Re: Order waiving and modifying certain
requirements of 20 AAC 25.280 concerning Well
Work Operations, Sundry Application and
Reporting Requirements.
IT APPEARING THAT:
Docket Number: CO -17-008
Conservation Order 735
Colville River Field
Alpine Oil Pool
Fiord Oil Pool
Nanuq Oil Pool
Qannik Oil Pool
June 12, 2018
1. On its own motion, the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (AOGCC) proposed to
waive and modify certain requirements of 20 AAC 25.280 concerning Well Work Operations,
Sundry Application and Reporting Requirements for defined oil pools in the Colville River
Field (CRF).
2. The four oil pools defined in the CRF are:
Alpine Oil Pool
Fiord Oil Pool
Nanuq Oil Pool
Qannik Oil Pool
Conservation Order 443B
Conservation Order 562
Conservation Order 569
Conservation Order 605
3. Pursuant to 20 AAC 25.540, the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (AOGCC)
scheduled a public hearing for April 20, 2017. On March 12, 2017, the AOGCC published
notice of the opportunity for that hearing on the State of Alaska's Online Public Notice website,
on the AOGCC's website, electronically transmitted the notice to all persons on the AOGCC's
email distribution list, and mailed printed copies of the notice to all persons on the AOGCC's
mailing distribution list. On March 12, 2017, the AOGCC published the notice in the
ALASKA DISPATCH NEWS.
4. No protests to the proposal were filed with the AOGCC and no public request for a hearing
was made.
5. One comment was received in support of AOGCC's proposed action.
Conservation Order 735
June 7, 2018

6. The AOGCC held the hearing as noticed.
FINDINGS:
1. Under 20 AAC 25.280(a) operators are required to file an Application for Sundry Approvals
(Form 10-403) and receive approval prior to performing well workovers (i.e., perforating or
reperforating casing, stimulation, pulling tubing, altering casing, and repairing wells) on any
well.
2. Under 20 AAC 25.280(d) operators are required to file a Report of Sundry Well Operations
(Foran 10-404), including supporting documentation, within 30 days after completing
workover operations.
3. Work within the production casing/liner or the production tubing is generally standard and
routine in development and service wells in the CRF pools. However, some routine work
within service wells requires additional monitoring due to the requirements of the Underground
Injection Control ("UIC") Program delegated to the AOGCC by EPA.
4. Alteration of casing which provides a physical barrier between the wellbore and the subsurface
formations in development and service wells is not routine and does not warrant waiving the
requirement of advance approval.
5. Well workovers on development wells in the CRF pools generally do not call for additional
monitoring beyond that imposed by regulation.
6. Injection well workover operations frequently call for additional scrutiny, including
mechanical integrity tests and cement quality logs.
CONCLUSIONS:
1. Modifying or waiving the requirements of 20 AAC 25.280(a) for development wells in the
CRF pools is based on sound engineering and geoscience principles, will not promote
waste, jeopardize correlative rights, or result in an increased risk of fluid movement into
freshwater.
2. Modifying or waiving the requirements of 20 AAC 25.280(a) for service wells in the CRF
pools is based on sound engineering and geoscience principles, will not promote waste,
jeopardize correlative rights, or result in an increased risk of fluid movement into
freshwater.

Page 3
3. Modifying or waiving the requirements of 20 AAC 25.280(a) for service wells in the CRF
pools comports with the requirements of the Class II UIC program.
4. Increased regulatory scrutiny for those wells reported to the AOGCC in compliance with
the Sustained Casing Pressure Rules (CO 495) is appropriate.
5. Increased regulatory scrutiny for any well with compromised ability to contain pressure is
appropriate.
6. Increased regulatory scrutiny for work to repair casing (20 AAC 25.280(a)(4)) is
appropriate.
7. The Attachment sets out the sundry approval and reporting requirements for frequently
performed well operations in the CRF pools.
NOW, THEREFORE IT IS ORDERED THAT:
In addition to the statewide regulatory requirements not superseded by this order, the following
rules apply to the affected areas established in Conservation Order 443B (Alpine Oil Pool),
Conservation Order 562 (Fiord Oil Pool), Conservation Order 569 (Nanuq Oil Pool), and
Conservation Order 605 (Qannik Oil Pool).
Rule 1
Except as provided in Rules 4 and 5, submission of an Application for Sundry Approvals (Form
10-403) and supporting documentation for workover activities described in 20 AAC 25.280(a) is
waived or modified for development wells, as provided in the Attachment.
Rule 2
Except as provided in Rules 4 and 5, submission of an Application for Sundry Approvals (Form
10-403) and supporting documentation for workover activities described in 20 AAC 25.280(a) is
waived or modified for service wells, as provided in the Attachment
Rule 3
z
The Attachment summarizing the sundry approval and reporting requirements applies to
operations in the specific well types.
Rule 4
The waivers provided under Rule 1 above do not apply to wells that are required to be reported to
the AOGCC under the provisions of the Sustained Casing Pressure Rule in Conservation Order
495.
Conservation Order 735
June 7, 2018
Page 4
Rule 5
The AOGCC reserves the right to require an Application for Sundry Approvals for a particular
well or for a particular operation on any well.
Rule 6
Nothing in this order precludes filing an Application for Sundry Approvals (Form 10-403) in
advance of any well work.
Rule 7
Unless notice and public hearing are otherwise required, the AOGCC may administratively waive
or amend the requirements of any rule stated above or administratively amend the Attachment, as
long as the change does not promote waste or jeopardize correlative rights, is based on sound
engineering and geoscience principles, and will not result in an increased risk of fluid movement
into freshwater.
Rule 8
The Attachment applies while CPAI is the operator of the Colville River Field.
Rule 9
No change of operator will be effective until the current operator requests the AOGCC to amend
this order to change the name of the operator and the AOGCC approves the required designation
of operator form.

RE: Request for Reconsideration
Conservation Order No. 261A, Kuparuk River Field, North Slope, AK
Conservation Order No. 735, Colville River Field, North Slope, AK
Dear Commissioners:
JUL 0 2 2018
AOGCC
ConocoPhillips Alaska, Inc. ("ConocoPhillips") appreciates the effort the Commission has put into the
issuance of CO Nos. 261A and 735 for Well Work Operations (attached), Sundry Applications and
Reporting Requirements. To address three minor issues in the CO's/Sundry Matrix, ConocoPhillips
respectfully requests reconsideration of the orders for the following items:
THRIJ-TUBING OPERATIONS states that to "Set whipstock for sidetrack of lateral" requires a
10-403 and 10-404/10-407. Prior to cutting the window and drilling any through tubing sidetrack
or lateral, CPA submits a 10-401 Permit to Drill (PTD) request that includes setting a whipstock.
Requiring a 10-403 Sundry request to set a whipstock that is already covered under the PTD
would be redundant. ConocoPhillips requests that the added requirement to submit a 10-403 to
"Set whipstock for sidetrack of lateral" be removed from the Sundry Matrix.
• RIG/COIL OPERATIONS — Mechanical Completions List states that to replace "Tubing"
requires a 10-403 and 10-404/10-407. Replacing tubing for producers with the same size tubing
during a Rig Workover has historically only required a 10-404 Report, which has seemed to be
working fine without any issues. Requiring a 10-403 would impose additional permitting burden
without serving a necessary purpose.
Before a tubing swap is conducted, a detailed workover procedure is written by the workover
engineer. The Workover Procedure includes a Maximum Predicted Surface Pressure among
other critical information to ensure a safe and efficient workover. The workover procedure is on
the rig during the workover and is available for the AOGCC inspectors to review at any time.
After the tubing swap is completed, a 10-404 Report is filed with AOGCC within 30 days.
ConocoPhillips requests the tubing swaps for producers be removed from the Mechanical
Completions List and placed in the category that only requires a 10-404 Report.
RIG/COIL OPERATIONS — Casing Alterations List states that to "Stack Packer" requires a 10-
403 and 10-404/10-407. Replacing Tubing with a Stack Packer for producers with the same
size tubing during a rig workover has historically only required a 10-404 Report, which has
seemed to be working fine without any issues. As with the preceding issue, requiring a 10-403
for this procedure would impose additional permitting burden without serving a necessary
purpose.

Re: Proposed amendment of rules waiving certain
requirements of 20 AAC 25.280 concerning well
work operations sundry application and reporting
requirements
IT APPEARING THAT:
Docket Number: CO -17-007
Conservation Order 261 B
Kuparuk River Field
Kuparuk River Oil Pool
West Sak Oil Pool
Tabasco Oil
Tarn Oil Pool
Meltwater Oil Pool
June 12, 2018
1. Conservation Order 261A (CO 261A), issued July 29, 2005, currently waives the requirements
of 20 AAC 25.280(a) for certain wells in the Kuparuk River Oil Pool, Kuparuk River Field
(KRF). CO 261A further requires the operator to provide the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation
Commission (AOGCC) with a list of planned workover operations including the well and
intended operations on a weekly basis.
2. On its own motion, the AOGCC proposed to amend CO 261A, Rule 1 and Rule 6 and add Rule
8 for all pools in Kuparuk River Field.
3. Pursuant to 20 AAC 25.540, the AOGCC scheduled a public hearing for April 20, 2017. On
March 12, 2017, the AOGCC published notice of the opportunity for that hearing on the State
of Alaska's Online Public Notice website, on the AOGCC's website, electronically transmitted
the notice to all persons on the AOGCC's email distribution list, and mailed printed copies of
the notice to all persons on the AOGCC's mailing distribution list. On March 12, 2017, the
AOGCC published the notice in the ALASKA DISPATCH NEWS.
4. No protests to the proposal were filed with the AOGCC and no public request for a hearing
was made.
5. One comment was received in support of AOGCC's proposed action.
6. The AOGCC held the hearing as noticed.
Conservation Order 261 B
June 7, 2018
Page 2 of 5
FINDINGS:
I . Under 20 AAC 25.280(a) operators are required to file an Application for Sundry Approvals
(Form 10-403) and receive approval prior to performing well workovers (i.e., perforating or
reperforating casing, stimulation, pulling tubing, altering casing, and repairing wells) on any
well.
2. Under 20 AAC 25.280(d) operators are required to file a Report of Sundry Well Operations
(Form 10-404), including supporting documentation, within 30 days after completing
workover operations.
3. CO 261 relieves the operator of the sundry approval requirement for certain wells in the KRF
for the type of operations in 20 AAC 25.280(a) and requires the operator provide a weekly
listing of the planned operations listed in 20 AAC 25.280(a).
4. The required weekly reports have proven to be of limited utility to the AOGCC.
5. Work within the production casing/liner or the production tubing is generally standard and
routine in development and service wells in the KRF pools. However, some routine work
within service wells requires additional monitoring due to the requirements of the Underground
Injection Control ("UIC") Program delegated to the AOGCC by EPA.
6. Alteration of casing which provides a physical barrier between the wellbore and the subsurface
formations in development and service wells is not routine and does not warrant waiving the
requirement of advance approval.
7. Conservation Order 494, dated September 4, 2003, requires the operator to notify the AOGCC
when any development well in the KRF experiences sustained annulus pressure exceeding a
specified value in order to prevent failure of well integrity, uncontrolled release of fluid or
pressure, or threat to human safety.
8. Well workovers on development wells in the KRF pools generally do not call for additional
monitoring beyond that imposed by regulation.
9. Injection well workover operations frequently call for additional scrutiny, including
mechanical integrity tests and cement quality logs.
Conservation Order 261B
June 7, 2018
Page 3 of 5
CONCLUSIONS:
I. Modifying or waiving the requirements of 20 AAC 25.280(a) for development wells in the
KRF pools is based on sound engineering and geoscience principles, will not promote waste,
jeopardize correlative rights, or result in an increased risk of fluid movement into freshwater.
2. Modifying or waiving the requirements of 20 AAC 25.280(a) for service wells in the KRF
pools is based on sound engineering and geoscience principles, will not promote waste,
jeopardize correlative rights, or result in an increased risk of fluid movement into freshwater.
3. Modifying or waiving the requirements of 20 AAC 25.280(a) for service wells in the KRF
pools comports with the requirements of the Class II UIC program.
4. Increased regulatory scrutiny for those wells reported to the AOGCC in compliance with the
Sustained Casing Pressure Rules (CO 494) is appropriate.
5. Increased regulatory scrutiny for any well with compromised ability to contain pressure is
appropriate.
6. Increased regulatory scrutiny for work to repair casing (20 AAC 25.280(a) (4)) is appropriate.
7. The Attachment sets out the sundry approval and reporting requirements for frequently
performed well operations in the KRF pools.
NOW, THEREFORE IT IS ORDERED THAT:
This order supersedes CO 261 A, dated July 29, 2005. Rule 1 of CO 261A is amended, Rule 6 of
CO 261A is deleted and Rule 9 and Rule 10 are added. The findings, conclusions, and
administrative record for CO 261 and CO 494 are adopted by reference and incorporated in this
decision to the extent that they do not conflict with this order. In addition to statewide regulatory
requirements not superseded by this order, the following rules apply to the affected areas
established in Conservation Order No. 432C (Kuparuk River Oil Pool), Conservation Order No.
406B (West Sak Oil Pool), Conservation Order No. 430A (Tam Oil Pool), Conservation Order
No. 435A (Tabasco Oil Pool), and Conservation Order No. 456A (Meltwater Oil Pool).
Rule 1
Except as provided in Rules 4 and 5, the submission of an Application for Sundry Approvals (Form
10-403) and supporting documentation for workover activities described in 20 AAC 25.280(a) is
waived or modified for development wells, as provided in the Attachment.

Rule 2
Except as provided in Rules 4 and 5, the submission of an Application for Sundry Approvals (Form
10-403) and supporting documentation for workover activities described in 20 AAC 25.280(a) is
waived or modified for service wells, as provided in the Attachment
Rule 3
The Attachment summarizing the sundry approval and reporting requirements applies to
operations in the specific well types.
Rule 4
The waivers provided under Rule 1 above do not apply to wells that are required to be reported to
the AOGCC under the provisions of an applicable Sustained Casing Pressure Rule in Conservation
Order No. 494.
Rule 5
The AOGCC reserves the right to require an Application for Sundry Approvals for a particular
well or for a particular operation on any well.
Rule 6
Repealed.
Rule 7
Nothing in this order precludes filing an Application for Sundry Approvals (Form 10-403) in
advance of any well work.
Rule 8
Unless notice and public hearing are otherwise required, the AOGCC may administratively waive
or amend the requirements of any rule stated above or administratively amend the Attachment, as
long as the change does not promote waste or jeopardize correlative rights, is based on sound
engineering and geoscience principles, and will not result in an increased risk of fluid movement
into freshwater.
Rule 9
The Attachment applies while CPAI is the operator of Kuparuk River Field.
Rule 10
No change of operator will be effective until the current operator requests the AOGCC to amend
this order to change the name of the operator and the AOGCC approves the required designation
of operator form.

ALASKA OIL AND GAS CONSERVATION COMMISSION

Anchorage, Alaska 99501-3192
Re: Order waiving and modifying certain
requirements of 20 AAC 25.280 concerning Well
Work Operations, Sundry Application and
Reporting Requirements.
IT APPEARING THAT:
Docket Number: CO -17-008
Conservation Order 735
Colville River Field
Alpine Oil Pool
Fiord Oil Pool
Nanuq Oil Pool
Qannik Oil Pool
June 12, 2018
1. On its own motion, the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (AOGCC) proposed to
waive and modify certain requirements of 20 AAC 25.280 concerning Well Work Operations,
Sundry Application and Reporting Requirements for defined oil pools in the Colville River
Field (CRF).
2. The four oil pools defined in the CRF are:
Alpine Oil Pool
Conservation Order 443B
Fiord Oil Pool
Conservation Order 562
Nanuq Oil Pool
Conservation Order 569
Qannik Oil Pool
Conservation Order 605
3. Pursuant to 20 AAC 25.540, the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (AOGCC)
scheduled a public hearing for April 20, 2017. On March 12, 2017, the AOGCC published
notice of the opportunity for that hearing on the State of Alaska's Online Public Notice website,
on the AOGCC's website, electronically transmitted the notice to all persons on the AOGCC's
email distribution list, and mailed printed copies of the notice to all persons on the AOGCC's
mailing distribution list. On March 12, 2017, the AOGCC published the notice in the
ALASKA DISPATCH NEWS.
4. No protests to the proposal were filed with the AOGCC and no public request for a hearing
was made.
5. One comment was received in support of AOGCC's proposed action.
Conservation Order 735
June 7, 2018
Page 2
6. The AOGCC held the hearing as noticed.
FINDINGS:
1. Under 20 AAC 25.280(a) operators are required to file an Application for Sundry Approvals
(Form 10-403) and receive approval prior to performing well workovers (i.e., perforating or
reperforating casing, stimulation, pulling tubing, altering casing, and repairing wells) on any
well.
2. Under 20 AAC 25.280(d) operators are required to file a Report of Sundry Well Operations
(Form 10-404), including supporting documentation, within 30 days after completing
workover operations.
3. Work within the production casing/liner or the production tubing is generally standard and
routine in development and service wells in the CRF pools. However, some routine work
within service wells requires additional monitoring due to the requirements of the Underground
Injection Control ("UIC") Program delegated to the AOGCC by EPA.
4. Alteration of casing which provides a physical barrier between the wellbore and the subsurface
formations in development and service wells is not routine and does not warrant waiving the
requirement of advance approval.
5. Well workovers on development wells in the CRF pools generally do not call for additional
monitoring beyond that imposed by regulation.
6. Injection well workover operations frequently call for additional scrutiny, including
mechanical integrity tests and cement quality logs.
CONCLUSIONS:
1. Modifying or waiving the requirements of 20 AAC 25.280(a) for development wells in the
CRF pools is based on sound engineering and geoscience principles, will not promote
waste, jeopardize correlative rights, or result in an increased risk of fluid movement into
freshwater.
2. Modifying or waiving the requirements of 20 AAC 25.280(a) for service wells in the CRF
pools is based on sound engineering and geoscience principles, will not promote waste,
jeopardize correlative rights, or result in an increased risk of fluid movement into
freshwater.
Conservation Order 735
June 7, 2018
Page 3
3. Modifying or waiving the requirements of 20 AAC 25.280(a) for service wells in the CRF
pools comports with the requirements of the Class II UIC program.
4. Increased regulatory scrutiny for those wells reported to the AOGCC in compliance with
the Sustained Casing Pressure Rules (CO 495) is appropriate.
5. Increased regulatory scrutiny for any well with compromised ability to contain pressure is
appropriate.
6. Increased regulatory scrutiny for work to repair casing (20 AAC 25.280(a)(4)) is
appropriate.
7. The Attachment sets out the sundry approval and reporting requirements for frequently
performed well operations in the CRF pools.
NOW, THEREFORE IT IS ORDERED THAT:
In addition to the statewide regulatory requirements not superseded by this order, the following
rules apply to the affected areas established in Conservation Order 443B (Alpine Oil Pool),
Conservation Order 562 (Fiord Oil Pool), Conservation Order 569 (Nanuq Oil Pool), and
Conservation Order 605 (Qannik Oil Pool).
Rule 1
Except as provided in Rules 4 and 5, submission of an Application for Sundry Approvals (Form
10-403) and supporting documentation for workover activities described in 20 AAC 25.280(a) is
waived or modified for development wells, as provided in the Attachment.
Rule 2
Except as provided in Rules 4 and 5, submission of an Application for Sundry Approvals (Form
10-403) and supporting documentation for workover activities described in 20 AAC 25.280(a) is
waived or modified for service wells, as provided in the Attachment
Rule 3
The Attachment summarizing the sundry approval and reporting requirements applies to
operations in the specific well types.
Rule 4
The waivers provided under Rule 1 above do not apply to wells that are required to be reported to
the AOGCC under the provisions of the Sustained Casing Pressure Rule in Conservation Order
495.
Conservation Order 735
June 7, 2018
Page 4
Rule 5
The AOGCC reserves the right to require an Application for Sundry Approvals for a particular
well or for a particular operation on any well.
Rule 6
Nothing in this order precludes filing an Application for Sundry Approvals (Form 10-403) in
advance of any well work.
Rule 7
Unless notice and public hearing are otherwise required, the AOGCC may administratively waive
or amend the requirements of any rule stated above or administratively amend the Attachment, as
long as the change does not promote waste or jeopardize correlative rights, is based on sound
engineering and geoscience principles, and will not result in an increased risk of fluid movement
into freshwater.
Rule 8
The Attachment applies while CPAI is the operator of the Colville River Field.
Rule 9
No change of operator will be effective until the current operator requests the AOGCC to amend
this order to change the name of the operator and the AOGCC approves the required designation
of operator form.

8 little green light is shining brightly. Also please
9 remember if you have any slides to reference them so
10 that someone reading the public record in the future
11 can follow along. For example refer to the slides by
12 their number and if they're not numbered refer to them
13 by the heading or other identifying feature on the
14 slide.
15 All testimony must be relevant to the purposes
16 of the hearing that I outlined a few minutes ago and to
17 the statutory authority of the AOGCC. I think the
18 people in this room know how to follow that
19 requirement. Anyone desiring to testify may do so, but
20 if the testimony drifts off subject we'll limit the
21 testimony to three minutes. Additionally testimony
22 will not take the form of cross examination. As I said
23 before Commissioners ask the questions. Finally
24 testimony that is disrespectful or inappropriate will
25 not be allowed.

1 MS. LOEPP: On its own motion the AOGCC
2 scheduled this hearing to amend the sundry matrix which
3 is referenced in several conservation orders for
4 Prudhoe Bay field and Kuparuk River field and to adopt
5 the sundry matrix for the Colville River field. Copies
6 of the proposed sundry matrix have been submitted to
7 the court reporter for each of the fields.
8 The sundry matrix is a reference and guidance
9 table that clarifies and outlines sundry application
10 and reporting requirements for well work operations,
11 specifically 10-403 and 10-404 application
12 requirements. The original sundry matrix was included
13 in several conservation orders and was introduced July
14 29th, 2005. The sundry matrix has not been updated for
15 almost 12 years.
16 The Commission proposes to make the following
17 amendments or changes to the conservation orders. The
18 first is to modify the format and content of the sundry
19 matrix as outlined in the drafted documents. And one
20 of the changes will be to make the sundry matrix --
21 each sundry matrix specific to a conservation order and
22 to an operator. We also plan to change the title to
23 include the conservation order that it applies to as
24 well as the operator.
25 We will propose to add a rule nine to both the

1 Kuparuk and Prudhoe Bay conservation orders and this
2 rule would specify that the sundry matrix applies to
3 the current operator and will not be effective for a
4 change in operatorship.
5 And the last minor amendment would be delete
6 rule six which is some reporting -- submission of a
7 weekly report that was submitted by the operators that
8 is no longer needed or has not been needed.
9 So that sums up our changes.

15 MR. KANADY: So ConocoPhillips appreciates the
16 opportunity to provide comments on the proposed well
17 work operations and sundry report requirements for the
18 Kuparuk and Alpine fields. And Conoco would like to
19 thank the Commission for all the upfront work the
20 Commission has done in developing the proposed sundry
21 matrix. It is not an easy job to put this all
22 together.
23 Today Conoco is submitting several minor
24 proposed changes to the matrix, to the sundry matrix,
25 which we would like to review with the Commission

1 today. The type of changes that Conoco has proposed
2 are on routine maintenance work that is currently being
3 done at Kuparuk under a 10-404 report. Conoco is doing
4 the routine maintenance work, complying with all state
5 and federal requirements and reporting this work to the
6 Commission on the 10-404 report. And we look at this
7 as a performance based type approach which we feel is
8 more efficient on routine type work. And these changes
9 are highlighted in our written comments that we
10 submitted to the Commission today and I'd like to
11 highlight those.
12 So today Conoco has submitted written comments.
13 The first three pages is a general discussion on our
14 justification for the changes. So the first three
15 pages are the general description.....
16 CHAIR FOERSTER: Mr. Kanady, can we.....
17 Is there anyone in the audience who feels that
18 they need to have a copy of this in order for us to
19 continue or.....
20 (No comments)
21 CHAIR FOERSTER: All the heads are moving left

5 UNIDENTIFIED VOICE: (Indiscernible - away from

7 MR. KANADY: Good.
8 CHAIR FOERSTER: Okay. Thank you.
9 MR. KANADY: I think we're good. And then the
10 next three pages are what we received from the AOGCC,
11 the proposed matrix, and what I would like to focus on
12 is the last three pages or our proposed comments which
13 are in red.
14 So the first proposed change is included on
15 attachment two, page 1, and the category is on
16 production wells, rig operations and replacing tubing
17 with no casing alterations. This implementation of the
18 2005 sundry matrix, 10-403, which is a request for
19 approval for sundry work has not been required for
20 tubing replacement at Kuparuk. Tubing replacements
21 with no casing alternations is a routine operation at
22 the Kuparuk and Alpine fields. And this has been a
23 successful and efficient program that Conoco is not
24 aware of any issues that have arisen from a lack of a
25 403 approval, a 10-403 approval. So Conoco is

1 requesting that tubing replacements be allowed without
2 a 10-403 approval. Approximately 205 workovers have
3 been completed at Kuparuk since 210 and 150 of those
4 have been workovers on producers of which 120 were
5 worked on with just a 10-404 report.
6 So that's our first request or first comment.
7 Our second comment is on page 2 of attachment
8 two in regards to injectors, injection wells, rig
9 operations, replacing tubing with no casing
10 alterations. And this is similar to the preceding
11 request, that Conoco is requesting that an injection
12 well tubing replacement be allowed without a 10-403
13 approval since tubing replacements do not cause a
14 significant change in the operational condition of the
15 well. Utilizing a performance based requirement on the
16 Kuparuk production well tubing replacements has shown
17 to be very efficient and a fit for purpose process.
18 Let's see, moving on to back to page 1 on
19 attachment one. On production wells, other operations
20 down at the -- in the middle at the bottom, this is in
21 regards to sealant material and conductor fill. And
22 Conoco requests that for production wells other
23 operations, operations of sealant material and
24 conductor fill be included in the middle column so that
25 a 10-403 would not be required, but a 10-404 would be

1 required. The current established system for routine
2 maintenance, top offs of the conductor and the -- with
3 cement and/or sealant is a successful program and has
4 been working efficiently at Kuparuk and Conoco is not
5 aware of any issue that has arisen from the lack of a
6 10-403 approval on this type of work.
7 So finally the Kuparuk field has been utilizing
8 the 2005 sundry matrix that was adopted to the
9 conservation order number 261A. And Conoco supports
10 updating conservation order 261A to adopt the proposed
11 sundry matrix with the changes that we've recommended
12 in our written comments. And similarly Conoco would
13 support developing a conservation order similar to 261A
14 to adopt the proposed sundry matrix for the pools in
15 the Colville field.
16 And this concludes Conoco's comments today and
17 thank you for your attention.

Well Work Operations and Sundry Notice/Reporting Requirements
Dear Commissioner Foerster:
ConocoPhillips supports AOGCC's proposed Well Work Operations and Sundry
Notice/Report Requirements (Sundry Matrix), subject to three recommended
changes. The proposed Sundry Matrix will help clarify the approval and reporting
requirements for wellwork in the Kuparuk and Alpine fields. CPA[ has worked
closely with AOGCC staff on developing the proposed Sundry Matrix (attachment 1)
and is generally in agreement with the proposal, but would like to propose the minor
changes highlighted in RED on the draft Sundry Matrix included as Attachment ll.
The justifications for the proposed changes are included below.
1. Production Wells - Rig Operations — Replacing Tubing (with no casing
alterations)
CPAI requests that tubing replacements on production wells be allowed
without 10-403 form.
• Since implementation of the 2005 Sundry Matrix, 10-403's have not been
required for tubing replacements within the Kuparuk Field. This has been
a successful program and CPAI is not aware of issues arising from the
lack of a 403 approval.
• Requiring a 10-403 approval for tubing replacements would require
additional administrative work with no identifiable benefit. The 10-403
approval process would potentially cause delays in completing rig
workovers. Not requiring 10-403's would allow the rig schedule to be

optimized when operations change unexpectedly. Since 2010 there have
been 151 Producer workovers in Kuparuk and 120 of those workovers
were tubing swaps. By continuing with the current practice of requiring a
10-404 sundry reports on tubing swaps (no 10-403 application), ensures
that the administrative work would not increase for routine maintenance
work (such as tubing swaps).
• AOGCC staff expressed a desire to specify the required BOP test
pressure in advance of RWO operations, but we believe BOP test
pressure are adequately regulated as follows:
o regulations codified at 20 AAC 25.035 already clearly specify the
pressure that is required for operations;
0 opportunity to verify adequate test pressures exists during the witness
notification process, since operators are required to provide 24 hour
notification of BOP testing to the AOGCC; and
o the 10-404 describes to what pressure the BOP's were tested.
2. Infection Wells - Rig Operations - Replacing Tubing (with no casing
alterations)
Similar to the preceding request, ConocoPhillips respectfully requests that an
injection well tubing replacement be allowed without a 10-403 form since
tubing replacement does not cause a significant change in the operational
condition of the well. For the following reasons, we think it is in the best
interest of all parties to eliminate the requirement for a 10-403 in advance of
rig workover tubing change (with no casing alterations) for water and gas
injection wells.
• Tubing replacements are considered routine operations to improve the
current condition of a well.
• Requiring a 10-403 approval for tubing replacements will require additional
administrative work with no identifiable benefit. The 10-403 approval
process would potentially cause delays in completing rig workovers.
3. Production Wells - Other Operations - Sealant Material & Conductor Fill: CPAI
requests that for Production Wells - OTHER OPERATIONS, the operation
"Sealant Material & Conductor Fill" be included in the middle column, so that
a 10-403 would not be required, but a 10-404 would be required. Listed
below is a description of CPAI's current system for maintenance top -offs of
the conductor with cement and/or sealant, which explains why no change is
necessary:
• A well is identified with a low cement top in the surface casing by
conductor annulus.
• After several wells have been identified, the Well Integrity group tops the
wells off with cement. These are typically volumes of only a couple of
gallons.
• Once the cement has had time to cure properly, the cement is topped off
with Sealant (RG -2401).

Page 3
• Once a batch of wells have been completed, a spreadsheet tallying all the
wells and a cover letter are sent to the AOGCC. Historically, that was
approved to fulfill the requirement for a 10-404.
• No 10-403 have been required for these small top jobs that have been
done in groups.
Currently the Kuparuk field has been utilizing the 2005 Sundry Matrix that was
adopted through the Conservation Order No. 261A. CPAI would support
updating CO 261A to adopt the proposed Sundry Matrix, with the changes
recommended here. Similarly, CPAI would support a Conservation Order like
CO 261A be developed and adopted for pools in the Colville River Field.
CPAI appreciates the opportunity to work with the AOGCC on developing the
new Sundry Matrix for the Kuparuk and Alpines Fields. Please let myself or
Randall Kanady (907-263-4126) know if you have any question regarding this
request.
