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.

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.
