We propose that we participate in this project and serve as con- sulting engineers in the preliminary planning,the drilling and completion phase.We also propose that we conduct a far-reaching well testing/reservoir engineering analysis following the drilling phase. OBJECTIVES The Department of Petroleum Engineering,School of Mineral Industry, University of Alaska,Fairbanks is proposing a contractual agreement to perform work on the Unalaska geothermal drilling project.The proposed UAF principal investigator (P.I.}),Prof.Michael J.Economides,has had a wide exposure on the drilling,completion and testing of geothermal wells. He is already familiar with the constraints of the Unalaska project be- cause of his cooperation with the personnel at the Division of Geological and Geophysical Surveys of the State of Alaska and because of his on-site visit during the Summer of 1981. WORK PLAN The Unalaska drilling project may be divided into three phases.The Department of Petroleum Engineering is proposing an association with all three. Phase I:Preliminary Work Outline and Review of Contractor and Subcontractor Proposals. It is recommended that the project manager convenes a group (including the UAF P.I.)to establish a discernible plan of action for the project. A call for appropriate bids should result from the plan outline.Topographic and geophysical studies are anticipated.Drilling,well logging,well completion and well testing/reservoir engineering work should be expected. Since geothermal drilling,high temperature logging and steam or two- phase well testing have presented marked idiosyncrasies in the past,great care should be exercised in the choice of contractors. The logistics of the Unalaska project will undoubtedly prove costly. Hence,intense bargaining negotiations are needed with the potential drillers. Finally,a drilling plan taking into account in-house geological and tectonic structure information,must be drawn out and submitted to the driller. Geothermal drilling varies from oil and gas or artesian water drilling not only in the mechanics (compressed air instead of mud,different drilling bits),but also in the delineation of the wells (since geothermal reservoirs are found in highly fractured formations).Great risks due to unqualified contractors can be easily envisioned.This is why it is imperative that the Project Manager draws heavily on the obtained geological knowledge. The UAF P.I.could be particularly useful in formulating a drilling plan in cooperation and supervision of the successful driller. Phase II:Drilling and Well Completion. The actual drilling operation must be closely supervised by the pro- ject manager or through her proxies.Continuous exchange of information between the driller and the "company"engineer must be established before the drilling begins.The construction of the drilling pads,direction of drilling and the appropriate wellhead configuration must be outlined ahead. During the actual drilling operations,serious and urgent decisions should be anticipated and taken.Action on thieve zones,unwanted fluids from higher zones and the ultimate decision to complete or abandon must rest with the ''company"engineer. Drill stem testing and well logging must follow immediately after the drilling operation.The gathering of the proper data at the proper inter- vals must be directed by the future analyzer.All too often,useless and incomplete data have been collected because the engineer was not consulted. Phase III:Well Testing and Reservoir Engineering. Pressure transient analysis (well testing)is the most powerful tool available to a reservoir engineer for studying well productivity.Four major verdicts may be handed down for each well: 1.Determination of the extent of well damage or stimulation (skin). 2.Estimation of the value and direction of effective permeability. 3.Determination of the mean reservoir pressure. 4 An intelligent guess on the drainage volume and reserves. All of these variables are of great importance in the evaluation of the reservoir.Their values will decide whether future drilling should take place or whether the reservoir must be abandoned.The phase and extent -4- of the reservoir fluid will have a profound effect on the economics and the type of the power plant or the direct utilization system. Again,the UAF P.I.is particularly qualified to perform the work. He has analyzed a large number of geothermal wells,spanning several locations and fluid types.He is the principal author of "Geothermal Steam Well Testing:State of the Art,''published by the Society of Petroleum Engineers.

Even if Federal permitting delays cause an overall delay in your Unalaska hydrothermal drilling project,some aspects of this proposal such as the seismic monitoring and the petrographic,geochemical,and structural investigations should still be conducted this coming season.If necessary, such investigations would be conducted by means of our own federal permits. The more we know before exploratory drilling is undertaken,the better off we will all be. The Reimbursable Services Agreement with DGGS with respect to your Makuskin hydrothermal drilling project should be completed as soon as possible since field preparations require a long lead time.

General Details The following describes the details of the type of investigations and analyses DGGS plans to undertake on Makushin Volcano and the associated geothermal areas. Geochemical Investigations of Geothermal Fluids We propose to sample and perform detailed analyses of waters,gases,sinter deposits,and hydrothermal alteration products associated with each of the known thermal fields located on or near Makushin Volcano,including the summit fumarolic vents.We also propose to analyze suitable samples of waters and gases obtained from the exploratory wells to be drilled in the next two years. The data acquired under this study will be used to help determine the nature of the subsurface hydrothermal system and deep reservoir characteristics, reservoir temperatures,the source of volatiles in the system,the source of waters in the system,and geohydrological conditions.The data on thermal fluids is also important for providing pre-exploration baseline information on the geothermal resource. All major,minor and trace element geochemistry of waters and gases will be performed by DGGS in our in-house laboratory.Results of these analysis will provide the basis for estimating subsurface conditions and temperature. In addition certain isotopic analysis of waters and gases are very important -2- to this study but are beyond the present capabilities of the DGGS laboratory. Such analysis must be contracted or performed under a cooperative agreement 3 with another agency.

Gravity Investigations We propose to add gravity stations to our regional gravity data base for the northern part of Unalaska Island and to undertake with fairly tight elevation control several gravity profile surveys in the immediate Makushin Volcano region.These profile surveys should be undertaken after the completion of the detailed topographic map of the Makushin Volcano region by Republic Geothermal,Inc.The attached Makushin Volcano map shows the Hytentativelocationofsuchprofiles,figure l.Compare Ann The data acquired under this study will help determine the boundary between the unaltered volcanic rocks and the older metavolcanic and associated plutonic rocks.It might also give valuable insight into the regional structural make-up of the hydrothermal prospect area and of the Makushin Volcano.

A five-station array is proposed as shown in figure 2.This array should enable us to locate shallow (<10 km)microearthquakes (0.5<My <2.5)with exceptionally good depth control (<1 km).Such accurate hypocenter determinations are needed to locate fracture zones within a geothermal reservoir which possibly can serve a conduits for subsurface movements of geothermal fluids.We will provide epicenter maps and depth cross sections in addition to a listing of the location and magnitude of all recorded events.We will attempt to construct composite focal mechanisms for spatial clusters of earthquake activity.By comparing station P-wave delays of regional events or teleseisms with those observed within the Lamont Shumagin Network toward the east,we hope to be able to identify a possible chamber [igure Lo [ropes ed!8 -slalron SCSHnC:\ a RarerBG N Ary BS tayhaheyNy SR OPLY &(F iisLSROTAN CREE I EN 'Pos Ai7 N ?

A contract will be made directly to Lamont which will cover the cost to Lamont for their operation and maintenance of the network and some basic data analyses for one year.These cost will include station operator salaries,space rental in Dutch Harbor from the Native Cooperation,recording materials and shipping cost.The maintenance costs consists of salaries and travel costs for their electrical engineer and a field assistant.The materials and supplies are batteries (5 for each station)that power the remote stations for approximately one year and some spare parts needed because of,for example,weather related failures.The travel presumes that their electrical engineer will make one extra trip to Dutch Harbor during the winter to repair possible equipment failures.Egill Hankason who has conducted extensive geothermal and seismic investigations in Iceland,will conduct the Lamont duties with respect to this project in close cooperation with John Reeder and John Davies of DGGS.DGGS will supply all required logistical support to Lamont in addition to some of the required analyses of the collected data. fo8 The Lamont contract will terminate the first of October,1983.From just a ,it bears (o f1/C62 hazard point of view with respect to Makushin Volcano,it would be desirable to keep at least part of the network operating for the duration of the APA geothermal drilling project.DGGS will attempt to raise internal funds in order to keep at least the Makushin Valley seismic station operating for the duration of the APA geothermal drilling project. Petrographic,Geochemical,and Structural Investigations Petrographic,geochemical,and structural investigations on a regional basis have already been undertaken for the northern part of Unalaska Island. We propose to continue such investigations at greater detail in the Makushin Volcano region.Such work should greatly refine our knowledge of the geologic setting of any hydrothermal systems and such work should help determine the character of any shallow magma systems that might be the driving heat sources for such hydrothermal systems.The geologic history of volcanic activity will also be determined which would result in insight into what volcanic activity and volcanic hazards might be expected for this region. All whole-rock and minor-element determinations will be performed by DGGS in our geochemistry laboratory.All standard petrographic analysis will also be performed "in-house”.These analyses will give the overall chemical "make-up”of the rocks,the mineral-phase equilibrium conditions during the formation of the rocks,and some insight into any rock alterations.The petrographic analyses will help determine which rock samples can actually be dated by potassium-argon techniques. OD ws In addition certain geochemical analyses are important to this study such43Io\C %Neen88SrandPbIsotopeanalysesandKAR'age dating.Such laboratory analyseswaearebeyondthepresentlaboratorycapabilitiesofDGGS.The strontium and lead isotope determinations and analyses of volcanic rocks would help determine the source of the magma based on chemical contamination.Such analyses along with possibly some microprobe work would probably be contracted out to Lamont-Doherty Geol.Obs.The potassium-argon age dates of selected rocks would provide age control on magma evolution in the hydrothermal prospect region.Such determinations would probably be done through contract to the University of Utah. To better refine the more recent volcanic history of the Makuskin Volcano region,sections of two large Makushin Volcano post glacial pyroclastic flows and two ash-dominated post-glacial soil horizons will be examined. If carbon material is found of dating interest,carbon-14 radiometric age analyses would be undertaken through contract to a private geochemical laboratory. Products As work is undertaken and completed,preliminary results will be distributed to particular investigators on an informal basis.All preliminary data will be available for examination by APA and by any of APA's contractors. All DGGS data and results will be published at least as Alaska Open-File Reports.

I want to follow-up on the discussions regarding an RSA for continued studies by DGGS on the geothermal resources of Makushin Volcano.I have enclosed a preliminary work plan and budget for the studies we discussed would be performed by the Fairbanks office of DGGS.These studies are meant to be complimentary to work planned by John Reeder of our Anchorage office. The first part of the work plan addresses the continuation and expansion of our geochemical investigations of geothermal fluids in the area.This study was of considerable interest to Republic Geothermal and I would look forward to cooperating and working with their geochemists. The second part of the study concerns the investigation of the evolution of Makushin Volcano and what bearing a shallow magmatic system has on the geothermal resources of the area.This work would be performed in cooperation with Professor Sam_Swanson,an igneous petrologist at theUniversityofAlaska,Fairbanks.Professor Swanson is under a two month per year contract with DGGS to carry out the type of work described in the work plan.Note that some of the proposed contractural rock geo- chemistry and age-dating listed in the accompanying work plan and budget may be duplicated in John Reeder's work plan.Whatever overlap exists can be deleted from this budget as I am sure John would certainly share his data. As I indicated previously,principal investigator salaries for this study will be covered by DGGS.However,I am requesting funding for a student intern and half-time geologic assistant to help carry out the Patti DeJung -2-February 26, the field work and geochemical analysis.I am also presuming that a helicopter will be available to transport our field parties to various locations.If such will not be the case then the budget must be in- creased to cover two weeks helicopter time. Please review the work plan and let me know whether it is compatible with your program.I will then get together with John Reeder and Ross Schaff to iron out a combined final version.Do not hesitate to call if you have questions. Cheers, em At /oe Roman J.Motyka Geologist Enclosure 1982 Proposed Petrologic Study of Recent Volcanic Rocks from Makushin Volcano by Sam Swanson Geothermal anomalies,such as fumarole fields,on the flankes of Makushin Volcano are the surface manifestation of subsurface heating.Given the recently 'active eruptive activity of Makushin,it is reasonable to assume the subsurface heat source is a body of magma at a shallow depth under the volcano.The existence of a shallow magma body under Makushin Volcano would have important implications for modeling the geothermal activity and for subsequent development of the resource.In particular,the overall size and.dimensions of such a body of magma would be of great value in any attempt 'to model the thermalanomaly.=. Shallow level magma chambers are known to exist under volcanoes that are structurally and chemically similar to Makushin Volcano...Geophysical studies of local gravity and seismic anomalies around some of the Cascade volcanoes have predicted the existence of shallow level magma,.a prediction confirmed by recent drilling at Newberry Volcano.However,long before the geophysical studies,petrologists had been using shallow plutons (now exposedbyerosion)as models for magma chambers under the'Cascade volcanoes. Unalaska Island has three major plutons (now exposed)that may be used to model a magma chamber under Makushin Volcano.However,.the plutons are old (about 11 m.y.)compared to the Makushin volcanic rocks and it is not clear the magmas that formed the plutons are related to the volcanic magmas.Such a relation must be demonstrated before the plutons on Unalaska can be used tomodelasubsurfacemagmabodyunderMakushinVolcano. Detailed petrographic and geochemical studies (including isotopes of Sr,Rb and Pb)have been made on some of the plutons on Unalaska by Perfit (et al,1980).We propose a similar study of the recent volcanic rocks of Makushin.Currently only a few chemical analyses of these recent volcanics and a little petrographic data are available (Drewes et al.,1961).If our results suggest the recent Makushin volcanics and the plutons are similar, then these plutons may be used as a model for a shallow magma chamber.under Makushin Volcano.In any case the results will give valuable insight to the evolution of magmatic systems on Unalaska Island and by inference in theAleutianArc., References Drewes,H.,Fraser,G.F.,Snyder,G.L.,and Barnett,H.F.,Jr.,1961,Geology of Unalaska Island and Adjacent Insular Shelf;USGS Bull.,1028-S,94p.

INVESTIGATION OF GEOTHERMAL FLUIDS AND IGNEOUS ROCKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE MAKUSHIN VOLCANO GEOTHERMAL PROSPECT Work plan Submitted to Alaska Power Authority by Roman J.Motyka Division of Geological and Geophysical Surveys Work Plan There are two parts to the work that the Division of Geological and Geophysical Surveys (DGGS)-Fairbanks is proposing to do on the Makushin geothermal prospect.The first concerns the geochemistry of thermal fluids;the second concerns the geochemistry and petrology of volcanic rocks. Geochemistry of Thermal Fluids We propose to sample and perform detailed analyses of waters,gases,sinter deposits,and hydrothermal alteration products associated with each of the known thermal fields located on or near Makushin Volcano,including the summit fumarolic vents.We also propose to analyze suitable samples of waters and gases obtained from the exploratory wells to be drilled this summer.These studies will augment previous studies made by DGGS and will be performed in close cooperation with investigators from Republic Geothermal,the prime contractor for the geothermal drilling program at Makushin Volcano.The data acquired under this study will be used to help determine the nature of the subsurface hydrothermal system and deep reservoir characteristics;reservoir temperatures;the source of volatiles in the system;the source of waters in the system;and geohydrological conditions.The data on thermal fluids is also important for providing pre-exploration baseline information on the geothermal resource. Water and Gas Chemistry All major,minor and trace element geochemistry of waters and gases will be performed by DGGS in our in-house geothermal fluids laboratory.Results of these analysis will provide the basis for estimating subsurface conditions and temperatures. In addition certain isotopic analysis of waters and gases are very important to this study but are beyond the present capabilities of the DGGS geothermal fluids lab.Such analysis must be contracted or performed under a cooperative agreement with another agency.An outline of the required isotopic analyses and their costs is given below. Quer Cope (house om ok rene lewine v 3ye/4He:The ratio of helium isotopes in fumarolic gases and in gases from thermal springs provides a tag on the influence of magmatic systems on hydrothermal systems and provides information on the source region of system volatiles.3He/4He analyses will be performed in cooperation with the Scripps Institute of Oceanography at no direct cost to this study.

Products As they are completed,preliminary results of the geochemical and isotopic analysis will be distributed to participating investigators on an informal basis.A formal DGGS report containing the final results will be issued upon completion of all the analyses.The report will include an interpretation of the data and,based on the outcome of the analyses, suggestions on the sitting of the deep test well. Schedule Field work is planned to coincide with Republic Geothermal operations at Unalaska in late May and again during July.A total of three weeks field work is anticipated.The analyses,modelling,and report writing will take place during fall-winter 1982-83.The final report on thermal fluid geochemistry will be completed by May 30,1983. Geochemistry and Petrologic Studyof Makushin Volcano The purpose of this work is to decipher the magmatic history of Makushin Volcano and determine what implications this history has for understanding the present-day geothermal resources at Makushin.The geochemical analyses listed below provide the tools by which the evolution and characteristics of the shallow magma system can be inferred,the rate of magma re-injection estimated,and the history of recent volcanic activity and it's bearing on present-day volcanic hazards evaluated.A shallow magma system at Makushin is the probable primary heat source driving the hydrothermal systems that are of commercial interest. This work will be done mostly by and in collaboration with Professor Sam Swanson of the University of Alaska Geology/Geophysics program,Fairbanks. Professor Sam Swanson has a two-month per year contract with DGGS and has recently conducted similar studies on Akutan Volcano. Petrographic Analyses All standard petrographic analysis will be performed by Professor Swanson. Microprobe Analyses Microbe analyses,which provide information on the chemistry of individual mineral grains contained in the volcanic rocks,are required for estimating mineral phase equilibrium and thereby magma temperatures and depths.No microprobe is available in Alaska and an out-of-state probe,most likely at Scripps Institute of Oceanography will have to be used.Fifty hours X $50/hour =$2500. Sr and Pb Isotope Analyses Analyses of the strontium and lead isotope content in the volcanic rocks provide clues for determining the source region of the magma and the amount of crustal contamination.Ten Sr isotope analyses X $420 =$4200;Ten Pb isotope analyses X $420 =$4200. K-Ar Potassium argon age dates on selected igneous rocks provide age control on magma evolution and help determine periodicity of activity and the rate of extrusion.Ten dates at $400 =$4000. Carbon-14 radiometric dates are required to date the youngest volcanics in the area.(K-Ar dating techniques cannot be used for young rocks).Carbon -14 dates help delineate the recent volcanic history which is necessary for evaluating volcanic risk.Six analyses X $300 =$1800. Products As they are completed,preliminary results of the petrological,geochemical and isotopic analysis of the volcanics will be distributed to participating investigators on an informal basis.A formal report containing the final results will be issued after completion of all the analyses.The report will include estimates of magma depths and temperatures based on petrologic and geochemical indicators. Schedule Field work will take place during July.A total of three weeks field work is anticipated.The geochemical analyses,petrographic and microprobe work,and report writing will take place during fall-winter 1982-83.The preliminary report on magma chemistry and evolution will be completed by May 30,1983. Understanding The salaries of the principal investigators involved in this study will be covered by DGGS.However,funding for one half-time geological assistant I and for one student intern IV is being requested.The geological assistant is needed to help perform the analysis on the geothermal fluids.The student intern will be graduate level and will help conduct the petrologic studies. It is my understanding that either Republic Geothermal,or the Alaska Power Authority,or DGGS-Anchorage will have a helicopter available during our anticipated periods of field work on and near Makushin Volcano.The helicopter is required to periodically position and retrieve people at different field locations on the volcano.In the event such helicopter support will not be available from other participants then the amount budgeted for this study must be increased by $28,000 to cover two weeks helicopter charter.

The figures almost all reflect firm price quotations from subcontractors and represent our best estimates at this time.Ultimate variations in these fig- ures will probably be due to weather considerations over and above contingencyallowancesthathavebeenmade. The figures presented on Table I aggregate $154,927 more than those given on pages 49 and 50 of Republic's October 1981 proposal.Please note that a G&A factor of 1.4 percent and a fee of 11 percent (page 50)were added to the totals for Stages VI and VII given on page 49 to determine the "old total." Most of the $154,927 increase is due to higher helicopter costs ($224,640versus$100,000);higher camp costs ($158,136 versus $93,000);and Profession- al Liability Insurance ($32,400 versus $0).These are compensated by lowergeophysicalcosts($59,283 versus $125,000)and about $1,532 worth of other diminished costs. I have,for your information,attached to this letter a memorandum from L.M.Targon to me,in which he describes the salient elements of the Pro- fessional Liability Insurance and the premium structure.I hope that this document is adequate support for the $32,400 insurance line item.I have no doubt that you will have questions regarding other line items in Table I. Please call and I'll try to answer such questions and/or provide adequate support documentation. In order to help you understand the scope of Phase Ib activities as we perceive them with the benefit of two months'worth of project experience,I have described,in some detail,the work that we propose to undertake duringStagesIIIthroughVII(Phase Ib).

REPUBLIC GEOTHERMAL,INC. Ms.Patti DeJong March 30,1982 Page 2 STAGE ITI A. STAGE IV. LAND AND ENVIRONMENTAL FIELD WORK The well site selection data collection program is designed to complement the baseline environmental data collection program and to collect that data which,when integrated with the geologic andlogisticinformationgatheredduringtheinitialfieldseason,will allow selection of the optimum thermal gradient hole and deep geo- thermal well sites.Information to be collected will primarily be general geotechnical engineering data (slope,slope stability,andsoilcharacteristics),although general hydrologic,biologic,and visual data will also be acquired. The baseline environmental data collection program is designed to acquire that environmental information which is or may be required by permit-issuing agencies and other interested parties.It will also be utilized to optimize the selection of the thermal gradient or deep well sites and to establish an environmental data base upon which to judge the impact of operations.Although the complete range of environmental concerns will be evaluated,because of thenatureoftheareaandtheproposedoperations,only certain types of information such as regards water quality,vegetation,wildlife, and rare or endangered species will be collected. FIELD EXPLORATION Republic staff geoscientists will undertake the following activities on or about April 12,1982,weather permitting: A.Confirm and expand upon existing geologic mapping accomplished by Drewes and Reeder.Samples will be taken of major rock lithologic types.We will inspect and describe major faults and lineaments detected via existing aerial photos and previously mapped by Reeder.We will sample,map,and classify hydrothermal alteration areas where accessible.We will study the surface geothermal mani- festations,their locations,sizes,types,and temperatures,and we will determine their flow rates.We will also map and sample sec- ondary geothermal manifestation deposits. Republic's geochemists will perform confirmatory analyses of the chloride and pH concentrations in the major hot spring systems and select and sample thermal waters for detailed chemical analyses that quantify 42 anions,cations,and trace elements.They will gather baseline chemical data from the primary cold springs and river waters and provide assistance to Roman Moytka of DGGS in continued sampling of fumarolic gases at Makushin fumarole fields. REPUBLIC GEOTHERMAL,INC. Ms.Patti DeJong March 30,1982 Page 3 C. VAC STAGE V. A. During the mercury soil survey,Republic staff will collect approx- imately 250 grams of "in place"soils at 1 km spacing,where acces-sible,for mercury (Hg)analyses.They will perform mercury analyses on the collected samples,using a Jerome Model 301 Mercury Detector,and plot and contour the reported mercury values on a 1:50,000 scale map. Republic will cause to be conducted a self-potential survey along a pattern of selected profiles that is designed to detect potential subsurface thermal anomalies and major fracture zones.Electrode spacing along the profiles will not exceed 200 meters with all profiles being tied to a zero reference point.Daily telluric variations will be monitored.The subcontractor,Harding-Lawson Associates,will reduce,smooth,and plot all self-potential volt- age measurements along the sampled profiles to facilitate data interpretation. DATA COMPILATION AND PROGRAM PLANNING Following field mapping and sample collection,Republic will inter- pret geological data by: 1.Making and describing thin sections of selected rock types. 2.Determining the mineralogy of hydrothermal alteration by X-ray diffraction analysis. 3.Constructing geologic maps and cross sections that incorpo- rate hydrothermal alteration,fault lineament,and lithologic-related data. Collected gas and water samples will be analyzed for major,minor, and trace chemical constituents.We will interpret gas,water,andsoil(Hg)analyses to recognize potential thermal and chemical anomalies.These data will be used to determine migration paths ofthewater(s)in the system. Republic and its subcontractor will interpret and model self- potential survey results using filtering functions,half-wavelength analysis,and induced current algorithms.We will construct a simple geometric model outlining possible regions of primary fluid flow and/or heat transfer. Republic will integrate the above geological,geochemical,and REPUBLIC GEOTHERMAL,INC. Ms.Patti DeJong March 30,1982 Page 4 H. STAGE VI: geophysical data into a comprehensive model of the Makushin geo-thermal system that defines potential near-surface geothermalanomaliesandthebestexplorationtargets. The integrated geothermal model will be combined with environmen- tal,terrain,and logistical parameters to select three primary and three alternate thermal gradient well sites. Republic will prepare thermal gradient well drilling programs for each of the three primary locations based on expected subsurface geology.The programs will include casing and tubing design; equipment and materials requirements and options;drilling method- ology;fluid disposal;health and safety precautions;and loggingschedules. Because of the timing requirements for the drilling of the thermal gradient holes,most of the permit applications for these opera- tions will have been submitted prior to the commencement of Phase Ib.To accommodate the lack of certainty for the locations of the thermal gradient holes,multiple sizes were described in those applications,as required.Tasks remaining to be accom- plished include revision of these permits,as necessary,and work- ing with the agencies to ensure their timely approval. Schedule drilling logistics for personnel,equipment,and materials. THERMAL GRADIENT WELL DRILLING Republic and its expediteron Unalaska will: A. B. Direct the move in and rig up of drilling equipment and installa- tion of personnel,supplies,and facilities. Supervise the drilling of each gradient well following the drilling program prepared in Stage V. Collect drill cutting samples (or cores)for lithologic character-ization and rock-chip geochemical analyses.We will also log and record all geologic and thermal data in accordance with accepted industry practice. The thermal gradient hole drilling operations will be monitored at random by environmentally trained personnel over and above monitor- ing by drilling personnel to assure compliance with permit require- ments.Environmental quality monitoring stations set up during the REPUBLIC GEOTHERMAL,INC. Ms.Patti DeJong March 30,1982 Page 5 environmental baseline data collection program will be remeasured, as appropriate,to detect changes brought about by the operations. STAGE VII:DATA SYNTHESIS AND DEEP WELL SITE SELECTION In order to accomplish this task,Republic will: A.Analyze and interpret rock geochemistry,lithologies,and thermaldatacollectedfromeachofthegradientwells. B.Integrate these data with all previously gathered geological,geo- chemical,and geophysical data. C.Refine and modify the Makushin geothermal system model to reflect the newly integrated data. D.Utilize the refined geothermal resource model to select three deep exploration targets. E.Combine the chosen target locations,environment data,terrain,and logistical parameters to locate an optimum deep exploratory well site. F.Prepare and design a deep exploratory well drilling program that includes drilling specifications,casing,mud,logging,and cementing programs.Well testing will also be designed in prelimi- nary form,i.e.,logistics and site facilities. Patti,I trust that the information supplied above is detailed enough to allow you to write up a "scope of services"section for the contract amend- ment.I expect that we will be saying the same things more formally in our Phase Ia final report due April 30. Please call me as soon as questions arise so that I can help speed the contract development.Republic is anxious for the project to move ahead smoothly,and we will feel better about making relatively large financial commitments when we have the Ib contract.

As you recall,you and I mutually agreed to extend the scope of Phase Ib to include work Stages VI and VIII.This modifica- tion was made in order to allow work to proceed uninterrupted by Phase II contract negotiations that might have been disruptive under the original schedule.The planned scove increase means that additional costs of approximately $758,396 will be incurred by Republic during Phase Ib and that total Ib costs will now approximate $1,251,355.Because Republic will be obligated to pay its subcontractors at 30-day intervals during Phase Ib,we request that provision be made in the Phase Ib contract for Republic to invoice the APA monthly. We realize that there will be at least a 30-day lag between submittal of invoices to APA and receipt of payment by Republic, during which time Republic will be "lending"money to the sub- contractors.Is there a way in which Republic can be reimbursed for the cost of this "advance"to its subcontractors?May we include this "money cost"as an expense in our monthly APA billings? During our recent trip to Unalaska,it became obvious that air photos,suitable for generation of topographic maps,cannot be acquired while the project area is under deep snow cover.I, therefore,request permission to delay the aerial photography and the map generation until May when ground conditions should be acceptable.

Originally,Republic estimated that the cost of drilling a 4,000-foot well would be +$13,000 per day plus mobilization-demobilization and helicopter support.An 8,000-foot hole would require the use of a larger rig estimated (through Parker Drilling)to cost +$18,000 per day.Additionally,the deeper hole might require up to 90 days to drill rather than the 40 days allocated to drilling time for a 4,000-foot well. The incremental increase in the rig cost would then be: 90 days X $18,000 -40 days X $13,000 =$1,620,000 -$520,000 =$1,100,000. If we have to fish for 20 days (two 10-day episodes)and sidetrack once (5 days),the incremental cost increase would be 25 x $18,000 or $450,000. If the 8,000-foot capacity rig and all related equipment and supplies have to be transported up the mountain by heli- copter,and if helicopter support is maintained throughout the drilling program (to ferry in mud,bits,parts,workers, --]Proj.Cove: Fi2 Coc3:28.02.04 | J.Outs:4.sya.J REPUBLIC GEOTHERMAL,INC. December 8,1981 Ms.Patty De Jong Page 2 etc.),then this would cost about $1.5 million for mob-demob and $5,000 per day for support. If the resource is water-dominated,say 80%water and 20% steam,then testing might cost $750,000 rather than the $73,000 originally estimated (an increase of +$675,000). Finally,if weather is especially bad,a 10%contingency for excessive delays should be calculated on all procedures. Presented below is a summary of the costs of the items briefly described above: l.Incremental cost increase to utilize large (8,000-foot)rig $1,100,000 2.Fishing and sidetracking 25 days at $18,000/day $450,000 3.Helicopter mobilization and demobilization of all rig supplies,camp supplies,etc.$1,500,000 4.Helicopter support at $1,000/hr, 3 hrs per day for 90 days $270,000 5.Well testing cost increase for water-dominated resource $675,000 Subtotal $3,995,000 6-6 10%bad weather contingency $400,000 Total $4,395,000 Patty,this $4.4 million is a large number that is conser- vatively estimated to take into account many of the diffi- culties that can be envisioned.It is a pessimistic,butpossible,mixture of scenarios. If Representative Sutcliff could obtain +$4.4 million morefortheproject,it would take much of the pressure off all concerned.I should stress,however,that any increase overandabovetheoriginal$4.7 million originally budgeted would REPUBLIC GEOTHERMAL,INC. December 8,1981 Ms.Patty De Jong Page 3 be very prudent,as it would greatly increase the chances for achievement of project objectives.

Supervision and coordination of a project group of four geologists,two geophysicists,and temporary support person- nel as required to undertake an aggressive exploratory cam- paign for new gas reserves in the Sacramento Valley and Delta area.The arrival of "bright spot"recording-processing of seismic data markedly influenced the industry with the result that competition for data acquisition and land leasing was extremely active.Conditions required maximizing manpower effectiveness to rapidly formulate prospective trends,ac- quire and interpret seismic data from two crews,and then to acquire drillable land blocks.Final prospect evaluation and drilling followed. Project Coordinator,Westside San Joaquin Valley. The first supervisory assignment was for a small group of two geologists,one geophysicist,and the part-time assignment of a paleontologist.This specific project focused on deep water deposited sand fairways and fans present between struc- tural highs that were later rejuvenated to elevate sand edges into productive trap positions. Subsurface Geologist -Geophysicist (for Westside San Joaquin Valley). A wide variety of structural and stratigraphically entrapped oi]accumulations were recognized as present in the southwest San Joaquin Valley.Job was to pick over this mature prov- ince to initiate,develop,evaluate and present a series of exploratory plays.Well control and seismic data were inte- grated to produce unit isopach,sand isolith and structural horizon maps.Extremely rapid stratigraphic and lateral velocity changes required repeated use of theograms and involved migration techniques to insure proper identification and depiction of seismic-stratigraphic wedging.Plays were developed,recommendations made and approved,and wells were drilled.During this time a five-month leave of absence was taken to successfully complete and defend a Ph.D.disserta- tion. John L. 1969 1968 9-1967 BATT"Smith Page 3 Seismic Crew Client Representative,Bakersfield. The assignment required determining final line locations to adequately evaluate exploratory plays,observing field opera- tions,determining recording parameters,selection of various processing options,and then documenting the cost accounting of seismic crew.Innumerable time section interpretations and structure maps were rapidly made throughout the San Joaquin,Cuyama and Salinas Valleys to give an earliest evaluation from the crew's results.Additional formal pro- cessing background was received by attending the three geo- physical schools at the corporate data processing center. Geophysicist,Los Angeles Basin. First year of geophysical training provided an introduction to seismic data usage.Experience was gained as to the pro- gramming,field recording,computer processing and interpre- tation methods.Special interpretive problem requiring the discrimination of symmetrical and unsymmetrical multiples was resolved by a series of depth-time-depth iterations that utilized existing computer programming.Most of the effort was involved with the use of old dynamite and new Vibroseis data to structurally map a number of prospects within the Los Angeles and San Gabriel Basins. Petrographer,Santa Barbara Channel Area. The January 1968 Santa Barbara Channel Federal Lease Sale was anticipated with studies that were expanded to further inves- tigate aspects of the stratigraphy on and around the Channel Islands.The heavy mineral content was specifically examined in outcrop samples plus a limited number of ocean bottom and well core samples.A proposed system of maturity index valuing was developed to type units,to modify or support correlations,and to bring to light certain transgressive- regressive sequencing.Predictions of offshore reservoir quality and distribution incorporated these results.Follow- ing that a parallel study was made of the total section exposed along the Santa Ynez mountain front near the coast. Mineral suites were identified,and the degree of unit to unit correlatability/distinction was analyzed with a proposed similarity index developed to describe with matrix program- ming the vertical (temporal)and lateral variations present. Significant conclusions were reached as to the specific rela- tionships of the Ojai Eocene section versus that found pres- ent west of Santa Barbara. John L."BA1T"Smith Page 4 1966 -1967 Surface-Subsurface Geologist,East Los Angeles Basin. Previous independent interpretations of Puente Hills surface geology and of subsurface geology in some contiguous oi] fields had resulted in some significant discrepancies and inconsistencies.Resolving this situation involved field checking,review and modification of the existing strati- graphic,paleontonolgic and structural surface mapping in the specific area,plus the review and reinterpretation of the wel]data available.A report provided a synthesized inter- pretation of the detailed stratigraphic relationships with continuous structural mapping between the outcrop formational units and the oi]producing reservoirs within the nearby Esperanza,Yorba Linda,Kraemer and Richfield 011 fields.

Anchorage,AK 99501 Dear Patti: Phase II deep well drilling costs were estimated as follows in the Republic-Dames and Moore proposal of November28,1981: Logistical Planning $69,363 Exploratory Drilling 2,528,592 Well Testing.73,292 Well Supervision and Demob "32,276 .$2,703,523 11%Fee '297,384 TOTAL '$3,000,907 It is our understanding that this total figure is pres- ently allocated and available for the project.It must be noted however,that this estimate was made in 1981 dollars and was stated to be contingent on the following basic conditions: A.A geothermal reservoir at relatively shallow depth ,(3,000-4,000'),and B.A dry steam resource Phase Ia geologic,geochemical,and geophysical work and Phase Ib temperature gradient hole drilling,all done in the period April-September 1982,strongly suggest the existence ofahotwaterortwo-phase resource which could be more than 4,000 feet below the ground surface. It is now apparent that in 1983 dollars the available funding is sufficient only for a relatively small diameter (+6-1/4")stratigraphic hole drilled to a depth of 3,000-4,000feet.Such a hole would be of value in further establishing geothermal gradients,obtaining additional geologic data and, if it were to penetrate a geothermal reservoir,it might yield a Proj.Code:---- File cede:2%.O2. J.Date:L£O..2+ REPUBLIC GEOTHERMAL,INC. Ms.Patti DeJong November Page 2 12,1982 some significant data related to economic aspects of theresource.It is felt,however,that pending sufficient addi-tional funding,the next logical step is the drilling of a full-scale well to +6,000 feet.Advantages of such anapproach 1. ares The large drilling rig that would.be utilized to drill a +6,000 foot hole could,if necessary,drilldeeperifdataindicatedaneedtotest.incrementallyfurtherintoareservoir.A rig used to drill.aslim,3,000 foot well would be unable to go signifi-cantly deeper due to design constraints. A production scale well would become a project assetbyprovidingfluidsforpowergeneration.It is doubtful that a stratigraphic test hole could yield more than experimental data;though it might possibly serve as an injection well.- A large well would permit testing of maximum resource'flows and thus maximize acquisition of knowledge con-cerning the reservoir.A small diameter well,though it might yield significant and important data,would be "casing limited"in regard to flow rates,and it would not therefore allow assessment.of ultimate resource potentials. Based on geologic data and field operational and logis- tical experience gained in the temperature gradient hole drilling program,the following basic ground rules would applytothe1983deepdrillingprogram: A.Although the possibility of a shallow reservoir has not been completely ruled out,the well must be programmed in such a manner that it can be tested and.completed as a producer at depths ranging from 3,000 feet to as deep as 6,000 feet. It is anticipated that the diorite pluton will be continuous from a depth of 40-50 feet to total depth, which for budgeting and scheduling purposes must be assumed to be.+6,000 feet.Actual penetration ratesareprojectedasbeing+100'/day at the locationselected.Obviously,should production be encoun- tered at a significantly shallower depth,rig time and costs would be substantially reduced. Due to the remoteness of the project from service and supply centers (i.e.,Anchorage or the West Coast of the "Lower Forty-Eight")and the unpredictability of Ms.Patti DeJong November 12,1982 . 4 : , Page 3 |a,oe yo.- a) commercial transportation schedules,logistical:plan-ning becomes of the utmost importance.It is an absolute necessity that essentially all drilling and completion equipment,casing,and consumable supplies adequate to cover.all reasonable contingencies of a6,000.foot well be on hand prior to spud. D.Because of terrain limitations and environmentalconstraints,the 1983 drilling project will betotallyreliantonhelicoptertransportationofequipment,fuel,and supplies from Dutch Harbor for all phases of the operation from initial locationbuildingandrigmobilization,and daily rig support |through testing,demobilization, and location cleanup. E.Due primarily.to weather constraints as they apply tohelicoptertransportation,a full camp will be main-tained at the drill site,even though the location isonly+12 miles from Dutch Harbor.Conversely,a ) staging area/storage facility will be maintained at Dutch Harbor and equipment and supplies moved-to the site on an "as needed"basis so as to make the mostefficient.use of helicopter flight time.= F..Because of the necessity.for a totally helicopter-supported operation,the selection of a drilling rigisextremelylimited.At this time,investigationhaslocatedonlyonehelicoptertransportablerig inAlaska,or on the West Coast,that is capable of-drilling a 6,000 foot geothermal well.Conversion of other-rigs so that they could be transported by heli- copter requires extensive modification and/or replacement of major components at a substantial cost. G.Again due to weather constraints,it is considered unfeasible to conduct the initial drilling operations at any time other than during the summer months. This timing unfortunately conflicts with the North Slope Sea Lift and places a premium on barge trans- portation from the standpoints of both:cost and .equipment availability. Considering the above-listed basic conditions and ground rules,we have developed the following cost estimate which is believed to be realistic for a 6,000 foot exploratory well to be drilled at the Makushin Volcano site in 1983.

Makushin is proceeding satisfactorily,but at a rate that is slower than was anticipated in Republic's initial Phase IB plans.We are now approximately four weeks behind schedule, and I would have to guess that we will fall one more week behind when we drill the third gradient hole in Glacier Valley.

This incremental budget assumes that:1)we will continue to use the camp (it is less expensive and "safer"than billeting drillers in town),2)the third gradient hole will require two weeks mobilization and three weeks drilling time,3)Republic supervisory personnel will make two additional round trips between Los Angeles and Dutch Harbor,and 4)Dames &Moore geotechnical experts and an archeologist's services will be required to preliminarily assess the feasibility of building a road into Glacier Valley for the drilling of the production well next year.
