Lisburne Oil Pool
2018 Annual Reservoir Surveillance Report
This Annual Reservoir Report for the period ending March 31, 2018 is submitted
to the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission for the Lisburne Oil Pool in
accordance with commission regulations and Conservation Order 207A. This
report covers the period from April 1, 2017 through March 31, 2018.
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 (1-5-15) area.
Production and injection volumes for the 12 -month period ending March 31,
2018 are summarized in Table 1. Oil production volumes include allocated
crude oil, condensate and NGL production.
2. Reservoir Pressure Surveys Within 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 three production logs obtained from Lisburne wells during the
reporting period. Production logs for April 1, 2017 through March 31, 2018
are shown in Table 3.
B. Development and Production Activity
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, 2018, the cumulative
Lisburne Oil Pool Page 1 ASR for Apr '17 — Mar' 18
volume of seawater injected in L5-29 was 22,207 mbbls. The L5-29 pilot
injection demonstrated positive results with likely injection water
breakthrough occurring in four offset producer wells (L5 -28A, L5-32, L5-33
& L5-36). Pressure response has also been observed in offset wells. The
GCWI Pilot was approved for permanent injection under AOGCC
Conservation Order 207B.16. The injector was on-line for a short time (11
days) during the reporting period.
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 5,573 mbbls of seawater as of March 31, 2018. Seawater
production has been observed in offset L3-22.
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, 2018 the
cumulative volume of seawater injected in both these wells 'was 7,776
mbbls. Confirmed seawater production has occurred in offset L5 -16A.
L5-13 developed integrity issues at the beginning of the reporting period
and has since been plugged and abandoned.
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 5,915 mbbls of seawater as of March 31, 2018. Offset producer
well pressure response and seawater production have been observed.
2. Well Activity: Drilling Rig
New well L3-25 was drilled and completed into the Lisburne Formation during
the reporting period. Sidetrack well NK -26A was drilled into the Lisburne
Formation during the reporting period and was in the process of being
completed at the end of the reporting period.
Lisburne Oil Pool ASR for Apr '17 Mar'! 8
3. Well Activity; Nan-Riq
Twenty five Lisburne wells had a total of thirty rate -adding non -rig
interventions performed during the reporting period. These rate -adding
interventions included perforations, hydrate & paraffin removal, acid
stimulations, gas -lift work, profile modifications, fill cleanouts, well integrity
repairs and surface component repairs.
4. Other Activity
Various scheduled minor plant and pipeline repairs and modifications were
completed to protect or enhance production from the Lisburne during the
reporting period.
Support Facilities
Lisburne shares North Slope infrastructure with the Point McIntyre and Niakuk
Fields. Eight wells from the IPA can produce to the LPC as part of the L2 Re-
route Project: L2 -03A, L2 -07A, L2 -08A, 1-2-11, L2 -13A, L2 -18A, L2 -21B and L2 -
29A.
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 Commission.
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 78 development wells in the Lisburne Oil Pool. Future development
plans are discussed in the 2017 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 20, 2017. The Commission will be
copied when the 2018 update of the Lisburne Plan of Development is filed
with the Division.

Niakuk Oil Pool
2018 Annual Reservoir Surveillance Report
This Annual Reservoir Surveillance Report is submitted to the Alaska Oil and
Gas Conservation Commission for the Niakuk Oil Pool in accordance with
commission regulations and Conservation Order No. 329A. This report covers
the period from April 1, 2017 through March 31, 2018.
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, 2018 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 and Production Activity
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 ASP for Apr '17 — Mar `18
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 seawater injection continues throughout this reporting period.
All producing segments (1, 2/4, and 3/5) are receiving pressure support
from water injection. There are 3 active injectors in the Niakuk Pool with
an average total injection rate of approximately 16,000 bwpd for the
reporting period. There are two injectors currently down (NK -23 and NK -
28). NK -23 is expected to be back on injection 2-3Q 2018. NK -28 has well
integrity issues. The current injection strategy is to maintain balanced
voidage replacement in each segment, however current voidage is slightly
less than 1.0. The producer to injector interactions are being evaluated
with decreased injection to monitor production impacts in order to better
evaluate depletion options.
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 2016/2017 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.Q. 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 3298 on December 7, 2006. Two oil samples were taken
from NK -43 during the reporting period (5/17 and 10/17) for geochemical
analysis to confirm production allocation splits between the Sag River and
Kuparuk reservoirs. The analyses showed that -95% of oil production in NK -
43 is from the Kuparuk.
Niakuk Oil Pool Page 2 ASR for Apr ' 17 — Mar `18
I 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.
During the reporting period, the Niakuk field focused on optimization of
producers and scale management and performed numerous inhibition
treatments. NK -27 had a repair job following a leak detect log that allowed for
returned production .
4. Future Development Plans (C.O. 329A Rule 9
Future development plans are discussed in the 2016 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 20, 2017. The
commission will be copied when the 2018 update of the Niakuk Plan of
Development is filed with the Division.
5. Review of Pool Production Allocation Factors (per Administrative Approval
Docket Number: CO -15_013 Done January 7, 2016)
LPC monthly average oil allocation factors are supplied below. The Niakuk Oil
Pool and Raven Oil Pool will have the same allocation factors as LPC. Any dates

Pt. McIntyre Oil Pool
2018 Annual Reservoir Surveillance Report
This Annual Reservoir Report for the period ending March 31, 2018 is submitted
to the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission for the Pt. McIntyre Oil Pool
in accordance with Commission regulations and Conservation Order 31713. This
report covers the period between April 1, 2017 and March 31, 2018.
A. Reservoir Management
1. Summary
Production and injection volumes for the 12 -month period ending March
31, 2018 are summarized in Table 1. Total Pt. McIntyre hydrocarbon liquid
production (oil plus NGL) averaged 14.9 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 14 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 2017 — March 2018, a total of 22.4
BCF of MI (miscible injectant) was injected into: P1-16 (5.2 BCF), P2-09
(0.29 BCF), P2 -15A (5.7 BCF), P2-28 (0.5 BCF), P2-29 (0.63 BCF), P2-34
(0.05 BCF), P2-42 (0.59 BCF), P2-46 (6.2 BCF) and P2-47 (3.2 BCF).
Thirteen of the fifteen waterflood patterns have had MI injection to date,
although P2 -34's is very small due to well operability issues.
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. Negative net
reservoir voidage values in Table 2 indicate Injection Withdrawal Ratios
greater than 1.

4. 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.
5. Results and Analysis of Production & Injection Logging Surveys
(Rule 15 d)
There was one production log and no injection logs obtained from Pt
McIntyre wells during the reporting period. Production and injection logs
for April 1, 2017 thru March 31, 2018 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 and Production Activity
1. Well Activity:
There 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. P2-47 began its
first MI bulb in September, 2017.
2. Other Activities
a. 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.
ii. Pt. McIntyre production is processed at LPC and GC -1. PM1 wells
can only flow to the LPC. Between March of 2004 and November
2011 all wells at drillsite PM2 could be flowed to either the LPC
(high pressure system) or to GC -1 (low pressure system) via a 36"
three phase line from PM2 to GC -1. 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
Point McIntyre Oil Pool Page 2 ASR for Apr ' 17 — Mar `18
2011, the 36" line from PM2 to GC -1 was shut-in due to the integrity
status of the line. Repair of the pipeline was completed October
2016, and all PM2 production now flows to GC -1, no production
from PM2 flows to LPC. With reduced backpressure, increased
water and gas handling capacity at GC1, and optimization of the
well sorts, production from PM2 has been increased.
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 (rule 15 f)
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 2018 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 20, 2017. The Commission will be copied
when the 2018 update of the Pt. McIntyre Plan of Development is filed with
the division.

Raven Oil Pool
2018 Annual Reservoir Surveillance Report
This Annual Reservoir Report for the period ending March 31, 2018 is submitted to the
Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission for the Raven Oil Pool in accordance
with Commission regulations and Conservation Order 570. This report covers the
period between April 1, 2017 and March 31, 2018.
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). In 2015, there were two
oil wells, NK -38A (Ivishak producer) and NK -43 (commingled Kuparuk and Sag
River producer), producing from the Raven Oil Pool. In August 2016, NK -38A was
sidetracked into an unswept portion of the Raven field to the current NK -38B
position. NK -43 has continued on comingled production during this reporting period.
NK -65A has been on injection during the reporting period, with plans to convert it to
a Sag River producer now that NK -15A (injector) has been drilled (1Q 2018).
Production from the Raven Field started in March 2001 with the completion of the
Sag River in NK -43. The Sag River in 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. NK -38A was sidetracked and NK -38B began production September 2016
from the optimized location.
NK -14B was spudded in March 2017 and is an extension well delineating the outer
boundaries of the Raven Oil Pool. It is currently producing under a GOR waiver
valid until August 1, 2018 and is a Tract Operation. The well came on production
from the Sag River formation in late June, 2017 and by the middle of August had
what later was determined to be a production casing leak. The well was shut-in
from September, 2017 — March, 2018 to determine failure and repair options. NK -
14B has since been restored to production.
Oil Production from the Raven pool averaged 1.05 mbd for the reporting period. As
NK -38B seems to exhibit aquifer support based on pressure and water analysis, NK -
Raven Oil Pohl Page 1 ASR for Apr ' 17 — Mar ' 1 8
65A injection has been decreased to a VRR less than 1. NK -15A was recently drilled
and completed in March, 2018 in a position in the structure believed to be better
situated to support and waterflood the structure for the NK -38B offtake.
The long-term depletion plan is to optimize hydrocarbon production in the Raven
reservoir through voidage replacement from injection to supplement aquifer influx in
order to keep reservoir pressure at levels that will optimize oil recovery. The Raven
Pool voidage replacement ratio for the reporting period is less than 1.0 due to
decreased injection to offset aquifer influx and NK -14B production is included in
voidage, however NK -65A is not injecting to make up the voidage for NK -14B due to
connectivity uncertainty between the wells. NK -14B will continue to be monitored
and continued information analysis will allow for optimization of long term depletion
plans for the Sag River.
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 since
March 2005. The most recent static reservoir pressure in NK -38B, was taken in July
2017 and reservoir pressure was 4062 psi (datum). The well shows a -300 psi
decline, and thus led to a new injection location with NK -15A for optimized support.
3. Results of Production Logging, Tracer and Well Surveys
No production logs were obtained in Raven during the reporting period.
B. Development and Production Activity
1. Progress of Enhanced Recovery Project Implementation and Reservoir Management
Summary
Waterflood at Raven began in October 2005, using water from the Initial Participating
Area Seawater Treatment facilities. NK -65A is currently on injection into the
Ivishak reservoir at an average rate of 1.7 mbd. Once injection from NK -15A
begins, an optimized injection voidage replacement plan will be determined.
Raven Oil Pool
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 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 3298 on December 7, 2006. Two oil samples were taken from NK -43 during
the reporting period (5/17 and 10/17) for geochemical analysis to confirm production
allocation splits between the Sag River and Kuparuk reservoirs. The analyses
showed that -95% 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 5 development wells drilled into the Raven Oil Pool through
the end of the reporting period. Future development plans are discussed in the 2018
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 20,
2017. The Commission will be copied when the 2018 update of the Raven Plan of
Development is filed with the division.
5. Review of Pool Production Allocation Factors(per Administrative Approval Docket
Number: CO -15-013 Done January 7, 2016)
LPC monthly oil average allocation factors are supplied below. The Niakuk Oil Pool
and Raven Oil Pool will have the same allocation factors as LPC. Any dates with zero
allocation factor were excluded. Allocation factors range from 0.86-1.05. Daily
allocation data and daily test data are being retained.
