A BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF JHE PROPOSED TYPE AND SEQUENCE OF EXPLORATION ACTIVITIES TO BE UNDERTAKEN TOGETHER WITH A TENTATIVE TIMETABLE FOR THEIR PERFORMANCE INCLUDING PLAN COMMENCEMENT DATE, SEQUENCE EACH WELL IS TO BE DRILLED, TIME FRAME (DAYS) TO COMPLETE EACH WELL, AND TOTAL TIME TO COMPLETE THE PROPOSED PROJECT.

Amoco Production Conpany, 100%, acquired Mustang Island A-140 in Laass Sals 74, August 1983 for $11.4 MM.

Mustang Island A-140 is locatsd in 320 fsst of watar 65 niles offshore and east of Corpus Christi .Texas.

(Sse Attachment No. 1, Location Map).

Amoco's exploratory plan entails dr i l l ing three wells with a seni-sub-nerslbls : ig. I f these wells are successful, then two platforms will be set, and five additional exploratory wells wi l l be dri l led fron the platforas using platforn rigs. The proposed locations and depths of these wells are aa follows:

A Surface: 650' FVL 4 11,550' FNL

B. Surface: 8,900' FWL 4 650' FNL

C. Surface: 650' FVL 4 11,550' FNL

Drill ing df the f i r s t v s l l w i l l commence in January 1984, with d r i l l i n g of ths remaining weil i to end in approximately January, 1987. Total time td complete the project w i l l be approximately three years. See Attachment Nd. 2 f o r ths, Timing Schedule on the d r i l l i n g of the eight wells. I /

A DESCRIPTION OF THE DRILLING VESSEL(S), OR OTHER INSTALLATION(S) OR DEVICE(S) TO BE PERMANENTLY OR TEMPORARILY ATTACHED TO THE SEABED INDI­CATING THE IMPORTANT FEATURES THEREOF WITH SPECIAL ATTENTION TO SAFETY FEATURES AND POLLUTION PREVENTION AND CONTROL FEATURES INCLUDING OIL SPILL CONTAINMENT AND CLEANUP PLANS.

The sctual r i g to be used is uncertain at th i s time, however, i t w i l l be a semi-submersible r ig s imilar to the Alaskan Star . The r i g w i l l be equipped with a l l safety and pollut ion-prevent ion equipment required by the OCS Orders. See Attachment No. 3 for r ig and platform deta i l s . See Attachment No. 4 for Air Quality Data.

Al l operations are covered by Amoco's Oi l S p i l l Contingency Plan previ ­ously approved by the MMS.

The attached Shallow Hasard Report (Attachment No. 3) confirms that the proposed wel l locations sre free of surface f a u l t s , seafloor anomalies, and gas accumulations.

In accordance with the terms of the lease agreement, an archaeological survey was not required. See Attachment No. 6 for deta i l s on the results of the Multi-Sensor Engineering Survey.

In accordance with NTL 83-3, par. 11. A. 5, a copy of the high-resolution survey data from the two lines closest to the f i r s t proposed well i s being forwarded direct ly to the Lake Jackson, Texas Minerals Management Service D i s t r i c t .

A BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF PROCEDURES, PERSONNEL, AND EQUIPMENT USED IN YOUR OIL SPILL CONTINGENCY PLAN THAT ARE TO BE USED FOR PREVENTING, REPORT­ING, AND CLEANING UP A POLLUTION SPILL, INCLUDING EQUIPMENT LOCATION AND TRAVEL AND DEPLOYMENT TIME.

In addition to those systems commonly utilized by industry to prevent pollution, Amoco is a member of Clean Gulf Associates which is a combine of companies formed to clean up oil spills if such occur. Existing oil spill cleanup equipment with beach protection and bird-cleaning stations can bs on hand within 18 hours in the svent of a spill. This equipment is maintained on standby and in a ready state at locations such as Grand Isle, Louisiana; Houma, Louisiana; Intracoastal City, Louisiana; Cam­eron, Louisiana; Rockport, Texas; and Galveston, Texas.

All applicable safety and pollution standards of the MMS, USCG, OSHA, and the EPA will be complied with. All personnel will be trained in the proper maintenance of existing equipment and will participate in drills

Plan of Exploration for Mmtang Island Block A-140 OCS-G-6031

Air Quality

This attachment incl.des the information rsquirsd under 30 CFR Part 250.57(a), to make the necessary findings under that section.

Exemption Formula

The distance of the proposed fac i l i ty from the closest onshore area of a state is 48 statute miles:

The proposed fac i l i ty is at: latitude 27° 31' 28.36" north, and longitude 96° 19' 25.63" west.

The closest onshore area of i state is in Nueces county, Texas, at:

latitude 27* 49' 45.11" north, and longitude 97° 2* 5.55" west.

This produces the exemption amount of 1,598 tons/year for particulates, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds, and the exemption amount of 44,906 tons/year for carbon monoxide.

Projected Emissions

. Assuming that ths rate of drilling will be constant, the total feet drilled during each year of the plan are as follows:

1984 47,441 feet 1985 7,793 feet • 1986 87,203 feet . 1987 3,672 feet . #

1 Assuming 60 horsepower hours required to d r i l l one foot on an offshore oiKdnd gas drilling rig, this plan will require 2,846,460 horsepower hours to complete the 1984 portion. The duration of tho operations is 366 days. Using the emission factors for diesel powered industrial equipment from Table 3.3.3-1 of EPA publication AP-42, Compilation of Air Pollutant Emission Factors, the following total emissions are expected from this plan:

Carbon Nitrogen Sulfur Monoxide Oxide Hydrocarbons Dioxide Particulates

Drilling 9.51 43.93 3.51 2.92 3.14 Rig

Ve estimate to have two helicopter landing-takeoff cycles each day at the drilling location for the 366 day period of drilling activity. The emission factors per landing-takeoff cycle for helicopters from Table 3.2.1-3 of EPA Publication AP-42 produce the following helicopter emissions in tons:

Helicopters 2.09 0.21 0.19 0.07 0.09

Ve plan one 2,000 horsepower workboat landing with six hours of idling thiee times each week at the drilling location. The fuel consumption while idling at the drilling location is'seven gallons per hour. The emission factors (7 galIons/hour x 6 hours/landing x 3 landing/week x 52 weeks of drilling • 6,552 gallons) for CO, VOC and NOx from diesel vessel emission factors bv operating mode, Table 3.2.3-3, and the factors for SO and particulates from

Table 3.3.3-1 produce the following workboat emissions, in tons, at the drilling location:

Vorkboata 0.96 0.81 0.31 0.10 0.11

Subtotal 12.56 44.95 4.01 3.09 3.34

These eaissions are planned to occur in 1984.

Atmospheric emissions from of fi bore o i l and gas development and production (EPA 45D/e-77-206, J' ne 1977).

In 1985,.we plan to driil 1 7,793 f> t. The emissions fron the 1985 drilling operationa are as follows:

SUBJECT: SHALLOW HAZARD REPORT PLAN OF EXPLORATION MUSTANG ISLAND BLOCK A-140, OCS-G-6031

A high resolution, multi-sensor, geophysical survey was conducted over those portions of the block outside of the safety fairway that covers the central portion of the block. Seven Ht1e Unes" were recorded connecting the two areas to provide continuity for mapping purposes. The results Indicate a smooth seafloor, no surface faults, seafloor anomalies, or shallow gas accumulations at the below listed surface locations:

A Surface, 650' FWL, 11,550' FNL

C Surface, 650' FWL, 11,550' FNL

D Surface, 650' FWL, 11,550' FNL

F Surface, 650' FWL, 11,550' FNL

B Surface, 8900' FWL, 650' FNL

E Surface, 8900' FWL, 650' FNL

G Surface, 8900' FWL, 650' FNL

H Surface, 8900' FWL, 650' FNL

Conventional CDP seismic and "bright-spot" data, with associated velocity analyses, are free from anomalies at the above locations.

Geologic control 1s available Immediately west at Mustang Island Block A-139. A similar geologic column 1s expected at the proposed locations.
