We are adding to 5 that regulation the phrase, below the base of 6 permafrost. So that's the proposed regulation. 7 Do we want to have -- do we want to build a 8 record and have somebody comment on why we're doing 9 that, Commissioners? 10 COMMISSIONER FOERSTER: Sure. I'll comment. 11 CHAIR FRENCH: Okay. Thank you. 12 COMMISSIONER FOERSTER: We had an incident with 13 a couple of BP wells that had -- well, one BP well that 14 had casing -- surface casing set above the base of the 15 permafrost. And because of the rest of the well 16 construction geometry that created a breach in 17 mechanical integrity. So we've done a statewide review 18 -- North Slope wide review of other wells and found a 19 few have similar construction, but not identical. One 20 had identical and that well's been shut-in. The other 21 ones with similar have been reviewed thoroughly and 22 there's nothing to cause us to have the concern that 23 they will have similar mechanical integrity issues. 24 But just to ensure we don't have other wells 25 with potential for this problem we are adding to our Computer Matrix, LLC Phone: 907-243-0668 135 Christensen Dr., Ste. 2., Anch.
