2019 Aurora Oil Pool Annual Surveillance Report
1. INTRODUCTION
This Annual Reservoir Report is being submitted to the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission in
accordance with Rule 8 of Conservation Order 457B for the Aurora Oil Pool and covers the period from
July 1, 2018 to June 30, 2019.
2. PROGRESS OF ENHANCED RECOVERY PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION AND RESERVOIR MANAGEMENT
SUMMARY (RULE 8 A)
Enhanced Recovery Projects
Water injection in the Aurora Oil Pool (AOP) started in 2001. Tertiary EOR Miscible Water Alternating Gas
(MWAG) started in the North of Crest (NOC) and West blocks at Aurora in 2003, Southeast Crest (SEC) in
2004, and Crest (CR) & South of Crest (SOC) in 2006.
Evaluation of hydrocarbon recovery mechanisms for the Aurora Oil Pool (AOP) has been a continual
process. A phased development program has been deemed appropriate due to the technical
characteristics of considerable faulting, low initial oil rates, gas cap presence, and thin oil columns. This
development approach employs three reservoir mechanisms throughout the field's life to maximize
commercial production.
Initial development involves a period of primary production to determine reservoir performance and
connectivity of drainage areas. Primary production under solution gas and aquifer influx drive, from both
floodable and non-waterflood pay intervals, provides information, including production pressure data to
evaluate compartmentalization and conformance, that is used to improve the depletion plan. This drilling
and surveillance data influences subsequent steps in reservoir development, including proper water
injection pattern layout.
In areas of the AOP where injection is justified, water -flooding is initiated to improve recovery by reducing
residual oil saturation and maintaining well productivity via reservoir pressure support.
Tertiary EOR MWAG provides additional oil recovery by further reducing residual oil saturation. The
miscible gas injection project is operated to maintain miscibility between the reservoir fluid and the
injected miscible gas. There will be higher pressure in the area around injection wells and a pressure sink
around the producers, which in some cases can be below minimum miscibility pressure (MMP) of
approximately 2600 psi.
With average reservoir pressures above the MMP, incremental EOR recovery is essentially the same even
when producer region pressures below the MMP are maintained. Consequently, reservoir management
guidelines for EOR are based on average reservoir pressure rather than producer pressure. Early
implementation of the secondary and tertiary injection processes allows adequate time for producers to
capture mobilized oil. Proper field management includes monitoring of productivity, GOR, water cut,
pressure, and voidage replacement ratios.
Reservoir Managgment Strateev
The objective of the Aurora reservoir management strategy is to manage reservoir development and
depletion to maximize commercial production consistent with prudent oil field engineering practices.
During primary depletion, producers experienced increasing gas -oil -ratios (GORs) due to existence of an
initial gas cap, primarily in the West side of the field, but also apparent in the CR and SEC areas.
3
Production was restricted to conserve reservoir energy. Beginning in mid -2001 and continuing into 2003,
production from wells 5-100, 5-106 and 5-102 was reduced to approximately half capacity, allowing
injection to significantly reduce the GORs by the end of 2003. This practice continued in 2004-5 with
curtailment of wells 5-108, S -113B and 5-118. By 2006, these wells were returned to production with a
notable increase in reservoir pressure and productivity in 5-108. Pressure data and production
performance in 5-113B indicates the well is supported by a large gas -cap, so it was returned to full-time
production in 2006 to capture benefits of MI injection in the area.
Waterflood patterns have been designed and implemented to maintain pressure in individual reservoir
compartments and areal sweep is maximized. Initial patterns were based on the understanding at the
time of reservoir compartmentalization. Patterns and producer/injector ratios are being modified as
development wells and surveillance data provide new information. The surveillance program emphasizes
pressure monitoring, injection tracers in select patterns, and waterflood performance monitoring to
support this feedback and intervention process.
During the reporting period, average injection rate was 14,769 BWIPD and 4.6 MMSCFD. S Pad MI was
down from 3Q 2018 to 1Q 2019 for planned maintenance (mapegaz valve replacement). Cumulative
injection through June 2019 was 128.4 MMSTBW and 49.9 BCF. A total of 19 injectors have been on
water injection and 18 injectors have been on MI.
3. VOIDAGE BALANCE BY MONTH OF PRODUCED AND INJECTED FLUIDS (RULE 89
During the reporting period, field production averaged 5,291 BOPD, 11.2 MMSCFD (FGOR 2,118 SCF/STB),
and 17,384 BWPD (WC 77 %). Water injection during this period averaged 14,769 BWIPD with 4.6
MMSCFD of miscible gas injection. The average voidage replacement ratio was 0.58 .
Monthly production, injection, and voidage volumes for the reporting period are summarized in Table 1.
Cumulative production, injection, and voidage replacement ratios by fault block are summarized in Table
2. Figures 1 and 2 graphically depict this information since field start-up.
Plans to achieve injection withdrawal ratios consistent with the reservoir management strategy include
drilling and stimulation of injection wells as necessary and increasing water injection supply pressure to
enhance injection rates where needed. A booster pump was installed at S Pad to provide increased
injection pressure for low injectivity patterns. The S Pad booster pump was offline from Sept 2018 to Nov
2018 for electrical issues (feeder ground fault).
4. ANALYSIS OF RESERVOIR PRESSURE SURVEYS WITHIN THE POOL (RULE 8 C
Reservoir pressure monitoring is performed in accordance with Rule 5 of Conservation Order 457B. A
summary of reservoir pressure surveys obtained during the reporting period is shown in Table 3. The field
average reservoir pressure map is shown in Figure 3.
Pressure measurements were gathered in 22 wells during the reporting period for a total of 29 statics.
Most producers in the ACP have evidence of pressure response to injection support.
For the period of July 1", 2019 to June 30`h, 2020, a minimum of one pressure survey will be taken in each
of the active representative areas that contain active wells. If all active representative areas contain
active wells, a minimum of five pressure surveys will be taken.

5. RESULTS AND ANALYSIS OF SPECIAL MONITORING (RULE 8 D)
During the reporting period, two production logs were run in the Aurora Field. On November 9th, 2018
and March 30th, 2019, a PNL log was run in S-113BL1 to determine where hydraulic fractures (gadolinium
tagged proppant) had initiated, as S-113131-1 has an uncemented completion.
During the reporting period, no injection logs were run in the Aurora Field.
6. REVIEW OF POOL PRODUCTION ALLOCATION (RULE 8 E) AND REVIEW OF POOL PRODUCTION
ALLOCATION FACTORS AND ISSUES (RULE 4E)
Aurora production allocation is performed according to the PBU Western Satellite Production Metering
Plan. Allocation relies on performance curves to determine the daily theoretical production from each
well. The GC -2 allocation factor is now being applied to adjust the total Aurora production similar to IPA
production allocation procedures. A minimum of one well test per month is used to check the
performance curves and to verify system performance.
Over the reporting period, the monthly average of daily oil production allocation factors fell within the
range of 0.82 and 1.02. Any days with allocation factors of zero were excluded. The monthly averages of
daily oil production allocation factors are shown in Table 4. Electronic files containing daily allocation
data and daily test data for a minimum of five years are being retained.
7. OPERATIONS, DEVELOPMENT & RESERVOIR DEPLETION PLANS REVIEW (RULES F &G)
Field development areas for the AOP have been defined by geological and reservoir performance data
interpretation. Differing initial gas -oil and oil -water contacts and pressure behavior during primary
production led to the definition of these field development management areas. These areas include the:
1) West Area,
2) North of Crest Area (NOC),
3) South East of Crest Area (SEC),
4) Crest Area (AURCR), and
5) South of Crest Area (SOC)
After establishing primary production from each area, water -flood and tertiary EOR has been
implemented to provide pressure support and reduce residual oil saturations. The West and North of
Crest areas began production in 2000-2001; water injection commenced in 2002 and MWAG began in
December 2003. Initiation of water injection into the South East of Crest Area began with conversion of
Wells S-112 and S-110 to injection in June and July 2003 and conversion to MWAG in 2006. Crest Area
production began in mid-March 2003 with startup of Aurora Well S-115; Well S-117 production began in
early June 2003 with a water -flood startup in August 2004 with newly drilled injection wells S-1161 and S -
120i that were put on MWAG in 2006. South of Crest Area production started -up on August, 2002 with
the well S-11313. This area was separated from the West and Crest Area after confirming
compartmentalization between both areas. In 2014 the well S-135 was drilled at SOC Area to continue
expanding the reservoir development.
Summarized below are significant events and accomplishments at Aurora over the past year:
• S -105A: was sidetracked and placed on production in 2Q 2019
■ S-109: had concentric liner installed November '18 and was hydraulically fractured in December
'18
5
• S-26: attempted fill cleanout in December '18 (coil tubing got stuck 4 fish left in the well)
■ S-113BL1: had perforations added in March '19
■ 5-129: had perforations added in June'19 (obstruction in liner 4 damage from frac)
• S-2213: approved RWO to add Kuparuk injection; scheduled for 4Q 2019
• MI was injected into 6 water -alternating -gas injectors
• In addition to the aforementioned activity, miscellaneous producer and injector wellwork was
executed to minimize oil rate decline.
The Aurora owners will continue to evaluate optimal well count, well utility, wellwork and well locations
to maximize commercial production.
Future development plans are discussed in the 2019 update to the Plan of Development for the Aurora
Participating Area, which was filed with the Division of Oil and Gas of the Alaska Department of Natural
Resources on September 25th, 2018, a copy of which was provided to the Commission. The Commission
will be copied when the 2020 update of the Aurora Plan of Development is filed with the Division.

2019 Borealis Oil Pool Annual Reservoir Report
1. INTRODUCTION
This Annual Reservoir Report is submitted to the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission for the
Borealis Oil Pool in accordance with Commission regulations and Conservation Order 471. This report
covers the period from July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019.
2. PROGRESS OF ENHANCED RECOVERY PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION AND RESERVOIR MANAGEMENT
SUMMARY (RULE 9AA
Enhanced Recovery Projects
Water injection in the Borealis Oil Pool (BOP) started in June 2001, whereas tertiary EOR Miscible Water
Alternating Gas (MWAG) started in June 2004.
Evaluation of hydrocarbon recovery mechanisms for the Borealis Oil Pool (BOP) has been a continual
process. A phased development program has been deemed appropriate due to the technical
characteristics of considerable faulting, low initial oil rates, and thin oil columns. This development
approach employs three reservoir mechanisms throughout the field's life to maximize commercial
production.
Initial development involves a period of primary production to determine reservoir performance and
connectivity of drainage areas. Primary production under solution gas and aquifer influx drive, from both
floodable and non-waterflood pay intervals, provides information, including production pressure data to
evaluate compartmentalization and conformance, that is used to improve the depletion plan. This drilling
and surveillance data influences subsequent steps in reservoir development, including proper water
injection pattern layout.
In areas of the BOP where injection is justified, waterflooding is initiated to improve recovery by reducing
residual oil saturation and maintaining well productivity via reservoir pressure support.
Tertiary EOR MWAG provides additional oil recovery by further reducing residual oil saturation. The
miscible gas injection project is operated to maintain miscibility between the reservoir fluid and the
injected miscible gas. There will be higher pressure in the area around injection wells and a pressure sink
around the producers, which in some cases can be below minimum miscibility pressure (MMP) of
approximately 2100 psi.
With average reservoir pressures above the MMP, incremental EOR recovery is essentially the same even
when producer region pressures below the MMP are maintained. As a consequence, reservoir
management guidelines for EOR are based on average reservoir pressure rather than producer pressure.
Early implementation of the secondary and tertiary injection processes allows adequate time for
producers to capture mobilized oil. Proper field management includes monitoring of productivity, GOR,
water cut, pressure, and voidage replacement ratios.
Reservoir Management Summary,
The objective of the Borealis reservoir management strategy is to manage reservoir development and
depletion to maximize commercial production consistent with prudent oil field engineering practices.
During primary depletion, a number of producers experienced increasing GORs. Production was
restricted in several wells in 2002 to conserve reservoir energy. As more injection patterns were
implemented in 2003, the rising GOR trend was reversed and GORs stabilized near solution GOR. When
3
water injection was initiated, a VRR target greater than 1.0 was implemented in order to catch up with
voidage. The current VRR target is 1.0.
Waterflood patterns have been designed and implemented to maintain pressure in individual reservoir
compartments and areal sweep is maximized. Initial patterns were based on the understanding at the
time of reservoir compartmentalization. Patterns and producer/injector ratios are being modified as
development wells and surveillance data provide new information. The surveillance program emphasizes
pressure monitoring, injection tracers in select patterns, and waterflood performance monitoring to
support this feedback and intervention process.
Injection facility limitations were identified in 2003, which limited the delivery pressure of water to be
injected to the field. Booster pumps were installed at Z Pad to provide increased injection pressure and
better water distribution. The increased injection pressure has allowed better management of injection
at a pattern level.
The Borealis waterflood strategy is progressing as planned, however Borealis has experienced earlier than
expected water breakthrough in many patterns. Impacts of the early breakthrough include reduced
production due to unfavorable wellbore hydraulics and gas -lift supply pressure limitations. Remedies
have included gas -lift redesign and optimization and prioritization of gas -lift use.
During the reporting period, average injection rate was 30,591 BWIPD and 21.0 MMSCFD. Cumulative
injection through June 2019 was 217.3 MMSTBW and 103.3 BCF. A total of 22 injectors have been on
water injection and 22 injectors have been on MI.
3. VOIDAGE BALANCE BY MONTH OF PRODUCED AND INJECTED FLUIDS (RULE 9B
During the reporting period, field production averaged 5,905 BOPD, 17.0 MMSCFD (FGOR 2,885 SCF/STB),
and 26,544 BWPD (WC 82 %). Water injection during this period averaged 30,591 BWIPD with 21.0
MMSCFD of miscible gas injection. The average voidage replacement ratio was 0.97.
Monthly production, injection, and voidage volumes for the reporting period are summarized in Table 1.
Figures 1 and 2 graphically depict this information since field start-up.
Plans to achieve injection withdrawal ratios consistent with the reservoir management strategy include
drilling and stimulation of injection wells as necessary and increasing water injection supply pressure to
enhance injection rates where needed. Booster pumps were installed at Z Pad to provide increased
injection pressure for low injectivity patterns. Booster pump Z -504A ran reliably for the entire reporting
period. Booster pump Z -504B had a motor failure in 3Q 2018 and returned to service in 3Q 2019.
4. ANALYSIS OF RESERVOIR PRESSURE SURVEYS WITHIN THE POOL ( RULE 9C)
Reservoir pressure monitoring is performed in accordance with Rule 5 of Conservation Order 471. A
summary of reservoir pressure surveys obtained during the reporting period is shown in Table 2. The field
reservoir pressure map is shown in Figure 3.
Five of the newer producers and one injector have been completed with permanent bottomhole gauges,
giving valuable information about the flowing conditions, reservoir pressures, and reservoir connectivity
on a continuous basis.
Pressure measurements were gathered in 19 wells during reporting period for a total of 20 statics. Most
producers in Borealis have evidence of pressure response to injection support.
4
For the period of July 1", 2019 to June 30`h, 2020, a minimum of one pressure survey will be taken in each
of the active representative areas that contain active wells. If all active representative areas contain
active wells, a minimum of six pressure surveys will be taken.
5. RESULTS AND ANALYSIS OF SPECIAL MONITORING RULE 9D
During the reporting period, no injection or production logs were run in the Borealis Field
6. REVIEW OF POOL PRODUCTION ALLOCATION AND WELL TEST EVALUATION RULE 9E AND REVIEW OF
POOL PRODUCTION ALLOCATION FACTORS AN❑ ISSUES RULE 4G
Borealis production allocation is performed according to the PBU Western Satellite Production Metering
Plan. Allocation relies on performance curves to determine the daily theoretical production from each
well. The GC -2 allocation factor is now being applied to adjust the total Borealis production similar to IPA
production allocation procedures. A minimum of one well test per month is used to check the
performance curves and to verify system performance.
A project was initiated to improve the L & V pad metering reliability issues by phasing out the Gen 2
meters and upgrading/reinstating the test separators with modern flow measurement components that
are easily maintained. The upgrades on L Pad included installation of a MicroMotion meter and Phase
Dynamics meter, as the L Pad test separator was already in service. The upgrades on V Pad included
returning the test separator to service as well as installation of a MicroMotion meter and Phase Dynamics
meter. The L & V pad test separator upgrades were completed in January 2019. The meter prove -up and
rate verification was completed with the portable testers in 1Ct 2019. Overall, improvements in both well
test quality and accuracy have been observed.
Over the reporting period, the monthly average of daily oil production allocation factors fell within the
range of 0.82 and 1.02 . Any days with allocation factors of zero were excluded. The monthly averages of
daily oil production allocation factors are shown in Table 3. Electronic files containing daily allocation
data and daily test data for a minimum of five years are being retained.
7. OPERATIONS, DEVELOPMENT & RESERVOIR DEPLETION PLANS REVIEW (RULE 9F &G
Miscible gas injection and water -alternating with miscible gas injection is used to increase the economic
recovery of Borealis reservoir hydrocarbons. Injection wells are completed for Enhanced Oil Recovery
services. Waterflood and tertiary EOR have been implemented to provide pressure support and reduce
residual oil saturations on all three Borealis Pads, L, V and Z. Injection started on June 8, 2002. Water
injection manifolding and booster pumps have been installed and have been operating since January
2004. These booster pumps allow even pattern support throughout the waterflood providing optimum
waterflood spacing, configuration, timing and operations. The Borealis waterflood management strategy
targets a voidage replacement ratio of 1.0 through MI WAG injection to maintain reservoir pressure and
to maximize commercial oil production.
In March 2010, GC2 reached its permit limit for H2S production. Several Borealis wells were shut in
during their MI responses due to elevated H2S in the returned MI. The installation of Metal Triazine
injection continues to help maintain H2S production within the allowable limit. Borealis wells continue to
show benefits from MI.

2019 Midnight Sun Annual Reservoir Report
1. Introduction
This Annual Reservoir Report is submitted to the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation
Commission for the Midnight Sun Oil Pool in accordance with Commission regulations
and Conservation Order 452. This report covers the period from July 1, 2018 through June
30, 2019.
2. Progress of Enhanced Recovery Project Implementation and Reservoir
Management Summary (Rule 11 a)
Production and injection volumes for the 12 -month period ending June 30, 2019 are
summarized in Table 1. The objective of the Midnight Sun reservoir management strategy
is to manage reservoir development and depletion to maximize commercial production
consistent with prudent oil field engineering practices. During primary depletion, both the
E-101 and the E-102 producers experienced increasing gas -oil -ratios (GORs).
Consequently, production was restricted to conserve reservoir energy. Produced water
injection into the Midnight Sun reservoir commenced in October 2000 and continues to
provide pressure support to Midnight Sun. The objective of water injection is to increase
reservoir pressure, reduce GOR's to enable wells to be produced at their full capacity, and
maximize areal sweep efficiency.
There is a risk of oil in -flux into the gas cap from mid -field water injection. Placement of
the wells drilled in 2001 and voidage management is minimizing this risk. A historical
VRR target of 1.0 to 1.3 is designed to increase reservoir pressure while minimizing re -
saturation of oil into the gas cap. During the period covered by the report, the VRR
averaged 0.39, primarily due to E-1031 being shut-in in May 2018.
Midnight Sun oil production volume increased during the reporting period. E-1031 ceased
injection in May 2018 following a low flow condition and inability to pig the water
injection line after work began to convert E-100 to production service for the Sambuca
development. Subsequent pressure surveys in E-103 showed significant reservoir pressure
decline which led to the shut-in of E-102, which also had an uncompetitive watercut and
had not seen MI response from P1-122. Stabilized reservoir pressure from injection
underpins the steady fluid production observed in individual producers. Well E-101
currently produces at a stable fluid rate of 7000 bfpd with —87 % watercut. Since 2005,
gas lift has been utilized to produce the Midnight Sun wells more efficiently.
3
In 2015 P1-122, a Water -Alternating -Gas (WAG) injector, was drilled from P1 Pad (the
only pad with Miscible Injectant nearby) to supply MI and implement enhanced oil
recovery in the pool. With the drilling of the PI -122 well MI WAG has become possible
for the first time for this pool. During the plan period, P1-122 injected MI until November.
On November 29th 2019 P1-122 was swapped to produced water injection.
Development plans include prudent management of the EOR flood. Wellwork such as well
sidetracks to increase recovery will be evaluated as the field matures. Additionally, the
subsurface management team plans to update the MNS simulation model to facilitate
development opportunities.
3. Voidage Balance by Month of Produced and Injected Fluids (Rule 11 b)
A total of six Midnight Sun wells have been drilled, with the most recent well, P 1-122,
drilled in 2015 from Pt. McIntyre. Midnight Sun produced at an average rate of 1,394 bopd,
12,948 bwpd, 11.4 mmscfpd and injected 6,432 bwpd and 2.8 mmscfpd of MI for the report
period resulting in a total VRR of 0.39 for the period. Monthly production and injection
surface volumes for the reporting period are summarized in Table 1 along with a voidage
balance of produced and injected fluids for the report period. E-1031 ceased injection in
May 2018 following a low flow condition and inability to pig the water injection line after
work began to convert E-100 to production service for the Sambuca development.
Subsequent pressure surveys in E-103 showed significant reservoir pressure decline which
led to the shut-in of E-102, which also had an uncompetitive watercut and had not seen MI
response from P 1-122.
4. Analysis of Reservoir Pressure Surveys within the Pool (Rule 11 c)
Reservoir pressure monitoring is performed in accordance with Rule 8 of Conservation
Order 452. A summary of reservoir pressure surveys obtained during the reporting period
is shown in Table 2. For the report period three reservoir pressures were acquired: E-103
(3736 psi, 0.42psi/ft, 10/30/2018), E-100 (3095 psi, .42psi/ft, 02/24/2019), and E-103
(3486 psi, 0.42psi/ft, 03/15/2019).
The E-104 injection well has been shut-in since September 9th, 2015 and remains shut-in.
Prior to that this well's injection rate declined with time and the block showed evidence of
increased pressure, indicating the well may not be providing efficient sweep or efficient
pressure support to the field. A static bottom hole pressure was taken on September 3rd,
2015 for injector E-104 which provided additional evidence of reservoir
compartmentalization. This surveillance data indicated pressure in the E-104 area had
increased to near initial reservoir conditions, which implies the injector was not providing
meaningful support to the field.
A high pressure break down was successfully completed in PI -122 in November 2017 to
increase MI injection rates. The E-103 injection well has been shut-in since May 3rd, 2018
due to a low flow condition and inability to pig the water injection line. E-103 was also SI
to manage the water cut of the E-102 producer well and facilitate better MI interaction
between PI -122 and E-102. The E-102 producer has been shut-in since May 7th, 2019. This
4
well has not responded to MI injection and has remained at an uncompetitive watercut. The
well was shut-in to manage voidage following reservoir pressure measurements in the E -
103i well.
5. Results and Analysis of Production & Injection Logging Surveys (Rule 11 d)
A tracer study was performed in 2010. Progress and results of that study were discussed in
the 2014-2015 ASR.
During the 2018-2019 reporting period, no significant production logging or tracer studies
were completed, and future tracer studies are not being planned at this time because the
field's interactions are satisfactorily understood. EOR oil response and returned MI
response from P1-122 MI injection also serves as a tracer. Results thus far indicate good
communication and response between P 1-122 and E-101 but poor communication between
P1-122 and E-102.
6. Results of Well Allocation and Test Evaluation (Rule 11 e) and Review of Pool
Production Factors and Issues (Rule 7(d)
Midnight Sun wells are tested using the E -Pad test separator, and Midnight Sun production
is processed through the GC -1 facility. Midnight Sun production allocation has been
performed according to the PBU Western Satellite Production Metering Plan for the report
period.
Over the reporting period, the monthly average of the daily oil production allocation factors
fell within the range of 0.93-0.99. Any days with allocation factors of zero were excluded.
The monthly averages of daily oil production allocation factors are shown in Table 3.
Electronic files containing daily allocation data and daily test data for a minimum of five
years are being retained.
7. Future Development Plans and Review of Plan of Operations and Development
(Rule 11 f & g)
Future development plans are discussed in the 2019 update to the Plan of Development for
the Midnight Sun Participating Area, which was filed with the Division of Oil and Gas of
the Alaska Department of Natural Resources on September 25, 2018, a copy of which was
provided to the Commission. The Commission will be copied when the 2019 update of the
Midnight Sun Plan of Development is filed with the division.

2019 ORION OIL POOL ANNUAL SURVEILLANCE REPORT
1. INTRODUCTION
This Annual Surveillance Report is being submitted to the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission in
accordance with Rule 9 of Conservation Order 505B, and covers the period from July 1, 2018 to June 30,
2019.
2. VOIDAGE BALANCE BY MONTH OF PRODUCED AND INJECTED FLUIDS RULE 9A
During the reporting period, field production averaged 4,955 BOPD, 8.3 MMSCFD (FGOR 1,672 SCF/STB),
and 11,042 BWPD (WC 69 %). Water injection during this period averaged 11,848 BWIPD with 12.9
MMSCFD of miscible gas injection. The average voidage replacement ratio was 0.98 .
Monthly production, injection, and voidage volumes for the reporting period are summarized in Table 1.
Figures 1 and 2 graphically depict this information since field start-up.
3. ANALYSIS OF RESERVOIR PRESSURE SURVEYS WITHIN THE POOL (RULE 913)
Reservoir pressure monitoring is performed in accordance with Rule 5 of Conservation Order 505B. A
summary of valid pressure surveys obtained during the reporting period is shown in Table 2. This data was
acquired using static bottomhole pressure surveys (SBHP) and permanent downhole gauges installed in
injectors. A total of 49 statics in 18 wells were acquired over the plan year. Figure 3 illustrates valid Orion
pressure data acquired since field inception, whereas Figure 4 shows a map of the pressures acquired
during this reporting period interpolated to the Pool datum of 4400 ft TVDss (true vertical depth subsea).
For the period of July 15L, 2019 to June 30`h, 2020, a minimum of one pressure survey will be taken in each
of the active representative areas that contain active wells. If all active representative areas contain active
wells, a minimum of five pressure surveys will be taken.
Acquiring representative regional average pressures continues to be a challenge in Orion wells due to the
physical characteristics of viscous oil, multiple sand targets, and multilateral producer wellbores which
present a paradigm shift from typical data acquisition in light -oil reservoirs. Pressure gradients around
producers and injectors are very shallow due to the low mobility of viscous oil, which results in very slow
build-up and fall-off of pressures. Obtaining representative reservoir pressures is further complicated by
significant differences in rock and oil properties between sands in the same wellbore, and as a result,
productivity (and average sand pressure) varies dramatically between sands. Multilateral producers
experience crossflow between laterals completed in different Schrader Bluff sands while shut-in, which can
result in uneven zonal recharge.
Injectors also suffer from slow bleed -off rates. Most injectors now incorporate check valves in the
waterflood regulators to limit cross flow, but cross flow can occur where check valves are not present or
not holding. These phenomena combine to make the quality of pressure transient analysis (PTA)
questionable, and therefore, extrapolating a representative average reservoir pressure from pressure
build-up (PBU) or pressure fall-off (PFO) data is difficult. In order to mitigate these concerns, single point
3
pressure surveys are obtained whenever possible after a well has been offline for several weeks or months
to allow maximum build-up or fall-off. Even after a long shut-in time, wells show build-up or fall-off rates
of several psi per day.
In light of these challenges, significant effort is being made to obtain high-quality initial pre-injection or
pre -production pressure surveys relatively unaffected by pressure gradients applied to the wellbore.
Whenever possible, initial pressures by zone are being obtained with an MDT in new producers, or via
downhole gauges in injectors. Injector data is becoming increasingly important as the flood matures.
Once development is completed, this becomes the only practical way to collect pressure data on a zonal
basis.
An analysis of the recent pressure data by polygon follows:
PoIyE n 1
This polygon contains producer L-200 and is supported by injectors L-2111, L -212i, and L -218i. During the
reporting period, no new pressures were acquired, as there was no production or injection from the
polygon.
"Ion-IAPo
This polygon contains producers L-202, L-203, and L-250 and is supported by injectors L-2151, L -216i, L -217i,
L -219i, and L -223i. Measured pressures in the polygon range from 1690 psi to 1981 psi. During the
reporting period, producer L-203 was offline for sanding issues, L-250 remained online, and L-202 was
returned to production after isolating the lateral responsible for increased water production.
Consequently, offset injectors were cycled on and off to balance voidage.
During the reporting period, it was determined (via production logging) that the Oba lateral in L-202 had a
matrix bypass event to the aquifer in January '18. In order to return the well to production, the Oba lateral
was isolated. Long term options to remediate the matrix bypass event within the Oba lateral are being
evaluated.
Polygon 2
This polygon contains producers V-202, V-203, V-204, V-205 and is supported by injectors L-2131, V-2101, V -
211i, V -212i, V -213i, V-2141, V -215i, V -216i, V-2171, V -218i, V -222i, V -223i, V -225i, V -229i. Measured
pressures in the polygon range from 1081 psi to 2056 psi.
The lowest pressure in the polygon was observed to be injector V-222i's OA sand. In 2012, a matrix bypass
event was identified in the OA sand between producer V-202 and injector V -222i. The matrix bypass event
was remediated in early 2014. An additional matrix bypass event was confirmed in the OA sand between
producer V-204 and V -222i in October 2018. The OA sand in injector V -222i was subsequently isolated by
replacing the waterflood regulating valve with a dummy valve, thus allowing the injector to remain online
while remediation options are being evaluated. To date, no significant increase in OA reservoir pressure
has been observed.
�1
Polygon 2A
This polygon contains producers L-201, L-204, and V-207 and is supported by injectors L -210i, L-214Ai, L-
222, V -219i, V -220i, V -221i, V -224i, and V -227i. Measured pressures in the polygon range from 1144 psi to
1871 psi.
One of the lowest pressures in the polygon was observed at producer L-204. As reported previously,
producer L-204 is located in an isolated fault block receiving minimal injection support from offset injectors
L -214A and V-220. Due to the narrow size of the fault block, there is insufficient space to place additional
injectors to provide full injection support. Producer L-204 was online for most of the reporting period. The
most recent reservoir pressure for L-204 is 1144 psi.
Polygon 55
This polygon contains producer L -205A and is supported by injectors L -220i and L -221i. Measured
pressures in the polygon range from 2007 psi to 2212 psi. Producer L -205A was offline for most of the
reporting period due flow assurance issues caused by low flow rates.
4. RESULTS AND ANALYSIS OF PRODUCTION & INJECTION LOGGING SURVEYS AND SPECIAL
MOWTORING (RULE 9C)
Production Logs;
During the reporting period, production logs were run in L-202 and L -205A. On September 22, 2018, a
production log was run in L-202 to identify which lateral was responsible for the increased watercut
(aquifer MBE). The derived splits from the production log suggested the Oba lateral was responsible for
the increased watercut (81% of the water production). A subsequent logging run in the Oba lateral
suggests 65% of the water production is coming from the last —1100' of slotted liner.
On August 27th, 2018, a production log was run in L -205A to determine the production splits for the various
sands. The derived oil splits from the production log are as follows: Nb 1%, OA 33%, Oba 11%, Obb 9%,
Obc 10%, Obd 36%.
Prior production logs have frequently been adversely affected by well slugging. Future production logging
candidates will be evaluated on a case by case basis.
Well Fluids Sampling:
A well fluids sampling program is ongoing to gather high quality and high frequency surveillance data: (1)
Uncontaminated wellhead samples are obtained monthly to quarterly on each producer, and tested for
API, viscosity, WC, and sand quantity. This data helps track changes in production from different sands,
waterflood or MI response, and sanding tendencies. A portion of these samples is later used for
geochemical production allocation analysis. (2) Wellhead samples are analyzed quarterly for water
properties to identify changes between formation water production and waterflood breakthrough. This
data is also useful for identifying matrix bypass events (MBE) because produced water will have similar
properties as injected water. (3) A produced water supply sample is analyzed quarterly to serve as a
baseline for analysis of well production samples. (4) Gas sampling is done monthly or quarterly depending
5
on WAG activity in the polygon to establish gas chromatography signatures and track returned miscible
injectant (MI).
Geochemical Fingerprinting
This technique has been in use since 1999 in the North Slope viscous oil developments, and has shown
promise in obtaining snapshot relative oil flow splits from individual sands. This data is useful in gauging
zonal well performance, identifying problem laterals, and providing a basis by which to optimize offset
injection. Wellhead oil samples are taken on roughly a quarterly basis, or as well performance changes.
Results to date are mixed with reasonable allocations in some wells, but questionable data in others. Work
is ongoing to gather additional baseline oil samples, and improve analysis techniques to improve data
value.
Infection Logs
No injection logs were run during the reporting period
Injection logs are used to quality check waterflood regulating valve performance while in water service or
to determine the distribution of miscible injectant between zones.
Real-time Downhole Pressure Gauges in Injectors:
Monitoring of individual zonal pressures is continuing on all injectors with downhole gauges installed.
Real-time data has confirmed offtake from offset producers, formation and healing of MBE's, pressure
transmission across the OWC, and helped tremendously in identifying underperforming injection
regulators.
5. REVIEW OF POOL PRODUCTION ALLOCATION RULE 9D AND REVIEW OF POOL PRODUCTION
ALLOCATION FACTORS AND ISSUES RULE 4 PART F
Orion production allocation is performed in accordance with the PBU Western Satellite Production
Metering Plan, subject to ongoing review and approved changes. Allocation relies on performance curves
to determine the daily theoretical production from each well. The GC -2 allocation factor is applied to
adjust production on a daily basis. A minimum of one well test per month is used to check the
performance curves, and to verify system performance, with more frequent testing during new well start-
up and after significant wellwork.
A project was initiated to improve the L & V pad metering reliability issues by phasing out the Gen 2 meters
and upgrading/reinstating the test separators with modern flow measurement components that are easily
maintained. The upgrades on L Pad included installation of a MicroMotion meter and Phase Dynamics
meter, as the L Pad test separator was already in service. The upgrades on V Pad included returning the
test separator to service, as well as installation of a MicroMotion meter and Phase Dynamics meter. The L
& V pad test separator upgrades were completed in January 2019. The meter prove -up and rate
verification was completed with the portable testers in 1Q 2019. Overall, improvements in both well test
quality and accuracy have been observed.
Over the reporting period, the monthly average of daily oil production allocation factors fell within the
range of 0.82 and 1.02 . Any days with allocation factors of zero were excluded. The monthly averages of
A
daily oil production allocation factors are shown in Table 3. Electronic files containing daily allocation data
and daily test data for a minimum of five years are being retained.
6. PROGRESS OF ENHANCED RECOVERY PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION AND RESERVOIR MANAGEMENT
SUMMARY (RULE 9E)
Enhanced Recovery Project - Waterflood:
Primary production from the Orion oil pool commenced in 2002 and continued until waterflood was
initiated in 2003. The waterflood patterns are designed to ensure reservoir pressure is maintained above
the bubble point pressure and as close to the original reservoir pressure as possible. Because of
differences in rock and oil quality, the various sands behave like different reservoirs connected in the same
wellbore, thereby requiring a much higher degree of control in the injectors to manage voidage.
The basis of design for water injectors has evolved to include isolation packers between sands to accurately
control injection rate into the vastly different sands. Injection rate into each zone is controlled by
downhole waterflood regulating valves installed in mandrels adjacent to the target sand. To prevent
freezing, a minimum injection rate of 500 BWIPD is being used for all new waterflood regulating valve
designs. In patterns where the minimum injection rate results in a high voidage replacement ratio,
injectors in the pattern are cycled.
During the reporting period, average injection rate was 11,848 BWIPD. Cumulative injection through June
2019 was 55.5 MMSTBW, which has been injected in 36 water injectors. No new water injectors have been
placed into service during the reporting period.
Enhanced Recovery Proiect - Miscible Injectant:
In 2006, approval to implement an enhanced oil recovery project in the Orion oil pool using Prudhoe Bay
miscible injectant was granted via C.O. 505A. Injection of miscible injectant began later that year in the
updip portion of Polygon 2. The current MI strategy is to inject smaller slugs of miscible injectant to
improve the efficiency of the flood. To date, miscible injectant has been injected in Polygon 1A, Polygon 2,
Polygon 2A, and Polygon 5.
During the reporting period, average injection rate was 12.9 MMSCFD. Cumulative injection through June
2019 was 31.6 BCF, which has been injected in 26 water -alternating -gas injectors. No new water -
alternating -gas injectors have been placed into service during the reporting period.
Reservoir Management Strategy:
The objective of the Orion oil pool reservoir management strategy is to manage reservoir development and
depletion to maximize commercial production consistent with prudent oil field engineering practices. Key
to this is achieving a balanced voidage replacement ratio required to keep reservoir pressure above the
bubble point. Individual floods are managed with downhole waterflood regulating valves in the injectors,
as well as limited capabilities of reducing offtake in the producers by shutting in or choking laterals.
Learnings over the last few years have revealed significant differences in productivity and oil mobility
between Schrader Bluff sands. These learnings have led to changes in completion designs and operational
strategies. In addition, the emergence of matrix bypass events has further highlighted the complexity of
rA
the Schrader Bluff sands. It is expected that the reservoir management strategy will continually be
evaluated and revised as appropriate throughout the life of the field.
Matrix Bypass Events:
As described in prior reports, the phenomenon of premature water breakthrough between a producer and
a water source (water injector or aquifer) challenges the North Slope viscous oil developments. These
events appear to have a multitude of probable causes: faults, fractures, matrix short-circuit through high
perm streaks, and what is believed to be the creation of tunnels or "worm holes".
During the reporting period, matrix bypass events between V -212i and V-204 (OA and Oba sands) and V -
222i and V-204 (OA sand) were confirmed via separate red dye tests. Options to remediate the matrix
bypass events are being evaluated.
7. PROGRESS OF PLANS AND TESTS TO EXPAND THE PRODUCTIVE LIMITS OF THE POOL (RULE 9F
N -Sands:
As mentioned in previous reports, Orion includes three wells with slotted liner completions in the N -sand;
L-203, L-205, and V-207.
8. RESULTS OF MONITORING TO DETERMINE ENRICHED GAS INJECTANT BREAKTHROUGH TO OFFSET
PRODUCERS (RULE 9G)
A response to miscible injectant is indicated by an increase in produced gas rate, an increase in formation
gas -oil -ratio, and a reduction in the producing ratio of C1 (methane) to C3 (propane).
To date, in the life of the field, responses to miscible injectant have been observed in the following
producers: L-201, L-202, V-202, V-203, V-204, V-205, and V-207.
9. FUTURE DEVELOPMENT PLAN
Future development plans are discussed in the 2019 update to the Plan of Development for the Orion
Participating Area, which was filed with the Division of Oil and Gas of the Alaska Department of Natural
Resources on September 25th, 2018, a copy of which was provided to the Commission. The Commission
will be copied when the 2020 update of the Orion Plan of Development is filed with the Division.

2019 POLARIS OIL POOL ANNUAL SURVEILLANCE REPORT
1. INTRODUCTION
This Annual Surveillance Report is submitted to the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission for the
Polaris Oil Pool in accordance with Commission regulations and Conservation Order 484A. This report
covers the period from July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019.
2. VOIDAGE BALANCE BY MONTH OF PRODUCED AND INJECTED FLUIDS (RULE 9A)
During the reporting period, field production averaged 3,969 BOPD, 3.5 MMSCFD (FGOR 879 SCF/STB), and
5,935 BWPD (WC 60 %). Water injection during this period averaged 7,178 BWIPD with 4.5 MMSCFD of
miscible gas injection. The average voidage replacement ratio was 0.82 .
Monthly production, injection, and voidage volumes for the reporting period are summarized in Table 1.
Figures 1 and 2 graphically depict this information since field start-up.
3. ANALYSIS OF RESERVOIR PRESSURE SURVEYS WITHIN THE POOL (RULE 913)
Reservoir pressure monitoring is performed in accordance with Rule 5 of Conservation Order 484A. A
summary of valid pressure surveys obtained during the reporting period is shown in Table 2. This data was
acquired using static bottomhole pressure surveys (SBHP) and permanent downhole gauges installed in
injectors. A total of 22 statics in 12 wells were acquired over the plan year. Figure 3 illustrates all valid
Polaris pressure data acquired since field inception, whereas Figure 4 shows a map of the pressures
acquired during this reporting period at the Pool datum of 5000 ft TVDss (true vertical depth subsea). For
the period of July 15L, 2019 to June 30`h, 2020, a minimum of one pressure survey will be taken in each of
the active representative areas that contain active wells. If all active representative areas contain active
wells, a minimum of four pressure surveys will be taken.
Acquiring representative regional average pressures continues to be a challenge in Polaris wells due to the
physical characteristics of viscous oil, three sand targets, and multilateral producer wellbores which present
a paradigm shift from typical data acquisition in light -oil reservoirs. Pressure gradients around producers
and injectors are very shallow due to the low mobility of viscous oil, which results in very slow build-up and
fall-off of pressures. Obtaining representative reservoir pressures is further complicated by significant
differences in rock and oil properties between sands in the same wellbore, and as a result, productivity (and
average sand pressure) varies dramatically between sands. Multilateral producers experience cross-flow
between laterals completed in different sands and uneven zonal recharge during shut-in.
Injectors also suffer from slow bleed -off rates during shut-in. Most injectors now incorporate check valves
in the waterflood regulators to limit cross flow, but cross flow can occur where check valves are not present
or not holding. These phenomena combine to make the quality of pressure transient analysis (PTA) very
questionable, and therefore, extrapolating a representative average reservoir pressure from pressure build-
up (PBU) pressure fall-off (PFO) data is very difficult. In order to mitigate these concerns, single point
pressure surveys are obtained whenever possible after a well has been offline for several weeks or months
3
to allow maximum build-up or fall-off. Even after a long shut-in time, wells show build-up or fall-off rates of
several psi per day.
In light of these challenges, significant effort is being made to obtain high-quality initial pre-injection or pre-
production pressure surveys relatively unaffected by pressure gradients applied to the wellbore. Whenever
possible, initial pressures by zone are being obtained with an MDT in new producers, or via downhole
gauges in injectors. Injector data is expected to become increasingly important as the flood matures. Once
development is completed, this becomes the only practical way to collect pressure data on a zonal basis.
An analvsis of the recent ❑ressure data by oolveon follows.
S -Pad North
This polygon contains low -rate jet pump producer 5-201 (offline — packer leak). This is the only polygon
without injection support. Pressure surveys taken over the past few years have shown little change in
pressure, which is in line with minimal offtake from the polygon. During the reporting period, no new
pressures were acquired, as there was no production from the polygon.
S -Pad South
This polygon contains producer 5-213A and is supported by injectors 5-215i, 5-217i and 5-218i. Measured
pressures in this polygon range from 1034 to 2303 psi.
The lowest pressure in the polygon was observed to be injector 5-215i's OA sand. In 2017, a matrix bypass
event was confirmed in the OA sand between producer S -213A and injector 5-2151. The OA sand in injector
5-215i was subsequently isolated by replacing the waterflood regulating valve with a dummy valve, thus
allowing the injector to remain online while remediation options are being evaluated.
W -Pad North
This polygon contains producers W-200, W-201, W-202, W-204, W-205, and W-211 and is supported by
injectors W -209i, W-2121, W -213i, W -214i, W-2151, W -216i, W-2171, W -218i, W -219i, W -220i, W -221i, and
W-2231. Measured pressures in this polygon range from 1494 to 2489 psi.
In July 2013, two new matrix bypass events from the aquifer to producers W-201 and W-202 were
identified. The aforementioned producers and downdip injectors W -220i and W-2231 were taken offline for
the second half of 2013 while remediation options were being evaluated. Subsequent production logging in
W -202's Oba lateral identified the location of the matrix bypass event as well as confirmed W -201's
increased water production was coming from W -202's Oba lateral via what is presumed to be a second
matrix bypass event between the two producers. W -202's matrix bypass event to the aquifer was
remediated in October 2015 by setting a HEX plug in the Oba lateral; W -201's matrix bypass event was
remediated with the same piece of wellwork. The aforementioned remediation was initially deemed a
success, but within two months watercut and water rate were once again increasing in both W-201 and W-
202. The failure mechanism was attributed to a failed swell packer in W -202's Oba lateral. In July 2016, the
toe of W -202's Oba lateral was cemented off and the initial results suggests the matrix bypass remediation
was a success. However, over the course of the last 12 months, liquid rate has increased dramatically
suggesting the remediation has either failed or the matrix bypass event has advanced along the lateral. In
July 2017, the Oba lateral in W-202 was isolated via an isolation sleeve to minimize offtake from the aquifer
MBE. Options to re -treat the matrix bypass event in the Oba lateral of W-202 are being evaluated.
4
W -Pad East
This polygon contains producer W-203 and is supported by injectors W -207i and W -210i. Measured
pressure in the polygon for the Oba sand was 2327 psi.
The pressures on the upper end of the range are typical injection -induced high pressure regions around the
injector, which does not represent a polygon average pressure due to the very slow pressure fall-off.
4. RESULTS AND ANALYSIS OF PRODUCTION & INJECTION LOGGING SURVEYS AND SPECIAL
MONITORING (RULE 9C)
Production Logs:
No production logs were run during the reporting period.
Prior production logs have frequently been adversely affected by well slugging. Future production logging
candidates will be evaluated on a case by case basis.
Well fluids sampling
A well fluids sampling program is ongoing to gather high quality and frequency surveillance data: (1)
Uncontaminated wellhead samples are obtained monthly to quarterly on each producer, and tested for API,
viscosity, WC, and sand quantity. This data helps track changes in production from different sands,
waterflood or MI response, and sanding tendencies. A portion of these samples are later used for
geochemical production allocation analysis. (2) Wellhead samples are analyzed quarterly for water
properties to identify changes between formation water production and waterflood breakthrough. This
data is also useful for identifying matrix bypass events (MBE) because produced water will have similar
properties as injected water. (3) A produced water supply sample is analyzed quarterly to serve as a
baseline for analysis of well production samples. (4) Gas sampling is done monthly or quarterly depending
on WAG activity in the polygon to establish gas chromatography signatures and track returned miscible
injectant (MI).
Geochemical Fingerprinting
This technique has been in use since 1999 in the North Slope viscous oil developments, and has shown
promise in obtaining a snapshot or relative oil flow splits from individual sands. This data is useful in
gauging zonal well performance, identifying problem laterals, and providing a basis by which to optimize
offset injection. Wellhead oil samples are taken on roughly a quarterly basis, or as well performance
changes. Results to date are mixed with reasonable allocations in some wells, but questionable data in
others. Work is ongoing to gather additional baseline oil samples, and improve analysis techniques to
improve data value.
In'ectiJ o
During the reporting period, injection logs were run in W-207 and W-212.
5
On August 13th, 2018, an injection log was run in W-212 to determine the injection splits for the various
sands. The derived splits from the injection log are as follows: Oba 64%, Obc 21%, Obd 15%.
On September 30th, 2018, an injection log was run in W-207 to determine the injection splits for the various
sands. The derived splits from the injection log are as follows: Oba 100%, Obc 0%, Obd 0%.
Injection logs are typically run to quality check waterflood regulating valve performance while in water
service or to determine the distribution of miscible injectant between zones.
Real-time Downhole Pressure Gauges in Iniectors
Monitoring of individual zonal pressures is continuing on all injectors with downhole gauges installed. Real-
time data has confirmed offtake from offset producers, formation and healing of MBE's, pressure
transmission across the OWC, and helped tremendously in identifying underperforming injection zones.
The current Polaris injector basis of design calls for individual zonal pressure gauge installation in all future
injectors.
5. REVIEW OF POOL PRODUCTION ALLOCATION RULE 9D AND REVIEW OF POOL PRODUCTION
ALLOCATION FACTORS AND ISSUES RULE 4 PART D
Polaris production allocation is performed in accordance with the PBU Western Satellite Production
Metering Plan, subject to ongoing review and approved changes. Allocation relies on performance curves
to determine the daily theoretical production from each well. The GC -2 allocation factor is applied to adjust
Polaris production on a daily basis. A minimum of one well test per month is used to check the
performance curves, and to verify system performance, with more frequent testing during new well start-
up and after significant wellwork.
Over the reporting period, the monthly average of daily oil production allocation factors fell within the
range of 0.82 and 1.02 . Any days with allocation factors of zero were excluded. The monthly averages of
daily oil production allocation factors are shown in Table 3. Electronic files containing daily allocation data
and daily test data for a minimum of five years are being retained.
6. PROGRESS OF ENHANCED RECOVERY PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION AND RESERVOIR MANAGEMENT
SUMMARY (RULE 9E)
Enhanced Recovery Proiect - Waterflood:
Primary production from the Polaris oil pool commenced in 1999 and continued until waterflood was
initiated in 2003. The waterflood patterns are designed to maintain reservoir pressure above the bubble
point pressure and as close to the original reservoir pressure as possible. Because of differences in rock and
oil quality, the various sands behave like different reservoirs connected in the same wellbore, thereby
requiring a much higher degree of control in the injectors to manage voidage.
The basis of design for water injectors has evolved to include isolation packers between sands to accurately
control injection rate into the vastly different sands. Injection rate into each zone is controlled by
downhole waterflood regulating valves installed in mandrels adjacent to the target sand. To prevent
freezing, a minimum injection rate of 500 BWIPD is being used for all new waterflood regulating valve
designs. In patterns where the minimum injection rate results in a high voidage replacement ratio, injectors
in the pattern are cycled.
During the reporting period, average injection rate was 7,178 BWIPD. Cumulative injection through June
2019 was 33.6 MMSTBW, which has been injected into 18 water injectors. No new water injectors have
been placed into service during the reporting period.
Enhanced Recovery Proiect - Miscible Infectant:
In 2005, approval to implement an enhanced oil recovery project in Polaris oil pool using Prudhoe Bay
miscible injectant was granted via C.O. 484A. Injection of miscible injectant began in early 2006 in the
downdip portion of W Pad North. The current MI strategy is to inject smaller slugs of miscible injectant to
improve the efficiency of the flood. To date, miscible injectant has been injected in S Pad South, W Pad
North, and W Pad East.
During the reporting period, average injection rate was 4.5 MMSCFD. S Pad MI was down from 3Q 2018 to
1Q 2019 for planned maintenance (mapegaz valve replacement). Cumulative injection through June 2019
was 8.2 BCF, which has been injected into 14 water -alternating -gas injectors. No new water -alternating -gas
injectors have been placed into service during the reporting period.
Reservoir Management Strategy
The objective of the Polaris oil pool reservoir management strategy is to manage reservoir development
and depletion to maximize commercial production consistent with prudent oil field engineering practices.
Key to this is achieving a balanced voidage replacement ratio required to keep reservoir pressure above the
bubble point. Individual floods will be managed with downhole waterflood regulating valves in the
injectors, as well as limited capabilities of reducing offtake in the producers by shutting in or choking
laterals.
Learnings over the last few years have revealed significant differences in productivity and oil mobility
between Schrader Bluff sands. These learnings have led to changes in completion designs and operational
strategies. In addition, the emergence of matrix bypass events has further highlighted the complexity of the
Schrader Bluff sands. It is expected that the reservoir management strategy will continually be evaluated
and revised as appropriate throughout the life of the field.
Matrix Bypass Events:
As described in prior reports, the phenomenon of premature water breakthrough between a producer and
a water source (water injector or aquifer) challenges the North Slope viscous oil developments. These
events appear to have a multitude of probable causes: faults, fractures, matrix short-circuit through high
perm streaks, and what is believed to be the creation of tunnels or "worm holes".
During the reporting period, no new matrix bypass events were identified.
7. RESULTS OF MONITORING TO DETERMINE ENRICHED GAS INJECTANT BREAKTHROUGH TO OFFSET
PRODUCERS (RULE 90
A response to miscible injectant is indicated by an increase in produced gas rate, an increase in formation
gas -oil -ratio, and a reduction in the producing ratio of C1 (methane) to C3 (propane).
7
During the reporting period, no new responses to miscible injectant were observed. To date, in the life of
the field, response to miscible injectant have been observed in the following producers: 5-213A and W-204.
8. Future Development Plans
Future development plans are discussed in the 2019 update to the Plan of Development for the Polaris
Participating Area, which was filed with the Division of Oil and Gas of the Alaska Department of Natural
Resources on September 25th, 2018, a copy of which was provided to the Commission. The Commission will
be copied when the 2020 update of the Polaris Plan of Development is filed with the Division.
