RE: CPF-2 Flaring Data for November
Steve/Jim:
As requested, we have compiled for your review a comprehensive list of all flaring events that occurred
at CPF2 from November 15th to 26th as well as some general causes for flaring at CPF2. We only had
1 flare event that lasted greater than 1 hour during this time period:
Date - 11/26/03
Time - 4:42pm to 5:47pm, 65 minutes
Volume - 87.43 Mscfs
Description: The Prudhoe Bay NGL pipeline was shutdown resulting in an unplanned shutdown and
subsequent restart of the CPF2 NGL pump. During the restart, any NGLs that have flashed in the
pump case must be bled off prior to starting the pump. The 314-inch bleed valve did not get closed
tightly after the pump case was bled off. This led to a very small amount of gas/ngls bleeding off
through this valve to the flare via our sump. The operations personnel identified the source of the flare,
reseated the valve, and thus eliminated any further leakage.
«November Flare Events Nov 15-26.xls» «Causes of Flaring at CPF2-1-04.doc»
You will notice that one of the causes for flaring is rapid change in ambient temperature. During the
Nov 15th to Nov 26th time frame, the ambient temperatures ranged from negative 30 degrees F to 30
degrees F with much fluctuation in between.

Jim - just a FYI. We lost the Frame 6 last night and the load shed
resulted in a flaring event at CPF2. The event lasted 95 minutes and
flared 4.6 MMscf. See explanation below.
Jeff
At approximately 9:00 pm on Feb 2, 2004, the Frame 6 Power Generator shut down
unexpectedly on a high vibration alarm. The unit remains out of service and the
causes are being investigated.
As per design, the unplanned shutdown of this generator initiated an extensive
field wide load shed event. This resulted in the automatic shutdown of vi
considerable electric driven equipment at CPF2, including all 3 gas injection
compressors, the D gas lift compressor, the NGL injection pump, and the A Stock
Tank Vapor (STV) compressor. Also, the Gas Turbine driven B Gas Lift compressor
shutdown as a result of the process upset.
An event of this magnitude requires considerable time and effort by operations
personnel to safely restart equipment, and reduce inlet gas rates adequately to
stabilize the plant operations and eliminate any flaring. As a result of
this event, the plant flared 4593 MSFC over a period of 95 minutes as per the
attched report.

An extended flare event occurred on February 25,2004. GC2 LPS compressor K-7000 shutdown
due to low seal oil differential pressure. The compressor was shutdown at 06:07 and 49 wells
totaling 275 MM gas were shutin starting at 06:35. Flaring occurred for 4 hrs, 7 mins until the
reduction in rate response was enough to close the flare valve. Total volume flared was 6,475
MSCF. The seal oil problem was repaired and the compressor was restarted at 13:17 hrs and we
are in the process of bringing the wells back online.
If you require additional information, please don't hesitate to call me.

Several extended flare events occurred in the past few
weeks at GPB. This is a note giving you a courtesy "heads up" on the
greater than one hour flare events you will be seeing in the monthly gas
disposition reports prepared by the Anchorage Volume Accounting Team.
* GC3 experienced three flare events on June 24, 25 and 26 due to
K5500 shutting down on high lube oil temperature. Temperature probes,
RTD's and switches were changed out during the three days in attempts to
eliminate that root cause of the shut downs. K5500 procedures were
followed to minimize flaring. Total volume for the three events was
1,261 MSCF, total duration for the three events was 7 hours and 17
minutes.
* FS1 experienced one extended flare event beginning at 10:00 June
17 and ending at 02:45 June 18 when the 1801 STV/IP compressor shut down
due to high ambients. Several attempts were made to restart and reload
the machine. Total flare volume for the event was 8,491 MSCF over 16
hours and 45 minutes,
* ~experienced two flare events on May 30 and 31 due to PLC
malfunctlo in the produced water section of the plant. The production
cuts resulting from the water section upset caused the skid 18, IP and
LP compressors to surge intermittently due to the low GC oil rate. The
compressors loaded up as GC2 oil rates returned to normal. Total volume
for the two events was 920 MSCF, total duration was 5 hours and 31
minutes.
* CGF experienced two flare events on June 17 and 18. The first
event occurred when the 1884 tandem shut down 3 times due to high
ambient temperatures over a 2 hour period. Each shut down resulted in 15
minutes of flaring. This event should have been captured as three
separate flaring events and should not be considered as a greater than
one hour event. The second event occurred when the 1805 MI compressor
shut down a recycle trip while loading the boosters. Flaring stopped
when 1805 was restarted. Total duration for the 1805 event was 1 hour
and 14 minutes, total volume was 8,677 MSCF.
* LPC experienced one flare event on June 17 when the 1808 gas
reinjection turbine shut down. Flaring stopped when 1808 was restarted.

6/28/2004 7:02 AM
GPB Flaring Incidents
'Gas was cut during the event to reduce flare volume. Total duration for
the event was 1 hour and 16 minutes, total volume was 5,804 MSCF.
* FS3 experienced two flare events on June 17 and June 20. The
first event occurred when the 1801 STV/IP compressor shut down due to
high ambients and plant upsets. After three failed restart attempts, the
spare machine (1802) was started, ending the flare event. Total duration
for this event was 1 hour and 10 minutes, total volume was 466 MSCF. The
second event occurred when the 1806 gas lift machine shut down due to
instrumentation problems. 1806 was secured and depressured, ending the
flare event. Total duration of the event was 6 hours of intermittent
flaring totaling 685 MSCF.

to be out of position and was re-calibrated. K5500 procedures were
followed to minimize flaring. Total flared volume was 1,743 MSCF, total
duration for the event was 2 hours and 44 minutes.
* GC2 experienced an extended flaring event on July 19, when K7000
was shut upon discovery of a lube oil leak. 66 wells were choked back
and/or shut in to get out of flare. Total flared volume was 3,250 MSCF,
total duration was 1 hour and 57 minutes.

new flare tips during their August, 2004 turn-around. They are pursuing
upgraded pilots to reduce purge/pilot volumes.

From:

An extended flaring event is in progress at GC2. The plant is in the
process of restarting following a lengthy (4 weeks) shut down for planned
maintenance. The GC is working through various start up issues and is
unable to load up the IP and LP compressors until sufficient oil
production is brought on line (-·40 MBD). A follow up to this note will be
sent once GC2 is able to load up the IP/LP compressors and get out of
flare.
If you require additional information, please don't hesitate to call me.

The extended flaring event at GC2 ended 9/10 at 22:35. We were finally
able to bring up sufficient oil to provide enough gas for the IP and LP
machines to load up. This was following a difficult restart after a
lengthy (4 weeks) shut down for planned maintenance. Total flare duration
was 70 hours and 35 minutes, total volume flared was 43,671 MSCF.
If you require additional information, please don't hesitate to call me.
