Hilcorp Submits Application For Milne Point Operations In Alaska
Drilling Activity Details
Drilling Activity Summary
Description
Hilcorp Energy Co. had submitted an application to the Alaska Department of Natural Resources’ Division of Oil and Gas for the construction and operation of a new pad and road in the Milne Point Unit (MPU). Hilcorp plans to expand oil resource development within the MPU Schrader Bluff reservoir by constructing a new 17.2-acre pad and corresponding access road with a pipeline and infrastructure for oil production. IHS Markit reported that the proposed Moose Pad will provide Hilcorp access to approximately seven square miles of undeveloped oil reserves within the MPU. Initial development plans for Moose Pad will include up to 44 new wells to be developed using directional drilling technology. The new wells will include both oil production wells and enhanced oil recovery injection wells. The Schrader Bluff reservoir on the North Slope is estimated to contain 10-20 Bbl of oil reserves. The approximate location for the proposed Moose Pad will be within sections 13 and 14 of township 13n-9e, Umiat Meridian, and is within three state leases—ADLs 025514, 025515, 025509. The MPU is currently operated by Houston-based Hilcorp, with ownership is divided between Hilcorp (50%) and BP (50%).
