Progress  of  the  Enhanced  Recovery  Project  and  Reservoir  Management  Summary     Production  was  from  7  wells  with  gas  injection  into  one  well.    Static  pressure  survey   were  obtained  from  wells  B1-­‐11A,  B1-­‐16,  B1-­‐18A  and  B1-­‐38.    Table  4  contains  a   summary  of  the  static  reservoir  pressure  readings  acquired  in  2013.     The  total  volume  of  oil  produced  from  the  Badami  reservoir  during  the  report  period   was  453,980  stbo.    A  total  of  392,333  mscf  of  gas  was  produced  of  which  3,051  mscf  was   injected  back  into  the  producing  formation.    No  new  wells  were  drilled  and  completed   during  the  reporting  period.    Well  disposition  is  detailed  in  Table  1.     The  oil  production  and  gas  disposition  history  of  the  field  is  shown  in  Figures  1  and  2.     B. Voidage  Balance     Production  and  injection  volumes  and  reservoir  voidage  by  month  are  detailed  in  tables   2  and  3.    Cumulative  voidage  for  2013  was  negative  662,029  reservoir  barrels.     C. Reservoir  Pressure  Monitoring     Four  static  pressure  surveys  were  taken  at  Badami  during  the  report  period  and  are   listed  in  Table  4.    These  surveys  show  that  the  pressures  in  the  individual  lobes  of  the   reservoir  continue  to  deplete  over  time  consistent  with  the  depletion  drive  recovery   method  employed  in  the  field.     D. Production  Logging     No  production  logging  was  conducted  during  the  report  period.     E. Special  Monitoring     A  no  flow  test  was  conducted  on  well  B1-­‐16  during  the  report  period.     F. Evaluation  of  Well  Testing  and  Allocation     Table  6  is  a  summary  of  well  testing  frequency  for  each  of  the  Badami  wells.        4   Daily  oil  production  allocation  to  each  well  is  accomplished  by  pro-­‐rating  the  oil  rates   from  the  most  recent  well  test  such  that  the  total  oil  produced  from  all  wells  equals  the   amount  measured  by  the  custody  transfer  pipeline  meter.     G. Future  Development  Plans     On  November  16,  2012,  Savant  Alaska  LLC  (“SALLC”),  as  Unit  Operator,  submitted  and   application  to  expand  the  Badami  Unit  to  provide  for  the  orderly  drilling  of  an   exploration  test  well.    Pending  the  outcome  of  the  application,  additional  exploration   drilling  may  have  taken  place  in  2013.    On  March  15,  2013,  the  DNR  approved  in  part   and  denied  in  part  the  Badami  Expansion  application.    This  decision  was  appealed  be   SALLC  on  April  3,  2013  and  a  subsequent  Request  for  Stay  of  the  activities  proposed   under  the  plan  of  exploration  for  the  unit  expansion  was  submitted  to  DNR  on  August   19,  2013.    To  date,  DNR  has  not  responded  to  the  appeal  or  the  request  for  stay,   therefore,  no  additional  exploration  drilling  has  taken  place  with  respect  the  proposed   unit  expansion.     Monitoring  of  well  integrity  and  surveillance  activity  on  the  Class  I  disposal  well,  B1-­‐01,   will  continue  pursuant  to  statutory  requirement.         Reservoir  pressure  data  will  be  acquired  during  2014  to  monitor  Badami  reservoir   depletion.     H. Review  of  Plan  of  Development  of  Operations  and  Development     The  10th  Plan  of  Development  for  the  Badami  Unit  (POD)  was  approved  by  the   Department  of  Natural  Resources  on  July  15,  2013.    The  POD  expires  on  Nov.  15,  2014.         In  accordance  with  the  POD,  Savant  Alaska  relinquished  6,377  acres  from  the  Badami   Unit  and  performed  a  propellant  fracture  treatment  in  well  B1-­‐38.  This  stimulation   method  was  selected  as  an  alternative  to  a  traditional  hydraulic  fracture  treatment   Modeling  suggested  that  fractures  could  be  induced  up  to  3  feet  into  near-­‐wellbore   formation.  This  was  thought  to  be  sufficient  to  reach  past  any  drilling  induced  skin  and   to  break  down  any  plugged  perforations.    Three  2.50”  StimTube™  bodies  were   sequentially  run  down  hole  to  stimulate  the  perforated  interval  from  14,438’-­‐14,508’   MD  by  firing  a  stimulation  pulse  over  three  separate  10  foot  intervals.  Although  all  3   stimulation  guns  fired,  no  beneficial  production  response  was  observed  from  the  well,   therefore,  SALLC  did  not  elect  to  perform  the  same  treatment  in  well  B1-­‐18A  as   originally  contemplated  in  the  10th  POD.         The  B1-­‐28  well  was  restored  to  production  after  a  leaking  gas  lift  mandrel  was  repaired.     SALLC  must  present  the  proposed  11th  POD  to  the  DNR  for  their  review  on  or  before   August  17,  2014.      5   I.

This was done to address the fact there are different types of oil in the reservoir with different GOR. (2)Volumes of produced water are reported here although they are not reported in other production allocations and injection reporting due to not being of significant volume. Volumes here are based on tank levels when the water was pumped into the disposal well and are not the actual water production for any given month.    9   Table  3  Badami  Production/Injection  –  Reservoir  Units               BADAMI PRODUCTION / INJECTION - RESERVOIR UNITS 2013 PRODUCTION Jan Feb Mar April May June July Aug Sept Oct Nov Dec 2013 Total Oil (rb)51,454 42,212 49,657 47,966 49,150 50,033 54,011 50,083 48,244 49,773 48,346 49,244 590,174 Free Gas (rb)-69 1,172 1,008 -3,196 -297 3,069 10,222 449 13,223 11,511 15,869 20,672 73,633 Water (rb)0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 All Fluids (rb)51,385 43,385 50,665 44,770 48,853 53,102 64,233 50,532 61,467 61,284 64,215 69,916 663,807 2013 INJECTION Water (rb)0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Gas (rb)124 44 26 9 1,060 19 16 419 2 59 0 0 1,779 All Fluids (rb)124 44 26 9 1,060 19 16 419 2 59 0 0 1,779 Voidage (rb)-51,262 -43,340 -50,639 -44,760 -47,793 -53,084 -64,217 -50,113 -61,465 -61,224 -64,215 -69,916 -662,029 Oil Formation Volume Factor, Bo 1.300 rb/stb Gas Formation Volume Factor, Bg 0.000583 rb/scf 0.003276 vol/vol Water Formation Volume Factor, Bw 1.0101 rb/stb Notes: (1) Bo from Average of Badami #1 and Badami #5 (lower sand) PVT analysis.

A  fail-­‐safe  automatic  surface  safety  valve  (SSV)  system  capable  of  preventing  uncontrolled   flow  must    be  maintained  in  proper  working  condition  in  this  well  as  required  by  20  AAC   25.265.   2. The  subsurface  safety  valve  must  be  installed  if  Badami  B1-­‐16  demonstrates  an    ability  to   flow  unassisted  to  surface  at  some  point  in  the  future,  and   3. Any  fill  cleanout  or  stimulation  work  in  this  well  that  could  change  the  production   characteristics    of  the  well  will  necessitate  a  subsequent  no  flow  test.     Given  the  successful  no-­‐flow  test,  Inspector  Scheve  granted  Savant  verbal  approval  to  place  well   B1-­‐16  back  on  production  before  leaving  location.        12   Table  6  Badami  Well  Testing  Frequency  Summary     Number  of  well  tests  in  each  calendar  year.     Well 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 B1-11A 11 0 20 84 33 0 0 0 89 36 32 B1-15 3 0 15 43 0 0 0 4 35 13 25 B1-16 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 28 39 B1-18 1 0 18 64 19 0 0 0 0 0 0 B1-18A N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A 12 118 33 34 B1-21 0 0 22 35 18 0 0 1 4 22 11 B1-25 8 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 B1-28 9 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3 33 B1-36 7 0 25 90 36 0 0 20 145 45 43 B1-38 N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A 22 102 49 34          13   Figure  1  Badami  Field  Production  History                14     Figure  1  Badami  Gas  Disposition  History
