2014 Annual Reservoir Surveillance Report
This Annual Reservoir Report for the period ending March 31, 2014 is submitted
to the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission in accordance with 20 AAC
25.517. It covers the period between April 1, 2013 and March 31, 2014.
Reservoir Management Summary
Production and injection volumes for the 12 -month period ending March 31, 2014
are summarized in Table 1. Oil production volumes include allocated crude oil,
condensate and NGL production. Current well locations are shown in Figure 1.
Oil recovery from the Lisburne reservoir continues under gas cap expansion
supported by gas injection at LGI pad and water injection at L5-29. In the Central
area, pressure support is supplemented by weak aquifer influx.
Pilot seawater injection projects have been on-going in the central Alapah (NK-
25), the southern periphery Wahoo (04-350) and the mid-field Wahoo (L5-13 &
L5-15) areas.
Reservoir Pressure Surveys within the Pool
A summary of reservoir pressure surveys obtained during the reporting period is
shown in Table 2.
Results and Analysis of Production Logging Surveys
There was one production log obtained from Lisburne wells during the reporting
period, L4-31. Neutron logs for April 1, 2013 thru March 31, 2014 are shown in
Table 3

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 mbd, and over time has been gradually increased to
approximately 17 mbd. As of March 31, 2014 the cumulative volume of seawater
injected in L5-29 was 16,835 mbbls. The L5-29 pilot injection to date has
demonstrated positive results with confirmed/likely injection water breakthrough
occurring in three offset producer wells (L5-28, L5-33 & L5-36). Pressure
response has also been observed in offset wells.
Three pressure fall-off (PFO) tests have been conducted in the L5-29 gas cap
water injection well. The PFO analyses show a constant pressure boundary, and
skin values of between -3.6 and -3.8. Based on these results, it is inferred that no
fracture extension is occurring.
Offset well annuli pressures are reported monthly to the commis sion by the BP
North Slope Well Integrity Engineer via the Monthly Injection Report sent to the
AOGCC.
Waterflooding Pilot Projects
A review of the Lisburne development plan identified water injection as a
mechanism to provide additional pressure support in the Lisburne reservoirs. A
new grass roots injection well, 04-350, was completed on the southern periphery
of the Wahoo formation in November 2011 and has injected 1,271 mbbls of
seawater as of March 31, 2014. No breakthrough has been observed in the
offset producers and pressure monitoring continues.
Another pilot water injection project has been undertaken in the mid-field area.
Wahoo production wells L5-15 and L5-13 were converted to seawater injection
service in March 2013. As of March 31, 2014 the cumulative volume of seawater
injected in both these wells was 1,045 mbbls. No confirmed offset producer well
response has been observed to date.
In addition, a pilot water injection project into the Alapah formation has been
initiated from the Niakuk Heald Point pad. Alapah producer NK-25 was
converted to seawater injection service in March 2013 and has injected 692
mbbls of seawater as of March 31, 2014. Off set producer well pressure
response has been observed but no confirmed water breakthroug h has occurred
during the reporting period.
Lisburne Oil Pool Page 3 ASR for Apr ’13 – Mar’14
Development Drilling
No wells were drilled & completed into the Lisburne formation during the
reporting period.
Support Facilities
Lisburne will continue to share North Slope infrastructure with the Point McIntyre
and Niakuk fields. Six wells from the IPA can produce to the LPC as part of the
L2 Re-route Project: L2-03A, L2-07A, L2-08A, L2-11A, L2-13A and L2-18A.
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
2014 Annual Reservoir Surveillance 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 Nia kuk 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, 2013 through March 31, 2014.
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
seawater injection was completed in September, 2004 , and
s eawater injection continues throughout this reporting period.
All producing segments (1, 2, and 3/5) are receiving pressure support f rom
water injection. There are 4 active injectors in the Niakuk Pool with an average
total injection rate of approximately 24 mbd for the reporting period. The
current injection strategy is to maintain balanced voidage replacement in each
segment.
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 564 BOPD for the reporting
period with a watercut of about 88%. Water injection in NK-10 averaged
approximately 5.0 mbd for the period. Water injection volumes replaced
reservoir voidage through the end of 1997 and since then over injection has
increased reservoir pressure. The number of injectors at the start and end of
the producing period remained the same, whereas the number of producing
wells dropped by one. Producer NK-07A is shut-in for Tubing by Inner Annulus
(T x IA) integrity, and producer NK-61A is shut-in for watercut. Plans are to
maintain voidage replacement and keep reservoir pressure at the current
level. No conversions of producers to injectors are currently planned.
Niakuk Oil Pool Page 2 ASR for Apr ’13 – Mar ‘14
Segment 3/5
At the beginning of the reporting period, there were three active producers
(NK-08A, NK-09. and NK-29), two active injectors (NK-13 and NK-28), one
inactive injector (NK-17), one abandoned well (NK-14A), and one suspended
well (NK-11A) in the Segment 3/5 area. The producer NK-12C has been
repaired, and will be BOL once the IBP is pulled from the well. Injector NK-15
is shut-in for T x IA communication, and diagnostic wellwork is under
evaluation. Injector NK-28 will be patched to fix a very small leak. It will then
be POI.
Water injection rate for the segment averaged 5.8 mbd for the reporting
period. Production and pressure data suggests good communication between
injectors and producers. Oil production for the segment averaged 556 BOPD
for the reporting period with an average watercut of 91%.
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 and increased back to original pressure 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 5 active producers (NK-20A, NK-21, NK-22A, NK-42
and NK-43), 2 shut-in producers (NK-19A and NK-62A), 2 active injectors (NK-
18, and NK-23), and one inactive injector (NK-16) at the start of the reporting
period. Injector NK-16 is shut-in for breakthrough and to optimize recovery in
the lower zones in NK-21. The wellwork to surge NK-19A’s perfs was
unsuccessful. The plan forward on this well is under conside ration. NK-62A is
shut-in for watercut. NK-21 and NK-43 are shut-in for watercut due to water
handling pump going down at the LPC. Injector NK-18 has recently been
shut-in so as not to over-pressurize NK-21’s area.
Niakuk Oil Pool Page 3 ASR for Apr ’13 – Mar ‘14
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. NK-23 was converted to an injector in July of 1995 and had
remained on injection supporting the majority of 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. Over injection
continued during the reporting period in NK-18 to attempt to restore the area
to original pressure.
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 r eservoir due to faulting and/or
stratigraphy. Average oil production from the segment was 1192 BOPD with
93% watercut. Water injection in Segment 2 averaged 13.5 mbd during the
reporting period.
b. Voidage Balance of Produced and Injected Fluids
Tables 1 and 2 detail hydrocarbon production, water injection and resultant
voidage data by month for the reporting period.
c. Analysis of Reservoir Pressure Surveys Within the Pool
Table 3 shows results from the 2013/2014 reservoir pressure surveys.
The pressures in Segment 2 and Segments 1, 3, and 5 are generally
managed with the original reservoir pressure of approximately 4500 psi as a
target/maximum, and the bubble point pressure of 4200 psi as a minimum .
The notable exception is L5-34, which has come in at this lower bottomhole
pressure for the last decade.
d. Results of Production Logging, Tracer and Well Surveys
No production logs were run in this section during the reporting period. No
tracer surveys were performed during this reporting period. Surface pressure
falloffs were done on NK-10, NK-13, and NK-23 during the reporting period to
monitor reservoir pressure.
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. An oil sample was taken
from NK-43 during the reporting period, for geochemical analysis to confirm
Niakuk Oil Pool Page 4 ASR for Apr ’13 – Mar ‘14
production allocation splits between the Sag River and Kuparuk Rese rvoirs.
The geochemical analysis indicated that the Kuparuk (Combined Niakuk PA)
is contributing 100% of the oil production from NK-43, consistent with the
increase in water production.
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 end of the reporting period. Reservoir management activity in the Niakuk
pool includes: 1) selective perforating and profile modification s to manage
conformance of the waterflood, 2) production and injection 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.

2014 Annual Reservoir Surveillance Report
This Reservoir Report has been prepared for submission to the Alaska Oil and Gas
Conservation Commission (“AOGCC”) 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, 2013 through March 31,
2014.
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 with the completion of the Sag
River in NK-43. The Sag River NK-43 was subsequently isolated with a cast iron bridge
plug (CIBP), and the well was perforated in the Kuparuk reservoir and produced 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, providing pressure support in the Ivishak reservoir, started in
October 2005.
a. Progress of Enhanced Recovery Project Implementation and Reservoir
Management Summary
W aterflood at Raven began in October 2005, using water from the Initial Participating
Area Seawater Treatment facilities. From the beginning of the reporting
period until March 31 st, 2014 , seawater was used in NK -65A to provide
injection support for the Ivishak reservoir at an average rate of 5.0 mbd .
Raven Oil Pool Page 2 ASR for Apr ‟12 – Mar „13
Reservoir Management
Raven Pool
NK-65A is the only injector in the Raven field and it supports the Ivishak producer,
NK-38A. The NK-38A producer exhibits good communication with the injector. Oil
Production from the Raven pool averaged 0.3 mbd for the reporting period. The
reservoir management plan is to replace the voidage created by hydrocarbon
production with water injection and keep reservoir pressure at levels that will optimize
oil production. Periods of increased offtake and high voidage replacement have been
utilized over the reporting period to optimize production. No conversions of
producers and injectors are currently planned.
b. Voidage Balance of Produced and Injected Fluids
Tables 1 and 2 detail 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 3
shows results of static reservoir pressure surveys conducted on the wells since
March 2005. The most recent static reservoir pressure of 3,549 psi, in NK38A, was
taken in December of 2013, and indicates a reservoir pressure similar to earlier years
when the well has shorter shut-in periods. It has been shown that with extensive
shut-in periods, pressure will continue to build in NK-38A. It is inferred from this
response that baffling exists between the injector and producer.
d. Results of Production Logging, Tracer and Well Surveys
No logs were obtained in Raven during the reporting period.
Raven Oil Pool Page 3 ASR for Apr ‟12 – Mar „13
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. One oil samples was taken from NK-43during the
reporting period, 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 0% of the oil production from NK-43,
consistent with the increase seen in water production .
f. Future Development Plans
No development wells were drilled in the Raven field during the reporting period.
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 sweep
efficiency toward the producer, 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
2014 Annual Reservoir Surveillance Report
This Annual Reservoir Report for the period ending March 31, 2014 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, 2013
and March 31, 2014.
A. Progress of Enhanced Recovery Project Implementation and Reservoir
Management Summary (Rule 15 a)
Enhanced Recovery Projects
During the 12 month period from April 2013 – March 2014, a total of 11.6 BCF of
MI (miscible injectant) was injected into P1-16 (3.9 BCF), P1-25 (2. 2 BCF), P2-
09 (0.04 BCF), P2-16 (4.1 BCF), and P2-46 (4.5 BCF). Ten 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, 2014
are summarized in Table 1. Total Pt. McIntyre hydrocarbon liquid production (oil
plus NGL) averaged 18.6 mbd. Current well locations are shown in Figure 1.
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. Gas injection commenced in the gas cap with field startup to replace
voidage and promote gravity drainage. The waterflood was in continuous
operation during the reporting period with 15 wells on water injection.

B. Voidage Balance by Month of Produced and Injected Fluids (Rule 15 b)
Monthly production and injection surface volumes are summarized in Tabl e 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
targeted to be 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.
E. Results of Any Special Monitoring (Rule 15 e)
No special monitoring was performed during the reporting period.
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 until November 12th 2011
was also processed at the GC-1 Gathering Center facilities. Currently the 36”
three phase line connecting PM2 with GC-1 is shut-in due to the integrity status
of the line and production is limited by both gas and water handling limits at the
LPC facilities. Production from some areas of the field is also limited by injection
well capacity and reservoir management constraints.
Development Drilling
No development drilling was performed du ring the reporting period. 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 76 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
injectant 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 could be flowed to either the LPC (high
pressure system) or to GC-1 (low pressure system). PM1 wells can only flow to
the LPC. This project lowered wellhead pressures for the PM2 wells flowing to
GC-1 by approximately 400 psi and utilize d approximately 80 MB/D of available
water handling capacity at GC-1. On November 12th 2011 the 36” line from PM2
to GC-1 was shut-in due to the integrity status of the line. Inspection and
potential repair of the pipeline are being evaluated.
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.
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.
Point McIntyre Oil Pool Page 4 ASR for Apr ’12 – Mar ‘13
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.
