Reservoir Review Items per CO553 Rule 4
a) Summary and analysis of reservoir pressure by major formation.
Because all of the Happy Valley wells have commingled production (from numerous sands), it is
difficult to obtain precise individual sand reservoir pressures. Estimates can be made by reviewing
pressures in wells with only one major zone open. The most recent shut-in wellhead pressures of wells
with a single primary producing zone were compared to previous surveys (to verify fluid level for
correcting to datum pressure using a gas gradient of 0.03 psi/ft) are shown below.
The resulting average reservoir pressure by major zone is shown below. Since no new static surveys
were conducted in 2021, updates for all sands are based upon the latest SITP value and assumed
pressure gradient to datum. Note these data points may not be accurate due to unknown fluid columns
but fall in line with the produced volumes.
b) Workovers & surveys of the existing wells.
a. No new drill wells were brought online in 2021.
b. No workovers were conducted in 2021.
c. There were two Pressure/Temperature surveys run in 2021 in HVB-17 following well work
interventions which added perforations:
i. 2/2/2021 – Following the addition of the Tyonek 17L (“T-17L”) perforations, a PT
survey was run across the T-17L sands, indicating no contribution, the remainder
of the production was assumed to be entering the wellbore through the Tyonek 91
(“T-91”), since it was the only other sand open in the wellbore.
ii. 4/2/2021 – Following the addition of the Tyonek 17u (“T-17u”), Tyonek 7 (“T-
7”), Tyonek 6d (“T-6d”) and Tyonek 6b (“T-6B”) a survey was across all open

sands. The analysis of the PT survey indicates the following gas contribution from
each sand:
c) Production for 2021 Calendar Year (sub-divided by major formation)
d) Progress and tests to expand pool productive limits.
No new exploration and development wells were drilled by Hilcorp in the Happy Valley PA during the
2021 calendar year.
