Dear Mr. Winegarner:
Our representative visited the above locations on September 23, 1992 and
found that the marker posts contained the correct data and were in place,
locations were clear of materials and debris, and pits had been filled and
graded, and that the locations appeared to be in stable condition.
Location clearance is hereby approved for the above listed ARCO wells.
Sincerely,

Sunda-~ 8-23-92 I flew to Arco's remote exploratory locatic,~t Ci_rque~lX
to perform a location inspection on Cirqu.e~lX (relief well.') .for surface
abandcmment,
I found the location to be very clean with no evidence of trash ov
drilling debris~ The marker was of proper size and construction with the
following information bead welded on it:ARCO ALASKA INC.
Cirque$}lX ADL375076
15FNL, 'l. 855FEL
SEC20: T9N, R7E, t~l
One area that needs to be addressed is the path of the now thawed ice
road between Tarnq~l and this location. It appears that the edge markers
were left behind a~d I feet that before full cleacance c:an be grm-,ted.
these markers should be removed~
IN Sb%IMMIY: Cirque~lx has been cleaned up and I could fi,id no ovider, c:e
of contamination oz trash left from thez~-'=.~o The markers left behind
from the ice road still need to be removed before clearance can be
granted,
Doug Amos reports the markers have been revoved, therefore location
clearance can ge granted.

Cirque #1X
No geo-pressured zones were encountered while drilling the well.
All significant hydrocarbon zones are covered with cement by the primary cement jobs on three
strings of casing which were set in the well.
Current Status 3/4/92
Cirque 81X was drilled as a relief well for Cirque 81 which experienced a shallow gas blowout on
¥~/12/92. The Cirque 81X had 13-3/8" surface casing set at 525' MD or 519' TVD with cement
circulated to surface. A 9-5/8" intermediate casing string was set at 1769' MD or 1498' TVD
with cement successfully circulated to surface.
The well was drilled to a TD of 2709' MD or 2399' TVD with 7" casing run from surface to 2692'
MD. The 7" casing was cemented but returns were lost before cement was circulated to surface.
However, 162 bbls of cement had been pumped around the shoe before returns were lost which
more than covered the open hole interval from 2692' MD to the 9-5/8" intermediate shoe at 1769'
MD. A 600 sx (207 bbl) Arctic Sett III cement downsqueeze was also performed after the primary
cement job to fill up the 7" x 9-5/8" annulus to surface with cement.
The Cirque 81X was not required as a relief well because the Cirque 81 was successfully killed on
2/29/92 by pumping mud down the drill pipe still remaining in Cirque 81. Cirque 81X has
remained unperforated. Doyon Rig ~ moved off Cirque 81X on 3/7/92 and successfully plugged
Cirque 81.
Prm3osed P&A Procedure
NOTE: Notify AOGCC so their representative can witness surface plug.
1 ) Rig up Halliburton Logging Services E-Ii'ne unit. Set bridge plug in 7" 298 casing at 160'
from surface.
Rig up Dowell cementing unit. Run 1" line down 7" casing to bridge plug at 160'. Circulate
Arctic ,Set I cement from bridge plug to surface. (160' of 7" = 37 sx of 0.93 yield AS I
cement)
Dig out, chip out cellar to appx. 4' below tundra level. (Casing needs to be cut at least 3'
below tundra level so thickness of ice pad needs to be taken into consideration)
Cut 20" conductor, 13-3/8", 9-5/8" and 7" casing strings at 3' below tundra level.
Remove casing stubs, wellhead, etc. and send in for reconditioning.
Weld cap across top of 20" conductor.
Weld P&A marker post to cap. Top of post is to be from 4' to 6' above original ground level.
The following information should be bead welded onto marker post:

Wildcat
Monday, Februarv~, 19.92 I left my house at 5:45AM for check-in
at Alaska Air at 6:00AM. I left Anchorage at 6:55AM by Alaska Air,
arriving in Prudhoe at 8:30AM and arriving at Cirque #1 command
post at 12:30PM. I talked to on-site incident commander Kirk
White, planning section chief Mike Winfree, Jack Warr, alt. G.W.
Craig and logistics section chief Eddie Vaughn. The well
"Cirque ~1" was blowing about 6 million cubic feet per day
according to their estimates at Doyon 14. At Doyon 9,Cirque ~X,
relief well,13 3/8 CSG had been run, cemented and tested before I
arrived on location. I called and informed Lonnie Smith of
problems and progress to kill Cirque #1 blowout.
Tuesday,..Februarv 25,~ 1992 From 2:30AM to 4:30AM, I witnessed the
BOP test. From ll:30AM to 12:00PM, I witnessed upper and lower
kelly tested. Today the spool for the diverter washed out on
Cirque #1 blowout. Twenty to thirty million cubic feet of gas was
blowing out with quite a bit of dark brown sand. I talked these
figures over with the command center officials. I talked about the
diverter lines also, schedule 80 pipe was used. I called the
Commission in the morning and afternoon.
wednesday, February.26, 199~ I witnessed another pressure test to
2000 psi for 30 minutes of the 13 3/8" casing-down to 425'. Test
was from 9:50AM to IO:20AM and was satisfactory. Drilling through
13 3/8 shoe was performed at 3:00PH. Well still blowing hard at
Doyon 14, Cirque #1 blowout. I called the Commission both morning
and night on progress and problems.
Thursday, February 27, .1992 Not blowing sand as much but still
blowing at 6:00AM 50 or 60 million according to command center's
estimate. The 9 5/8 relief hole was completed at 12:30PM;
1780' MD; 1437 TVD. I attended a meeting from 7:00PM to 8:00PM on
plans AAI was going to use in well killing proceedures, ect. I
called the Commission twice.
02-00lA (Rev. 6/89)
20/11/MEMO1.PM3
Friday, February 28, 1.9.9.2 I went to the command center for
Cirque #1 blowout at 6:00AM. The 9 5/8 was run and cemented to
surface with good returns at 4:00AM. I called Lonnie Smith and
informed him at 10:30AM on progress. At 2:30PM to 3:00PM I
witnessed the BOP test on Doyon 9 particularly on the extra spool
that was added and pipe rams that were changed; the annular, 3 HCR
valves, stack body and choke body, all tested okay. AAI is going
to drill out 8.5" hole tomorrow.
Saturday, February 29, .1992 AAI Cirque #1 blowout is girgling,but'.~
no sand and very little gas. Plans have changed overnight. New
pipe was run and hooked up with T I W valve to heavy wall pipe that
was in hole at 775'. Kill MW was l!.4#/gal., 1000 bbls BBLS
followed by MW 10.5#/gal. and MW 10.0#/gal.. Total 3225 bbls. +
about 45 bbls CA/CL2. This was started and pumped on February
1992, from 11:20AM to 2:30PM. Well is dead. I witnessed 9 5/8
casing in hole for 30 minutes with no leak off at 3000 psi, 1786'
MD and 1388 TVD. AAI Cirque #1X drilling started on the 8.5 hole
at approximately 8:00PM.
Sunday, March 1, 1992 The 8.5 relief hole is drilled to within 1
or 2 feet of target of 2100 feet at AAI Cirque hole #1 blowout.
Now coming out of hole to change direction tools and go back to
bottom to find wellbore of Cirque #1. I went over to Doyon 14 with
Gary Martin, AAI Co. man, and took some pictures of Cirque #1
blowout and equipment. After trying for another 8 hours, the
directional driller did not find Cirque #1 annulus.
Monday, March 2, 1992 I went to Cirque command center and talked
to Kirk White, incident commander. They are coming out of the hole
at Cirque #1X and will run 7" casing, then cement, and try to drill
out as close as they can to Cirque #1 and pump cement down Cirque
#1X, thru the formation and into #1 at the bottom to plug it
(Cirque #1). I left Cirque location at 6;00AM.
In summary, AAI and Cirque operation groups were environmentally
and safety conscious. I went over their plans with them and was
very pleased.

Cirque. Well #1 Intercept/P & n Plan
3/1/92
Note' This well plan is contingent on the intersection of'Cirque Well #1
with Cirque #IX relief well.
!) Directionally drill Cirque IX relief well to intercept Cirque gl at 2,100'
TVD.
"~ 2) Note intercept depth. Continue to drill and cleanout to Cirque gl TD at
2,415' TVD. ,
From intercept point to TD of Cirque glX monitor Cirque gl fluid height
for signs of communication between well bores.
·
·
At TD, make wiper trip to 9-5/8" casing shoe. RIH to TD and drop
single shot survey. POH.
·
4) Stand back B HA and RIH with open ended 5" drill pipe to TD. Circulate.
DP volume of mud.
5) Spot a 410 bbl balanced cement plug using 2000 sks Class G with 2% S-
I (CaC12), .2% D-46 (anti-foam), and 1/4 lb/sk D-29 (LCM) premium
cement. Use drill pipe wiper dart.
Yield = 1.17 ft3/s
Density = 15.8 ppg
4 hrs 10 min pump time @ B HCT = 70°F and B HST = 50°F
Compressive strengths:
230 psi @ 12 hrs

Dear Mr. Morgan:
Enclosed is the approved application for permit to drill the above
referenced well.
The permit to drill does not exempt you from obtaining additional
permits required by law from other governmental agencies, and does not
authorize conducting drilling operations until all other required
permitting determinations are made.
Blowout prevention equipment (BOPE) must be tested in accordance with
20 AAC 25.035. Sufficient notice (approximately 24 hours) of the BOPE
test performed before drilling below the surface casing shoe must be
given so that a representative of the Commission may witness the test.
Notice may be given by contacting the Commission petroleum field
inspector on the North Slope Pager at 659-3607.

Re:
Application for Permit to Drill
ARCO Cirque #1X (Relief Well)
Dear Commissioner Johnston,
ARCO Alaska, Inc. hereby applies for a Permit to Drill an onshore well, the ARCO Cirque
#1X, on State lands near the western boundary of the Kuparuk River Unit. This well will be
a relief well for the Cirque #1 which had a blowout on 2/12/92.
The proposed surface location is 1000' north of the blowout well. ARCO will be using Doyon
Drilling, Inc.'s Rig 9 to drill this relief well.
ARCO Alaska, Inc. as operator of the exploration well Cirque #1X, requests exemption for
Hydrogen Sulfide measures. No hydrogen sulfide was detected on the mud log while drilling
Cirque #1 prior to and during the blowout. No formations containing hydrogen sulfide are
expected to be encountered in this relief well. The total depth for the well is 2877' MD or
2500' TVD' which will penetrate the K-10 formation.
Enclosed find the information required by 20 AAC 25.005(c).
If you have questions or require any additional information, please contact Tim Billingsley at
265-6575 or myself at 263-4970 in our Anchorage office.

CIRQUE #1X
DISCUSSION
The Cirque #1 well blew out while making a trip out of the hole in preparation to run 9-
5/8" surface casing. TD of the well was 2415'. A mud weight of 9.4 ppg was sufficient to
drill to this depth without observing any well flow. However, the subsequent blowout on a
trip out of the hole indicates that the formation gradient is very close to 9.4 ppg.
Mud Icg information and a MWD gamma ray/resistivity Icg on Cirque #1 indicate the K-10
sand at 2350' TVD is probably the source of the gas blowout. There are also some West Sak
sands from 1700' to 1850' TVD which may be contributing to the gas flow.
The Cirque #1X relief well will drill with 8.6 to 9.5 ppg mud to 500' TVD and set 13-3/8"
surface casing. The intermediate hole will also be drilled with 9.4 to 9.6 ppg to 1500' TVD
and 9-5/8" casing will be set. These mud weights should minimize the chance of losing
returns into the blowout wellbore at a shallow depth.
The production hole below the 9-5/8" shoe at 1500' TVD will be drilled with 10.0 ppg mud.
If the two wellbores communicate at this time, the 10.0 ppg mud should circulate into the
blowout wellbore and kill the gas flow. At all times while drilling the relief well, pumping
equipment and large quantities of mud will be on site in order to pump down the drill string
should communication (lost returns) occur. The BOP stack includes a spool which will have
lines rigged up to auxiliary pumps to augment the rig's pumping capacity.
The relief well will be directional drilled from 1000' away from the blowout well. An "S"
shaped wellbore will provide close proximity between the two wellbores from the highest
possible gas zones in the West Sak to TD. If no communication results while drilling the
relief well, 7" casing will be set at TD of 2500' TVD. The K-10 at 2350' TVD will be
perforated and mud pumped into the K-10 in an attempt to kill the blowout well. If this is
not successful, the relief well may be plugged back and a similar procedure performed in the
West Sak.

Procedure for Calculatino Anticipated Surface Pressure ('ASP)
_
ASP is determined as the lesser of 1) surface pressure at breakdown of the
formation at the casing seat with a gas gradient to the surface, or 2) formation pore
pressure at the next casing point less a gas gradient to the surface as follows:
1) ASP = [(FG x 0.052)- 0.11]D
where:
ASP = Anticipated Surface Pressure in psi
FG = Fracture Gradient at the casing seat in lb/gal
0.052 -- Conversion from lb/gal to psi/ft
0.11 = Gas gradient in psi/ft
D = True vertical depth of casing seat in ft RKB
2) ASP: FPP - (0.11 x D)
where' FPP = Formation Pore Pressure at the next casing point

A. Spud Mud (To 13-3/8" Casing Point)
Build 400 bbl new mud with funnel viscosity to 80-100 sec/qt (15-35 YP) and maintain as
needed for effective hole cleaning in gravel zones. Maintain a pH of 9.0-10.0 with caustic
soda or soda ash. Allow viscosity to come down as hole cleaning requirements are reduced
to accommodate finer shaker screens. Funnel viscosities of 50-80 sec/qt should be
adequate below the initial gravel zones. Run all solids control equipment to reduce solids
content. Thin mud back to less than 20 YP before cementing surface casing.
B. Spud Mud (13-3/8" csg. shoe to 9-5/8" casing shoe)
Treat out any cement contamination with Bicarb. Keep YP in 30 range to ensure hole
cleaning during directional work. Lower YP to 10-12 for cementing. Pre-treat for any
contamination.
C. Lightly Dispersed Mud (9-5/8" shoe to total depth)
Treat out any cement contamination immediately with Bicarb. Run pH at 9.5-10.0 to help
activate the lignites, etc. Before drilling out, lightly treat with CF Unical (1/2 ppb.)
Before drilling out with a higher mud weight, (10.0 ppg or higher), consider treating with
6-8 ppb Check-Loss to eliminate potential losses during the last interval. Maintain YP @
8-12 to keep hole clean, Gels @ 4+ to suspend Barite.
