Re: 2015 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 2015 "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 2015
gas storage operations.
The 51-5 gas storage reservoir was in active use for all of 2015 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 2015.
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, 2015 the estimated reservoir pressure in the 51-5 was approximately 1336
psig as estimated with a shut in tubing pressure taken on 12/22/2015. All production and
injection cycles performed in 2015 consistently match the historical P over Z trend
established by past performance of this reservoir. These data points are plotted with the
historical data and they conform to the overall curve as shown in the attached figure in
red squares.
Sincerely,
HILC RP ALASKA, LLC
