2010 Annual Reservoir Report
This Annual Reservoir Report for the period ending March 31, 2010 is being
submitted to the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission in accordance
with 20 AAC 25.517. It covers the period between April 1, 2009 and March 31,
2010.
Reservoir Management Summary
Production and injection volumes for the 12-month period ending March 31, 2010
are summarized in Table 1. Oil production volumes include allocated crude oil,
condensate and NGL production. Current well locations are shown in Figure 1.
A total of 91 Lisburne wells (including P&A’d wells) have been drilled as of March
31, 2010.
Oil recovery from the East and West areas of the Lisburne reservoir continues
through a combination of solution gas drive and gas cap expansion supported by
gas injection at LGI pad. Solution gas drive is the primary recovery mechanism in
the Central area supplemented by weak aquifer influx.
Reservoir Pressure Surveys within the Pool
A summary of reservoir pressure surveys obtained during the reporting period is
shown in Table 2.
Two wells, NK-25 and NK-26, completed in the Alapah formation in the Eastern
area of the field were shut-in on September 6, 2008 for reservoir management.
However, static pressures have not been measured due to a judicial decision in
the United States Court of Federal Claims limiting Operator’s right to use existing
surface facilities to access these two wells.
Results and Analysis of Production Logging Surveys
Lisburne wells which had production logs run during the time period April 1, 2009
thru March 31, 2010 are shown in Table 3 along with relevant comments.
Future Development Plans and Review of Plan of Operations and
Development
L5 Gas Cap Water Injection Surveillance
The L5 GCWI pilot project commenced injection in July of 2008. The initial
injection rate was 2 mbwipd, and over time has been gradually increased to the
target injection rate of 13 mbwipd. On March 31, 2010 the cumulative volume of
seawater injected in the L5-29 was 3,717 mbbls. No change has been observed
in offset producer water-cuts, GOR or pressure response at this time.
Three pressure fall-off (PFO) tests have been conducted in the well, The PFO
analysis shows a constant pressure boundary, which is indicative of water
moving into the matrix in the gas cap. The well is connected to a limited fracture
as was shown by the PFO skin of between – 3.6 and -3.8. This skin value is
consistent with the mud losses during drilling and has remained constant through
all three surveys. The PFO’s have showed that the well and reservoir behavior is
consistent with expectations and as a result the injection rate has been increased
to the current value of 13 mb/d. Additional PFOs will be performed in the future
for monitoring and surveillance of the injection well’s behavior.
Offset well annuli pressures are reported monthly to the commission by the BP
North Slope Well Integrity Engineer via the Monthly Injection Report sent to
James Regg and Thomas Maunder.
Waterflooding Pilot Projects
A review of the Lisburne development plan identified water injection as a
mechanism to provide additional support in the Lisburne reservoirs. Pilot water
injection projects in the L3 and the L5 areas in the Wahoo formation are being
considered. Due to a judicial decision in the United States Court of Federal
Claims limiting Operator’s right to use existing surface facilities to access Alapah
wells NK-25 and NK-26, waterflood pilot studies on the Alapah reservoir have
been temporarily suspended. These projects are currently in the select and
appraise stages of the planning process.
Lisburne 2 ASR for Apr ’09 – Mar’10
Development Drilling
No development drilling activity for the next reporting period has been approved.
However, reservoir targets and parent well access points are being evaluated.
Support Facilities
Lisburne will continue to share North Slope infrastructure with the Point McIntyre
and Niakuk fields to minimize duplication of facilities. Four wells from the IPA
can produce to the LPC as part of the L2 Re-route Project: L2-03, L2-07, L2-11
and L2-13.
Production Allocation
The production of oil and gas, including those hydrocarbon liquids reported as
NGLs, will continue to be allocated to the Lisburne Participating Area in
accordance with conditions approved by the Alaska Department of Natural
Resources, Alaska Department of Revenue, and Alaska Oil and Gas
Conservation Commission. There is a test separator at each Lisburne Drill Site.
Gas Sales
The timing of Lisburne gas sales is dependent upon market demand and the
availability of a transportation system. Prior to initiation of gas sales, Lisburne
produced gas (other than gas extracted as NGLs and blended with crude oil for
shipment to market) will be used or consumed for Unit Operations, or injected
back into the Lisburne formation.

Niakuk Oil Pool
2010 Annual Reservoir Report
This Annual Reservoir Report has been prepared for submission to the Alaska
Oil and Gas Conservation Commission in accordance with Rule 9 of
Conservation Order No. 329 for the Niakuk Oil Pool, as detailed in Administrative
Approval No. 329.05, and pursuant to 20 AAC 25.517. This report summarizes
the period from April 1, 2009 through March 31, 2010.
a. Progress of Enhanced Recovery Project Implementation and Reservoir
Management Summary
The Niakuk waterflood was started in April 1995, in conjunction with the
commissioning of permanent facilities at Heald Point, using water from the
Initial Participating Area Seawater Treatment Plant. Produced water from the
LPC was used between August of 2000 and May 2004. Conversion to use
only seawater for injection was completed in September, 2004.
Seawater was used for injection throughout this reporting period.
All producing segments (1, 2, and 3/5) are receiving pressure support from
water injection. There are 6 active injectors in the Niakuk Pool with an average
total injection rate of approximately 28.8 mb/d. The current injection strategy is
to continuously monitor and adjust seawater injection based on current
production performance and voidage ratios.
Reservoir Management
Segment 1
NK-10 is the only injector in this segment and it supports four producers (NK-
07A, NK-27, NK-61A and L5-34). The producers in this segment appear to be
in good communication with the injector. Brightwater was injected into NK-10
in October 2008 to improve sweep and to date no response has been
observed. Production from the segment averaged 854 BOPD for the reporting
period with a watercut of about 88%. Water injection in NK-10 averaged
approximately 5.4 MBWPD for the period. Prior to waterflood startup in this
segment, reservoir pressures showed a consistent drop over time. Water
Niakuk Oil Pool Page 1 2010 Annual Reservoir Report
injection volumes replaced reservoir voidage through the end of 1997 and
since then over injection has increased reservoir pressure. The number of
production and injection wells at the start and end of the reporting period was
the same. Plans are to generally maintain voidage replacement and keep
reservoir pressure at the current level. No conversions of producers to
injectors are currently envisioned
Segment 3/5
At the beginning of the reporting period, there were four producers (NK-08A,
NK-09, NK-12C, and NK-29), three active injectors (NK-13, NK-15, and NK-
28), one inactive injectors (NK-17) and one suspended well, NK-14A. Well NK-
17 had injectivity problems and was converted to producer in Dec. 2000. The
conversion of NK-17 to production was not beneficial and the well has been
shut in since 1/30/2001. NK-13 was placed back on injection on July 08 after
flowline repairs were completed.
Water injection rate for the segment averaged approximately 11 MBWPD for
the reporting period. Production and pressure data suggests good
communication between injectors and producers. Oil production for the
segment averaged 1579 BOPD for the reporting year with a watercut of 81%.
Production from this segment began in February 1995 from NK-09 under
primary depletion. Reservoir pressure dropped approximately 500 psi during
this period but stabilized after water injection startup in May 1997. Plans are to
maintain voidage replacement and keep reservoir pressure at the current level.
NK-13 and NK-28 were converted to injection service on 4/3/02 and 8/13/01
respectively, to improve both sweep efficiency and voidage replacement.
Segment 2
Segment 2 contained 3 producers (NK-20A, NK-22A and NK-43) and 3
injectors (NK-16, NK-18, and NK-23) at the start of the reporting period. Like
all other segments in the field, the reservoir management strategy in this
segment is to replace the voidage created by hydrocarbon production with
water injection. Water injection was initiated in the high-permeability sands in
the upper portion of the reservoir in NK-23 in May 1995. NK-23 was converted
to an injector on 07/1995 and had remained on injection supporting majority of
Niakuk Oil Pool Page 2 2010 Annual Reservoir Report
the oil producers in the segment. In July 2007, tubing was replaced in NK-23
which improved the segment’s injection efficiency and overall oil production.
NK-42 was POP in July of 2008 to verify WC and any sweep benefits from
lower perfs added in offset injection well NK-23 in October of 2007. Oil rates of
250 BOPD have been seen during the reporting period. Injection was
increased in NK-18 to restore the area to original pressure during the reporting
period.
All producers in Segment 2 have exhibited waterflood response from one or
more injectors, but production, pressure, and tracer data clearly show the
effects of compartmentalization within the reservoir due to faulting and/or
stratigraphy. Average oil production from the segment was 1419 BOPD with
91% watercut and water injection of around 12 MBWPD during the reporting
period.
b. Voidage Balance of Produced and Injected Fluids
Table 1 details hydrocarbon production, water injection and resultant voidage
data by month for the reporting period.
c. Analysis of Reservoir Pressure Surveys Within the Pool
Pressure surveys have been conducted on all of the wells drilled. Table 2
shows results from the 2009/2010 reservoir pressure surveys.
The pressures in Seg 2 and Seg 1, 3, 5 are generally managed to original
reservoir pressure of approximately 4500 psi. Notable exceptions as seen in
Table 2 in Seg 2 are NK-16 at 3729 psi and NK-43 at 2946 psi NK-16 is shut-
in due to breakthrough in NK-21. Higher pressures are seen near most
injectors like NK-15 at 5043 psi vs offset producer NK-09 at 4649 psi indicating
the magnitude of the pressure gradient across the segment.
d. Results of Production Logging, Tracer and Well Surveys
Three injection logs and one production log were performed during the
reporting period. No tracer surveys were performed during this reporting
period. One surface pulse test was done during the reporting period.
e. Special Monitoring
Niakuk Oil Pool Page 3 2010 Annual Reservoir Report
NK-43 is a commingled producer which produces from both the Kuparuk and
Sag River Reservoirs. The AOGCC approved co-mingled production in NK-43
with production allocated to each reservoir via geo-chemical analysis in
Conservation Order 329B on December 7, 2006. During the reporting period,
two oil samples were taken from NK-43 for geochemical analysis to confirm
production allocation splits between the Sag River and Kuparuk Reservoirs.
The geochemical analysis showed that the Kuparuk (Combined Niakuk PA) is
contributing 81% of the oil production from NK-43.
f. Future Development Plans
Permanent production facilities at Niakuk were commissioned in March 1995.
There have been 29 development wells drilled into the Niakuk Oil Pool through
the reporting period. Future drilling prospects will be evaluated on a well-by-
well basis. Reservoir management activity in the Niakuk pool includes: 1)
selective perforating and profile modifications to isolate water bearing zones in
production wells and to open un-swept zones in injection wells, 2) production
profile logging to determine current production and injection zones for potential
profile modifications, material balance calculations, and effective full field
modeling, 3) pressure surveys to monitor flood performance and 4) analysis of
production, GOR, and WOR trends to highlight poorer performing wells for
possible intervention activity.

Pt. McIntyre Oil Pool
2010 Annual Reservoir Report
This Annual Reservoir Report for the period ending March 31, 2010 is being
submitted to the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission in accordance
with Conservation Order 317B for the Pt. McIntyre Oil Pool. This report
summarizes surveillance data and analysis and other information as required by
Rule 15 of Conservation Order 317B. It covers the period between April 1, 2009
and March 31, 2010.
A. Progress of Enhanced Recovery Project Implementation and Reservoir
Management Summary (Rule 15 a)
Enhanced Recovery Projects
During the 12 month period from April 2009 – March 2010, a total of 24.2 BCF of
MI (miscible injectant) was injected into P1-14 (0.7 BCF), P1-16 (3.4 BCF), P1-25
(2.3 BCF), P2-16 (4.5 BCF), P2-28 (2.2), P2-29 (0.1 BCF), P2-42 (6.2 BCF) and
P2-46 (4.9 BCF). Nine of the 15 waterflood/EOR patterns have had MI injection
to date.
Reservoir Management Summary
Production and injection volumes for the 12-month period ending March 31, 2009
are summarized in Table 1. Total Pt. McIntyre hydrocarbon liquid production (oil
plus NGL) averaged 23.7 mbopd. Current well locations are shown in Figure 1.
A total of 98 Pt. McIntyre wells (including P&A’d and sidetracked wells) have
been drilled as of March 31, 2010.
The dominant oil recovery mechanisms in the Pt. McIntyre field are waterflooding
and miscible gas injection in the down-structure area north of the Terrace Fault
and gravity drainage in the up-structure area referred to as the Gravity Drainage
(GD) Area (see Figure 1). Gas injection commenced in the gas cap with field
startup to replace voidage and promote gravity drainage. The waterflood was in
continuous operation during 2009 with 15 wells on water injection. Water and
gas injection was slightly higher than the offtake volume required for voidage
replacement during this 12-month reporting period.
Point McIntyre Oil Pool Page 1 2010 Annual Reservoir Report
B. Voidage Balance by Month of Produced and Injected Fluids (Rule 15 b)
Monthly production and injection surface volumes are summarized in Table 1. A
voidage balance of produced fluids and injected fluids for the report period is
shown in Table 2. As summarized in these analyses, monthly voidage is
routinely balanced with injection.
C. Analysis of Reservoir Pressure Surveys within the Pool (Rule 15 c)
Reservoir pressure monitoring is performed in accordance with Rule 12 of
Conservation Order 317B. A summary of reservoir pressure surveys obtained
during the reporting period is shown in Table 3.
D. Results and Analysis of Production & Injection Logging Surveys
(Rule 15 d)
Interpreted results of production and injection logs are reported in Tables 4 and
5. Surveys were obtained using conventional cased-hole production logging tools
including spinner, temperature, pressure, and fluid identification.

F. Future Development Plans and Review of Plan of Operations and
Development (Rule 15 f & g)
Production
Pt. McIntyre production is processed at the LPC and GC-1 Gathering Center
facilities; production is limited by both gas and water handling limits at the
facilities. Production from some areas of the field is also limited by injection well
capacity and reservoir management restrictions.
Development Drilling
The P2-31A well target is located approximately 1200 feet NW of the original P2-
31 location. The P2-31A well was side-tracked to this location. and the initial
tests produced oil at a high rate and with low water cut.
The P2-22A well targeted a possible field extension region outside the Pt.
McIntyre PA on the northern margin of the field. Combining seismic interpretation
Point McIntyre Oil Pool Page 2 2010 Annual Reservoir Report
from the Northstar 3D seismic survey (to the north) with the Pt McIntyre 3D
survey (to the south) suggested potential for structural closure of the field
extending outside the current PA limits. The P2-22 production had declined
significantly and was positioned in an ideal location to test the Northern limits of
the field. The P2-22A well was sidetracked north east of the parent and drilled
over 7600 feet of horizontal section with over 5500 feet outside the current PA.
Results demonstrate that the reservoir is capable of commercial flow rates.
Longer term production will be required to determine the need for future
development in this area.
There currently are a total of 26 well penetrations drilled from DS-PM1 including
sidetracked, P&A and suspended wells. There are a total of 72 well penetrations
drilled from DS-PM2. An additional water/MI injector (P1-25) is located at the
West Dock staging area.
Pipelines
Figure 2 shows the existing pipeline configuration together with the miscible
solvent distribution pipelines from LPC and CGF to the Pt. McIntyre drill sites.
Lisburne Production Center (LPC)
During the 12-month reporting period the LPC continued to provide produced
water for injection at Point McIntyre. Additional produced water is provided from
FS1 to LPC for injection at Pt. McIntyre.
The LPC also provides up to 45 mmscfd of miscible injectant when the EOR
compressor is on line.
Drill Sites
In March of 2004, the project to route some Pt. McIntyre production to GC-1 was
completed. All wells at drillsite PM2 can be flowed to either the LPC (high
pressure system) or over to GC-1 (low pressure system). This project has
lowered wellhead pressures for the PM2 wells flowing to GC-1 by approximately
400 psi and utilizes approximately 80 MB/D of available water handling capacity
at GC-1. PM1 wells are constrained to flow only to LPC.
Support Facilities
Pt. McIntyre will continue to share North Slope infrastructure with the Lisburne
Participating Area ("LPA") and the IPA to minimize duplication of facilities.
Point McIntyre Oil Pool Page 3 2010 Annual Reservoir Report
Production Allocation
The production of oil and gas, including those hydrocarbon liquids reported as
NGLs, will continue to be allocated to the Pt. McIntyre Participating Area in
accordance with conditions approved by the Alaska Department of Natural
Resources, Alaska Department of Revenue, and Alaska Oil and Gas
Conservation Commission. There is a test separator at Drill Site PM1 and two
test separators at Drill Site PM2.
Gas Sales
The timing of Pt. McIntyre gas sales is dependent upon market demands and the
availability of a transportation system. Prior to initiation of gas sales, Pt. McIntyre
produced gas (other than gas extracted as NGLs and blended with crude oil for
shipment to market) will be used or consumed for Unit Operations, or injected
into the Pt. McIntyre or another formation underlying the Unit Area.

Raven Oil Pool
2010 Annual Reservoir Report
This Reservoir Report has been prepared for submission to the Alaska Oil and Gas
Conservation Commission in accordance with Conservation Order 570 for the Raven Oil
Pool and pursuant to 20 AAC 25.517. This report summarizes surveillance data and
analysis and other information as required by Rule 10 of Conservation Order 570. It
covers the period from April 1, 2009 through March 31, 2010.
Raven is a small oil and gas field in the Permo-Triassic interval (Ivishak and Sag River)
located beneath the Niakuk field (Kuparuk reservoir). Two oil wells, NK-38A (Ivishak
producer) and NK-43 (commingled Kuparuk and Sag River producer), produce from the
Raven field. NK-65A is the only injector in the Raven field and it provides injection
support for the Ivishak producer, NK-38A.
Production from the Raven field started in March 2001 when the Sag River in NK-43
was produced from 03/11/01 to 05/05/01. The Sag River was subsequently isolated with
a cast iron bridge plug (CIBP) and the well was perforated in the uphole Kuparuk
reservoir and produced from this interval until 1/2/06 when the CIBP was removed and
the Sag River commingled with the Kuparuk. Production from NK-38A began in March
2005 from the Ivishak reservoir. Water injection in NK-65A to provide pressure support
in the Ivishak reservoir started in October 2005.
a. Progress of Enhanced Recovery Project Implementation and Reservoir
Management Summary
Using water from the Initial Participating Area Seawater Treatment facilities,
waterflood at Raven begun in October 2005. Thro ughout this reporting period,
seawater was used in NK-65A to provide injection support for the
Ivishak reservoir at an average rate of 6.2 mb/d.
Raven Oil Pool Page 1 20010 Annual Reservoir Report
Reservoir Management
Raven Pool
NK-65A is the only injector in the Raven field and it supports the Ivishak producer,
NK-38A. For the most part, the NK-38A producer in this pool appears to be in good
communication with the injector. Oil Production from the Raven pool averaged 1.0
mb/d for the reporting period. The general plan is to replace the voidage created by
hydrocarbon production with water injection and keep reservoir pressure at levels that
will optimize oil production. No conversions of producers and injectors are currently
envisioned.
b. Voidage Balance of Produced and Injected Fluids
Table 1 details the production, injection and calculated voidage by month for the
reporting period.
c. Analysis of Reservoir Pressure Surveys Within the Pool
Static pressure surveys have been conducted on the wells in the field. Table 2
shows results of static reservoir pressure surveys conducted on the wells since
March 2005. Figure 1 shows the pressure trends in the Raven Ivishak reservoir. The
most recent static reservoir pressure of 4,167 psi during the reporting period in
August 2009 indicates that with extensive shut-in periods, pressure will continue to
build. Thus while baffling exists between the injector and producer, pressure drop is
not as excessive as a typical static pressure would indicate.
d. Results of Production Logging, Tracer and Well Surveys
One production log was obtained in NK-38A performed during the reporting period.
Raven Oil Pool Page 2 20010 Annual Reservoir Report
e. Special Monitoring
NK-43 is a commingled producer which produces from both the Kuparuk and Sag
River Reservoirs. The AOGCC approved co-mingled production in NK-43 with
production allocated to each reservoir via geo-chemical analysis in Conservation
Order 329B on December 7, 2006. During the reporting period, two oil samples were
taken from NK-43 for geochemical analysis to confirm production allocation splits
between the Sag River and Kuparuk Reservoirs. The geochemical analysis showed
that the Sag (Raven PA) is contributing 23% of the oil production from NK-43.
f. Future Development Plans
No development wells were drilled in the Raven field during the reporting period.
Future drilling prospects will be evaluated on a well-by-well basis.
Reservoir management activity in the Raven pool includes: 1) imposing optimal
drawdown on the reservoir to prevent water coning from underlying aquifer and gas
coning from overlying gas cap 2) optimum injection rate selection to ensure excellent
sweep efficiency toward the producer, 3) frequent pressure surveys to monitor flood
performance and 4) analysis of production, GOR, and WOR trends to ensure timely
intervention activity whenever possible.
