By letter and application dated July 31, 2001 (received August 10, 2001), BP Exploration (Alaska) Inc. ("BPXA") requested an order from the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission ("Commission") modifying Conservation Order No. 202 ("CO 202"), Rule 9(c), which governs key well gas-oil contact ("GOC") monitoring. 2. Notice of opportunity for public hearing was published in the Anchorage Daily News on September 6, 2001 and a tentative hearing was scheduled for October 9, 2001. 3. The Commission did not receive a protest to the application. A private individual requested an opportunity to speak at a public hearing; however, it was established that the party had no comment to make on the application in this matter. The October 9th hearing date was vacated. 4. By letter and application dated September 6, 2001 (received October 2, 2001), BPXA submitted a request for changes to CO 202 Rule 12, to modify the annual surveillance reports. 5. On it own motion, the Commission proposed to consolidate Conservation Orders affecting the Endicott Oil Pool, amend surveillance reporting and add a rule governing Administrative Action. 6. Notice of opportunity for public hearing was published in the Anchorage Daily News on November 2, 2001 and a tentative hearing was scheduled for December 4, 2001. 7. No protests or requests for public hearing were filed. 8. The Commission determined a public hearing was not required and vacated the December 4th hearing date. Conservation Order No. 462' January 7, 2002 Page 2 FINDINGS: 1. Conservation Order Nos. 202 (including Administrative Approvals ("AA") 202.01 - 202.38), 216, 232 (including AA 232.01 - 232.03), 272, 297, 334, and 399 have been issued since 1984 to govem development of the Endicott Oil Pool, North Slope Alaska. 2. AA 202.01, 202.02, 202.04, 202.06 - 202.38(sic 2/13/01) and 202.39 were issued between 1987 and 2001 to authorize single events of gas flaring and well spacing exceptions. 3. AA 202.03, September 17, 1987 modified Rule 4(c), CO 202 to allow use of 13-3/8" 68 lb/ft NT CYHE ERW Buttress casing in surface holes in the Endicott Field. 4. AA 202.05 issued October 26, 1988 altered the requirements of Rule 6(c) and 9(b) of CO 202. Rule 6(c) approved a key well pressure monitoring program and Rule 9(b) approved a key well GOC monitoring program. 5. AA 202.38 issued August 10, 1998 allows for gas export to the Badami Oil Pool. 6. CO 216 issued June 2, 1986, provides a waiver of CO 202, Rule 4(b), Casing and Cementing Requirements, of the requirement that conductor casing be set and cemented at least 75 feet below the island surface for each well drilled. 7. CO 232 issued September 29, 1987 amended CO 202, Rule 9 to allow changes to GOC rules using administrative procedures. 8. AA 232.01 issued April 7, 1988 modified the area covered by CO 202 Rule 9(b). 9. AA 232.02 and 232.03 issued December 9, 1991 and December 1, 1994 respectively; modified the GOC monitor program to eliminate wells from the key well program where measurements were no longer useful. 10. CO 272 issued March 7, 1991 eliminated the requirement of reporting periodic GOR test results of producing wells in the Endicott Oil Pool. 11. CO 297, issued July 27, 1992 waived the requirements of 20 AAC 25.280(a) requiring an application for sundry approval, Form 10-403, prior to routine well work for all development wells. 12. CO 334 issued April 19, 1994 waived CO 202, Rule 6(a) to allow an extended surface casing setting depth. 13. CO 399 issued August 6, 1997 repealed the requirement of CO 202, Rule 6(a) that a pressure survey be taken on each new well in the Endicott Oil Pool. 14. The current request to eliminate the key well GOC monitoring program of Rule 9(c) is predicated on results of surveys over the last five years that have shown no measurable movement in the GOC key wells. Conservation Order No. 462 January 7, 2002 Page 3 15. BPX issued the "2000 Reservoir Surveillance Report, Endicott Oil Pool" on March 31, 2001. The report shows that 3 required GOC key well surveys were done and in addition, 15 other surveys were done to monitor gas movement within the Endicott Oil Pool. 16. BPX stated they have done approximately 15 GOC surveillance logs per year, which exceeds the requirements of CO 202 Rule 9. 17. The Operator has requested relief from the key well requirements to allow discretion to deploy GOC surveillance logs where they will be most effective. 18. A Semi-Annual Reservoir Surveillance Report was initiated by correspondence between the Operator and Commission during the early stages of pool development and waterflood startup (letter dated June 15, 1988 from Lonnie C. Smith to J.W. Buckee). The Commission determined an annual report was adequate for monitoring the Endicott Waterflood (letter D.W. Johnson to T.N. Tyler dated January 11, 1991. 19. The Operator considers certain Annual Report presentations redundant. CONCLUSIONS: 1. Conservation Order 202 was adopted on September 20, 1984 to govern development of the Endicott Oil Pool. 2. Seven Conservation Orders and five Administrative Approvals have been issued since 1984 that directly amended or waived requirements of individual rules under CO 202. Thirty-six additional AA's have been issued to authorize flaring and spacing exceptions in the Endicott Oil Pool. 3. The key well GOC monitoring program was originally adopted as one of several tools to evaluate the effectiveness of the reservoir depletion plan. 4. A key well program is no longer effective for evaluating GOC movement in the Endicott Oil Pool. 5. Consolidation of Rules and Orders that govern development of the Endicott Oil Pool is appropriate at this time to eliminate confusion surrounding current rules. 6. Changes to streamline the Endicott Pool Annual Surveillance Report will allow the Operator to document reservoir performance in a meaningful manner without sacrificing quality. 7. A rule allowing Administrative Action will allow the Operator and the AOGCC to conduct routine business without requiring notice of public hearing on all issues. 8. The record for this order includes the hearing records and administrative files related to Conservation Orders 202, 216, 232, 272, 297, 334, and 399 including administrative approvals issued under those orders. NOW THEREFORE IT IS ORDERED: 1. The requirements of Conservation Order 202 as modified by Conservation Orders 216, 232, 272, 297, 334, and 399 and related administrative approvals are hereby consolidated and Conservation Order No. 462 January 7, 2002 Page 4 reissued under this order. The findings, conclusions and administrative record for Conservation Orders 202, 216, 232, 272, 297, 334, and 399 are adopted by reference and incorporated in this decision. 2.

The hydrocarbons contained within the Kekiktuk Formation constitute a reservoir named the Endicott Oil Pool. Conservation Order No. 462 January 7, 2002 Page 5 Rule 2 Pool Definition. The Endicott Oil Pool is defined as the accumulations of oil and gas that are common to and which correlate with the accumulations found in the Sohio Alaska Petroleum Company Sag Delta No. 4 well between the measured depths of 11,496 and 12,812 feet. Rule 3 Well Spacing. Nominal 40-acre drilling units are established for the pool within the described area. Each drilling unit shall conform to quarter-quarter governmental sections as projected. No more than one well may be drilled into and produced from each drilling unit. The pool may not be opened in a well closer than a 1000 feet to any well opened to the pool. The pool shall not be opened in any well closer than 500 feet to the exterior boundary of the affected area. The Commission may administratively approve modifications to well spacing when justified. Rule 4 Casing and Cementing Requirements. a) Structural casing shall be set by driving or jetting to a sufficient depth below the mud line to ensure support of drilling fluid returns to the surface while drilling hole for a conductor string. (b) Conductor casing to provide for proper anchorage shall be set at least 75 feet below the island surface and sufficient cement shall be used to fill the annulus behind the pipe to the island surface. Cement fill shall be verified by observation of cement returns. The cement may be washed out or displaced to a depth not exceeding the depth of the structural casing shoe to facilitate casing removal upon well abandonment. (Source: CO 216 June 2, 1986) All future development and service wells, which are drilled from either, the Main Production Island or the Satellite Drilling Island after June 2, 1986, need not have a conductor casing. (Source: CO 216 June 2, 1986) c) Surface casing, to provide for proper anchorage, for preventing uncontrolled flow and to protect the well from the effects of permafrost thaw-subsidence and/or freeze back loadings, shall be set at least 500 measured feet below the base of the permafrost but not below 4500 feet true vertical depth. Sufficient cement shall be used to fill the annulus behind the casing to at least the mud line.

Evidence submitted to the Commission shall include: 1) full scale tension and compression testing; or 2) finite element model studies, or 3) other types of axial strain data acceptable to the Commission. f) Altemate means for maintaining the integrity of the well from the effects of permafrost thaw- subsidence and freeze back may be administratively approved by the Commission upon application and presentation of data which show the alternatives are appropriate, based upon accepted engineering principles. Rule 5 Completion Practices. Wells completed for production from the Endicott Pool may utilize casing strings or liners cemented through the productive intervals and perforated, slotted liners, screen wrapped liners or open hole methods, or combination thereof. The Commission may administratively approve alternate completion methods where appropriate. Rule 6 Pressure Surveys. a) Repealed (Source: CO 399 dated August 5, 1997.) b) The datum for all pressure surveys is 10,000 feet subsea. c) (Superseded by a Key Well program approved by AA 202.05 dated October 26, 1988.) d) The Commission has reviewed the Pressure Monitoring Key Well Program and hereby approves it as proposed [by correspondence dated October 13, 1988]. (Source: AA 202.05 dated October 26, 1988). e) Pressure survey, as used in this rule, means either a static bottomhole pressure survey or a transient pressure survey. f) Data from all pressure surveys shall be filed with the Commission on Form 10-412 within 45 days after the survey is taken. Conservation Order No. 462 January 7, 2002 Page 7 g) The Commission, by administrative order, may amend the key well pressure monitoring program if it is found to be inadequate or impractical. Rule 7 Gas-Oil Ratio Tests. a) After regular production from a well has commenced, a gas-oil ratio test will be taken within four months and each six months thereafter. b) Gas-oil ratio tests shall be a minimum of four hours duration unless otherwise administratively approved by the Commission. c) Repealed (Source: CO 272 dated March 7, 1991.) Rule 8 Gas Venting or Flarine. Superseded by provisions of 20 AAC 25.235. Rule 9 Gas-Oil Contact Monitoring. a) A compensated neutron log shall be run in each well prior to regular production. b) b, c, d revoked by CO 462. c) Upon application by the operator, the Commission may administratively approve modification to the gas-oil contact monitoring program. (Source: paragraph (e) added by CO 232 dated September 29, 1987) Rule 10 Gas-Oil Ratio. a) The gas-oil ratio in a well will have no upper limit if all gas produced from the pool except quantities used in lease operations or administratively approved for other purposes by the Commission, is injected into the Endicott Oil Pool. Rule 11 Productivity Profiles. a) An appropriate log to establish the productivity or injectivity profile of the intervals open to the wellbore will be run in each well within 12 months after regular production or injection commences. b) A program to monitor well productivity and injectivity will be submitted to the Commission for approval at least three months before water injection begins. c) Additional productivity surveys may be required by administrative order if underground waste of hydrocarbons appears imminent. d) Productivity surveys will be submitted to the Commission within 45 days after the date of the survey. Conservation Order No. 462 January 7, 2002 Page 8 Rule 12 Field-Wide Waterflood Proiect. a) A field-wide waterflood project is approved for the pool area. b) b and c revoked by CO 462. d) All applications for permits necessary to implement the waterflood project shall be timely submitted for approval. Rule 13 Pool Offtake Rate. a) The maximum calendar quarter average offtake rate from the pool is 125,000 barrels of oil per day. Calendar quarter average offtake rate means the daily average rate determined by dividing the total volume of oil produced in a calendar quarter by the number of days in that calendar quarter. b) The maximum calendar quarter average offtake rate of 125,000 barrels of oil per day may be exceeded for the purpose of making up a shortfall in the allowable volume of oil produced in a previous calendar quarter providing that the offtake rate for any day does not exceed one hundred ten percent (110%) of the calendar quarter average offtake rate. c) For the purpose of providing for reasonable operating flexibility, the calendar quarter offtake volume may be exceeded. The volume of oil determined by multiplying 125,000 barrels by the number of days in that calendar quarter establishes an allowable calendar quarter offtake volume. A calendar quarter offtake volume may not exceed the allowable calendar quarter offtake volume by more than one percent (1.0%) without prior approval of the Commission. Volumes of oil exceeding the allowable calendar quarter offtake volume shall be zeroed out in the following calendar quarter by producing at rates lower than the maximum calendar quarter average offtake rate until that volume of oil produced in excess of the previous allowable calendar quarter offtake volume is offset. The volume of oil produced in calendar quarters in excess of the allowable calendar quarter average offtake rate for the purpose of recovering a shortfall in an allowable calendar quarter offtake volume as provided for by (b) above is not given consideration when making a determination or the purpose of this subsection (c). d) Gas offtake is approved at a offtake rate up to 25 million SCF per day from the Endicott Oil Pool, not to exceed 100 BCF over the life of the project. Export volumes will be reported monthly on Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission form 10-422 as part of the gas disposition report. The gas offtake rate is subject to review should adverse performance cause conditions to change or other unforeseen circumstances develop that would materially change the basis for this decision. (Source: AA 202.38 dated August 10, 1998.) Rule 14 Sundry Applications a) The requirements of 20 AAC 25.280(a) are hereby waived for all development wells in the Duck Island Unit, Endicott Field, Endicott Oil Pool. (Source: CO 297 dated July 27, 1992.) b) The operator shall provide the Commission with a schedule of planned workover operations Conservation Order No. 462 January 7, 2002 Page 9 including the well and intended operation on a weekly basis. (Source: CO 297 dated July 27, 1992.) Rule 15 Annual Reservoir Surveillance Report. An annual reservoir performance report will be due April 1 each year. The report shall include, but is not limited to, the following: a) Progress of enhanced recovery project(s) implementation and reservoir management summary including results of reservoir simulation techniques. b) Voidage balance by month of produced fluids and injected fluids and cumulative status for each producing interval. c) Summary and analysis of reservoir pressure surveys within the pool. d) Summary and analysis of gas-oil contact or gas monitoring surveys within the pool e) The following year gas-oil contact or gas monitoring surveillance plan. f) Results and, where appropriate, analysis of production and injection log surveys, tracer surveys, observation well surveys, and any other special monitoring. g) Review of Annual Plan of Operations and Future Development. Rule 16 Administrative Action. Unless notice and public hearing is otherwise required, the Commission may administratively waive the requirements of any rule stated above or administratively amend this order as long as the change does not promote waste or jeopardize correlative rights, and is based on sound engineering and geoscience principles. DONE at Anchorage, Alaska and dated January 7, 2002. Cammy 0~hsli Taylor, (~hair ~ion Commission Daniel T. Seamount, Jr., Commissioner Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission Julie M. Heusser, Commissioner Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission AS 31.05.080 provides that within 20 days after receipt of written notice of the entry of an order, a person affected by it may file with the Commission an application for reheating. A request for rehearing must be received by 4:30 PM on the 23rd day following the date of the order, or next working day ifa holiday or weekend, to be timely filed. The Commission shall grant or refuse the application in whole or in part within 10 days. The Commission can refuse an application by not acting on it within the 10-day period. An affected person has 30 days from the date the Commission refuses the application or mails (or otherwise distributes) an order upon rehearing, both being the final order of the Commission, to appeal the decision to Superior Court. Where a request for reheating is denied by non-action of the Commission, the 30-day period for appeal to Superior Court runs from the date on which the request is deemed denied (i.e., 10~' day after the application for rehearing was filed).

P. O. Box 196612 Anchorage, AK 99519-6612 Re: Spacing Exception for Endicott 3-33A/J-35 Well Dear Mr. Isby: The Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission ("Commission") received your correspondence dated February 2, 2004 requesting a waiver of spacing requirements for drilling and completion of the Endicott 3-33A/J-35 well. This proposed well will produce from subzone 2A of the Kekiktuk Formation, and it will lie within 1,000 feet of the existing Endicott 4-38/K- 34 well, which has open perforations in subzone 2A. Conservation Order 462 ("CO 462") governs the Endicott Oil Pool. Rule 3 of CO 462 states in part: "The pool may not be opened in a well closer than a 1000 feet to any well opened to the poo1." The information you submitted indicates that a pressure-sealing fault separates subzone 2A in well 3-33A/J-35 from that same subzone already opened by well 4-38/K-34. The fault- separation of the proposed and existing wells is substantively equivalent to the requirements of Rule 3 in CO 462. Rule 3 also provides that the "Commission may administratively approve modifications to well spacing when justified." The Commission has determined drilling and completion of the Endicott 3-33A/J-35 well will enhance recovery, and it will not promote waste or jeopardize correlative rights. The Commission hereby approves the drilling, completion and production of Kekiktuk subzone 2A wit ín ndicott 3-33A/J-35 as proposed. DONE at e, Al dated February 3,2004. ;r The Daniel T.

Box 196612 Anchorage, AK 99519-6612 Re: Spacing Exception for Endicott 1-39A/N-I6 Well Dear Mr. Turak: The Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission ("Commission") approves the requested Spacing Exception for the drilling, completion and production of the Kekiktuk subzone 2B in the Endicott 1- 39A/N-16 well as proposed. The Commission received your correspondence dated December 18, 2006 requesting a waiver of spacing requirements for drilling and completion of the Endicott 1-39A/N-16 well. This proposed well will lie within 1,000 feet ofthe existing Endicott 2-14/0-16 well, which has open perforations in subzone 2A. Conservation Order 462 ("CO 462") governs the Endicott Oil Pool. Rule 3 of CO 462 states in part: "The pool may not be opened in a well closer than 1000 feet to any well opened to the pool." The information you submitted indicates that a continuous shale separates the currently producing Kekiktuk Formation subzone 2A interval in well 2-14/0-16 from the Kekiktuk Formation subzone 2B completion interval proposed for well 1-39A/N-16. Completion of the two wells in stratigraphically separated zones will prevent interwell competition for reserves. The stratigraphic separation of the proposed and existing wells is substantively equivalent to the requirements of Rule 3 in CO 462. Rule 3 also provides that the "Commission may administratively approve modifications to well spacing when justified." The Commission has determined drilling and completion of the Endicott 1-39A/N-16 well will enhance recovery, and it will not promote waste or jeopardize correlative rights. As provided in AS 31.05.080, within 20 days after written notice of this decision, or such further time as the Commission grants for good cause shown, a person affected by it may file with the Commission an application for rehearing. A request for rehearing is considered timely if it is received by 4:30 PM on the 23rd day following the date of this letter, or the next working day if the 23rd day falls on ~ A A-~ weekend.

Conservation Order 462 (CO 462) governs the Endicott Oil Pool. Rule 3 of CO 462 states in part: "The pool may not be opened to a well closer than 1,000 feet to any well opened to the pool." Rule 3 also provides that the "Commission may administratively approve modifications to well spacing when justified." The information submitted by Hilcorp indicates that the upper subzones of the Endicott Oil Pool are laminated and lower in reservoir quality. Because completion and perforation of the Endicott Oil Pool in well Duck Island Unit MPI 2-26 within 1,000' of another well that is open to that same pool will enhance recovery and will not promote waste or jeopardize correlative rights, Hilcorp's request is APPROVED.

The AOGCC hereby GRANTS, in part, Hilcorp's request. Rule 3 of CO 462 established nominal 40-acre well spacing for the EOP, and allowed the AOGCC to "administratively approve modifications to well spacing when justified." Rule 16 of CO 462 allows the AOGCC to waive any requirement of a rule in CO 462 or administratively amend CO 462 provided the change does not promote waste or jeopardize correlative rights and is based on sound engineering and geoscience principles. Hilcorp proposes Rule 3 be replaced by the following: There shall be no restrictions as to well spacing within the Endicott Oil Pool, except that the pool shall not be opened in any well closer than 500 feet to the exterior boundary of the affected area, unless ownership is the same on both sides of the Duck Island Unit boundary. The Commission may administratively approve modifications to well spacing when justified. The EOP is a mature oil pool. It began regular production in October 1987 and production peaked at over 130 MBOPD shortly thereafter. Current production is approximately 6-7 MBOPD or about 5% of the peak production rate. To date, over 470 MMBO has been recovered from the pool. CO 462,007 March 30, 2017 Page 2 of 2 Hilcorp states that the upper subzones within the EOP are "particularly discontinuous, unpredictable and drain small areas (less than 40 acres)." Over the past year, Hilcorp has completed three wells in the EOP that required spacing exceptions from the AOGCC. These wells have been effective in both adding production rate (a combined —275 BOPD) and additional reserves (a combined —300 MBO) to the EOP. Due to the maturity of the pool, future development targets will be small accumulations of bypassed oil that cannot be effectively recovered under a 40-acre spacing requirement. Rule 16 of CO 462 provides the authority to amend the order without the need for an administrative approval clause within a specific rule. NOW THEREFORE IT IS ORDERED: In order to promote greater ultimate recovery and reduce administrative burden, AOGCC Rule 3 of CO 462 is amended to read as follows: Rule 3 Well Spacing There shall be no restrictions as to well spacing within the Endicott Oil Pool, except that the pool shall not be opened in any well closer than 500 feet to the exterior boundary of the affected area, unless owner and landowner is the same on both sides of the affected area boundary.

Box 244027 Anchorage, AK 99524-4027 Re: Docket Number: CO-17-001 333 West Seventh Avenue Anchorage, Alaska 99501-3572 Main: 907.279.1433 Fax: 907.276.7542 aogcc.alaska.gov Application to administratively amend Rule 3 of Conservation Order No. 462 Duck Island Unit Endicott Oil Pool Dear Mr. Duffy: By letter dated January 5, 2017, Hilcorp Alaska, LLC (Hilcorp) requested that the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (AOGCC) administrative approval to amend Rule 3 of Conservation Order No. 462 (CO 462) to allow for unrestricted well spacing in the Endicott Oil Pool (EOP), in the Duck Island Unit (DIU). The AOGCC hereby GRANTS, in part, Hilcorp's request. Rule 3 of CO 462 established nominal 40-acre well spacing for the EOP, and allowed the AOGCC to "administratively approve modifications to well spacing when justified." Rule 16 of CO 462 allows the AOGCC to waive any requirement of a rule in CO 462 or administratively amend CO 462 provided the change does not promote waste or jeopardize correlative rights and is based on sound engineering and geoscience principles. Hilcorp proposes Rule 3 be replaced by the following: There shall be no restrictions as to well spacing within the Endicott Oil Pool, except that the pool shall not be opened in any well closer than 500 feet to the exterior boundary of the affected area, unless ownership is the same on both sides of the Duck Island Unit boundary. The Commission may administratively approve modifications to well spacing when justified. The EOP is a mature oil pool. It began regular production in October 1987 and production peaked at over 130 MBOPD shortly thereafter. Current production is approximately 6-7 MBOPD or about 5% of the peak production rate. To date, over 470 MMBO has been recovered from the pool. CO 462.007 March 30, 2017 Page 2 of 2 Hilcorp states that the upper subzones within the EOP are "particularly discontinuous, unpredictable and drain small areas (less than 40 acres)." Over the past year, Hilcorp has completed three wells in the EOP that required spacing exceptions from the AOGCC. These wells have been effective in both adding production rate (a combined —275 BOPD) and additional reserves (a combined —300 MBO) to the EOP. Due to the maturity of the pool, future development targets will be small accumulations of bypassed oil that cannot be effectively recovered under a 40-acre spacing requirement. Rule 16 of CO 462 provides the authority to amend the order without the need for an administrative approval clause within a specific rule. NOW THEREFORE IT IS ORDERED: In order to promote greater ultimate recovery and reduce administrative burden, AOGCC Rule 3 of CO 462 is amended to read as follows: Rule 3 Well Spacing There shall be no restrictions as to well spacing within the Endicott Oil Pool, except that the pool shall not be opened in any well closer than 500 feet to the exterior boundary of the affected area, unless owner and landowner is the same on both sides of the affected area boundary. DONE at Anchorage, Alaska and dated March 30, 2017. //signature on file// Cathy P. Foerster Chair, Commissioner //signature on file// Daniel T. Seamount, Jr Commissioner RECONSIDERATION AND APPEAL NOTICE //signature on file// Hollis French Commissioner As provided in AS 31.05.080(a), within 20 days after written notice of the entry of this order or decision, or such further time as the AOGCC grants for good cause shown, a person affected by it may file with the AOGCC an application for reconsideration of the matter determined by it. If the notice was mailed, then the period of time shall be 23 days. An application for reconsideration must set out the respect in which the order or decision is believed to be erroneous. The AOGCC shall grant or refuse the application for reconsideration in whole or in part within 10 days after it is filed. Failure to act on it within 10-days is a denial of reconsideration. If the AOGCC denies reconsideration, upon denial, this order or decision and the denial of reconsideration are FINAL and may be appealed to superior court. The appeal MUST be filed within 33 days after the date on which the AOGCC mails, OR 30 days if the AOGCC otherwise distributes, the order or decision denying reconsideration, UNLESS the denial is by inaction, in which case the appeal MUST be filed within 40 days after the date on which the application for reconsideration was filed. If the AOGCC grants an application for reconsideration, this order or decision does not become final. Rather, the order or decision on reconsideration will be the FINAL order or decision of the AOGCC, and it may be appealed to superior court. That appeal MUST be filed within 33 days after the date on which the AOGCC mails, OR 30 days if the AOGCC otherwise distributes, the order or decision on reconsideration. In computing a period of time above, the date of the event or default after which the designated period begins to run is not included in the period; the last day of the period is included, unless it falls on a weekend or state holiday, in which event the period runs until 5:00 p.m. on the next day that does not fall on a weekend or state holiday.

In relevant part, Rule 3 currently provides: Nominal 40-acre drilling units are established for the pool within the described area. Each drilling unit shall conform to quarter -quarter governmental sections as projected. No more than one well may be drilled into and produced from each drilling unit. The pool may not be opened in a well closer than 1000 feet to any well opened to the pool. The pool shall not be opened in any well closer than 500 feet to the exterior boundary of the affected area. The Commission may administratively approve modifications to well spacing when justified. (emphasis added) Over the past year, the AOGCC has granted Hilcorp three separate spacing exceptions at Duck Island Unit ("Endicott") via its current administrative authority. These recent spacing exceptions resulted in the following work and results: Approval CO Well Work Performed Results Date Perforations added incremental Added perforations in 462.004 MPI 2-26 12/21/2015 —50bopd and —60MBO of reserves. upper subzone FV (Jan 2016) 462.005 SDI 4-46 4/4/2016 Added perforations ons n i Wellwork is currently ongoing. upper subzone Perforations added incremental 462.006 SDI 4- 10/25/2016 Added perforations —225bopd and—240MBO of reserves. l0A upper subzone S3A2 (Nov 2016) Duck Island Unit Endicott Oil Pool — CO 462 Rule 3 January 5, 2017 Page 2 of 7 The upper subzones within the Endicott Oil Pool are particularly discontinuous, unpredictable and drain small areas (less than 40 acres). All three of the examples above demonstrate the potential for capturing bypassed pay from existing wellbores. Such additional recovery is not currently authorized under existing pool rules. As Hilcorp searches for additional opportunities to recover bypassed or laminated pay, the need unlimited spacing is readily apparent. Absent unlimited spacing, ultimate recovery will be compromised. Modification Rule 3 to allow for unlimited spacing will also reduce administrative burdens for both Hilcorp and AOGCC. For these reasons, Hilcorp proposes that the current language of CO 462 Rule 3 be repealed and replaced with the following: There shall be no restrictions as to well spacing within the Endicott Oil Pool, except that the pool shall not be opened in any well closer than 500 feet to the exterior boundary of the affected area, unless ownership is the same on both sides of the Duck Island Unit boundary. The Commission may administratively approve modifications to well spacing when justified. The location of Endicott Oil Pool is depicted in the attached Exhibit A. This map illustrates the relationship between the current Duck Island Unit Boundary (all of which is included within the Endicott Participating Area) and the affected area of CO 462. This map further illustrates the location of Hilcorp-operated leases outside of the DIU boundary. As a housekeeping measure, Hilcorp recommends the AOGCC recognize the Duck Unit Boundary as the affected area of CO 462. A spider map showing the location of Endicott Oil Wells is attached as Exhibit B. Working Interest Ownership associated with the Endicott Pool is depicted in the attached Duck Island Unit, Endicott Participating Area Exhibit (Exhibit Q. The State of Alaska (DNR) is the sole landowner. The correlative rights of all affected owners, landowners and operators are protected by the unitized field, and all parties will benefit from the additional recovery afforded by the proposed spacing rule.

SDI 4-46 is a producing development oil well drilled from Endicott SDI. This directional well produces from the Endicott Oil Pool as defined in CO 462. Perforation activities are set to commence after AOGCC approval is received. The location of SDI 4-46 and its relationship to adjoining properties and wells are depicted in Exhibits Al and A2. A plat and well data is provided as Exhibit B. The Well Completion or Recompletion Report and Log Permit (Form 10-407) provides the following: • Surface Location: 2670' SNL, 608' WEL, Section 8, THN, R17E, SM, AK • Top of Producing Interval: 1549' SNL, 1078' WEL, Section 9, T11N, R17E, SM, AK • Bottom Hole Location: 1580' SNL, 756' WEL, Section 9, THN, R17E, SM, AK Conservation Order 462, Rule 2 defines the Endicott Oil Pool as follows: The Endicott Oil Pool is defined as the accumulations of oil and gas that are common to and which correlate with the accumulations found in the Sohio Alaska Petroleum Company Sag Delta No. 4 well between the measured depths of 11,496 and 12,812 feet. Conservation Order 462, Rule 3 defines spacing regulations for the Endicott Oil Pool as follows: Nominal 40-acre drilling units are established for the pool within the described area. Each drilling unit shall conform to quarter -quarter governmental sections as projected. No more than one well may be drilled Duck Island Unit SDI 4-46 Spacing Exception April 1, 2016 Page 2 of 6 into and produced from each drilling unit. The pool may not be opened in a well closer than 1000 feet to any well opened to the pool. The pool shall not be opened in any well closer than 500 feet to the exterior boundary of the affected area. The Commission may administratively approve modifications to well spacing when justified. (emphasis added) Hilcorp, as the sole operator, holds a 68.37% working interest in the Duck Island Unit EndicottPA. All anticipated productive zones within 1000' of the Endicott Oil Pool fall within the Endicott Unit and PA Boundary. As a result, the correlative rights of all affected owners, landowners and operators will be protected by approval of the requested spacing exception. Exhibit B demonstrates that one well (SDI 4-34) is open to production within 1000' of the Endicott Oil Pool in the SDI 4-46 well. Based on confidential data available to Hilcorp, it is apparent that the upper subzones within the Endicott Oil Pool are particularly discontinuous, unpredictable and drain small areas (less than 40 acres). As such, the closer spacing of the SDI 4-46 is necessary to maximize recovery of oil from within the Endicott oil pool. At the date of this mailing, this spacing exception application does not affect any other operators.

This directional well produces from the Endicott Oil Pool, as defined in Conservation Order 462. 2 On November 20, 2015, Hilcorp Alaska, LLC ("Hilcorp") submitted an application to the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission ("AOGCC") to add perforations in the Duck Island Unit ("Endicott") MPI 2-26 development oil well. Perforation activities are set to commence after AOGCC approval is received. The location of MPI 2-26 and its relationship to adjoining properties is depicted in Exhibit A. A plat and well data is provided as Exhibit B. Conservation Order 46, Rule 3 governs well spacing for the Endicott Oil Pool. In relevant part, this rule provides: Nominal 40-acre drilling units are established for the pool within the described area. Each drilling unit shall conform to quarter -quarter governmental sections as projected. No more than one well may be drilled into and produced from each drilling unit. The pool may not be opened in a well closer than 1000 feet to any well opened to the pool. The pool shall not be opened in any well closer than 500 feet to the exterior boundary of the affected area. The Commission may administratively approve modifications to well spacing when justified. ' CO 462, Rule 16 states: "Unless notice and public hearing is otherwise required, the Commission may administratively waive the requirements of any rule stated above or administratively amend this order as long as the change does not promote waste or jeopardize correlative rights, and is based on sound engineering and geoscience principles." 2 The Endicott Oil Pool is defined as the accumulations of oil and gas that are common to and which correlate with the accumulations found in the Sohio Alaska Petroleum Company Sag Delta No. 4 well between the measured depths of 11,496 and 12,812 feet. Duck Island Unit MPI 2-26 Spacing Exception December 4, 2015 Page 2 of 4 All anticipated productive zones within 1000' of MPI 2-26 are located entirely within Endicott Participating Area. See Exhibit A. Hilcorp, as the sole unit operator, holds a 68% working interest in in the Endicott PA. Other working interest owners include Exxon Mobile Alaska Production Inc. (21%), Chevron U.S.A. Inc. (10%), and ConocoPhillips Alaska Inc. (fractional percentage). The State of Alaska is the sole landowner. Together, the Duck Island Unit Agreement, the Endicott Participating Area, and CO 462 adequately protect the correlative rights of all affected owners, landowners and operators. Exhibit B demonstrates that one well (MPI 2-20) is currently open to production within 1000' of the Endicott Oil Pool zones in the MPI 2-26 well. Based on confidential data available to Hilcorp, it is apparent that the upper subzones within the Endicott Oil Pool are discontinuous and drain small areas (less than 40 acres). As such, the closer spacing is necessary in MPI 2-26 to maximize recovery of oil from within the Endicott oil pool. In the near future, Hilcorp anticipates submission of a formal request to eliminate well spacing requirements throughout the Endicott Oil Pool. Until then, recompletion activities that require closer spacing than otherwise allowed by CO 462 can be administratively addressed on a case -by -case basis. As demonstrated above, the requested well spacing exception does not promote waste or jeopardize correlative rights, and is based on sound engineering and geoscience principles. Should you have any technical questions, please contact Mr. Matt Brown, Geologist, at 777-8448. For land or administrative questions, please contact the undersigned at 777-8414. Sincerely, David W.

Well 1-39a/N-16 is a sidetrack drilled last year, completed and placed on production 5/2/07. The well is currently producing from a single set of perforations which were shot entirely within one oil-bearing sand of the Upper 2B. Figure 1 (Attached) is the current wellbore schematic. Figure 2 (Attached) shows the location of the perfs at the tail of the sidetrack, and ablow-up view of the MWD log showing the perf interval. Since all flow from the well is coming from this single perforated sand of the Upper 2B, BPXA requests administrative approval to waive an initial production log.

The target zone of proposed well1-39aJN-I6 is between target (T1) and planned total depth (TD), shown in Figure 1. These new perforations will be 919 feet from actively producing perforations in well 2-14/0-16. Well 2-14/0-16 is an oil producer in zone 2A; Well 1-39aJN-16 is planned as a horizontal Upper 2B producer and will not drill into zone 2A (Figure 2). Since the two wells will be completed in different zones they will not compete for the same oil. Well 2-14/0-16 is not a sufficient offtake point for this oil due to it's proximity to the current Upper 2B GOc. The reserves targeted by 1-39aJN-16 would not be recoverable given our current well stock. BPX (Alaska) Inc. requests administrative approval to waive the spacing requirements stipulated in the Endicott Pool Rules Conservation Order 202 Rule 3 and allow well 1- 39aJN-16 to be drilled and completed within 1000 feet of existing well 2-14/0-16 Please contact me at 564-4204 if you wish to discuss this proposal.

These two wells are on opposite sides of a sealing fault and therefore will not compete for the same oil. The sealing nature of the fault between 3-33A/J-35 and 4-38/K-34 is assumed because the average pressure in subzone 2A on the west side of the fault is 1049 psia higher than measured in the 4-38/K-34 well. Therefore the fault has limited transmissibility. BPX (Alaska) Inc. requests administrative approval to waive spacing requirements stipulated in the Endicott Pool Rules Conservation Order 202 Rule 3 and allow well 3- 33A/J-35 to be perforated within 1000 feet of existing we114-38/K.-34.

Endicott Field Duck Island Unit Endicott Oil Pool October 31,200.1 IT APPEARING THAT: . . . o By letter and application dated July 31,2001 (received August 10, 2001), BP Exploration (Alaska) Inc. ("BPXA") requested an order from the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission ("Commission") modifying Conservation Order ("CO") 202, Rule 9(c), which governs key well gas- oil ("GOC") contact monitoring. Notice of opportunity for public hearing was published in the Anchorage Daily News on September 6, 2001 and a tentative hearing was scheduled for October 9, 2001. The Commission did not receive a protest to the application. A private individual requested an opportunity to speak at a public hearing, however, it was established the party had no comment to make on the hearing matter. By letter and application dated September 6, 2001 (received October 2, 2001), BPXA submitted a request for changes to CO 202 Rule 12, to modify annual surveillance reports. The Commission determined a public hearing was not required and vacated the hearing date. On it own motion, the Commission agreed to consolidate Conservation Orders affecting the Endicott Oil Pool and add a specific Surveillance Report Rule. FINDINGS: . . Conservation Orders 202 (including Administrative Approvals ("AA") 202.01 -202.38), 216, 232 (including AA 232.01 - 232.03), 272, 297, 334, and 399 have been issued since 1984 to govern development of the Endicott Oil Pool, North Slope Alaska. AA 202.01, 202.02, 202.04, 202-05 - 202.37 and 202.39 were issued between 1987 and 2001 to authorize single events of gas flaring and well spacing exceptions. AA 202.03, September 17, 1987 modified Rule 4(c), CO 202 to allow use of 13-3/8" 68 lb/ft NT CYHE ERW Buttress casing in surface holes in the Endicott Field. AA 202.05 issued October 26, 1988 altered the requirements of Rule 6(c) and 9(b) of CO 202. Rule 6(c) approved a key well pressure monitoring program and Rule 9(b) approved a key well GOC Conservation Order No. 46?1~ October 31,2001 Page 2 monitoring program. 5. CO 216 issued June 2, 1986, provides a waiver of CO 202, Rule 4(b), Casing and Cementing Requirements, of the requirement that conductor casing be set and cemented at least 75 feet below the island surface for each well drilled. 6. CO 232 issued September 29, 1987 amended CO 202, Rule 9 to allow changes to GOC rules using administrative procedures. 7. AA 232.01 issued April 7, 1988 modified the area covered by CO 202 Rule 9(b). 8. AA 232.02 and 232.03 issued December 9, 1991 and December 1, 1994 respectively; modified the GOC monitor program to eliminate wells from the key well program where measurements were no longer useful. 9. CO 272 issued March 7, 1991 eliminated the requirement of reporting periodic GOR test results of producing wells in the Endicott Oil Pool. 10. CO 297, issued July 27, 1992 exempted the Operator from requirements of 20 AAC 25.280(a) requiring an application for sundry approval, Form 10-403, prior to routine well work. 11. CO 334 issued April 19, 1994 waived CO 202, Rule 6(a) to allow an extended surface casing setting depth. 12. CO 399 issued August 6, 1997 repealed the requirement of CO 202, Rule 6(a) that a pressure survey be taken on each new well in the Endicott Oil Pool. 13. The current request to eliminate the key well GOC monitoring program of Rule 9(c) is predicated on results of surveys over the last five years that have shown no measurable movement in the GOC key wells. 14. BPX issued the "2000 Reservoir Surveillance Report, Endicott Oil Pool" on March 31, 2001. The report shows that 3 required GOC key well surveys were done and in addition, 15 other surveys were done to monitor gas movement within the Endicott Oil Pool. 15. BPX stated they have done approximately 15 GOC surveillance logs per year, which exceeds the requirements of CO 202 Rule 9. 16. The Operator has requested relief from the Key well requirements to allow discretion to deploy GOC surveillance logs where they will be effective. 17. A Semi-Annual Reservoir Surveillance Report was initiated by correspondence between the Operator and Commission during the early stages of pool development and waterflood startup (letter dated June 15, 1988 form Lonnie C. Smith to J.W. Buckee). The Commission determined an annual report was adequate for monitoring the Endicott Waterflood (letter D.W. Johnson to T.N. Tyler dated January 11, 1991. 18. The Operator now considers certain Annual Report presentations redundant.. CONCLUSIONS: 1. Conservation Order 202 was adopted on September 20, 1984 to govern development of the Endicott Oil Pool. 2. Seven Conservation Orders and five Administrative Approvals have been issued since 1984 that directly amended or waived requirements of individual rules under CO 202. Thirty-six additional AA's have been issued to authorize flaring and spacing exceptions in the Endicott Oil Pool. Conservation Order No. 46? October 31,2001 Page 3 3. The key well GOC monitoring program was originally adopted as one of several tools to evaluate the effectiveness of the reservoir depletion plan. 4. A key well program is no longer effective for evaluating GOC movement in the Endicott Oil Pool. 5. Consolidation of Rules and Orders that govern development of the Endicott Oil Pool is appropriate at this time to eliminate confusion surrounding current rules. 6. Changes to streamline the Endicott Pool Annual Surveillance Report will allow the Operator to document reservoir performance in a meaningful manner without sacrificing quality. 7. The record for this order includes the hearing records and administrative files related to Conservation Orders 202, 216, 232, 272, 297, 334, and 399 including administrative approvals issued under those orders. NOW THEREFORE IT IS ORDERED: 1. The requirements of Conservation Order 202 as modified by Conservation Orders 216, 232, 272, 297, 334, and 399 and related administrative approvals are hereby consolidated and reissued under this order. The findings, conclusions and administrative record for Conservation Orders 202, 216, 232, 272, 297, 334, and 399 are adopted by reference and incorporated in this decision. 2.

(Source: paragraph (e) added by CO 232 dated September 29, 1987) Rule 10 Gas-Oil Ratio. a) The gas-oil ratio in a well will have no upper limit if all gas produced from the pool except quantities used in lease operations or administratively approved for other purposes by the Commission, is injected into the Endicott Oil Pool. Rule 11 Productivity Profiles. a) An appropriate log to establish the productivity or injectivity profile of the intervals open to the wellbore will be run in each well within 12 months after regular production or injection commences. b) A program to monitor well productivity and injectivity will be submitted to the Commission for approval at least three months before water injection begins. c) Additional productivity surveys may be required by administrative order if underground waste of hydrocarbons appears imminent. d) Productivity surveys will be submitted to the Commission within 45 days after the date of the survey. Rule 12 Field-Wide Waterflood Projeet. a) A field-wide waterflood project is approved for the pool area. b) The field waterflood project must be started within two years after regular production from the pool has started. c) The waterflood plan will be submitted to the Commission at least three months before actual water injection begins. d) All applications for permits necessary to implement the waterflood project shall be timely submitted for approval. Rule 13 Pool Offtake Rate. a) The maximum calendar quarter average offtake rate from the pool is 125,000 barrels of oil per day. Calendar quarter average offtake rate means the daily average rate determined by dividing the total volume of oil produced in a calendar quarter by the number of days in that calendar quarter. Conservation Order No. 46? October 31,2001 Page 8 b) The maximum calendar quarter average offiake rate of 125,000 barrels of oil per day may be exceeded for the purpose of making up a shortfall in the allowable volume of oil produced in a previous calendar quarter providing that the offtake rate for any day does not exceed one hundred ten percent (110%) of the calendar quarter average offtake rate. c) For the purpose of providing for reasonable operating flexibility, the calendar quarter offtake volume may be exceeded. The volume of oil determined by multiplying 125,000 barrels by the number of days in that calendar quarter establishes an allowable calendar quarter offtake volume. A calendar quarter offtake volume may not exceed the allowable calendar quarter offtake volume by more than one percent (1.0%) without prior approval of the Commission. Volumes of oil exceeding the allowable calendar quarter offtake volume shall be zeroed out in the following calendar quarter by producing at rates lower than the maximum calendar quarter average offiake rate until that volume of oil produced in excess of the previous allowable calendar quarter offiake volume is offset. The volume of oil produced in calendar quarters in excess of the allowable calendar quarter average offtake rate for the purpose of recovering a shortfall in an allowable calendar quarter offtake volume as provided for by (b) above is not given consideration when making a determination or the purpose of this subsection (c). d) Gas offtake is not permitted because the reservoir depletion program governed by this order requires that produced gas be injected into the Endicott Oil Pool. At anytime, upon proper petition and after public hearing, the Commission will consider the merits of issuing an order establishing a gas offtake rate. That order would provide for appropriate amendments to the pool depletion program governed by this order to ensure that a loss in ultimate recovery will not occur. Rule 14 Unitization. a) Oil and gas leases overlying the affected area shall be unitized and a participating area established for the Endicott Pool prior to the commencement of regular production from the pool. b) Should unitization and the establishment of a participating area not be accomplished prior to regular production from the pool, this order is null and void. Upon petition, and after public hearing, the Commission will issue an order setting forth pool rules governing competitive lease production methods that will ensure the protection of correlative rights and the maximum ultimate recovery from the pool or issue an order mandating pool unitization. Rule 15 Sundry Applications [Rate~ The requirements of 20 AAC 25.280(a) are hereby waived for all development wells in the Duck Island Unit, Endicott Field, Endicott Oil Pool. (Source: CO 297 dated July 27, 1992.) ~ The operator shall provide the Commission with a schedule of planned Workover operations including the well and intended operation on a weekly basis. (Source: CO 297 dated July 27, 1992.) Rule 16 Annual Reservoir Surveillance Report. An annual reservoir performance report will be due April 1 each year. The report shall include, but is not limited to, the following: a) Progress of enhanced recovery_ project(s) implementation and reservoir management summary. including results of reservoir simulation techniques. b) Voidage balance by month of produced fluids and iniected fluids and cumulative status for each Conservation Order No. 46? { October 31,2001 Page 9 producing interval. c) Summary_ and analysis of reservoir pressure surveys within the pool. d) Summary_ and analysis of gas-oil contact or gas monitoring surveys within the pool e) The following year gas-oil contact or gas monitoring surveillance plan. f) Results and, where appropriate, analysis of production and injection log surveys, tracer surveys, observation well surveys, and any other special monitoring. g) Review of Annual Plan of Operations and Future Development.

Box 196612 Anchorage , Alaska 99519-6612 Re: Waterflood Surveillance Reporting Dear Mr. Tyler: The Commission has reviewed your request to submit annual instead of semi-annual Endicott Waterflood Surveillance Reports. It is our opinion that the Endicott Waterflood development is essentially complete and fully operational. Your recent surveillance report and subsequent meeting with the commission were very informative. Based on this data, the Commission has determined an annual report is adequate for monitoring the Endicott Waterflood. If conditions change considerably at some future date the Commission may require additional reports relating to these operations. Should you have any questions regarding this matter please contact us at 279-1433. Sincerely David W. Johnston Chairman dlf:RAD ...,,. ' STATE OF ALASKA ALASKA OIL AND GAS CONSERVATION COMMISSION 3001 Porcupine Drive Anchorage, Alaska 99501 Re: THE REQUEST OF SOHIO ALASKA PETROLEUM COMPANY to present testimony to determine pool rules for the Endicott Oil Pool. Conservation Order No. 202 Endicott Field Endicott Oil Pool September 20, 1984 IT APPEARING THAT: 1. Sohio Alaska Petroleum Company requested the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission to hold a public hearing in order to receive testimony for the establishment of pool rules for the development and exploitation of the Endicott Oil Pool. 2. Notice of the public hearing was published in the Anchorage Times on July 24, 1984 and in the Anchorage Daily News on July 25, 1984. 3. A public hearing was held in the Municipality of Anchorage Assembly Room, 3500 East Tudor Road, Anchorage Alaska on August 22, 1984. 4. Members of the staff of Sohio Alaska Petroleum Company presented testimony and the hearing record was closed at the end of the public hearing. FINDINGS: 1. Hydrocarbons are trapped in the Kekiktuk Formation, a part of the Endicott Group. 2. There has been widespread usage of "E:ndicott" as the field name and the field and pool should be named Endicott Field and the Endicott Oil Pool. 3. The vertical limits of the pool may be defined by the accumulations in the Sohio Alaska Petroleum Company Sag Delta No. 4 well which appears to be a typical and representative well. 4. Well control and structural interpretation are adequate to reasonably define the areal limits of the accumulation. 5. The pool is bounded by several major faults and there appear to be numerous minor faults within the field limits. 6. The areal extent of the hydrocarbon-bearing reservoir is about 8600 acres. 7. A gas-oil contact has been determined to be a planar horizontal surface fieldwide at 9855 feet subsea. 8. The oil-water contact is assumed to be a planar horizontal surface fieldwide at 10,192 feet subsea. 9. A spacing pattern denser than one well per 160 acres may be necessary to recover the maximum amount of oil. 10. The field is characterized by faulted structural patterns, inconsistent lithology and changing lateral and vertical reservoir characteristics. 11. To adequately evaluate the effectiveness of the reservoir depletion plan, the reservoir pressure, the gas-oil ratio, the gas-oil contact, and the productivity profile of wells should be monitored on a regular and continuous basis soon after regular production commences. 12. Enhanced recovery methods must be employed to achieve maximum recovery. Studies have indicated that a full field waterflood project started within two years after initial production will greatly increase recovery and will not preclude other additional enhanced recovery projects in the future. 13. Studies indicate the ultimate recovery from the reservoir is sensitive to the daily offtake rate. 14. All wells will be drilled from man-made gravel islands with a surface grade approximately 22 feet above the original mud line or ocean floor. 15 The contribution of intervals open to the wellbore in each producing well may be determined by running productivity profile surveys. 16. Initial reservoir and bubble point pressures are estimated to average 4840 psig. The reservoir temperature ranges from 200 to 225 degrees Fahrenheit. 17. Studies indicate that all produced gas, excepting volumes used for lease purposes, should be injected into the gas cap to assist in reservoir pressure maintenance. 18. Structural casing set through the island gravel and below the mud line appears necessary to conduct wellbore operations. 19. Conductor casing set and cemented a mini'mum of 75 feet below the island surface should provide adequate anchorage for a diverter system. 20. The effects of permafrost thaw-subsidence and freeze back loadings can be mitigated by setting and cementing surface casing of sufficient strength at least 500 feet below the base of the permafrost but no more than 2700 feet true vertical depth. 21. Several casing types and grades that are approved for use as surface casing in the Prudhoe Bay Field and the Kuparuk River Field are adequate for this field. 22. Perforation of cemented casing or liners, slotted liners, wire wrapped screen liners, and open hole completions appear to be equally effective completion techniques. 23. Unless the pool is operated under a unit agreement, the pool management program contemplated in the testimony can not be undertaken, without negatively impacting correlative rights. 24. Statewide regulations presently in effect govern field operations except as modified by this conservation order. NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED THAT the rules hereinafter set forth apply to the following described area referred to in this order as the affected area: UMIAT MERIDIAN T11N R16E T11N R17E T12N R16E Sections 1, 2, and 12.

That portion oft'hose lands in the S 1/2 and S 1/2 N 1/2 of Block 698 lying east of the west boundary of Sections 2 and 11, T11N, R17E, U.M., Alaska (being identical with the line 4-5 Block 698) and lying north of the south boundary of Section 11, TI 1N, R17E, U.M., Alaska (being identical with line 5-6 in Block 698) and the SW¼ NW½ oflBlock 699 and those lands in the SW ¼ of Block 699 lying north of the south boundary of Sections 11 and 12, T11N, RI 7E, U.M., Alaska and those lands in the SW ¼ NW¼ SE~A of Block 699 and those lands in the SW~A NW¼ SE 1/4 of Block 699 and those lands in the SW¼ SE ¼ oflBlock 699 lying north of the so'uth boundary of Section 12, T11N, R17E, U.N., Alaska and east of the west boundary of Sections 7 and 18, T11N, R1 SE, U.M., Alaska which are within the offshore three-mile arc lines and which are all listed as state area on the "Supplemental Official O.C.S. Block Diagram" approved October 4, 1979 and December 9, 1979, respectively. Rule 1 FIELD AND POOL NAME. The field is named the Endicott Field. The hydrocarbons contained within the Kekiktuk Formation constitute a reservoir named the Endicott Oil Pool. Rule 2 POOL DEFINITION. The Endicott Oil Pool is defined as the accumulations of oil and gas that are common to and which correlate with the accumulations found in the Sohio Alaska Petroleum Company Sag Delta No. 4 well between the measured depths of 11,496 and 12,812 feet. Rule 3 WELL SPACING. Nominal 40 acre drilling units are established for the pool within the described area. Each drilling unit shall conform to quarter-quarter governmental sections as projected. No more than one well may be drilled into and produced from each drilling unit. The pool may not be opened in a well closer than a 1000 feet to any well opened to the pool. The pool shall not be opened in any well closer than 500 feet to the exterior boundary of the affected area. The Commission may administratively approve modifications to well spacing when justified. Rule 4 CASING AND CEMENTING REQUIREMENTS. a) Structural casing shall be set by driving or jetting to a sufficient depth below the mud line to ensure support of drilling fluid returns to the surface while drilling hole for a conductor string. b) Conductor casing to provide for proper anchorage shall be set at least 75 feet below the island surface and sufficient cement shall be used to fill the annulus behind the pipe to the island surface. Cement fill shall be verified by observation of cement returns. The cement may be washed out or displaced to a depth not exceeding the depth of the structural casing shoe to facilitate casing removal upon well abandonment. c) Surface casing, to provide for proper anchorage, for preventing uncontrolled flow and to protect the well from the effects of permafrost thaw-subsidence or freeze back loadings, shall be set at least 500 measured feet below the base of the permafrost but not below 2700 feet true vertical depth. Sufficient cement shall be used to fill the annulus behind the casing to at least the mud line. d) Surface casing types and grades approved for use include: 1) 13-3/8 inch, 72 pounds/foot, L-80 Buttress; 2) 13-3/8 inch, 72 pounds/foot, N-80 Buttress; 3) 13-3/8 inch, 68 pounds/foot, MN-80 Buttress; 4) 1.0-3/4 inch, 45.5 pounds/foot, K-55 Buttress; 5) 10-3/4 inch, 45.5 pounds/foot, HF-ERW Arctic Grade, J-55 Buttress; 6) 9-5/8 inch, 36 pounds/foot, K-55 Buttress; 7) 9-5/8 inch, 40 pounds/foot, K-55 Buttress; 8) 9-5/8 inch, 36 pounds/foot, HF-ERW Arctic Grade, J-55 Buttress; 9) 9-5/8 'inch, 40 pounds/foot, HF-'ERW Arctic Grade, J-55 Buttress; 10) 9-5/8 :inch, 47 pounds/foot, L-80 Buttress. e) The Commission may administratively approve additional types and grades of surface casing upon a showing that the proposed casing and connection can withstand the permafrost thaw- subsidence and freeze back loadings which may be experienced. Evidence submitted to the Commission shall include: 1) full scale tension and compression testing; or 2) finite element model studies, or 3) other types of axial strain data acceptable to the Commission. f) Alternate means for maintaining the integrity of the well from the effects of permafrost thaw- subsidence and freeze back may be administratively approved by the Commission upon application and presentation of data which show the alternatives are appropriate, based upon accepted engineering principles. Rule 5 COMPLETION PRACTICES. Wells completed for production from the Endicott Pool may utilize casing strings or liners cemented through the productive intervals and perforated, slotted liners, screen wrapped liners or open hole methods, or combination thereof. The Commission may administratively approve alternate completion methods where appropriate. Rule 6 PRESSURE SURVEYS. a) Prior to regular production, a pressure survey shall be taken on each well. b) The datum for all pressure surveys is 10,000 feet subsea. c) After regular production commences in each governmental section, a pressure survey shall be taken within six months and again within 12 months on at least one well in the section. d) Within 12 months after regular production from the pool starts, the operator will submit to the Commission for approval a key-well program setting forth the long term pressure monitoring program for the pool. e) Pressure survey, as used in this rule, means either a static bottomhole pressure survey or a transient pressure survey. f) Data from all pressure surveys shall be filed with the Commission on Form 10-412 within 45 days after the survey :is taken. g) The Commission, 'by administrative order, may amend the key well pressure monitoring program if it is found to be inadequate or impractical. Rule 7 GAS-OIL RATIO TESTS. a) After regular production from a well has commenced, a gas-oil ratio test will be taken within four months and each six months thereafter. b) Gas-oil ratio tests shall be a minimum of four hours duration unless otherwise administratively approved by the Commission. c) Gas-oil ratio tests will be reported on Form 10-409 and submitted within 45 days after the tests are taken. iRule 8 GAS VENTING OR FLARING. a) The venting or flaring of gas is prohibited except as may be authorized by the Commission for facility safety, cases of emergency or operational necessity. b) Infrequent operations where flaring is necessary, such as the initial commissioning of facilities, plant start-ups after maintenance or tie-in shutdowns and other special activities, may be administratively approved by the Commission upon written request. c) The Commission will administratively set volumes for safety flares upon receipt of a written request and accompanied by adequate data to support the request. Rule 9 GAS-OIL CONTACT MONITORING. a) A compensated neutron log shall be run in each well prior to regular production. b) A compensated neutron log shall be run in one well per governmental section within 12 months after regular production starts. c) A key-well gas-oil contact monitoring program will be submitted to the Commission for approval within 12 months after regular production from the pool commences and will constitute the long term gas-oil contact monitoring program. d) Compensated neutron logs will be submitted within 45 days after they are taken. Rule 10 GAS-OIL RATIO. a) The gas-oil ratio in a well will have no upper limit if all gas produced from the pool except quantities used in lease operations or administratively approved for other purposes by the Commission, is injected into the Endicott Oil Pool. Rule 11 PRODUCTIVITY PROFILES. a) An appropriate log to establish the productivity or injectivity profile of the intervals open to the wellbore will be run in each well within 12 months after regular production or injection commences. b) A program to monitor well productivity and injectivity will be submitted to the Commission for approval at least three months before water injection begins. c) Additional productivity surveys may be required by administrative order if underground waste of hydrocarbons appears :imminent. d) Productivity surveys will be submitted to the Commission within 45 days after the date of the survey. Rule 12 iFIELD-WIDE WATERFLOOD PROJECT. a) A field-wide waterflood project is approved for the pool area. b) The field waterflood project must be started within two years after regular production from the pool has started. c) The waterflood plan will be submitted to the Commission at least three months before actual water injection begins. d) All applications for permits necessary to implement the waterflood project shall be timely submitted for approval. Rule 13 POOL OFFTAKE RATE. a) The maximum calendar quarter average offtake rate from the pool is 125,000 barrels of oil per day. Calendar quarter average offtake rate means the daily average rate determined by dividing the total volume of oil produced in a calendar quarter by the number of days in that calendar quarter. b) The maximum calendar quarter average offtake rate of 125,000 barrels of oil per day may be exceeded for the purpose of making up a shortfall in the allowable volume of oil produced in a previous calendar quarter providing that the offtake rate for any day does not exceed one hundred ten percent (110%) of the calendar quarter average offtake rate. c) For the purpose of providing for reasonable operating flexibility, the calendar quarter offtake volume may be exceeded. The volume of oil determined by multiplying 125,000 barrels by the number of days in that calendar quarter establishes an allowable calendar quarter offtake volume. A calendar quarter offtake volume may not exceed the allowable calendar quarter offtake volume by more than one percent (1.0%) without prior approval of the Commission. Volumes of oil exceeding the allowable calendar quarter offtake volume shall be zeroed out in the following calendar quarter by producing at rates lower than the maximum calendar quarter average offtake rate until that volume of oil produced in excess of the previous allowable calendar quarter offtake volume is offset. The volume ofoil produced in calendar quarters in excess of the allowable calendar quarter average offtake rate for the purpose of recovering a shortfall in an allowable calendar quarter offiake volume as provided for by (b) above is not given consideration when making a determination or the purpose of this subsection (c). d) Gas off-take is not permitted because the reservoir depletion program governed by this order requires that produced gas be injected into the Endicott Oil Pool. At anytime, upon proper petition and after public hearing, the Commission will consider the merits of issuing an order establishing a gas offiake rate. That order would provide for appropriate amendments to the pool depletion program governed by this order to ensure that a loss in ultimate recovery will not occur. Rule 14 UNITIZATION. a) Oil and gas leases overlying the affected area shall be unitized and a participating area established for the Endicott Pool prior to the commencement of regular production from the pool. b) Should unitization and the establishment of a participating area not be accomplished prior to regular production from the pool, this order is null and void. Upon petition and after public hearing, the Commission will issue an order setting forth pool rules governing competitive lease production methods that will ensure the protection of correlative rights and the maximum ultimate recovery from the pool or issue an order mandating pool unitization.

Standard Alaska Production Company, operator of the Duck Island Unit submitted a request, dated May 13, 1986, for a blanket waiver of Endicott Field rules, Conservation Order No. 202, September 20, 1984, Rule 4(b), Casing and Cementing Requirements, for all the remaining wells to be drilled in the Endicott Field, Duck Island Unit. The referenced rule requires that conductor casing be set and cemented at least 75 feet below the island surface for each well drilled. 2. Notice of the request was published in the Anchorage Times on May 16, 1986. 3. There were no protests to the requested waiver. FINDINGS: 1. Structural casing has been driven to at least 75 feet below the island surface for all wells on the Main Production Island (MPI) and the Satellite Drilling Island (SDI). 2. The primary use of the conductor casing is for installation and use of a diverter system while drilling the hole for the Surface casing. 3. Following the drilling of one well on each island, the requirement for a diverter system on all future wells to be drilled from either the MPI and SDI was waived by letter dated April 25, 1986. 4. Development and service wells have been drilled from each island without indication of shallow surface gas. CONCLUSIONS: A Conductor casing is no longer necessary to drill wells from either the MPI or the SDI. NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED: Rule 4(b) of Conservation Order No. 202 is amended to read as follows: Rule 4(b) Conductor casing to provide for proper anchorage shall be set at least 75 feet below the island surface and sufficient cement shall be used to fill the annulus behind the pipe to the island surface. Cement fill shall be verified by observation of cement returns. The cement may be washed out or displaced to a depth not exceeding the depth of the structural casing shoe to facilitate casing removal upon well abandonment. All future development and service wells which are drilled from either the Main Production Island or the Satellite Drilling Island after June 2, 1986, need not have a conductor casing.

The revision would eliminate one well from the key well program, reducing the number of key wells to four. To date movement of the GOC has occurred through the 2B subzone in the 2-04/M-19 well. No additional movement has been detected since June, 1992. New surveys in this well would not Provide GOC movement data due to a gas underrun in the upper 2A sand. The remaining four key wells and additional surveys in other wells are adequate to monitor GOC movement. The Commission detemfines removal of well 2-04/M-19 from the GOC Monitoring Key Well Program will not significantly affect the ability to monitor gas cap movement and will not promote waste.

Notice of the request was pUblished in the Anchorage Daily News on February 25, 1994. 3. No protests were filed with the Commission. FINDINGS: Structural casing is driven or jetted to a sufficient depth below the mud line to ensure support of drilling fluid returns to the surface for all wells drilled on the Main Production Island (MPI) and the Satellite Drilling Island (SDI). 2. A diverter is installed on the structural casing while drilling surface hole. Conductor casing is not required in wells drilled after June 2, 1986, on the Main Production Island (MPI) and the Satellite Drilling Island (SD1) per CO No. 216. 4. Surface casing cannot be set below 2700' TVD per CO No. 202, approved on November 22, 1988. 5. The build portion of a directional well drilled on the MPI and the SDI is above 4500' TVD. 6. Key seats may develop if drilling the build portion of a well below surface casing. Experience at Prudhoe Bay shows higher or equal formation leakoff tests result by setting surface casing deeper than 2700' TVD. Information from previously drilled MPI and SDI Endicott wells indicates zones to 4500' TVD are safely drilled using a diverter on the structural casing with a mud weight of 9.0 to 9.5 ppg. . No hydrocarbon intervals have been encountered above 4500' TVD while drilling wells on the MPI and SDI. Conservation Order No. 334 April 19, 1994 Page 2 10. The surface casing setting depths were extended below 2700' TVD in the Prudhoe Bay and Kuparuk River Fields with no resulting problems. CONCLUSIONS: On the Endicott MPI and on the SDI the structural casing has served as the diverter string while drilling surface hole since June 2, 1986. , Surface hole can be safely drilled to depths of 4500' TVD in the Endicott Field using a diverter installed on structural casing. NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED THAT: Rule 4(c) of CO 202 is amended to read as follows: Surface casing adequate to provide for proper anchorage, for preventing uncontrolled flow, and to protect the well from the effects of permafrost thaw-subsidence and/or freeze-back loading, shall be set at least 500 measured feet below the base of the permafrost, but not below 4500 feet true vertical depth.

Notice of the request was published in the Anchorage Daily News on July 18, 1997. 3. No protests were filed with the Commission. FINDINGS: Rule 6(a) requires a pressure survey be taken on each well prior to regular production. , Rule 6(c) and 6(d) require annual pressure surveys in each governmental section and a key well pressure program to monitor reservoir pressure in the pool. , A pressure survey in each new well may or may not be useful for reservoir management purposes depending on where the survey is taken in the reservoir. Results and analysis of pressure monitoring have been presented annually to the AOGCC. o Changes to the key well program have been proposed and approved on occasion to meet needs of reservoir management and to accommodate problems in a particular well. 6. Over 650 pressure surveys have been conducted in the Endicott pool sine 1986. Conservation Order 399 August 5, 1997 Page 2 The operator has averaged approximately 60 surveys per year. CONCLUSIONS: 1. Waiving the requirement to measure reservoir pressure in each new well will not cause waste or jeopardize correlative rights. 2. Pressure data required for reservoir management should be acquired in wells and subzones throughout the reservoir where it is required to answer questions or is needed to plan efficient development. 3. The Endicott Pool key well pressure data is reported regularly and is subject to annual review by the Commission.

The subzones are recognized across the reservoir, although they are broken by various faults. A major east-west trending fault offsets subzones and separates the Niakuk Fault Slice from the rest of the field. Pressure data taken since field startup indicate that there is at least partial pressure communication between that Niakuk Fault Slice and the MPI production area. A second major east-west trending fault offsets the subzones across the middle of the reservoir, and pressure communication appears to be limited across this fault system, ~ssentially between the MP! and SDI development areas. The sands in subzones 2A, 2B, and to some extent 3A, are massive and continuous over a large area, although they are slightly displaced along the fault zone. This displacement will make it necessary to monitor subzonal pressures in both the MPI and SDI regions. The subzones 3B and 3C generally exhibit lower net-to-gross ratios with sands that are more limited in nature, due to a relatively lower energy environment of deposition. In certain areas, subzone 3B is almost completely shale. These sequences may result in limited pressure communication between the sand lenses, as verified by RFT data taken since field startup. With this general reservoir description in mind, we make the following proposals for the Endicott Pressure Monitor Key Well Program: 1) The Key well program will include wells completed in various subzones in the MPI, SDI and Niakuk Fault slice areas. Surveys will be obtained at least every 12 months. As shown in figure 1, the wells to be monitored include: well Zone Area 1-09/J-18 2B/2A 2-08/K-16 3A 2-26/N-14 3C Niakuk Fault Slice Niakuk Fault Slice Niakuk Fault Slice 2-14/0-16 2B/2A 2-28/P-19 3A 2-52/S-14 3C 1-29/M-25 2A 1-35/0-25 2B 1-55/R-25 3C MPI MPI MPI MPi MPI SDI (drilled from completed south of fault) MPI, 3-01/N-29 2B 3-05/0-29 3A 3-33/K-37 2B/2A 3-35/L-36 3A 3-47/Q-35 3C 4-26/O-34 3B SDI SDI SDI SDI SDI SDI 2) With the zonal coverage of the reservoir, we recommend that pressure monitoring requirements based on governmental sections be waived. 3) The results of pressure monitoring should be reviewed with the AOGCC in September, 1989 for possible modification, due te the impact of further development drilling and implementation of waterflood. FIGURE 1 29 ISTANDARD ALASKA PRODUCTION COMPANYI ENDICOTT OIL FIELD KEY PRESSURE MONITOR WELLS OCTOBER 1988 I ZONE TO BE PRESSURE MONITORED 1 I. 32 '1 ~ I 34 I I ENDICOTT OIL FIELD - ALASKA GAS-OIL CONTACT MONITOR KEY WELL PROGRAM OCTOBER 1988 ENDICOTT GAS-OIL CONTACT MONITOR KEY WELL PROGRAM The Endicott Reservoir is comprised of five major producing intervals, which have been labelled subzones 3C, 3B, 3A, 2B, and 2A. The subzones are recognized across the reservoir, although they are broken by various faults. A major east-west trending fault offsets subzones and separates the Niakuk Fault Slice from the rest of the field. Pressure data taken since field startup indicate that there is at least partial pressure communication between that Niakuk Fault Slice and the MPI production area. To the north of the fault system, an area accessed by wells drilled from the MPI, gas caps are present in zones 3A, 2B and 2A. The gas caps extend into the Niakuk Fault slice area. Gas caps are mapped in subzone 3B and 3C sands, but a fluid contact has not been logged in these areas. In the wells drilled to the south of the fault system in the SDI area, gas caps have not been observed in subzones 2A and 2B, although minor caps are mapped. Subzone 3A has the most siginificant gas cap south of the fault system, and a gas oil contact has been logged in one well in this area. Gas sands are present in subzones 3B and 3C although the gas-oil contact has not been logged in those subzones. The maps show the possible extent of gas caps based on current structural interpretation. Stratigraphically, subzones 3C and 3B~ are quite shaley, and the gas will be present only in the sand intervals. Overall, the reservoir has a relatively steep dip of 6 degrees. In the MPI ar~a, wells in the three major subzones are completed within 1000-1500 feet laterally of the gas caps. Opportunities to monitor true "vertical" gas movement are limited. Monitoring gas underrunning is not possible because there are no updip wells in which to monitor gas movement. This is illustrated in figures 1 through 5. The maps show the currently mapped subzonal gas caps and the currently drilled wells which drain those subzones. N.Dte the close proximity of the gas caps to the wells draining the zones. Figure 6 is a cross section through wells in the Niakuk Fault slice, and is useful for illustrating the geometry of the reservoir. The subzonal divisions (3C, 3B, 3A, 2B, 2A) of the reservoir are shown in the cross section. As the diagram shows, the gas cap identified in well 1-01/J-19 is in subzone 2B, a subzone being drained downdip by well 1-09/J-18. This situation is typical in the Endicott reservoir; the production interval in a subzonal completion is normally in the gas cap one well row to the north. From the cross section, it is evident that gas underrunning shales is to be expected. Recent testing of well 2- 08/K-16 has shown it to have a gas-oil ratio of 1200 scf/stb. Although the point of gas entry into ~he well has not yet been confirmed, a gas underrun into the uppermost perforations is the suspected mechanism, as shown in the cross section. In this case, downho!e equipment will be configured to confirm the point of gas entry. Given the geometry of this reservoir and the sparsity of wells, we do not believe that gas underrunning can be anticipated by time lapse logging methods. Also, due to the relatively limited gas cap, the near proximity of the major zonal gas caps to the producing intervals, and the faulting complexities of the reservoir, a GOC Key Well program based on logging one well per section appears to be an inappropriate method of monitoring gas movement. Gas encroachment has been recognized to date by routine monthly well testing. The entry of gas into select perforations has been identified using a variety of methods, including PNL and CNL logs, production logs (flowmeter and temperature), and zonal isolation using downhole production equipment. Results of these monitoring efforts are detailed in figure 7, which shows the current status of wells with producing GORs above 1000 scf/stb. These surveillance methods will continue to be employed to identify gas influx. With these considerations in mind, we make 'the following proposals for the Endicott GOC Key Well Program: 1) The GOC Key Well Monitoring Program will be comprised of two wells in the Niakuk Fault area, three wells in MPI area, and one well in the SDI area. Surveys will be obtained at least every 12 months. The wells are: WELL MONITOR AREA ZONE 1-01/J-19 2B Niakuk Fault--S~ice 1-09/J-18 3A Niakuk Fault Slice 1-27/P-20 3A MPI 1-29/M-25 3A/2B MPI 2-04/M-19 2B MPI 3-01/N-29 3A/2B SDI The locations of these wells are shown in figure 8. They represent the optimum locations for monitoring the reservoir at this time. Additional candidates will be considered as drilling continues. 2) The requirement for one survey per governmental section should be waived, based on the reservoir geometry considerations and areally limited gas caps. 3) The GOC Key Well program should be reviewed in September 1989 with the AOGCC for modification if necessary. At that time, all pertinent production information, time lapse logging results, production logging and zonal isolation test results should be evaluated. y II %.% 1'"' TOP OF SUBZONE 2A SCALE ' 1"= 2400' I I1! f.

Box 196612 Anchorage, Alaska 99519-6612 (907) 561-5111 BP Exploration (Alaska) Inc. as Operator of the Endicott Oil Pool annually submits a Reservoir Surveillance Report to the AOGCC pursuant to Conservation Order 202 Rule 12 and subsequent letters, dated June 15, 1988, and January 11,1991. BP proposes minor changes designed to streamline this annual report and still fulfill all existing reporting requirements. The revised report format is more consistent with similar reports submitted by other North Slope Oil Pools. Specifically these changes in the Reservoir Surveillance Report for the Endicott Oil Pool are summarized below: · Replace Appendix 1, Production Rate vs. Time plots by each area and subzone, (17 plots) with a single plot of Production Rate vs. Time for the entire Endicott Pool · Replace Appendix 2, Cumulative Crude Production and Percent Recovery vs. Time plots by each area and subzone, (17 plots) with a single plot of Cumulative Crude Production and Percent Recovery vs. Time for the entire Endicott Pool · Replace Appendix 3, Cumulative Voidage and Reservoir Pressure vs. Time plots, (17 plots) with a single plot of Cumulative Voidage vs. Time for the entire Endicott Pool · Eliminate Appendix 6; Pressure vs. Time plots by each area and subzone BP believes these proposed changes create a more concise report on reservoir performance of the Endicott Pool without sacrificing clarity. No reduction in reservoir surveillance activities is associated with these proposed changes in the Report format. All other aspects of the Reservoir Surveillance Report remain unchanged. BP continues to monitor and manage reservoir performance of the Endicott oil pool on the area and subzone level. Internal and partner processes are in place that insure that this data previously presented in the Reservoir Surveillance Report is reviewed on a minimum of an annual basis.

Box 196612 Anchorage, Alaska 99519-6612 (907) 561-5111 Request for Modification of Conservation Order 202, Rule 9 (c) Dear Sirs: BP Exploration (Alaska) Inc., as operator of the Endicott Field, submits this request to the Commission on behalf of the field owners to modify the requirements of Conservation Order 202, rule 9 (c), to remove the key-well gas-oil contact monitoring program. BP, pursuant to Conservation Order 202 rule 9 (c), established a dedicated six well program for monitoring the GOC movement in the Endicott Oil Pool. These wells were chosen to monitor gas movements within specific sand intervals in the three fault blocks at Endicott Oil Pool. Subsequent to inception of the program three wells, 3-01/N-29, 2-04/M- 19 and 1-09/J- 18, have been removed from the monitoring program due to gas influx from maturing reservoir depletion. The three remaining key-wells are 1-01/J-19, 1-27/P-20 and 1-29/M-25. The reasons for removing the requirement of a key-well gas-oil contact monitoring program for the Endicott Oil Pool are summarized below' The Operator has conducted a regular program of gas-oil contact logging from numerous wells that are not part of the key well monitoring program. Over the last five years this has averaged about 15 wells per year, which is more than adequate to support prudent reservoir management practices. · Maturity of the field is such that no significant movement of the GOC has been observed during the past five years in the current key-wells. · As the field matures, the field areas with gas-related issues will continually change. Flexibility is required to plan each year's gas-oil contact surveillance program. A list of the key well gas-oil contact monitoring program results through 2000 is attached.
