development at 1.0 ) December 22, 2016
IT APPEARING THAT:
1. On its own motion the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (AOGCC) called a
hearing for the purpose of accepting testimony from potentially affected landowners on the
issue of whether or not the meter allocation factor for ConocoPhillips Alaska, Inc.'s (CPAI)
Greater Moose's Tooth 1 (GMT1) development should be set at 1.0.
2. Pursuant to 20 AAC 25.540, the AOGCC tentatively scheduled a public hearing for
November 17, 2016. On October 12, 2016, the AOGCC published notice of the
opportunity for that hearing on the State of Alaska's Online Public Notice website and on
the AOGCC's website, electronically transmitted the notice to all persons on the AOGCC's
email distribution list, and mailed printed copies of the notice to all persons on the
AOGCC's mailing distribution list. On October 14, 2016, the notice of the hearing was
published in the Alaska Dispatch News.
3. On October 31, 2016, the Department of Revenue (DOR) requested that the hearing be
held as scheduled.
4. The hearing was held as scheduled on November 17, 2016. Testimony was received from
CPAI and DOR. At the conclusion of the hearing the record was held open until November
28, 2016, so that CPAI could respond to questions and data requests made during the
hearing and so the potentially affected landowners could provide comments. On November
23, 2016, the hearing deadline was extended to December 19, 2016.
5. Comments were received from the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) on November 28,
2016, from Arctic Slope Regional Corporation (ASRC) on December 1, 2016, from CPAI
on December 8, 2016, from the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) on December 16,
2016, and from DOR on December 19, 2016.
FINDINGS:
1. CPAI is the operator of the GMTU and CRU located within the North Slope Borough,
Alaska. Working interest owners (WIOs) of the GMTU are CPAI and Anadarko Petroleum
Corp. (Anadarko). WIOs of the CRU are CPAI, Anadarko and Petro -Hunt, LLC.
2. The GMTU landowners are the BLM and ASRC. The CRU landowners are DNR, BLM,
and ASRC.
3. The DOR is not a landowner, but is responsible for tax collection from the GMTU and
CRU for the State of Alaska.
Other Order 112A
December 22, 2016
Page 2 of 3
4. The ASRC and BLM both provided comments in support of establishing the meter factor
for the GMT 1 metering system at 1.0.
5. The DNR and DOR both provided comments saying they did not object to establishing the
meter factor for the GMT 1 metering system at 1.0.
CONCLUSION:
All of the potentially affected parties have provided comments that support, or at the very
least does not object to, establishing the GMT1 metering system meter factor at 1.0. Since
none of the potentially affected parties believe they'll be adversely impacted if the meter
allocation factor is set at 1.0 there is no reason for the AOGCC to reject CPAI's request to
set the GMT1 meter allocation factor to 1.0.
NOW THEREFORE IT IS ORDERED:
The record Other Order No. 112 is incorporated by reference and Other Order No. 112 is amended
to read as follows:
1. CPAI's request for a waiver of the requirements of 20 AAC 25.228 to allow for fiscal
allocation of production from the GMT1 to be based on a metering system that does not
meet custody transfer quality standards is hereby APPROVED.
2. CPAI's request for a waiver of the requirements of 20 AAC 25.228(a) to allow for the
custody transfer metering of gas sold from CRU to GMT1 at a point after the gas is severed
from the CRU is hereby DENIED without prejudice to CPAI renewing the request when it
can provide additional evidence in support of the request.
3. The specific design of the fiscal allocation metering system must be approved by the
AOGCC before being installed and operated. The specific design for the gas measurement
system to measure gas sold from the CRU to GMT1 must be approved by the AOGCC
before being installed. Refer to AOGCC Industry Guidance Bulletin 13-002 for details
regarding the measurement application(s).
4. The meter allocation factor for the GMT1 metering system shall be set at 1.0.

RE: GMTU and CRU Measurement Application
Docket Number OTH-16-025; Other Order Nos. 112 and 112A
Notice of Clarification
Dear Commissioner Foerster:
ConocoPhillips Alaska, Inc. (CPAI), as Unit Operator of the Greater Mooses Tooth Unit (GMTU) and
Colville River Unit (CRU), and on behalf of itself and the other working interest owners, submits this
notice of clarification regarding both the Commission's December 1, 2016 letter denying reconsideration
of Other Order No. 112, and Other Order 112A dated December 22, 2016. We submit this notice of
clarification for the record due to our concern that misinterpretations or disagreements may arise from
certain language used in the letter and Other Order 112A.
In the letter denying reconsideration and in Other Order 112A, the word "sold" appears several times
with respect to the gas going from the CRU to the GMTU. Use of the word "sold" clearly implies that gas
from the CRU will be sold to the GMTU. Contrary that language, gas produced at GMTU and sent to CRU
for processing will be returned to GMTU for use and injection without any sale. The terms "sold" and
"sale" have significant meaning for fiscal purposes (e.g., tax and royalty) and CPAI's materials submitted
in support of the application did not intend, provide or describe that gas sales would occur.
The efficiencies of aligned ownership interests and inter -unit facility sharing are making GMT1
development possible by making it economically viable. Our application materials did not describe a gas
sale, and introduction of the term "sold" may create significant confusion and result in complications
with other agencies. CPAI wishes to correct any such confusion and avoid unnecessary complications
therefore we submit this notice to clarify for the record that we have not proposed and do not intend
that gas returned to the GMTU will have been sold anywhere in the process.
If you have questions or need additional information, please contact me at 907-263-4653.
Sincerely,
Brandon Viator

All,
We finally have received comments from all of the potentially affected landowners and they all either support (ASRC and BLM)
or at least do not object (DNR) to setting the meter factor at 1.0 for the GMT1 metering system. Since we've given the
landowners the opportunity to comment and they've all commented that they think their rights are being protected I propose
we go ahead and approve the 1.0 meter factor for GMT1. We've left the record open until COB on the 19th, so we can't take
formal action before then but if none of you object to approving the 1.0 meter factor I'll go ahead and add this to the list of stuff
I'm trying to get off my desk before I leave for vacation on Wednesday. If you think we need more discussion on this we can
work on it after the first of the year.

TD has a question?
Hi Jody,
Left Samantha a message, but then it dawned on me to just email you.
The AOGCC hearing on November 17 concluded with a request to the affected parties to provide non -objection to the
meter allocation factor of 1 for GMT, and to provide the technical rationale for their response. The due date for those
letters was designated as November 28. DNR would like to request an extension of that due date, until December 19.
Our new Director arrives Monday the 28' and we need additional time to re -brief the issue.
My specific question is — in what format would you like to receive that request?
Thank you

Subject: RE: Greater Moose's Tooth metering
Hollis
I'm sure John has more to add, and will be at the hearing in the morning.
But in general we can assume that the Alpine production is legacy, and thus paying production taxes at the full rate (4% gross
floor at low prices, 35% net less per barrel credit at high prices).
In contrast, the new production from GMT1 will be GVR-eligible which means not held to the floor at low prices (we estimated
for Rep. Gara last year that "new oil" paid a zero tax below about $73 oil), and a substantially reduced tax due to GVR at higher
prices.
I appreciate the comment on metering error, but my guess is that the more likely direction is down due to shrinkage / processing
losses. So in that case, any volume reduction will come from the Alpine side of the mix and, in effect, the state could actually
receive less total production taxes after production began.
This is an important project and I don't want to be the fly in the ointment, but this is something that we all should be aware of.
Best

Subject: Greater Moose's Tooth metering
John,
We had a pre -hearing meeting today about the Greater Moose's Tooth metering request. In discussing it I came up with a
question and it appears the answer may lie with you, or perhaps with someone at DNR who has knowledge of the appropriate
royalty rates that apply.
As you know, the request is to meter oil leaving GMT with a Coriolis meter and water cut analyzer. Since the Coriolis meter can't
really be proved in the traditional sense, we are being asked to declare that the meter is accurate and gets a meter factor of
1.0. The GMT oil will then be combined with GMT's produced gas and shipped to CDS, where it will commingle with that fluid,
which will all then be processed through Alpine's facilities. The LACT metering will take place in the normal fashion, at the
outflow of the Alpine facility.
I'm interested in the potential fiscal impact to the state if the Coriolis meter is inaccurate. Here's the hypothetical behind the
question.
Let's assume that Alpine oil is steady at 90,000 bbls per day. Let's assume that CD5 is steady at 10,000 bbls per day.
1. If GMT flow really equals 9000 bbls a day, but the Coriolis meter is off by about 11% and counts the oil as 10,000 bbls a
day, then the LACT meters at Alpine will allocate the 109,000 bbls it counts as 10,000 to GMT and 99,000 to Alpine and
CD5.
2. If GMT flow is really 11,000 bbls a day, but the Coriolis meter is off in the other direction by 10% and counts the oil as
10,000 bbls a day, then the LACT meters at Alpine will allocate the 101,000 bbls it counts as 10,000 to GMT and 101,000
to Alpine and CD5.
The question is what is the financial impact to the state under each scenario?
Any light you can shed on this will be very much appreciated.
Yours
Hollis French

The Department of Revenue (DOR) respectfully requests the AOGCC proceed to hold the hearing scheduled for
November 17, 2016 regarding the allocation factor to be used by ConocoPhillips for fiscal allocations for oil and
gas produced from the Greater Moose's Tooth and Colville River Units.
Additionally, the DOR also requests that the period for public comment be extended for a reasonable number of
business days beyond the date of the public hearing in order to allow the DOR time to review and understand
comments made at the hearing, as opposed to having comments due at the close of the hearing as indicated in
the AOGCC's public notice.

DEC 19 2016
ADCC
ConocoPhillips Alaska, Inc. (CPAI) has proposed that a production allocation factor for oil and
gas produced from GMTI be fixed at 1.0 and that an exception to 20 AAC 25.228 that requires
custody quality metering to occur before oil or gas is severed from a lease or unit is necessary in
order to allow for the maximization of recovery from GMTI. By letter dated October 12, 2016
the AOGCC indicated that the AOGCC was not certain the mineral rights owners of GMTI and
the Colville River Unit (CRU) fully understood the implications of assigning a fixed allocation
factor of 1.0 to production from GMTI while allowing CRU a floating allocation factor. At a
hearing held by the AOGCC on November 17, 2016, the AOGCC requested comment from the
Department of Revenue (DOR) regarding CPAI's proposed GMTI allocation factor of 1.0.
Even though the DOR is not a mineral rights owner in either GMT1 or the CRU, the DOR, as the
taxing authority for the State of Alaska (State), does have an interest in these matters. The DOR
does have some concerns regarding a potential loss of revenues to the State due to the absence of
a sales quality meter prior to production leaving GMTI and the commingling with production
from the CRU. As the AOGCC may, or may not, be aware production from GMTI will be
eligible to receive the benefit of the 20 percent reduction in gross value, also known as the 'gross
value reduction' under AS 43.55.160(f)(1), whereas, production from the CRU will be taxed at a
higher standard rate without benefit of the reduction to the gross value. Assigning an allocation
factor of 1.0 to GMTI means that volumes produced from GMTI will be considered to be true
and accurate prior to being subtracted from total sales production measured by the LACT meter
at the Alpine Central Facility in the CRU and that any error in measurement at GMTI will have a
direct and inverse impact on production from the CRU.
However, the DOR also understands that evidence presented by CPAI to the AOGCC
demonstrates that a stand-alone production facility at GMTI in the current economic
environment would be cost prohibitive and that the GMTI reserves would likely not be produced
in the foreseeable future. Although assigning an allocation factor of 1.0 to the three phase
separator and (non-LACT) metering system at GMT1 could result in minor over or under-
reporting from either unit, the DOR also understands that there is no bias in the proposed
metering system that might result in a consistent error with respect to either unit. Additionally,
the BLM conditional approval requires an extensive audit trail and CPAI has proposed third
party review of shrinkage factors.
The DOR believes that development of the GMTI is in the economic interests of the State, and
therefore, does not object to CPAI's proposed metering system and allocation factor of 1.0 for oil
and gas produced from GMTL
At the November 17, 2016 public hearing the AOGCC also requested the DOR provide the
AOGCC with the effective royalty rates from each of the respective units. Attached please find
copies of Exhibits A and B from the Alaska Department of Natural Resources Colville River
Unit Agreement, 6"' Unit Expansion, and also Attachment 1, including Exhibit B fi-om the BLM's
Unit Agreement for the Exploration, Development and Operations of the Greater Moose's Tooth
Unit Area that include the requested royalty rates.

Original Net Working
Tr. ADL No./ Legal Depth Royalty NPSL Royalty Mineral Net ORRI ORRI Tract Interest
No. AK No. Description Acres Restrictions (%) (%) Owners Owns. Royalty* Owners (%) Owners (%)
* ASRC's net royalty amount reflects the net ORRI granted to Kuukpik.
** This lease has a sliding scale overriding royalty therefore the original royalty percentage will vary between 16.66667% and 33.33333%. Kuukpik shall receive an overriding royalty equal to 10%
of the Original Royalty Percentage, payable out of ASRC Original Royalty Percentage share of production. For example, using a fictitious tract with equal ownership of mineral interest between
the State and ASRC, if the royalty rate escalates to 201/o, then Kuukpik shall be entitled to receive 2% overriding royalty (0.10 x 0.20 = 0.02) on 8/8ths of production, the State would receive
10% royalty on 8/8ths of production (0.50 x 0.20 = 0.10), and ASRC would receive 8% royalty on 8/8ths of production [(0.50 x 0.20) — (0.10 x 0.20) = 0.08].
*** CPAI has executed an assignment for 22% working interest to AEP. The fully executed assignment is currently being routed to the BLM for approval.

Re: Greater Mooses Tooth Unit Measurement Application
Dear Commissioner Foerster:
CERTIFIED MAIL
RETURN SERVICE REQUESTED
During a November 17, 2016 public hearing held by the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation
Commission (AOGCC) the Commissioners requested comment from the State of Alaska,
Department of Natural Resources, Division of Oil and Gas (Division), concerning the proposed
meter allocation factor applied to the Greater Mooses Tooth Number 1 (GMT I) development.
The Division has carefully considered the information provided by ConocoPhillips Alaska, Inc.
(CPAI) in support of the application for a waiver of the 20 AAC 25.228(a) requirements,
testimony provided to the AOGCC during the public hearing process, and the conditional
approval by United States Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM) for
the use of Coriolis meters.
The Division finds that the metering tools and procedures proposed by CPAI to the AOGCC are
sufficient to accurately differentiate between the volume and quality of production originating
from GMT and the volume and quality of production originating from the Colville River Unit
for royalty accounting purposes. The BLM conditional approval requiring meter proving and an
extensive audit trail, and additional information CPAI provided proposing third party review of
shrinkage factors have increased our confidence in the metering system and our ability to verify
volumes allocated to GMTI. Accordingly, the Division does not object CPAI's proposed
metering system.

Responses to AOGCC Questions
December 7, 2016
The following information answers questions raised by the AOGCC Commissioners during the November
17, 2016 hearing on ConocoPhillips Alaska, Inc.'s (CPAI) GMT1 measurement application regarding the
allocation factor of 1.
AOGCC QUESTIONS and CPAI RESPONSES
1. What is the range in error of using this type of meter (referring to Coriolis meters)?
The Coriolis meter range in error comes from the manufacturer's literature as having a base
accuracy of+/- 0.1%. This results in a meter flow calibration factor (FCF) uncertainty of+/- 0.03%,
which can be found in section 2.1 in the uncertainty calculations CPAI provided in our application,
Attachment 2, Appendix B. Those calculations are provided here for quick reference on page 7.
Ej
Attach 2 -App B.pdf
Through the course of progressing our measurement application with the AOGCC, the BLM was
also reviewing our measurement application and ultimately required GMT1 to include a means of
meter proving other than smart meter verification. The additional proving requirement has now
been incorporated into the current GMT1 design with an in-situ master meter with monthly
proving. This is new information to the AOGCC, but a key point worth mentioning because the
Coriolis meters will now be proved on a monthly basis utilizing an in-situ master meter. The BLM's
approval, along with associated Conditions of Approval (COAs) are attached here for reference.
BLM
Approval_140ct201E
Attachment 1F from our original application has been updated to reflect the current design,
inclusive of the master meter, and is attached here.
Ed
Attachment
1F -Updated Nov201
The meter uncertainty (or error) is only one component of the overall system uncertainty. Please
refer to Section 2.0 on page 4 and Table 2 on
Attachment 2 in our application.
r]
Attach 2 GMT1 Flow
Measurement and N
page 5 of the following attachment, which was
Table 2 is a comparison of Stable Fluid (processed, LACT metering) uncertainties to that of Live
Fluid (unprocessed, non-LACT conditions) uncertainties. The Live Fluid values represent our
proposed GMT1 oil measurement system. The Live Fluid Mass flow rate uncertainty of +/- 0.16%
is derived from the Coriolis meter's base accuracy, plus temperature and pressure correction
uncertainties. The Observed Volume uncertainty of +/- 0.27% is then derived by including density
uncertainty to the calculation. What can be seen from the side-by-side comparison in this Table
2 is that Observed Volume uncertainty is nearly the same as that for a LACT system and the
variance only widens when the Observed Volume of Live Fluids is converted to Standard Volumes
(i.e., volumes at Standard conditions: 60 °F and 14.7 psi).
For stable, processed fluids the calculation applies a Volume Correction Factor (VCF) that has a
low uncertainty value and comes from table and calculations created by the American Petroleum
Institute (API). For live fluids (like at GMT1), the calculation includes a Shrinkage Factor that has
an uncertainty of+/- 2.0% and results in an overall system uncertainty of+/- 2.1%.
The volumes that will receive an allocation factor of 1.0 at GMT1 are the Standard Volumes
(measured, shrunk volumes).
2. What are the royalty shares at Alpine versus GMTU?
This question was posed to the Department of Revenue (DOR). But since DOR is a tax -focused
entity with little or no engagement on royalty issues, CPAI has undertaken a response.
The royalty rate at GMTU is 1/6 and is split between ASRC and BLM based on land ownership. The
mineral ownership division is shown in Slide 5 from ConocoPhillips' testimony during the hearing
on May 3, 2016. Attachments 113 and 1C from the GMT1 measurement application shows the
conceptual Participating Area (PA) across the same lands and royalty ownership of those lands,
respectively. These documents are attached here for reference.
AOGCC Hearing Attachment 1B.pdf Attachment 1C.pdf
Presentation FINAL.
In the CRU, the royalty rate ranges from 1/8 to 1/3. Mineral ownership is divided among BLM,
ASRC and the State. The division of ownership within the CRU is also shown in Slide 5 of the
attached hearing presentation.
3. Is the metering system at GMTU (Coriolis meter) similar to the allocation meters currently in
use at the CRU?
GMT1 will use Coriolis meters to measure oil and Orifice meters to measure gas, both operating
24 hours per day, 7 days per week in continuous service on the outlet of a dedicated full -flow
production separator. The production separator volume, adjusted by calculation for shrinkage at
standard conditions, is the volume that will be reported for GMT1 (i.e., production from the
Lookout participating area).
All drillsites within the CRU also use Coriolis meters, measuring both gas and oil streams from the
outlet of a test separator. Each drillsite has a dedicated test separator that can be used to test
one well at a time on that drillsite. Each well is tested twice per month, in accordance with the
governing pool rules. The well tests are conducted to determine the rate a well will produce
under known operating conditions and then adjusted to standard conditions (shrinkage is
applied). Well tests typically last from 6 to 8 hours and vary depending on how long it takes to
achieve stable flow. The target is to run a 4 -hour test under stable flow conditions.
Based on the well tests, theoretical production is calculated for each well. This is done either
directly from well tests or through the use of rate tables that are based on well tests and take into
account changes in gas lift rates, changes in well head pressures, and time that the well is not on
production. The theoretical volume for each well is summed to calculate a total theoretical
volume for all CRU wells. The allocation factor for all wells is the ratio of oil sales from the LACT
meter to total theoretical volume. The allocation factor multiplied by the theoretical volume for
each well derives the well allocated volume. The allocated volume of wells within a PA are then
summed for the total PA production. CRU currently has six PAs.
The uncertainty associated with a well test measurement system at the CRU is dependent on flow
rates, but has an uncertainty of roughly +/- 4.5%. As mentioned above, the GMT1 measurement
system has a +/- 2.1% uncertainty. Of course, all production from both GMT1 and CRU will
ultimately be measured to an even higher level of certainty at the LACT meter, downstream of
processing and immediately upstream of delivery the Alpine Pipeline.
4. What is the historical range of meter factors of the allocation meters at CRU?
The allocation factor at CRU between October 2015 and May 2016 ranged from 0.97 to 1.01, with
a median value of 0.99. This factor correlates measured volume at the LACT meter to theoretical
volumes based on well tests using test separators at the drillsites, and rate tables. The CRU
allocation factors were addressed in a letter were sent to the AOGCC on June 2, 2016 (attached
below). Please refer to our response to Question 3 in Attachment 1 of the referenced response
letter for more information on this issue.

Cover Letter -
AOGCC Hearing Foll
The Alpine oil measurement system includes three LACT meters with two in service and one in
standby at any given time (meter tags FE -31011, FE -31012, and FE -31133). From May 2011
through November 2016, the historical meter factors for these three LACT meters at ACF ranged
from 0.994 — 0.99715 for FE 31011, 1.01234 — 1.01717 for FE 31012, and 1.01051 — 1.01704 for
FE 31133. The average shift in meter factors between proves is 0.02% for all three meters.
S. What will be the leak detection system for the GMTU before it ties in with Alpine or CDS?
This question seems out of place in the context of an AOGCC hearing on the allocation factor
proposed for a metering system. Nonetheless, the answer follows.
ConocoPhillips has a leak detection program that includes the following:
• Daily operator AVO (audio, visual and olfactory) inspections, weather permitting, of the
drillsite modules, well houses, outdoor piping and pipelines.
• Gas detector monitoring of modules and well houses that have local alarms and are
monitored remotely in the control room at the Alpine Central Facility (ACF).
• Remote monitoring in the ACF control room of pressure, temperature and other variables
that have alarms set to indicate a possible leak or significant changes in flowing conditions.
• Weekly FUR (Forward Looking Infra -Red) flyovers to monitor pipelines and drillsites for
potential leaks.
6. Why is everyone in agreement with an allocation factor of 1? The AOGCC would like to see
some technology applied to the answer.
While this question appears to have been directed at mineral owners other than CPAI, we submit
the following response based on our discussions with DNR, DOR, and ASRC.
ConocoPhillips performed analysis on the range of uncertainties associated with a full -flow
production separator measurement system as described above, in the GMT1 measurement
application, our May hearing presentation materials, and our responses to AOGCC questions
posed at the May hearing. The key variable in driving the uncertainty value is the application of
a Shrinkage Value, which must be done for the measurement of live fluids (i.e., non-LACT
measurement of fluids upstream of processing facilities). The system that has been proposed for
GMT1 is a robust design that was reviewed with the mineral owners, including review of
associated uncertainties prior to our application. The Flow Measurement and Metering
Philosophy document, which was Attachment 2 of our application to the AOGCC, outlines the
design and how this system will be operated and maintained. CPAI is not aware of any objection
to the proposed design or any concern that the system is not sufficiently accurate and reliable.
There is no overriding reason and no request for the application of a factor other than 1.0 to apply
to the GMT1 meter.

The GMT1 project will develop the first drill site in the Greater Moose's Tooth Unit (GMTU)
which is in the northeast corner of the National Petroleum Reserve — Alaska (NPR -A). The
GMT1 project will develop resources on Arctic Slope Regional Corporation (ASRC) and federal
government leases, and ConocoPhillips seeks approval for the measurement system design
from both the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation
Commission (AOGCC).
This document is part of a submission package for approval of the proposed oil measurement
system for GMT1 in accordance with Section E — ("Oil Measurement by Other Methods") of the
BLM Onshore Oil and Gas Order No. 4; Measurement of Oil (1989). This document is also in
accordance with BLM's December 24, 2014 letter expressing intent to approve a measurement
system for GMT1 that uses a continuous separator, and with Alaska Administrative Code 20
AAC 25.228, which addresses AOGCC approval for production measurement prior to custody
transfer.
The need for this submission stems from the design of GMT1 as a satellite drillsite that will
deliver three-phase production to Alpine Central Facilities (ACF) for separation and processing.
Accordingly, the measurement of hydrocarbon liquids will occur at elevated temperature and
pressure which are not stable as per the requirements of the American Petroleum Institute (API)
Manual of Petroleum Measurement Standards (MPMS) chapter 6.1 Metering Assemblies -
Lease Automatic Custody Transfer (LACT) Systems (2012).
Additionally, this submission is requesting an AOGCC approval of off lease measurement of re-
iniection and miscible infection gas from Colville River Unit (CRU) at GMT1 per 20 AAC 25.228,
which requires custody transfer measurement prior to hydrocarbon production severance from
the unit where produced. The off lease gas measurement methodology is proposed to minimize
impacts to existing infrastructure in the CRU and overall project cost
The metering system is designed for approval under both State of Alaska and Federal
regulatory requirements as per Table 1 below.

2.0 VOLUMETRIC CONVERSION
The following paragraphs provide an explanation and illustration as to why it is not possible to
comply with the BLM onshore order for oil measurement and why we must submit an application
to measure oil by other methods to those prescribed in Onshore Order No. 4. The GMT1 project
constraints require that we measure live fluids at elevated temperature and pressure.
Standard volume is not a wholly measured parameter; it is a parameter derived from a
measurement of volume at operational conditions which is then converted by means of
empirical or laboratory analysis data to a volume at standard conditions.
The conversion of stable fluids from observed volume to standard volume is achieved using
Volume Correction Factors (VCF) derived from tables and calculations created by the API and
which have an uncertainty budget in the region of +/- 0.1%.
The conversion of live fluids from observed volume to standard volume is achieved through the
application of a Shrinkage Factor (SF) which is derived from laboratory pressure, volume and
temperature (PVT) testing or equation of state (EOS) modeling based upon detailed
compositional analysis. The uncertainty budget for these methods are dependent upon a range
of variables which include the representivity of samples, the quality of test equipment and the
detail of compositional data obtained. The uncertainty budget associated with Shrinkage Factors
is not well documented for either laboratory or EOS modeling; however available industry
literature such as the draft API MPMS Chapter 21.4 and experience from field operations
elsewhere in ConocoPhillips suggests that +/-2% is a reasonable estimate. Appendix A of this
document provides approximately four years of ConocoPhillips United Kingdom J -Block daily
mass balance errors as field operations evidence in support of the uncertainty budget estimate.
The conversion of volume at operational conditions to volume at standard conditions will incur a
penalty of +/-0.1% when applied to stabilized fluids and a penalty of +/-2% when applied to live
fluids. Table 2 below provides an illustration of the comparable measurement uncertainties for
stable and live fluids.

Measurement System Design, Operation and Maintenance
It is very important to note that the differences in performance in determining Standard Volume
between the BLM onshore order or AOGCC requirements and ConocoPhillips proposed
metering system design are not related to the base accuracy of the flow meters or hardware
components of the metering system.
The ConocoPhillips proposed measurement system design, utilizing Coriolis flow meters, will
meet the BLM performance requirements for the measurement of Mass and Gross Observed
Volume but will not meet the performance standard required for Standard Volume.
The measurement uncertainty estimate for GMT1 oil production is provided as Appendix B of
this document where a maximum value of +/- 2.1% at 95% confidence level has been
determined. The calculations required to determine Net Standard Volume are also contained
within the uncertainty calculation provided in Appendix B.
The operating and maintenance methods contained in section 3.3 of this document will allow us
to monitor and verify the performance of the metering system and its components to
demonstrate ongoing compliance with agreements reached based upon this submission in
accordance with the onshore order.
FLOW MEASUREMENT AND METERING SYSTEM DESCRIPTIONS
The oil metering system described in this section has been designed to obtain approval under
state and federal regulations and incorporates experience from existing installations and
previous projects.
The GMT1 project is located 14 miles west of the Alpine Central Facility (ACF) in the GMTU
within the NPR -A on the North Slope of Alaska. The GMT1 drillsite development scope includes

all on -pad production facilities and off -pad infrastructure including a gravel access road and
drillsite pad. The GMT1 development will connect to the CD5 drillsite via eight miles of
pipelines, power lines, and gravel road; providing the first infrastructure into the GMTU and
connecting the project to the existing CD5 and CRU infrastructure. The project scope includes
9 initial wells (4 production wells and 5 injection wells). The GMT1 drillsite gravel pad will
accommodate up to 33 wells for possible future development.
GMT1 will consist of eight process modules and a well row. The process modules consist of a
pig launcher/receiver module, full flow three-phase production separator, production heater, test
separator, remote electrical & instrumentation module (REIM), emergency shutdown module
(ESD), chemical injection module and fuel gas conditioning module. The drillsite full -flow
production separator, elevated to prevent gas breakout, will serve as AOGCC's unit boundary
custody transfer measurement and BLM's point of royalty measurement (PRM) for produced oil
and gas hydrocarbon streams. After measurement, the well fluids will be recombined and travel
to ACF in the production crude pipeline.
The ACF separates and processes well bore fluids from the production crude pipeline and
delivers sales -quality crude oil. ACF -processed produced water is returned to the drill sites for
re-injection into the producing formations to maintain reservoir pressure and provide secondary
flood support. ACF -processed gas is returned to the drillsite as miscible injection (MI) or lift gas,
or used within the plant as fuel gas. MI is re -injected in the reservoir to maintain reservoir
pressure and to enhance oil recovery. Lift gas is used for production well lift and converted to
fuel gas for drillsite utilities.
3.1 Custody Transfer/Point of Royalty Metering
The custody transfer/PRM system shall consist of a horizontal vessel which will operate as a
three-phase separator (vapor/water/oil). Vessel internals will consist of an inlet cyclonic
separator, weir (three-phase operation), mist extractor on the gas outlet, vortex breaker and
sand -jet system.
It is anticipated that the water content flowing through the oil leg of the production separator will
not exceed 10% by volume at any point throughout field life
3.1.1 Production Separator Oil Metering
The oil metering system shall consist of two Micro Motion Elite Coriolis Flow Meters installed in
a parallel configuration, sized to cope with the full range of expected flow rates, and includes
strainer, inline mixer, water cut analyzer, pressure and temperature instrumentation and control
valves. All flow measurement information shall be fed to a dedicated flow computer in order to
calculate Net oil volume at standard conditions. An automatic flow proportional sample system
shall be installed in order to permit collection of representative oil samples for laboratory
analysis. Process and Instrumentation diagrams (P+ID's) of the GMT1 production separator and
oil metering system can be seen at Appendix C of this document.
This is a dual redundant metering system configuration which will permit maintenance and
operational activities to be performed without interruption to production.
Flow calculations shall be performed as per the calculation detail provided in Appendix B of this
document and in accordance with API chapter 20.1 Allocation Metering.

All measurement equipment and sample system hardware shall be installed per suppliers'
recommendations. Sufficient pressure head and careful arrangement of piping are critical
factors to avoid flashing of gas and for proper metering systems performance.
3.1.2 Production Separator Gas Metering
3.2
The production separator gas outlet metering system shall include two meter runs providinq for
the full range of gas flowrates from the drillsite Conceptually this will be accomplished by two
similar AGA compliant orifice meter runs of different size Additionally, -the two meter runs
provide a level of redundancy, again to help ensure improved drillsite uptime Fully redundant
meter runs were deemed not necessary due to the highly reliable orifice metering technology
and the relatively minimal maintenance down time to repair the meter.
Each meter run will consist of upstream and downstream meter tubes flow conditioner, senior
orifice fitting and plate, and control valve. A flow computer and DP Diagnostics a differential
Pressure diagnostic system, shall be installed on the gas meter runs to monitor the health of the
gas metering systems.
All measurement equipment shall be installed per suppliers' recommendations
Regulatory required flow meter verification and maintenance will be undertaken when the
diagnostic system indicates degradation in measurement performance
Drillsite Gas Metering
Hydrocarbon gas management at GMT1 will require conformance to the applicable federal and
state regulations. Similarly to produced hydrocarbons AOGCC requires custody transfer
measurement of hydrocarbon gas streams between units It has been determined that total
drillsite MI infection gas and reiniection gas including reinfection gas offtake points for total lift
gas and fuel gas measurement, will be required to conform with the applicable standards as
they are Included in the gas royalty determination and commercial gas agreements
Total drillsite reinfection, artificial lift MI and fuel gas stream metering systems shall consist of
AGA compliant orifice meter runs. Each meter run will consist of upstream and downstream
meter tubes, flow conditioner (as necessary to minimize installation impacts to the gas
conditioning module) senior orifice fitting and plate A flow computer and DP Diagnostics a
differential pressure diagnostic system shall be installed on the gas meter runs to monitor the
health of the gas metering systems.
In order to minimize impacts to existing infrastructure at CRU the custody transfer gas meter
stations will be physically located on the GMT1 drillsite This will require an off -lease waiver
approval per 20 AAC 25.228 which requires custody transfer measurement prior to
hydrocarbon production severance from the unit where produced
Regulatory required flow meter verification and maintenance will be undertaken when the
diagnostic system indicates degradation in measurement performance

3.3 Operation and Maintenance
3.3.1 Coriolis Oil Meters
Flow meter verification is accomplished by monthly checking of meter health utilizing Smart
Meter Verification (SMV) functionality, which permits automated and online verification of the
flow meters. The results of the SMV verifications are trended over time and provide traceable
evidence of meter performance within defined manufacturer limits. In addition, each flow meter
shall be removed from service and calibrated at an accredited facility on an annual basis. This
approach to monitoring and calibrating Coriolis flow meters has been implemented elsewhere in
ConocoPhillips and has yielded satisfactory results over a number of years. Evidence in support
of this practice is provided at Appendix D of this document where we have provided traceable
information and certification of historical meter performance. We have also included SMV
trending from Coriolis meters installed in test separator service at our existing drill sites in
Alaska which demonstrate that the required meter performance can be achieved in this
environment and that we have the infrastructure available to perform these checks.
Manufacturer's brochures for Micro Motion Elite coriolis flowmeters and SMV are provided in
Appendix E.
3.3.2 Differential Pressure Gas Meters
Differential pressure gas meter verification is in part accomplished by the continuously running
DP Diagnostics system. This advanced diagnostic system can reliably warn of orifice meter
problems such as two-phase flow, contamination build-up through the meter, blocked impulse
lines, saturated or drifting differential pressure transmitters or buckled backwards or worn
plates. Additionally, the orifice plates will be pulled for inspection and the meter tubes inspected
with a boroscope annually.
Manufacturer's brochures for Daniel meter tubes and DP Diagnostics are provided in Appendix
E.
3.3.3 Secondary Measurement Instruments
The measurement instruments which are used in the determination of net standard volume shall
be verified on a three monthly (quarterly) frequency. Verification frequency is based upon
historical performance of this equipment.
Manufacturer's brochures for Rosemount pressure and temperature transducers are provided in
Appendix E.
3.3.4 Sampling
Monthly flow proportional oil samples shall be obtained and occasional analyses performed as
events dictate in order to provide operations teams with data to compare against observed
online measurement parameters. Where a comparison of data shows a discrepancy between
observed online information and sample information this will trigger investigative work to resolve
the disparity.

Monthly flow proportional samples shall be made available to perform monthly water content
(BS&W) analyses and occasional analyses as needed for the following parameters and retained
for one year:
Pressure, volume, temperature (PVT) analysis to determine shrinkage
Compositional analysis of evolved gaseous hydrocarbons
Compositional analysis of liquid hydrocarbons
Where it is found that any online data, which has been used in the determination of net standard
volume, needs to be corrected then operations teams will raise and submit a mismeasurement
report in order to correct the reported volumes.
Manufacturer's brochures for Phase Dynamics water content analyzers and JISKOOT CoJetix
sampling systems are provided in Appendix E.
3.3.5 Shrinkage Factor
Shrinkage factor (SF) shall be developed across a range of operating pressures and
temperatures so that any process variances are captured in order to prevent a systematic bias
impacting the measurement of oil. Table 3 below, linear interpolation matrix, provides an
indication of the method which will be employed to determine SF from operating temperature
and pressure.

REV. 1
Metering station design shall be according to all relevant specifications with respect to vessels,
piping, pipe supports, valves, materials, surface protection, insulation, heat tracing, weather
protection etc. and the metering stations shall be manufactured such that they are suitable for
the climatic conditions at the field location.
Design
Measurement system design as well as operational and maintenance activities will be based
upon state and federal regulatory requirements and agreements as well as the ConocoPhillips
standards.
This GMT1 Metering Philosophy supports the operating goals, so metering systems must allow
for scalable throughput, occasional turndown, minimally disruptive maintenance, and periodic
verification as dictated by regulations and commercial agreements. Single point of failure
outages that significantly affect throughput or increased measurement uncertainty are to be
avoided, and critical devices and equipment must be installed with redundancy. Meter runs
shall be installed using practices that reduce or eliminate uncertainty that may occur due to the
effects of piping arrangements, and will facilitate maintenance while minimizing requirements for
excessive disassembly, associated labor costs and HSE risks.
Bypasses around custody transfer/ PRM are generally not allowed. Bypasses built into the
design for operational flexibility shall be car sealed closed.
For accurate product measurement, it is necessary to provide means of fluid measurement and
calculation, as well as determination of fluid quality at appropriate points throughout the
process. Pressure and temperature compensation shall be applied to all applicable volumetric
measurements. Fluid quality measurement instruments or sampling systems shall be installed
for each significant fiscal measurement.
Measurement verification dictated by commercial agreements and regulatory requirements may
be accomplished in part via application of advanced electronics and systems diagnostics.
Communication links to smart instrumentation shall be installed to collect data, maintain and
verify devices, support record keeping, report and document failures and malfunctions, and
assist with overall reporting and compliance.
General Installation Requirements
All instruments, including meters and analyzers, shall be located so as to be readily accessible
for repair or adjustment from operating level. Maintenance access shall normally be
accomplished by mounting of instruments and manifold valves on stands such that they are
accessible from grade. Where measurement accuracy or other physical conditions require
close—coupled instruments in a location not accessible from grade, an access platform shall be
provided.
Instruments shall be installed and mounted rigidly and normal to the vertical or horizontal plane
and in such a manner that they may be removed without disturbing adjacent equipment, piping
or tubing.
All instruments, equipment and components shall be suitable for the maximum extreme
environmental and climatic conditions in which they are installed. Protective housings or

weather—hoods may be required. Instruments and sense lines containing process fluids shall
have insulation, heat tracing, and/or seals where process fluids may undergo a change in phase
due to exposure to ambient temperatures.
All instruments, tubing, piping, fittings, instrument tags, instrument dials, etc., must be protected
from physical damage, contamination by dirt, sand, or other foreign material during transport,
storage, fabrication, painting, insulation and other assembly and construction activities. Dials,
glasses, nameplates, etc. must be free of paint, insulation, protection residue and other
defacing.
6.4 Instrument Traceability
The intent of instrument traceability is to obtain a permanent record and to verify that the
instruments will measure, indicate and operate within tolerances guaranteed by the Supplier in
accordance with the Instrument Specification and Data Sheets.
Meter station transmitters and indicators shall be factory calibrated whenever possible and
calibration sheets provided. All instrumentation with factory calibration will be subjected to
functional checking.
Shop verification check of instruments that cannot be field -checked shall be witnessed.
Instruments shall meet the Supplier's published specifications, unless a prior written agreement
has been made.
All instruments supplied on package systems shall be calibrated and properly tagged.
Calibration sheets for these package instrumentation systems shall be turned over prior to
system checkout.
6.5 Measurement System Fabrication and Testing
Checks carried out during fabrication at vendor factories or facilities shall ensure that the
delivered system will meet design performance targets and that all required documentation is
available.
The metering system's fabrication shall be ensured to meet the approved design and that all
design and fabrication documentation is available.
Performance targets shall be verified by calibration/factory acceptance test (FAT), and the tests
shall be witnessed by appropriate stakeholders. All performance related documentation such as
calibration certificates and verification check reports shall be available for review by
stakeholders.
6.6 Commissioning
Commissioning activities ensure that performance targets achieved during fabrication are still
achievable after equipment has been transported, installed and electrically connected.
The performance targets shall be confirmed by instrument verification checks and site
acceptance test (SAT) and appropriately witnessed by stakeholders.
All installation/commissioning/verification/SAT documentation shall be available and properly
retained.

6.7 Handover
Handover requires close coordination. During this activity, punch list items are resolved and
verified.
For measurement systems, the Operator shall participate in the handover by reviewing and
approving punch list items and ensure any rework is identified for corrective action.
6.8 Maintenance
Operator shall ensure that all components of the measurement system are maintained in
accordance with regulatory and/or contractual obligations.
All instruments, flow computers, samplers, analyzers, and supporting equipment shall have a
maintenance frequency for each piece of equipment that is agreeable to partners and regulators
as appropriate. Calibration certificates shall be properly retained.
6.9 Test Equipment
The calibration of all test equipment shall be checked before being used for any verification
activity. If the test equipment is visibly damaged or the calibration certificate is over one year
old, the equipment shall be sent to a qualified independent testing laboratory for certification.
Test equipment recertification records shall be properly retained.
The test instrument calibration check shall be recorded on a label, showing the date and the
person or agency performing the check, and the label should be attached to the equipment in
such a place that it is easily visible and not easily removed.
All calibrations shall be performed using test equipment with accuracies at least one order of
magnitude lower than the instrument being calibrated.
6.10 Audit
Regular auditing of measurement systems will ensure compliance with regulatory and
contractual requirements. The audit shall include checks of the measurement system's
performance at current production rates and an assessment of activities required to maintain
metering system performance at target levels. After conducting an audit, the audit
findings/recommendations shall addressed/implemented within required time scales. The
uncertainty calculations shall reflect current production rates and fluid properties. Revised
uncertainty calculations shall be analyzed to identify any system modifications that may be
required to maintain the target/contractual performance targets.
The Operator shall support the auditing of measurement systems by third parties such as
regulatory bodies and contractual partners, if required.

• The proposed measurement design has evolved through multiple discussions
with stakeholders, including state and federal agencies
• The 3-phase production separator and associated metering achieve a high
level of hydrocarbon measurement accuracy (2.1% uncertainty in oil stream)
within a cost that allows the GMT1 project to remain viable
• The GMT1 design allows for efficient use of the existing infrastructure to
reduce costs and limit gravel footprint, air emissions and other
environmental impacts
• The proposed design is consistent with the 2012 NPR A Integrated Activity
Plan (IAP) EIS, which evaluated GMT1 as a satellite development that relies
on Alpine Central Facility (ACF) for processing, and it complies with the IAP
stipulation E-5, which requires sharing facilities with existing development in
order to minimize project footprint

• LACT quality metering design requirements
• LACT metering is achieved by measuring stable fluids and converting
from an observed volume to a standard volume through the application
of a Volume Correction Factor (VCF)
• A processing facility is required to produce streams with stable fluids
• Proposed alternative to LACT
• The favored alternative to LACT metering is to measure live fluids and
convert observed volumes to standard volumes through the application
of a Shrinkage Factor (SF)
• No processing facility is required
• The use of a SF applied to live fluids measurement increases the
uncertainty N 2% versus the use of a VCF applied to stable fluids

RE: Greater Mooses Tooth Unit Measurement Application
Follow -Up Responses to May 3, 2016 Hearing
Docket Number OTH-16-005
Dear Commissioner Foerster:
Brandon Viator
Project Integration Manager, GMTU
ConocoPhillips Alaska
700 G Street
Anchorage, AK 99501-3439
907.263.4653
ConocoPhillips Alaska, Inc. (CPAI), as Unit Operator of the Greater Mooses Tooth Unit (GMTU) and
Colville River Unit (CRU), and on behalf of itself and the other working interest owners presents the
information in this letter and its attachment to address questions posed by the Commissioners at the
May 3, 2016 hearing on GMTU and CRU measurement (Docket Number 0TH -16-005).
CPAI would first like to clarify for the Commissioners that we have cast our application as a request for
an order under AS 31.05.030(c) and 20 AAC 25.505, which do not require an "equal or better" standard.
CPAI strongly believes that our proposed measurement system provides a level of accuracy in standard
volume units that could be substantially improved upon only by measurement and conversion to
standard volume downstream of full processing facilities, which is cost prohibitive.
CPAI would also like to address one of the statements made during the hearing on the need to prove
equal or better accuracy variance for Coriolis meters. The regulation on custody transfer measurement,
20 AAC 25.228, does not directly require a particular type of meter or an accuracy standard. Instead,
the regulation adopts by reference the 1998 version of the API Manual of Petroleum Measurement
Standards (MPMS), which addresses Coriolis meters for allocation metering in Chapter 20.1, but does
not address Coriolis meters for custody transfer or LACT metering service. In LACT measurement (stable
fluids) service, Coriolis meters do provide equal to or better measurement accuracy when compared to
turbine or positive displacement meters.
As was described during the hearing, the main element of measurement uncertainty in the system we
have proposed — which we believe overall to be a robust and accurate system — comes not from use of
the Coriolis meter, but from the conversion of measured volumes to standard volumes for live fluids
through the application of a shrinkage factor. Coriolis technology has been proven within the industry,
as is evident by API's adoption of Chapter 5.6 in 2002 addressing Coriolis meters for custody transfer.
While the AOGCC regulations have not been updated to adopt by reference post -1998 versions of the
MPMS, the AOGCC can take note of the industry acceptance of Coriolis meters in liquid hydrocarbon
service for custody transfer.
Attachment 1 included with this letter covers the non -confidential questions raised by the Commission.
Additionally, we plan to meet with AOGCC staff to provide additional confidential economic information
to address the Commissioners' request for more detail on the economic rationale underlying our
request. CPAI will provide the more detailed information in reliance on the AOGGC's assurance that the
information will be held confidential under AS 31.05.035, 20 AAC 25.537 and other applicable law.
If you have questions or need additional information, please contact me at 907-263-4653.

Attachment 1
GMT1 AOGCC Hearing Follow -Up Responses
The following information is based on questions raised by the AOGCC Commissioners during the May 3,
2016 hearing on ConocoPhillips Alaska, Inc.'s measurement application for the GMT1 development.
Question 1: What is the expected API gravity for GMT1 oil?
Answer: 430
Question 2: What is the expected GOR for GMT1 production?
Answer: 1,385 scf/stb
Question 3: What is the uncertainty value associated with the Colville River Unit (CRU)
measurement?
Answer: Since bringing the CD5 project online in late October 2015, the CRU uncertainty has a
mean allocation factor of 0.99 with P10 and P90 ranges of 0.97 and 1.01, respectively.
The median value over this time period is 0.99.
Since November 2000, the CRU uncertainty has a mean allocation factor of 1.01 with
P10 and P90 ranges of 0.95 to 1.08, respectively. The median value over this time
period is 0.99.
The following document provides uncertainty calculations for the CRU well test and
allocation meters, which applies to all drillsites in CRU.

Question 4: Can ConocoPhillips provide a summary of the history and considerations for not
combining the Greater Mooses Tooth and Colville River Units into one large unit? If
CPAI were to combine the units, would it remove the need for an AOGCC variance?
Answer: The CRU was approved in 1998 by the State of Alaska (State) and the Arctic Slope
Regional Corporation (ASRC). The CRU is comprised primarily of lands owned by the
State and ASRC. Regular production from the CRU began in 2000. The Greater Mooses
Tooth Unit (GMTU) was approved in 2008 by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM),
and is comprised mostly of lands owned by the United States and administered by BLM.
GMTU is not yet producing oil and gas on a sustained basis. The oil pools defined and
approved by the AOGCC in connection with the CRU do not cover lands within the
GMTU.
Given the distinctions between the two existing units -- including their different history,
land ownership, unit administrators, and regulatory regimes -- it is natural that they
would be separate units. Additionally, each unit has been separately established, and
attempting to combine the units at this late date, would be exceedingly difficult, if not
impossible. The contractual obligations established by the two different unit
agreements reflect the specific intentions and requirements of the State, ASRC, and
BLM. Reaching alignment between the federal and state requirements could require
various concessions that would be very difficult to obtain and could have significant
impacts on existing infrastructure. In addition, the restructuring of these two large units
into one unit would be time consuming, would present high chance of failure based on
regulatory obstacles, would divert focus away from current major development
projects, and would have a high manpower cost impact to the operator, other working
interest owners, landowners, and regulatory agencies — all costs and impacts that are
unnecessary to impose here. While it is theoretically possible that the units could be
combined into one very large, diverse unit, CPAI is not aware of any precedent for such
a combination.
The question of whether combination of the units would remove the need for a variance
from 20 AAC 25.228 presumes that a variance is required under present circumstances.
As noted in the cover letter, CPAI has not asked for a variance, rather we have cast our
application for an order under AS 31.05.030(c) and 20 AAC 25.505 instead, in part to
avoid confusion about whether the "equal or better" standard for a variance under 20
AAC 25.228(j) applies. In our view, no variance is necessary because whether a
"variance" is needed depends on whether the proposed system' complies with the 1998
version of the API Manual of Petroleum Measurement Standards (MPMS), which is
' To be clear, the system proposed by CPAI is for on -unit (GMTU) measurement using an industry -accepted meter
type, but at elevated temperature and pressure, upstream of processing facilities. The key question, in our view, is
whether conversion of the metered volume to standard volume using a shrinkage factor is deemed acceptable to
the AOGCC. CPAI submits that it should be acceptable because it provides for accurate measurement — indeed, the
most accurate level that could reasonably be obtained at GMTU — even though it does not provide a level of
accuracy that is equal to or better than converting metered volume to standard volume using a volume correction
factor that would apply downstream of processing facilities.
adopted by reference in 20 AAC 25.228(a). We acknowledge some uncertainty on this
point, however, because the 1998 version of MPMS addresses Coriolis meters only as
allocation meters, not as custody transfer meters.
If a variance were necessary, combination of units could avoid the need for a variance
because in that case AOGCC may deem the GMT1 meter to be an allocation meter that
is referenced to the combined unit's LACT meter, which clearly complies with the 1998
MPMS. Note, however, that BLM's position has been that the GMT1 meter must be the
sole determination of GMT1 volumes, without any adjustments, so even if the units
were hypothetically combined and the Coriolis meter was deemed to be an acceptable
allocation meter, the actual measurement system would be no different than the
system currently proposed.
Comment 5: The commission may request or require 3rd party review and sign -off on Shrinkage
Factor matrix to ensure no CPAI bias.
Response: CPAI is proposing the following protocol that can later be translated into a documented
procedure to ensure no CPAI bias with the Shrinkage Factor matrix:
The Shrinkage Factor matrix will be updated as oil composition and/or operational
conditions warrant. The matrix will be verified and amended by CPAI based on the
following:
• Operating pressure is outside of matrix range
• Operating temperature is outside of matrix range
• Dry oil density deviates by more than 10% from the process simulator conditions.
Compositional sample analysis will be triggered by the following:
• New production well brought online
• Monthly composite samples show a dry oil density change of greater than 10%
• Once per year during annual Preventative Maintenance (PM)
Following receipt of a compositional analysis and update of the Shrinkage Factor matrix
(if required), the new Shrinkage Factor matrix will be reviewed with an independent 3rd
party, whom will be given access to both the HYSYS model and historical sampling
results to verify that there is no CPAI bias with the matrix.
Question 6: Can ConocoPhillips provide more detail on smart meter diagnostics technology?
Answer: The following video link provides a high level overview of how MicroMotion Smart
Meter Verification (SMV) works to identify potential measurement issues in a Coriolis
meter. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKINaUrckw8) Additionally, the attached
MicroMotion white paper titled "Allow Smart Meter Verification to Reduce your Proving
and Proof -Test Costs" describes how the SMV technology provides robust in-situ
verification of Coriolis performance.

Discussion 7: A question was raised by the Commissioners as to whether having oil in water and oil in
gas analyses on the water and gas legs, respectively, is a prudent requirement or not.
Response: CPAI would like to clarify some of the responses that were given during the hearing
regarding oil in gas and oil in water measurement. Neither AOGCC regulations nor any
governing industry standard require any particular approach or result. The approach
proposed by CPAI is based on a system that is expected to separate oil and water to the
extent that we are reasonably confident any carryover would be minimal and not
require additional measurement. However, CPAI is prepared to take additional steps to
address any potential AOGCC concerns.
Liquid in Water Stream
The production separator vessel is specified to produce a water outlet with less than
0.1% oil in water and currently includes a nucleonic level measurement device that will
detect and control the oil -water interface in the vessel, further minimizing any potential
oil leaving with the water stream.
CPAI does not anticipate any significant amounts of oil in the water stream, but if
measurement of oil content in the water stream is requested by AOGCC, we propose
the following alternative water measurement technology compared to what was
discussed during the hearing. Rather than include an oil -in -water analyzer with the
previously proposed magnetic flowmeter, CPAI would propose installing a Coriolis flow
meter on the water outlet of the production separator. This would allow the Operator
to monitor changes in density that would indicate potential separation issues and oil in
the water outlet. Additionally, CPAI would propose the addition of a spot sampling quill
on the water outlet for any necessary sampling and analysis of the production separator
water outlet stream.
Liquid in Gas Stream
For potential liquid carryover in the gas stream, the production separator vessel is being
specified for less than 1 gallon of liquid carryover per MMSCF of gas. The DP Diagnostic
system on the gas orifice meters will detect and alarm on liquid carryover.
Operator alarms on density changes in the gas outlet would trigger operation or
maintenance corrective actions as necessary.

RE: Docket OTH-16-025
ASRC Comments to AOGCC Regarding the Allocation Factor at Greater Moose's Tooth #1
Dear Commissioners:
Arctic Slope Regional Corporation (ASRC) urges AOGCC to approve ConocoPhillips Alaska, Inc. (COP)
proposed hydrocarbon and production measurement and allocation system for Greater Mooses Tooth #1
(GMT1), the first drillsite within the Greater Mooses Tooth Unit (GMTV), located in the National
Petroleum Reserve - Alaska (NPRA).
ASRC is the majority mineral owner of the proposed Lookout Participating Area, the initial development
from the GMT1 drillsite, and therefore has a significant economic interest in the GMT1 development.
ASRC is also a co -manager, with the Bureau of Land Management and therefore has standing with respect
to decisions regarding production measurements and allocations methodologies utilized at GMT1.
ASRC's reasons to justify approval for the allocation factor are as follows:
ASRC has been actively involved in the technical discussions to meet the BLM metering
requirements for GMT1 and we feel that COP has adequately presented its justification and
methodology to BLM.
To optimize economic recovery, Greater Mooses Tooth Unit (GMTU) is designed as a satellite
drillsite that will be produced through the Colville River Unit (CRU) Alpine Central Facility (ACF).
Fluids produced at GMT1 will be measured through a 3-phase production separator that will
allow for continuous measurement using a Coriolis meter and water cut analyzer. After
separation, fluids will be recombined and delivered to the ACF through a three phase pipeline
system from GMT1 to the CD5 drill site in the CRU.
ASRC understands that the proposed production allocation system proposed by COP is different
from what we are accustomed to in the CRU. As a mineral owner and Unit manager in the
adjacent CRU ASRC is intimately familiar with the CRU allocation methodology and has been party
to multiple redeterminations of production and allocation in the CRU since its start-up in 2000.
We are also comfortable with the high-pressure separator and continuous metering approach
proposed for GMT1. With recombination of GMT1 fluids prior to reaching the ACF, the GMT1
fluids will have an effective allocation factor of 1.0 at the CRU LACT meter. As such:
Corporate Headquarters • PO Box 129 • Barrow, Alaska 99723-0129 • 907.852.8533 or 907.852.8633 • FAX 907.852.5733
o COP will continuously meter the GMT1 production with a three phase production
separator with the oil being measured by two Micro Motion Elite Coriolis Flow Meter
utilizing Smart Meter Verification to permit automated verification of the meter accuracy.
The flow measurements will be corrected to standard conditions using temperature and
pressure correlations. This technology allows for +/- 2.1% uncertainty.
■ Monthly proportional oil samples will be taken and analyzed and compared
against measurement parameters to insure accuracy.
■ The master meter requirement in the BLM approval further improves the
reliability of the oil metered at GMT1.
• Production measurements for CRU wells are much less accurate as they are based on monthly
well tests to allocate the Alpine Central Facility LACT meter volumes back to individual wells.
• The designed oil measurement system meets both AOGCC standards for the CRU, a State and ASRC
jointly managed unit, and BLM standards for the GMTU, a federal and ASRC jointly managed unit,
without economic waste. ASRC has no objection to the proposal for off -unit measurement of CRU
gas at GMTU.
• ASRC feels that any effect on State royalty through the CRU allocation methodology will be
minimal and will be offset by the benefit of having more gas delivery to the CRU from GMT1 for
enhanced oil recovery efficiency.
• ASRC is a mineral owner in both CRU and GMTU. As such ASRC currently receives royalty from
production in the CRU and will receive royalty from GMT1. The State of Alaska currently receives
royalty from production from the CRU and is entitled to receive 50% of the federal royalty from
GMT1.
ASRC feels that COP has a metering design that protects all royalty interests in both units. Thank you for
your time and attention.
Very Truly Yours,

Dear Commissioner Foerster:
RECEIVED
NOV 282016
During the hearing on November 17, 2016, the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission
requested a letter from the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) further supporting why the
production allocation factor of 1.0 should be used for future development of Greater Mooses
Tooth (GMT) #1. The BLM supports the usage of this allocation factor of 1.0, as it meets the
federal requirements in 43 CFR § 3162.7-2, as well as the requirements under BLM Onshore Oil
and Gas Order No. 4 (43 CFR 3174).
Based on information provided by ConocoPhillips Alaska, it was determined that installing a
Lease Automatic Custody Transfer (LACT) meter for each participating area in the GMT Unit
would render the project uneconomic. As such, a sundry was approved by the BLM to allow the
use of a three-phase separator with Coriolis meters on the oil leg for continuous measurement of
fluids. The accuracy of the Coriolis meter is +/- 0.5% and will be verified according to 43 CFR
3174.11. Coriolis meters are approved by the BLM as they meet accuracy requirements and do
not have "statistically significant" bias to read high or low in error. Further, a shrinkage factor
will be applied to the oil leaving the GMT Unit.
If further discussion is warranted, you may contact Wayne Svejnoha from my staff at
wsvejnoh@blm.gov or (907) 271-4407.

3 COMMISSIONER SEAMOUNT: I'd like to call this
4 hearing to order. Today is November 17, 2016, it is
5 9:07 in the morning. This hearing is being held at the
6 Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission, known as
7 the AOGCC. The AOGCC is located at 333 West Seventh
8 Avenue, Anchorage, Alaska. My name is Dan Seamount,
9 I'm one of the Commissioners for the AOGCC and to my
10 right is Hollis French, another Commissioner for the
11 AOGCC. It takes two Commissioners to make a quorum to
12 have enough to make a decision in this matter, so we
13 will be able to make a decision eventually in this
14 matter.
15 This hearing is regarding docket number OTH 16-
16 025, ConocoPhillips Alaska, Incorporated, who has
17 requested a meter allocation factor of one to be
18 applied at the fiscal allocation meter to be used at
19 Greater Mooses Tooth Number 1 development to allocate
20 production between the Greater Mooses Tooth and the
21 Colville River units.
22 On October 31st, 2016 the Department of Revenue
23 requested that the AOGCC hold this hearing today. The
24 AOGCC has determined that the potentially affected
25 landowners should be provided the opportunity to weigh
3
1 in on this request.
2 Computer Matrix will be recording the
3 proceedings, you can get a copy of the transcript from
4 Computer Matrix Reporting.
5 DOR has also requested that the comment period
6 be extended to allow time to review and understand
7 comments made at the hearing today. We will discuss
8 this request at the end of the hearing.
9 Also in an email that the AOGCC received on
10 November 16th, 2016, Bud Cribley, the State Director
11 for the U.S. Bureau of Land Management said that BLM
12 supports the allocation factor of one.
13 We also just received an email from Mr. Ken
14 Alper of Alaska Department of Revenue on the 16th
15 regarding tax implications and shrinkage. And in the
16 email he stated that John would have more to say about
17 this today. I assume he's talking about John Larsen,
18 is that true?
19 MR. LARSEN: I'm here.
20 COMMISSIONER SEAMOUNT: And you plan to
21 testify; is that correct?
22 MR. LARSEN: Yes.
23 COMMISSIONER SEAMOUNT: Okay. Good. Good.
24 Then you can explain the email to me because I just
25 read it or perused it.
E
1 Let's see, who else do we have to -- it looks
2 like Brandon Viator of ConocoPhillips plans to testify.
3 So I only see two people on the list who plan to
4 testify. Is there anybody else that plans to testify
5 today? As I've stated we are going to extend the
6 comment period so testimony can be in writing and
7 doesn't have to be today.
8 The Commissioners may have questions during the
9 testimony. After the testimony of the two witnesses we
10 will also take a recess to consult with staff to
11 determine whether additional information or clarifying
12 questions are necessary. If a member of the audience
13 has a question that he or she feels should be asked
14 please submit the question to Jody Colombie or Samantha
15 Carlisle who are raising their hand and are way in the
16 back by the big map on the wall. They will provide the
17 question to the Commissioners and if we feel that
18 asking the question will assist us in making our
19 determinations we will ask it.
20 For those testifying please keep in mind that
21 you must speak into the microphone so that those in the
22 audience and the court reporter can hear your
23 testimony.
24 Now if you're going to use slides please
25 reference your slides before you discuss them as far as
E
1 page number. If there's no page number on it,
2 reference the slides by their titles.
3 Additionally the testimony may not take the
4 form of cross examination. As I said before that Jody
5 or Samantha will take the questions and we'll decide
6 whether the questions are relevant to the issue at
7 hand.
8 So before we start, Commissioner French, do you
9 have anything to add?
10 COMMISSIONER FRENCH: No, but thank you.
11 COMMISSIONER SEAMOUNT: Okay. Why don't we
12 start. Who should testify first, ConocoPhillips or
13 Department of Revenue or does it matter? Well, it
14 looks like ConocoPhillips got here first so let's hear
15 what ConocoPhillips has to say.
16 I guess I better swear you in. In fact, both
17 people who are going to testify please raise your right
18 hand.
19 (Oath administered)
20 MR. VIATOR: Yes.
21 MR. LARSEN: Yes.
22 COMMISSIONER SEAMOUNT: And both testifiers
23 have said they did.
24 So does the ConocoPhillips person want to be
25 considered an expert witness?
on
1 MR. VIATOR: Yes.
2 COMMISSIONER SEAMOUNT: Okay. If that's the
3 fact, please state your name, your qualifications and
4 how you would like to be considered, what kind of
5 expert testifier are you -- what you would like to be
6 the expert -- what practice you would like to be the
7 expert in.
8 MR. VIATOR: My name is Brandon Viator and I
9 would like to be recognized as an expert in oil and gas
10 developments. I've been with ConocoPhillips for 15
11 years, I have a degree in chemical engineering from
12 Texas A&M University. I've worked in a number of oil
13 and gas development projects over the last 10 years
14 both domestic and international, serving in roles as
15 project manager, project engineer, project integration
16 manager and my current role is the project integration
17 manager for the Greater Mooses Tooth unit.
18 COMMISSIONER SEAMOUNT: Thank you, Mr. Viator.
19 Commissioner Hollis, do you have any questions or
20 comments?
21 COMMISSIONER FRENCH: And the area of expertise
22 you want to be -- the area of expertise you're asking
23 to be granted expert status in is exactly oil and gas
24 development, anything related to flow measurement?
25 MR. VIATOR: Yes.
1 COMMISSIONER FRENCH: That's fine.
2 COMMISSIONER SEAMOUNT: Do you have any
3 objections?
4 COMMISSIONER FRENCH: No.
5 COMMISSIONER SEAMOUNT: You're in luck today,
6 Mr. Viator, because our other Commissioner, Cathy
7 Foerster, went to UT. And I have no prob -- no
8 questions and other than that no comments. And I will
9 -- we will consider you as an expert witness in oil and
10 gas development. So please proceed.
11 BRANDON VIATOR
12 previously sworn, called as a witness on behalf of
13 ConocoPhillips Alaska, Inc., stated as follows on:
14 DIRECT EXAMINATION
15 MR. VIATOR: Thank you. So thank you for the
16 opportunity to speak this morning. I just wanted to
17 point out that up until yesterday we weren't expected
18 or anticipating to provide testimony, but we were asked
19 by the AOGCC to give some brief discussion on why a
20 fixed meter factor was chosen.
21 So prior to submitting our application to the
22 AOGCC ConocoPhillips met with each of the mineral right
23 owners associated with the Colville River unit and the
24 Greater Mooses Tooth unit. Those owners include the
25 Arctic Slope Regional Corporation, the Alaska
t
1 Department of Natural Resources and the Bureau of Land
2 Management. The measurement application that we
3 submitted for regulatory approval evolved through
4 multiple discussions with various stakeholders and is
5 technically reasonable -- a technically reasonable
6 measurement system. The BLM stated use of an
7 allocation factor of one would meet their regulatory
8 requirements on the measurement system which we then
9 built into our applications.
10 During our meetings with the mineral right
11 owners we reviewed our proposed metering system and the
12 allocation factor requirements. We are not aware of
13 any objections from any of the mineral right owners or
14 other stakeholders regarding our proposed system or the
15 allocation factor.
16 And that's all the testimony that we had
17 planned to submit today so we thank you.
18 COMMISSIONER SEAMOUNT: Commissioner Hollis, do
19 you have any questions?
20 COMMISSIONER FRENCH: Is it a question or is it
21 a statement. I guess I'm trying to think if I have a
22 question for you. Have you used these Coriolis meters
23 in other installations that you've supervised or you've
24 worked on?
25
M
1 MR. VIATOR: Me personally, no.
2 COMMISSIONER FRENCH: Right. Right.
3 MR. VIATOR: No.
4 COMMISSIONER FRENCH: Right. That's my only
5 question. Thank you.
6 COMMISSIONER SEAMOUNT: Mr. Viator, what's the
7 range in error of using this type of meter or can you
8 tell, I mean, is it plus or minus?
9 MR. VIATOR: The meters themselves, I believe
10 we discussed this in the original hearing. So we
11 weren't really planning to discuss, you know, detailed
12 technical stuff so we didn't bring our technical
13 experts with us today and I don't have the exact
14 numbers so I don't want to speculate on what it was.
15 COMMISSIONER SEAMOUNT: This comment period, is
16 it possible that we could get that information during
17 the comment period.
18 MR. VIATOR: Certainly.
19 COMMISSIONER SEAMOUNT: Okay. I had one other
20 question, but I'm going to wait until we hear from
21 Department of Revenue. But do you have a question,
22 Commissioner Hollis?
23 COMMISSIONER FRENCH: I've got an easier
24 question than that. what do you expect the flow rate
25 to be out of the Greater Mooses Tooth unit?
10
1 MR. VIATOR: So the -- you know, it varies over
2 time, but the peak, I want to say it's 20 to 24,000
3 barrels a day.
4 COMMISSIONER FRENCH: Thank you. And I guess
5 I'll just say, you know, something that we discussed
6 yesterday as we were getting ready for the hearing was
7 the -- you know, not this unit because this -- I think
8 everybody sees that this is, you know, it's too small a
9 development to demand a LACI metering system. So, you
10 know, we all want to see this unit go forward and this
11 seems to make sense, but as we do need to push further
12 west in the NPRA, you know, you can see where we could
13 string together, you know, four or five more of these
14 10 to 20,000 barrel a day units and none of them
15 standing alone can justify a, you know, full blown
16 three phase separation with a LACT meter at the
17 outflow. And yet, you know, in the aggregate it
18 obviously would justify that. So that's -- I guess
19 that's at least one of the concerns I have and I think
20 it's shared here in the building, you know, how far out
21 do we go before we say that's too far. This is -- you
22 know, this is not that case, but you can see that
23 potentially coming.
24 Just a comment. Thanks.
25 COMMISSIONER SEAMOUNT: Okay. Let's hear from
11
1 our next testifier. Would you like to be considered an
2 expert witness?
3 MR. LARSEN: No, sir.
4 COMMISSIONER SEAMOUNT: Okay. Please state
5 your name and who you work for and I guess you could
6 say something about title, qualifications, whatever you
7 do.
8 JOHN LARSEN
9 previously sworn, called as a witness on behalf of
10 Alaska Department of Revenue stated as follows on:
11 DIRECT EXAMINATION
12 MR. LARSEN: Sure. First I want to thank the
13 AOGCC for granting DOR's request to hold the hearing
14 today. My name is John Larsen, I'm an audit master
15 with the Department of Revenue. I'm a 1985 graduate of
16 the University of Alaska Anchorage. I spent 18 years
17 as an auditor with the Department of Natural Resources
18 and I've been with the Department of Revenue since
19 2007.
20 Next as I said I'm certainly not an expert in
21 these matters and I'd like to clarify that DOR's
22 request to hold the public hearing was made not in
23 order to provide any public testimony on metering
24 because that's not the function of the Department of
25 Revenue and the Department does not have this expertise
12
1 in-house, but rather to gain a better understanding of
2 any fiscal impact to the state as a sovereign as well
3 as any potential implications for the DOR with respect
4 to tax allocations with respect to each of the
5 respective units. As the Commission may or may not be
6 aware production from the Greater Mooses Tooth appears
7 to be eligible to receive the benefit of the gross
8 value reduction in the reporting and payment of
9 production tax liabilities. The GVR allows that
10 qualifying production may receive the benefit of a
11 reduction in the gross value at the point of production
12 of 20 percent depending on the lease and royalty terms
13 whereas production from the Colville River unit will
14 not. While the DOR as I'm sure the entire state is
15 encouraged by the prospects of new and continuing
16 developments from Alaska North Slope, it is also the
17 responsibility of the Department to ensure that the
18 state and its citizens receive the full amount of tax
19 revenues to which the state is entitled especially in
20 these challenging fiscal environments that we are all
21 operating within.
22 Therefore the Department requested this hearing
23 as an opportunity to perhaps gather information on
24 volumes, other additional PAs or expansions that may
25 occur within the unit to better understand the unique
13
1 aspects of the proposed metering and perhaps also to
2 help inform the Department in the identification of any
3 specific issues that may be pertinent and of relevance
4 to the Department in its role as tax collector for the
5 sovereign.
6 The requested meter allocation factor of 1.0
7 means essentially that there are not any fiscal impacts
8 to the Greater Mooses Tooth for shrinkage in the
9 transportation and processing of fluids from the GMT
10 and that all of these impacts will be attributed to
11 production from the Colville River unit.
12 That's all I have for this morning. I
13 appreciate the opportunity to appear before you here
14 today.
15 COMMISSIONER SEAMOUNT: Thank you, Mr. Larsen.
16 Commissioner Hollis, do you have any questions?
17 COMMISSIONER FRENCH: I guess my concern or at
18 least I have a concern outside of the production tax
19 side on the royalty side. It strikes me that that's
20 just as likely a place where the state could receive
21 either more or less depending on how that balance is
22 struck, depending on how accurate the Coriolis meter
23 is. And I don't know what the -- what the royalty
24 shares are for the state at, I'll call it Alpine and
25 versus the Greater Mooses Tooth and do you know?
14
1 MR. LARSEN: No, sir, I cannot tell you what
2 those royalty percentages are here today. Would -- if
3 you would like I could probably try and find that
4 information for you.
5 COMMISSIONER FRENCH: I would. Yeah, I'd be
6 interested.
7 MR. LARSEN: Okay.
8 COMMISSIONER FRENCH: Yeah.
9 MR. LARSEN: All right.
10 COMMISSIONER FRENCH: That's my only question.
11 Thank you, Commissioner.
12 MR. LARSEN: And just to clarify that's the
13 royalty rates in both the Greater Mooses Tooth and
14 Alpine?
15 COMMISSIONER FRENCH: Right.
16 MR. LARSEN: Okay.
17 COMMISSIONER FRENCH: Right.
18 MR. LARSEN: Yes, sir. All right. Thanks.
19 COMMISSIONER FRENCH: If the state -- I mean,
20 if the state owns the exact same royalty someone's
21 taking a hit.
22 MR. LARSEN: Well, and maybe -- I don't know if
23 I can anticipate the question that maybe they're seeing
24 there. The Greater Mooses Tooth is in the NPRA and so
25 those will be federal leases at the federal royalty
15
1 rate. The state does receive.....
2 COMMISSIONER FRENCH: We share.....
3 MR. LARSEN: .....a share of the royalties.....
4 COMMISSIONER FRENCH: Right.
5 MR. LARSEN: .....but I will confirm when I
6 send in the royalty rates, but I do not believe there
7 are any state leases or state royalty within the
8 Greater Mooses Tooth unit itself, that they will all
9 either exist within the federal leases or ASRC.
10 COMMISSIONER FRENCH: So if -- just for the
11 purposes of discussion, if we're getting half of the 20
12 percent federal royalty out of NPRA that's 10.....
13 MR. LARSEN: Yes, sir.
14 COMMISSIONER FRENCH: .....versus the normal
15 one-eighth I'm going to assume we get out of Alpine?
16 MR. LARSEN: Let me check on the Alpine to see
17 if that is.....
18 COMMISSIONER FRENCH: Okay.
19 MR. LARSEN: .....12 and a half percent.
20 COMMISSIONER FRENCH: Okay.
21 MR. LARSEN: Uh-huh.
22 COMMISSIONER FRENCH: Okay. Fair enough. I
23 see quizzical looks out there so I -- we're all a
24 little puzzled and we'll get the answer, yeah. Great.
25
16
1 MR. LARSEN: That's right, I.....
2 COMMISSIONER FRENCH: There's no one number.
3 MR. LARSEN: .....there's not one number.....
4 COMMISSIONER FRENCH: Okay.
5 MR. LARSEN: .....there's a mix of leases.....
6 COMMISSIONER FRENCH: Okay.
7 MR. LARSEN: .....so we'll give you kind of the
8 blended rate there. And it will depend on
9 production.....
10 COMMISSIONER FRENCH: Sure.
11 MR. LARSEN: .....from each of those
12 leases.....
13 COMMISSIONER FRENCH: Sure.
14 MR. LARSEN: .....of how they're impacted.
15 COMMISSIONER FRENCH: Thank you.
16 MR. LARSEN: Yes, sir.
17 COMMISSIONER FRENCH: But I guess the greater
18 point is that the state's looked at this, you know the
19 Tax Division's looked at this, and the Department of
20 Revenue and the Tax Division are satisfied that this is
21 a good idea.
22 MR. LARSEN: We think the Greater Mooses Tooth
23 is a -- very encouraging as I said. I can certainly
24 understand why the BLM supports a factor of 1.0.
25 Essentially there's no shrinkage factor attributed to
17
1 any of the BLM royalties of which like -- as you
2 indicated the state would receive a share of those, but
3 it's a smaller share of that.
4 COMMISSIONER FRENCH: But to the larger
5 question is the state thinks this is a good idea?
6 MR. LARSEN: Yes, the state supports the
7 Greater Mooses Tooth development.
8 COMMISSIONER FRENCH: The state thinks that
9 it's a good idea to apply a factor of 1.0 to the
10 Coriolis meter?
11 MR. LARSEN: As I said I am not the metering
12 expert.
13 COMMISSIONER FRENCH: Okay. I'm not going to
14 make you say it so if you don't want to say it that's
15 fine. Thank you.
16 MR. LARSEN: Uh-huh.
17 COMMISSIONER FRENCH: I get it.
18 COMMISSIONER SEAMOUNT: Okay. Mr. Larsen, I
19 understand that DOR has requested that the comment
20 period be extended to allow time to review and I assume
21 that the other parties involved would like to provide
22 written comments. Right now it looks like it's
23 ConocoPhillips, ASRC, BLM, Department of Natural
24 Resources, Department of Revenue, did I miss anybody,
25 are all those institutes going to provide comments?
1 I see heads nodding.
2 MR. LARSEN: Yes, sir, we will. The Department
3 of Revenue will provide comments.
4 COMMISSIONER SEAMOUNT: It looks like everybody
5 I mentioned has nodded their head yes. How much time
6 would we need -- well, actually before we do that why
7 don't we take a recess and see if our staff has any
8 additional questions or comments to make. And so with
9 that we're going to go off the record at 9:29 and we
10 will be back in 15 minutes at 9:45.
11 (Off record)
12 (On record)
13 COMMISSIONER SEAMOUNT: Okay. This hearing is
14 back in session at 8:45. Commissioner Hollis, do you
15 have any questions or comments?
16 COMMISSIONER FRENCH: After consulting with
17 staff we have a couple questions for you and we'd like
18 you to follow-up and let us know. First, is the
19 metering system at the Greater Mooses Tooth, the
20 Coriolis meter, is that similar to the allocation
21 meters currently in use at the Colville unit. That's
22 question one, are they similar systems. Two, what the
23 historical range of meter factors of the allocation
24 meters at Colville. Just so -- that'll give us some
25 idea of what the range of meter factors is. And the
19
1 third question, this is not directly related, but it's
2 just a matter of curiosity is what will be the leak
3 detection system for the Greater Mooses Tooth pipe line
4 before it ties in with Alpine or CD5.
5 Those are my only questions.
6 COMMISSIONER SEAMOUNT: Okay. Those are three
7 questions out there. I guess our -- part of our
8 mission is to protect the public's interest in oil and
9 gas development and I assume that the Department of
10 Revenue and Department of Natural Resources have the
11 same -- and of course the BLM have the same -- the same
12 issue, what they want to do. My question which I would
13 like answered and I'm proposing that we get these
14 questions, Hollis' question -- Senator French --
15 Commissioner French's questions answered by the end of
16 work day Monday, November 28th. Is that -- do all
17 parties agree that that's a reasonable date? And what
18 we would like to know, I mean, the simple question to
19 answer is why is everyone in agreement with an
20 allocation factor of one and we would like to see some
21 technology applied to the answer.
22 Is that understood, Mr. Cribley? Okay. And
23 Ms. Templeton?
24 MS. TEMPLETON: Yes.
25 COMMISSIONER SEAMOUNT: Okay. Do you have
20
1 anything to add, Commissioner Hollis.....
2 COMMISSIONER FRENCH: No, thank you.
3 COMMISSIONER SEAMOUNT: .....Commissioner
4 French? Okay. We will adjourn this meeting and wait
5 for your replies on close of business, Monday, November
6 28th.
7 And this hearing is adjourned for now.

To: Commissioners of the AOGCC
First, I would like to thank the AOGCC for granting DOR's request to hold the public hearing
here today.
Second, I would like to clarify that the DOR's request to hold the public hearing was made, not
in order to provide any public testimony on metering, because that is not the function of the DOR
and the department does not have this metering expertise in house, but rather to gain a better
understanding of any fiscal impacts to the State as sovereign, as well as any potential
implications for the DOR with respect to tax collections from each of the respective units. As
the Commission may or may not be aware, production from the GMT appears to be eligible to
receive the benefit of the `gross value reduction' in the reporting and payment of any production
tax liabilities. The GVR allows that qualifying production may receive the benefit of a reduction
in the gross value at the point of production of 20--W% depending on the lease and royalty terms.
Whereas, production from the Colville River Unit, will not. While the DOR, as I'm sure the
entire State, is encouraged by the prospects of new and continuing developments from Alaska's
North Slope, it is also the responsibility of the department to ensure that the State and its citizens
receive the full amount of tax revenues to which the State is entitled, especially in these
challenging fiscal environments that we are all operating within.
Therefore, the DOR requested the hearing as an opportunity to perhaps gather information on
volumes, other additional PAs or expansions that may occur within the unit, to better understand
the unique aspects of the proposed metering, and perhaps also, to help inform the department in
the identification of any specific issues that may be pertinent and of relevance to the department
in its role as tax collector for the sovereign.

907.670.4024
ConocoPhillips Alaska, Inc. (ConocoPhillips), as Unit Operator of the Greater Mooses Tooth Unit (GMTU)
and Colville River Unit (CRU), and on behalf of itself and the other working interest owner in the GMTU
and CRU, Anadarko E&P Onshore LLC, requests approval for a proposed hydrocarbon production
measurement and allocation system for the first GMTU development GMT1. As described in detail in
Attachment 1 to this letter, GMT1 is designed as a satellite drillsite in the National Petroleum Reserve -
Alaska (NPR -A) west of the existing CD -5 drillsite in the Colville River Unit (CRU). GMT1 construction is
scheduled to begin in fourth quarter 2016, and first oil is planned to begin in the fourth quarter of 2018.
ConocoPhillips has not yet submitted an application for a conservation order for the oil pools to be
developed by GMT1. However, AOGCC Industry Guidance Bulletin 13-002 specifies that AOGCC
approval of custody transfer measurement is required before installation of the meter system, which as
a practical matter means approval is required at the engineering and procurement stage of
development. Thus, ConocoPhillips is seeking AOGCC approval in advance of the application for pool
rules. At this point, not all of the information listed in Guidance Bulletin 13-002 can be provided, in part
because actual equipment must be installed before some of the information can be obtained. Yet, it is
important to secure AOGCC approval of the system for which equipment will soon be purchased.
ConocoPhillips thus seeks approval now, with the understanding that the AOGCC might later require
specific information that is not presently available.
ConocoPhillips is also seeking approval now because of the unique nature of the GMTU, which includes
in part oil and gas leases conveyed by the federal Bureau of Land Management, and which is
administered by the BLM. ConocoPhillips has discussed measurement issues with BLM at length, and
most recently submitted an application for BLM approval of a proposed measurement system on
January 21, 2016. Attachments 1— 4 to this cover letter, which provide details, technical specifications,
and context for the proposed measurement system, are substantially the same attachments that have
been provided to the BLM. In some particulars, the attachments are directed at BLM-specific issues, but
overall they address issues of interest to both the AOGCC and the BLM. ConocoPhillips is seeking
concurrent regulatory approval from both the AOGCC and the BLM for the proposed measurement
system.
The proposed GMT1 measurement system includes a 3-phase production separator providing
continuous measurement of GMT1 oil production using a Coriolis meter and water cut analyzer. It also
includes American Gas Association (AGA) compliant orifice meter runs for produced gas. After
separation and measurement at the GMT1 drillsite, the produced fluids will be recombined and flow to
the CD5 drillsite in the CRU, where production from the two drillsites will be combined and flow to
Alpine production facilities. At the Alpine production facilities, commingled production from GMT1 and
all of the CRU drillsites will be separated, processed, and delivered to the Alpine Pipeline, through a
Lease Automatic Custody Transfer (LACT) meter, for transportation to market.
The proposed system for GMT1 differs from the existing well test allocation system in effect at CRU.
GMT1 production will be measured continuously within the GMTU prior to being commingled with CRU
production, and will in effect have an allocation factor of 1.0 at the CRU LACT meter.
The measurement system proposed for GMT1 also includes AGA -compliant orifice meter runs at GMT1
for re-injection gas and miscible injection gas that will flow from the Alpine production facilities back to
GMT1. To the extent the system involves measurement of gas produced from CRU, ConocoPhillips seeks
approval for off -unit measurement of the gas at GMT1.
As AOGCC staff is already aware through informal discussions, the proposed GMT1 measurement
system is designed to provide a high degree of accuracy, to gain approval of both AOGCC and the BLM,
and to be economically reasonable. The system may not strictly conform to the API standard adopted in
20 AAC 25.228(b), but we believe it lies well within the Commission's authority to adopt reasonable
orders to provide for the measuring of oil and gas under AS 31.05.030(c)(6). Documentation in
Attachment 1 — 4 supporting this application includes a complete description of the proposed
equipment and a detailed uncertainty analysis including the uncertainty associated with shrinkage.
If you have questions or need additional information, please contact Brandon Viator, Project Integration
Manager —GMTU, at 907-263-4653.

A. Requested Approvals
ConocoPhillips requests Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation
Commission (AOGCC) approval for the Greater Mooses Tooth #1 (GMT1) measurement system
design, described in Attachment 2, GMT1 Flow Measurement and Metering Philosophy — Three
Phase Production Separator. This document constitutes a submission for approval of the proposed
oil measurement concepts for GMT1 in accordance with section "E — Oil Measurement by Other
Methods" of the BLM onshore order number four; Measurement of Oil (1989) and BLM's December
24, 2014 letter expressing intent to approve a measurement system with a continuous separator for
GMT1. This document is also in accordance with Alaska Administrative Code 20 AAC 25.228
covering the application for AOGCC approval of production measurement equipment for custody
transfer.
The need for this submission stems from the operational scenario for GMT1 and is associated with
the measurement of hydrocarbon liquids at elevated temperature and pressure (which are not
stable) as per the requirements of the American Petroleum Institute (API) Manual of Petroleum
Measurement Standards (MPMS) chapter 6.1 Metering Assemblies - Lease Automatic Custody
Transfer (LACT) Systems (2012)
ConocoPhillips also requests BLM approve royalty free beneficial use of fuel gas on the GMT1
drillsite. GMT1 fuel gas will be used in participating area (PA) specific operations (like the drillsite
produced fluids heater) as depicted in Attachments 1E, 1F and 1G. A production heater will be
located at GMT1 to provide heat prior to measurement and transportation of produced fluids via
pipeline back to the Alpine Central Facility (ACF) for processing. After processing at the ACF, gas for
fuel, injection and artificial lift are sent back to GMT1 via pipeline connections at CD5.
As shown in Attachment 1E, total gas will be measured at GMT1 before being sent to the ACF for
processing. The conditioned GMT1 gas will then be sent back to GMT1 for use as fuel, injection and
artificial lift. Any excess gas not used at GMT1 can be utilized in the CRU as fuel, injection or
artificial lift and appropriately measured. AOGCC approval is also requested for the custody transfer
measurement of the gas used at GMTU for fuel, injection, and artificial lift, to be located at GMT1
rather than in the Colville River Unit (CRU).
B. GIVITI Project Description
The GMT1 project will develop the first drill site in the Greater Moose's Tooth Unit (GMTU) which is
in the northeast corner of the National Petroleum Reserve — Alaska (NPR -A). The GMT1 project is
planned to construct a drillsite, access road, pipelines, power lines, bridges, and ancillary facilities
for recovery of petroleum resources within the GMTU. The GMT1 drillsite will be located 14 miles
west of the CRU CD1 drillsite and the ACF.
The GMT1 project will develop Arctic Slope Regional Corporation (ASRC) and federal leases from an
oil accumulation formed by a stratigraphic trap of Upper Jurassic sandstones (Alpine C sandstone
equivalent) similar to what has been developed at CD1. The GMT1 satellite was discovered in 2000
by the Lookout #1 well; was delineated in 2002 by the Lookout #2, Mitre 1, and Mitre 1A wells; and
is covered by 1999 and 2015 3D Seismic datasets. The GMT1 project will provide sufficient
infrastructure to support development of up to 33 wells.
The proposed GMT1 infrastructure will tie back to the CRU at the CD5 drillsite and will be the fifth
satellite developed through the ACF following development of the Qannik CD2, Fiord CD3, Nanuq
CD4, and Alpine West CD5 satellites (see Attachment 1A). The project will produce 3-phase fluids
(oil, gas, and water) which will be carried by pipeline to the CRU ACF at CD1 for processing. Water
and gas will be returned to GMTU by pipeline to support enhanced oil recovery of GMTU resources.
Sales -quality crude oil produced at the ACF will be transported from CD1 via the existing Alpine Sales
Oil Pipeline and Kuparuk Pipeline to the Trans -Alaska Pipeline System (TAPS) for shipment to
market. Development and production of hydrocarbons from GMT1 will help offset declines in
production from the Alaskan North Slope and maintain throughput of TAPS. Development will also
provide benefits to local, state, and national economies through local hire for jobs created during
construction and operations, tax revenues, revenue sharing, royalties, and new resources to help
meet US domestic energy demand. The GMT1 development is expected to employ up to 700 people
during the peak of construction and result in new full time positions upon startup.
The Naval Petroleum Reserves Production Act of 1976 (NPRPA) authorizes and directs the Secretary
of the Interior to "further explore, develop, and operate" the National Petroleum Reserve -Alaska
(NPR -A) (10 USC Section § 7422[c]). The GMT1 Development Project promotes the exploration and
development of oil and gas resources in the NPR -A. Specifically, the NPRPA, as amended,
encourages oil and gas leasing in the NPR -A while requiring protection of important surface
resources and uses. Executive Order 13212 directs federal agencies to give priority to energy-
related projects: "For energy-related projects, agencies shall expedite their review of permits or take
other actions as necessary to accelerate the completion of such projects, while maintaining safety,
public health, and environmental protections."
The current GMT1 Development Project seeks to minimize environmental impacts by leveraging
existing infrastructure where available and avoid redundancy and waste. One of the key aspects of
this approach is the utilization of the existing installed processing capacity at the ACF. The use of
this facility greatly reduces the environmental footprint of GMT1 by eliminating the need for a
standalone GMT1 processing facility capable of producing sales -quality crude oil. Without approval
of an alternative measurement method, a processing facility would have to be built as part of the
proposed project to accommodate custody transfer metering prior to sales -quality crude leaving the
lease or unit PA. The estimated incremental environmental and cost impacts associated with such a
processing facility are discussed beginning on page 6 of Attachment 3, October 1, 2014 Whitepaper
— GMT1 Commingling, Allocation, and Measurement Summary. Note that the measurement system
submitted for approval here differs in some ways from the system originally proposed and discussed
in the October 1, 2014 whitepaper. Attachment 4, Production Facility Analysis, has also been
included to demonstrate the project value impact if GMT1 was required to install a processing
facilitV in order to meet metering requirements.
A related consideration that should be taken into account when evaluating this proposal is the
viability of permitting a development which does not allow oil measurement by other methods.
Permitting agencies and stakeholders are keen on reducing any impacts to the environment and
subsistence lifestyle of local native residents. The wetlands fill permit for the GMT1 project,
designed as a satellite drill site that relies on existing ACF infrastructure for processing, has been
approved by the United States Army Corps of Engineers as the Least Environmentally Damaging
Practicable Alternative (LEDPA).
C. Maps and Schematics Depicting Units and Facilities
The map and figures included as Attachments 1B and 1C, show the GMTU leases, proposed
development wells and conceptual unit participating area (PA). The map and figures illustrate how
GMT1 pipelines tie back to the CRU.
The GMT1 development drillsite consists of eight process modules and a well row. The process
modules consist of a pig launcher/receiver module, production heater, test separator, remote
electrical & instrumentation module (REIM), emergency shutdown module (ESD), chemical injection
module, fuel gas conditioning skid (fuel gas is supplied to the drillsites from the ACF), and a
production separator system which will be used as the GMT1 point of royalty. Attachment 1D, the
proposed GMT1 site plan, displays the layout of the drillsite infrastructure. Attachment 1E provides
a GMT1 drillsite process flow diagram and Attachment 1F provides additional detail on the GIVITI
production separator measurement system.
The ACF simplified process flow diagram is shown in Attachment 1G. The ACF separates and
processes well bore fluids from the associated drillsite facilities and delivers sales -quality crude oil.
ACF processed produced water is returned to the drillsites for re-injection into the producing
formations to maintain reservoir pressure and provide secondary flood support. ACF processed gas
is: (i) used to fuel plant and drillsite facility equipment, (ii) provided to the Village of Nuiqsut in
accordance with the terms and conditions of the Surface Use Agreement between ConocoPhillips
and Kuukpik Corporation, (iii) re -injected in the Alpine reservoir to maintain reservoir pressure for
increased recovery, and (iv) used for gas lift.

The GMT1 project will develop the first drill site in the Greater Moose's Tooth Unit (GMTV)
which is in the northeast corner of the National Petroleum Reserve — Alaska (NPR -A). The
GMT1 project will develop resources on Arctic Slope Regional Corporation (ASRC) and federal
government leases, and ConocoPhillips seeks approval for the measurement system design
from both the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation
Commission (AOGCC).
This document is part of a submission package for approval of the proposed oil measurement
system for GMT1 in accordance with Section E — ("Oil Measurement by Other Methods") of the
BLM Onshore Oil and Gas Order No. 4; Measurement of Oil (1989). This document is also in
accordance with BLM's December 24, 2014 letter expressing intent to approve a measurement
system for GMT1 that uses a continuous separator, and with Alaska Administrative Code 20
AAC 25.228, which addresses AOGCC approval for production measurement prior to custody
transfer.
The need for this submission stems from the design of GMT1 as a satellite drillsite that will
deliver three-phase production to Alpine Central Facilities (ACF) for separation and processing.
Accordingly, the measurement of hydrocarbon liquids will occur at elevated temperature and
pressure which are not stable as per the requirements of the American Petroleum Institute (API)
Manual of Petroleum Measurement Standards (MPMS) chapter 6.1 Metering Assemblies -
Lease Automatic Custody Transfer (LACT) Systems (2012).
Additionally, this submission is requesting an AOGCC approval of off lease measurement of re-
injection and miscible injection gas from Colville River Unit (CRU) at GMT1 per 20 AAC 25.228.
which requires custody transfer measurement prior to hydrocarbon production severance from
the unit where produced. The off lease gas measurement methodology is proposed to minimize
impacts to existing infrastructure in the CRU and overall Proiect cost
The metering system is designed for approval under both State of Alaska and Federal
regulatory requirements as per Table 1 below.

2.0 VOLUMETRIC CONVERSION
The following paragraphs provide an explanation and illustration as to why it is not possible to
comply with the BLM onshore order for oil measurement and why we must submit an application
to measure oil by other methods to those prescribed in Onshore Order No. 4. The GMT1 project
constraints require that we measure live fluids at elevated temperature and pressure.
Standard volume is not a wholly measured parameter; it is a parameter derived from a
measurement of volume at operational conditions which is then converted by means of
empirical or laboratory analysis data to a volume at standard conditions.
The conversion of stable fluids from observed volume to standard volume is achieved using
Volume Correction Factors (VCF) derived from tables and calculations created by the API and
which have an uncertainty budget in the region of +/- 0.1 %.
The conversion of live fluids from observed volume to standard volume is achieved through the
application of a Shrinkage Factor (SF) which is derived from laboratory pressure, volume and
temperature (PVT) testing or equation of state (EOS) modeling based upon detailed
compositional analysis. The uncertainty budget for these methods are dependent upon a range
of variables which include the representivity of samples, the quality of test equipment and the
detail of compositional data obtained. The uncertainty budget associated with Shrinkage Factors
is not well documented for either laboratory or EOS modeling; however available industry
literature such as the draft API MPMS Chapter 21.4 and experience from field operations
elsewhere in ConocoPhillips suggests that +/-2% is a reasonable estimate. Appendix A of this
document provides approximately four years of ConocoPhillips United Kingdom J -Block daily
mass balance errors as field operations evidence in support of the uncertainty budget estimate.
The conversion of volume at operational conditions to volume at standard conditions will incur a
penalty of +/-0.1 % when applied to stabilized fluids and a penalty of +/-2% when applied to live
fluids. Table 2 below provides an illustration of the comparable measurement uncertainties for
stable and live fluids.

Measurement System Design, Operation and Maintenance
It is very important to note that the differences in performance in determining Standard Volume
between the BLM onshore order or AOGCC requirements and ConocoPhillips proposed
metering system design are not related to the base accuracy of the flow meters or hardware
components of the metering system.
The ConocoPhillips proposed measurement system design, utilizing Coriolis flow meters, will
meet the BLM performance requirements for the measurement of Mass and Gross Observed
Volume but will not meet the performance standard required for Standard Volume.
The measurement uncertainty estimate for GMT1 oil production is provided as Appendix B of
this document where a maximum value of +/- 2.1% at 95% confidence level has been
determined. The calculations required to determine Net Standard Volume are also contained
within the uncertainty calculation provided in Appendix B.
The operating and maintenance methods contained in section 3.3 of this document will allow us
to monitor and verify the performance of the metering system and its components to
demonstrate ongoing compliance with agreements reached based upon this submission in
accordance with the onshore order.
3.0 FLOW MEASUREMENT AND METERING SYSTEM DESCRIPTIONS
The oil metering system described in this section has been designed to obtain approval under
state and federal regulations and incorporates experience from existing installations and
previous projects.
The GMT1 project is located 14 miles west of the Alpine Central Facility (ACF) in the GMTU
within the NPR -A on the North Slope of Alaska. The GMT1 drillsite development scope includes

all on -pad production facilities and off -pad infrastructure including a gravel access road and
drillsite pad. The GMT1 development will connect to the CD5 drillsite via eight miles of
pipelines, power lines, and gravel road; providing the first infrastructure into the GMTU and
connecting the project to the existing CD5 and CRU infrastructure. The project scope includes
9 initial wells (4 production wells and 5 injection wells). The GMT1 drillsite gravel pad will
accommodate up to 33 wells for possible future development.
GMT1 will consist of eight process modules and a well row. The process modules consist of a
pig launcher/receiver module, full flow three-phase production separator, production heater, test
separator, remote electrical & instrumentation module (REIM), emergency shutdown module
(ESD), chemical injection module and fuel gas conditioning module. The drillsite full -flow
production separator, elevated to prevent gas breakout, will serve as AOGCC's unit boundary
custody transfer measurement and BLM's point of royalty measurement (PRM) for produced oil
and gas hydrocarbon streams. After measurement, the well fluids will be recombined and travel
to ACF in the production crude pipeline.
The ACF separates and processes well bore fluids from the production crude pipeline and
delivers sales -quality crude oil. ACF -processed produced water is returned to the drill sites for
re-injection into the producing formations to maintain reservoir pressure and provide secondary
flood support. ACF -processed gas is returned to the drillsite as miscible injection (MI) or lift gas,
or used within the plant as fuel gas. MI is re -injected in the reservoir to maintain reservoir
pressure and to enhance oil recovery. Lift gas is used for production well lift and converted to
fuel gas for drillsite utilities.
3.1 Custody Transfer/Point of Royalty Metering
The custody transfer/PRM system shall consist of a horizontal vessel which will operate as a
three-phase separator (vapor/water/oil). Vessel internals will consist of an inlet cyclonic
separator, weir (three-phase operation), mist extractor on the gas outlet, vortex breaker and
sand -jet system.
It is anticipated that the water content flowing through the oil leg of the production separator will
not exceed 10% by volume at any point throughout field life
3.1.1 Production Separator Oil Metering
The oil metering system shall consist of two Micro Motion Elite Coriolis Flow Meters installed in
a parallel configuration, sized to cope with the full range of expected flow rates, and includes
strainer, inline mixer, water cut analyzer, pressure and temperature instrumentation and control
valves. All flow measurement information shall be fed to a dedicated flow computer in order to
calculate Net oil volume at standard conditions. An automatic flow proportional sample system
shall be installed in order to permit collection of representative oil samples for laboratory
analysis. Process and Instrumentation diagrams (P+ID's) of the GMT1 production separator and
oil metering system can be seen at Appendix C of this document.
This is a dual redundant metering system configuration which will permit maintenance and
operational activities to be performed without interruption to production.
Flow calculations shall be performed as per the calculation detail provided in Appendix B of this
document and in accordance with API chapter 20.1 Allocation Metering.

The production separator gas outlet metering system shall include two meter runs providing for
the full range of gas flowrates from the drillsite Conceptually this will be accomplished by two
similar AGA compliant orifice meter runs of different size Additionally, the two meter runs
provide a level of redundancy, again to help ensure improved drillsite uptime Fully redundant
meter runs were deemed not necessary due to the highly reliable orifice metering technology
and the relatively minimal maintenance down time to repair the meter.
Each meter run will consist of upstream and downstream meter tubes flow conditioner, senior

diagnostic system Indicates degradation in measurement performance
Drillsite Gas frl'leterirnp
Hydrocarbon gas management at GMT1 will require conformance to the applicable federal and
state regulations. Similarly to produced hydrocarbons AOGCC requires custody transfer
measurement of hydrocarbon gas streams between units It has been determined that total

gas and fuel gas measurement will be reguired to conform with the applicable standards as
they are Included in the qas royalty determination and commercial gas agreements
Total drillsite reiniection artificial lift MI and fuel gas stream meterinq systems shall consist of

differential pressure diagnostic system shall be installed on the gas meter runs to monitor the
health of the gas metering systems.
In order to minimize impacts to existing infrastructure at CRU the custody transfer gas meter
stations will be physically located on the GMT1 drillsite This will require an off lease waiver
approval per 20 AAC 25.22$ which requires custody transfer measurement prior to
hydrocarbon production severance from the unit where produced

3.3 Operation and Maintenance
3.3.1 Coriolis Oil Meters
Flow meter verification is accomplished by monthly checking of meter health utilizing Smart
Meter Verification (SMV) functionality, which permits automated and online verification of the
flow meters. The results of the SMV verifications are trended over time and provide traceable
evidence of meter performance within defined manufacturer limits. In addition, each flow meter
shall be removed from service and calibrated at an accredited facility on an annual basis. This
approach to monitoring and calibrating Coriolis flow meters has been implemented elsewhere in
ConocoPhillips and has yielded satisfactory results over a number of years. Evidence in support
of this practice is provided at Appendix D of this document where we have provided traceable
information and certification of historical meter performance. We have also included SMV
trending from Coriolis meters installed in test separator service at our existing drill sites in
Alaska which demonstrate that the required meter performance can be achieved in this
environment and that we have the infrastructure available to perform these checks.
Manufacturer's brochures for Micro Motion Elite coriolis flowmeters and SMV are provided in
Appendix E.
3.3.2 Differential Pressure Gas Meters
Differential pressure aas meter verification is in part accomplished by the continuously running
DP Diagnostics system. This advanced diagnostic system can reliably warn of orifice meter
problems such as two-phase flow, contamination build-up through the meter, blocked impulse
lines, saturated or drifting differential pressure transmitters or buckled backwards or worn
plates. Additionally the orifice plates will be pulled for inspection and the meter tubes inspected
with a boroscope annually.
Manufacturer's brochures for Daniel meter tubes and DP Dia nostics are rovided in Appendix
E.
3.3.3 Secondary Measurement Instruments
The measurement instruments which are used in the determination of net standard volume shall
be verified on a three monthly (quarterly) frequency. Verification frequency is based upon
historical performance of this equipment.
Manufacturer's brochures for Rosemount pressure and temperature transducers are provided in
Appendix E.
3.3.4 Sampling
Monthly flow proportional oil samples shall be obtained and occasional analyses performed as
events dictate in order to provide operations teams with data to compare against observed
online measurement parameters. Where a comparison of data shows a discrepancy between
observed online information and sample information this will trigger investigative work to resolve
the disparity.

Pressure, volume, temperature (PVT) analysis to determine shrinkage
Compositional analysis of evolved gaseous hydrocarbons
Compositional analysis of liquid hydrocarbons
Where it is found that any online data, which has been used in the determination of net standard
volume, needs to be corrected then operations teams will raise and submit a mismeasurement
report in order to correct the reported volumes.

3.3.5 Shrinkage Factor
Shrinkage factor (SF) shall be developed across a range of operating pressures and
temperatures so that any process variances are captured in order to prevent a systematic bias
impacting the measurement of oil. Table 3 below, linear interpolation matrix, provides an
indication of the method which will be employed to determine SF from operating temperature
and pressure.

Metering station design shall be according to all relevant specifications with respect to vessels,
piping, pipe supports, valves, materials, surface protection, insulation, heat tracing, weather
protection etc. and the metering stations shall be manufactured such that they are suitable for
the climatic conditions at the field location.
Design
Measurement system design as well as operational and maintenance activities will be based
upon state and federal regulatory requirements and agreements as well as the ConocoPhillips
standards.
This GMT1 Metering Philosophy supports the operating goals, so metering systems must allow
for scalable throughput, occasional turndown, minimally disruptive maintenance, and periodic
verification as dictated by regulations and commercial agreements. Single point of failure
outages that significantly affect throughput or increased measurement uncertainty are to be
avoided, and critical devices and equipment must be installed with redundancy. Meter runs
shall be installed using practices that reduce or eliminate uncertainty that may occur due to the
effects of piping arrangements, and will facilitate maintenance while minimizing requirements for
excessive disassembly, associated labor costs and HSE risks.
Bypasses around custody transfer/ PRM are generally not allowed. Bypasses built into the
design for operational flexibility shall be car sealed closed.
For accurate product measurement, it is necessary to provide means of fluid measurement and
calculation, as well as determination of fluid quality at appropriate points throughout the
process. Pressure and temperature compensation shall be applied to all applicable volumetric
measurements. Fluid quality measurement instruments or sampling systems shall be installed
for each significant fiscal measurement.
Measurement verification dictated by commercial agreements and regulatory requirements may
be accomplished in part via application of advanced electronics and systems diagnostics.
Communication links to smart instrumentation shall be installed to collect data, maintain and
verify devices, support record keeping, report and document failures and malfunctions, and
assist with overall reporting and compliance.
General Installation Requirements
All instruments, including meters and analyzers, shall be located so as to be readily accessible
for repair, or adjustment from operating level. Maintenance access shall normally be
accomplished by mounting of instruments and manifold valves on stands such that they are
accessible from grade. Where measurement accuracy or other physical conditions require
close—coupled instruments in a location not accessible from grade, an access platform shall be
provided.
Instruments shall be installed and mounted rigidly and normal to the vertical or horizontal plane
and in such a manner that they may be removed without disturbing adjacent equipment, piping
or tubing.
All instruments, equipment and components shall be suitable for the maximum extreme
environmental and climatic conditions in which they are installed. Protective housings or

weather—hoods may be required. Instruments and sense lines containing process fluids shall
have insulation, heat tracing, and/or seals where process fluids may undergo a change in phase
due to exposure to ambient temperatures.
All instruments, tubing, piping, fittings, instrument tags, instrument dials, etc., must be protected
from physical damage, contamination by dirt, sand, or other foreign material during transport,
storage, fabrication, painting, insulation and other assembly and construction activities. Dials,
glasses, nameplates, etc. must be free of paint, insulation, protection residue and other
defacing.
Instrument Traceability
The intent of instrument traceability is to obtain a permanent record and to verify that the
instruments will measure, indicate and operate within tolerances guaranteed by the Supplier in
accordance with the Instrument Specification and Data Sheets.
Meter station transmitters and indicators shall be factory calibrated whenever possible and
calibration sheets provided. All instrumentation with factory calibration will be subjected to
functional checking.
Shop verification check of instruments that cannot be field -checked shall be witnessed.
Instruments shall meet the Supplier's published specifications, unless a prior written agreement
has been made.
All instruments supplied on package systems shall be calibrated and properly tagged.
Calibration sheets for these package instrumentation systems shall be turned over prior to
system checkout.
Measurement System Fabrication and Testing
Checks carried out during fabrication at vendor factories or facilities shall ensure that the
delivered system will meet design performance targets and that all required documentation is
available.
The metering system's fabrication shall be ensured to meet the approved design and that all
design and fabrication documentation is available.
Performance targets shall be verified by calibration/factory acceptance test (FAT), and the tests
shall be witnessed by appropriate stakeholders. All performance related documentation such as
calibration certificates and verification check reports shall be available for review by
stakeholders.
Commissioning
Commissioning activities ensure that performance targets achieved during fabrication are still
achievable after equipment has been transported, installed and electrically connected.
The performance targets shall be confirmed by instrument verification checks and site
acceptance test (SAT) and appropriately witnessed by stakeholders.
All installation/commissioning/verification/SAT documentation shall be available and properly
retained.

6.7 Handover
Handover requires close coordination. During this activity, punch list items are resolved and
verified.
For measurement systems, the Operator shall participate in the handover by reviewing and
approving punch list items and ensure any rework is identified for corrective action.
6.8 Maintenance
Operator shall ensure that all components of the measurement system are maintained in
accordance with regulatory and/or contractual obligations.
All instruments, flow computers, samplers, analyzers, and supporting equipment shall have a
maintenance frequency for each piece of equipment that is agreeable to partners and regulators
as appropriate. Calibration certificates shall be properly retained.
6.9 Test Equipment
The calibration of all test equipment shall be checked before being used for any verification
activity. If the test equipment is visibly damaged or the calibration certificate is over one year
old, the equipment shall be sent to a qualified independent testing laboratory for certification.
Test equipment recertification records shall be properly retained.
The test instrument calibration check shall be recorded on a label, showing the date and the
person or agency performing the check, and the label should be attached to the equipment in
such a place that it is easily visible and not easily removed.
All calibrations shall be performed using test equipment with accuracies at least one order of
magnitude lower than the instrument being calibrated.
6.10 Audit
Regular auditing of measurement systems will ensure compliance with regulatory and
contractual requirements. The audit shall include checks of the measurement system's
performance at current production rates and an assessment of activities required to maintain
metering system performance at target levels. After conducting an audit, the audit
findings/recommendations shall addressed/implemented within required time scales. The
uncertainty calculations shall reflect current production rates and fluid properties. Revised
uncertainty calculations shall be analyzed to identify any system modifications that may be
required to maintain the target/contractual performance targets.
The Operator shall support the auditing of measurement systems by third parties such as
regulatory bodies and contractual partners, if required.
