IT APPEARING THAT:
1. By application dated October 6, 2003, BP Exploration (Alaska), Inc. ("BPXA") in its
capacity as Unit Operator of the Prudhoe Bay U~it ("PBU") requested an order from
the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission ("Commission") to define a
proposed Orion Oil Pool within the PBU and to prescribe rules governing the
development and operation of the pool. Concurrently, BPXA requested authorization
for water injection to enhance recovery from the pool.
2. BPXA provided supplemental information at the Commission's request on October
29,2003. .
3. Notice of a public hearing was published in the Anchorage Daily News on October
20, 2003.
4. The Commission held a public hearing December 4,2003 at 9:00 AM at the Alaska
Oil and Gas Conservation Commission at 333 West 7th Avenue, Suite 100,
Anchorage, Alaska.
FIND IN GS :
1. Orion Development Area of the Schrader Bluff Oil Pool
a. Operator: BPXA is the Operator of the property in the area proposed for
development. BPXA uses the name Orion in reference to this development
project. In this order the area proposed for development will be referred to as the
Orion development area.
b. Development Area: The Orion development area is totally encompassed within
the Prudhoe Bay Unit.

c. Delineation History: Oil was discovered in the Orion development area in 1968
with the Kuparuk State # 1 exploratory well. Over 90 wells have penetrated the
Schrader Bluff Formation (Schrader Bluff) in the Orion development area; nearly
all were completed in deeper formations. In 1998, the Northwest Eileen 2-01 well
was drilled, confirming hydrocarbons within the Schrader Bluff sands. Two
producing wells have been completed within the Orion development area in the
Schrader Bluff as of October 2003. BPXA utilized data from these wells in
conjunction with a 3-D seismic survey to delineate the accumulations extent.
d. Pool Identification: The proposed Orion Oil Pool is an accumulation of
hydrocarbons common to, and correlating with, the interval between the measured
depths ("MD") of 4,549 feet and 5,106 feet in the PBU V -201 well. This is the
same accumulation that is common to and correlates with the interval between the
measured depths of 4,174 and 4,800 feet in the Conoco Inc. Milne Point A-I well,
which has previously been defined in Conservation Order No. 477 ("CO 477") as
the Schrader Bluff Oil Pool. Differences in infrastructure and unit resources,
stratigraphic changes and uncertainty in the distribution of oil quality characterize
the different areas of the Schrader Bluff Oil Pool.
e. Stratigraphy: The Schrader Bluff Oil Pool encompasses reservoirs assigned to the
Late Cretaceous-aged Schrader Bluff Formation. The Schrader Bluff Oil Pool
contains two stratigraphic intervals that are designated, from deepest to
shallowest, the "0 sands" and the "N sands." The 0 and N sand intervals were
deposited in a marine shoreface and shallow shelf environment. In general, the 0
and N sand intervals are present across the entire Orion development area and, as
a package, thin slightly from southwest to northeast. Reservoir quality sand units
within each interval are regionally extensive but can be locally characterized by
substantial thickness and net to gross variations between wells spaced less than
1000 feet apart. Sands are unconsolidated, susceptible to local diagenetic
alteration and lateral facies changes.
0 Sands
The 0 sands are divided into seven separate reservoir intervals that are named,
from deepest to shallowest, OBf, OBe, OBd, OBc, OBb, OBa, and OA. Each
of these intervals coarsens upward from non-reservoir, laminated muddy
siltstone, to reservoir quality sandstone.
OBf and OBe Sands
The OBf and OBe intervals, each ranging in thickness from 35 to 55 feet,
comprise the basal 0 sand units in the Schrader Bluff Oil Pool and exhibit the
lowest net to gross sand facies in the 0 sand section. OBf and OBe sands also
contain abundant pore-filling zeolites, which significantly reduce reservoir
porosities and permeabilities.

OBd Sands
The OBd sand interval ranges between 55 and 70 feet thick and forms one of
the primary target horizons. OBd sands are thickest in the Z-Pad area ranging
up to 64 feet net sand in well Kuparuk State 1, and thin gradually northward to
between 5 and 30 feet net sand in the proposed I-Pad area. The basal 5 to 10
feet of this blocky sand interval forms the highest quality OBd reservoir unit.
OBc Sands
The OBc sand interval, ranging between 45 and 60 feet thick, comprises a
minor reservoir unit with reservoir quality sands present mainly in the V -Pad
and Z-Pad areas. Up to 20 net feet of OBc sand is mapped in the V-Pad areas,
while at L-Pad net sand thickness is typically 5 to 15 feet. To date, OBc sands
have not been perforated in any Orion development area well.
OBb Sands
The OBb sand interval, also a minor reservoir unit, has a thickness range of
between 45 and 60 feet with between 15 and 25 feet of net sand present in the
V-Pad area. Regionally, the OBb interval typically contains less than 20 net
feet of sand.
OBa Sands
The Oba sand interval has a 25 to 55 foot thickness range. Two regionally
extensive erosion/scour surfaces are identified in the OBa sand, one in the
middle of the unit and one at 10 to 15 feet from the top of the unit. Above
each erosion/scour surface are bioturbated, blocky to fining upward high
permeability sands (1000 millidarcies) that are 5 to 15 feet thick and constitute
a primary development target.
OA Sands
The OA interval is 45 to 80 feet thick, with net sand thickness of 10 to 35 feet.
Similar to the OBd and OBa intervals, the high quality sand sits above a
regionally extensive erosion/scour surface and is heavily bioturbated. The
high quality OA sand is less than 5 feet thick at Z-Pad, and thickens to 15 to
20 feet in the L-Pad and V-Pad areas.
N sands
The N sands are subdivided into three reservoir units, designated from deepest
to shallowest as Nc, Nb, and Na. The N sand interval consists mainly of non-
reservoir muds and siltstones interbedded with a limited number of thin, but
generally extensive, unconsolidated reservoir sands. Thick, regionally
extensive silty mudstones in the lowermost N sand interval form an important
regional vertical reservoir barrier which segregates lighter, higher quality, oil
in the main development horizon 0 sands at Orion and Milne Point (D, B, and
A sands at West Sak) from generally heavier oil and water saturated sands in
the overlying N and M sands (Lower U gnu sands at West Sak).

N c Sands
Nc net sand is typically less than 15 feet thick across the area. Individual
sands are generally unconsolidated and interbedded with thicker non-reservoir
muddy siltstones. Nc sands are very fine grained, laminated and moderately
to highly bioturbated. Nc sands have not been perforated or tested in an Orion
well.
Nb Sands
The Nb sand interval ranges from 30 to 50 feet, and comprises the primary N
sand interval completion target. Nb net sand character is highly variable in
the Orion development area with net sand thickness ranging from 10 to 40
feet. The best Nb reservoir quality sand has local very high permeability
(1000 millidarcies) intervals.
Na Sands
The Na sand interval is a thin, very low net-to-gross interval, which lies at the
top of the N sand section and is consistently about 25 feet thick across the
area. No N a sand tests or completions have been made in an Orion I well due
to poor reservoir characteristics in this area.
f. Structure: The top of the Schrader Bluff OA sand in the Orion development area
has structural dip ranging from 1 to 4 degrees to the east and northeast, and it is
broken by three sets of normal fault that trend from northwest to noutheast, north
to south, and east to west.
Northwest-Southeast Fault Trend
The Northwest-Southeast striking fault trend, with throws of up to 200 feet,
provides the predominate structural fabric of the pool. Faults with this
orientation occur throughout the area, and form the boundaries of the major
structural blocks in the area. The southwestern limit of the pool is formed by
a complex fault system of northwest-southeast striking faults that link up and
intersect with North-South faults to form a series of fault traps.
North-South Fault Trend
North-South striking faults, downthrown to the west and east are the second
most dominate fault system in the pool. These faults have throws of up to 100
feet.
East-West Fault Trend
East- West faults are the least common fault trend in the Orion development
area. East-west faults form part of the complex fault system that forms the
reservoir trap on the southwestern side of the pool.

g. Reservoir Compartments
Elements of the major area fault systems were used to subdivide the pool in the
Orion development area into reservoir compartments for development planning.
As additional wells are drilled and production data gathered, the reservoir
compartment picture could change. Each compartment was defined along
seismically mapped fault trends and is assumed to be hydraulically isolated by
sealing faults from adjacent compartments. The sealing character of the faults
forming the compartment boundaries is inferred from both limited fluid contact
and pressure data in the Orion development area and from analog studies, which
show a high probability of clay smear seals forming along faults in the areas low
net to gross reservoirs. N and 0 sand oil water contacts are in general poorly
defined due to the lack of well control in down structure areas. No gas/oil
contacts ("GOCs") have been logged in any sand in the Orion development area
nor is the presence of free gas in Schrader Bluff intervals in the area predicted
from oil PVT test results. Each sand in the N and 0 interval is assumed to be
vertically isolated from overlying and underlying sands by low net-to-gross, non-
reservoir, muddy siltstones and is assumed to have a different associated OWC
depth. The best defined reservoir compartments are at L-Pad and V-Pad where oil
column heights range between 150 and 310 vertical feet. Oil-water contacts have
only been logged in three Orion development area wells: Kuparuk State 1 (OBa
and OBd sands), L-I01 (Nb sand), and Northwest Eileen 1 well (OA and Nb
sands). Based on differences in rock quality and potential spill points for the
various sand units, it is believed that oil-water contact depths vary by sand unit
and by fault block within the area.
2. Rock and Fluid Properties
a. Porosity/Permeability: No core information is available for the Schrader Bluff
Oil Pool within the Orion development area. Porosity and permeability values
were derived from routine core analyses of core plugs from Polaris Oil Pool wells
S-200PBl and W-200PB1, and Kuparuk Field West Sak wells WSI-01 and lR-
07, and one Milne Point Unit Schrader Bluff Oil Pool well MPE-20. Porosity and
permeability values used for reservoir simulation are based upon the Polaris log
model. 0 sand reservoir simulation porosities range between 25 and 30% and
permeabilities typically range from 50 to 250 md. Net pay thicknesses were
derived using a petrophysical log model based upon well log and core data. Log-
model cutoffs of 6 md permeability, 65% water saturation and 35% clay volume
were used.
b. Water Saturations: Water saturations were derived from Polaris airlbrine
capillary pressure analyses of cores from wells S-200PB 1 and W -200PB 1.
Leverett J - function curves were used to distribute water saturation according to
porosity and permeability. Relative permeability curves for the Orion
development area are based on analogy to the nearby Schrader Bluff
accumulation at Milne Point.

c. Initial Reservoir Pressure: Average initial reservoir pressure in the Orion
development area is estimated to be 1970 psi at 4400' TVDss. Reservoir
temperature is about 87 degrees Fahrenheit at this datum.
d. Fluid PVT Data: A total of 23 PVT analyses have been performed on Orion
development area 0 sand oil samples. Geochemical analysis of 19 of these
samples suggests that at least two oil charges are present. 0 series sand oil API
gravities range from the low twenties to the mid teens.
3. Pool Limits
The Schrader Bluff oil-bearing sands extend into the Milne Point Unit to the North
and are present to the West in the Kuparuk River Unit West Sak Oil Pool. The Orion
development area is the portion of the Schrader Bluff Oil Pool located within the
Prudhoe Bay Unit. BPXA has requested a well spacing standoff of 500 feet from the
exterior boundary of the Prudhoe Bay Unit, which is consistent with the Milne Point
Field Schrader Bluff Oil Pool Rules and statewide regulation (20 AAC 25.055).
BPXA as Operator of the Milne Point Unit submitted a letter on September 15, 2003
stating that the Milne Point Owners have no objection to the requested Orion pool
rules and Area Injection Order application. On-going development operations in the
Western PBU will provide additional information about the productive limits of the
Schrader Bluff Oil Pool.
4. Hydrocarbons in Place
Original oil in place within the Orion development area of the Schrader Bluff Oil
Pool is estimated at 1,070-1,785 million stock tank barrels ("STB"), with 845 to
1,410 MMSTB in the 0 sands and 225 to 375 MMSTB in the N sands. All gas is in
solution, and totals 210-345 billion standard cubic feet ("SCF").
5. Pilot Well Performance
Two wells are producing from the Schrader Bluff Oil Pool within the Orion
development area, V-201 and V-202. The V-201 was fracture stimulated within the
OA, OBa, OBb, and OBd sands. Initial production in April 2002 was 1080 barrels of
oil per day ("BOPD") at gas oil ratio of 400 SCF/STB. As of August 2003, the well
had declined to 600 BOPD, 7% water, and 400 SCF/STB. Total production was
174,000 barrels.
V-202 is a 3000-foot single lateral drilled within the OBd. Initial test in July 2003
was 7100 BOPD, 350 SCF/STB. OA and OBa laterals are scheduled to be drilled in
the fourth quarter 2003. No tests of the N sands were reported.

On October 14, 2003, the Commission approved dual injection into the Kuparuk and
Schrader Bluff intervals in the Well V-I 05i. The purpose of this initial injection test
is to determine the injectivity into the Schrader Bluff formation, determine the
operability of commingled injection into two pools, and confirm that geological
barriers will contain the injection fluid when injected at injection pressures above
fracture gradient.
6. Development Plans
Reservoir models have been used to evaluate primary depletion, waterflood, and other
enhanced recovery options for development of the Schrader Bluff Oil Pool within the
Orion development area. Reservoir predictions are based on fine scale, three-
dimensional black oil models. Model studies performed to date for the Orion
development area show about 5 to 10% recovery of OOIP under primary production
and about 20-25% under waterflood (inclusive of primary).
Initial development is planned in three phases, beginning near the crest of the
structure and progressively moving toward the outer margins of the pool.
a. Phase I Development: Phase I development targets the areas with good
seismic quality and/or well control. This includes expansion of the
development at V pad and drilling of at least one L pad tri-Iateral producer. A
well within the W pad area may be drilled in 2004 testing the southeast area of
the field.
b. Future Phases of Development: Phase II development will be completion of
locations that can be drilled from existing gravel pads. This would include
drilling of 10-20 producers and 20-40 injectors in the L, V, Z Pads. An
additional 2 producers and 4-8 injectors may be drilled from W pad.
Phase III development will target the northwest portion of the field. A new
pad will be required for this development. 10-20 producers and 20-40
injectors are envisioned.
c. Rate Estimate: Peak production rates are expected to be between 30,000 and
50,000 barrels of oil per day ("BOPD"). Waterflood injection rates are
estimated to peak between 100,000 and 125,000 barrels of water per day
("BWPD").
d. Well Spacing: Initial plans are to develop on an average spacing of 160 acres.
BPXA requests a minimum well spacing of 20 acres to allow for flexibility in
well placement because of local faulting and reservoir stratigraphy. CO 477
for Milne Point Field, Schrader Bluff Oil Pool allows a minimum well spacing
of 10 acres. BPXA recommends a minimum offset of 500' from external
lease boundaries, which is consistent with CO 477.
e. Reservoir Management Strategy: Once water injection begins, voidage
replacement ratio will be balanced and reservoir pressure will be maintained
above the bubble-point.

7. Facilities
Orion wells will be drilled from existing V, L, Z and W-Pads, and a potential new 1-
Pad. Production will be commingled with PBU Initial Participating Area ("IP A")
fluids on the surface and will be processed at PBU Gathering Center 2 ("GC-2") to
maximize use of existing IP A infrastructure, minimize environmental impacts, reduce
costs, and maximize recovery. Some debottlenecking is anticipated for water
injection at Orion. The options are currently being reviewed.
No modifications will be required at OC-2 to process Orion development area
production. Existing low pressure oil, water injection, gas lift and possibly miscible
injectant lines will be shared. Existing well test equipment will be utilized at V, L, Z
and W pads. Gas lift, jet pumps and electrical submersible pumps are all being
evaluated for artificial lift.
8. Drillin2
Orion development area drilling will utilize drilling procedures, well designs, and
casing and cementing programs that conform to Commission regulations. Conductors
will be spaced 15' apart.
a. Conductor: A 16" or 20" conductor casing will be set 80 feet to 120 feet
below pad level and cemented to surface.
b. Surface Hole: In addition to the requirements of 20 AAC 25.030, surface
casing will be set at least 500 feet TVD below the base of the permafrost.
Because of the potential for coal and hydrate-related shallow gas, the
requirements of 20 AAC 25.035 concerning the use of a diverter system and
secondary well control equipment will be met.
c. Well Logs: Measurement while drilling ("MWD") and logging while drilling
("L WD") will typically begin at surface. MWD will include drilling
parameters such as direction and inclination. L WD measurements will
typically include gamma ray ("OR") and resistivity logs throughout the
reservoir section. Openhole electric logs may supplement or replace L WD
logging when wellbore conditions allow their use. These openhole logs may
include OR, resistivity, density, neutron porosity, and/or other tools.
d. Drilling Fluids: Freshwater low solids, non-dispersed fluids will be used to
drill the Schrader Bluff and Prince Creek well sections.
e. H2S Precautions: No significant H2S has been detected in any Orion
development area well drilled to date. However, because planned waterflood
operations may generate H2S over the life of the field, H2S gas drilling
practices will be followed.

9. Well Completion Desi2n
Horizontal, multi-lateral and conventional wells may be drilled at Orion. The
horizontal well sections may be completed with perforated casing, slotted liner, open-
hole section, or a combination. All conventional wells will have cemented and
perforated completions. Fracture stimulation may be necessary to maximize well
productivity and injectivity. Tubing sizes will vary from 2-3/8" to 5-1/2" depending
upon the estimated production and injection rates, and will rely on premium alloys
and corrosion inhibitors as needed.
a. Surface Safety Valves: Surface safety valves ("SSV") are included in the
wellhead equipment for all wells.
b. Subsurface Safety Devices: BPXA requested that subsurface safety valves not
be not be required due to relatively low rate oil wells produced by artificial
lift. All wells will be equipped with nipples below the permafrost should the
need arise for installation of a storm choke or other downhole flow control
device.
c. Producers: Orion development area producers will not be completed in
multiple pools. Artificial lift capability is designed into each producing well.
d. Inlectors: Injectors may be completed to enable multi-pool injection where
appropriate to the Schrader Bluff, Kuparuk, Sag River and Ivishak
Formations. Packers will be installed for zonal isolation in multi-pool
injectors.
e. Stimulation Methods: Fracture stimulation has been used successfully for
Orion development area producers and may be implemented to mitigate
formation damage and stimulate future Orion development area wells. Acid
or other forms of stimulation may be performed.
10. Reservoir Surveillance Plans
An updated isobar map of reservoir pressures will be maintained and reported at the
common datum of 4,400 feet TVDss. An initial static reservoir pressure will be
measured on each regular production or injection service well. BPXA proposes to
report data and results annually from all relevant reservoir pressure surveys and
surveillance logs. BPXA also proposes a minimum of two pressure surveys be taken
each year in each reservoir compartment as shown in Exhibit 1-13 when at least one
Orion development area production well has been completed in the respective
compartment. Spinner logs are planned on multi-pool injection well completions to
assist in the allocation of flow splits as necessary.

11. Production Allocation
The PBU Western Satellite Production Metering Plan, approved by the Commission
in CO 471 through August 2003, will be used for allocation of production. The GC-2
allocation factor will be applied to adjust total Orion development area production.
New wells will be tested a minimum of two times per month during the first three
months of production and at least once per month thereafter.
CONCLUSIONS:
1. The proposed Orion Oil Pool is equivalent to the Schrader Bluff Oil Pool.
2. Pool Rules for the development of the Schrader Bluff Oil Pool within the Orion
development area are appropriate at this time.
3. The Schrader Bluff Oil Pool within the Orion development area is compartmentalized
and will require irregular spacing to optimize waterflood and recovery. Minimum
well spacing of 10 acres is appropriate for efficient development of the pool and is
consistent with pool rules (CO 477) for Schrader Bluff Oil Pool development with the
Milne Point Field.
4. The Orion development area is in the early stages of development. Phase I
development has focused upon determination of reservoir delivery and well
operability.
5. Differences in existing infrastructure and uncertainties in the distribution of oil
quality justify, at least for the time being, having separate pool rules for the Milne
Point Unit and the Prudhoe Bay Unit (Orion development area) portions of the
Schrader Bluff Oil Pool.
6. The full extent of the pool and the individual reservoir compartments are not yet
known.
7. A well standoff of 500' minimum from the external boundaries of the Prudhoe Bay
Unit is consistent with statewide regulations and with rules for the Milne Point Unit
portion of the Schrader Bluff Oil Pool.
8. The Owners of the Milne Point Unit have no objection to BPXA's proposal to
establish pool rules to govern development within the Orion development area.
9. Due to the incompletely understood nature of compartmentalization of the reservoir,
and communication with the portion of Schrader Bluff Oil Pool located within the
Milne Point Unit, pressure monitoring is necessary.

10. Monitoring of reservoir performance on a regular basis will help ensure proper
management of the pool. Annual reports and technical review meetings will keep the
Commission apprised of reservoir performance and will ensure that future
development plans promote greater ultimate recovery.
11. Water injection into the 0 and N Sands will preserve reservoir energy and increase
ultimate recovery from the pool.
12. Completion of water injectors to allow injection in multiple pools within one wellbore
is appropriate so long as isolation of the pools is demonstrated and water injection is
allocated between pools.
13. Exception from the gas-oil-ratio limitations of 20 AAC 25.240 is appropriate
provided enhanced recovery operations maintain reservoir pressure above the bubble
point pressure.
14. Use of the PBU Western Satellite Production Metering Plan that governs allocation of
production from the Western Operating Area of the PBU is appropriate for production
from the Orion development area of the Schrader Bluff Oil Pool.
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED:
1. The following rules, in addition to statewide requirements under 20 AAC 25 (to the
extent not superseded by these rules), apply to the Schrader Bluff Oil Pool within the
following affected area referred to here as the Orion development area:

capable of preventing an uncontrolled flow.
b. All wells must be equipped with landing nipple at a depth below permafrost, which is
suitable for the future installation of a downhole flow control device. The
Commission may require such installation by administrative action.
c. Operation and performance tests must be conducted at intervals and times as
prescribed by the Commission to confirm that the safety valve systems are in proper
working condition.
Rule 4 Common Production Facilities and Surface Commingling:
a. Production from the Schrader Bluff Oil Pool within the Orion development area may
be commingled with production from Prudhoe Bay Oil Pool, and other oil pools
located in the Prudhoe Bay Unit in surface facilities prior to custody transfer.
b. The Prudhoe Bay Unit Western Operating Metering Plan, described by letter from
BPXA dated April 23, 2002 and detailed within the "Prudhoe Bay Unit (PBU)
Western Satellite Production Metering Plan - Policies and Procedures Document"
dated August 1, 2002 is approved for allocation of production from Schrader Bluff
Oil Pool wells within the Orion development area.
c. All Schrader Bluff Oil Pool wells must use the Gathering Center 2 well allocation
factor for oil, gas, and water.
d. All wells must be tested a minimum of once per month. All new wells must be tested
a minimum of two times per month during the first three months of production. The
Commission may require more frequent or longer tests if the allocation quality
deteriorates.
e. Technical process review meetings shall be held at least annually.
f. The operator shall submit a monthly report and file(s) containing daily allocation data
and daily test data for agency surveillance and evaluation.
Rule 5 Reservoir Pressure Monitoring:
a. Prior to regular production or injection, an initial pressure survey must be taken in
each well.
b. A minimum of one bottom-hole pressure survey per producing governmental section
shall be run annually. The surveys in part (a) of this rule may be used to fulfill the
minimum requirements.
c. The reservoir pressure datum will be 4400' TVDss.
d. Pressure surveys may be stabilized static pressure measurements at bottom-hole or
extrapolated from surface (single phase fluid conditions), pressure fall-off, pressure
buildup, multi-rate tests, drill stem tests, and open-hole formation tests.
e. Data and results from pressure surveys shall be submitted with the annual reservoir
surveillance report. All data necessary for analysis of each survey need not be
submitted with the report but must be available to the Commission upon request.

Rule 6 Gas-Oil Ratio Exemption
Wells producing from the Schrader Bluff Oil Pool within the Orion development area are
exempt from the gas-oil-ratio limits of 20 AAC 25.240(a) so long as requirements of 20
AAC 25.240(b) are met.
Rule 7 Enhanced Oil Recovery or Reservoir Pressure Maintenance Operations
Waterflood is required for purposes of pressure maintenance and enhanced oil recovery
in the Orion development area of the Schrader Bluff Oil Pool. Production and injection
operations must ensure the average reservoir pressure is maintained above bubble point.
Rule 8 Multiple Completion of Water Injection Wells
a. Water injectors may be completed to allow for simultaneous injection in multiple
pools within the same wellbore so long as mechanical isolation between pools is
demonstrated and approved by the Commission.
b. Prior to initiation of co-mingled injection, the Commission must approve methods for
allocation of injection to the separate pools.

between pools, if applicable, must be supplied in the annual reservoir surveillance
report.
d. An approved injection order is required prior to commencement of injection in each
pool.
Rule 9 Annual Reservoir Review
An annual report must be filed on or before April 1 of each year. The report must include
future development plans, reservoir depletion plans, and surveillance information for the
prior calendar year, including:
a. Voidage balance by month of produced, and injected fluids and cumulative status.
b. Reservoir pressure map at datum, summary and analysis of reservoir pressure surveys
within the pool.
c. Results and, where appropriate, analysis of production and injection surveys, tracer
surveys, observation well surveys, and any other special monitoring.
d. Review of pool production allocation factors and issues over the prior year.
e. Progress of enhanced recovery project implementation and reservoir management
summary including results of reservoir simulation studies.
f. Progress of plans and tests to expand the productive limits of the pool, including any
work within the Prince Creek formation.

CHAIR PALIN:
Good morning.
This hearing is now called
4
to order.
It's Thursday, December 4, 2003, at 9:03 a.m.
We're
5
In our AOGCC offices at 333 West Seventh here in Anchorage.
6
I'm Sarah Palin.
With me is Commissioner Dan Seamount.
We may
7
see our Assistant Attorney General Rob Mintz present himself
8
today.
I don't know where he is right now.
He may be here.
9
We also have Laura Ferro here of Metro Court Reporting
10
transcribing these proceedings, and if you wish to have a copy
11
of the transcript, please get a hold of Metro if you so desire.
12
These proceedings are held in accordance with 20 AAC
13
25.540, regulations governing public hearings, and these
14
hearings will be recorded.
This hearing concerns Orion pool
15
rules and an area injection order.
BP requested this, these
16
pool rules, and an area injection order on 10/1/03.
We'll be
17
establishing pool rules for the Orion oil pool within the
18
Prudhoe Bay Field, and approve an area injection order
19
authorizing enhanced oil recovery operations in that pool.
20
Anchorage Daily News published this notice on 10/20/03.
If BP
21
has any additions to your written application, which we have
22
received, of course, the order of proceedings today will
23
include the applicant presenting testimony.
24
All persons wishing to testify will be sworn in.
And
25
if you wish to give expert testimony, we'll ask that you

questions may submit those in writing through our Commission
4
staff.
Jane and Winton are here, and Jody's here.
You can
5
give your questions to those three and they'll forward them on
6
Oral statements may be made after the testimony is
to us.
7
presented.
And there's a sign-up sheet, and I do have that in
8
front of me.
I believe you have all signed in and indicated if
9
you wish to testify or make any statements, and it looks like
10
just Jonathan Williams will be testifying this morning.
Thus
11
far no comments have been received, no request for a hearing
12
was received by the public.
And, Jody, I assume since I talked
13
to you last, no comments still have been received?
Thank you.
14
Okay.
Then we will go forward with Jonathan's
15
testimony.
And for the record -- and Bob Crandall's here also
16
from the staff.
For the record, when Jonathan comes forward to
17
the mike, if he can state his name for the record and we will
18
swear him in.
So, Jonathan, you're already here.
19
Yeah.

Can you add a paper copy of this e-mail to the Orion applications?
AII¡
This will help with two points we should include in the Orion CO and
AIO. 1) The Schrader Bluff in the west end of PBU has a huge eor target
and maximizing ultimate recovery may require more than waterflood. We
should include a progress report on viscous oil recovery in the annual
surveillance report. 2) The Orion Pool areal and vertical extent may be
revised in the future.
Let me know if you'd like to discuss.

Bob,
we concur with the clarification
we will: 1) continue to study EOR
evaluate other wells relative to
AOGCC on both.
you propose below. It is reasonable to assume that
techniques for viscous oil, and 2) continue to
their bearing on the Orion Oil pool¡ and update
The only edit I would make to what you have below is to change horizontal extent to
aerial extent.
Please feel free to use the text below to update the administrative record for the
proposed Orion Pool.
Let me know if this matter requires anything further from the Orion Team.

Brian;
As we discussed on the phone this morning, there are several issues
related to the proposed Orion development that we feel should be
addressed by the subject orders and are not explicitly addressed in the
applications you have submitted. Your response to this e-mail can be
used to update the administrative record for these orders. Both of the
points that need clarification relate to the extent of the proposed
Orion development.
The vertical extent of the pool is not a function of the distribution of
the resource, but rather the distribution of oil BP anticipates will be
most amenable to waterflooding. Within the proposed development area, an
as yet undetermined amount of resource will not be producable with the
proposed waterflood. BP will address this issue by studying EOR
techniques for viscous oil. Depending on the success of this work, at
some point in the future the vertical extent of the pool may be revised
to include oil excluded from the initial development plan. The AOGCC
will periodically review (perhaps annually) the progress of your work
with viscous oil EOR techniques.
The horizontal extent of the proposed Orion Pool is to some degree a
function of well control. As development in the Western PBU proceeds,
numerous wells to either the Saddlerochit or the Kuparuk Fm. will be
drilled. These wells should be routinely evaluated for oil bearing
equivalents of the Orion Pool.
With your concurrence on these two points, we will update the
administrative record for the proposed Orion Pool.

I. Geology
Introduction
The proposed Orion Pool Rules area is located within the Prudhoe Bay Unit (PBU) on Alaska's
North Slope, as illustrated in Exhibit I-I. The Orion Pool overlies the Prudhoe Oil Pool (also
referred to herein as the "Prudhoe Pool" or "Prudhoe") in the vicinity of PBU L, V, Wand Z Pads
and overlies the Borealis Oil Pool (also referred to herein as the "Borealis Pool" or "Borealis") in the
vicinity of PBU L and V Pads.
The Kuparuk State No. 1, drilled in 1968, was the first well to penetrate and log hydrocarbons in the
Orion Pool. In 1998, the Northwest Eileen 2-01 well was drilled. Sidewall cores in that well
confirmed hydrocarbons in the Schrader Bluff sands.
Exhibit 1-2 shows the location of the Orion Pool area. The boundaries of the Orion Pool Rules area
coincide with the boundaries of the proposed Orion Participating Area (OP A). The Orion Pool
hydrocarbon accumulation is bounded by faults on the up-dip west and south sides and by closure
down-dip into the regional aquifer on the down-dip east side.
To the north, the Orion Pool
hydrocarbon accumulation is interpreted to extend to the boundary of the Schrader Bluff Oil Pool.
To the northeast, although seismic evidence suggests the hydrocarbon accumulation may extend
beyond the Prudhoe Bay Unit boundary, this has not yet been confirmed. The Orion Pool is
comprised of the ten distinct Nand 0 sand intervals of the Schrader Bluff formation. Hereafter,
applicants request the Commission define the Orion Oil Pool (also referred to herein as the "Orion
Pool" or simply "Orion") as including all of the hydrocarbon bearing sands within the described area
that correlate with the Schrader Bluff Nand 0 sand intervals detailed on the V -201 type log depicted
in Exhibit 1-3.
As shown on the Schrader Bluff OA structure map in Confidential Exhibit 1-4, the Orion structure
crests in the northwest Orion Pool region (3980 feet TVDSS at the Schrader Bluff OA mapping
horizon) and trends down dip to the east through faulting and regional dip. North-south, east-west,
and northwest-southeast trending faults subdivide the Orion Pool into discrete fault blocks. Fluid

isolation between several fault blocks is interpreted by log data from adjacent fault-separated wells
that show water structurally higher than oil in the same sands on opposites sides of faults. Sealing
faults are predicted in the Orion Pool based on the prevalent low net to gross reservoir lithologies.
Commerciality of the Orion Pool was confirmed in April 2002 through the f~acture-stimulated
completion and production of the Schrader Bluff 0 sands in well V-201. Well V-202 was the first
Orion high-angle development well at V-Pad and began production from the OBd sand interval in
June 2002. Additional laterals will be added to well V-202 in the OBa and OA sands to make it a
high-angle trilateral producer.
Stratigraphy
Exhibit 1-3 shows the open-hole wireline log character of the Schrader Bluff 0 and N sands in a type
log from the V -201 well. This type log illustrates the vertical stratigraphic extent of the Orion Pool
that comprises the 0 and N sands. In the V-201 well, the top of the Orion Pool occurs at 4,126 feet
TVDSS (4,549 feet MD) and the base occurs at 4,650 feet TVDSS (5,106 feet MD).
(
As shown in Exhibit 1-3, the Orion 0 and N sands are further subdivided into seven 0 sands, and
three N sands. A general description of the thickness and character for each of the Orion sands
follows. A detailed description of the rock properties associated with individual sands is given in
Section II. In general, the 0 and N sand intervals are present across the entire Orion Pool area and,
as a package, thin slightly from southwest to northeast across the Orion Pool area. Reservoir quality
sand units within each interval are regionally extensive but can be locally characterized by
substantial thickness and net to gross variations between wells spaced less than 1000 feet apart.
The Schrader Bluff Formation Nand 0 sand intervals were deposited between 65 and 72 million
years ago during the Late Cretaceous geologic time period and are composed of a set of marine
shoreface and shelf deposits that are transitional between the underlying open marine Late
Cretaceous Colville mudstones, and the overlying deltaic and fluvial sands, silts, and mudstones of
the Early Tertiary U gnu Formation M sands.
(

The contact between the basal Schrader Bluff Formation 0 sands and the underlying upper Colville
section is gradational from the Colville mudstones to the basal Schrader Bluff low permeability silty
sands. Colville mudstones and muddy siltstones, ranging up to 1100 feet thick at Orion, form the
basal confining unit of the Orion Pool.
The contact between the upper Schrader Bluff Formation N sands and the overlying U gnu M sand
section is generally abrupt and lies at the base of a regionally continuous 4 to 12 foot thick muddy
siltstone layer. Exhibit 1-12 is a thickness map of this mudstone. Mapping using 3D seismic and
well control shows no areas in the Orion Pool area where this mudstone is not present between the
Mc and N sands.
0 Sands
The Schrader Bluff 0 sand interval is the primary development target in the Orion Pool and is
subdivided into seven separate reservoir horizons, from deepest to shallowest - the OBf, OBe, OBd,
OBc, OBb, OBa, and OA.
OBe and OBf Sands
The OBf and OBe intervals, each ranging in thickness from 35 to 55 feet, comprise the basal Orion
Pool's 0 reservoir units and exhibit the lowest net to gross sand facies in the 0 sand section. Both
intervals are characterized by basal muddy siltstones that grade upward into thin very fïne-grained,
laminated sands. Abundant lithic feldspar grains are present in both the OBf and OBe intervals,
which result in an abnormally high OR response in the highest net to gross sand layers. OBe and
OBf sands also contain abundant pore-filling zeolites, which significantly reduce reservoir porosities
and permeabilities.
OEd Sands
The OBd sand interval in the Orion Pool ranges between 55 and 70 feet thick and forms one of the
primary Orion reservoir target horizons. OBd sands are thickest in the Z-Pad area ranging up to 64
feet net sand in well KUPST -01, and thin gradually northward to between 5 and 30 feet net sand in
the proposed I-Pad area. The OBd interval grades upward, from a basal muddy siltstone into low

(
quality laminated and bioturbated reservoir sands that gradually clean upward. A 10 to 30 foot thick
blocky to fining upward sand unit caps the OBd interval over most of the Orion Pool area. The basal
5 to 10 feet of this blocky sand interval forms the highest quality OBd reservoir unit, but thins to the
north of L-Pad. Reservoir quality OBd sands are unconsolidated and almost entirely very fine to
fine-grained. Initial production rates from a single horizontal leg of well V -202 drilled in this sand
with oil-based mud exceeded 7000 bopd.
OBc Sands
The OBc sand interval, ranging between 45 and 60 feet thick, comprises a minor Orion reservoir unit
with reservoir quality sands present mainly in the V -Pad and Z-Pad areas. The OBc interval
coarsens upward from basal muddy siltstones to a low net to gross silty sand, with a moderate net to
gross laminated to layered very fine-grained sand at the top of the unit. Up to 20 net feet of OBc
sand is mapped in the V -Pad areas, while at L-Pad net sand thickness is typically 5 to 15 feet. To
date, OBc sands have not been perforated in any Orion Pool well.
(
OBb Sands
The OBb sand interval, also a minor Orion Pool reservoir unit, has a thickness range of between 45
and 60 feet with between 15 and 25 feet of net sand present in the V-Pad area. Regionally, the OBb
interval typically contains less than 20 net feet of sand. The OBb interval comprises a moderately
coarsening upward section that exhibits a lower net to gross character than the overlying OBa
interval, and higher net to gross than the underlying OBc interval. Individual clean OBb sand layers,
observed in core from Polaris wells, are typically less than one foot thick and are separated by silts
and muds of comparable or greater thickness than the sands. There are occasional blocky sands
greater than one foot thick. OBb sands in the V-201 well were hydraulically fractured and produce
commingled with the overlying OBa sands.
0 Ba Sands
The OBa sand interval within the Orion Pool, with a 25 to 55 foot thickness range, cleans gradually
upward from a basal siltstone into interbedded thin sands and mudstones to an upper cross-laminated
(

sand unit. Two regionally extensive erosion/scour surfaces are identified in the OBa sand, one in the
middle of the unit and one at 10 to 15 feet from the top of the unit. Above each erosion/scour
surface are bioturbated, blocky to fining upward high permeability sands (1000+ md.) that constitute
a primary development target of the Orion Pool. The high permeability sand interval above the
lower erosion/scour surface thins from southeast to northwest across the Orion region and is 5 to 10
feet thick. The upper high permeability sand is 5 to 15 feet thick, caps the OBa unit and thins to the
southeast across the Orion Pool such that it is missing in the Z-Pad area. Hydraulically fractured
OBa sands were produced in well V-201.
OA Sands
The OA sand interval comprises a 10 to 25 foot thick basal silty mudstone that coarsens upward,
gradually or abruptly, into stacked sets of cleaning upward reservoir sand units. As a package, the
OA interval is 45 to 80 feet thick, with net sand thickness of 10 to 35 feet.
OA sands show a dominantly coarsening upward log profile with the highest quality sands present in
the upper third of the OA gross interval. OA sands are very tine to fine-grained, faintly laminated to
massive and moderately to strongly bioturbated, particularly in the upper fining upward sand section.
Similar to the OBd and OBa intervals, the high quality sand sits above a regionally extensive
erosion/scour surface and is heavily bioturbated. The high quality OA sand is less than 5 feet thick
at Z-Pad, and thickens to 15 to 20 feet in the L-Pad and V-Pad areas. The high quality reservoir sand
caps the OA interval and is truncated abruptly at the top OA sand contact. Basal and middle OA
sands are generally poor to non-reservoir in quality. OA sands have been completed in the

N Sands
The Schrader Bluff N sand interval overlies the Schrader Bluff 0 sand interval and ranges between
140 and 180 feet thick in the Orion Pool area. Orion Pool N sands are subdivided into three
reservoir units, from deepest to shallowest - Nc, Nb, and Na. The N sand interval consists mainly of
non-reservoir muds and siltstones interbedded with a limited number of thin, but generally extensive,
unconsolidated reservoir sands. Thick, regionally extensive silty mudstones in the lowennost N

sand interval form an important regional vertical reservoir barrier which segregates lighter, higher
quality, oil in the main development horizon 0 sands at Orion and Milne Point (D, B, and A sands at
West Sak) from heavy oil and extensive wet sands in the overlying N and M sands (Lower U gnu
sands at West Sak).
Nc Sands
The Nc interval, ranging from 75 to 105 feet thick, is dominated by mudstone and muddy siltstone in
the Orion Pool area and contains thin interbedded reservoir quality sands only in the upper 15 to 30
feet of the interval. Nc net sand is typically less than 15 feet thick across the Orion Pool area.
Individual sands are generally unconsolidated and interbedded with thicker non-reservoir muddy
siltstones. Nc sands are very fine grained, laminated and moderately to highly bioturbated. Nc
sands have not been perforated or tested in an Orion Pool well.
('
Nb Sands
The Nb sand interval ranges from 30 to 50 feet thick in the Orion Pool and comprises the primary N
sand interval completion target. Nb net sand character is highly variable in the Orion Pool area with
net sand thicknesses ranging from 10 to 40 feet. The best Nb reservoir quality occurs near L-Pad
where blocky to fining upward sand with very high permeability (1000+ md.) occurs above an
erosional surface. This high quality interval is some of the coarsest grained sand in the Orion Pool,
but it is not laterally extensive and it may be a channelized deposit. Other channel deposits in the Nb
sand may be present near V-Pad, Z-Pad, and the possible new I-Pad, but existing penetrations do not
delineate these features. Outside of the known channel sands, Nb sands are less than 10 feet thick
and are interbedded with similar or greater thicknesses of mud and silt. No Nb sand completions
have been made in the Orion Pool area.
Na Sands
The Na sand interval is a thin, very low net-to-gross interval, which lies at the top of the N sand
section and is consistently about 25 feet thick across the Orion Pool. Na reservoir sands are generally
very fine-grained, laminated, and bioturbated. Individual Na sands are two to four feet thick, exhibit

a spikey log character, and are interbedded with thicker non-reservoir siltstones. No Na sand tests or
completions have been made in an Orion Pool well due to poor reservoir characteristics in this area.
Schrader Bluff Formation - Geologic Structure
Exhibit 1-4 is a structure map on the top of the Schrader Bluff OA sand in the Orion Pool area, with a
contour interval of 20 feet. Although the Schrader Bluff interval generally dips eastward and
northeastward at one to four degrees in the western portion of the Prudhoe Bay Unit, it is broken up
into a series of distinct fault blocks in the Orion Pool, as indicated by 3D seismic data and by well
penetrations. The structural character at the Schrader Bluff level in the Orion Pool and vicinity is
dominated by three different fault trends: Northwest-Southeast, North-South, and East-West.
Northwest-Southeast Fault Trend
The northwest -southeast striking fault trend, with throws of up to 200 feet, provides the predominate
structural fabric of the Orion Pool. Faults with this orientation occur throughout Orion, and form the
boundaries of the major structural blocks in the area. The southwestern limit of the Orion Pool is
formed by a complex fault system of northwest-southeast striking faults that link up and intersect
with north-south faults to form a series of fault traps. The northwest-southeast faults more often are
downthrown to the southwest, but can also be downthrown to the northeast.
North-South Fault Trend
North-South striking faults, downthrown to the west and east are the second most dominant fault
system in the Orion Pool. These faults have throws of up to 100 feet. Some of the north-south
trending faults can be demonstrated to have relatively recent movement, with offsets as shallow as
1000 feet tvdss in the permafrost.
East- West .Fault 'I'rend
East -West faults are the least common fault trend in the Orion area. East -west faults form part of the
complex fault system that forms the reservoir trap on the southwestern side of Orion.

Reservoir Compartments
Elements of each of the major area fault systems were used to subdivide the Orion Pool into
reservoir compartments for development planning purposes. As additional wells are drilled and
production data gathered, the reservoir compartment picture could change. The location and areal
extent of these reservoir compartments is marked by the polygon boundaries shown in Confidential
Exhibit 1-13.
Each compartment was defined along seismically mapped fault trends and is assumed to be
hydraulically isolated by sealing faults from adjacent compartments. The sealing character of the
faults forming the compartment boundaries is inferred from both limited fluid contact and pressure
data at Orion and from analog studies, which show a high probability of clay smear seals forming
along faults in the Orion low net to gross reservoirs. Polygon nomenclature and boundary character
is summarized below.

Polygon 2 Polygon is fault bounded on all sides. Wells in the down-

southeast fault with up to 180' of throw. Polygon 4 is a

Polygon 5 Polygon 5 is fault bounded on all sides. Dip within polygon

define OWC.
Polygon 6 Fault bounded on all sides, with complex internal faulting
indicated by seismic. No well penetrations in polygon 6
inside PBU. However, down-dip penetrations of fault block
in MPU show presence of hydrocarbons.
Fluid Contacts
Confidential Exhibits 1-6 through 1-11 show the depths of interpreted Oil/Water Contacts (OWCs) in
the Nand 0 sands on cross-sections across the Orion Pool. Nand 0 sand OWCs are in general
poorly defined due to the lack of well control in down structure areas. No Gas/Oil Contacts (GOCs)
have been logged in any Orion sand nor is the presence of free gas in Orion Pool intervals predicted
from oil PVT test results. Each sand in the Orion Nand 0 interval is assumed to be vertically
isolated from overlying and underlying sands by low net-to-gross, non-reservoir, muddy siltstones
and is assumed to have a different associated OWC depth.
Oil-Down-To (ODT) limits and Water-Up-To (WUT) limits constrain Orion Pool area oil column
heights. The best defined reservoir compartments are at L-Pad and V -Pad where oil column heights
range between 150 and 310 vertical feet. Oil-Water contacts have only been logged in three Orion
Pool area wells: KUPST-OI (OBa and OBd sands); L-lOl (Nb sand); and NWEILEEN-l (OA and
Nb sands). Based on differences in rock quality and potential spill points for the various sand units,
it is believed that Oil-Water contact depths vary by sand unit and by fault block within the Orion
Pool.
Oil- Water Contacts
Orion Nand 0 sand OWCs were interpreted for each sand using one of the following methods as
most appropriate to that situation: 1) at the midpoint between the deepest Oil-Down-To (ODT) levels
logged in upstructure wells and the down-dip structural spill point (defined at fault tips), 2) at the
midpoint between the updip ODT levels and down-dip Water-Up-To (WUT) levels, or 3) at the
midpoint between fault leak points (defined at fault intersections) and the down-dip structural spill

point. Based on the described methodology, the N and 0 sand expected case oil column heights
across the Orion Pool range between 0 feet (Nb-Polygon lA) and 433 feet (Oa-Polygon 3). Orion
area N and 0 sand OWC depth uncertainties between the minimum possible and maximum possible
OWC cases average 190 vertical feet per reservoir unit sand. The wide range in OWC depth
uncertainty is due to the lack of down-dip penetrations in the majority of the reservoir polygons.
The best OWC depth definition occurs at L-Pad and V -Pad where there is a concentration of
Borealis wells penetrating the Schrader Bluff Formation. At L-Pad and V-Pad the OWC depth
uncertainty range is 17 vertical feet to 59 vertical feet. In the main target horizons OA, OBa, and
OBd at L-Pad and V-Pad the average most likely oil column range is 156 vertical feet (Polygon 5) to
308 vertical feet (Polygon 2).
Net Pay and Pool Limits
The limits of the Orion Pool are defined up-dip by fault barriers and down-dip at the zero foot limits
of Nand 0 sand most likely case net pay. Orion is bounded on the southwest by northwest-
southeast faults where the reservoir is juxtaposed against impermeable silts and mudstones of the
upper Schrader Bluff Formation and overlying U gnu Formation. To the north and northwest, the
Orion Pool limit is established by the Prudhoe Bay Unit boundary, not by a geologically defined
trap. Rule 2 of the Milne Point Field, Schrader Bluff Oil Pool Rules (CO 477) requires, consistent
with the statewide rule (20 AAC 25.055), that wells be open no closer than 500 feet from the exterior
boundary of the Milne Unit. A similar restriction is proposed for the Orion Oil Pool (see Proposed
Rule 1 in Section VII.). These restrictions should be sufficient at this time to protect correlative
rights and avoid waste. To the east, the Orion Pool limit is defined by the down-dip intersection of
the top of the reservoir with the most likely case Nand 0 sand oil-water contact depths defined by
structural spill points. The precise down-dip reservoir boundaries have not been verified with well
control.
Orion Pool net pay thicknesses were derived using a petrophysical log model developed for the
Schrader Bluff Formation. Reservoir lithologies and porosities were based on a multi-log analysis
calibrated to conventional core from Polaris wells S-200PBl and W-200PBl, Milne well MPE-20,
and West Sak wells lR-07 and WSI-01.
Water saturations were calculated using the Waxman-
13

¡cation

Smits model calibrated to the S-200PBl and lR-O7 core samples. Depth trends were used to vary
the resistivity of water and the relationship between porosity and permeability. Log-model cutoffs
of 6 millidarcies permeability, 65% water saturation and 35% clay volume were used to define Orion
net pay.
Confidential Exhibits 1-14, and 1-15 show the 0 and N sand composite net pays. Confidential
Exhibit 1-14 is an Orion Pool composite-O-sand net-pay map showing the combined thickness and
extent of the Orion area OA through OBf sand net pays. Confidential Exhibit 1-15 is an Orion Pool
composite N sand net pay map showing the combined Na through Nc sand net pay thickness.
Confidential Exhibits 1-16, and 1-17 show the 0 and N sand oil pore-foot thickness, respectively.
Similar to the net pay maps in Contïdential Exhibits 1-14 and 1-15, the 0 and N oil pore-foot
thickness maps represent the combined oil pore-foot thickness for all of the 0 sands (Confidential
Exhibit 1-16) and all of the N sands (Confidential Exhibit 1-17).

II. Reservoir Description and Development Planning
Reservoir management and development scenarios for Orion have been evaluated using pattern and
partial field reservoir simulation models. Low recovery estimates for primary depletion are
influenced by low gas oil ratio (GOR), low initial reservoir pressure and viscous oil. The models
have identified water flooding as a viable secondary recovery mechanism and are being used to
optimize well spacing and pattern configurations. Orion development, as currently planned, will
utilize the existing footprint of Pads L, V, Z and W, with minor modifications, that were constructed
by the Initial Participating Area ("IP A") and Borealis Owners to develop the Prudhoe Pool and the
Borealis Pool. In addition, the Orion Owners are evaluating the possible construction of a new pad
(I-Pad), located northwest of L-Pad for Orion development.
Rock and Fluid Properties
Porosity and Permeability
(
Orion Pool rock properties were derived using conventional core data from two Polaris wells (S-
200PB1 and W-200PB1), two West Sak wells (WS1-01 and lR-07), and one Milne well (MPE-20).
Although Orion core was recently obtained in well V-Ill, rock properties from this well are not yet
available. Rock properties were distributed across the Orion Pool area using log model transforms.
Pending receipt of Orion core analysis results, log models derived from Polaris (which is considered
to be a close analog for Orion) and other Schrader Bluff fields, have been used in reservoir
simulation and analysis. Polaris porosity and permeability values were measured by routine core,
analysis (air permeability with Klinkenberg correction) of core plugs from S-200PB 1 and W-
200PB 1. Typical plug kv/kh values ranged from 0.001 to 1.0.
Porosity and permeability for reservoir simulation were upscaled from the Orion static 3D geologic
model (RMS), which is based on the Polaris log model (PLM). A 6 millidarcies permeability cut-
off was utilized. Thick shale intervals representing the low net-to-gross, low-permeability shelf
deposits between the reservoir sands were explicitly included in the layering, while the thinner
shales within the sands were built into the vertical permeability during upscaling.

Confidential Exhibit II-I shows typical ranges for porosity and horizontal permeability by zone that
were used in the reservoir simulation.
Water Saturation
Water saturations have been characterized using mercury injection data from Polaris S-200PB 1 and
W-200PBl cores. Distribution of the data was characterized using a Leverett J-function to capture
variations in water saturation with variations in porosity and permeability. The J-function data were
then used to initialize the Orion reservoir models under capillary pressure equilibrium. Each interval
was assumed to have a separate oil/water contact; the contacts were adjusted in the models to match
observed water saturations from logs.
Relative Permeability
Relative permeability curves were based on unsteady state relative permeability experiments on S-
200PB 1 and W - 200PB I core.
The experiments resulted in a wide range of curves that were
considered of questionable validity because of problems in implementation of the unsteady state
technique. The range of results was narrowed to a single curve that is nearly identical to the curves
used to model the Schrader Bluff Pool within the Milne Point Unit. Confidential Exhibit 11-2 shows
the relative permeability curves used in the reservoir simulation. End point scaling has been used to
adjust the curves for differences in initial water saturation.
Initial Pressure and Tem~erature
Initial reservoir pressure is taken from V-I 00, which had MDT samples over the range 3954' to
4623' TVDSS, at a datum depth of 4400' TVDSS, which has been chosen as the pressure datum
depth for the Orion Pool. Average initial reservoir pressure is estimated to have been 1970 psi at
4400' TVDSS. Reservoir temperature is approximately 87° Fahrenheit at this datum.

Fluid PVT Data
Three types of fluid data have been gathered at Orion - fluids extracted from sidewall core plugs,
MDT samples and production samples from surface and downhole.
Oil samples obtained from sidewall core plugs in seven wells, using two different extraction
methods (solvent extract, or retort), show API gravity variations of up to 10°. This range is not
considered unusual, since extraction tends to under-predict API gravity, while retorting tends to
over-predict. The uncertainty range means that these samples are of limited value for oil quality
determination.
A total of 23 PVT analyses have been performed on Orion oil samples and they are shown in
Confidential Exhibit II-3. All of these samples were obtained from MDT's and 35% of the main
sand/fault block reservoir units have been sampled to date. There appears to be a relationship
between oil viscosity and the GOR of the samples. Confidential Exhibit 4 lists number of samples
and property ranges for the MDT samples, at reservoir temperature and pressure, in each major sand.
,
{
\
Geochemical (GC) analysis has been performed on 19 Orion oil samples and the coverage is shown
in Confidential Exhibit II-5. Results are interpreted to indicate that at least two oil charges are
present in the reservoir, distinguished by the presence, or absence, of a GC "light end". The PVT
properties used for reservoir simulation are derived from measured values in the area being studied.
Where no measurements are available, a range of possible values is used, to quantify the impact on
results. The current set of PVT tables is shown in Confidential Exhibit II-6.
Hydrocarbons in Place
A full-field reservoir simulation model for Orion has not been developed. Estimates of
hydrocarbons in place for Orion are derived from net-oil-pore-feet maps and reflect current well
control, stratigraphic and structural interpretation, and rock and fluid properties. The current
estimate of oil and gas in place for the major sands are as follows:

The ranges in OOIP and OGIP are due primarily to uncertainty in individual fault block oil-water

Fluid saturations obtained from Orion partial field models have been compared to those calculated in
the Orion log model and are in good agreement.
Reservoir Performance
Well Performance
Two wells, V -201 and V -202 are producing from the Orion Pool. V -201 was drilled in early 2002
and put on production in April 2002. V-202 was drilled in May 2003 and put on production in July
2003. Both wells are currently producing under primary depletion.
V-201 was the first producing well drilled in Orion. The well received two fracture stimulation
treatments targeting the OA, OBa, OBb, and OBd, sands. The fracture stimulation was performed to
decrease skin and control sand production by using a resin-coated propp ant.
V-201 production was initiated in April 2002 and initially produced 21.5 API oil at 1080 bopd, 400
GOR and 0% WC, on gas-lift. The low rate and low flowing wellhead temperature (330 F) caused
problems with gas hydrates and the well was converted to jet pump. After 16 months, the well was
producing 600 bopd, at 7% WC and 400 GOR, and had produced approximately 174 mbo.
V - 202 is a 3000 foot single lateral, drilled with oil-base mud and completed with slotted liner in the
OBd. The well was put on production in July 2003 and initially tested at 7100 bopd, 350 GOR (est.)
and 0% WC. After 1 month the well was producing 2000 bopd at 0% WC and 1000 GOR, and has

produced over 100 mho. V-202 had the highest initial rate of any Schrader Bluff viscous-oil
development well drilled to date and appears to be relatively undamaged. Oil quality is excellent in
the OBd at this location at 22.9 API. OA and OBa laterals are scheduled to be drilled and completed
in this well in fourth quarter 2003.
Aquifer Influx
The aquifer to the east of Orion could provide limited pressure support during field development.
Early production data from the flanks of the field will be evaluated to determine the extent of .
pressure support.
Gas Conine! Under-Runnine
There are no indications of a free gas column in the Orion Pool; coning or under-run mechanisms are
not anticipated.

Development Planning
Several reservoir models, using data from the Orion Pool, have been constructed to evaluate
development options, investigate reservoir management strategies and generate rate profiles.
Reservoir Model Construction
Partial field models built from the Orion static model have grid blocks upscaled from approximately
95 x 95 x 1-2 feet to 150 x 150 x 3-7 feet. These are black-oil models, with a total of 25 active
layers representing the net sand in the OA, OBa and OBd intervals. Shale and minor sand intervals
(N, OBb and OBc) are gridded in the models, but properties are zeroed out at this time. Faults
(internal and boundary) are included in all of the models and assumed to be sealing. Fine-grid
models have been completed for about 60% of the field area to support development and appraisal
drilling activity.

Development Options
Development options evaluated for the Orion Pool include primary depletion and waterflood.
Preliminary screening of miscible gas flooding is also in progress.
Primary Recovery
Primary recovery was evaluated for development of the Orion Pool.
The primary recovery
mechanism was a combination of solution gas drive and reservoir compaction.
Model results
indicate that primary depletion would recover approximately 5-10% of the development area OOIP.
Low primary recovery is a result of a combination of low GOR, low initial reservoir pressure and
viscous oiL
Waterflood
Waterflood has been identified as the main development option for Orion. It is anticipated that
overall field development will involve 40-80 injectors and 30-45 producers, depending upon the type
of well designs utilized. In the major sands that will be developed with horizontal wells and full
waterflood patterns, recovery may reach 20 to 25% of OOIP. The minor sands and N sands are
likely to be produced through vertical fractured producers and horizontal laterals as reservoir quality
permits. Waterflood patterns in these secondary layers may not be fully developed and recovery
could be as low as 5% of OOIP in areas of poor rock quality and crude quality. These estimated
waterflood recoveries are inclusive of primary recovery and assume 1.5 hydrocarbon-pore volumes
injected (HCPVI). Oil production rate is estimated to peak at 30-50 mbd, with a maximum water
injection rate of 100-125 mbd. The Orion waterflood oil and water production and water injection
forecasts are shown in Exhibit II-6.
Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR)
Enhanced recovery techniques such as miscible-gas injection and water-alternating with miscible-
gas injection are under evaluation. Preliminary evaluations indicate that EOR could yield
incremental recovery from the Orion Pool. Milne Point Unit Schrader Bluff equation of state data
20
Orion Pool Rules and Area Injection Order A( ation

(
have been reviewed in conjunction with slim tube simulation to assess potential EOR benefits at
Orion. Upon completion of these and additional technical and economic evaluations, forward action
plans will be determined. Injection wells are being engineered to accommodate the potential for
enhanced oil recovery service.
Horizontal Wells
Favorable results have been obtained with horizontal multi-lateral (ML) wells in Orion and other
pools within the Schrader Bluff Formation (Milne Point and West Sak) and the initial development
plan for Orion is primarily based on ML wells. Simulation and development planning efforts show
that horizontal wells have the potential to enhance rate and recovery, while reducing development
costs and minimizing facility expansion requirements. Horizontal well potential is currently being
evaluated in the V -Pad area where the target is the three major sands - OA, OBa, and OBd. The V-
202 tri-Iateral well (initially drilled as an OBd single-lateral) encountered approximately 2100 net
feet of horizontal section and is currently on production. The V -202 well was drilled with oil-base
mud to provide horizontal well productivity information, and appears to be relatively undamaged,
based on initial rate.
(
Injection well designs evaluated and employed to date in the Schrader Bluff formation pools within
the PBU (Polaris and Orion) are vertical. Horizontal injection wells will be considered in the future,
using single, multi-lateral and/or undulating wellbore profiles.
. Development Plan
Reservoir simulation supports implementation of a waterflood in the Orion Pool. Initial
development will take place in a phased manner, working from the areas of least reservoir/fluid risk
towards the less well defined areas of the Pool, incorporating data gathering necessary to refine
development plans. In this context, uncertainty includes structure/faulting (areas of poor-quality
seismic and/or lack of early well control), oil quality (possible compartmentalization) and rock
properties (areal and vertical variations in net-to-gross, porosity, and permeability). A phased
development plan allows for evaluation of the Schrader Bluff in deeper Kuparuk and Ivishak
(~-
21
Orion Pool Rules and Area Injection Order,
cation
October 6, 2003
development wells prior to proceeding with development in each field area. The Operator will
determine the optimal field off-take rate based upon sound reservoir management practices.
Phase I Develo)!ment
Phase I development focuses on developing and establishing waterflood operations in areas with
good seismic quality and/or well control. Several water flood development options have been
studied using the Orion reservoir simulation models. The results of those simulations provided
criteria for spacing of wells and identifying the number of injectors necessary for adequate voidage
replacernent. Phase I developlllent results will be used to validate development assumptions and
refine Phase II and Phase III development plans.
Phase I drilling in Orion is a combination of development and appraisal wells, designed to provide
early production and injection well performance information, while evaluating the fluid and rock
quality in previously untested areas of the field. V-Pad currently includes the V -201 and V -202
wells, which are currently on production and the V-I05 dual (with Borealis) water injector. Tri-
lateral producers and vertical or multi-lateral injectors are under consideration. V -201 may be
converted to water injection in the future. The central V -Pad line drive patterns will provide early
data on flood performance and operation.
L-Pad area development consists of drilling one tri-Iateral producer, L-200, in late 2003/early 2004,
with immediate support available from the existing dual (with Borealis) water injector, L-117. 2004
drilling anticipates the addition of tri-Iateral producers and vertical or multi-lateral injectors.
W -Pad currently has no Orion wells. Tri-Iateral producers and vertical or multi-lateral injectors are
being considered to access Orion fro.m W -Pad in 2004. These wells will test the southeast area of
the field, which has relatively poor well control and no recent test data.
Phase II Develo)!ment
Orion Phase II development is directed to completing development of locations that can be reached
from existing gravel pads. Development of these areas will involve an additional 10-20 producers
22
Orion Pool Rules and Area Injection Order A( .ation
(

(
and 20-40 injectors in the UV /Z Pad area plus approximately two producers and four to eight
injectors in the W -Pad accessible area. Locations will be determined as production performance
from Phase I development, especially horizontal well performance, is evaluated and simulation
efforts are continued. The Phase II drilling program is designed to access areas with poor fault
resolution, including higher-risk, structurally complex areas.
Phase III Development
Orion Phase III development will target areas in the northwest portion of the field that cannot be
reached from L-Pad. The installation of I-Pad is being evaluated for this purpose. An estimated 10
-20 producers and 20-40 injectors will be required in this phase of the development.
Well Spacine
(
Initial production well spacing for development is nominally 160 acres with ML producer/vertical
injectors. Due to faulting, the patterns are expected to be irregular and wells may be relatively close
to adjacent wells, but will be isolated due to reservoir compartmentalization. Infill drilling and
peripheral drilling will be evaluated based on production performance and surveillance data. To
allow for future flexibility in developing the Orion Pool and tighter well spacing across fault blocks,
a minimum well spacing of 20 acres is requested.
Reservoir Management Strategy
A key development strategy is to maintain field average reservoir pressure above the bubble point.
Drilling injectors and establishing waterflood patterns as the producers are drilled will minimize
offtake under primary depletion. The voidage replacement ratio (VRR) will be balanced to maintain
average reservoir pressure above the bubble point pressure.
The objective of the Orion reservoir management strategy is to operate the Pool in a manner that will
maximize recovery consistent with good oil field engineering practices. Waterflood support and
injection conformance are key to minimizing well decline rates. The reservoir management goal is
to maintain a balanced voidage-replacement ratio. To accomplish this objective, reserVOlf
(
23
Orion Pool Rules and Area Injection Order,
cation

management will be a dynamic process. The initial strategy will be derived from reservoir-model
studies and limited well-test information, and will utilize multiple packer assemblies to control water
injection. Development well results and reservoir surveillance data will increase knowledge and
improve predictive capabilities resulting in adjustments to the initial strategy.
l11anagel11ent strategy for the Orion Pool will be evaluated throughout the life of the field.
Reservoir
Reservoir Performance Conclusions
Reservoir simulation supports implementation of a waterflood in the Orion Pool. Peak production
rates are expected to be 30-50mbd. After waterflooding commencement, peak injection rates will
be 100-125 mbd.
It is requested that the Operator be allowed to determine the field off-take rate
based upon sound reservoir management and facility operational practices.
Orion production performance can be divided into two aspects - reservoir delivery and well
operability.
Early production tests in the OBd sand at Polaris were significantly lower than
expected, possibly due to formation damage. Recent success in V -202 suggests drilling with oil-
based mud and ensuring that the wellbore stays in the best quality rock can offset formation damage.
Producer to injector ratios of 1: 1 to 1:3 will be needed to maintain reservoir pressure without high
injection pressures in individual wells, depending on well types selected.
Keeping Orion wells on line with a combination of low rates, cool production temperatures, presence
of water, and lift-gas composition and temperature, has proven both challenging and costly. V-201
well operability, affected primarily by hydrate formation during gas-lift, was a problem when the
well was first put on production. The V-201 well was switched to jet pump during the first month of
production and has produced without problems for over 1 year. Artificial-lift will be provided using
either artificial-lift gas, or with jet pumps using injection water as the power t1uid, or electrical
sublnersible pulnps (ESPs), or SOll1e combination as a function of the needs of the individual
producer.

III. Facilities
General Overview
Orion wells will be drilled from existing PBU drill sites (L-Pad, V-Pad, Z-Pad and W-Pad) and a
possible new I-Pad. Existing pad facilities and pipelines will be used to the extent possible to
produce Orion fluids to Gathering Center 2 (GC-2) for processing and shipment to Pump Station No.
1 (PS 1). Orion fluids will be commingled with fluids from other fields on the surface at the
respective well pads to maximize use of existing infrastructure, minimize environmental impacts,
reduce costs, and maximize recovery.
(
The GC-2 production facilities to be used include separating and processing equipment, inlet
manifold and related piping, flare system, and onsite water disposal. IP A field facilities that will be
used include low-pressure large-diameter flowlines, gas-lift supply lines and water-injection supply
lines. Existing MI supply lines may be utilized for potential future EOR applications. The oil-sales
line from GC-2 to PS 1 and the power distribution and generation facilities will also be utilized.
Exhibit III-l provides a schematic overview of the relationship of these pads and pipelines relative to
GC-2.
Drill Pads and Roads
Existing Well Pads L, V, Z and W have been identified as the surface locations for Orion wells to
access the expected extent of the reservoir from existing facilities to the extent possible. This use of
existing facilities minimizes new gravel placement and well step-out. The addition of a new well
pad, I-Pad, adjacent to the Milne Road, as shown in Exhibit III-l and Exhibit III-2 is being evaluated
as part of the Orion conceptual engineering effort. Expansions of existing well pad facilities at L-
Pad and V-Pad are ongoing and expansions of Z-Pad and W -Pad are being considered to support
IP A and Borealis development. The potential needs of Orion development will be considered in
these activities. The expansions at L-Pad and V-Pad will not require new gravel. Additional gravel
likely would be required at Z-Pad and W-Pad. Efforts will be made to stay within the existing

cation

permitted footprint of these well pads. Schematics of existing pads L, V, Z and Ware included as
Exhibits III-3, 4, 5 and 6.
New pipelines would be required to connect possible drill site I-Pad to existing pipelines at L-Pad.
The relationship of I-Pad to L-Pad is shown in Exhibit III-I. Pipelines would transport lift gas,
water and potentially MI from the Prudhoe infrastructure to I-Pad and would transport produced
fluids from I-Pad to the existing pipeline system. Orion production will be routed to GC-2 via the
existing low-pressure, large-diameter flowlines. The need to expand existing infrastructure by
looping pipelines or through the addition of processing facilities to accommodate Orion development
is being evaluated as part of Orion conceptual engineering activities.
Pad Facilities and Operations
Orion wells at existing pads will be tied in as dictated by facilities available at the pad. The type of
facility to be installed at the possible drill site I-Pad is being evaluated.
The Borealis owners installed L-Pad, V-Pad, and the associated production facilities to support
development of the Borealis Pool. Each pad allows 48 new wells (see Exhibits 111-3 and Exhibit 111-
4). On-pad facilities included production and injection manifolding for 24 wells, well test facilities,
safety shutdown valves, pigging facilities, controls, communications, production support and
utilities. These well pads are being modified to allow for the injection of Miscible Injectant in a
Water-Alternating-Gas (WAG) EOR process into any of the underlying pools. This expansion will
be implemented using a WAG trunk and lateral design, which will allow all of the existing manifold
slots to be used to support production wells. The balance of the surface slots on each pad will be
occupied by injection wells. Exhibit 111-7 and Exhibit 111-8 show typical production and injection
tie-ins at L-Pad and V -Pad.
The existing Z-Pad wells are tied-in to production and injection manifold skids as shown in Exhibit
111-5. All of the facilities are being used by wells producing from the Prudhoe Pool and the Borealis
Pool, but the owners of these facilities are evaluating options for expansion. The potential needs of
Orion development and possible expansion of Borealis development will be considered in this
evaluation.
26
Orion Pool Rules and Area Injection Order A(
ation

(
Existing W-Pad wells are tied into production manifold, water header and MI header facilities
installed by the IPA owners. Existing W-Pad facilities are shown in Exhibit ill-6. There are
facilities for nine new producers and an undetermined number of injectors to be tied in at W -Pad.
The need to expand these facilities is being evaluated by the IP A owners. Exhibits ill-9 and Exhibit
ill-l0 show typical production and water injector tie-ins at W-Pad.
Initially, water for waterflood operations will be obtained from the existing pipeline and distribution
facilities at existing pads. Water for waterflooding wells at the potential new I-Pad will be supplied
by extending the existing 12" water-injection supply line to L-Pad. Additional water wells are also
under consideration as a source of injection water. Supplying the water rate required by Orion will
potentially require either line looping and process expansions at GC-2 or the installation of
processing facilities on or near the well pads. These alternatives are being reviewed as part of Orion
conceptual engineering activities.
(
"
Artificial-lift will be provided using either artificial-lift gas, or with jet pumps using injection water
as the power fluid, or electrical submersible pumps (ESPs), or some combination as a function of the
individual producer. Artificial-lift gas will be obtained from the existing pipelines and distribution
systems on existing pads and by extending the 12" gas-lift supply line to L-Pad for possible future 1-
Pad. Looping of existing artificial lift lines may be necessary.
Well control will include data acquisition as well as actuated divert and choke valves.
Wells will be tested using existing well test facilities at existing Pads. Anew, two-phase test
separator would be installed at the new pad. Wells will be put into test using automated divert
valves. Test frequency and protocols are addressed in Section V.
Well pad data gathering will be performed both manually and automatically. The data gathering
system will be expanded to accommodate the Orion wells and drill site equipment. The data
gathering system will continuously monitor the pressures and temperature of the producing wells.

Gathering Center
The need for process modifications to the GC-2 production center is being evaluated as part of Orion
conceptual engineering activities. GC-2 was built to process a nominal oil rate of 400 mbopd, gas
rate of 320 mmscfd (modifications have increased this to 1,200 mmscfd) and a nominal produced-
water rate of 280 mbwpd. Production of commingled fluids at GC-2, including that from the Orion
Pool, is not expected to be limited by oil handling capacity, but is expected to be limited by gas
and/or water handling capacity.

IV. Well Operations
Existing Wells
A number of exploration, appraisal and development wells that targeted the deeper Kuparuk and
Ivishak have been drilled and logged in the Schrader Bluff Formation. However, only the V-201 and
V-202 have been drilled and completed in the Orion Pool. The Orion Pool is currently producing
from these two wells. Recent well test data for V-201 and V-202 are shown in Exhibit IV-I. These
well locations are shown in Exhibits 1-2 and 1-4.
Drilling and Well Design
Orion development wells will be directionally drilled utilizing drilling procedures, well designs, and
casing and cementing programs similar to those currently used in the Prudhoe Bay Unit and other
North Slope fields. A 16 or 20 inch conductor casing will be set 80 to 120 feet below pad level and
"
{
cemented to surface. Requirements of 20 AAC 25.035 concerning the use of a diverter system and
secondary well control equipment will be met.
Surface hole will be drilled no shallower than 500 TVD feet below the base of permafrost level.
This setting depth provides sufficient kick tolerance to drill the wells safely and allows the
angle/build portions of high-departure wells to be cased. No hydrocarbons have been encountered to
this depth in previous PBU wells. Cementing and casing requirements similar to other North Slope
fields have been adopted for Orion.
The casing-head and blowout-preventer stack will be installed onto the surface casing and tested
consistent with 20 AAC 25.035. The production hole will be drilled below surface casing to the
target depth in the Schrader Bluff Formation, allowing sufficient rathole to facilitate logging.
Production casing will be set from surface and cemented. Production liners will be used as needed
to achieve specific completion objectives or to provide sufficient contingency in mechanically
challenging wells, such as high-departure or horizontal wells.

No significant HzS has been detected in the Schrader Bluff Formation while drilling other
development wells or in any Orion well drilled to date.
However, with planned waterflood
operations there is potential of generating HzS over the life of the field. Consequent! y, HzS gas-
drilling practices will be followed, including continuous monitoring for the presence of HzS. A
readily available supply of HzS scavenger, such as zinc carbonate, will be maintained to treat the
entire mud system. Emergency operating and remedial protective equipment will be kept at the
wellpad. All personnel on the rig will be informed of the dangers of HzS, and all rig pad supervisors
will be trained for operations in an HzS environment.
Well Desie:n and Completions
Multi-lateral, horizontal and conventional wells may be drilled at Orion. The horizontal and multi-
lateral well completions could be perforated casing, slotted liner, barefoot section, or a combination.
All conventional wells will have cemented and perforated completions. Fracture stimulation may be
necessary to maximize well productivity and injectivity. Tubing sizes will vary from 2-3/8 to 5-1/2
inch depending upon the estimated production and injection rates.
In general, production casing will be sized to accommodate the desired tubing size in the Orion
wells.
The following table indicates typical casing and tubing sizes for proposed Orion wells:
Surface Inter/Prod Production Production

Plans are to run L-80 grade casing in the Orion wells. Tubing strings will be completed with either
I3-Chrome or L-80 protected with corrosion inhibitor as necessary. Tubing jewelry will be
composed of either 13-Cr or 9-Cr/lMoly, which is compatible with both L-80 and 13-Cr. Use of 13-
super chrome or equivalent is possible on certain completion jewelry.
Each multi-lateral leg of Orion horizontal producers will be completed in a single horizon (Schrader
Bluff Formation). Vertical injectors and producers may be single or multi-zone (Kuparuk, Schrader
Bluff, Sag and/or Ivishak Formations), utilizing a single string and multiple packers as necessary.
As shown in the typical well schematics (Exhibit IV -2 for horizontal multilateral production wells,
Exhibit IV -3 for conventional production wells, Exhibit IV -4 for conventional injector wells, and
Exhibit IV -5 for multi-zone injector wells), the wells have gas-lift mandrels to provide flexibility for
artificial-lift or commingled production and injection. A sufficient number of mandrels will be run
to provide flexibility for varying well production volumes, gas-lift supply pressure, and water-cut.
Additionally, jewelry will be installed so that jet pumps can be utilized providing further flexibility
for artificial-lift. Any completions that vary from regulatory specifications will be brought before
the Commission on a case-by-case basis.
r
The Orion owners may utilize surplus IP A wells for development provided they meet Orion needs
and contain adequate cement and mechanical integrity.
The injectors will be designed to enable multi-formation injection where appropriate to the Kuparuk,
Schrader Bluff, Sag and Ivishak formations. Multi-lateral undulating injector wells are also being
evaluated. No exhibit has been included depicting this well type since it is still in the conceptual
stage.
Measurement-While-Drilling (MWD) and Logging-While-Drilling (LWD) will typically begin after
setting the surface casing. Production hole will be drilled to below the Schrader Bluff Formation
and a 7-5/8" long string will be cemented in place across the Schrader Bluff Formation. MWD will
typically include drilling parameters such as weight-on-bit, rate-of-penetration, inclination-angle,
etc. L WD measurements will typically include gamma-ray (GR), resistivity and density and neutron
porosity throughout the reservoir section. Open-hole electric logs may supplement or replace L WD
(

logging, including GR, resistivity, density and neutron porosity and other logging tools when
well bore conditions allow their use.
A nine (9) to eleven (11) pound-per-gallon (ppg), freshwater, low-solids, non-dispersed mud system
or equivalent will typically be used to drill the production / injection hole down to the 7-5/8" casing
point. If any horizontal section is drilled, the mud system parameters may be optimized for that hole
section, including the use of oil-based mud.
The horizontal wells and multi-lateral wells will typically utilize 7" intermediate casing set in the
Schrader Bluff Formation. The reservoir section will be drilled with a 6-1/8" horizontal production
hole, completed with a 4-Yz" or 3-Yz" slotted or solid liner, and cemented and perforated as necessary
Surface Safety Valves
Surface safety valves (SSV) are included in the wellhead equipment for all Orion Pool wells
(producers and injectors). These devices can be activated by high and low pressure sensing
equipment on the flowline and are designed to isolate produced fluids upstream of the SSV if
pressure limits are exceeded. Testing of SSVs will be in accordance with Commission requirements.
Subsurface Safety Valves
Subsurface safety valves are not required in Orion wells under the applicable regulation, 20 AAC
25.265. In light of developments in oil field technology, controls and experience in operating in the

Prudhoe Oil Pool and the Kuparuk River Oil Pool.
See Conservation Orders 363 and 348,
respectively. In addition, SSSVs have not been required in the pool rules for the existing Schrader
Bluff formation pools (Polaris Oil Pool, Schrader Bluff Oil Pool, and West Sak Oil Pool). All well
completions will be equipped with nipple profile at a depth just below the base permafrost should the
need arise to install a downhole flow-control device or pressure operated safety valves during
maintenance operations

Drilline Fluids
Freshwater low-solids, non-dispersed fluids or oil-based mud consisting of 80% mineral oil,
emulsified with 20% water will be used to drill the Schrader Bluff Formation. Typically KCl will be
added to this mud system for weight and to reduce formation damage caused by reactive clays in the
water based systems. Other muds may be used in the future to minimize skin damage from drilling
and enhance well performance.
Stimulation Methods
Fracture stimulation has been implemented for the one vertical Orion producer drilled to date and
may be implemented in the future to mitigate formation damage, for sand control and to stimulate
Orion wells. It may be necessary to stimulate horizontal wells, depending upon well performance.
Acid or other forms of stimulation may be performed as needed.
Reservoir Surveillance Program
(
Reservoir surveillance data will be collected to monitor reservoir performance and define reservoir
properties.
Reservoir Pressure Measurements
An updated isobar map of reservoir pressures will be maintained and reported at the common datum
elevation of 4,500' TVDSS. Pressure data could be stabilized static pressure measurements at
bottom-hole or extrapolated from surface (assuming single-phase fluid conditions), pressure fall-off,
pressure buildup, multi-rate tests, drill-stem tests, repeat-formation test, permanent gauges, or an
open hole formation test. An initial static reservoir pressure will be measured on each production or
injection service well. A minimum of one reservoir pressure will be taken each year in each of the
Orion reservoir polygon areas identified in Exhibit 1-13, when at least one Orion production well has
been completed in the respective polygon. It is anticipated that the operator will collect more
pressure measurements during initial field development to identify potential compartmentalization
c
33

cation

and fewer measurements as the development matures. Data and results from all relevant reservoir
pressure surveys will be reported annually and will be available to the Commission upon request.
Surveillance Logs
Surveillance logs, which may include flowmeters, temperature logs, or other industry proven
downhole diagnostic tools, may be periodically run to help determine reservoir performance (i.e.,
production profile and injection profile evaluations). Surveillance logs will be periodically run on
comlningled injection wells to assist in the allocation of t10w splits.
Completions - Producin2: Wells
Current development plans call for two types of producing wells: conventional, hydraulically
fractured wells, and high-angle/horizontal wells. The conventional, hydraulically fractured well will
have surface casing set 500 feet or deeper below the base of permafrost, located at approximately
2000' TVDSS, and cemented to surface. A "longstring" production casing will be run from surface
to TO which will typically be set 1 00 feet below the base of the production target to allow room for
production logging. The longstring will be cemented from TD to above the highest significant
hydrocarbon-bearing interval in the U gnu section. Production tubing will be run inside the
longstring and sealed in the long string at least above theMc sand with a production packer or other
sealing device to provide an isolated annulus to be used for gas-lift. Gas-lift mandrels will be placed
in the tubing string as well as a sliding sleeve to accommodate jet pumps. There will be no
subsurface safety valve, however a nipple will be installed at approximately 2200 feet TVDSS.
There will also be nipples located above and below a production packer or other sealing device.
High-angle wells will be similar to the conventional completion described above. High-angle wells
will either have a cased and perforated completion, a slotted liner hung off in the longstring or some
other variation. High-angle multilateral completions will also be utilized to enhance recovery and
rate while reducing development costs, facility requirements, and downtime associated with lower
flow rates from conventional wells.

Artificial-lift
The primary artificial-lift methods will either be gas-lifting with lift gas supplied from the gas-lift
system or jet pumping using injection water as the power fluid as a possible alternative. Utilization
of electrical submersible pumps (ESP's) is also under consideration. It is anticipated that all Orion
production wells will require artificial-lift for the life of the well. Gas-lift has proven to provide a
bottom-hole-flowing pressure of approximately 1000 psi. The producing wells may be within the
hydrate window when they are first starting up with gas-lift, making them operationally difficult to
keep online until the wellhead temperature is above 50°F. Jet pumps are being tested and are
expected to mitigate the hydrate problems associated with gas-lift. Orion will likely experience a
mix of gas-lifted, jet pumped, and/or ESP lifted wells throughout field life.
Completions - In iection Wells
f
The injection wells will have surface casing set below the base of the SV3 sand located at
approximately 2800' TVD and cemented to surface. Exhibit IV -4 shows a typical vertical injection
well completion diagram. A "longstring" casing will be run from surface to TD which will typically
be set 100 feet below the base of the injection target to allow room for future logging. The
longstring will be cemented from TD to above the highest significant hydrocarbon-bearing interval
in the Ugnu section. Injection tubing utilizing metal-to-metal seals will be run inside the longstring
and sealed approximately 200 feet above the Ma sand with an injection packer or other sealing
device to provide an isolated annulus to be used for monitoring casing integrity. Multi-lateral
injection wells are also being evaluated. ML injection wells could be tri-Iateral wells with one
lateral drilled horizontally into each producing sand or some combination of undulating laterals
could be employed. ML injection wells would look similar to the ML producer depicted in Exhibit
IV -2. Tubing-casing annulus pressure and injection rate of each injection well will be checked at
least weekly to confirm continued mechanical integrity. A schedule will be developed and
coordinated with the Commission that ensures the tubing-casing annulus for each injection well is
pressure tested prior to initiating injection, following well workovers affecting mechanical integrity,
and at least once every four years thereafter. There will be no SSSV during water injection service,
but injectors will have a nipple capable of accepting an SSSV during MI injection.

Commin,;ded Injection
Approval is requested for commingled water injection in wells L-I03i, L-l1li, L-115i, L-117i, and
V-I05i in the Borealis and Orion pools. These wells were completed with isolation packers and
injection mandrels, which will allow multi-zone water injection. Installing a restrictive orifice in the
injection mandrels will control injection rates. Water injection allocation will be accomplished by
performing a spinner survey periodically. Additional opportunities may arise to take advantage of
commingled injection wells.

V. Production Allocation
Orion production allocation will be done according to the PBU Western Satellite Production
Metering Plan, described in the letter dated April 23, 2002. Allocation will rely on performance
curves to determine the daily theoretical production from each well. The GC-2 allocation factor will
be applied to adjust total Orion production. All new Orion wells will be tested a minimum of two
times per month during the first three months of production. A minimum of one well test per month
will be used to tune the performance curves and to verify system performance. No NGLs will be
allocated to Orion wells. All Orion gas delivered into GC-2 will be considered as having been used
or consumed as fuel, flared or lost gas, with the effect that all residue gas from production operations
at GC-2 that is injected into Prudhoe Oil Pool will be deemed indigenous to the Prudhoe Pool.

operating practices regarding the presence of H2S in accordance with 20 AAC 25.065. Conversion
of wells from production service to injection service will be in accordance with 20 AAC 25.412.
Injection Fluids
20 AAC 25.402(c)(9)
Tme of Fluid/Source
Fluids requested for injection for the Orion Oil Pool are:
(a) Produced water from Orion or Prudhoe Bay Unit production facilities for the purposes of
pressure maintenance and enhanced recovery;
(b) Source Water from the Prince Creek Formation (also known as the U gnu formation)
(c) Tracer survey fluid to monitor reservoir performance;
(d) Fluids injected for purposes of stimulation per 20 AAC 25.280(a)(2);
(e) Source water from the Seawater Treatment Plant;
(f) Non-hazardous water collected from well-house cellars and standing ponds.
Water Composition and Compatibility with Formation
The injection-water composition in the Orion Pool, based on water analysis from Polaris W -200
well, GC-2 produced water, and sea water, are provided in Exhibit VI-2. The composition of Orion
produced water will be a mixture of connate water and injection water, and will change over time
depending on the rate and composition of injection water. Based on analyses of Polaris water
40

samples, no significant compatibility problems are expected between Orion connate water and
injection water.
Injection Pressures
20 AAC 25.402(c)(10)
The expected average surface manifold water injection pressure is 2300 psig. The estimated
maximum surface manifold injection pressure is 2800 psig. The resulting bottom hole pressure will
be limited by hydraulic pressure losses in the well tubing and flow control devices.
To meet a target of 100% reservoir voidage replacement, experience in the Schrader Bluff formation
at Polaris has shown that it is optimum to inject above fracture pressure. The Orion injection wells
will be managed to keep injected fluids within the approved injection strata.
Maximum fluid injection requirements at the Orion Pool are estimated at 100,000 to 125,000
BWPD.
(
Fracture Information
20 AAC 25.402(c)(11)
It is not expected that the maximum injection pressure for Orion Pool injection wells will propagate
fractures through the confining strata, which would allow fluids to enter any freshwater strata. V -
201 was hydraulically fracture stimulated in the OA Sand. The overlying Mc Sand is considered wet
with approximately 70% water saturation. Production from V-201 has shown very little water
production indicating that the fracture did not extend vertically to the Mc Sand. Directly above the
top of the injection zone in the OA sand, there is a mudstone at the base of the overlying Nc, which
is approximately 60 ft thick. This is expected to provide fracture confinement to the 0 sands.
To ensure injection conformance, injection performance will be monitored for each injection well.
Any significant change in injectivity, which would indicate injection out-of-zone, will be followed

tracer survey to determine the location of the injection anomaly.
Formation Water Quality
20 AAC 25.402(c)(12)
Although no produced water is available to perform a water analysis, it is expected to be similar to
Polaris pool water quality.

the interval between log measured depths 4,549 feet MD and 5,106 feetMD in the PBU V-201 well
(4,126 and 4,650 feet TVDSS, respectively).
Rule 2: Fluid Injection Wells
The underground injection of fluids must be through a well that has been permitted for drilling as a
service well for injection in conformance with 20 AAC 25.005, or through a well approved for
conversion to a service well for injection in conformance with 20 AAC 25.280 and 20 AAC 25.412,
or through a well that existed as a service well for injection purposes on the effective date of this
AIO.
The application to drill or convert a well for injection must be accompanied by sufficient
information to verify the mechanical condition of wells within one-quarter mile radius.
The
information must include cementing records, cement quality log or formation integrity test records.
Rule 3: Authorized Injection Fluids
Fluids authorized for injection within the affected area are:
(a) Produced water from Orion or Prudhoe Bay Unit production facilities for the purposes of
pressure maintenance and enhanced recovery;
(b) Source Water from the Prince Creek Formation (also known as the Ugnu formation);
(c) Tracer survey fluid to monitor reservoir performance;
(d) Fluids injected for purposes of stimulation per 20 AAC 25.280(a)(2);
(e) Source water from the Seawater Treatment Plant;

,
(f) Non-hazardous water collected from well house cellars and standing ponds.
Rule 4: Injection Pressure
Normal injection pressures must be maintained slightly above the parting pressure of the Schrader
Bluff sandstone to allow economic injection rates while keeping the injected fluids confined in the
authorized injection strata.
Rule 5: Monitoring the Tubing-Casing Annulus Pressure Variations
The tubing-casing annulus pressure and injection rate of each injection well must be checked at least
weekly to confirm continued mechanical integrity.
Rule 6: Demonstration of Tubing/Casing Annulus Mechanical Integrity
A schedule must be developed and coordinated with the Commission that ensures that the tubing-
casing annulus for each injection well is pressure tested prior to initiating injection, following well
workovers affecting mechanical integrity, and at least once every four years thereafter.
If
\
Rule 7: Multiple Completion of Water Injection Wells
(a) Water injector wells into the Orion Pool may be completed to allow for simultaneous injection in
the Orion Pool and other pools so long as mechanical isolation between pools is demonstrated
and approved by the Commission.
(b) Prior to initiation of commingled injection, the Commission must approve methods for allocation
of injection to the separate pools.
(c) Results of logs or surveys used for determining the allocation of water injection between pools, if
applicable, must be supplied in the annual reservoir surveillance report.
(d) An approved injection order is required prior to commencement of injection in each pool through
a common wellbore.

Rule 8: Well Integrity Failure
Whenever operating pressure or pressure tests indicate communication or leakage of any casing,
tubing or packer within an injection well, the operator must notify the Commission on the first
working day following the observation and obtain Commission approval to continue injection.
Commission approval of an Application for Sundry Approval (Form 10-403) is required before
initiating corrective action.
Rule 9: Notification of Improper Class II Injection
Injection of fluids other than those listed in Rule 2 without prior authorization is considered
improper Class II injection. Upon discovery of such an event, the operator must immediately notify
the Commission, provide details of the operation, and propose actions to prevent recurrence.
Additionally, notification requirements of any other State or Federal agency remain the operator's
responsibility.
Rule 10: Administrative Action
Upon proper application, the Commission may administratively waive the requirements of any rule
stated above or administratively amend any rule 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 an increased risk of fluid movement into a fresh water source.

Exhibit VI-4: L-O2 Well Integrity Report
Original Completion Date:
Schrader Bluff Penetration Hole Diameter:
12/31/2002
8-3/4"
Schrader Bluff Penetration Casing Diameter: 7"
Well Status as of 8/2003: Oil Producer Gas Lift
Cement Logs Across Schrader Bluff: None
Comments: The intermediate casing in this well was cemented in two stages. The second
stage utilized an HES 2nd Stage Cementer to place cement across the
Schrader Bluff from approximately 200' below the interval. The 2nd stage
cement job was pumped as planned with the cementer located at 5253'MD.
With a gauge hole, 1289'MD of cement is calculated to be above the top of
the Schrader Bluff Na sand. Calculations using 30% excess hole size
indicate 790'MD of cement above the top of the Na sand. The plug bumped
and held at 1700psi.

Comments: The 5-1/2" primary cement job consisted of 256 sacks (612 ft3) of cement.
Floats held and the plug bumped with 2850 psi. The 5-1/2" cement job was
designed to cover the Schrader Bluff sands. With a gauge hole, 2668'MD of
cement is calculated to be above the top of the Schrader Bluff Na sand.
Calculations using 30% excess hole size indicate 977'MD of cement above
the top of the Na sand.

Schrader Bluff Penetration Hole Diameter: 6-3/4"
Schrader Bluff Penetration Casing Diameter: 5-1/2"
Well Status as of 8/2003: Oil Producer Gas Lift
~,
Cement Logs Across Schrader Bluff: None
Comments: The 5-1/2" primary cement job consisted of 239 sacks (571 ft3) of cement.
Floats held and the plug bumped with 2100 psi. The 5-1/2" cement job was
designed to cover the Schrader Bluff sands. With a gauge hole, 2342'MD of
cement is calculated to be above the top of the Schrader Bluff Na sand.
Calculations using 30% excess hole size indicate 763'MD of cement above
the top of the Na sand.

Exhibit VI- 7: L-116 Well Integrity Report
Original Completion Date: 9/14/2001
Schrader Bluff Penetration Hole Diameter: 6-3/4"
Schrader Bluff Penetration Casing Diameter: 5-1/2"
Well Status as of 8/2003: Oil Producer Gas Lift
'-'"
Cement Logs Across Schrader Bluff: None
Comments: The 5-1/2" primary cement job consisted of 217 sacks (516 ft3) of cement.
Floats held and the plug bumped with 3200 psi. The 5-1/2" cement job was
designed to cover the Schrader Bluff sands. With a gauge hole, 2494'MD of
cement is calculated to be above the top of the Schrader Bluff Na sand.
Calculations using 30% excess hole size indicate 1067'MD of cement above
the top of the Na sand.

Exhibit VI-8: L-120 Well Integrity Report
Original Completion Date: 3/17/2002
Schrader Bluff Penetration Hole Diameter: 6-3/4"
Schrader Bluff Penetration Casing Diameter: 5-1/2"
Well Status as of 8/2003: Oil Producer Gas Lift
-~-
Cement Logs Across Schrader Bluff: None
Comments: The 5-1/2" primary cement job consisted of 327 sacks (579 ft3) of cement.
Cement returns to surface were noted during the 5-1/2" cement job and the
casing tested to 2500 psi for 10 minutes. The 5-1/2" cement job was
designed to cover the Schrader Bluff sands. With a gauge hole, 2177'MD of
cement is calculated to be above the top of the Schrader Bluff Na sand.
Calculations using 30% excess hole size indicate 589'MD of cement above
the top of the Na sand.

RE:
Orion Participating Area Application
Orion Pool Rules and Area Injection Order Application
Prudhoe Bay Unit
Dear Dr. Myers and Chair Palin:
BP Exploration (Alaska) Inc. (BPXA) is Operator of the Milne Point Unit (MPU) located
immediately adjacent to, and northeast of, the proposed Orion Participating Area (OP A)
and proposed Orion Pool Rules and Area Injection Order (OPR) within the Prudhoe Bay
Unit (PBU). In this context, BPXA gives notice to the Department of Natural Resources
and Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission that MPU has no objection to the
pending application of the PBU Owners to form the OP A and OPR.
MPU has worked with PBU during the proposed OPA and OPR application processes
and respectfully submits that these applications as proposed will not conflict with the
MPU. Indeed, we believe the proposed OPA and OPR fully comply with 11 AAC 83.303,
AS 31.05.080, and other applicable state statutes and regulations.
Should you have any questions pertaining to MPU, please don't hesitate to contact Chris
West at 564-4626.
