Kuparuk River Oil Pool Waterflood
Project Summary
Cumulative water injection since waterflood startup through the end of 2021 is 664.3 MMSTB
and cumulative gas injection is 119.3 BSCF.
This data shows that the voidage replacement ratio averaged 0.86 RB/RB in 2020 compared to
0.90 RB/RB in 2021.
The Kuparuk River Oil Pool is split up in Hydraulic Units which represent regions of the
reservoir that are believed to be hydraulically isolated due to faulting and/or lithologic controls.
In 2021, 13 static pressure readings were obtained in the Kuparuk River reservoir. Average
pressure from those readings was 3,016 psi at a datum depth of 7000’ SSTVD

Schrader Bluff Oil Pool Waterflood
Project Summary
The Schrader Bluff Oil Pool cumulative voidage replacement for the calendar year 2020 was 0.85 (target 1.0) with a cumulative voidage replacement
for the life of the project is 0.86.
Initial development of the Schrader Bluff pool began in 1991 in the Tract 14 area (G/H/I/ and J pads) and consisted of vertical producers and
injectors being completed in most all of the Schrader Bluff sands (Na-Nf , Oa, and Oba). Injection into the pool begain approximately one year after
the first producers were drilled. The vertical injectors were typically installed with selective completions allowing for regulation of injection into
different reservoir sands. Starting in th late 1990’s development continued in the Tract 14 area with both infill drilling and delineation wells as well
as wells being drilled from both existing B and E pads. The development strategy shifted toward drilling multli lateral horizontal producers that were
supported by vertical multi sand injectors. In 2002 a new pad was installed, S Pad, with similar development strategy but split between the Nb and
Oa/Oba sands with dedicated Nb sand horiztonal producers and Oa/Oba sand dual lateral producers. These producers were supported by vertical
multizone regulated injectors. Limited development occurred upon the completion of the S Pad project until 2016 when delineation wells were
drilled from L Pad. The development strategy again shifted to dedicated single sand horizontal producers and injectors. In 2019 another pad was
built, M Pad, where further delineation of the Schrader Bluff began. In 2020 and 2021 efforts began do “redevelop” the existing Tract 14 and S Pad
areas which involved P&A’ing the existing well stock in an individual sand and redrilling the area with horizontal wells.
New developments in the Schrader continue to utilize source water primarily from the shallower prince creek formation. All new developments since
Hilcorp’s purchase of the asset in 2014 have utilized clean source water for injection. Utilizing produced water for injection at Milne Point has
shown to be detrimental to injectivity due to solids and produced crude carry over accumulating in the injection wells. All future developments in the
Schrader Bluff will plan to use clean source water.
Hilcorp continued the Schrader Bluff Nb sand polymer injection pilots at J and L pads that were started in 2018. Results continue to be very
encouraging with observed decreased water cuts and delayed water breakthrough. Polymer injection facilities were installed and injection initiated in
the Schrader Oa sand developments at F and Moose Pad in May and July of 2020, respectively. Polymer injection facilities were then installed at
both I and E pads targeting the Schrader Bluff Nb and Oa reservoirs in the fall of 2020. Current total polymer injection rate into the Schrader Bluff is
approximately 32,000 bwpd.
Average pressure throughout the field is 1623 psi at reference depth of 4000’ SSTVD based on 2021 surveys taken. Original pressure at reference
depth was 1730 psi.

Schrader Bluff PLT Logs and Analysis
Two PLT logs were run on multi-sand injectors in 2021. Total active injector count in the Schrader Bluff is 62 with a total of 9 active multi-sand
injectors at the end of 2021. These wells are B-02, E-12, G-01, I-07A, I-16, I-18, J-05, S-02, and S-15. The remaining active injectors are either dual
string vertical injectors targeting single intervals, single string horizontal injectors targeting individual sands, or selective completions that are only
injecting into a single zone.

Sag River Oil Pool Waterflood
Project Summary
A Participating Area for the Sag was approved in 2005. During 2021, Sag Oil Pool had the field total to 5 production wells with no active injection
wells.
There was no production from the reservoir in most of 1999 and the entire year of 2000 because it was not economical to repair the failed ESPs. At
the end of 2000, one well (MPC-23) was converted to a jet pump completion. In 2001, one well (MPF-33A) was side-tracked and completed with a
jet pump completion and another well (MPF-73A) was deepened from an idle Kuparuk well into the Sag River reservoir as an injector. One
producing well (MPC-23) was shut in for integrity reasons in 2002 and the injection well (MPF-73A) was changed to water service only in 2006 due
to tubing to inner annulus communication on gas injection.
The Sag River Pool oil production averaged 415 STBD and water production averaged 689 STBD in 2021. Cumulative production through the end of
2021 was 3.98 MMSTB of oil, 5.8 BSCF of gas, and 4.4 MMSTB of water.
During 2021 one pressure surveys in the S-90 well was obtained indicating a reservoir pressure of 3763 psi at a datum depth of 8750’ SSTVD. As
this is a single well this not indicative of the average reservoir pressure of the pool.

MPU Pool Allocation Factors
Total Milne Point production increased a total of 0.916 MMBO from 2020 to 2021 primarily due to development drilling in the
Kuparuk and Schrader Bluff pools. A decrease in water production can be attributed to several high water Kuparuk producers being
SI for ESP failures. Increase in total gas can be attributed to Schrader Bluff development drilling into previously developed lower
pressure ares which contain higher gas saturations.
