This report covers the period from April 1, 2015 through March 31, 2016. A. Reservoir Management 1. Summary Oil production and reservoir management activity in the Lisburne Oil Pool 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. Production and injection volumes for the 12-month period ending March 31, 2016 are summarized in Table 1. Oil production volumes include allocated crude oil, condensate and NGL production. 2. Reservoir Pressure Surveys W ithin the Pool A summary of reservoir pressure surveys obtained during the reporting period is shown in Table 2. 3. Results and Analysis of Production Logging Surveys There were two production logs obtained from Lisburne wells during the reporting period. Production logs for April 1, 2015 through March 31, 2016 are shown in Table 3. B. Development 1. Enhanced Recovery Projects a. L5 Gas Cap Water Injection Surveillance (C.O. 207A) 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, 2016, the cumulative Lisburne Oil Pool Page 2 ASR for Apr ’15 – Mar’16 volume of seawater injected in L5-29 was 22,072 mbbls. The L5-29 pilot injection to date has demonstrated positive results with 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 Commission by the BP North Slope Well Integrity Engineer via the Monthly Injection Report sent to the AOGCC. b. 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 grass roots injection well, 04-350, was completed on the southern periphery of the Wahoo Formation in November 2011 and has injected 3,476 mbbls of seawater as of March 31, 2016. Seawater production has been observed in offset L3-22 during the reporting period. 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, 2016 the cumulative volume of seawater injected in both these wells was 5,597 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 4,208 mbbls of seawater as of March 31, 201 6. Offset producer well pressure response and seawater production have been observed during the reporting period. 2. Well Activity: Drilling Rig Three wells: L1-23, L3-03 and L3-10, were drilled and completed into the Lisburne Formation during the reporting period. 3. Well Activity: Non-Rig Twenty six Lisburne wells had a total of thirty one rate-adding non-rig interventions performed during the reporting period. These rate-adding Lisburne Oil Pool Page 3 ASR for Apr ’15 – Mar’16 interventions included perforations, acid stimulations, hydraulic fracture stimulations, gas-lift work, profile modifications, tubing patches, casing repairs and surface component repairs. 4. Other Activity Work was completed in April 2015 that allowed for L5 production to be rerouted through the Niakuk commonline, returning the pad back to full service due to line wall loss in the L5 production export line. L1 crude heater repair work began in 2015 and is expected to be completed in 2016. Other various scheduled plant and pipeline repairs and modifications were completed to protect or enhance production. Support Facilities Lisburne shares 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, is 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 Commissi on. There is a test separator at each Lisburne Drill Site. 5. Future Development Plans (C.O. 207) Lisburne Pool oil is predominantly processed at the Lisburne Production Center which began permanent operation in December 1986. There are currently 83 development wells in the Lisburne Oil Pool. Future development plans are discussed in the 2015 Lisburne Plan of Development filed with the Division of Oil and Gas of the Alaska Department of Natural Resources, which the Commission received on June 30, 2015. T he Commission will be copied when the 2016 update of the Lisburne Plan of Development is filed with the Division.

This report summarizes the period from April 1, 2015 through March 31, 2016. A. Reservoir Management 1. Summary Oil production and reservoir management activity in the Niakuk Oil Pool continues under waterflood. Reservoir management activity in the Niakuk Oil Pool includes: 1) selective perforating and profile modifications 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, Gas Oil Ratio, and Water Oil Ratio trends to highlight poorer performing wells for possible intervention activity. Production and injection volumes and resultant voidage data by month for the 12-month period ending March 31, 2016 are summarized in Tables 1 and 2. 2. Reservoir Pressure Surveys Within the Pool A summary of reservoir pressure surveys obtained during the reporting period is shown in Table 3. 3. Results of Production Logging, Tracer and Well Surveys (C.O. 329A Rule 9d) No production logs were run during the reporting period. No tracer surveys were performed during this reporting period. B. Development 1. Enhanced Recovery Projects a. Progress of Niakuk Waterflood Project Implementation and Reservoir Management Summary (C.O. 329A Rule 9a) The Niakuk waterflood was started in April 1995, in conjunction with the commissioning of permanent facilities at Heald Point, using water from the Niakuk Oil Pool Page 2 ASR for Apr ’15 – Mar ‘16 Initial Participating Area Seawater Treatment Plant. Produced water from the Lisburne Production Center 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, 2/4, and 3/5) are receiving pressure support from water injection. There are 6 active injectors in the Niakuk Pool with an average total injection rate of approximately 25 mbd for the reporting period. The current injection strategy is to maintain balanced voidage replacement in each segment. b. Voidage Balance of Produced and Injected Fluids (C.O. 329A Rule 9b) 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 (C.O. 329A Rule 9c) Table 3 shows results from the 2015/2016 reservoir pressure surveys. The pressures in Segments 2/4, 1, and 3/ 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. 2. Special Monitoring: NK-43 Well (C.O. 329A Rule 9e) 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 geochemical 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 production allocation splits between the Sag River and Kuparuk reservoirs. This analysis shows that 100% of oil production in NK -43 is from the Kuparuk. 3. Well Activity: 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. Niakuk Oil Pool Page 3 ASR for Apr ’15 – Mar ‘16 During the reporting period NK-07A was repaired with a quick-connect liner latch system deployed without a rig to repair a casing leak. The packer leak on NK - 20A was repaired with a packer squeeze. An extended coil campaign was completed to mill scale on NK-08A, NK-09, NK-29, and L5-34. 4. Future Development Plans (C.O. 329A Rule 9f) Future development plans are discussed in the 2015 Niakuk Plan of Development filed with the Division of Oil and Gas of the Alaska Department of Natural Resources, which the commission received on June 30, 2015. The commission will be copied when the 2016 update of the Niakuk Plan of Development is filed with the Division.

McIntyre Oil Pool 2016 Annual Reservoir Surveillance Report This Annual Reservoir Report for the period ending March 31, 2016 is submitted to the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission for the Pt. McIntyre Oil Pool in accordance with Commission regulations and Conservation Order 317B. This report summarizes the period between April 1, 2015 and March 31, 2016. A. Reservoir Management 1. Summary Production and injection volumes for the 12-month period ending March 31, 2016 are summarized in Table 1. Total Pt. McIntyre hydrocarbon liquid production (oil plus NGL) averaged 15.4 mbd. Current well locations are shown in Figure 1. The dominant oil recovery mechanisms in the Pt. McIntyre Oil Pool 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 16 wells on water injection. 2. Progress of Enhanced Recovery Project Implementation and Reservoir Management Summary (Rule 15 a) During the 12 month period from April 2015 – March 2016, a total of 17.5 BCF of MI (miscible injectant) was injected into P2-16 (5.4 BCF), P2-28 (1.2 BCF), P2-29 (1.5 BCF), P2-42 (3.2 BCF), and P2-46 (6.2 BCF). Ten of the 15 waterflood EOR patterns have had MI injection to date. 3. Voidage Balance by Month of Produced and Injected Fluids (Rule 15 b) Monthly production and injection surface volumes are summarized in Table 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. 4. Analysis of Reservoir Pressure Surveys within the Pool (Rule 15 c) Point McIntyre Oil Pool Page 2 ASR for Apr ’15 – Mar ‘15 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. 5. Results and Analysis of Production & Injection Logging Surveys (Rule 15 d) There were two production logs and no injection log obtained from Pt McIntyre wells during the reporting period. Production and injection logs for April 1, 2015 thru March 31, 2016 are shown in Table 4. 6. Results of Any Special Monitoring (Rule 15 e) No special monitoring was performed during the reporting period. B. Development (Rule 15 f & g) 1. Well Activity: 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. During the reporting period, the scale management program continued for Pt Mac wells and included regular scale inhibition treatments. P1-14 was restored to injection with a rig work-over. 2. Other Activities a. Pipelines i. Figure 2 shows the existing pipeline configuration together with the miscible injectant distribution pipelines from LPC and CGF to the Pt. McIntyre drill sites. ii. Pt. McIntyre production is processed at the LPC, and between March of 2004 and November 2011 was also processed at the GC- 1 Gathering Center facilities via a 36” three phase line from PM2 to GC-1. PM1 wells can only flow to the LPC. During this period all wells at drillsite PM2 could be flowed to either the LPC (high pressure system) or to GC-1 (low pressure system). As a result of this connection, wellhead pressures were lowered for the PM2 wells flowing to GC-1 by approximately 400 psi and utilized 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. Production is currently Point McIntyre Oil Pool Page 3 ASR for Apr ’15 – Mar ‘15 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. Repair of the pipeline is underway. b. Produced Water 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. c. Support Facilities Pt. McIntyre will continue to share North Slope infrastructure with the Lisburne Participating Area ("LPA") and the Initial Participating Areas to minimize duplication of facilities. 3. Future Development Plans (C.O. 317B) Permanent production facilities at Pt. McIntyre were commissioned in 1993. There have been 97 development wells drilled into the Pt. McIntyre Oil Pool through the end of the reporting period. Future development plans are discussed in the 2015 Pt. McIntyre Plan of Development filed with the Division of Oil and Gas of the Alaska Department of Natural Resources, which the Commission received on June 30, 2015.

This report summarizes the period between April 1, 2015 and March 31, 2016. A. Reservoir Management 1. Summary 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 Oil Pool. 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. The NK-38A producer exhibits good communication with injector NK-65A. Oil Production from the Raven pool averaged 0.13 mbd for the reporting period. The reservoir management plan is to generally replace the voidage created by hydrocarbon production with water injection and keep reservoir pressure at levels that will optimize oil production. A time of decreased voidage replacement was utilized at the end of the reporting period to optimize production. No conversions of producers and injectors are currently planned. 2. 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 sinc e Raven Oil Pool Page 2 ASR for Apr ’15 – Mar ‘16 March 2005. The most recent static reservoir pressure of 3,386 psi, in NK-38A, was taken in July of 2015. 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. 3. Results of Production Logging, Tracer and Well Surveys No logs were indicated to be obtained in Raven during the reporting period. B. Development 1. 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, 2015 , seawater was used in NK -65A to prov ide injection support for the Ivishak reservoir at an average rate of 2 .8 mbd . Raven Oil Pool Page 3 ASR for Apr ’15 – Mar ‘16 2. Voidage Balance of Produced and Injected Fluids Tables 1 and 2 detail the production, injection and calculated voidage by month for the reporting period. 3. 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 sample was taken from NK-43 during the reporting period for geochemical analysis to confirm production allocation splits between the Sag River and Kuparuk reservoirs. Production allocation splits from the previous geochemical analysis were used for allocation. This analysis shows that 100% of oil production in NK-43 is from the Kuparuk. 4. Future Development Plans (C.O. 570) Permanent production facilities that Raven utilizes were commissioned in March 1995. There have been 3 development wells drilled into the Raven Oil Pool through the end of the reporting period. Future development plans are discussed in the 2015 Raven Plan of Development filed with the Division of Oil and Gas of the Alaska Department of Natural Resources, which the Commission received on June 30, 2015. The Commission will be copied when the 2016 update of the Raven Plan of Development is filed with the division.
