Test 19 Injection Wells for Tubing/Casing ) Other Order 185
Annulus Mechanical Integrity at Nikaitchuq Unit. )
July 21, 2021
DECISION AND ORDER
On May 25, 2021, the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (AOGCC) issued a Notice
of Proposed Enforcement Action (Notice) to Eni US Operating Company, Inc. (Eni) regarding late
mechanical integrity tests (MIT). The Notice was based upon Eni's performance of well
operations at its Nikaitchuq Unit (NU) after failing to test 19 injection wells for mechanical
integrity as required by AOGCC Order and regulation. The Notice proposed specific corrective
actions and a $440,000 civil penalty under AS 31.05.150(a).
Eni requested an informal review. That review was held July 8, 2021.
Summary of Proposed Enforcement Action:
A review of injection well activities performed at NU by Eni revealed 19 wells were not tested for
mechanical integrity within the required four-year cycle, a violation of Area Injection Order 36
and AOGCC regulations. After gathering information and further discussions with Eni, AOGCC
proposed a $440,000 civil penalty.
Informal Review:
Eni met with AOGCC on July 8, 2021 to present the results of its internal review. Eni's
presentation outlined the summary of events, the root causes for missing the MIT deadlines, and
solutions in response to the proposed enforcement. Eni did not dispute the violations alleged in
the Notice. Eni acknowledged that this violation is a reoccurrence of the missed MITs of four
years previous as documented in Other Order 124, and that the 2016 changes to Eni's tracking
system proposed to rectify the 2016 violations were insufficient to prevent reoccurrence. Eni
questioned the penalty amount during the review, suggesting it be reduced.
Other Order 185
July 21, 2021
Page 2 of 5
Discussion
MITs for the 19 injection wells were due during the month of December 2020 based on the
previous tests being completed in December 2016 (Table 1). Eni notified AOGCC that the MITs
were missed and overdue on March 17, 2021. Eni never requested additional time to complete the
tests.
The MIT violations at NU are not isolated and demonstrate Eni's ongoing compliance problems,
including:
- Failure to test l I injection wells for tubing/casing annulus MIT at NU resulted
in a penalty of $110,000 to Eni on July 26, 2017.1 Since that time, two other
enforcement actions have been issued;
- Failure to submit blow out prevention equipment (BOPE) test reports at Nordic
Rig 4 of November 8 and November 15, 2018, resulting in a Notice of Violation
(NOV) issued by AOGCC on December 6, 20182; and
- Failure to complete a required sundry report of well work within the required
time for NU well SD37-DSPI; $10,000 s
The failure to conduct MITs on the 19 NU wells occurred after AOGCC fined Eni $110,000 for
its failure to conduct MITs on 11 NU wells in 2016. Those tests were witnessed in December
2016, making the next testing due date December 2020. The failure to test in December 2020 —
the subject of this enforcement action — is the exact same violation and occurred after the
imposition of the $ 110,000 penalty.
Other Order 124 states:
"In addition to the civil penalty, Eni is required to develop and implement a
tracking system for regulatory obligations, including an automated alert for
approaching and past -due obligations, with notifications provided to Eni personnel
responsible for the regulatory obligation. "
' Other Order 124, Issued July 26, 2017, Docket OTH-17-001
'Docket OTH-18-059
' Other Order 171 issued September 20, 2020 (AOGCC Docket OTH-20-043)
Other Order 185
July 21, 2021
Page 3 of 5
For these violations, the AOGCC intends to impose civil penalties on Eni as follows.4
- $380,000 — ($20,000 for each of the initial violations of 19 wells) failure to
perform the required MITs of the 19 injection wells in compliance with testing
protocols specified in Rule 6 of AIO 36;
- $60,000 — ($10,000 for each of the four wells that failed the overdue MIT
witnessed on March 21, 20215 and the two wells that exhibited tubing by inner
annulus (TX1A) pressure communication and subsequently failed their MITs. 6)
Findin¢s and Conclusions:
Eni continues to violate Area Injection Order 36 during the operation of injection wells at NU by
failing to perform the required MITs on 19 wells. The factors in AS 31.05.150(g) have been
considered in the determination of penalties for the violations.' Eni worked with diligence and
urgency to coordinate with AOGCC to witness the required testing. The passing tests on 13 of
the 19 NU injection wells, witnessed by AOGCC on March 21, 2021, and April 30, 2021, have
mitigated the penalty imposed. Although daily penalties have not been imposed, AOGCC notes
the violations occurred after the imposition of a $110,000 penalty for the same conduct in 2016
and is imposing a $20,000 civil penalty for each of the 19 wells with the overdue MITs, in addition
to a $10,000 civil penalty for each of the six wells failing the required MIT. No additional
mitigations to the penalty are being applied.
Now Therefore It Is Ordered That:
Eni is assessed a civil penalty in the amount of $440,000 for violating Area Injection Order 36, for
missed mechanical integrity tests on 19 NU injection wells, and for failing the required MITs on
six wells. If Eni chooses not to appeal this Order, the fine must be paid within 30 days of issuance.
If appealed, the fine will be held in abeyance until the appeal process is complete.
In addition to the civil penalty, Eni is required to improve its tracking system for regulatory
obligations by implementing the corrective actions to the identified causal factors as detailed in
the Eni investigation report "2021 Spy Island and Nikaitchuq Overdue Four -Year Mechanical
Integrity Tests."
4 AS 31.05.150(a) provides for not more than $100,000 for the initial violation and not more than $ 10,000 for each
day thereafter on which the violation continues.
5 0106-05 (PTD 2101650); 0113-03 (PTD 2111000); 0115-S4 (PTD 2111410); and 0120-07 (PTD 2111400)
6 S126-NW2 (PTD 2141570) and S129-S2 (PTD 2120060)
7 AS 31.05.150(g) requires AOGCC to consider nine criteria in setting the amount of a civil penalty.

As an operator involved in an enforcement action, Eni is required to preserve documents
concerning the above action until after resolution of the proceeding.

As provided in AS 31.05.030(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
I0days 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 ran is not included in the period;
the last day of the period is included, unless it falls on a weekend or slate 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.

2nOverdue Four Year Mechanical Integrity Tests
2. Introduction
On December 30, 2020, the deadline for completion of mechanical integrity tests (MIT) for 19
injector wells, on OPP and SID had been reached without completion. MITs of wells are governed
by the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (AOGCC) and in this particular instance, Eni
failed to complete the four year MIT for these nineteen injector wells prior to the due date. The
investigation team, which consisted of Production, Compliance, Environmental, and Safety
Personnel, identified several system failures and software deficiencies that led to this event. The
team members were selected due to their knowledge of the systems used for tracking MIT due
dates, familiarity of the processes used, and perspectives on how to improve identified gaps to
prevent reoccurrence. All persons interviewed and all persons requested to deliver information and
documentation were fully cooperative and helped tremendously in the findings from this
investigation.
In compliance with Annex S-B to Eni HSE Management System Guidelines, an investigation team
was appointed in order to establish the sequence of events, the causal factor, as well as possible
corrective and improvement actions and recommendations.
The investigation took place via Microsoft teams meeting platform between the North Slope and the
Anchorage office between May 24, 2020 and June 2, 2020.
3. Context Analysis (Background)
The following information was determined by the investigation team to not be the causal factors
that led to this event, but relevant background information to provide an overview of how the event
occurred. The casual factors and corrective action will be captured later in this report in Section 5.
• 2011 Production Engineer would notify Production Operators/Supervisor about wells
that needed MIT and when.
• 2014, the original hitch lists in SAP were created for maintenance and operations PMs
only, not for MITs.
• The Maintenance Supervisors would facilitate the items that went into SAP but each
department managed the content of the task list.
• 10/2016 - During the creation of the MIT procedure, the operator found the MIT 4
year rule in AOGCC.
• This procedure did capture the AOGCC 4 year requirement for MIT.
• Due dates for the overdue MITs range from 4/26/2016 - 9/11/2016
I= Investigation Report
Case INDACO N.
enl i Overdue Four Year Mechanical Integrity Tests
• An informal hearing with AOGCC was held to cover these missed MITs March 2017
• 11/2016 — MIT PM's are added to the SAP hitch list
• Clear division of responsibilities between groups has been discussed and
documented.
• Production Operations was tasked with maintaining compliance of MIT's.
• A North Slope based position was to be created to manage AOGCC compliance.
A complete review of AOGCC processes and procedures was completed to ensure
that all compliance standards would be adhered to.
• 12/2016 - In the email from the SID Lead Operator to the Production Supervisor, the
Lead Operator listed out all the wells, and their new 4 year MIT due date of 12/6/2020
and 12/10/2020.
• 12/2016 Email from the Production Supervisor to the SAP Coordinator stated Eni had
previously gone over the state regulated 4 year MIT mandate.
The Production Supervisor requested that the hitch list with the MITs being due come
out 2-3 weeks ahead due to needing to get the State Rep on site to witness the test.
• SAP is not a compliance tracking system, but it was being used as such.
• Proposed title of task from the SAP Coordinator to the Production Supervisor:
"Disposal Practices and Applicable Regulations"
• The SAP Coordinator referenced the disposal well regulations mistakenly in his
proposed draft to the Production Supervisor for entering this 4 year MIT into SAP.
• The description of the MIT test that was entered into SAP was the MIT procedure
and aligned per regulatory requirements.
• 5/2017 — In the job description developed for the new Compliance Coordinator
position it was listed that monitoring of AOGCC and DOT regulatory was to be their
responsibility.
• SAP was being used to generate the notification for MITs that need be completed.
SAP hitch list would go straight to the Lead Operators.
3/2018 - The Compliance Coordinators manage various aspects of compliance with
DOT and PSM requirements.
• Compliance Coordinators had not received training on well integrity or AOGCC
regulations.
• No MOC was created for the organizational change of adding the Compliance
Coordinator position, or job description for position.
• 2020 TruApp was rolled out and time was needed for training and implementation of
the TruApp program. However, some continued to use the hitch list from SAP
In transition from SAP to TruApp not 100% of items got transferred into TruApp

• Unlike SAP, in TruApp items on the hitch list that are not completed will automatically
roll over to the next hitch list until they are completed.
• 11/2020 - 13 well MITs on SID were due to be completed by December 2020.
• This SAP hitch list for the 4 year MITs was released on Nov 1, 2020 allowing for 8
weeks to complete.
• SAP hitch list comes out on the 1st of the month and 16th of the month, but users
typically only look at the hitch list for the time they are on shift.
• The Hitch List title for the task was not detailed and the step-up SID Lead Operator
did not review the detailed description. Title: MIT Testing of SID Inj Well 4 year"
• Step-up SID Lead Operator addressed the Hitch list item and commented that the
"SD37 DSP01 well is down".
• The SID MIT hitch list items did get carried over by the SAP Coordinator for the next
two hitches.
• 11/2020 — Olitok Production Pad (OPP) hitch list came out however, the hitch list
item was missed by OPP step up Production Lead Operators. The language on the
hitch list title stated injection well and it was interpreted as waste injection well and
not an injector well. No MIT testing was performed.
• The criteria used for selection of step up lead operators is a minimum of 3.5 years as
an onsite operator, A operator status, and observed leadership capabilities.
• SAP Coordinator was hospitalized for personal medical reasons.
• There was a fill in for the SAP coordinator when they were in the hospital.
• The SAP Coordinator would, as standard practice, call the Maintenance Supervisors
at the 14th and 30th of the month to let them know that hitch list items were not
completed.
Then the Maintenance Supervisors would call the appropriate work group to see what
the responsible party wanted to do with hitch list items that were not completed
• The SAP hitch list for the OPP MIT items that did not get completed, did not get
manually carried over to the next hitch.
• 12/30/2020 — The deadline date for completing the MITs per AOGCC was missed and
no one was aware.
• 19 of the injection wells had an MIT due date December 2020
• Not having recollection of submitting the MITs to the State, the Production Engineer
reaches out to the Production Supervisor and Superintendent.
• Out of the total number of MITs overdue, all but six passed. Two of those six (01 13
& OI 20) have been patched and received a passing test. Four are c needing repair
and retest.

• Tubing failure could have been detected with a more robust rate of change alarm
within the DCS, much like 03 has.
• Without a rate of change alarm, the operating conditions of the well, before and after
the T x IA communication were well within operating boundaries.
4. Description of Events
In 2011, the Production Engineer was responsible for ensuring that all required MITs were
completed on time and reporting back to AOGCC on this matter. Sometime between 2012 and 2013,
the person working as the Production Engineer moved to a different position in the organization and
the Production Engineer vacancy was filled. Because neither of these individuals work for Eni any
longer, the investigation team was unable to ascertain if this responsibility for the MITs was
transferred. And it is the team's assumption that it was not. Then in January of 2014 the creation
of the SAP hitch list occurred, but this was only for the maintenance and operations preventative
maintenance tasks, not the MITs. In October of 2016 a Production Operator who was reviewing
and editing operational procedures began creating the NIK MIT procedure. During their research
for this activity, they discovered that eleven injector wells were past due for their 4 year MIT.
Operations immediately began the process to complete the MITS and ensure compliance. All of the
injector wells were tested by December of 2016. Also in December of 2016, after this discovery,
the SID Lead Operator emailed the Production Supervisor a list of all the wells that needed MITs
and when their new due date would be for 2020. The Production Supervisor relayed this information
to the SAP Coordinator to have them added into the SAP hitch list. In January of 2017 the SAP
Coordinator responded to the Production Supervisor with a proposed draft of the entry to go into
SAP for the MITs.
Because these wells were overdue, AOGCC required eni to investigate the causes and develop
corrective actions. March of 2017, eni had an informal hearing with AOGCC to share the findings
and corrective action stemming from this event. From this 2016-2017 investigation, AOGCC was
told that a Compliance Coordinator position would be created. Then in May of 2017 a draft job
description was developed for this position. In March of 2018 the Compliance Coordinator position
was filled. One month later, the Anchorage Production Management Leadership had a change in
personnel, but the vacancy was not filled for two months. In the meantime, because operations felt
they had a good system of tracking these MITs, the responsibility for tracking compliance of the
MITs was not given to the Compliance Coordinator position.
In October of 2019, the MIT procedure that was developed for OPP was customized for use at
SID. In the fall of 2020 TruApp was rolled out to the slope to be used in leiu of the hitchlist.
However, time was needed for training and implementation of this new program.
November 1, 2020, the SAP hitch list that was still being used by the OPP and SID Operations
Leads showed a title for the MIT testing of "MIT Testing of SID INJ Well 4 Year". On SID, this

statement was misunderstood, and the step up Lead Operator took it to mean testing of the waste
injection well was needed. However, the waste injection well was down at that time, and the step
up Lead Operator did not conduct the required MITs for 13 wells on SID. At OPP the step up Lead
Operator missed this item on the hitch list, and no MITs were conducted for OPP.
The deadline of December 30, 2020 for these MITs elapsed unbeknownst to anyone until March
of 2021. The overdue MITs were discovered by the Production Engineer while updating the Annual
Surveillance Report. Not having recollection of submitting the MITs to the AOGCC, the Production
Engineer reached out to the Production Supervisor and Superintendent to make them aware. In
April and early May of 2021 the MITs on the water injection wells were completed and reported to
AOGCC.

6. Final results/outcomes of the Investigation
There were multiple contributing factors that resulted in the overdue four year mechanical integrity
tests.
The Compliance Coordinators were not given the responsibilities for AOGCC compliance because
there was a system in place for managing AOGCC compliance.
There was no formal procedure for entering action items to the SAP hitch list, identifying
responsible position to verify accuracy of entries, verifying action items were completed, and
establishing timelines for each step.
The SAP Hitch list (used for tracking MITs) entry was not clear. Incomplete SAP hitch list items
that are not completed need to be manually carried over to next hitch lists. Hitch list are no longer
used because of the use of TruApp.
There was limited training for Operators on some aspects of the Area Injection Order for NIK. Two
normal Lead Operators at OPP were on vacation on October 28th and did not return to site until
December. Their normal hitch would have placed them back on site on Nov 4. The Step -Up Lead
Operator on duty did not see the hitch list item.
There was no vehicle being used to notify the Production Engineer of the MIT due dates.
Essentially, this task was not clearly owned by any party and was not communicated adequately to
the Operators; this resulted in it being overlooked. In order to correct this we will:
• Verify the entry of all MITs 4 year testing requirements into TruApp and Avocet to ensure
they are assigned to the right position, the title is sufficiently descriptive, and that
notifications are made to the appropriate parties for the proper dates.
• Develop a procedure with an embedded RACI chart that identifies the positions responsible
for tracking and execution of MITs, the position responsible for making AOGCC
notifications, the parties to be notified about upcoming due dates, the lead times for
notifications, and all associated responsibilities related to MITs.
• Document through signature on the procedure and RACI chart that all parties with any
required participation have been informed of their roles and responsibilities in the 4 year
MITs.
• Ensure the Compliance Coordinator is tasked with the specific responsibilities of confirming
MITs are completed by mandatory deadlines; capture this in the developed procedure and
RACI chart.
• Update the Compliance Coordinator's job description to include responsibility for ensuring
compliance with MIT completion obligations.
Investigation Report
211 11 II Overdue Four Year Mechanical Integrity Tests
Case INDACO N.
• Do an MOC to document these roles and responsibilities and obtain acknowledgment that
the Compliance Coordinator has received them.
• Ensure the Production Supervisors, that when step ups are in lead roles, the Production
Supervisors will review the TruApp list of the Step -Up Leads once per week.
7. Lesson Learned and Safety Golden Rule
No Golden Rule is associated with this investigation
S. Continuous Improvement
With the implementation of the Compliance Coordinator as oversight for the timely completion of
the 4 year MITs, the use of the TruApp and Avocet to make redundant notification of due date, this
should lend to continuous improvement of maintaining compliance with AOGCC requirements.

Subject: Re: Notice of Proposed Enforcement Action
Failure to completed required Mechanical Integrity Tests (MITs)
Nikaitchuq Unit, 19 wells
Dear Mr. Price:
Eni has received the Notice of Proposed Enforcement Action dated May 25, 2021 and
acknowledges the violation of provisions of Rule 6 of Area Injection Order 36 (AIO 36)
("Demonstration of Tubing/Casing Annulus Mechanical Integrity") for 19 Nikaitchuq Unit
wells. Once the violation was discovered by Eni, the AOGCC was immediately notified
and all but 6 of the wells passed a state witnessed MIT. All 6 of the wells that failed the
MIT have since been shut in except for diagnostic purposes. One of the 6 wells that
failed the MIT (0I-20) has been repaired, passed a state witnessed MIT, and has been
returned to service.
Workovers are planned to repair the remaining 5 wells, with at least two temporary
waiver applications being prepared to temporarily operate 0I-15 and 0I-34.
Upon discovery of the violation, Eni started an extensive internal investigation to
determine the root cause of the failure and to develop and implement corrective actions.
Included in this response is a flow chart of events that was developed during the
investigation. This flow chart explains the events leading up to the recent testing failure.
In addition, it clearly demonstrates that Eni did not willfully or knowingly violate the
provisions of AIO 36, and indeed disclosed the failure immediately upon learning of it.
Eni has identified the root causes of the procedural and system failures and has begun
implementing corrective actions to avoid future failures within our Alaska operations.
Those actions include, but are not necessarily limited to:
ernni us ®perraNi nng
2ni
• Verify entry of all 4-year MIT testing requirements into TruApp CMMS
(Computerized Maintenance Management System) and Avocet Production
Operations software and ensure the titles are sufficiently descriptive, they are
assigned to the right position, and that notifications are made to the appropriate
parties for the proper dates.
• Develop a procedure with an embedded RACI (Responsible, Accountable,
Consulted, Informed) chart that identifies the positions responsible for tracking
and execution of MITs, the position responsible for making AOGCC notifications,
the parties to be notified about upcoming due dates, the lead times for
notifications, and all associated responsibilities related to MITs.
• Document through signature on the procedure and RACI chart that all parties with
any required participation have been informed of their roles and responsibilities
with the 4-year MITs.
• Ensure the Compliance Coordinator is tasked with the specific responsibilities of
confirming MITs are completed by mandatory deadlines, and capture this in the
procedures and RACI chart.
• Complete a Management of Change (MOC) to document these roles and
responsibilities and obtain acknowledgment that the Compliance Coordinator has
received them.
• The Production Supervisors will review all open TruApp work activities weekly
whenever there is a Step -Up in the Lead Operator position.
• Incorporate these actions not only at Nikaitchuq, but at the Oooguruk Unit as well,
to ensure no similar failures occur at any other Eni Alaska asset.
Eni prides itself and its people in being transparent and working diligently to comply with
all regulations, permit stipulations and conditions required to operate within Alaska, and
throughout the world. We do this not simply to "check the box", but rather because it is
the right thing to do.
Eni respectfully requests the AOGCC consider a lesser civil penalty based on the fact Eni
did not willfully or negligently violate the conditions of AID 36, and immediately reported
the violation to the AOGCC as soon as it was discovered.
For the purpose of clarifying a point in the AOGCC's enforcement letter, Eni successfully
contested one of the previously mentioned NOV's regarding Sundry notification to AOGCC
for well work on SD37. The contested NOV was removed and the civil penalty reduced to
$10,000. Eni requests this current Notice of Enforcement reflect this minor correction.
eni us operrafing
In closing, Eni requests an audience with the AOGCC staff to personally explain the
results of our internal investigation, answer any questions, provide clarification to the
historical flowchart leading to the failure, and explain the corrective actions we are
implementing.
Should you have any additional questions or require any additional information, please
contact me at my office 907-865-3330, or my cell at 907-351-5615. Thank you.

Re: Notice of Proposed Enforcement Action
Failure to complete required Mechanical Integrity Tests (MITs)
Nikaitchuq Unit, 19 wells
Area Injection Order 36
Nikaitchuq Unit (NU), Nikaitchuq Field, Schrader Bluff Oil Pool
Docket Number: OTH-21-017
Dear Mr. Lopez:
The Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (AOGCC) hereby notifies Eni US Operating
Company, Inc. (Eni) of a proposed enforcement action.
Nature of the Apparent Violation or Noncompliance (20 AAC 25.535(b)(1))
Eni violated the provisions of Rule 6 of Area Injection Order 36 (AIO 36) ("Demonstration of
Tubing/Casing Annulus Mechanical Integrity") for 19 NU wells.
Basis for Finding the Violation or Noncompliance (20 AAC 25.535(b)(2))
AIO 36 was approved January 19, 2011. The order authorizes the underground injection of fluids
for enhanced oil recovery in the Nikaitchuq Schrader Bluff Oil Pool. The rules require MITs on
NU injection wells:
- Before injection begins;
- Before returning a well to service following any workover affecting mechanical
integrity;
- After injection is commenced for the first time in a well, for witness by AOGCC; and
- At least once every four years following the initial MIT.
AOGCC Industry Guidance Bulletin 10-02A dated August 16, 2013, allowed for efficiencies in
testing and witnessing by allowing an MIT to be performed anytime during the anniversary month
to satisfy the MIT due date.
On March 17, 2021, Eni contacted AOGCC by email to report that 19 wells were injecting after
Eni had failed to perform the required four-year MITs that were due December 2020.
Rule 6 of AIO 36 states "The mechanical integrity of each injection well must be demonstrated
before injection begins and before returning a well to service following any workover affecting
mechanical integrity. A Commission -witnessed MIT must be performed after injection is
commenced for the first time in a well, to be scheduled when injection conditions (temperature,
pressure, rate, etc.) have stabilized. Subsequent tests must be performed at least once every four
years thereafter (except at least once every two years in the case of a slurry injection well). "
The last AOGCC-witnessed MITs occurred December 2016. Therefore, MITs were required on
or before December 2020. Though out of compliance, the 19 wells continued to inject.
Em's failure to demonstrate the mechanical integrity of the 19 injection wells within the required
four-year cycle violated both AOGCC's regulations and AIO 36.
Proposed Action (20 AAC 25 535(b)(3)
The MIT violations at Nikaitchuq are not isolated and demonstrate Em's ongoing compliance
problems, including:
Failure to test 11 injection wells for tubing/casing annulus MIT at Nikaitchuq Unit
resulted in a penalty of $110,000 to Eni on July 26, 2017. ' Since that time, two other
enforcement actions have been issued;
- Failure to submit blow out prevention equipment (BOPE) test reports at Nordic Rig 4
of November 8 and November 15, 2018, resulting in a Notice of Violation (NOV)
issued by AOGCC on December 6, 20182; and
Failure to obtain AOGCC approval prior to performing well work and failure to
complete a required sundry report of well work within the required time for Nikaitchuq
well SD37-DSPI; $20,000.1 .
The failure to conduct MITs on the 19 NU wells occurred after AOGCC fined Eni $110,000 for
its failure to conduct MITs on 11 NU wells in 2016. Those tests were eventually witnessed in
December 2016 which set the next testing due date of December 2020. The failure to test in
December 2020 is the subject of this enforcement action.
' Other Order 124, Issued July 26, 2017, Docket OTH-17-001
2 Docket OTH-18-059
3 Other Order 171 issued September 20, 2020 (AOGCC Docket OTH-20-043)
Other Order 124 states, "In addition to the civil penalty, Eni is required to develop and implement
a tracking system for regulatory obligations, including an automated alert for approaching and
past -due obligations, with notifications provided to Eni personnel responsible for the regulatory
obligation."
For these violations, the AOGCC intends to impose civil penalties on Eni as follows.'
- $380,000 ($20,000 for each of the initial violations of 19 wells for failure to perform
the required MITs of the 19 injection wells in compliance with testing protocols
specified in Rule 6 of AIO 36);
- $60,000 ($10,000 for each of the four wells that failed the overdue MIT witnessed on
March 21, 2021' and the two wells that exhibited tubing by inner annulus (TxIA)
pressure communication and subsequently failed their MIT).6
In addition to the imposed civil penalty, AOGCC intends to require Eni to provide a detailed
written explanation as to how it intends to prevent recurrence of this violation. AOGCC also
intends to require Eni to demonstrate to AOGCC's satisfaction a more robust regulatory
compliance tracking system that addresses all AOGCC-mandated obligations.
The total proposed civil penalty is $440,000. Violations relating to Underground Injection
Control Class II well integrity practices warrant the imposition of civil penalties. Eni's repeated
failure to comply with fundamental wellbore MIT requirements raises the potential for similar
behavior with more serious consequences. Mitigating circumstances were considered in the
assessment of the proposed civil penalty including the operator's practices, the existing aquifer
exemptions of the NU, and Eni's notification to AOGCC once Eni determined the wells were out
of compliance.
Rights and Liabilities (20 AAC 25.535(b)(4))
Within 15 days after receipt of this notification — unless the AOGCC, in its discretion, grants an
extension for good cause shown — Eni may file with the AOGCC a written response that concurs
in whole or in part with the proposed action described herein, requests informal review, or requests
a hearing under 20 AAC 25.540. If a timely response is not filed, the proposed action will be
deemed accepted by default. If informal review is requested, the AOGCC will provide Eni an
opportunity to submit documentary material and make a written or oral statement. If Eni disagrees
with the AOGCC's proposed decision or order after that review, it may file a written request for a
hearing within 10 days after the proposed decision or order is issued. If such a request is not filed
within that 10-day period, the proposed decision or order will become final on the 11 w day after it
was issued. If such a request is timely filed, the AOGCC will hold its decision in abeyance and
schedule a hearing.
4 AS 31.05.150(a) provides for not more than $100,000 for the initial violation and not more than $10,000 for each
day thereafter on which the violation continues.
5 0106-05 (PTD 2101650); 0113-03 (PTD 2111000); 0115-S4 (PTD 2111410); and 0120-07 (PTD 2111400)
6 S126-NW2 (PTD 2141570) and 5I29-S2 (PTD 2120060)
If Eni does not concur in the proposed action described herein, and the AOGCC finds that Eni has
violated or failed to comply with a provision of AS 31.05, 20 AAC 25, or an AOGCC order, permit
or other approval, then the AOGCC may take any action authorized by the applicable law including
ordering one or more of the following:
(i) corrective action or remedial work;
(ii) suspension or revocation of a permit or other approval;
(iii) payment under the bond required by 20 AAC 25.025; and
(iv) imposition of penalties under AS 31.05.150.
In taking action after an informal review or hearing, the AOGCC is not limited to ordering the
proposed action described herein, as long as Eni received reasonable notice and opportunity to be
heard with respect to the AOGCC's action. Any action described herein or taken after an informal
review or hearing does not limit the action the AOGCC may take under AS 31.05.160.

Keith,
For the wells with witnessed MITs in March and April 2021, they will need to be tested on or before the March and April
2025.
The witnessed MIT resets the clock.
A late MIT without prior AOGCC agreement would be subject to an enforcement action which would nullify any
perceived operator benefit gained by the extension of the MIT test timeline.
Thanks and Regards,

Subject: RE: ENI Injector 4-year MIT's
Mr. Wallace,
Looking at the next MIT's due on the Nikaitchuq injectors I had a question about the due date. Since the 4 year MIT's
were due in Dec 2020 but did not get conducted until March and April 2021, are the next due dates still in December
2024? 1 was assuming conducting them late would not restart the 4 year clock to the month they were actually
completed but wanted to check with the AOGCC. Thank you for any clarity.

Subject: ENI Injector 4-year MIT's
Mr. Wallace,
Today (3/17/21) ENI discovered that 19 Nikaitchuq injection wells were due for their 4-year MIT-IA's in December
2020. These MIT's were not performed and are out of compliance. We are working to secure the resources to complete
these pressure tests and get back in compliance as soon as possible. I will communicate the estimated timing when we
have it.
We will also conduct an investigation as to how these were able to lapse including changes to our compliance system
that can better insure this doesn't happen again. These improvement will be shared with the AOGCC.

the well deviation will allow us to get with slickline. ENI is now working to mobilize eline with tractor to continue the

Mr. Regg,
ENI has mobilized a slickline unit to begin diagnostics on these 4 injectors that failed their 4-year MIT's starting as soon
as tomorrow (3/24/21). 1 do not believe this work will require a Form 10-403 submission that the AIO states should be
submitted. Please advise if I am incorrect. We will keep the AOGCC updated on our progress. Please let me know if the
AOGCC has any questions or concerns. Thank you.
Area Injection Order 36
January 19, 2011
Page 15 of 16
Rule 7 Well Integrity and Confinement
Whenever any pressure communication, leakage or lack of injection zone isolation is indicated
by an injection rate, operating pressure observation, test, survey, log, or any other evidence
(including OA pressure monitoring of all wells within a '/o-mile radius of where the Nikaitchuq is
not cemented), the Operator shall notify the Commission by the next business day and submit a
plan of corrective action on a Form 10-403 for Commission approval. The Operator shall
immediately shut in the well if continued operation would be unsafe or would threaten
contamination of freshwater, or if so directed by the Commission. A monthly report of daily
tubing and casing annuli pressures and injection rates must be provided to the Commission for
all injection wells indicating well integrity failure or lack of injection zone isolation.

Mr. Wallace,
In late March we had a COVID 19 outbreak at SID. Through the inspector, we postponed the witnessed MIT's on the
island until the COVID issues were contained (I believe Mr. Regg approved). I will check with our safety team if we have
a clean bill of health on the island and can now safely schedule the remaining MIT's.

Are there any more MIT's or what is the reason I don't have all 19 wells tested and results?

Mr. Wallace,
ENI has conducted the initial diagnostics on the 4 OPP injectors and has determined that the leak point is deeper than
the well deviation will allow us to get with slickline. ENI is now working to mobilize eline with tractor to continue the
diagnostics. The wells will remain shut in until further diagnostics are performed.

Mr. Regg,
ENI has mobilized a slickline unit to begin diagnostics on these 4 injectors that failed their 4-year MIT's starting as soon
as tomorrow (3/24/21). 1 do not believe this work will require a Form 10-403 submission that the AIO states should be
submitted. Please advise if I am incorrect. We will keep the AOGCC updated on our progress. Please let me know if the
AOGCC has any questions or concerns. Thank you.
Area Injection Order 36
January 19, 2011
Page 15 of 16
Rule 7 Well Integrity and Confinement
Whenever any pressure communication, leakage or lack of injection zone isolation is indicated
by an injection rate, operating pressure observation, test, survey, log, or any other evidence
(including OA pressure monitoring of all wells within a '/<-mile radius of where the Nikaitchuq is
not cemented), the Operator shall notify the Commission by the next business day and submit a
plan of corrective action on a Form 10-403 for Commission approval. The Operator shall
immediately shut in the well if continued operation would be unsafe or would threaten
contamination of freshwater, or if so directed by the Commission. A monthly report of daily
tubing and casing annuli pressures and injection rates must be provided to the Commission for
all injection wells indicating well integrity failure or lack of injection zone isolation.

Subject: ENI Injector 4-year MIT's
Mr. Wallace,
Today (3/17/21) ENI discovered that 19 Nikaitchuq injection wells were due for their 4-year MIT-IA's in December
2020. These MIT's were not performed and are out of compliance. We are working to secure the resources to complete
these pressure tests and get back in compliance as soon as possible. I will communicate the estimated timing when we
have it.
We will also conduct an investigation as to how these were able to lapse including changes to our compliance system
that can better insure this doesn't happen again. These improvement will be shared with the AOGCC.

SI-29 (PTD# 212-006)
Mr. Wallace,
ENI noticed the TAA pressures tracking on SI-29 and became concerned about a potential pressure
communication. Today (4/10/21) we attempted to pressure test the IA but the annulus would not hold pressure. The
injector is shut in and will remain so until further diagnostics can be conducted. Please let me know of any questions or
concerns. Thank you.

SI-26 (PTD# 214-157)
Mr. Regg,
After conducting a thorough review of all injection wells at Nikaitchuq, we believe that SI-26 may have tubing by IA
pressure communication. We immediately shut in the well today (3/25/21) and attempted to pressure test the annulus,
which did not pass. The well is shut in and will remain so until we can conduct further diagnostics. Please let me know
of any questions or concerns.

Subject: ENI Injector 4-year MIT's
Mr. Wallace,
Today (3/17/21) ENI discovered that 19 Nikaitchuq injection wells were due for their 4-year MIT-IA's in December
2020. These MIT's were not performed and are out of compliance. We are working to secure the resources to complete
these pressure tests and get back in compliance as soon as possible. I will communicate the estimated timing when we
have it.
We will also conduct an investigation as to how these were able to lapse including changes to our compliance system
that can better insure this doesn't happen again. These improvement will be shared with the AOGCC.

Tim Brown/Brandy Vaala,
As per our conversation on the phone earlier today, please resubmit when you know you are ready to test on shore
(OPP). As a reminder please reference Guidance Bulletin 10-02B Mechanical Integrity Testing from the AOGCC website
to help you prepare. As for testing on SID, an AOGCC inspector will not come and witness until the COVID19 outbreak
you have had in the last week has got under control and your crew is COVID19 free. In addition, since there will be a
delay in testing that may last a while due to the virus, there will be no action taken from the State of Alaska towards ENI
for this portion of the delay in testing that is related to COVID19. This however, has no bearing on any action that may
come from the late testing of these wells, that were due to be tested in December of 2020, that is not related to the
virus.
If you have any questions please feel free to contact me at the number below.
Thank you,
Guy Cook
