 to Page 22 BSA (i) (2) (3) (4) (5) (s) (~) (a> (9) (~o) (>>) ;~ z) a (13) (ia) (15) (is) (») (~s) (i s) (zo) or (21) (22) to (23) wait..... (2a) CHAIR SEAMOUNT: Okay. (2s) COMMISSIONER FOERSTER addressed. Page 24 ci) CHAIR SEAMOUNT: Okay. Is it Ms. McMullen's turn? (2) TESTIMONY OF BARB McMULLEN (CONTINUED) (3) MS. McMULLEN: Okay. Commissioners, I'm just going to go (a) over the geology section here of 6 and the well section on 7. (s) As pointed out earlier we have the two candidates for disposal, (s> SB 13 and East Barrow 15, again located in separate gas fields. (~) The South Barrow 13 is in the South Barrow Gas Field and as (s) labeled typically SB 15 is in the East Barrow Gas Field. Our (s) proposed disposal interval is the Barrow sandstone and in these (~o) wells, it's located at a depth where the sands are either water (ii) wet or gas depleted. And neither well is any longer producing l~z; gas. South Barrow 13 is located in an isolated fault block (13) with one other well, NSB 02, and both wells right now are (ta) planned for P&A after this drilling campaign is over. And SB (is) 13 is a structurally lower well. South Barrow or East Barrow (1s) 15 is structurally the deepest well in the East Barrow Field (i~) and it is on the northern flank of the field. Both of our new (~s) wells that we plan to drill will be going due south and due (is) east, so the opposite direction from where this injection - (20> disposal injection well is going to be used. (2i) The geology of both gas fields is well understood due to (2z) good well control, core and log data and 2-D seismic in the (23) area. Reservoir properties and the lateral continuity of (2a) reservoir sands are well documented. The geologic report (2s> describing the proposed injection interval and confining layers ING 05/18/10 xnnAx(sis> Page 25 (i) is provided in this attachment 1 here along with a lot of the (2) graphics and maps. (3) And I would like to point out in attachment 1 S, it is (a) mislabeled, it should be the - it's a structure map, it should (s) be the top of the upper Barrow sandstone and not the Walakpa (s) sandstone. Do you need an additional map with the title change (~) or is that something that - on the record now that's..... (a) CHAIR SEAMOUNT: I would think we should. (s) COMMISSIONER FOERSTER: Okay. (to) CHAIR SEAMOUNT: Or we shouldn't? (ti) COMMISSIONER FOERSTER: Well, I was thinking we could just (iz) scratch it out and write the right name. (~3) CHAIR SEAMOUNT: Is that legal, Mr. Assistant Attorney (ia) General? (is) MR. BALLENTINE: I didn't hear the proposal. (is> CHAIR SEAMOUNT: Commissioner Foerster's proposal was to (i~) hand correct the error on one of the maps that the applicant (~s) supplied, I -- we do that with..... (is) MR. BALLENTINE: It might be better if the applicant..... (20) CHAIR SEAMOUNT: It would be better if the applicant did (21) it? (22) MR. BALLENTINE: Yeah. (23> CHAIR SEAMOUNT: Why don't you hand scratch it? (za) MS. McMULLEN: Okay. All right. The Barrow sandstone (2s) averages about 100 gross feet in this area and is comprised on Page 26 (t) consolidated sands and shales. The sands contain relatively (2) low porosity values, anywhere from 4 to about 24 percent and (3) permeability values are under about 400 millidarcies. And also (a) note for the purposes of this report the Walakpa sandstone is (s) included in the pool here in the Barrow -- with the Barrow (s) sandstone in the South Field, even though the Walakpa sand is (~) about 100 vertical feet above it. So part of the pool, that (s) Walakpa sand's in there. And that particular sand at South (s) Barrow does have perforations, but in the East Barrow Field the (to) Walakpa sands are not perforated. (ii) Structurally the Barrow sandstone is encountered around (~2) 2,000 feet subsea and faulting is minor in both fields and (13) reservoir structure therefore is relatively uncomplicated. The (ia) Barrow sandstone lies between two substantial confining layers (is) and it is capped by about 1,000 feet of permafrost. The base (is) permafrost is estimated at a minimum depth of about 1,000 feet (t~> subsea and that is based on temperature surveys in these wells. (is) Beneath the permafrost a thick sequence of about 1,000 feet of (is) lateral extensive cretaceous shales and sand stringers act as a (20> confining cap for the disposal interval. No commercial (21) hydrocarbons are found above the Walakpa sandstone. And again (22) note that the Walakpa sandstone in South Barrow is perforated. (23) And below the Barrow sandstone a relatively thin sequence, (2a) about 50 to 200 feet of triassic sands occur just above the (2s) argillaceous basement and no commercial hydrocarbon bearing PUBLIC HEAR Page 23 drill two horizontal wells in that same gas pool. CHAIR SEAMOUNT: Okay. And then you're going to be disposing of at least water into the same zone that you're going to be producing from in the other wells. Are you aware of any kind of compatibility of the water with the reservoir? MR. VAN DYKE: Mr. Chairman, we couldn't find any incompatibility issues, you know, in prior injection operations. CHAIR SEAMOUNT: Okay. MR. VAN DYKE: And the volume -you know, if all the volume - if we injected the full 50,000 barrels even in EB 15, you know, and I guess in a vacuum 50,000 barrels sounds like lot of fluid, but when you do the calculations, I mean, you're only going to have a zone of influence of maybe 150 feet away from that well. It's -- you know, this is not gas cap water injection at Prudhoe Bay or grind and inject disposal operations at Prudhoe Bay, I mean, it's - in the grand scheme of things as far as disposal operations, iYs relatively small, but at the same time it's very important for the Borough. CHAIR SEAMOUNT: Okay. Thank you. Any other questions comments? COMMISSIONER FOERSTER: I have more, but I'm going .maybe they'll be Page 23 to Page 26 BsA (~ PUBLIC HEAR Page 27 (i) zones underlie the Barrow sandstone in either field. So with (2) the cap above and cap below we feel that the Barrow sandstones (s> are confined. (a) And section 7 shows the well logs for South Barrow 13 and (s) East Barrow 15. South Barrow 13 was drilled to argillaceous (s) basement and 2,476 measured depth, but East Barrow 15 was not (~) drilled to basement, only about a 100 measured depth feet below (s) the lower Barrow sandstone. And perforation intervals are also (s> annotated on the logs. (io) CHAIR SEAMOUNT: Commissioner Norman, do you have any (ii) questions? (~z) COMMISSIONER NORMAN: No questions. (~s) CHAIR SEAMOUNT: Commissioner Foerster? (ia) COMMISSIONER FOERSTER: I have a few. Do you have the (i s) original reservoir pressure for the Barrow sand? (~s) MS. McMULLEN: Commissioner, I do not have that initial (») information. Dan, do you? (ia) MR. LOWE: Well, I mean, how exact. It's right around (is) 960. (20) COMMISSIONER FOERSTER: And how about the current, is (2i) there an estimate of the current pressure? (zz) MR. LOWS: Go ahead. (23) MR. VAN DYKE: Commissioner Foerster, Mr. Stokes is (2a) prepared to speak to reservoir pressures and POZ analysis and (2s) reserve reports that PRA has prepared for the North Slope Page 28 (i) Borough. And if it's okay with you he would do that after we (2> run through the formal sections in the application. (s) COMMISSIONER FOERSTER: Okay. I can wait for that answer (a) then. You said that the 15 was now wet and the 13 is now (s) depleted, is that correct? (s) MR. LOWE: 15 was drilled into the water leg, the lower (~) Barrow sand was in water, the upper Barrow was in gas. So it (a) was a very poor well from the beginning. So it wasn't -- it (s) wasn't one of the better wells. And South Barrow 13 has been (io) depleted, it no longer -- neither one is producing anymore. (i~) COMMISSIONER FOERSTER: And neither one has the capability (i2) of producing? (~s) MR. VAN DYKE: Commissioner, (wouldn't - I would say (~a> that if you went in and worked over these wells and, you know, (is) plugged off water and spent a lot of money, you could probably (is) still get a little bit of gas. I wouldn't deny that that's (i~) possible, but that would not be the wise choice in this case. (ia) COMMISSIONER FOERSTER: Thank you. That's all right now. (is) CHAIR SEAMOUNT: Okay. You mentioned the fault box, Ms. (20) McMullen, do these faults seal? (21) MS. McMULLEN: Chairman, I believe they do seal along with (zz) microfaults in there that were formed prior to hydrocarbon (23> migration. We do see pressure differences, especially in the (za) South Field between the NSB 2 and South Barrow 13 wells and the (2s) fault block to the north, so yes, we're going on the consensus ING 05h 8h 0 ilr __xMax(~i~)_ Page 29 (~) that it's sealing. (2) CHAIR SEAMOUNT: What's the displacement on the faults? (3> MS. McMULLEN: It varies anywhere from 10 to 15 feet to (a) maybe, you know, 50 feet. (s) CHAIR SEAMOUNT: Okay. They're little baby ones then? (s) MS. McMULLEN: Correct. (~> CHAIR SEAMOUNT: You mentioned argillaceous basement..... (a) MS. McMULLEN: Basement. (s) CHAIR SEAMOUNT: .....what age is this argillaceous (io> basement? (ii) MS. McMULLEN: It's the metamorphic rocks..... (12) CHAIR SEAMOUNT: Is that right? (is> MS. McMULLEN: .....that are below the -yeah. (~a) CHAIR SEAMOUNT: Okay. All right. On the structure map (~s) it shows number 13 almost as high as a lot of the producers (~s) and, I guess, if it's depleted and the other ones are not then, (i~) I guess, that where your fault block, fault trapping comes in, (~s) is that interpretation correct? (is) MS. McMULLEN: Yeah, Mr. Chairman. That's the fault (20) block, that east/west fault there is the one that's sealing (21) this NSB 2, South Barrow 13 area from the northern area here. (22) And I believe neither well right now is producing, but..... (23) MR. VAN DYKE: Well, if I may, Mr. Chairman. Actually NS (2a) produces at low rates, but it's only because in the past that's (2s) where the Borough had its mercaptan injection point, you know Page 30 (~) where it puts the odorant into the natural gas. And that (2) mercaptan station is being moved and the Borough would prefer (s) not to produce NSB 2. (a) CHAIR SEAMOUNT: Okay. (s) MR. VAN DYKE: Once the mercaptan station is moved. (s) CHAIR SEAMOUNT: Well, I believe that number 2 is quite (~) bit higher structurally than the number 13? (a) MS. McMULLEN: Correct. (s) CHAIR SEAMOUNT: Okay. (~o) COMMISSIONER FOERSTER: But they're both going to b (~i) plugged? (12) MS. McMULLEN: They're both slated for P&A. (is) CHAIR SEAMOUNT: What kind of drive is this, you mentioned (ia) - I think someone -you've mentioned water production, (~s) watered out, is it a strong water drive? (is) MR. VAN DYKE: Mr. Chairman, Mr. Stokes and Pete will (») speak to that..... (ia> CHAIR SEAMOUNT: Okay. (is) MR. VAN DYKE: .....you know, once we get through the re (20) of the application. But it's a -- it's very -- you know, the (zi) fields are very interesting because of the hydrate -- presence (z2) of the hydrates. (2s) CHAIR SEAMOUNT: Okay. Any other questions or comments? (2a) COMMISSIONER FOERSTER: Not at this time. (zs) COMMISSIONER NORMAN: No questions. Nage z i to rage su ssa ~ PUBLIC HEAR Page 31 (~) MR. VAN DYKE: Mr. Chairman, I'll go back on the record. (2> Bill Van Dyke with PRA. Number 8 in the approval criteria (s) speaks to the well casing information and mechanical integrity. (a) We've provided attachments, 6 and 6A show the well construction (s> for both wells, attachment 7 and 7A show the well schematics (s) and attachments 8 and 8A show the tubing and casing ~~) specifications. Ithink it was noted, but I'll repeat it (a) again. Both wells are completed without packers and both wells (s> at this moment have open perforations. (io> I don't know how much detail you want me to go through on (ii) the well construction, I mean, the completion diagrams, the (i2) completion reports, you know, have the casing information, (is) cementing information. Iwould - I guess for the record at (ia) least I'll note that, you know, well EB 15 had a two stage (1s) cement job, there's about 750 feet of cement in the bottom of (is) the well across the Barrow sands, then there's another oh, plus (i~> or minus 400 feet of cement up at 1,300 feet. If you - if you (ia) do the math those two cement jobs should have overlapped, but (is) there's no way to guarantee that they did. But there's (20) certainly adequate cement in that well in a 7 inch casing, (21) while SB 13 was -the casing is cemented all the way to (22) surface. (23) COMMISSIONER FOERSTER: And do you have any cement bond (2a) logs for either of those wells? (2s) MR. VAN DYKE: Yes. Page 32 (i) COMMISSIONER FOERSTER: And what do those look I i ke? (2) MR. VAN DYKE: Commissioner, I don't feel qualified to (s) look at the bond logs and they were found to be acceptable when (a) the wells were drilled at the time. And the casing was tested (s) before. (s) COMMISSIONER FOERSTER: Mr. Lowe, are you qualified to (~) make an assessment on those -- the quality of those bond logs? (a) MR. LOWE: Yes. (s> COMMISSIONER FOERSTER: Would you do so? (io) MR. LOWE: As soon as I find them, yes. (~i) COMMISSIONER FOERSTER: Okay. (12> CHAIR SEAMOUNT: We may have them. (is) MR. LOWE: Oh, really. Okay. (ia) COMMISSIONER FOERSTER: We have them. (~s) MR. VAN DYKE: We have one, Commissioner. (is) MR. LOWE: They did do a 2,000 pound pressure test of the (i~) casing and the casing does have two FO, you know, sliding (ie) sleeves, you know, that they cemented through, but after the (~s) casing test they ran the wireline logs and, you know, there's (20> nothing else that went into the hole after that that would have (21> accidently opened those sleeves, plus they did the casing test. (22) They produced it for five or six years and never saw any kind (23) of leakage so that should still be fully adequate. (2a) COMMISSIONER FOERSTER: Thank you. (2s) MR. VAN DYKE: Again I don't know if it's your preference ING 05/18/10 ~ _ __xMax(sia)_ Page 33 (i) to actually just, you know, read through the completion report, (2) you know, and state all the casing strings and depths, I -- (3) It'S..... (a) COMMISSIONER FOERSTER: I don't think we need that, do (5) y0U? (s) CHAIR SEAMOUNT: I think it's in the record, yeah. (~) MR. VAN DYKE: It's on the record. Okay. Thank you. As (s) far as the types of fluids that we wish to inject, we listed (s) those in our discussion in section 9, it's a rather lengthy (~o) paragraph because we wanted to be as explicit as we could on (~i) the types of injection fluids we hope to inject. They would (12) all be approved Class II fluids and we're asking for -- to be (~s> allowed to inject at least 50,000 barrels maximum. (ia) And I don't think I maybe stated this earlier. We're -- (~s) at this point in time we're not sure if we're going to use both (is) wells or only one well and if we only use one well we don't (i~) know which of the two wells that would be so we'd like to have (is) both wells approved. (is) COMMISSIONER FOERSTER: So in your application you listed (20> camp waste as a disposable fluid, that's not Class II? (21> MR. VAN DYKE: Okay. (22) COMMISSIONER FOERSTER: So that would not be something (2s) that we allow you, are you aware of that? (2a) MR. VAN DYKE: Yes. (2s) COMMISSIONER FOERSTER: Okay. Okay. Page 34 (~) MR. VAN DYKE: And in addition as far as the injection (2) fluids, we would -- we would request approval regardless of (s) which well we use and which field it's in, that we be allowed (a) to inject waste from all three gas fields into that well. (s) COMMISSIONER FOERSTER: Okay. (s) MR. VAN DYKE: So if the well's in East Barrow, we would (~) like to be able to bring fluids over from South Barrow and from (e) Walakpa. (s> COMMISSIONER FOERSTER: But no domestic waste? (~o) MR. VAN DYKE: No, no domestic waste. (ii) COMMISSIONER FOERSTER: Okay. (12) MR. VAN DYKE: We have an agreement with the North Slope (is) Borough that camp waste will go to the Barrow wastewater (~a> treatment plant. (~s) As far as maximum injection pressures and surface (is) pressures and average injection rates, again the -- there have (i~) been, and this information is in your records, Glasby (ph) 5 (ia) was used as a disposal well, again in the exact manner that (is) we're proposing to use these two wells, while SB 13 was (20) fracture stimulated while SB 20 was acid stimulated. And those (2i) wells have no problem with well construction issues and were (22) able to take fluids, injection fluids, successfully. Now we (23> looking at those past operations, you know, average injection (2a) pressures were between 400 and 800 pounds at the surface. In (2s> order to kick off the wells pressures were in the range of Page. 31 to Page 34 BsA ,>~ PUBLIC HEAR Page 35 "'" (i) 1,200 to 1,500 pounds, just to get fluids to start to move at (2> least on one of the operations, but then average pressure after (s) that was 400 to 800 pounds, couple barrels a minute injection (a) rate. And we would certainly have -our injection pumps would (s) be equipped with safety relief valves, you know, safety shutoff (s) equipment and certainly proper measurement equipment for (~) volumes. (a> You know as far as the fracture information that (s) Commissioner Foerster asked about earlier, we did not contract (io> out to have a separate simulation analysis run by a third (~i) party. We plan to limit our injection pressures and we also (12> plan to inject in relatively small batches because, you know, (~s) we'll be drilling one well at a time and so there'll be some (ia) liquid waste from one well at a time then there'll be down time (is> in between. And at least from the fracture simulation models (~s) that I've seen run for other operations, when you inject -- (i~) when you do this off and on sort of batch disposal, the model (i s> results I've seen is that you tend to grow lots of short, small (~s) fractures, you don't grow one long fracture because you're (20> injecting -- you inject for a day and then you shut down for a (21) week, you know, or you inject for two days and then you shut (zz) down for a week. And so at least the modeling I've seen in the (zs) past is that you - if you do fracture you grow a series of (za) very small fractures along the wellbore rather than one very (zs) long fracture. Page 36 (~) COMMISSIONER FOERSTER: How would that work since do - do (z) the stresses -are the stresses different at this shallow a (s) depth because, you know, in my experience with fracturing you (a) follow the plane of least principal stress, and everything you (s) pump is going to go on that plane. So I wouldn't imagine a fan (s) of different fracs, I would imagine the same -the same cracks (~) coming open again and again and again. And..... (a) MR. VAN DYKE: I am not a fracture simulation expert or (s) rock mechanics expert, but just having reviewed some of these (io> studies in the past which are in your records, you know, (ii) available for the Commission to review, that is the rock (12) mechanics behavior that are exhibited. (is) Section 12 of the approval criteria are the formation (~a) water quality information. Again we have a pretty good (is> inventory of water samples from South Barrow and East Barrow. (is> They're included in attachment 9 in the application. Total (i~) dissolved solids are -well, the lowest one I saw was 16,000 (is> parts per million TDS, most of them are in the range of 20 to (is) 25,000 parts per million total dissolved solids. (zo) There was no subsurface freshwater or drinking water (z~) sources penetrated by these wells and we will follow-up as far (22> as the Barrow freshwater sources. (23> And as Ms. McMullen said, the permafrost thickness is in (2a) the range of about 1,000 feet in the area of both wells. One (2s) of the orders, and I think it's a disposal injection order at ING 05/18h0 ~ XMAX(9/9) Page 37 (i) that time used a permafrost depth of about 500 foot thickness (2) and there's been a lot of study done since then on permafrost (s) in this area and certainly we believe that the permafrost depth (a) is closer to 1,000 feet rather than the 500 feet that's (s) included in one of the orders for these fields. (s) With respect to aquifer exemptions, based on the water (~) salinities we don't believe an aquifer exemption is required. (a) We hope that that is also the ruling from the Commission. (s> COMMISSIONER NORMAN: And that's based upon water quality (~o> analysis information you've provided? (~i) MR. VAN DYKE: Yes, that's based on the..... (~2) COMMISSIONER NORMAN: Yeah. (is) MR. VAN DYKE: .....water qualities that are shown in (ia) attachment 9 to the application. (~s) With respect to mechanical integrity of other wells within (is) a quarter mile radius, there are no existing wells within a (») quarter mile radius of either SB 13 or EB 15 and the new wells (is> we've proposed to drill will not be within a quarter mile (is) radius of either well. (20) Section 15, mechanical integrity demonstration, as I (zi) stated these wells are existing wells, they have casing, tubing (2z) handing in the casing, no packer and open perforations so we (23) would request a waiver for an exemption on some of the (za) mechanical integrity testing requirements because we cannot (zs) test - we have no packer to test against between the casing Page 38 (i) and tubing in that annulus. (2) And we don't plan to have -- to bring a rig on location (s) for either well. Both wells are located some distance away (a) from where we will be drilling so the plan would not be to come (s) in first and workover these wells. (s) We believe a waiver is warranted because the wells have (~) exhibited good cement and construction properties. The casing (s) was tested in the wells when they were drilled. Our injection (s) volumes will be relatively small when you think about disposal (io) wells in the grand scheme of things. Our injection operations (i~) will have a limited period of time when we're actually using (iz> the wells and we'll be using them in intermediate stages even (is) when we do use them. We will so closely monitor the surface (~a) injection pressures and casing pressures. (is) There was a formation integrity test run in EB 15, that's (~s) in your records. It's shown in attachment 10 in the (i~> application. That was the only actual formation integrity test (ia) that I could find in the records, you know, when these wells (is) were being drilled. And I think they tested to a gradient of (20) .61 PSI per foot when they -- in that test. (21) No mechanical integrity problems have been noted during (22) the previous well stimulation or disposal injection operations. (zs) The production history for these wells are shown, it's (za) attachment 11 and 11A, the last two attachments. Both wells (2s) have been shut-in for a number of years. Page 35 to Page 38 es,n ~ PUBLIC HEAR Page 39 (i) With respect to the mechanical integrity of other wells (z) within a quarter mile radius, again there are no other wells (s) within a quarter mile radius. (a> And then section 17, well design construction and testing, (s> again, you know, the wells are cemented across the disposal (s> interval and well above the disposal interval. We would (~) request a waiver that the wells be required to be completed (a) with a packer. And again attachments 6, 6A, 7, 7A and 8, 8A, (s) show the well construction details which we believe are (io) sufficient. (i i) Then with respect to notices to be filed with the (12) Commission, we will file these notices as required. We have (is> not prepared -for example, we've not prepared sundry notices (i4) for any P&A operations yet or any conversion operations for (i s> these wells or permits to drill for the new wells. We'll get (is) that in -- get those in with plenty of time to spare, but - (»> and we realize we have to do that, but we'll get them in as (is) required. (is) That's a go through the application at least on a high (20) level. If you have any questions now we could entertain those (21) and as I said Mr. Stokes is here to - if you're interested (22) more in the reservoir dynamics, the gas pool dynamics (23) themselves rather than the disposal well specifically, Mr. (za) Stokes could speak to that. (zs) CHAIR SEAMOUNT: Commissioner Foerster, any questions? Page 40 (i) COMMISSIONER FOERSTER: None. (z) CHAIR SEAMOUNT: Commissioner Norman. (s) COMMISSIONER NORMAN: Just maybe to avoid recall, the (a) proposal here then is for injection of between 30 and 50,000 (s) barrels of liquid and some solids, is that right, within a (s) maximum of a one year period? (~) MR. VAN DYKE: Commissioner Norman, that's correct. We (s) would request 30,000 barrels of liquids and then as a (s) contingency another 20,000 barrels of slurried cuttings. (io> COMMISSIONER NORMAN: Okay. And then could you summarize (ii) again the waivers that you feel -you're asking for? (iz> MR. VAN DYKE: We would ask that the wells not be required (i3) to be completed with a packer, so waiver on the packers. (ia) COMMISSIONER NORMAN: Right. (~s> MR. VAN DYKE: And a waiver on the requirement for a (is) mechanical integrity test on the annulus because we have open (i~) perforations and no packer so we can't -- we have a hard time (~s> getting there otherwise. (19) COMMISSIONER NORMAN: Okay. Thank you. (20) CHAIR SEAMOUNT: Thank you. Methane hydrates were (21) mentioned, what depth are they located at? (zz) MR. VAN DYKE: I hate to put you off, but Mr. Stokes and (zs) Mr. Walsh are the hydrates experts..... (2a) CHAIR SEAMOUNT: Okay. (zs> MR. VAN DYKE: .....and they've spent a lot of time ING 05/18/10 xMax(ioiio) - __ - --_ Page 41 (i) studying that in our fields. (z) CHAIR SEAMOUNT: Well, it's an interesting aside. (s) MR. VAN DYKE: Yeah. (a) CHAIR SEAMOUNT: Okay. Are you two finished testifying (s> for now? (s) MR. VAN DYKE: Just one closing comment, I mean, you (~) mentioned hydrates, you know, this project started, there was (s) going to be a --the federal government was going to be (s> involved and it was going to be a hydrates gas science project. (io) And that helped get the project going, they were going to help (ii) fund mobe and demobe of the rig, you know, some of the (i2> equipment, some of the standby. And they -that went along (1s) for a few years and last year -- late last year, the federal (ia) government pulled out of the project. And that got rid of the (is) gas hydrates science tests. It also got rid of a big piece of (16) the budget that we were hoping to use and so we've been (i~) scrambling ever since to revise the project. But that's just (is) sort of a little bit of the history on the gas hydrate. You (is) may have read something about proposal to drill some hydrate (20) test wells up there, that was going to be a federal campaign (2i) that is no longer on the books. (22> CHAIR SEAMOUNT: Okay. Thank you, Ms. McMullen anc Mr. (23) Van Dyke. And if you please hang around unless we want to ask (2a) you further questions. (2s) Okay. Mr. Stokes, I guess we'll swear you in. Please Page 42 (i) raise your right hand. (2) (Oath administered) (3) MR. STOKES: Yes. (a) CHAIR SEAMOUNT: Okay. Would you please state your name, (s) who you represent, whether you want to be an expert witness and (s) I assume you do, and what would be the discipline that you're (~) going to be considered as an expert witness for and what your (a) qualifications. (s) TESTIMONY OF PETE STOKES (io) MR. STOKES: Okay. My name is Pete Stokes and I work for (i~) PRA and have done quite a few projects for the North Slope (12) Borough as a petroleum engineer. I have a degree in Mining and (is) Mechanical Engineering from the University of Alaska. I am a (ia) licensed Petroleum Engineer in the state of California and the (~s> state of Alaska. I've worked previously for Union Oil and (~s) UnoCal in Alaska and California, Oklahoma, Indonesia and then (i~) back in Alaska. I've worked for PRA since about 2004 and as I (is) stated I've done several studies on these reservoirs in the (is) North Slope Borough's gas fields. What I'm going to talk about (zo) is sort of the reserve study that I did back in 2006 for the (2i> East Barrow Field and the South Barrow Fields. (2z) CHAIR SEAMOUNT: Okay. Thank you, Mr. Stokes. (zs) Commissioner Norman, any questions? (za) COMMISSIONER NORMAN: I have no questions. (zs) CHAIR SEAMOUNT: Commissioner Foerster? Page 39 to Page 42 asA i PUBLIC HEAP Page 43 _ (~) COMMISSIONER FOERSTER: None. (2) CHAIR SEAMOUNT: The only question I have is what's more (s) difficult, to be licensed in California or Alaska? (a> MR. STOKES: Well, I took the test once and then I got (s> commodity in Alaska, but I do..... (s) CHAIR SEAMOUNT: Okay. So Alaska recognizes..... (7) MR. STOKES: .....have to do continuing education credits (s) in Alaska whereas I don't in California. So I don't know if (s> that's any..... (10) CHAIR SEAMOUNT: So Alaska's more of a pain? (ii) MR. STOKES: Well, I mean, I took the -- initially took (i2> the test when I was working in California. So..... (is) COMMISSIONER FOERSTER: And you had to get Arctic (ia) engineering to get commodity here? (~s) MR. STOKES: Correct, yes. (is> COMMISSIONER FOERSTER: Yeah, okay. (i~) CHAIR SEAMOUNT: Okay. Do I hear any objections to naming (is) Mr. Stokes as an expert witness? (~s> COMMISSIONER NORMAN: No objection. (zo) COMMISSIONER FOERSTER: No objection. (21) CHAIR SEAMOUNT: Hearing none, Mr. Stokes will be (22) considered as -- or is defined as an expert witness (zs) unanimously. (za) MR. STOKES: Thank you. (2s) CHAIR SEAMOUNT: What is the word? Page 44 (~) COMMISSIONER NORMAN: Accepted. (z) CHAIR SEAMOUNT: Accepted. Sorry. English wasn't my best (s> subject. (a) MR. STOKES: There have been several questions around (s) reservoir pressure and reservoir drive mechanisms and I'll just (s) sort of give you sort of a brief overview of my knowledge of (7) the fields. (a) PRA was engaged back in 2005 to do a reservoir reserve (s) study in the Walakpa Field and we did go out and get downhole (10) pressure data in Walakpa and wrote up a reserves report for (ii) them. Subsequently they asked us to do the same for their (iz) South and East Barrow Fields. As was pointed out earlier, (is) there's some naming conventions, I believe, the AOGCC refers to (ia) the East Field as the East Pool of the South Barrow Field and (~s) then the South Field as south of the South Pool of the South (is) Barrow Field. (i~) CHAIR SEAMOUNT: That was before my time. (is) MR. STOKES: Unfortunately it's very confusing to really (~s) understand where the wells were and where the well records (20> were, but we've sort of gotten past that. (21) I have researched a lot of the earlier well records in the (z2) South and East Barrow Fields and have found work that had been (zs) done previously when they drilled the wells. And just talking (za) about South Barrow 13 which is in the NSB 2 fault block if you (zs) will which is isolated from the other wells in the South Barrow ING 05h8h0 r xMAx(ii/11) _S Page 45 (i) Field, there's two wells and the original pressures that were (2> reported for South Barrow 13 was 859 PSI and the original (s) pressure reported for NSB 2 was 896 PSI. Now once again in (a> researching records oftentimes you're not able to really (s> pinpoint exactly where that pressure was estimated at, but (s) that's what I found in the record. (7) For our 2006 pressure campaign we did downhole pressure (s) build-ups in NSB number 2 and found that fault block pressure (s) at that time to be 758 PSI. It's a rather small fault block, (io) it hasn't been too much depleted and the reason why is both of (ii) those wells were pretty poor wells from a permeability (i z) standpoint and they just were not very good producers. (is> I might point out here that we were talking about having a (ia) well being able to -- capable of producing 150 MCF a day and (is) that was sort of the last producing rate that is shown on the (is) records. (i~) What has evolved over the years with the -- supplying the (~s) city of Barrow with gas is initially the South Field was (is) discovered and produced and it met all of their fuel needs. (20) Subsequent to that the East Barrow Pool was discovered and i (21> helped meet additional needs. And then in 1990 the Walakpa (22) Field was discovered and then subsequently developed and now it (23) meets substantially all of the Borough's needs for gas to (za) supply the city of Barrow. Unfortunately Walakpa is not (2s) accessible by roads, it's -- there's a pipeline only and it's Page 46 (i) accessible either by helicopter on tundra travel vehicles or (z) obviously ice -- snow roads in the wintertime. So it's not (s) very convenient to operate as it would be if you could drive to (a) the wells. But unfortunately it's the bulk of the remaining (s) reserves for the North Slope Borough providing energy to (s) Barrow. So it's the area where we're going to drill four wells (7) in this -- in this development program. And the two wells (a) that'll be drilled in East Barrow are wells that will provide (s) sort of an alternative supply in case there's something that (io) happens to the Walakpa pipeline, for example, or -and they (ii) are accessible by road and they are pretty high reservoir (i2) pressure currently. (i3) And I'll get into my hydrate story in a minute, but so (~a) that's sort of the -- how the development has played out for (is) the Barrow Gas Fields including Walakpa. (~s) Well, once Walakpa was developed and was capable of (i~) producing at averages of 500 and 600 MCF a day, the smaller (~a) depleted gas wells in -- specifically in the South Field, and (is) the wells are not as capable in the South Field such as SB 13 (zo) and NSB 2, they were not operated because it takes a lot of (zi) effort to produce a well and keep it from forming hydrates and (2z) freezing up in the winter, a lot of ethanol needs to be used. (23) Obviously it's a manpower issue to keep small wells going when (za) you've got the main wells that you're operating 20 miles to the (2s) south that you have to be out with tundra travel type vehicles. Page 43 to Page 46 esA ~ PUBLIC HEAR Page 47 (~) So as a result these wells are not produced and not considered (2> viable commercially when they've got other production from (3) Walakpa. (a) We did consider a slate of these wells, putting together a (s> stimulation package and seeing if we could economically (s) mobilize a coil tubing unit and a acid spread to come over and (~> attempt to stimulate them, but unfortunately we were not able (s) to get bidders to come over and do that. So as a result these (s) wells are slated for abandonment because they're not capable of (io> being commercial. (i~) Now the East Barrow, once again that's a separate area (i2) over to the east and it was developed after South Barrow. The (13) original pressure in East Barrow 15 was 962 PSI and the (ia) original report in East Barrow was 963 PSI. And what we're (~s) seeing currently in the reservoir that East Barrow 14 is (is) producing out of, it's currently at 935 PSI and it has built (~7> back up over time due to lack of production. The original (1s> hypothesis by earlier engineers was that there was a strong (is) water drive that was encroaching into the East Barrow fault (20> block and that was why the pressures did not decline as you (2i) would normally expect a volumetric reservoir to decline over (22) time or over production. (23) We have since produced well in excess of what they thought (2a) the reservoir would produce if there were a strong active water (2s) drive coming in and watering out the wells. And we speculate Page 48 (~) or we have convinced ourselves that there's probably a hydrate (2) layer in the upper part of the East Barrow reservoir that is (3) disassociated as you reduce the reservoir pressure from (a) producing the gas. And we have done modeling that shows that (s) the hydrate stability zone is on the order of 2,000 feet in the (s) East Barrow Field. So we feel like when we put these two (~) horizontals into the East Barrow Field that we will not only (s) have backup for the community of Barrow, but we'll also be (s) producing and depressuring this hydrate zone that's -that (io) feel is at the upper end of the -- or on the top of the (1i) reservoir. (12) So are there any questions? (13) CHAIR SEAMOUNT: Commissioner Norman, do you have any (ia) questions? (is> COMMISSIONER NORMAN: Just one. Could you comment on (is) whether permeability of the receiving zone presents any (i~) challenge to use of the wells as injection wells? I think Mr. (~a) Van Dyke also made a brief comment about that. (is) MR. STOKES: Yes, I've really not been involved in water (20> disposal and fracing so I can't comment on that. (zi) COMMISSIONER NORMAN: Thank you. (22) CHAIR SEAMOUNT: Commissioner Foerster? (23) COMMISSIONER FOERSTER: No questions. (2a) CHAIR SEAMOUNT: Are these fields under compression a' (2s) all? ING 05/18/10 ~ xMax(~zn2) Page 49 (i) MR. STOKES: Chair Seamount, the -- there are no (2) compression. The fields are produced at just pipeline (3) pressures and then the pipeline takes it to a central gathering (a) facility in South Barrow and it's..... (s> CHAIR SEAMOUNT: Okay. (s) MR. STOKES: .....dehydrated and shipped to town in a (7) pipeline quality pipeline. (e) CHAIR SEAMOUNT: Do you ever foresee compression? (s) MR. STOKES: I --from what we understand the reserves in (~o) Walakpa to be, if we drill these four short, horizontal (~i) laterals we would not have compression needs for many (12> years..... (13) CHAIR SEAMOUNT: Okay. (ia) MR. STOKES: .....understanding the demand of the village (~s) of Barrow. (is> CHAIR SEAMOUNT: And did you mention reserve estimates, (i~) remaining reserves? (is) MR. STOKES: We did a calculation for Walakpa and the (is) remaining reserves there depending on the amount of usage is on (20) the order of 150 to 200 BCF remaining. Now at East Barrow (21) because of the hydrate recharge which was originally thought to (22) be water influx, we have not made an estimate of what the (23) reserves are. In the South Barrow northern fault block, we (2a) anticipate remaining reserves to be about 8 BCF. And NSB 2 (2s) fault block which is where South Barrow 13 is, the remaining Page 50 (1) reserves there were less than one BCF. (2) CHAIR SEAMOUNT: Okay. Is -- are there hydrates in all (3) the fields? (a) MR. STOKES: We feel like probably at Walakpa there is (s) because that sand is very continuous to the north and would be (s) going up dip into the hydrate stability zone. And that is (~) another issue of why I give a range for Walakpa reserves (s) because there appears to be potentially a big aquifer to the (s) south from the Brontosaurs well which is 20 miles to the south (io) and then there's the potential of a big hydrate cap to the (~i) north of dip. In South Barrow we feel that the northern fault (i2) block, we feel like it's been more of a volumetric decline and (i3) we -- the modeling that we did for hydrate stability did not (~a) show that the reservoir was in the hydrate stability zone, it (is) was too warm. That was the other thing in Walakpa, we did (is) extensive modeling there as well and did show that was a (i7) hydrate stability zone up dip of the producing wells. (ia) CHAIR SEAMOUNT: Okay. I haven't been paying attention to (~s) the methane hydrate science projects, but if you produce -- if (20) you're getting a contribution from methane hydrates, wouldn't (2>> you -- I mean, wouldn't you produce a lot of water along with (22) it? (23> MR. STOKES: We have in our reservoir simulations it does (2a) show obviously you've got something to -- you've got water when (2s) disassociate the hydrate clath rate and you've got methane gas. Page 47 to Page 50 ssA ~ PUBLIC HEAR Page 51 (1) But what is shown in our reservoir simulations is the water (2) saturation does not become mobile to where it's like a water (3) drive, you do get water, it remains in your reservoir. We (a) would not anticipate seeing water in the wells and we have not (s) experienced that in East Barrow where we feel like the most (s) likely place we have hydrates. (~) CHAIR SEAMOUNT: Fascinating. Commissioner Norman, any (a> other questions? (s) COMMISSIONER NORMAN: No questions. (~o> CHAIR SEAMOUNT: Commissioner Foerster? (~i} COMMISSIONER FOERSTER: No questions. (i2) CHAIR SEAMOUNT: Okay. Thank you, Mr. Stokes. I think we (~3) should probably take a 15 minute recess. (ia) COMMISSIONER NORMAN: Could I ask one follow-up of Mr. Van (~s) Dyke before we go on break? (is} CHAIR SEAMOUNT: Go ahead. (»> COMMISSIONER NORMAN: Mr. Van Dyke, part of the same (is> question I asked Mr. Stokes and maybe I misunderstood, but I (is) thought I heard you just briefly mention that permeability (20> might present some challenge to the receiving zone being able (21) to accept injection of liquids. Did I hear that right or not? (22} MR. VAN DYKE: Commissioner Norman, I don't believe I made (23) that statement, but the sands are, you know, relatively low (2a> permeability compared to again some of the shallow sands at (2s) Prudhoe Bay or, you know, the (indiscernible), but from the Page 52 (t) injection operations that we have had in the past at Barrow, (2} acid stimulation, fracture stimulation, the disposal operation (3) in well SB 5, this Barrow sand certainly appears capable of (a> taking fluids at, you know, reasonable pressures. (s) COMMISSIONER NORMAN: Thank you. (s> CHAIR SEAMOUNT: Okay. At this time I'd like to take a 15 (~) minute break. And I'd like to be 10 minutes, but we're always (a) -- we always go over so try to be honest and say 15 and we're (s> probably lying about that. But that means 10:42 we'll come (~o) back. And we're off the record at 10:22. (ii) (Off record - 10:22 a.m.) (12) (On record - 10:36 a.m.) (13) CHAIR SEAMOUNT: We're back on record at 10:37, 10:38 (~a) whatever. (15) Now we'll give opportunity for public comment, and Mr. (1s} Lash, I never know what you're up to, are you public or are you (~~) with these guys? (1s} MR. LASH: Both. I'm on my - I happen to be on my R&R so (1s> but I -- when I'm not I'm with these guys. (20) CHAIR SEAMOUNT: Okay. Do you have any comments? (21> MR. LASH: No. (22) CHAIR SEAMOUNT: Okay. Thank you. All right. Well, (23) we'll leave the record open until -- for one week and that'll (2a) be May 25th, 2010. And we would like the answer on where the (2s) nearest water source is. And there's a structure map that was ING 05h8/10 ~ XMAX(13/13) Page 53 (i) mislabeled, which attachment was that? (2> MS. McMULLEN: It was in the geologic report and it's..... (3} MR.

LOWE: My name is Dan Lowe, I'm a drilling consultant R& R C O U R T R E P O R T E R S 811 G STREET (907)277-0572/Fax 274-8982 ANCHORAGE, ALASKA 99501 8 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 with the North Slope Borough. And just a brief background, the purpose of what we're trying to do here is drill six new development gas wells and two in the East Barrow Gas Field and four in the Walakpa Field. This is basically driven by a supply demand issue for, you know, the Borough. I think that right now they believe their peak deliverable is 800 million cubic feet a day and I think the peak load they have seen on one or two occasions during not this winter, but past winter, was above 7, perhaps even 7.5. So the feeling is it's time for some additional production. And some of the other wells, of course, have depleted out and need repair. There is -- what happens in these fields, there's actually three separate fields, the South Barrow Field originally discovered by the Navy and then the East Barrow Field which was an extension of that discovered by the Navy and then the Walakpa Field to the south, discovered by Husky Oil in 1980 and '81, I forget. But, you know, so what has happened to the development is they will have a drilling period and then hopefully they'll go for 15, 20 years and have adequate supply before they bring another rig to the fields and do any more drilling. And that's -- so that's what's driving this right now. Our strategy a little different from the past, we want to drill horizontal wells, roughly 1,500 foot laterals, try to get more production and more stable production. And then the -- of course, the need for cuttings and liquid and mud disposal, R& R C O U R T R E P O R T E R S 811 G STREET (907)277-0572/Fax 274-8982 ANCHORAGE, ALASKA 99501 9 ~ ~ 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 that's our, you know, one key expense and thing that has to be done and the Borough, they do want to live with the standards, of course, that they impose on industry or help to impose on industry. And, you know, the goal is to run, you know, a safe professional operation just like, you know, the -- any of the major operators, would on the North Slope. And the key thing, I think our strategy is both the horizontal wells that we want to drill and also to keep our cuttings as clean as possible which, you know, my goal is just drill it with a water base mud with some brines. Everybody wants to put in lubricants if it gets tough drilling, but that will be the ultimate last result or last thing that, you know, I personally want to see. So that's -- you know, that's the project, the one thing, the timing, it's been pushed back by a year, it'll be the 2011 that we move the right to Barrow and then we will be done -- you know, we'll drill over the winter of 2011, 2012, demobe from the field in the following summer of 2012. CHAIR SEAMOUNT: Thank you, Mr. Lowe. Commissioner Foerster, do you have any questions? COMMISSIONER FOERSTER: While you're out there are you going to be doing any other work on any of your other wells? MR. LOWE: Yes, there's quite a few candidates, you know, the old wells have been picked for P&A, PP&A, and they'll be some -- you know, there's some pipeline work they want to do, R& R C O U R T R E P O R T E R S 811 G STREET (907)277-0572/Fax 274-8982 ANCHORAGE, ALASKA 99501 10 • 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 we'll be putting in -- of course, we'll be hooking up the new facilities, you know, more than just drilling. COMMISSIONER FOERSTER: Are these the wells that you inherited or you received from the BLM? MR. LOWE: Yes. COMMISSIONER FOERSTER: Okay. And a lot of those are just in need of elimination? MR. LOWS: Yes. Well, you know, the thing is, the -- because there's no workover rig around and it costs as much to mobilize a drilling rig as it does a workover rig up there, the wellbores themselves are, in my opinion, quite precious and if they're all of any use we need to look hard at that. In looking through some of these, I know -- I worked for Husky 30 years ago when I got out of school and they were doing the primarily the exploration drilling that was going on in NPRA at the time. So if you look at the casing designs on these little baby 2,200 foot gas wells, they've got some, you know, very stout, good -- you know, good, high quality thick pipe that you wouldn't typically see in a, you know, little gas field. COMMISSIONER FOERSTER: We're involved in an effort statewide to eliminate idle wellbores with no future utility or no -- get rid of wells before they become orphans and we're plodding through, but you're in -- on our list and we will be getting in touch with you. MR. LOWS: We should be.

Okay. CHAIR SEAMOUNT: Anything else? COMMISSIONER FOERSTER: Not at this time. CHAIR SEAMOUNT: Commissioner Norman. COMMISSIONER NORMAN: Just, you know, listening to Mr. Lowe, it does occur to me there were some factual statements made and I think it might be advisable for the record to have Mr. Lowe put under oath and then ask him if he would acknowledge that everything he has said is true and correct to the best of his knowledge and so forth. Sorry for that, Mr. Lowe..... MR. LOWE: Yeah, no problem. COMMISSIONER NORMAN: .....but we didn't know quite what you were going to say..... MR. LOWE: Right. No, I understand. COMMISSIONER NORMAN: .....but you got into some specific representations of facts so we would like that on the record. CHAIR SEAMOUNT: Is there anything else? Okay. Mr. Lowe, please raise your right hand. (Oath administered) MR. LOWE: Yes. CHAIR SEAMOUNT: Thank you, Mr. Lowe. The only questions I have, I -- how many wells did you say you were going to drill? MR. LOWE: Well, it's budget driven, but our goal is for R& R C O U R T R E P O R T E R S 811 G STREET (907)277-0572/Fax 274-8982 ANCHORAGE, ALASKA 99501 12 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 six wells..... CHAIR SEAMOUNT: Six. MR. LOWE: .....two in the East Field and four in the Walakpa Field. CHAIR SEAMOUNT: And I assume they're all less than 3,000 feet? MR. LOWS: They'll have a measured depth of right around 4,000 foot and the..... CHAIR SEAMOUNT: Okay. MR. LOWE: .....Barrow sands are right around 2,250. CHAIR SEAMOUNT: Okay. And then I thought I heard you say the potential production is 800 million cubic feet a day? MR. LOWE: From the current wells, yes. MR. VAN DYKE: Eight million. MR. LOWS: Oh, did I saw 800 million. COMMISSIONER FOERSTER: You said 800 million. MR. LOWE: Excuse me. CHAIR SEAMOUNT: Okay. Unless there's any more comments, Mr. Walsh. COMMENTS BY MR. WALSFi MR. WALSH: Thank you, Chairman Seamount. Commissioner Foerster and Commissioner Norman, good morning. My -- I'm Tom Walsh, I'm a Geophysicist and Managing Partner of Petrotechnical Resources of Alaska, an integrated oil and gas consulting company here in Anchorage, Alaska operating since R& R C O U R T R E P O R T E R S 811 G STREET (907)277-0572/Fax 274-8982 ANCHORAGE, ALASKA 99501 13 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 1997. I'll keep my comments brief, I just want to give you a little bit of an update for our relationship with the North Slope Borough. We are consulting, as Mr. Van Dyke pointed out, for the North Slope Borough on this drilling and. abandonment effort for the 2011/'12 season. We have been involved with the North Slope Borough in helping them to manage their Barrow Gas Fields since about 2006. In some of the studies we've undertaken our remaining reserves estimation, well remediation plan for some of these derelict wells, hydrate studies for potential hydrates associated with the Barrow Gas Fields, drilling design and operations for new development wells and working with the Borough on lease agreements associated with the exploration program that ConocoPhillips carried out several years ago. We'd like to just point out one other individual that is with PRA that is here today, Peter Stokes is with us and he may be called upon to provide expert witness testimony as well if needed. And I believe that's it. Thank you for the opportunity to be here today. CHAIR SEAMOUNT: Thank you, Mr. Walsh and welcome, Mr. Stokes. Commissioner Norman, any questions? COMMISSIONER NORMAN: No questions. CHAIR SEAMOUNT: Commissioner Foerster? R& R C O U R T R E P O R T E R S 811 G STREET (907)277-0572/Fax 274-8982 ANCHORAGE, ALASKA 99501 14 ~ i 1 2 3 4 5 6~ 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 COMMISSIONER FOERSTER: Not at this time. CHAIR SEAMOUNT: Okay. Thank you, Mr. Walsh. Who's next? TESTIMONY OF WILLIAM VAN DYKE (CONTINUED) MR. VAN DYKE: Mr. Chairman, I'll start out. Bill Van Dyke with PRA. Today we'll present a discussion of our application. We would ask that our application as submitted be made part of the public record. The application as submitted had no confidential information included in it. As noted we've had a year push back in the project so the dates in the application, you know, as far as our -- when we'll be mobilizing and demobilizing, when we'll actually be operating the disposal wells. Those dates get pushed back one year. CHAIR SEAMOUNT: Okay. And your application's automatically in the record. MR. VAN DYKE: All right. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. There are pool rules for the Barrow Gas Fields, it's Conservation Order 233 for the Barrow Gas Fields, East Field and South Field and Conservation Order 274 for Walakpa Field. There's also an existing disposal injection order and that's DIO No. 5, that was for a disposal well that was utilized during one of the previous campaigns, same idea then as we have in mind. now, to dispose of liquid wastes. We'll go through the application just section by section, give an overview, reference some of the exhibits, if that's okay with you. We don't have a Powerpoint slide, we don't have R& R C O U R T R E P O R T E R S 811 G STREET (907)277-0572/Fax 274-8982 ANCHORAGE, ALASKA 99501 15 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 separate written testimony to submit, we'll use the application as the guideline. And there's a -- we submitted our cover -- the application had a cover letter from the North Slope Borough and then immediately following the cover letter there was a discussion of the approval criteria and that's the guide we'll use today for today's hearing. Our application is for approval of two Class II disposal wells, we plan -- as stated we plan to convert two existing inactive gas wells to disposal wells, those are South Barrow 13 and East Barrow 15 wells. You'll notice in some of the literature that East Barrow 15 well is referred to as the South Barrow 15 well. The naming convention up there got a bit confused over the years, but there are two fields, South Barrow and East Barrow, and we try to call the wells in the South Field South Barrow wells and the wells in the East Barrow Field East Barrow wells. We don't plan to utilize our disposal wells for a long period of time, this is, you know, different that Kuparuk or Prudhoe Bay or some of the Cook Inlet operations, we'll just be using the disposal well while a rig is in the field, basically, you know, less than a 12 month period. Probably it'll be active for no more than eight months. We don't plan to have a grind and inject facility on site. If we do -- well, we just don't plan to have one right now, we don't -- we're looking at other options and feel we have other R& R C O U R T R E P O R T E R S 811 G STREET (907)277-0572/Fax 274-8982 ANCHORAGE, ALASKA 99501 16 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 good options for disposal of cuttings. So we're looking to dispose of about 30,000 barrels of liquid. If we have to have a grind and inject plant on site that number would probably go up to about 50,000 barrels of liquid and slurry cuttings. So we would be asking for if there is a limitation placed on these wells that it be at least 50,000 barrels. Likewise if there's a limitation placed on the wells for a time period of operation, we would ask for a 12 month season to operate the disposal wells. And that would be of actual disposal operations rather than any pretesting for injection tests or anything like that, but actually a 12 month period of actual operation of the disposal wells. Section 2 of the discussion is the burden of proof. We feel like we have met the burden of proof to protect the public interest, we don't feel like oil field waste would travel into other formations other than the Barrow sands, we feel it would be isolated to the Barrow sands and the oil field waste would not move into sources of fresh water. In addition there are no commercial hydrocarbon bearing zones either above or below the Barrow sand. We submitted Section 3 of the approval criteria, is a location map, plat maps or attachments 2, 3 and 3A are plat maps that show the wells and the fields. Attachment 2 shows both the East Field and the South Field and the wells in those fields. R& R C O U R T R E P O R T E R S 811 G STREET (907)277-0572/Fax 274-8982 ANCHORAGE, ALASKA 99501 17 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Attachment 3 is a plat that shows a close up of the South Barrow Field. I will note that there's a well missing on that map, that layer must not have been turned on, I just noticed there's a well, South Barrow 10, that just didn't print out on that map. It's about a half mile away from the proposed disposal well. We can get you a revised attachment 3 to our application with that well on there. It's about half a mile north of the disposal well, of well South Barrow 13. And that's attachment 3 to the application, we'll get you a revised copy. And then attachment 3A is East Field close up of the proposed disposal well which is up at the top of the page and then attachment 3A also shows the wells that Mr. Lowe spoke to, the two new horizontal wells and they are the -- shows the proposed well paths for those two new proposed wells. And they are nowhere near the proposed disposal well. Section 4 of the approval criteria was the operator and surface owners, identification of those surface owner is UIC and the mineral state owner and the operator is the North Slope Borough. Section 5 of the approval criteria was providing an affidavit of notice to the surface owners and the operators, that affidavit was included in the application and I can submit today copies of the FedEx notification that the applications were served to both UIC and the North Slope Borough by FedEx R& R C O U R T R E P O R T E R S 811 G STREET (907)277-0572/Fax 274-8982 ANCHORAGE, ALASKA 99501 18 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12' 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 delivery. And that leaves one of the more technical sections, that's the geologic report and the wells logs and Ms. McMullen is going to cover that area. CHAIR SEAMOUNT: Commissioner Norman, do you have any questions? COMMISSIONER NORMAN: Does ASRC have any, Arctic Slope Regional Corporation have any position in this area? MR. VAN DYKE: Commissioner Norman, not in this immediate area, not in the three gas fields..... COMMISSIONER NORMAN: Yeah. MR. VAN DYKE: .....but they do have a position to the south..... COMMISSIONER NORMAN: Yeah. MR. VAN DYKE: .....and I think the map makers map that you have here would..... COMMISSIONER NORMAN: Yeah. MR. VAN DYKE: .....would show that. COMMISSIONER NORMAN: Okay. CHAIR SEAMOUNT: Commissioner Foerster? COMMISSIONER FOERSTER: I have a couple questions. What is your plan if you don't use a grind inject, what is your plan for your solids? MR. VAN DYKE: First and foremost, we hope to keep our cuttings very clean and we -- we're 99.9 percent sure that we R& R C O U R T R E P O R T E R S 811 G STREET (907>277-0572/Fax 274-8982 ANCHORAGE, ALASKA 99501 19 1 can dispose of clean cuttings in the North Slope Borough 2 landfill..... 3 COMMISSIONER FOERSTER: Okay. 4 MR. VAN DYKE: .....the Barrow landfill. 5 COMMISSIONER FOERSTER: Okay. My second question is when 6 you talk about not damaging any fresh groundwaters, have you 7 done any simulation runs on injecting in any wells in this -- 8 in either of these reservoirs? 9 MR. VAN DYKE: Commissioner Foerster, we discuss that in 10 the application, but the short answer is we have not -- PRA 11 does not have a fracture simulator and we have not contracted 12 with a third party to run fracture simulations, but I do have 13 some examples of operations in the Barrow Fields that are -- 14 where wells were acid stimulated or fractured or the SB 5 well 15 which was used as a disposal well. 16 COMMISSIONER FOERSTER: Okay. Well, in other wells that 17 were fractured, were simulations done to design those 18 fractures? 19 MR. VAN DYKE: There was a -- Commissioner Foerster, there 20 was a service company write-up, you know, a prefrac job 21 description, but I'm not -- I'm not sure that was -- I would 22 call that a fracture simulation in the -- in the same terms 23 that I've seen in recent time, the fracture stimulation designs 24 that are run. 25 COMMISSIONER FOERSTER: So there was no simulation design R 8 R C O U R T R E P O R T E R S 811 G STREET (907)277-0572/Fax 274-8982 ANCHORAGE, ALASKA 99501 2 ~ 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 that we typically see that models the pressures and the..... MR. VAN DYKE: Commissioner Foerster, no. COMMISSIONER FOERSTER: Okay. MR. VAN DYKE: There was a post-fracture analysis, you know, that calculated out the fracture length was about 50 feet..... COMMISSIONER FOERSTER: And did it..... MR. VAN DYKE: .....you know, in a well that was fractured. COMMISSIONER FOERSTER: .....did it calculate a frac height? MR. VAN DYKE: No, it did not. COMMISSIONER FOERSTER: Okay. So -- okay. But did the frac appear to stay in zone, did -- was there any analysis that could support that a fracture didn't grow into freshwaters or anything? MR. VAN DYKE: Commissioner Foerster, there was no evidence that the fracture grew out of zone or that there was any problems with the wellbore or the wellbore construction. COMMISSIONER FOERSTER: Okay. MR. VAN DYKE: It..... COMMISSIONER FOERSTER: You understand what I'm fishing for? MR. VAN DYKE: Yeah. The fracture was operational, it was a -- it was one of those operations that was a technical R& R C O U R T R E P O R T E R S 811 G STREET (907)277-0572/Fax 274-8982 ANCHORAGE, ALASKA 99501 21 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 success, but it probably was not an economic success, you know, the well had not produced at all before and it -- after frac it produced at a very marginal rate at best. COMMISSIONER FOERSTER: Okay. Thank you. CHAIR SEAMOUNT: Commissioner Norman. COMMISSIONER NORMAN: Mr. Van Dyke, if you -- where is the nearest offtake point for fresh water utilized by the public in that area, Barrow, Wainwright or other, if you know? MR. VAN DYKE: Commissioner Norman, it would be surface water in Barrow and I don't know exactly which -- where that is. We could chase that down for you if you would like. COMMISSIONER NORMAN: Well, as you know that's an important responsibility of ours to protect freshwater so that would be appreciated if you could after the hearing, we could leave the record open if you could let us know where the closest offtake point is for freshwater. MR. VAN DYKE: Will do. COMMISSIONER NORMAN: That's a11. CHAIR SEAMOUNT: Thank you. Mr. Van Dyke, according to our production records the number 15 well was producing 160 mcf a day when it was shut-in which -- I mean, that's within the same order of magnitude as the other producers in the field. Is -- are any of the wells planned to be drilled going to somewhat offset this well? MR. VAN DYKE: Mr. Chairman, for the EB 15 well we plan to R& R C O U R T R E P O R T E R S 811 G STREET (907)277-0572/Fax 274-8982 ANCHORAGE, ALASKA 99501 22 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 drill two horizontal wells in that same gas pool. CHAIR SEAMOUNT: Okay. And then you're going to be disposing of at least water into the same zone that you're going to be producing from in the other wells. Are you aware of any kind of compatibility of the water with the reservoir? MR. VAN DYKE: Mr. Chairman, we couldn't find any incompatibility issues, you know, in prior injection operations. CHAIR SEAMOUNT: Okay. MR. VAN DYKE: And the volume -- you know, if all the volume -- if we injected the full 50,000 barrels even in EB 15, you know, and I guess in a vacuum 50,000 barrels sounds like a lot of fluid, but when you do the calculations, I mean, you're only going to have a zone of influence of maybe 150 feet away from that well. It's -- you know, this is not gas cap water injection at Prudhoe Bay or grind and inject disposal operations at Prudhoe Bay, I mean, it's -- in the grand scheme of things as far as disposal operations, it's relatively small, but at the same time it's very important for the Borough. CHAIR SEAMOUNT: Okay. Thank you. Any other questions or comments? COMMISSIONER FOERSTER: I have more, but I'm going to II wait..... CHAIR SEAMOUNT: Okay. COMMISSIONER FOERSTER: .....maybe they'll be addressed.

Is it Ms. McMullen's turn? TESTIMONY OF BARB McMULLEN (CONTINUED) MS. McMULLEN: Okay. Commissioners, I'm just going to go over the geology section here of 6 and the well section on 7. As pointed out earlier we have the two candidates for disposal, SB 13 and East Barrow 15, again located in separate gas fields. The South Barrow 13 is in the South Barrow Gas .Field and as labeled typically SB 15 is in the East Barrow Gas Field. Our proposed disposal interval is the Barrow sandstone and in these wells, it's located at a depth where the sands are either water wet or gas depleted. And neither well is any longer producing gas. South Barrow 13 is located in an isolated fault block with one other well, NSB 02, and both wells right now are planned for P&A after this drilling campaign is over. And SB 13 is a structurally lower well. South Barrow or East Barrow 15 is structurally the deepest well in the East Barrow Field and it is on the northern flank of the field. Both of our new wells that we plan to drill will be going due south and due east, so the opposite direction from where this injection -- disposal injection well is going to be used. The geology of both gas fields is well understood due to good well control, core and log data and 2-D seismic in the area. Reservoir properties and the lateral continuity of reservoir sands are well documented. The geologic report describing the proposed injection interval and confining layers R 8 R C O U R T R E P O R T E R S 811 G STREET (907)277-0572/Fax 274-8982 ANCHORAGE, ALASKA 99501 24 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 is provided in this attachment 1 here along with a lot of the graphics and maps. And I would like to point out in attachment 1S, it is mislabeled, it should be the -- it's a structure map, it should be the top of the upper Barrow sandstone and not the Walakpa sandstone. Do you need an additional map with the title change or is that something that -- on the record now that's..... CHAIR SEAMOUNT: I would think we should. COMMISSIONER FOERSTER: Okay. CHAIR SEAMOUNT: Or we shouldn't? COMMISSIONER FOERSTER: Well, I was thinking we could just scratch it out and write the right name. CHAIR SEAMOUNT: Is that legal, Mr. Assistant Attorney General? MR. BALLENTINE: CHAIR SEAMOUNT: hand correct the errs supplied, I -- we do MR. BALLENTINE: CHAIR SEAMOUNT: it? I didn't hear the proposal. Commissioner Foerster's proposal was to ~r on one of the maps that the applicant that with..... It might be better if the applicant..... It would be better if the applicant did MR. BALLENTINE: Yeah. CHAIR SEAMOUNT: Why don't you hand scratch it? MS. McMULLEN: Okay. All right. The Barrow sandstone averages about 100 gross feet in this area and is comprised on R& R C O U R T R E P O R T E R S 811 G STREET (907)277-0572/Fax 274-8982 ANCHORAGE, ALASKA 99501 25 • 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 consolidated sands and shales. The sands contain relatively low porosity values, anywhere from 4 to about 24 percent and permeability values are under about 400 millidarcies. And also note for the purposes of this report the Walakpa sandstone is included in the pool here in the Barrow -- with the Barrow sandstone in the South Field, even though the Walakpa sand is about 100 vertical feet above it. So part of the pool, that Walakpa sand's in there. And that particular sand at South Barrow does have perforations, but in the East Barrow Field the Walakpa sands are not perforated. Structurally the Barrow sandstone is encountered around 2,000 feet subsea and faulting is minor in both fields and reservoir structure therefore is relatively uncomplicated. The Barrow sandstone lies between two substantial confining layers and it is capped by about 1,000 feet of permafrost. The base permafrost is estimated at a minimum depth of about 1,000 feet subsea and that is based on temperature surveys in these wells. Beneath the permafrost a thick sequence of about 1,000 feet of lateral extensive cretaceous shales and sand stringers act as a confining cap for the disposal interval. No commercial hydrocarbons are found above the Walakpa sandstone. And again note that the Walakpa sandstone in South Barrow is perforated. And below the Barrow sandstone a relatively thin sequence, about 50 to 200 feet of triassic sands occur just above the argillaceous basement and no commercial hydrocarbon bearing R& R C O U R T R E P O R T E R S 811 G STREET (907)277-0572/Fax 274-8982 ANCHORAGE, ALASKA 99501 26 • 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 zones underlie the Barrow sandstone in either field. So with the cap above and cap below we feel that the Barrow sandstones are confined. And section 7 shows the well logs for South Barrow 13 and East Barrow 15. South Barrow 13 was drilled to argillaceous basement and 2,476 measured depth, but East Barrow 15 was not drilled to basement, only about a 100 measured depth feet below the lower Barrow sandstone. And perforation intervals are also annotated on the logs. CHAIR SEAMOUNT: Commissioner Norman, do you have any questions? COMMISSIONER NORMAN: No questions. CHAIR SEAMOUNT: Commissioner Foerster? COMMISSIONER FOERSTER: I have a few. Do you have the original reservoir pressure for the Barrow sand? MS. McMULLEN: Commissioner, I do not have that initial information. Dan, do you? MR. LOWS: Well, I mean, how exact. It's right around 960. COMMISSIONER FOERSTER: And how about the current, is there an estimate of the current pressure? MR. LOWE: Go ahead. MR. VAN DYKE: Commissioner Foerster, Mr. Stokes is prepared to speak to reservoir pressures and POZ analysis and reserve reports that PRA has prepared for the North Slope R& R C O U R T R E P O R T E R S 811 G STREET (907)277-0572/Fax 274-8982 ANCHORAGE, ALASKA 99501 27 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13' 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Borough. And if it's okay with you he would do that after we run through the formal sections in the application. COMMISSIONER FOERSTER: Okay. I can wait for that answer then. You said that the 15 was now wet and the 13 is now depleted, is that correct? MR. LOWE: 15 was drilled into the water leg, the lower Barrow sand was in water, the upper Barrow was in gas. So it was a very poor well from the beginning.. So it wasn't -- it wasn't one of the better wells. And South Barrow 13 has been depleted, it no longer -- neither one is producing anymore. COMMISSIONER FOERSTER: And neither one has the capability of producing? MR. VAN DYKE: Commissioner, I wouldn't -- I would say that if you went in and worked over these wells and, you know, plugged off water and spent a lot of money, you could probably still get a little bit of gas. I wouldn't deny that that's possible, but that would not be the wise choice in this case. COMMISSIONER FOERSTER: Thank you. That's all right now. CHAIR SEAMOUNT: Okay. You mentioned the fault box, Ms. McMullen, do these faults seal? MS. McMULLEN: Chairman, I believe they do seal along with microfaults in there that were formed prior to hydrocarbon migration. We do see pressure differences, especially in the South Field between the NSB 2 and South Barrow 13 wells and the fault block to the north, so yes, we're going on the consensus R& R C O U R T R E P O R T E R S 811 G STREET (907)277-0572/Fax 274-8982 ANCHORAGE, ALASKA 99501 28 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 that it's sealing. CHAIR SEAMOUNT: what's the displacement on the faults? MS. McMULLEN: It varies anywhere from 10 to 15 feet to maybe, you know, 50 feet. CHAIR SEAMOUNT: Okay. They're little baby ones then? MS. McMULLEN: Correct. CHAIR SEAMOUNT: You mentioned argillaceous basement..... MS. McMULLEN: Basement. CHAIR SEAMOUNT: .....what age is this argillaceous basement? MS. McMULLEN: It's the metamorphic rocks..... CHAIR SEAMOUNT: Is that right? MS. McMULLEN: .....that are below the -- yeah. CHAIR SEAMOUNT: Okay. All right. On the structure maps it shows number 13 almost as high as a lot of the producers and, I guess, if it's depleted and the other ones are not then, I guess, that where your fault block, fault trapping comes in, is that interpretation correct? MS. McMULLEN: Yeah, Mr. Chairman. That's the fault block, that east/west fault there is the one that's sealing this NSB 2, South Barrow 13 area from the northern area here. And I believe neither well right now is producing, but..... MR. VAN DYKE: Well, if I may, Mr. Chairman. Actually NSB produces at low rates, but it's only because in the past that's where the Borough had its mercaptan injection point, you know, R& R C O U R T R E P O R T E R S 811 G STREET (907)277-0572/Fax 274-8982 ANCHORAGE, ALASKA 99501 29 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 where it puts the odorant into the natural gas. And that mercaptan station is being moved and the Borough would prefer not to produce NSB 2. CHAIR SEAMOUNT: Okay. MR. VAN DYKE: Once the mercaptan station is moved. CHAIR SEAMOUNT: Well, I believe that number 2 is quite a bit higher structurally than the number 13? MS. McMULLEN: Correct. CHAIR SEAMOUNT: Okay. COMMISSIONER FOERSTER: But they're both going to be plugged? MS. McMULLEN: They're both slated for P&A. CHAIR SEAMOUNT: What kind of drive is this, you mentioned -- I think someone -- you've mentioned water production, watered out, is it a strong water drive? MR. VAN DYKE: Mr. Chairman, Mr. Stokes and Pete will speak to that..... CHAIR SEAMOUNT: Okay. MR. VAN DYKE: .....you know, once we get through the rest of the application. But it's a -- it's very -- you know, the fields are very interesting because of the hydrate -- presence of the hydrates. CHAIR SEAMOUNT: Okay. Any other questions or comments? COMMISSIONER FOERSTER: Not at this time. COMMISSIONER NORMAN: No questions.

VAN DYKE: Mr. Chairman, I'll go back on the record. Bill Van Dyke with PRA. Number 8 in the approval criteria speaks to the well casing information and mechanical integrity. We've provided attachments, 6 and 6A show the well construction for both wells, attachment 7 and 7A show the well schematics and attachments 8 and 8A show the tubing and casing specifications. I think it was noted, but I'll repeat it again. Both wells are completed without packers and both wells at this moment have open perforations. I don't know how much detail you want me to go through on the well construction, I mean, the completion diagrams, the completion reports, you know, have the casing information, cementing information. I would -- I guess for the record at least I'll note that, you know, well EB 15 had a two stage cement job, there's about 750 feet of cement in the bottom of the well across the Barrow sands, then there's another oh, plus or minus 400 feet of cement up at 1,300 feet. If you -- if you do the math those two cement jobs should have overlapped, but there's no way to guarantee that they did. But there's certainly adequate cement in that well in a 7 inch casing, while SB 13 was -- the casing is cemented all the way to surf ace . COMMISSIONER FOERSTER: And do you have any cement bond logs for either of those wells? MR. VAN DYKE: Yes. R& R C O U R T R E P O R T E R S 811 G STREET (907)277-0572/Fax 274-8982 ANCHORAGE, ALASKA 99501 31 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 COMMISSIONER FOERSTER: And what do those look like? MR. VAN DYKE: Commissioner, I don't feel qualified to look at the bond logs and they were found to be acceptable when the wells were drilled at the time. And the casing was tested before. COMMISSIONER FOERSTER: Mr. Lowe, are you qualified to make an assessment on those -- the quality of those bond logs? MR. LOWE: Yes. COMMISSIONER FOERSTER: Would you do so? MR. LOWE: As soon as I find them, yes. COMMISSIONER FOERSTER: Okay. CHAIR SEAMOUNT: We may have them. MR. LOWE: Oh, really. Okay. COMMISSIONER FOERSTER: We have them. MR. VAN DYKE: We have one, Commissioner. MR. LOWS: They did do a 2,000 pound pressure test of the casing and the casing does have two F0, you know, sliding sleeves, you know, that they cemented through, but after the casing test they ran the wireline logs and, you know, there's nothing else that went into the hole after that that would have accidently opened those sleeves, plus they did the casing test. They produced it for five or six years and never saw any kind of leakage so that should still be fully adequate. COMMISSIONER FOERSTER: Thank you. MR. VAN DYKE: Again I don't know if it's your preference R& R C O U R T R E P O R T E R S 811 G STREET (907)277-0572/Fax 274-8982 ANCHORAGE, ALASKA 99501 32 • 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 81 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 to actually just, you know, read through the completion report, you know, and state all the casing strings and depths, I -- it's..... COMMISSIONER FOERSTER: I don't think we need that, do you? CHAIR SEAMOUNT: I think it's in the record, yeah. MR. VAN DYKE: It's on the record. Okay. Thank you. As far as the types of fluids that we wish to inject, we listed those in our discussion in section 9, it's a rather lengthy paragraph because we wanted to be as explicit as we could on the types of injection fluids we hope to inject. They would all be approved Class II fluids and we're asking for -- to be allowed to inject at least 50,000 barrels maximum. And I don't think I maybe stated this earlier. We're -- at this point in time we're not sure if we're going to use both wells or only one well and if we only use one well we don't know which of the two wells that would be so we'd like to have both wells approved. COMMISSIONER FOERSTER: So in your application you listed camp waste as a disposable fluid, that's not Class II? MR. VAN DYKE: Okay. COMMISSIONER FOERSTER: So that would not be something that we allow you, are you aware of that? MR. VAN DYKE: Yes. COMMISSIONER FOERSTER: Okay. Okay. R& R C O U R T R E P O R T E R S 811 G STREET (907)277-0572/Fax 274-8982 ANCHORAGE, ALASKA 99501 33 • 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9~, 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 MR. VAN DYKE: And in addition as far as the injection fluids, we would -- we would request approval regardless of which well we use and which field it's in, that we be allowed to inject waste from all three gas fields into that well. COMMISSIONER FOERSTER: Okay. MR. VAN DYKE: So if the well's in East Barrow, we would like to be able to bring fluids over from South Barrow and from Walakpa. COMMISSIONER FOERSTER: But no domestic waste? MR. VAN DYKE: No, no domestic waste. COMMISSIONER FOERSTER: Okay. MR. VAN DYKE: We have an agreement with the North Slope Borough that camp waste will go to the Barrow wastewater treatment plant. As far as maximum injection pressures and surface pressures and average injection rates, again the -- there have been, and this information is in your records, Glasby (ph) 5 was used as a disposal well, again in the exact manner that we're proposing to use these two wells, while SB 13 was fracture stimulated while SB 20 was acid stimulated. And those wells have no problem with well construction issues and were able to take fluids, injection fluids, successfully. Now we looking at those past operations, you know, average injection pressures were between 400 and 800 pounds at the surface. In order to kick off the wells pressures were in the range of R& R C O U R T R E P O R T E R S 811 G STREET (907)277-0572/Fax 274-8982 ANCHORAGE, ALASKA 99501 34 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 1,200 to 1,500 pounds, just to get fluids to start to move at least on one of the operations, but then average pressure after that was 400 to 800 pounds, couple barrels a minute injection rate. And we would certainly have -- our injection pumps would be equipped with safety relief valves, you know, safety shutoff equipment and certainly proper measurement equipment for volumes. You know as far as the fracture information that Commissioner Foerster asked about earlier, we did not contract out to have a separate simulation analysis run by a third party. V~Ie plan to limit our injection pressures and we also plan to inject in relatively small batches because, you know, we'll be drilling one well at a time and so there'll be some liquid waste from one well at a time then there'll be down time in between. And at least from the fracture simulation models that I've seen run for other operations, when you inject -- when you do this off and on sort of batch disposal, the model results I've seen is that you tend to grow lots of short, small fractures, you don't grow one long fracture because you're injecting -- you inject for a day and then you shut down for a week, you know, or you inject for two days and then you shut down for a week. And so at least the modeling I've seen in the past is that you -- if you do fracture you grow a series of very small fractures along the wellbore rather than one very long fracture. R& R C O U R T R E P O R T E R S 811 G STREET (907)277-0572/Fax 274-8982 ANCHORAGE, ALASKA 99501 35 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 COMMISSIONER FOERSTER: How would that work since do -- do the stresses -- are the stresses different at this shallow a depth because, you know, in my experience with fracturing you follow the plane of least principal stress, and everything you pump is going to go on that plane. So I wouldn't imagine a fan of different fracs, I would imagine the same -- the same cracks coming open again and again and again. And..... MR. VAN DYKE: I am not a fracture simulation expert or rock mechanics expert, but just having reviewed some of these studies in the past which are in your records, you know, available for the Commission to review, that is the rock mechanics behavior that are exhibited. Section 12 of the approval criteria are the formation water .quality information. Again we have a pretty good inventory of water samples from South Barrow and East Barrow. They're included in attachment 9 in the application. Total dissolved solids are -- well, the lowest one I saw was 16,000 parts per million TDS, most of them are in the range of 20 to 25,000 parts per million total dissolved solids. There was no subsurface freshwater or drinking water sources penetrated by these wells and we will follow-up as far as the Barrow freshwater sources. And as Ms. McMullen said, the permafrost thickness is in the range of about 1,000 feet in the area of both wells. One of the orders, and I think it's a disposal injection order at R& R C O U R T R E P O R T E R S 811 G STREET (907)277-0572/Fax 274-8982 ANCHORAGE, ALASKA 99501 36 ~ a 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 that time used a permafrost depth of about 500 foot thickness and there's been a lot of study done since then on permafrost in this area and certainly we believe that the permafrost depth is closer to 1,000 feet rather than the 500 feet that's included in one of the orders for these fields. With respect to aquifer exemptions, based on the water salinities we don't believe an aquifer exemption is required. We hope that that is also the ruling from the Commission. COMMISSIONER NORMAN: And that's based upon water quality analysis information you've provided? MR. VAN DYKE: Yes, that's based on the..... COMMISSIONER NORMAN: Yeah. MR. VAN DYKE: .....water qualities that are shown in attachment 9 to the application. With respect to mechanical integrity of other wells within a quarter mile radius, there are no existing wells within a quarter mile radius of either SB 13 or EB 15 and the new wells we've proposed to drill will not be within a quarter mile radius of either well. Section 15, mechanical integrity demonstration, as I stated these wells are existing wells, they have casing, tubing handing in the casing, no packer and open perforations so we would request a waiver for an exemption on some of the mechanical integrity testing requirements because we cannot test -- we have no packer to test against between the casing R& R C O U R T R E P O R T E R S 811 G STREET (907)277-0572/Fax 274-8982 ANCHORAGE, ALASKA 99501 37 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 and tubing in that annulus. And we don't plan to have -- to bring a rig on location for either well. Both wells are located some distance away from where we will be drilling so the plan would not be to come in first and workover these wells. We believe a waiver is warranted because the wells have exhibited good cement and construction properties. The casing was tested in the wells when they were drilled. Our injection volumes will be relatively small when you think about disposal wells in the grand scheme of things. Our injection operations will have a limited period of time when we're actually using the wells and we'll be using them in intermediate stages even when we do use them. We will so closely monitor the surface injection .pressures and casing pressures. There was a formation integrity test run in EB 15, that's in your records. It's shown in attachment 10 in the application. That was the only actual formation integrity test that I could find in the records, you know, when these wells were being drilled. And I think they tested to a gradient of .61 PSI per foot when they -- in that test. No mechanical integrity problems have been noted during the previous well stimulation or disposal injection operations. The production history for these wells are shown, it's attachment 11 and 11A, the last two attachments. Both wells have been shut-in for a number of years. R& R C O U R T R E P O R T E R S 811 G STREET (907)277-0572/Fax 274-8982 ANCHORAGE, ALASKA 99501 38 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 With respect to the mechanical integrity of other wells within a quarter mile radius, again there are no other wells within a quarter mile radius. And then section 17, well design construction and testing, again, you know, the wells are cemented across the disposal interval and well above the disposal interval. We would request a waiver that the wells be required to be completed with a packer. And again attachments 6, 6A, 7, 7A and 8, 8A, show the well construction details which we believe are sufficient. Then with respect to notices to be filed with the Commission, we will file these notices as required. We have not prepared -- for example, we've not prepared sundry notices for any P&A operations yet or any conversion operations for these wells or permits to drill for the new wells. We'll get that in -- get those in with plenty of time to spare, but -- and we realize we have to do that, but we'll get them in as required. That's a go through the application at least on a high level. If you have any questions now we could entertain those and as I said Mr. Stokes is here to -- if you're interested more in the reservoir dynamics, the gas pool dynamics themselves rather than the disposal well specifically, Mr. Stokes could speak to that.

CHAIR SEAMOUNT: Commissioner Norman. COMMISSIONER NORMAN: Just maybe to avoid recall, the proposal here then is for injection of between 30 and 50,000 barrels of liquid and some solids, is that right, within a maximum of a one year period? MR. VAN DYKE: Commissioner Norman, that's correct. We would request 30,000 barrels of liquids and then as a contingency another 20,000 barrels of slurried cuttings. COMMISSIONER NORMAN: Okay. And then could you summarize again the waivers that you feel -- you're asking for? MR. VAN DYKE: We would ask that the wells not be required to be completed with a packer, so waiver on the packers. COMMISSIONER NORMAN: Right. MR. VAN DYKE: And a waiver on the requirement for a mechanical integrity test on the annulus because we have open perforations and no packer so we can't -- we have a hard time getting there otherwise. COMMISSIONER NORMAN: Okay. Thank you. CHAIR SEAMOUNT: Thank you. Methane hydrates were mentioned, what depth are they located at? MR.

CHAIR SEAMOUNT: Well, it's an interesting aside. MR. VAN DYKE: Yeah. CHAIR SEAMOUNT: Okay. Are you two finished testifying for now? MR. VAN DYKE: Just one closing comment, I mean, you mentioned hydrates, you know, this project started, there was going to be a -- the federal government was going to be involved and it was going to be a hydrates gas science project. And that helped get the project going, they were going to help fund mobe and demobe of the rig, you know, some of the equipment, some of the standby. And they -- that went along for a few years and last year -- late last year, the federal government pulled out of the project. And that got rid of the gas hydrates science tests. It also got rid of a big piece of the budget that we were hoping to use and so we've been scrambling ever since to revise the project. But that's just sort of a little bit of the history on the gas hydrate. You may have read something about proposal to drill some hydrate test wells up there, that was going to be a federal campaign that is no longer on the books. CHAIR SEAMOUNT: Okay.

TESTIMONY OF PETE STOKES MR. STOKES: Okay. My name is Pete Stokes and I work for PRA and have done quite a few projects for the North Slope Borough as a petroleum engineer. I have a degree in Mining and Mechanical Engineering from the University of Alaska. I am a licensed Petroleum Engineer in the state of California and the state of Alaska. I've worked previously for Union Oil and Unocal in Alaska and California, Oklahoma, Indonesia and then back in Alaska. I've worked for PRA since about 2004 and as I stated I've done several studies on these reservoirs in the North Slope Borough's gas fields. What I'm going to talk about is sort of the reserve study that I did back in 2006 for the East Barrow Field and the South Barrow Fields. CHAIR SEAMOUNT: Okay. Thank you, Mr. Stokes.

CHAIR SEAMOUNT: Accepted. Sorry. English wasn't my best subject. MR. STOKES: There have been several questions around reservoir pressure and reservoir drive mechanisms and I'll just sort of give you sort of a brief overview of my knowledge of the fields. PRA was engaged back in 2005 to do a reservoir reserve study in the Walakpa Field and we did go out and get downhole pressure data in Walakpa and wrote up a reserves report for them. Subsequently they asked us to do the same for their South and East Barrow Fields. As was pointed out earlier, there's some naming conventions, I believe, the AOGCC refers to the East Field as the East Pool of the South Barrow Field and then the South Field as south of the South Pool of the South Barrow Field. CHAIR SEAMOUNT: That was before my time. MR. STOKES: Unfortunately it's very confusing to really understand where the wells were and where the well records were, but we've sort of gotten past that. I have researched a lot of the earlier well records in the South and East Barrow Fields and have found work that had been done previously when they drilled the wells. And just talking about South Barrow 13 which is in the NSB 2 fault block if you will which is isolated from the other wells in the South Barrow R& R C O U R T R E P O R T E R S 811 G STREET (907)277-0572/Fax 274-8982 ANCHORAGE, ALASKA 99501 44 ~ ~ 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Field, there's two wells and the original pressures that were reported for South Barrow 13 was 859 PSI and the original pressure reported for NSB 2 was 896 PSI. Now once again in researching records oftentimes you're not able to really pinpoint exactly where that pressure was estimated at, but that's what I found in the record. For our 2006 pressure campaign we did downhole pressure build-ups in NSB number 2 and found that fault block pressure at that time to be 758 PSI. It's a rather small fault block, it hasn't been too much depleted and the reason why is both of those wells were pretty poor wells from a permeability standpoint and they just were not very good producers. I might point out here that we were talking about having a well being able to -- capable of producing 150 MCF a day and that was sort of the last producing rate that is shown on the records. What has evolved over the years with the -- supplying the city of Barrow with gas is initially the South Field was discovered and produced and it met all of their fuel needs. Subsequent to that the East Barrow Pool was discovered and it helped meet additional needs. And then in 1990 the Walakpa Field was discovered and then subsequently developed and now it meets substantially all of the Borough's needs for gas to supply the city of Barrow. Unfortunately Walakpa is not accessible by roads, it's - - there's a pipeline only and it's R& R C O U R T R E P O R T E R S 811 G STREET (907)277-0572/Fax 274-8982 ANCHORAGE, ALASKA 99501 45 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 accessible either by helicopter on tundra travel vehicles or obviously ice -- snow roads in the wintertime. So it's not very convenient to operate as it would be if you could drive to the wells. But unfortunately it's the bulk of the remaining reserves for the North Slope Borough providing energy to Barrow. So it's the area where we're going to drill four wells in this -- in this development program. And the two wells that'll be drilled in East Barrow are wells that will provide sort of an alternative supply in case there's something that happens to the Walakpa pipeline, for example, or -- and they are accessible by road and they are pretty high reservoir pressure currently. And I'll get into my hydrate story in a minute, but so that's sort of the -- how the development has played out for the Barrow Gas Fields including Walakpa. Well, once Walakpa was developed and was capable of producing at averages of 500 and 600 MCF a day, the smaller depleted gas wells in -- specifically in the South Field, and the wells are not as capable in the South Field such as SB 13 and NSB 2, they were not operated because it takes a lot of effort to produce a well and keep it from forming hydrates and freezing up in the winter, a lot of ethanol needs to be used. Obviously it's a manpower issue to keep small wells going when you've got the main wells that you're operating 20 miles to the south that you have to be out with tundra travel type vehicles. R& R C O U R T R E P O R T E R S 811 G STREET (907)277-0572/Fax 274-8982 ANCHORAGE, ALASKA 99501 46 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12' 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 So as a result these wells are not produced and not considered viable commercially when they've got other production from Walakpa. We did consider a slate of these wells, putting together a stimulation package and seeing if we could economically mobilize a coil tubing unit and a acid spread to come over and attempt to stimulate them, but unfortunately we were not able to get bidders to come over and do that. So as a result these wells are slated for abandonment because they're not capable of being commercial. Now the East Barrow, once again that's a separate area over to the east and it was developed after South Barrow. The original pressure in East Barrow 15 was 962 PSI and the original report in East Barrow was 963 PSI. And what we're seeing currently in the reservoir that East Barrow 14 is producing out of, it's currently at 935 PSI and it has built back up over time due to lack of production. The original hypothesis by earlier engineers was that there was a strong water drive that was encroaching into the East Barrow fault block and that was why the pressures did not decline as you would normally expect a volumetric reservoir to decline over time or over production. We have since produced well in excess of what they thought the reservoir would produce if there were a strong active water drive coming in and watering out the wells. And we speculate R& R C O U R T R E P O R T E R S 811 G STREET (907)277-0572/Fax 274-8982 ANCHORAGE, ALASKA 99501 47 i +~- 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 or we have convinced ourselves that there's probably a hydrate layer in the upper part of the East Barrow reservoir that is disassociated as you reduce the reservoir pressure from producing the gas. And we have done modeling that shows that the hydrate stability zone is on the order of 2,000 feet in the East Barrow Field. So we feel like when we put these two horizontals into the East Barrow Field that we will not only have backup for the community of Barrow, but we'll also be producing and depressuring this hydrate zone that's -- that feel is at the upper end of the -- or on the top of the reservoir. So are there any questions? CHAIR SEAMOUNT: Commissioner Norman, do you have any questions? COMMISSIONER NORMAN: Just one. Could you comment on whether permeability of the receiving zone presents any challenge to use of the wells as injection wells? I think Mr. Van Dyke also made a brief comment about that. MR. STOKES: Yes, I've really not been involved in water disposal and fracing so I can't comment on that. COMMISSIONER NORMAN: Thank you. CHAIR SEAMOUNT: Commissioner Foerster? COMMISSIONER FOERSTER: No questions. CHAIR SEAMOUNT: Are these fields under compression at II all? R& R C O U R T R E P O R T E R S 811 G STREET (907)277-0572/Fax 274-8982 ANCHORAGE, ALASKA 99501 48 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 MR. STOKES: Chair Seamount, the -- there are no compression. The fields are produced at just pipeline pressures and then the pipeline takes it to a central gathering facility in South Barrow and it's..... CHAIR SEAMOUNT: Okay. MR. STOKES: .....dehydrated and shipped to town in a pipeline quality pipeline. CHAIR SEAMOUNT: Do you ever foresee compression? MR. STOKES: I -- from what we understand the reserves in Walakpa to be, if we drill these four short, horizontal laterals we would not have compression needs for many years..... CHAIR SEAMOUNT: Okay. MR. STOKES: ......understanding the demand of the village I of Barrow. CHAIR SEAMOUNT: And did you mention reserve estimates, remaining reserves? MR. STOKES: We did a calculation for Walakpa and the remaining reserves there depending on the amount of usage is on the order of 150 to 200 BCF remaining. Now at East Barrow because of the hydrate recharge which was originally thought to be water influx, we have not made an estimate of what the reserves are. In the South Barrow northern fault block, we anticipate remaining reserves to be about 8 BCF. And NSB 2 fault block which is where South Barrow 13 is, the remaining R& R C O U R T R E P O R T E R S 811 G STREET (907)277-0572/Fax 274-8982 ANCHORAGE, ALASKA 99501 49 • 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 reserves there were less than one BCF. CHAIR SEAMOUNT: Okay. Is -- are there hydrates in all the fields? MR. STOKES: We feel like probably at Walakpa there is because that sand is very continuous to the north and would be going up dip into the hydrate stability zone. And that is another issue of why I give a range for Walakpa reserves because there appears to be potentially a big aquifer to the south from the Brontosaurs well which is 20 miles to the south and then there's the potential of a big hydrate cap to the north of dip. In South Barrow we feel that the northern fault block, we feel like it's been more of a volumetric decline and we -- the modeling that we did for hydrate stability did not show that the reservoir was in the hydrate stability zone, it was too warm. That was the other thing in Walakpa, we did extensive modeling there as well and did show that was a hydrate stability zone up dip of the producing wells. CHAIR SEAMOUNT: Okay. I haven't been paying attention to the methane hydrate science projects, but if you produce -- if you're getting a contribution from methane hydrates, wouldn't you -- I mean, wouldn't you produce a lot of water along with it? MR. STOKES: We have in our reservoir simulations it does show obviously you've got something to -- you've got water when disassociate the hydrate clath rate and you've got methane gas.

We would not anticipate seeing water in the wells and we have not experienced that in East Barrow where we feel like the most likely place we have hydrates. CHAIR SEAMOUNT: Fascinating. Commissioner Norman, any other questions? COMMISSIONER NORMAN: No questions. CHAIR SEAMOUNT: Commissioner Foerster? COMMISSIONER FOERSTER: No questions. CHAIR SEAMOUNT: Okay. Thank you, Mr. Stokes. I think we should probably take a 15 minute recess. COMMISSIONER NORMAN: Could I ask one follow-up of Mr. Van Dyke before we go on break? CHAIR SEAMOUNT: Go ahead. COMMISSIONER NORMAN: Mr. Van Dyke, part of the same question I asked Mr. Stokes and maybe I misunderstood, but I thought I heard you just briefly mention that permeability might present some challenge to the receiving zone being able to accept injection of liquids. Did I hear that right or not? MR. VAN DYKE: Commissioner Norman, I don't believe I made that statement, but the sands are, you know, relatively low permeability compared to again some of the shallow sands at Prudhoe Bay or, you know, the (indiscernible), but from the R& R C O U R T R E P O R T E R S 811 G STREET (907)277-0572/Fax 274-8982 ANCHORAGE, ALASKA 99501 51 • 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 injection operations that we have had in the past at Barrow, acid stimulation, fracture stimulation, the disposal operation in well SB 5, this Barrow sand certainly appears capable of taking fluids at, you know, reasonable pressures. COMMISSIONER NORMAN: Thank you. CHAIR SEAMOUNT: Okay. At this time I'd like to take a 15 minute break. And I'd like to be 10 minutes, but we're always -- we always go over so try to be honest and say 15 and we're probably lying about that. But that means 10:42 we'll come back. And we're off the record at 10:22. (Off record - 10:22 a.m.) (On record - 10:36 a.m.) CHAIR SEAMOUNT: We're back on record at 10:37, 10:38, whatever.

But this isn't central to our determination, I just..... MS. McMULLEN: No, my -- the information that I know about 15 is -- I don't know the historical production history on here other than the lower Barrow sand was water wet here and so the upper Barrow sand, which is of lower quality and more in the transition zone here. So as far as production goes, this was not one of the better wells, you know, more down dip on the flank. Does that answer your..... COMMISSIONER NORMAN: That answers. MS. McMULLEN: Okay.

Seamount, Chairman Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission 333 West 7th Avenue, Suite 100 Anchorage, AK 99501 RE: North Slope Borough Barrow Gas Fields Application for Disposal Injection Order, and Application for Approval of Two UIC Class II Disposal Wells Dear Chairman Seamount: RECEIVED MAR 0 1. 2010 Alaska Q~ ~ bas Ceps. Corrunission Anohoralte In accordance with the Commission's regulations, enclosed are the North Slope Borough's (NSB) applications for a disposal injection order and two UIC Class II disposal wells located in the Barrow Gas Fields. The NSB is the oper of the wells and the Barrow Gas Fields. Wells South Barrow (SB) 13 (Permit #100-037) and East Barrow (EB) 15 (Permit 100-045) are existing depleted gas wells we plan to convert to disposal wells while our 2010/2011 in-fill drilling program is underway. Upon completion of the drilling program, the two disposal wells will be plugged and abandoned. Note that the EB 15 well is referred to as the SB 15 well in some files. The Barrow gas fields are addressed in Conservation Order #233. The wells will be operated similar to disposal well South Barrow #5 which was approved by the AOGCC as a dispo well in 1987. See DIO #5. Well SB #5 was used successfully by the NSB as a temporary disposal well during on the past Barrow drilling campaigns, then plugged and abandoned. We will not begin to inject into the wells until the applications and other required authorizations are approved by the Commission. Either or both of the wells will be used as injection wells. We have not finalized our plans and at this time we do no know if only one of the wells is required or if both wells will be operated over the course of our drilling campaign. SB well is located in the South field and the EB well is located in the East field. The Barrow Gas Fields do not require an AOGCC or EPA Aquifer Exemption. In-situ water salinities are far above the EPA/AOGCC lower-level trigger levels. Data are provided with this submittal showing the high salinities of the tested water samples. In fact, all observed water salinities anywhere below the base of the permafrost appear to exceed the EPA/AOGCC lower-level trigger levels in the East and South field areas. These disposal wells will be used for a time period of less than 12 months and the total volume of injected fluids will be small in relative terms compared to most other disposal wells on the North Slope. The intended purpose of the disposal wells is to safely and efficiently dispose of liquid wastes generated from the drilling and P&A programs. Only fluids authorized to be injected into Class II disposal wells will be injected. Petrotechnical Resources Alaska (PRA) has been retained by the NSB to provide technical and management services for this project. PRA prepared these applications. Any technical questions related to this application should be addressed directly to PRA at the attention of Mr. Bill Van Dyke. If you have any general questions related to this application please contact me immediately. We are making plans to barge the rig and heavy equipment to Barrow this coming summer and spud our first new gas development well as early as September 2010. The enclosed applications follow the framework set out in the AOGCC regulations. We understand that we need both a Disposal Injection Order for injection of waste into the Barrow gas sands as well as approval for the Class II wells. Sundry Notices to convert the two existing wells to Class II injection wells will be filed in the near future. Sincerely, Marvin L.

Well Production Histories 4 t North Slope Borough ~ ~ ` Application for Disposal Injection Order and UIC Class II Disposal Wells Barrow Gas Fields Discussion of Approval Criteria 1. Letter of Application (20 AAC 25.252 (a)) The NSB is making application for two UIC Class II disposal wells. See enclosed cover letter. The wells, SB 13 and EB 15, are existing wells and have approved permits to drill (100-037 and 100-045, respectively). Note that the EB 15 well is also referred to as the SB 15 well in some files. The SB 13 and EB 15 wells are depleted gas wells in the South and East Barrow gas fields respectively, and we plan to convert them to temporary disposal wells, which will then be plugged and abandoned once our drilling program is completed in mid 2011. The wells will be used to dispose of produced fluids, spent drilling mud, cement contaminated drilling mud, reserve pit fluids, pipe scale, production waste, rig and camp wash fluids, storm water, plug and abandonment fluids, excess cementing fluids, completion fluids, formation fluids associated with the act of drilling a well, excess and makeup water necessary to facilitate injection, new product cleanup fluids, mud and brine pit rinsate, diesel, arctic pack, pipe scale and pipe dope, treated domestic waste water, miscellaneous work over fluids originating from any wells we plan to plug and abandon in the Barrow Gas Fields and the Walakpa Gas Field and other substances the Commission determines on application are wastes associated with the act of drilling a well permitted under 20 AAC 25.005. It is possible that slurried/ground drill cuttings will be injected into the wells. At this time we do not plan to install a grind and inject facility; instead we plan to dispose of our dried drill cuttings in the local landfill. Should the landfill option not be available, we want the option to utilize a G&I facility. We will also consider backhauling the cuttings to Deadhorse. In all cases, spent liquid drill mud will be injected into the wells. . ~~~' ~y~~~ The proposed injection interva~ the Barrow gas sand. The top of the inte~al is located at a true vertical depth subsea of -2250 feet in the South Field SB 13 well and -2060 feet in the East Field EB 15 well. This interval is a combination of water-wet sands and depleted gas sands. A detailed description of the disposal interval and confining layers is included in this application in the Geologic Report-- Attachment 1. The SB 13 well was drilled in 1976 to a total vertical depth of 2534 feet (measured depth of 2475 feet). The well is very slightly deviated. The perforated interval in the well is between 2224 to ~- ~ .~v nom`' ~ , ~ ~~`~, North Slope Borough Application for Disposal Injection Order and UIC Class II Disposal Wells Barrow Gas Fields ,~ r~~ ~~~7 2387 feet MD. The well is located on oil and gas estate owned by the NSB. The surface estate is owned by UIC. , ~,~ Z`f ~°~_ ~t ~ ~`~ ~! The EB 15 well was drilled in 1980 to a total vertical deptkl of 2278 fe~(measured depth of 2278 feet also). The perforated interval in the well is 2054 to 2151 feet MD. The well is located on oil and gas estate owned by the NSB. The surface estate is owned by UIC. Either or both of the wells will be used as disposal wells. We have not finalized our plans and at this time we do not know if only one of the wells is required or if both wells will be operated over the course of our drilling campaign. Both wells are depleted gas wells and are no longer used to produce gas. Converting both wells to disposal wells and then plugging and abandoning the wells will not result in waste. 2. Burden of Proof (20 AAC 25.252(b)) The NSB believes that the information and data contained in this application meet the burden of proof to show that the well designs and construction and their proposed operation protect the public interest and demonstrate that the oil field waste will be isolated and not move into sources of freshwater. No sources of subsurface fresh water are present in the area. Conversion of the wells to disposal wells will not create waste. There are no other commercial hydrocarbon bearing zones above or below the proposed disposal interval. 3. Location/Plat Maps (20 AAC 25.252 (c )(1)) Well SB 13 is the only well drilled from the existing SB 13 drill site in the South Barrow Gas Field. Well EB 15 is the only well drilled from the existing EB 15 drill site in the East Barrow Gas Field. See Attachment 2 for a plat of the locations. The surface location for well SB 13 is 807 feet FWL, and 552 feet FSL, Sec. 14, T22N, R 18W, UM. The bottom hole location is approximately 24 feet south and 366 feet west of the surface location. North Slope Borough Application for Disposal Injection Order and UIC Class II Disposal Wells Barrow Gas Fields The surface location of well EB 15 is 2640 feet FEL, and 990 feet FNL, Sec. 23, T22N, R 17W, UM. The bottom hole location is the same as the surface location. Attachments 3 and 3A show the location of wells nearby the SB 13 and EB 15 wells. All the nearby wells are operated by the NSB. No other active, shut in or P&A'd wells are located within 1/ mile of the SB 13 and EB 15 wells. The SB 13 and EB 15 wells are about 6 miles apart. 4. Operator and Surface Owners (20 AAC 25.252(c) (2)) Both the surface and subsurface ownership for all owners within one-quarter mile of both the surface and bottom hole location of each well is shown below: Operator: The North Slope Borough (NSB) P O Box 69 Barrow, Alaska 99723 Attn: Land Department Surface Owners: Ukpeagvik Inupiat Corporation (UIC) P O Box 890 Barrow, Alaska 99723 Attn: Land Department 7 North Slope Borough Application for Disposal Injection Order and UIC Class II Disposal Wells Barrow Gas Fields Oil and Gas Operator, Mineral Rights Owner and Royalty Owner: The North Slope Borough (see above) 5. Affidavit of Notice to Surface Owners and Operators (20 AAC 25.252(c)(3)) A signed affidavit affirming written notice and a copy of this application have been provided to the Owners and Operators is enclosed as Attachment 4. 6. Geological/Reservoir Information Concerning Infection Zone (20 AAC 25.252(c )(4)) A geologic report describing the proposed injection interval and confining layers is enclosed as Attachment 1. The SB 13 well is located in the South Field structurally down dip in an isolated fault block along with the NSB 02 well. The NSB 02 well is planned for P&A. The EB 15 well is structurally the most down dip well in the East Field. The SB 13 well last produced gas in 2006. The EB 15 well last produced gas in 1993. Both wells are very marginal producers at best and both are planned for P&A after disposal operations are complete in 2011. The SB 13 well was drilled to argillite basement at 2472 feet MD in 1976. The EB 15 well was drilled in 1980 and did not quite reach basement. The base of the permafrost in the two fields is calculated at a minimum to be at -1000 feet subsea and possibly as deep as -1300 feet subsea based on temperature surveys run in wells in the fields. In the South field area, a thin finger of sand correlatable to the Walakpa sandstone immediately overlies the Barrow sandstone. For purposes of this report, in the South Field area the Walakpa sandstone equivalent is included with and treated as part of the Barrow sandstone. Both sandstone intervals are perforated and open to injection in the SB 13 well. Early geologic reports did not recognize the Walakpa sandstone as a separate, distinct interval in the South field area. 8 North Slope Borough Application for Disposal Injection Order and UIC Class II Disposal Wells Barrow Gas Fields In the East field area the Walakpa sandstone is separated from the Barrow sandstone and in this report is not considered part of the Barrow sandstone. The Walakpa sandstone is not open or perforated in the EB 15 well. 7. Well Logs for Wells South Barrow 13 and East Barrow 15 (20 AAC 25.252(c )(5)) Well logs for the SB 13 and EB 15 wells previously have been submitted to the Commission and are available in-house. Enclosed, as Attachments 5 and SA, are a portion of the well logs showing the disposal interval, the perforated interval, and the upper and lower confining intervals for both proposed disposal wells. 8. Well Casing Information and Mechanical Integrity (20 AAC 25.252(c__~ Attachments 6 and 6A show the well construction schematic for each well. The wells are cased and cemented in accordance with Commission regulations. The wells do not have packers in place so an exception is requested to the tubing and casing mechanical testing requirement. Schematic of the well heads are also enclosed as Attachments 7 and 7A. Specifications for the tubing and casing for each well are enclosed as Attachments 8 and 8A. All casing strings in Well SB 13 were cemented to the surface in 1976. The intermediate casing string in Well EB 15 was cemented to the surface and the long casing string was cemented from 1300 feet to 2198 feet MD in 1980. The upper portion (above 1180 feet MD) of the long sting casing annulus is filled with Arctic Pack. Well SB 13 was successfully fracture stimulated in the Barrow Sand in 1987. No mechanical problems were encountered with the wellhead or casing during the fracture operation. As previously noted, Well SB 5 was used successfully as a disposal well in 1987 in the Barrow Sand with no subsurface problems encountered. This well has a design and construction very similar to the SB 13 and EB 15 wells. See DIO #5. Well SB 20 was acid stimulated in the Barrow Sand in 1980 with no mechanical problems encountered. 9 North Slope Borough Application for Disposal Injection Order and UIC Class II Disposal Wells Barrow Gas Fields The Commission is authorized to grant the waivers requested above. See 25 AAC 25.450 and 20 AAC 25.252(g). 9. Injection Fluids (20 AAC 25.252(c )(7)) Injected wastes will come directly or indirectly from operations in the Barrow and Walakpa gas fields and production-related activities. The wastes will be generated from gas-related E & P operations conducted by the NSB and its contractors. Typical sources of waste will be produced fluids, spent drilling mud (and possibly ground and slurried drill cuttings), cement contaminated drilling mud, reserve pit fluids, pipe scale, production waste, rig and camp wash fluids, storm water, plug and abandonment fluids, excess cementing fluids, completion fluids, formation fluids associated with the act of drilling a well, excess and makeup water necessary to facilitate injection, new product cleanup fluids, mud and brine pit rinsate, diesel, arctic pack, pipe scale and pipe dope, treated domestic waste water, miscellaneous work over fluids originating from any wells we plan to plug and abandon in the Barrow Gas Fields and the Walakpa Gas Field and other substances the Commission determines on application are wastes associated with the act of drilling a well permitted under 20 AAC 25.005. In addition to the typical sources of waste noted above, the NSB anticipates it will inject other waste determined by the EPA to be RCRA E & P Exempt Wastes per 53 CFR 25446 July 6, 1988 and Crude Oil and Natural Gas Exploration and Production Wastes: Exemption from RCRA Subtitle C Regulation, May 1995, EPA 530-K-95-003. Operational Assumptions: Planned Injection Rates: 2-7 BPM Daily Average Volume: 1000 bbls per day while drilling Daily Maximum: 10,080 bbls per day (if injection is continuous at 7 BPM which is not planned) Maximum Volume of Waste to be Injected assuming drill cuttings are not ground and slurried and injected----------30,000 bbl from a total of 6 new wells and 8 P&A operations Maximum Volume of Waste to be Injected assuming drill cuttings are ground and slurried and injected----------50,000 bbl from a total of 6 new wells and 8 P&A operations 10 North Slope Borough • Application for Disposal Injection Order and UIC Class II Disposal Wells Barrow Gas Fields 10. Average/Maximum Infection Pressures (20 AAC 25.252(c)(8 Expected average injection pressure is estimated to range between 400 to 800 psi at the surface. The maximum injection pressure will be limited by the working pressure of the injection pump, which will be equipped with a pressure safety relief valve set at a pressure below the maximum working pressure. It is anticipated that we may at times have to inject at pressures higher than the natural fracture pressure of the receiving interval if the receiving formation temporarily bridges or plugs off. These will be short term events. Maximum wellhead injection pressures experienced when Well SB 13 was fracture stimulated did not exceed 1300 psi. Maximum wellhead injection pressures experienced when Well SB 5 was used as a disposal well did not exceed 700 psi. 11. Fracture Information (20 AAC 25.252(c )(9)) We have not prepared a separate fracture simulation report/analysis. Based on previous fracture stimulation treatments in Barrow gas field wells and the successful operation of disposal well SB #5, the NSB believes that based on its proposed operations plan that migration of fluids and injected wastes beyond the intended injection interval (the Barrow gas sands) has not occurred and will not occur. The NSB believes that no fresh water aquifers are at risk of being affected by the proposed injection activity. The area has an extensive subsurface permafrost layer as well as sufficient confining layers above the injection interval. In addition, there are no fresh water subsurface aquifers used by local communities in the area. Well SB 5 was successfully used as a disposal well for injection of approved waste streams in the Barrow Sand. Well SB 13 was successfully fracture stimulated in the Barrow Sand and Well SB 20 was successfully acid stimulated in the Barrow Sand Given the relatively small volume of fluids that will be injected, and the intermittent (on and off cycles) operation of the injection well or wells, fracture formation and growth will be very limited. No fresh water aquifers will be impacted by fracture propagation since no fresh water aquifers are present and there are sufficient confining intervals present above the injection interval to prohibit significant upward fracture propagation. 11 North Slope Borough Application for Disposal Injection Order and UIC Class II Disposal Wells Barrow Gas Fields The Commission is authorized to grant a waiver requiring a separate fracture propagation study. See 20 AAC 25.450 and 20 AAC 25.252(g). 12. Formation Water Quality Information (20 AAC 25.252(c)(10)) Attachment 9 includes analyses of water samples taken from the Barrow gas fields. The data show that the disposal interval does not require an aquifer exemption. There have been no indicated incompatibility problems between the injected waste streams and the in-situ formation fluids over the many years the NSB has injected waste, stimulation and fracture fluids at the Barrow gas fields. 13. Aquifer Exemption (20 AAC 25.252(c )(11)) None issued or required. 14. Mechanical Condition of Adiacent Wells (20 AAC 25.252( c)(12) No other wells will be affected. There are no other wells with one quarter mile of the proposed disposal wells. 15. Mechanical Integrity Demonstration and Testing (20 AAC 25.252.(d ) Both wells are completed without down-hole packers. This is the common production practice in the two fields. We are requesting that a mechanical integrity test in accordance with 20 AAC 25.412 be waived by the Commission as provided for in Commission regulations (see 20 AAC 25.252(g) and 20 AAC 25.507 and 20 AAC 25.450). The tubing and casing/tubing annulus pressure will be monitored on a daily basis while operations are underway and reported to the Commission on Form 10-406. The wells will be plugged and abandoned according to Commission requirements once the overall Barrow drilling program is complete in mid 2011. We believe the wells meet the standards set forth in the Commission's regulations and do not pose a risk to the environment. These wells will be temporary disposal wells and the volume of fluid injected will be relatively small. 12 North Slope Borough Application for Disposal Injection Order and UIC Class II Disposal Wells Barrow Gas Fields There are no records of any formation integrity tests run in the SB 13 well. One FIT test was run in the EB 15 well at 1514 to 1524 feet MD after the intermediate casing string was set. In that test the formation held pressure at an equivalent mud weight of 0.61 psi/ft. See Attachment 10. The intermediate casing string in both wells was pressure tested before drilling out deeper and the long casing string was pressure tested before perforating. No mechanical problems have occurred in previous waste disposal, fracture stimulation and acid stimulation operations in the Barrow gas fields. See Attachments 11 and 11A for the well production histories. 16. Mechanical Integrity of Other Wells Within 1/a mile Radius (20 AAC 25.252 (h)) There are no wells with a '/ mile radius of the SB 13 and EB 15 wells. See Attachments 3 and 3A for the wells and well locations. 17. Well Design. Construction and Testing (20 AAC 25.412(a) through (e The SB 13 and EB 15 wells are constructed in accordance with 20 AAC 25.412, existing Pool Rules and prudent engineering practices. The wells will be monitored in accordance with this regulation during injection operations. Tubing in the SB 13 well is 2 7/8 inch, 6.5 lb N-80. Tubing in the EB 15 well is 2 7/8 inch, 6.5 lb N-80. The wellheads are rated for 3000 psi. The wells do not have a packer installed. Casing and tubing specifications are shown on Attachments 8 and 8A. Wellhead specifications are shown on Attachment 7 and 7A. The wells are cemented across the injection interval. In addition, the wells are properly cemented above the injection interval and the outer strings of casing are properly cemented. The cementing of the wells insures that the injected fluids will be confined to the injection interval. We believe that the well construction provides that injected fluids will be limited to the intended interval. See Attachments 6 and 6A. Cement bond logs were run on both wells after the long string casing was cemented. All casing strings in Well SB 13 are cemented to the surface. The intermediate casing string in Well EB 15 is cemented to the surface while the long casing string is cemented from 1300 feet to 2198 feet MD and filled with Arctic Pack from surface to 1180 feet MD. 13 North Slope Borough Application for Disposal Injection Order and UIC Class II Disposal Wells Barrow Gas Fields Given that the wells are already completed and open to the desired injection interval we request a waiver that the wells be completed with a packer and pressure tested prior to commencing injection. No fresh water aquifers will be affected since no fresh water aquifers are present. The Commission is authorized to grant such waivers under 20 AAC 25.450. 18. Notices (20 AAC 25.420 and .432) To be provided to the AOGCC prior to and during operations as required. END 14 ~~ Geolo ATTACHMENT 1. Geologic Report The Barrow Sandstone, found in the lower portion of the Jurassic Kingak Shale, is interpreted to be a series of near-shore marine sands and shales. These consolidated sands have relatively low porosity and permeability values compared with other shallow sands found on the North Slope, because they were buried to an estimated depth of about 10,000 feet subsea. Uplift and subsequent erosion along the Lower Cretaceous Unconformity (LCU) removed varying amounts of the Kingak Shale, but left the Barrow Sandstone at the East and South Barrow Fields. During the Tertiary, the Barrow Sandstone was uplifted to its current depth of about 2,000 feet subsea in these fields. Reservoir properties and lateral continuity of the Barrow Sandstone are well understood, based on seismic and core data from numerous well penetrations. See Attachment lA-- North Slope Stratigraphy and Attachment 1 B-Field Location Map The Barrow Sandstone, averaging 100 feet in total gross thickness, is divided into an Upper and Lower package. Both packages contain very fine to fine-grained, glauconitic sandstones with siltstone and shale interbeds. The Upper Barrow, 30 feet. thick at SB#13 (South Field) and 80 feet thick at SB #15 (East Field), has porosity values between 4% and 20% and permeability values between 0 and 114md. The Lower Barrow, 25 feet thick at SB #15 and 55 feet thick at SB#13, has porosity values between 15% and 24% and permeability values between 33-364 md. See Attachments 1C and 1D-South Barrow 13 and East Barrow 15 Well Logs. Structurally, the Barrow Sandstone interval is found between 2065 and 2170 feet subsea in SB #15, the deepest penetration on the flank of the pool, and between 2250 and 2335 feet subsea at a mid-pool penetration in SB #13. Faulting is minor in both fields and so, the reservoir structure is relatively uncomplicated. See Attachments 1 E and 1 F-South Field and East Field Structure Maps. The LCU removed the upper section of the Kingak Shale in both fields, leaving 90 feet and 195 feet of Kingak Shale at SB #13 and SB #15, respectively. The Cretaceous age Walakpa Sandstone, typically 15 feet thick and found at 2150 feet subsea, sits above the LCU and is perforated in SB #13. Above the Walakpa Sandstone, a massive package of Cretaceous shales and thin sand stringers occur all the way up to the permafrost, which is typically found around 1,000 feet subsea. This thick sequence of laterally extensive shales provides a seal above both the Barrow and Walakpa Sandstones. See Attachments 1G and 1H-South Field and East Field cross Sections. No commercial hydrocarbon bearing zones underlie the Barrow sandstones in either the South or East Fields. Below the Barrow sandstone in the South field, some 50 to 80 feet of Triassic age interval is present, and underlying that is argillaceous basement. Below the Barrow sandstone in the East field, some 150 to 200 feet of Triassic age interval is present, and underlying that is argillaceous basement. ~ ~ No commercial hydrocarbon bearing zones are present above the Walakpa sandstones in either the South or East Fields. Both the SB 13 well and the SB 15 well are depleted gas wells. Converting both wells to disposal wells and then plugging and abandoning the wells once disposal operations are complete will not result in waste. For reference, Attachments 1 I and 1 J are excerpts from the original geologic reports for the SB 13 and EB 15 wells.

It was drilled in an effort to extend the East Barrow Gas Feld in a northerly direction. Dritfing below conductor casing began on August 23, 1980 and Cretaceous and Late Jurassic age rocks were drilled. The well terminated as a producible gas well in Lower Jurassic(?) strata at a total depth of 2, 278 feet on September 10, 1980. Six conventional cores were cut. Four drill-stem tests (including 2 misruns) and one production test were undertaken. n n In each of the South Barrow wells drilled after No. 13, an inhibitive mud system, containing calcium' chloride, was used below the intermediate casing (commonly 9-5f 8" to about 1500') . This was done to minimize damage to potential reservoirs caused by swelling clays, which are present in the Barrow sandstones and Sag River Sandstone (determined by water-susceptibility tests on cores from South Barrow Nos. 12 and 13). The high concentrations of calcium chloride (68,000 to 118,000 ppm) used in the drilling mud below intermediate casing necessitated running a dual laterolog as the high calcium- and chloride-ion concentration in the mud adversely affects the conductivity measurement by the daul induction log. The dual induction log was run in the upper part of each well where fresh-water mud was used. PRE-DR1LLlNG PROGNOSIS Primary objective of the welt was the Lower Barrow sandstone. Approximately 20-25 feet of good porous sandstone was expected at a depth of approximately 2060`. Secondary objectives were the Upper Barrow sandstone and possibly thin sandstones in the lower "Pebble Shale" . POST-DRILLING SUMMARY Results obtained from the drilling of the South Barrow Well No. 15 proved to be disappointing as it was discovered that the Lower Barrow sandstone was 128 feet Power than indicated by prognosis and 153 feet lower than South Barrow Well No. 19, approximately one-half mile to the southeast. Because the South Barrow Welk No. 15 is so much lower than other welts in the field, it is concluded that a fault must pass between Wells Nos. 15 and 19. The Lower Barrow sandstone (primary objective) had porosities of 15-180, but it computed to be water wet. This was confirmed by Drill-Stem Test No. 4 (2188-2278'), which recovered 2090' of formation water. J •. •• The Upper Barrow sandstone, with porosities of 11.1 to 24.4`~o but generally low permeabilities, contained fair to good hydrocarbon shows. Drill-Stem Test No. 3, through perforations 2105-2136', recovered gas at a calculated rate of 500 MCFGPD. Q production test through perforations (2054-2064', 2110-2151') in the Upper Barrow and a sandstone in the Kingak recovered 1.0 MMCFGPD. Th'rs well was completed as a gas well in the Upper Barrow sandstone. r i w WELLSITE GEOLOGIST'S REPORT BY: R. G. BROCKWAY INTRODUCTION The South Barrow Well No. 15, was drifted approximately 10 miles southeast of Barrow, Alaska. Primary objectives of the well were the Barrow sandstones, particularly the Lower Barrow, which cs the main producing sandstone of the East Barrow Gas Field. Upon drilling the well, it was discovered that No. 15 was 155' lower than South Barrow Well No. 19 at the top of the Upper Barrow sandstone. It was then concluded that these two wells are separated by a fault. Porous zones were observed in bath the Upper and Lower Barrow sandstone s. ~ Hydrocarbon shows were fair to good "r n the Upper Barrow with only a trace in the Lower Barrow. Porosities varied from 11.1Qa to 24.40 in the Upper Barrow. A production test of the Upper Barrow recovered 1.0 MMCFGPD. The Lower Barrow had fair porosit ies, but computed to be water wet. . STRATIGRAPHY WiRELINE TOPS CRETACEOUS Torok Formation "Pebble Shale" JURASSIC Kingak Formation Upper Barrow sandstone Lower Barrow sandstone Total Depth CRETACEOUS Torok Formation: 110-1480' Drilled Subsea Depth (BKB) KB 30' 110' -80' Samples start 1480' -1450' 1911' -1881` 2107' - 2077' 2188' - 2158' 2278' -2248' Samples throughout the Tarok Formation -were very poor ar missing. The sediments are very susceptible to water, and water without additives was used to drill the upper 1510' of South Barrow Weil No. 15. Nearly all the samples went into suspension and through the shaker screens. With the use of electric logs and those samples that were obtained, it appears that the upper 700' of the formation consists of interbedded 6 ~a ~ ~ siltstones, claystones and sandstones, with the sandstones and siltstones , most prominent. ©ne zone from 372-505' appears to be a sandstone section with interbedded siltstone and claystone stringers. A light tannish-gray, sandy siltstone with coal chips, scattered light and dark gray chert pebbles and Inoceramus fragments, was present to a depth of 254'. From 250-373', the samples were primarily sandstone with brownish-gray, very argillaceous limestone. These sandstones are light to medium gray, very fine to fine grained, subangular, slightly carbonaceous, partly very carbonaceous on what- appears to be bedding planes, very calcareous, micaceous and have scattered fossil fragments. The limestone probably occurs as thin 'rnterbeds in the sandstone. Electric logs indicate the presence of possible siltstones and claystones, although they were not present in the samples. in the interval 373-505', sandstones were observed which were light to medium gray, very fine to medium grained, with the medium grained sand in the upper 25`, very clayey to very calcareous, subangular, with scattered [imestone nodules and coo{ stringers. Traces of siltstone and shale were observed in the samples. A few chips contained calcite crystals on what appeared to be fracture faces. The interval 505` to 700' appears on the logs to be thin bedded sandstones, siltstones and claystones. ©nly very Light to medium gray, very fine grained sandstone and some very argillaceous limestone were present in the cuttings. A trace of gray argillaceous siltstone was observed, which increased slightly in the interval 700-800' . At 800', Core No. 1 (800-825') was cut, and 9' of soft, flaky micromicaceous shale was recovered. A and rare sandstone inclusions and partings occurred. brownish-gray, very few very silty streaks Below 825', samples were very poor or unobtainable, but the drilling mud was composed of a very high percentage of fine sift. Shales from Core No. 1 were very susceptible to water, so it is assumed that the interval 800-1329' is composed of very raft clayey siltstones and soft silty claystones or shales, with occasional sandstone beds and partings. These assumptions are supported by the electric-log responses. Core No. 2 (1329-1389') was taken in an effort to recover the contact of the Tarok Formation and the "Pebble Shale". Recovered in this core were thin bedded and interlaminated dark brown, silty, "poker chip" shales, brown micaceous siltstone and dark to light brown, very fine to fine grained, subangular, very shaiy and silty sandstones with hydrocarbon shows. The contact was not present. Samples below 1389` to a depth of 1480' were also very poor, but are probably similar to the strata found in Core No. 2. Rare chips of light brownish-gray, slightly carbonaceous siltstone. were present in the drilling mud through this interval. 7 1 n L~ ~ ~ ~ "Pebble Shale": 1480-1911' The "Pebble Shale" is composed of dark gray to dark brownish-gray, fissile, carbonaceous, micromicaceous shales with same siltstane stringers and thin light gray bentonites and bentonitic shale in the upper 110`. Scattered throughout the shales are rounded quartz grains, dark chart granules and very fine crystalline pyrite inclusions. Below 1590', there is an increase in siltstone and sandstone interbeds and a decrease in bentonitic material. The siltstones are brownish-gray to dark gray, partly carbonaceous, shalt', soft to moderately hard and generally very thin bedded. The sandstones, in beds up to 5' thick, are light brownish-gray to medium gray, very fine to fine grained, subangular, occasionally partly subrounded, slightly silty and clayey with argillite and carbonaceous grains and scattered glaucoriite grains. Light -and dark chart pebbles and rounded quartz grains increase slightly in abundance in a downward direction. Porosity in the sandstones reaches a high of approximately 18$ (Density porosity log) with hydrocarbon shows present in at) the sands. In an effort to cut the Cretaceous-Jurassic contact, Core No. 3 (1838-1881`) was taken, but did not recover the contact. Interbedded siltstones and sandstones were recovered in the interval 1838-1872'. The siltstones are dark brown, sandy and shalt', and the sandstones are brown to dark brown, very fine to fine grained, subangular and slightly glauconitic and contain fair to good hydrocarbon shows. Sandstone beds- obtain thicknesses of 2'. The lower 6.8' of the core is gray-brown fissile shale with fish fragments. Rounded light and dark chart granules and pebbles and rounded quartz grains are scattered to common throughout. At 1900', a thin, sandy, "salt and pepper" chart and quartz pebble conglomerate was encountered in the drill cuttings. This has been designated as the basal "Pebble Shale" conglomerate. The Cretaceous-Jurassic contact has been placed at the base of the conglomerate at 1911 `. JURASSfC ` Kingak Formation: 1911-2278 The Jurassic Kingak Formation, to a depth of 2fl58', is composed of interbedded siltstones and shales with occasional sandstone stringers. The siltstones are light brownish-gray, soft, carbonaceous, with a trace of glauconite grains and pellets. The shales, varying in color from light to dark gray and gray-brown, are fissile, soft, and also contain traces of glauconite grains and pellets and pyrite inclusions. in the interval 2058' to 2107' (top of the Upper Barrow sandstone), there is an 'sncrease in sandstone interbeds, but only two attain thicknesses up to 4'. One at 2058-2062', which had no shows, was very fine grained, subangular, and clayey. The second was encountered in a drifting break at 2092' (driller's depth), and was circulated up at 2096'. Samples from ~ 9 r. t. this interval contained a light gray to light tannish-gray, very fine to fine , grained, subrounded to rounded, silty, argillaceous sandstone with a slight hydrocarbon show, and (ignitic coal and woad fragments. Some coal chips were coated with a green mineral (glauconite?) . Core No. 4 (2096-2136') recovered the lower 13' of the sandstone, siltstone and shale sequence which is indicated on the sonic log at 2093-2107'. , Hydrocarbon shows were observed in the sandstones of the 13' interval. The contact of the Upper Barrow sandstone (a secondary objective) has been picked at the base of a brown shale which occurs in the core at 2107.9-2109' (2105-2107' sonic log) . Upper Barrow sandstone: 2107-2172' Twenty-three feet of the Upper Barrow sandstone were recovered in Core No. 4. These sandstones. were (fight to medium brown, very fine to fine grained, glauconitic and contained hydrocarbon shows. Porosities for the Upper Barrow section of Gore No. 4 ranged from 12.90 to 23.8°~,. Permeabilities averaged 10.2 millidarcies with the exception of two one-foot intervals which had 133 and 188 millidarcies. Three drill-stem tests were attempted over the intervals 2080-2136', 2095-2136', and 2105-2136'. The first two were miruns, the third (2105-2136') had a calculated rate of 500 MCFGPD (Appendix F). A production test of the Upper Barrow and. a thin sandstone of the Kingak had a calculated recovery of 1.0 MMCFGPD. , From 2136` to 2165', sandstones, similar to those in Gore No. 4, were interbedded with light brown to brownish-gray shales and siltstones. Thin zones of porosity (estimated up to 200) were observed in the sandstones. Core No. 5 (2165-2187') was taken in what was. thought to be the Lower , Barrow sandstone, ft was not discovered until after the electric fogs were run that the core was terminated immediately above the Lower Barrow. This care was primarily light brawn to gray-brown, subangular, fine grained sandstone with porosities varying- from 10.9°~ to 24.40 (Appendix E) . Permeabilities were generally low. The base of the Upper Barrow sandstone has been placed at 2172' (a brown shale. at 2172.5' in the core) to correlate with other wells in the East farrow Gas Field. Sandstones of the Kingak Formation below 2172.5' (Core No. 5) are very similar to those of the Upper Barrow., but had, in addition, scattered fossil and woad fragments. Hydrocarbon shows were present throughout. The lower 4.9' (2180-2184.9') of recovered core appeared oil saturated and was fractured and shattered. Spotty accumulations of live oil were present on some fracture faces and this portion of the core exhibited bleeding of{. Core analysis and electric Cogs show that this zone is thin and water-wet. Generally there is a thin shale bed overlyrng the Lower Barrow sandstone and it is indicated on the electric log at 2186-2188`. ft was not present in the core or samples but may have been in the unrecovered portion of the care. A ~ Lower Barrow sandstone: 2188-2208' The Lower Barrow sandstone, the primary objective and main producing reservoir of the East Barrow Gas F ield, is 20` thick in this well. It is a light brown and tan, fine grained friable sandstone, partially filled with clay. Scatt ered carbonaceous and glauconitic grains are present. Poor hydrocarbon shows were observed. The formation density porosity log shows that porosities vary from 15-18% and have calculated water saturations of 79-100°0 (Appendices C & D). i Below the Lower Barrow, the Kingak Formation, which appears to extend to total depth of the well,* is a zone of interbedded sandstones, siltstones and shales. The sandstones vary from buff to light tannish-gray, are very fine to fine grained, very clayey and contain scattered carbonaceous and glauconite grains. No hydrocarbon shows were observed. Interbedded siltstones are light gray to dark gray-brown, shaly, partly sandy and contain carbonaceous flakes. The shales are light brown to dark brownish-gray, fissile and carbonaceous. A drill-stem test of the Lower Barrow sandstone and underlying rocks recovered 2090' of formation water (Appendix F, DST No. 4) * Biostratigraphic studies were not made an this well but correlations with South Barrow No. 19 indicate that No. 15 was probably terminated in lower Jurassic rocks. HYDROCARBON INDICATIONS By use of a binocular microscope, ultra-violet light and hydrogen flame chromatograph, the samples from South Barrow Weli No. 15 were monitored for hydrocarbon shows. Shows were minimal in the Torok Formation, although Core No. 2 (1329-1389') had fair to goad fluorescence and cut in chloroethane from very thin bedded and interlaminated sandstones and siltstones. No sandstones of substantial thickness were encountered to warrant testing. Sandstones of the "Pebble Shale", although not exceeding 5' in thickness, began to show an increase in hydrocarbon shows. Gas readings up to 360 units were recorded on the chromatograph with bright yellow to light yellow fluorescence and instant bluish-yellow to light yellow streaming cut observed under the ultra-violet light and immersion in chloroethane. ' Because these sands were thin and relatively far apart, they were not tested . Background gas increased from 20 units to 80 units at 1885' and remained relatively high throughout the upper part of the Kingak. Occasional higher readings up to 480 units were noted, but fluorescence and cut were not observed until the sandstones at 2092-2096' sandstones had fight to dull yellow fluorescence and were drilled. These very slow duff yellow cut in the circul ated drill cuttings, and had an increase in gas up to 280 units. 10 •• •• Sands of the Upper Barrow sandstone all showed varying degrees of hydrocarbon fluorescence and cut under the ultra-violet Light, although gas readings were lower than those obtained in the overlying part of the Kingak Formation. They averaged 100 units throughout. Two drill-stem tests, 2080-2136' and 2095-2136', were attempted. with the packers failing on each. A third test, 2105-2136', was good and recovered preliminary rates of 300-500 MCFGPD on 20/64" choke (Appendix F) . A production test was later performed through perforations at 2110-2151' and 2054-2064' (a thin sandstone in the Kingak), with a calculated recovery of 1.0 MMCFGPD on 5/16" choke (see History of Drilling, South Barrow Wei! No. 15, Husky Oil NPR Operations, Inc. , September 19$2, pages 3 & 4) . Porosities obtained from laboratory analysis of Core No. 4 (2096-2136') varied from 11.1 o to 23.80 with an average of 13.7Q for the upper 26' and 19.1 o for the next underlying 10' recovered. Permeability was generally very law except for the interval 2122-2131', where permeability reached a maximum of 1$8 mil{idarcies for 1' at 2126' and averaged 41 millidarcies. Core No. 5 (2165-2187`) exhibited hydrocarbon shows throughout with the bottom 4.9' appearing oil saturated. As mentioned previously, porosities varied from 10.9-24.4°%. Permeabifities were generally low, and water saturations were predominantly greater than 600. The lower three feet of the 4.9' interval had good porosity and permeability. Porosities were 20.60 to 24.40 for this 3' zone and permeabi(ities of 216 and -335 mil{idarcies recorded. Although some bleeding oil was observed at the wellsite, core analysis shows that this zone is water-wet (water saturations to 840). The electric. logs indicate that the 3' recovered in the core was approximately the total thickness of the good porosity-permeable interval. The Lower Barrow sandstone which had poor hydrocarbon shows, was not cared but electric-log calcu{ations indicate 15-18% porosity and 79-100°% water saturation . Drill-Stem Test No. 4 was taken over the interval 21$8-2278' with a recovery of 2090' of formation water (Appendix F) . A chloride content of 14,000 ppm and a resistivity of 0.29 ohms at 58° was obtained from the water recovered from the test too! samp{e chamber. STRUCTURAL DATA South Barrow Well No. 15 is located on the north flank,. as indicated from prognosis, of a small east-trending structural high (Figure 3) . Drilling showed that the wel{ is located on the down-thrown side of a fault that passes between Wells Nos. 15 and 19. A correlation between the two wells shows that No. 15 is 155' lower than No. 19 at the tap of the Upper Barrow sandstone. A correlation of the BHC sonic logs from the two wells indicates that the fault must be present in the upper 493` of Well No. 15. From paints at 493' in Na. 15 and 330' in Na. 19, correlations are good downward through the Lower Barrow sandstone with very little change in total interval (2-4'). ft is the opinion of this writer that the fault should be placed at approximately 490'. 11 C ~, .i- w The dipmeter shows a high northeast dip (55° decreasing to 30°) from surface to 370'. Readings are sparce from 370-500` but indicate an increase in dip in a southeast direction. From 500` to 940' there is a reversal of dip to a west and southwest direction with dips averaging approximately 20°. Qt 940-970` there is a short reversaE to the northeast at 1° to 2° dip. Below 970', the genera{ trend of dip is to the northwest although occasional reversals do occur. Dips average 2-6°. The writer feels that some of the reversals in dip are due to slump and fracturing, and some to passible crossbedding in the sandstone. Fractures and- some slickens'rdes were observed in a{{ but one of the cores recovered. It is also the writer's feeling that some of the steep dips above 370' can be attributed to movement associated with the fault placed at approximately 490' . CONCLUSIONS 1. The South Barrow Wel{ No. 15 is a gas producer from the Upper Barrow sandstone of the Kingak Formation. 2. We{{ No. 15 is the only welt in the East Barrow Gas Field to produce from this zone at the present time. 3. Because of the location on the down-thrown side of a fault, and. thus 87' to .155` lower than other wells in the field, the Lower Barrow sandstone (principal gas-producing zone in the East Barrow field} is below the gas-water contact and wil{ only ' produce water. u C u `~ ~ ,~ NAT !

Drilling below conductor casing at 74' began on December 17, 1976 and terminated at a depth of 2534' on January 1, 1977. A suite `of lithologies from Lower Cretaceous (Torok) to Pre-Mi ssissippian (argitlite) were '"' penetrated . After attempting flow tests, the rig was released on January 16, 1977. PRE-DRILLING PROGNOSIS ..~ The primary objectives of South Barrow Wetl No. 13 were the lower Jurassic Barrow sandstones. A possible secondary objective was the Lower Unconformity sandstone at the base of the "Pebble Shale". The. Barrow sandstones were predicted to be encountered at a subsea depth of -2195' and the argitlite at -2320'. POST-DRILLING SUMMARY The South Barrow Well No. 13 was drilled through the Torok Formation and "Pebble Shale" to a depth of 2159' where two continuous cores s (2159-2219') were taken in an effort to cut the Lower Cretaceous-Jurassic unconformity. The contact was not observed in either care. The unconformity was encountered at 2240' (-2200' subsea) . At the South Barrow Well No. 11, located approximately 3000' to the northeast, it was at '~ -2160' subsea.. An additional 25' of section not present at the top of the Kingak Formation °' in South Barrow Well No. 11 was noted in No. 13. The Barrow sandstones were encountered at 2296' with 52' of the Upper -.- Barrow being cored. Fair to good hydrocarbon. shows were observed in the upper 34', then became spotty to nil downward. Porosities varied from 4.2 to 19.6°0, but permeabilities were generally very tow. Susceptibility tests were performed on Core No. 4 (2318-2348') and the clays in the sandstone matrix were found to be highly susceptible to damage from contact with fresh wafter (Appendix E). °" The Lower Barrow sandstone was not cored, but an 18' sandstone (2363-2381') had porosities of 16-180 -and -water saturations of 66-750. Hydrocarbon shows were limited to spotty dull yellow fluorescence. The Triassic Shublik Formation, 61' thick (not predicted in prognosis}, was encountered overlying the argitlite which was penetrated at 2472'. 1 .d • '~ WELLSITE GEOLOGIST'S REPORT BY: RONALD G. BROCKWAY INTRODUCTION Drilling below conductor casing began on December 17, .1976, on South Barrow No. 13 proposed gas well. The well was dri-fled to a depth of -- 1,166 feet on December 21, 1976, at which time 10-3/4" casing was set at a depth of 1,157 feet. Drilling rates from 74 feet (base of conductor casing) to 1,166 feet varied from 0.4 min. to 2.5 min. per foot. Drilling resumed December 24, after allowing ~ the cement to set on the casing and the welt was drilled to a depth of 2,159 feet on December 25, 1976, at an average rate of 0.8 min. to 1.5 min. per foot. At this point "" two 30-foot cores were taken in an effort to core the Lower Cretaceous-Jurassic unconformity. These cores, 2159-2219', were predominantly dark shale and did not cut the unconformity. A sand, °- black shale, and dark chert-pebble conglomerate comprised the last foot of core recovered (2218-2219') . The conglomerate could possibly be an erosionat remnant near the top of the unconformity. At 2,230 feet, a conglomeratic sandstone was encountered which was correlated to the Unconformity sandstone in South Barrow No. 11. At this point, it was discovered that South. Barrow Well No. 13 was about 40 feet structurally lower than No. 11 at the base of the sandstone. Two cores (Nos. 3 and 4) were taken December 29 and- 30, 1976, from -- 2288-2348' to recover the porous zones of the Barrow gas sands. These cores were predominantly "dirty" sandstones with interbedded siltstones and shales. Occasional zones exhibited good porosity, up to 20°~ .... (estimated). Oil staining was observed throughout both cores, but became very poor in the tower portion of Core No. 4. The well was then drilled December 30, 1976, with a rofary bit from 2348` to 2410'. Drilling rates averaged 3.5 min. per foot, except for the last five feet which averaged 6 min, per foot. At this point a 15-foot core (2410-2425`) was taken to recover the argiliite, which was postulated to be °- at this point. Some argiliite chips were encountered in the ditch samples. Core recovery showed only shalt' sandstone and siltstone, partly calcareous. Electrical logs were run (December 31 and January 1) at this point to ascertain the correlations and porosities of the well and it was discovered that the well was still in what was then thought to be Lower Barrow sand. An added stratigraphic section, not present in South Barrow No. 11, was discovered immediately below the Unconformity sand at 2230`. This section was about ZS feet thick, which then put the wel! about 65 feet structurally `~- lower than predicted by the prognosis. 5 At this time, it was decided to continue drilling the well with a conventional bit into the argillite. Black and very dark gray sedimentary rocks were observed in the 2475-2480' sample. These rocks were very soft and considered a c{aystone, probably weathered argillite, and drilled at an average rate of 2.5 min. per foot to 2510'. Drilling rates increased to approximately 4.0 min. per foot, and samples indicated the argillite becoming more siliceous and hard. Core No. 6 was cut from 2522-2534' in the argillite; recovery was only three feet. Drilling was suspended at 2534' on January 1, 1977. Final electrical fogs and sidewall coring were performed January 1 and 2. No drill-stem tests were undertaken while drilling. Two flow tests were attempted after completion of drilling with negative results. Six conventional cores were cut, and 24 sidewall cores (17 recovered) were shot. The well was suspended.

At depth of 1550', both logs are the same. At the base of the Unconformity sand (2240` 2" DIL) there is a 6' difference with the 5" (2234'). The Gamma Ray from the FDC/CNL log matches closely with the 5" DlL log. Tops in this report are picked to correlate with 2" composite log . 6 .~ • ~ • ~~~ CRETACEOUS °" Torok Formation: 200-1740' The rocks of the Torok Formation were quite soft and had a tendency to _- disperse in the drilling mud. Therefore the described samples may not be entirely representative of the formation. At the same time, there were problems with the flow line freezing. Light gray, sandy; silty claystones are the main lithology of the Torok. Some thin-bedded tight gray, very fine grained sandstones and siltstones were observed. Coal chips, pyrite inclusions, chert pebbles,. limestone nodules and fossil "' fragments were scattered throughout. The- interval 200-1740' has been given an Aptian to Albian age by ~-- Anderson, Warren ~ Associates, Inc. Hydrocarbon shows were very minor in the Torok Formation. A very ,_ slight show of gas was noted at 1450' where a peak of 80 units, 50 units over background, was recorded. "Pebble Shale": 1740-2240` -.- ~; At 1740', there was a ~~ y distinct change in lithology. A dark gray, fissile, carbonaceous s `ah le with "floating" rounded quartz grains was •- penetrated. This change was supported by a high gamma-ray reading on the Gamma-Ray log and also by biostratigraphic data. Thin scattered sandstone beds were present to approximately 2000' where they became more numerous. A thin sandstone at 2010-2020' had a gas peak of 120 units and displayed a fair fluorescence and cut. Minor shows were recorded to 2065'. `" Starting at 2159', Cores Nos. 1 and 2 were cut .(2159..-21.89', 2189-2219').. with 57 feet recovered. Dark brownish-gray shale with.. some- dark .gray and dark brown shale and "floating" quartz grains was the predorrrinete °- lithology. Some brown siltstone and sandstone beds, some with hydrocarbon shows, were present in the upper core. ,_ Bath cores exhibited fracturing with slickensides common. Free oil was noted in fractures at 2177.4` to 2180` . One foot of conglomerate with a black shale matrix was recovered from the bottom of Core No. 2. This may be part of a transitional zone leading to the basal conglomeratic '~ sandstone which was encountered at 2230'. The conglomeratic sandstone (Lower Unconformity sandstone, 2230-2240') is -- light gray,. "salt and pepper", subrounded to subangular, and it contains pebbles- of tight and dark chert. An estimated.- 15-20$ porosity (Density log shows a maximum of 22$} was observed with slight hydrocarbon staining and a trace of gas recorded. 7 • • Biostratigraphic determinations by Anderson, Warren ~ Associates, Inc. have placed the interval. 1740' to 2080' as probable Early Cretaceous (Neocomian) and 2080-2220' as Late Jurassic-Early Cretaceous (Neocomian) by microfauna. The interval 1710-2411' was indicated as probably Neocomian by palynology. JURASSIC Kingak Formation: 2240-2411' The Kingak Formation includes the Upper and Lower Barrow sandstones as intervals in the lower, sandy facies of the Kingak. The top of the section is composed of gray-brown shales, with siltstones and minor sandstones. The Kingak section below the Lower Barrow sandstone is a sequence of sandstone and shale in which the shales are a dark gray-brown. The main sandstone body (Upper Barrow) begins at 2296' in Core No. 3 (2288-2318'). After correlation. with South Barrow No. 11, it was found that an additional 25' of extra section is present at the top of the Kingak in South Barrow No. 13, compared to South Barrow No. 11. Upper Barrow sandstone: 2296-2353' The Upper Barrow sandstones have been picked at 2296', where the main sandstone body starts in Core No. 3. Cores Nos. 3 and 4 (2288-2348'), recovered 60 feet, of which 52 feet was brownish-gray to fight gray, very fine grained- glauconitic sandstones with siltstone interbeds. Good hydrocarbon shows were present to a depth of 2330'; below this point they become spotty to slight. Fracturing was observed in both cores. Core analysis of samples from Cores Nos. 3 and 4 showed porosities ranging from 4.2 to 19.6$. Permeabilities varied from 0.0 to 114 millidarcies with most below 5.0. Water saturations from the core analysis were generally over 60$ (Appendix D) . Lower Barrow sandstone: 2363-2382' The Lower Barrow sandstone has been picked at the top of an 18' sandstone that is light gray, very fine grained and contains siderite and calcite streaks. Porosities through this sand were 16-18$ as shown on the density porosity log with water saturations of 66 to 78$ (Appendix C). Hydrocarbon shows were limited to a dull yellow spotty fluorescence. Paleontological data has placed the interval 2220-2411' into an Early to Middle Jurassic age. TRIASSIC Shublik Formation:. 2411-2472' Sandstone is the main lithology of the Shublik Formation. The sandstone is light gray to (fight brown, very fine grained, partly calcareous, and 8 commonly fossiliferous. The formation also includes some interbedded shale and siltstone. The sandstones are shalt', have generally poor porosity and °" contain no shows. Core No. 5 (2410-2425') apparently cut the contact between the Jurassic -- and Triassic rocks. Anderson, Warren & Associates, Inc. place the microfaunal time line at 2411'. This contact was not observed in the care, but it may be at the. top of the shale, with fossils described at ,,., 2412.5-2414.5' (Appendix B). f NDETERMINATE ~" A rg i I l i to : 2472 - 2534' The argillite was penetrated at 2472' (E-log pick), and the upper 25` was a -- very dark gray to black, carbonaceous claystone. Below this was black argillite, showing low-grade metamorphism and quartz-filled fractures. Core No. 6 (2522-2534') recovered 3' of black argillite with quartz veins `~K`~- and pyrite inclusions. Traces of gas bubbles were noted in the core. Chromatograph readings rose to 80-90 units. `°' Anderson, Warren ~ Associates, inc. pick the base of the Triassic at 2460' . 1400-1480' 1810-1820' 2000-2100' 2230-2240' 2270-2300' ZONES OF HYDROCARBON SHOWS Slight gas show.

Core No. 6 exhibited trace of gas bubbles after being washed. TESTING ..-.. No drill-stem tests were performed on this well while drilling. After completion of drilling, an attempt was made to flaw test the we{I through perforations at 2358-2368', 2330-2345`, 2315-2330', and 2224-2234'. 9 • • Negative results were obtained even after being "rocked" with gas from South Barrow No. 10. The well was reperforated at 2383-2387', 2356.5-2376.5', 2315.5-2345.5` and 2224.5-2234.5'. Again the well was "rocked" with gas and recovered a very slight flow. The wet) was then suspended. fn an effort to ascertain why the well did not produce, samples were taken from Core No. 4, over the interval 2318-2344', for analysis of susceptibility to liquids. It was found that the clays in the sandstone matrix were of the swelling type and very highly susceptible to fresh water; a fresh-water mud was used to drill the welt. It was also noted that a diesel-based mud would have the least effect on the swelling clays (Appendix E) . NOTE: This well was flow tested again on July 20, 1978 at a calculated A.O.F. of 360 MCFPD. This improvement in gas flow indicates that, to some extent, the reservoir sandstones are "self healing", probably due to dehydration of the interstitial clay minerals by methane (Drilling History, ibid, Appendix II, pages 2-5). CONCLUSIONS 1. With South Barrow Well No. 13 being 65 feet structurally lower at the top of the Upper Barrow sand than originally predicted, the closing structure of the South Barrow Gas Field becomes much smaller and is confined mostly to Section 14. Possibly another structure may be present to the south in Section 23 with South Barrow No. 13 being located in the saddle between. 2. The Upper Barrow sand appears to be the best source for gas production. Although the sandstone is shaly and has shale banding and laminations, some thin zones have porosity up to 20$. The .upper portion (2296-2340') of the unit exhibited good to spotty bright blue-yellow fluorescence and cut, indicating that the hydrocarbons present are of high viscosity. 3. Below 2340', fluorescence becomes. spotty to nil and a very faint, very dull yellow. These sands appear to be flushed and water-wet and that production should be limited to those sands above 2340'. Electric-log computations show a high water saturation for the Lower Barrow sandstone at 2363-2381' . 4. Some gas was encountered at the top of the argillite with some kicks as high as 90 units on the chromatograph. 10 ""' ~ ~ SUMMARY OF PERTINENT DATA WELL NAME: South Barrow Well No. 13 "° API NO.: 50-023-2000$ OPERATOR: Husky Oil NPR Operations, Inc.

R Operations N.4T/ONAL PETROLEUM RESERVE in ALASKA WELL COMPLETION SCHEMATIC ~ •• •• INTRODUCTION After the 1976 drilling season, casing requirements were reviewed and ' design of casing strings standardized. Every effort was made to minimize weight and grade changes for simplicity, cost effectiveness, and to reduce chances of error during handling and running operations. Casing sizes were selected to accommodate designs for wells from 2,000` to 20,000'. Steel grade selection was the controlling factor on design with Cow hardness (Rockwell C24-28) steel being selected for Arctic application and possible H2S environment. Casing sizes and design criteria required by i Husky are listed below: MINIMUM PRESSURE YIELD STRENGTH REQUIREMENT (PSl) (PSI} SIZE(1} WEIGHT MIN. MAX.

(2} Special drift to 12.25 . (3} Special drift to 8.50". The following are additional requirements primarily to assure that the .steel exhibits the metaflurgicaC properties for Arctic applications and resistance to hydrogen embrittlement. 1. All pipe that. is 13-3/8" OD and smaller to be quenched and tempered. 2. Run Charpy "V" notch tests on two random samples per 50 tons per heat. Minimum acceptance of 15 ft.-Ib.@-50°F. Furnish test reports with order. 3. Perform all testing normaCly required for API approved pipe. 4. Furnish test reports for ladle analysis, quantitative analysis, and ai! check tests as per AP! requirements. (n addition, the following handling requirements were made: 1. Collars must be of same steel grade as pipe body. 2. Apply an API modified thread compound on mill-installed collar before bucking on . 28 • • ~ 3. Inspect at mill using Tuboscope's Amalog IV or equivalent on 9-3/4" and smaller, and at least magnetic particle on 13-3/8" and 20". All pipe to have special and area inspection together with full length API , drifting. (Nate special drifting requirements. } 4. Apply Arctic grade grease on all connections before installing thread protectors . 5. Install closed-end type thread protectors. Plastic plugs can be used to secure wrench openings in protectors. 6. Buck up thread protectors with impact wrench. Both mill and third party inspection personnel should observe the installation of thread protectors . 7. Palletize or containerize the tubulars, if possible, prior to shipment ' from mill. Do not haul pipe like cordwood in gondola railroad cars. 8. All pipe to be Range 3. 9. No "V" notching or metal stenciling on pipe body or collars. ' Casing programmed for South Barrow Well Na. 15 was as follows: 13-3/8" conductor at 1110'; 9-5/8" casing at ±1500'; 7" casing at ±2100'; 2-7/8" production tubing if needed to complete the well. Casing actually run was 13-3l8" at 80'; 9-5/8" at 1514'; and 7" at 2198' , The 2-7/8" production tubing was hung at 2155` just below the production perforations in the 7" L casing. The 7" x 9-5/8" annulus was Arctic Packed through the 7" FO at 1180' back to surface. t 1 ~J zs 1 fl East Barra«~ #15 ~'4'e!1 Bare Schematic Based an information from AOGCC ~r'ell History Wetl: East Barrow # 15 u 13-3/8" 72# Casing Cmtd at 80' in 17-1/2" hole w/ 230 sx G (cmt to Surf) 7" X 9-5/8" Annulus Arctic Packed from 1180' to surface 9-5/8" 53.5# Casing cmtd at 1514' in 12-1/4" w/ 1500 sx Prmfrst (cmt to Surf) Perforations 4 SPF Hyperjet I!

Every effort was made to minimize weight and grade changes for simplicity, cost effectiveness, and to reduce chances of error during handling and running operations. Casing sizes were selected to accommodate designs for wells from 2,000' to 20,000'. Steel grade selection was the controlling factor on design with low hardness (Rockwell C24-2$} steel being selected for Arctic application and possible H2S environment.

(2} Special drift to 12.25". (3} Special drift to $.50". The following are additional requirements primari{y to assure that the steel exhibits the metallurgical properties for Arctic applications and resistance to hydrogen embrittlement. 1 . All pipe that is 13-3/8" OD and smaller to be quenched and tempered. 2. Run Charily "V" notch tests on two random samples per 50 tans per heat. Minimum acceptance of 15 ft.-Ib.@-50°F. Furnish test reports with order. 3. Perform all testing norms{ly required for API approved pipe. 4. Furnish test reports for ladle analysis, quantitative analysis, and all check tests as per API requirements. In addition, the following handling requirements were made: 1. Co{fars must be of same steel grade as pipe body. 2. Apply an API modified thread compound on mill-installed collar before bucking an . 28 ti ti ~ 3. Inspect at mill using Tuboscope's Amalog IV or equivalent on 9-3/4" and smaller, and at least magnetic particle on 13-3/8" and 20". Aft pipe to have special and area inspection together with full length API ' drifting. (Note special drifting requirements. ) 4. Apply Arctic grade grease on alt connections before installing thread protectors . 5. tnstatl closed-end type thread protectors. Plastic plugs can be used to secure wrench openings in protectors. 6. Buck up thread protectors with impact wrench. Both mill and third party inspection personnel should observe the installation of thread protectors . 7. Palletize or containerize the tubulars, if possible, prior to shipment from mill. Do not haul pipe like cordwood in gondola railroad cars. 8. Ail pipe to be Range 3. 9. No "V" notching or metal stenciling on pipe body or collars.

Casing actually run was 13-3/8" at 80'; 9-5/8" at 1514'; and 7" at 219$'. The 2-7/8" production tubing was hung at 2155' just below the production perforations in the 7" ' casing.

Hewitt and Gordan W. Legg For the U. S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY Office of the National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska Department of the Interior SEPTEMBER 1982 SOUTH BARROW WELL NO. 1S INTRODUCTION South Barrow Wetl No. 15 is located in the East Barrow Gas Field, Alaska (Figure i). The welt is 2,640 feet from the east line and 990 feet from the north tine of protracted Section 23, Township 22 North, Range 17 West, Umiat Meridian (Latitude: 71°14'58.68" North; Longitude: 156°20'42.13" West) . The Ataska State Plane Coordinates are: X = 694,843.94 and Y = 6,309,541.29, Zone 6. Elevations are 7' ground level and 30' Ketty Bushing. Painting, cleaning .and rigging up began on August 15, 1980 and was completed on August 23, 1980. The wet! was spudded August 23, 19$0. South Barrow Wett No. 15 is a step-out well 1/2 mite northwest of the South Barrow Wett feet The primary No. 19. The hole was drifted to a total depth of 2,278 zone of interest was the Barrow Sandstone. Zones . 2054' to 2064' and 2110' to 2151' were found to contain hydrocarbons. At the conclusion of the drifting and evaluating operations, the well was completed as a gas producer. The wellhead wa s secured, and the rig was released on Septemb er 18, 1980. Husky Oil NPR Operations, Inc. supervised and directed the drilling and support operations as prime contractor far the Department of the Interior. Brinkerhoff Signal, Inc. was the drifting contractor, and Brinkerhoff Rig 31, a National T-Z0, was used to drill the well. I'~~ FIGURE 1 -WELL LOCATION MAP -SOUTH BARROW WELL NO. 15 J. 0 ~ •N~ w DRILLING SUMMARY Cleaning, painting and rigging up of Brinkerhoff Signal, tnc., Rig No. 31, began on August 15, 1980. Rigging up was completed on August 23, 1980 and the hate was spudded at 12:30 p.m. The rig had previously been on South Barrow No. 20, a short distance away. A 13-3/8" conductor was set at 80' and cemented to surface with 230 sacks of Permafrost cement. A 12-1/4" hole was drilled to 1510'. Fresh water was used as a drilling fluid to 1350' where it was displaced with a gel mud system to clean the hole. Core No. i was cut from 800-825' with 9 feet recovered, and Core No. 2 was cut from 1329' to 1389' with 59 feet recovered. A DIL/GR/SP, BHC-Sonic/GR/TTI and HDT-Dipmeter were run from 1510' back into the 13-3i 8" shoe at 80'. An additional 5 feet of 12-114" hole was drilled and 9-5/8" casing was run ~, (36 joints, 53.5#, 5-95) . The casing was landed at 1514' and cemented ~,~ ~` back to the surface with 1,500 sacks of 14.9 ppg Permafrost cement. The ~ ,~.- ' mud was displaced with 10.1 to 10.3 ppg calcium-chloride mud which was then used to the total depth of the wets. The shoe and 10 feet of `~~~ formation were drilled and the formation was tested to a 0.61 psi per foot equivalent gradient with no break down. " ' An 8-1/2 . The following cores were cut: Core hole was drilled to 2278 No. 3, 1838' to 1881', 42.8 feet recovered; Care No. 4, 2096' to 2136', 36.2 feet recovered; Core No. 5, 2165' to 2187', 19.9 feet recovered. Three open-hole drill-stem tests were run as follows on the way down: Drill Stem Test No. 1 (2080-2136') Misrun; packers failed after approximately 3 minutes of initial open. Drill Stem Test No. 2 (2095-2136') : Misrun; packers failed after 20 minutes of initial open.
