RESERVOIR SURVEILLANCE REPORT
RE: CONSERVATION ORDER NO. 478A
HISTORY AND SUMMARY
AS OF 12/31/13
BACKGROUND
Aurora Gas, LLC re-entered and side-tracked the abandoned Texaco Nicolai
Creek Unit (NCU) No. 1A in 2002 and completed the well in three Upper Tyonek sands,
the Carya 2-4.2 at 3137-3157' TVD, the Carya 2-5.1 at 3307-3348' TVD, and the Carya
2-6.1 at 3506-3521' TVD. These intervals were commingled upon completion and tested
with an AOF of 3.1 MMCfpd. Unfortunately, in spite of free -hanging sand control
screens in the completion string, the well produced water and sand along with the gas,
and, consequently, produced very little gas for sales to date. Unable to control the sand
production by surface means, the well was recompleted in June of 2006: 1) plugging off
the Carya 2-6 sand, from which the sand and much of the water was being produced (as
evidenced by sand fill and a "sand -blasted" hole in the screen at that depth), 2) adding
perforations to the Carya 2-3 sands at 2783-2864' TVD, the Carya 2-2.2 sands at 2550-
2568' TVD, the Carya 2-2.1 sands at 2426-2434' TVD, and the Carya 2-1.2 sands at
2254-2316' TVD, and 3) completing selectively (see attached well bore diagram). As of
December 2006, the Carya 2-3 to the Carya 2-1.2 sands were mechanically open and
producing (perfs at 2307-2918' MD), and the deeper sands, 2-4 to 2-5 (perfs at 3191-
3401' MD) were opened in October 2010 following a chemical sand control treatment.
All these perfs are open have been producing since, with some sand possibly covering
some of the lower perfs. However, the well has produced 397.2 MMcf through
12/31/13, most of which has come from the upper completions.
The NCU No. 2 well was also re-entered by Aurora Gas in 2002 and re -
completed into the Upper Tyonek Carya 2-1.1 sand at 2141-2177' TVD, the Carya 2-1.2
sand at 2342-2354', and the Carya 2-2.1 sand at 2493-2511' TVD. These commingled
intervals tested for a calculated AOF potential of 14.6 MMcfpd. A production facility
and gathering line were constructed in 2003 and the well started producing to sales
December 2003. The well was recompleted in September- October of 2013 with a
selective completion, going back to the original (Texaco) zone, the Carya 2-2.3 at 3268-
88' and 3324-36' MD and opening new zones, the Carya 2-1.0 at 2312-22' MD and the
Lower Beluga at 2198-2212' and 2244-60'. The shallower two zones were commingled
but not put on production until a Commingling -Spacing Order was approved early in
2014. The well has produced 803.5 MMcf since the re-entry thru 12/31/13.
The NCU No. 9 was drilled on the same pad as the two directional wells above in
2003 to capture reserves behind two strings of pipe in the two old wells. It was
completed in a Beluga Tsuga 2-7 interval at 1320-1447' TVD/MD (now the Middle
Completion). This well tested yielding at calculated AOF potential of 49.1 MMcfpd. It
also started producing to sales in December 2003. Because this completion had depleted
significantly, a recompletion adding additional Tsuga 2-8, 2-7, and 2-6 sands from 1148-
1904' was completed in September 2006. The well produced 326 MMcf from the Lower
Completion at 1552-1904' (9 different Tsuga 2-7 and 2-8 sands) between the
recompletion in October 2006 and October 2008. In October 2008, the pressure of this
Lower Completion had declined to near that of the Middle Completion, so the sliding
sleeves for the Middle Completion were opened, allowing both the Middle and Lower
Completions to produce commingled. In August 2012, these two lower producing
intervals were closed off, and the Upper Completion, Beluga Tsuga 2-6, was opened to
production. On January 31, 2013, al zones were opened to commingle production as
pressures were nearly equalized. The well has produced a total of 2537.7 MMcf (2.5
BCF) thru 12/31/13, of which 551.0 MMcf is allocated to the Lower Completion, 1762.9
MMcf to the Middle Completion, and 223.9 MMcf to the Upper Completion.
NOTE: All three of the above well are on the same pad, with the #IB and #2 being
directional, so all have the same ground level elevation (22' AMSL) and nearly the same
KB/DF elevation, so TVD's are very nearly TVDss and, thus, almost directly correlative.
NCU #11—The Nicolai Creek Unit #I 1 well was drilled in September 2009 to a depth of
3600' (MD/TVD) and was completed on October 6, 2009, in 14 Beluga sands and 2
Upper Tyonek sands isolated by packers and sliding sleeves into 4 selective completions.
The well was tested in the commingled completions in the Beluga Lower Tsuga 2-7 and
2-8 interval from 1736-2099' TVD and in the Upper Tyonek Carya 2-1 interval at 2260-
2362'. These commingled intervals were tested (4 -point) to give an CAOF of 5466
mcfpd with a static pressure of 924 psia (909 psig) at a datum of 2049' TVD (-2033'
TVD SS). Production was initiated from the Tyonek Carya 2-1 completion in December
2009, and the well produced 11,281 mcf that month. Following commingling approval,
the well produced from the Beluga and Tyonek perfs at 1736-23621, sometimes
selectively, sometimes commingled. Two shallower selective completions were briefly
tested upon completion and are thought to be productive, but were not produced until the
Upper Middle Completion (Beluga Tsuga 2-6 with perfs between 1349- and 1675') was
opened in September 2011. (The Upper Completion, Beluga Tsuga 2-5 and 2-6 with
perfs at 920-1216', was tested in early 2013 and found to produced water with sand, so it
has not produced to sales). The Upper Middle Completion has produced most of the time
since being opened, sometimes commingled production with the Lower (Tyonek)
Completion. The Lower Completion makes sand and fill has been cleaned out with
coiled tubing twice, in June of 2011 and in 2013. The production when commingled is
allocated back to each zone on the basis of production tests when each zone is producing
by itself. The well produced 1043.2 MMcf through 12/31/2013: 321.6 MMcf allocated
to the Upper Middle Completion, 491.2 MMcf allocated to the Lower Middle (Beluga)
Completion and 230.4 MMcf allocated to the Lower (Tyonek) Completion.
CONSERVATION ORDER NO. 478A REQUIREMENTS
This Order issued October 16, 2003, by the AOGCC has three items pertaining to
reservoir surveillance at Nicolai Creek Unit wells No. 113, No. 2, and No.9, requiring:
1) (#3) Initial reservoir pressures,
2) (#4) Annual monitoring of reservoir pressures, and
3) (#5) Annual reservoir surveillance reports.
INITIAL RESERVOIR PRESSURES
Form 10-412's for both Pools (Nicolai Creek—South undesignated and Nicolai
Creek—Beluga) for 2002 and 2003, show initial reservoir pressures. The initial
reservoir pressures for #1B and #2 were obtained by bottom -hole pressure surveys (No.
1B and 2) and confirmed by quartz -crystal surface pressures extrapolated to subsea
datum. These initial pressures were: #1B-1625 psig at -3293' TVDss, and #2-1025
psig at -2285' TVDss. The #9 well was taken by quartz -crystal surface pressure recorder
and was confirmed by open -hole MDT measurements—it was 673 psig at -1348' TVDss.
Subsequent work, i.e., the 2006 recompletions of #1B and #9, added the following
original pressures: #1 B-1211 psig at -2537' TVDss (commingled currently open perfs
of Carya 2-2.1 to the 2-3 at 2480'- 2918' MD) and in #9-666 psig at -1706' TVDss
(Lower Completion). The drilling of the #11 well in 2009 gave additional pressure
information: it was tested in the commingled completions in the Beluga Lower Tsuga 2-7
and 2-8 interval from 1736-2099' TVD and in the Upper Tyonek Carya 2-1 interval at
2260-2362' with a static pressure of 924 psia (909 psig) at a datum of 2049' TVD
(-2033' TVD SS).
ANNUAL MONITORING OF RESERVOIR PRESSURES
Attached are Form 10-412's for both Pools (Nicolai Creek—South undesignated
and Nicolai Creek—Beluga) for 2013, showing annual reservoir pressures, along with
some comments. Surface pressures have been used exclusively for annual pressures after
initial pressures in Wells #2 and #9, which have made very little water, so they are
consistently in single-phase condition. Surface pressures in #1B and #11 may be affected
by some minor buildup of water in the wellbore, but no bottom -hole pressures were
obtained in 2013. Note that due to the recompletions of #1B and #9 in 2006 and the
subsequent production of different intervals, the datum TVDss's for these wells have
changed since the 2006 submittals. Note also that the #11 well is included in these 10-412
reports although it is in an different PA (West the Lower Middle (Beluga) completion
is included in the Beluga Pool report and the Lower (Tyonek) Completion is included
with the South Undesignated Pool.
The reservoir pressure survey data and production data from the four producing wells
have been plotted to yield P/Z vs. Cumulative Production curves, providing a material -
balance projection of reserves. Those plots (using Ryder Scott Excel templates) are
attached—there are seven.. These show the #113 having an EUR of 654 MMcf from
commingled from all the perfs, of which 397 MMcf were produced thru 12/31/13. The
#2 is shown to have an EUR of 1069 MMcf, from the original Aurora Gas completion,
of which 803 MMcf had produced thru 12/31/13—however, no additional reserves are
expected to be recovered from these perfs due to sub -commercial production. With the
recompletion, volumetric reserves of about 200 MMcf are expected. The Middle
Completion of the #9 is given an EUR of 2063 MMcf, of which 1763 MMcf had
produced thru 12/31/13—this interval is now commingled with the Lower Completion,
which is shown to have an EUR of 628 MMcf, of which 551 MMcf were produced thru
12/31/13, and with the Upper Completion, with an EUR of 311 MMcf of which 224
MMcf have produced. The commingled Lower (Tyonek) and Lower Middle (Beluga)
completions in the #11 are shown to have an EUR of 976 MMcf by the P/Z plot, of which
722 MMcf were produced thru 12/31/13. The Upper Middle Completion in #11 has an
EUR of 686 MMcf of which 322 MMcf has produced thru 12/31/13.
The recompletion of the NCU #1B in June 2006 provided additional pressure information
of some of the Upper Tyonek Carya sands that have been producing in the #2 well. This
pressure data from the tests indicates that there is no depletion of these zones in the No.
1 B from the No. 2 production. In particular, the Carya 2-1.1, 2-1.2, and 2-2.1 are
commingled in the #2 and had an initial SIBBP at -2285' TVDss of 1025 psig. The
comparable zones in the #1B, commingled 2-2.1 and 2-2.2 and the 2-1.2 had bottom -hole
SIP'S estimated at 1045 and 1040 psig at datum of -2484' and -2272' TVDss, both are
close to the original pressure in #2 and much higher than the then most recent SIBHP's of
293 psig at -2285'. This indicates that there is a geological barrier and no communication
between the two well bores.
POOL PRODUCTION ALLOCATION FACTORS
The production from NCU 1B, 2, 9, and 11 is metered several times and allocated
back to each well on the basis of these meters. Each of the three wells has an individual
separator into which the well flows, eliminating any free water from the flow stream, then
immediately downstream of the separators, each well is individually metered. The flow
from the three wells may be combined at this point and then compressed before going
thm the glycol dehydration system. (Booster compression has been added, so the lower
pressured wells can be selectively compressed before going to the main compressor).
After dehydration, the combined flow from these three wells is metered again before
going into the gathering system. The gathering system takes the gas to the CIGGS Meter
6103/8103 where it is joined by the flow from NCU #3 and 410 upstream of the sales
meter. It is metered before being commingled into flow going into the Marathon -
operated CIGGS pipeline system. The total sales volume through this meter is allocated
back to each well proportionally based on the individual well meter volume divided by
the sum of all the wells meters' volumes minus lease -use gas, where lease -use (fuel) gas
is allocated proportionately to each well at a facility.
RESERVOIR DEVELOPMENT AND DEPLETION PLANS
NCU 113—This deeper intervals in this well were treated with the Weatherford
chemical "Sand Aid" in 2011, and the Upper completions (Carya 2-1 thru 2-3) were
treated with Sand Aid in October of 2012. These treatments seemed to remedy the sand
production, reduced the water production, but may have hurt gas production. The well
produced 20 MMcf in 2013, producing intermittently. It was producing about 125 mcfpd
in December 2013. No additional work is planned in this well.
NCU #2—This well is sometimes produced with a booster compressor, giving it 3
stages of compression, but at this point is hasn't increased the rate significantly. It
produced only 13.9 MMcf in 2013, but the recompletion into the shallower Beluga and
Carya 2-1.0 have increased the production—it produced 260 mcfpd in June 2014.
NCU #9—This well produced from the commingled Upper, Lower, and Middle
completions when pressures equalized in early 2013, by opening the sliding sleeve
isolating those perfs. This well produced 162 MMcf in 2013. It produced about 325
mcfpd thm the booster compressor in December 2013.
Following the 2006 recompletion workover, this well bore still has 8 potential
Beluga Tsuga 2-5 and 2-6 sands between 668' and 1054' that have apparent gas
production potential. These sands were not completed at the time of the 2006
recompletion workover for 2 reasons: 1) the large pressure differential expected between
these shallow sands and the deeper ones, and 2) the cement bond log indicates a top of
cement at 840', so remedial cementing will be required for the shallower sand
completions. Thus, at least one more recompletion workover is expected in the life of
this well bore. This wellbore is also being considered for gas storage (Middle
Completion, which is a high-quality reservoir) and would give an additional 2 BCF
capacity to a storage project.
NCU #11—This well has 4 completions, which were be opened selectively and
produced as needed to meet market demand. However, the Upper Completion produced
sand and water when opened in January 2013. The Upper Middle Completion, however,
was opened in September 201 land has produced through April 2013,when the Lower
(Tyonek) Completion was cleaned out The Lower Completion produces sand with small
volumes of water and was cleaned out with coiled tubing in 2011, early 2012, and April
2013, but sanded off again by October. At that time, a tubing leak was found, allowing
the Upper Middle completion to be producing (and believed to be the source of much of
the sand fill) --a tubing patch was run across it in early 2014. Much of the production in
2013 came from the Lower Middle completion, found to be open in October 2013 and
left open. This well produced 122 MMcf in 2013, currently making 100-200 mcfpd. The
well will be cleaned out again with coiled tubing in 2014.
Depending upon market demand and storage development, a shallow
development well on the 1-2-9 pad may be drilled to recover the shallower reserves in the
#9 well, both those in the Upper Completion and the shallower undeveloped sands. This
would facilitate the use of the very good quality Middle Completion reservoirs for
storage and would eliminate the need for an expensive recompletion workover to access
the shallowest reserves.
Beyond the above mentioned development, no additional development of either Pool is
anticipated, as the Pools (and PA's) are now outlined.
RESERVOIR PRESSURE MAP AT DATUM
Because each well had its individual reservoirs, a reservoir pressure map at datum
seems to be irrelevant. However, now that there are some common sands open in the
#1B, #2, and #11 it may have more relevance, although the sands are apparently not
continuous between wells. Attached is a pressure maps of the Nicolai Creek --South
Undesignated Pool and the Nicolai Creek—Beluga Pool, showing initial and current
pressures at the several pertinent subsea Data.
