Well Date Extrapolated Pressure at -9700’ TVDss Datum (psia) Data Source 2-56A/EI01 6/30/2012 4370 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. 6 Eider Pressure Data 7 D) Results and Analysis of Production and Injection Log surveys, tracer surveys and observation well surveys No production, injection logging or tracer surveys were performed during 2012 on wells in the Eider Pool E) Review of pool production allocation factors and issues over the prior year The allocation factor for Eider well has been set at 1.0 when the wells are producing. F) Future Development Plans Annual pressure testing and reservoir characterization work on the Eider pool will continue. Upon identification of any potential targets, BPXA will evaluate wellwork and sidetrack opportunities in order to increase recovery from the Eider PA. The potential to redeploy the remaining Eider well to targets outside the Eider Participating Area may also be considered.
