Re: 2014 Annual Material Balance Calculations of Production and Iniection
Volumes
Pretty Creek Gas Storage Facility
Pretty Creek Unit #4
Dear Commissioner Foerster:
Attached for your review is the 2014 "Annual Performance Report" for the Pretty Creek
Gas Storage Facility (PCU #4), as required per AOGCC Storage Injection Order #4 (SIO
#4). This material balance report covers the primary production period through the 2014
gas storage operations.
The 51-5 gas storage reservoir was in active use for all of 2014 and was an important
component of total gas deliverability for the Cook Inlet. There is one active well that is
used for injection and production — Pretty Creek Unit #4 (aka PCU #4). Attached find
monthly injection and production data for 2014.
Hilcorp has performed material balance calculations on the 51-5 reservoir to provide
assurance of continued reservoir confinement of the gas storage volumes. Supporting
data is attached in numerical and graphical form for the convenience of the reader. As of
December 31, 2014 the estimated reservoir pressure in the 51-5 was approximately 1490
psig as estimated a shut in tubing pressure taken that day. One injection and one
production cycle were chosen to ensure the P over Z trend established by past production
remains continuous. These data points are plotted with the historical data and they
conform to the overall curve. Also note that the reservoir pressure remained constant
between May and August when the gas storage was not in use, proving that the gas
remains contained within the storage reservoir.
Sincerely,
HILCORP ALASKA, LLC
Jeremy Mardambek
Reservoir Engineer
