Colombie Sp: *jai Assistant to the Commission ! r STATE OF ALASKA ALASKA OIL AND GAS CONSERVATION COMMISSION 333 West Seventh Avenue, Suite 100 Anchorage Alaska 99501 Re: THE APPLICATION OF BP ) Conservation Order No. 642A EXPLORATION (ALASKA) INC. for a two ) Docket No. CO -11 -01 Week extension per 20 AAC 25.539 (c)(2) of the ) Prudhoe Bay Field Emergency Order authorizing pumping of crude ) Prudhoe Bay Oil Pool Into development wells during unavailability of the ) Lisburne Oil Pool Trans Alaska Pipeline System (TAPS). ) Pt. McIntyre Oil Pool ) Midnight Sun Oil Pool ) Endicott Field ) Endicott Oil Pool Badami Field ) Badami Oil Pool ) Milne Point Unit ) Kuparuk River Oil Pool ) ) January 21, 2011 IT APPEARING THAT: 1. Conservation Order 642 (CO 642), issued January 11, 2011 authorized BP Exploration (Alaska), Inc. (BPXA) to pump crude oil into development wells on an emergency basis due to unavailability of the Trans Alaska Pipeline System (TAPS). 2. Progress in repair of the TAPS has taken longer than anticipated. Although Alyeska Pipeline Service Company (Alyeska) completed installation of a piping bypass, the TAPS is still not operating at normal capacity. In turn, BP cannot operate at normal production. 3. When normal production is not possible, some production must be maintained to protect the safety of operating personnel in the fields and Deadhorse by providing fuel gas. 4. If production equipment and pipelines are damaged due to freezing, State resources are at risk of environmental damage and public safety will be further threatened. 5. BP Exploration (Alaska), Inc. (BPXA) has proposed a plan to maintain a minimum production rate to produce fuel gas and prevent freezing in field lines. 6. In order to prevent waste, oil can be pumped into development wells to be later produced. FINDINGS: 1. As authorized by CO 642, BPXA has pumped crude oil into Prudhoe Bay Unit development wells. 2. While initial repairs have been accomplished by Alyeska, a return to normal capacity has taken longer than anticipated at the time the Commission entered CO 642. Conservation Order No 642A • January 21, 2011 Page 2 of 6 3. CO 642, issued under 20 AAC 25.539, expires after 14 days. BP has requested an extension in light of the matters set forth above. 4. The Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (Commission) affirms the finding that the safety of the public will be endangered if fuel gas is not available for power generation and heat. 5. The Commission further affirms that public health may be harmed if the facilities and lines in the BPXA operated fields are allowed to freeze. 6. Waste of State resources will be avoided if excess crude oil volumes are pumped into the producing reservoir. 7. This action will not promote waste, jeopardize correlative rights, endanger fresh water or contribute to the potential for fluid movement outside the authorized oil pools and is based on sound engineering principles. CONCLUSIONS: 1. The unavailability of TAPS at full capacity constitutes an emergency situation that may result in harm to public health and safety. 2. Extending Emergency Order CO 642 for an additional two weeks allowing pumping of excess crude oil into development wells is appropriate. NOW, THEREFORE IT IS ORDERED THAT: Rule 1 (Source CO 642) Subject to satisfactory demonstration of mechanical integrity, BPXA is authorized to pump crude oil into following listed development wells and oil pools while the Trans Alaska Pipeline System is unavailable.
