Our adopted conventions for assigning AP! numbers, permit numbers and well names did not specifically address expired or cancelled permits. This omission has caused some inconsistencies in the treatment of these kinds of applications for permit to ddil. Operators have asked us to adopt formal procedures for this class of permit application in order to prevent future database disparities. If a permit expires or is cancelled by an operator, the permit number of the subject permit will remain unchanged. The APl number and in some instances the well name reflect the number of preexisting reddils and or multilaterais in a well. In order to prevent confusing a cancelled or expired permit with an active well or multilateral these case sensitive well identifiers will be changed for expired and cancelled applications for permits to ddll. The AP! number for this cancelled or expired permit is modified so the eleven and twelfth digits is 95. The well name for a cancelled or expired permit is modified with an appended xx. These procedures are an addendum to the APl numbering methods described in AOGCC staff memorandum "Multi-lateral (weiibore segment) Ddiling Permit Procedures, revised December 29, 1995. AOGCC database has been changed to reflect these changes to this permit. Statistical Technician ALASKA OIL AND GAS CONSERVATION COMMISSION WALTER J.

Attached is a list of outstanding Permits to Drill issued to your engineering group (permits for which no form 10-407 has been received by this office). Please review this list to determine if any of the wells were drilled in 1993. If so, please note the well name, total measured depth, and class (development, service or exploratory). If any wells were drilling as of 12/31/93, estimate the depth at 12:00.midnight. We would appreciate your reply by the end of January if possible. Thank you for your cooperation with this project. If I may be of any assistance, please call me at 279-1433.

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.

Maximum anticipated surface pressure is calculated using a surface casing leak-off of 13.5 ppg EMW and a gas gradient of 0.11 psi/ft. This shows that formation breakdown would occur before a surface pressure of 2400 psi could be reached. Therefore, ARCO Alaska, Inc. will test the BOP equipment to 3000 psi. The nearest well to 3R-16 is 3R-17. As designed, the minimum distance between the two wells would be 24' @ 120' MD. The wells would diverge from that point. Incidental fluids developed from drilling operations will be hauled to the nearest permitted disposal well or will be pumped down the surface/production casing annulus of the last well drilled. That annulus will be left with a non-freezing fluid during any extended shut down (> 4hr) in pumping operations. The annulus will be sealed with 175 sx of cement followed by arctic pack upon completion of fluid pumping. *Spud mud should be adjusted to a FV between 100-120 sec/qt to drill gravel beds.
