This report covers the period January 1 through December 31, 2010. The report is organized according to the outline provided in Rule 12 of the conservation order. A shut-in well list addressing 20 AAC 25.115 has been included in the Endicott Oil Pool Reservoir Surveillance Report submitted in a separate filing. BP reserves the right to alter the content of the analyses contained in this report at any time based upon the most recent surveillance information obtained. Should you have any questions please contact John Garing (564-5167) or Sierra Becia (564- 5862). Emeka Emembolu cc Kevin Banks, DNR R. L.

Future Development Plans 2 A) Progress of Enhanced Recovery Project implementation and Reservoir Management summary BPXA drilled two wells into the Eider reservoir: 2-56A/EI 01 ("Elder 1 ") and 2- 30A/EI 02 ("Eider 2"). The Eider 2 well was shut in May 1999 at the end of the approved test period, and the Eider 1 well was shut in September 1999. BPXA converted the Eider 1 well to water injection in June 2000 after receiving the proper Endicott partner approval. Production from Eider 2 well recommenced in June 2000 with the start of water injection. Over the next couple of years, static bottomhole pressure ("SBHP") measurements were obtained in both Eider wells to determine the extent of pressure support. With SBHP's rising in the Eider 1 well and falling in the Eider 2 well, there was a clear indication that the producer / injector pair were not in pressure communication with one another. BPXA converted the Eider 1 well back to production in July 2004 and subsequently perforated shallower sands in both wells. The Eider 2 well was sidetracked (2-30B/ME-01) in 2009 to the Minke target, a Sag River/Ivishak formation satellite prospect. Producer 2-56A/E101 was brought online once in 2009 to conduct a well test which indicated that the production characteristics of the well had not changed. (1 bopd, watercut — 100%). Since this well test, the well has been shut-in due to uncompetitive water cut. There were 0 days of production from the Ivishak formation for the time period of January 2010 through December 2010. Cumulative production through December 2010 was 2.75 mmstb oil, 26.52 bscf gas, and 5.52 mmstb water. There was no injection into the Ivishak formation for the time period of January 2010 through December 2010. Cumulative injection through December 2010 was 4.33 mmstb water. All produced fluids have been processed through the Endicott facility as stipulated under conditions within the Endicott Facility Sharing Agreement. Produced gas, other than that used for fuel, has been re -injected into the Endicott reservoir gas cap. 3 C) Analysis of reservoir pressure surveys within the pool One pressure survey was completed in September 2010 in 2-56A/E101. Pressure data since startup are graphically represented in the next figure that is a plot of pressure versus time. These data indicate pressures have not changed significantly in the past year. 5 Extrapolated Pressure at -9700 TVDss Datum, Well Date psia Data Source 2-56A/E101 9/10/10 4452 SBHP Pressure data since startup are graphically represented in the next figure that is a plot of pressure versus time. These data indicate pressures have not changed significantly in the past year. 5 B) Voidage Balance by Month of Produced Fluids and Injected Fluids and Cumulative status Elder CUMULATIVE VOIDAGE JInjecdon-production) -CumVWdap.(mmrvb) VS Ti..

F) Future Development Plans Reservoir characterization work on the Eider reservoir will continue. Upon identification of any potential targets, BPXA will evaluate sidetracking existing wells in order to increase recovery from the Eider reservoir. The potential to redeploy the remaining Eider well to targets outside the Eider Participating Area will also be considered. 7
