Measures

Will any of our activities disturb any of the animals/subsistence activity near Wainwright and any other places near your operations? No, it won’t. We have subsistence advisors

that will be discussed in further slides. E

Will you have oil spill response capabilities in Kotzebue ? Yes, we will. We won’t be exploring in Kotzebue Sound but we will have oil spill

response vessels staged there in the event

we should need it. N/A

Are you going to have crews from Deering, Buckland, and

Kotzebue? The crews won’t be from these villages; however, we will be running a couple of programs that will have opportunities for employment. N/A

How much sound are you going to be making outside of Deering ? Around the middle of July, we will bring

the 8 vessels there and anchor them. They’ll stay there and won’t be moving

around in the Sound . The landing craft will be making 3

- 4 trips to Kotzebue. We will have subsistence advisors informing us of any subsistence activity so that will help us

avoid those areas. E

What’s your drilling depth ? The water at our Burger Site is about 130 feet deep. The wells we are looki ng to
drill are around 7,000

- 8,000 deep. N/A

Are the ones you hire going to get training like OSHA... Yes, they are. N/A

Are you going to be running these barges back and forth while you

drill ? No, these barges will bring them into Goodhope Bay and they will just sit there. We’ll only use them if there is an oil spill

in the Chukchi and we need them. N/A

Is the ice going to affect that well ? We have done ice gouge studies in that region . We have found the deepest N/ASHELL EXPLORATION COMMENT ANALYSIS Plan of Cooperation Meeting

historical ice gouges and make the depth of

the mudline cellar deeper than that mark, to protect against the possibility of ice gouging disturbing the well.

How can you see and drill at that depth ? When you drill at that depth, the well does

not cave in. We also have a remote that operates at that depth for us to see. N/A

Will you let us know ahead of time when the training will be ? We will probably be contracting with NANA and they will let the community

know

. N/A

Will you be back to Buckland ? We are required to hold 2 community meetings each year in communities that are impacted by our operations. So we will be

back this summer. C

Your subsistence advisor

- a re you going to provide a skiff for

them ? Will they be out hunting or in town? Usuall y what they do is they go to local search and rescue, talk to hunters and community members, monitor the VHF

. They normally stay in the village near the VHF so they can hear what’s going on. If they’re at their camps, they won’t always

hear about the subsi stence activity. E

When you guys are out there and villages are in need of help do you jump in and help ? Yes, in any emergency we do whatever we

can

. N/A

Are you aware that we study sound? If you ever want to know where the animals are going, we are doing a big study on it. We do study a lot of that. On the North Slope, we do monitor the sounds that our

activities make so we can see wha t type of impacts we make under water

Measures

If you do strike oil, what is the revenue benefit ? There isn’t currently any mechanism done by the government to share revenue. Shell

doesn ’t develop an area without making sure the community benefits

. We just signed an agreement with ASRC and their village corporations that if they want, they

can buy an interest in our oil production. Not only will this make su re that some of the profits go t o their shareholders but they

also have a seat at the table. N/A

Are the vessels all going to com e in at once ? They are going to come up in stages based

on the ice. There are some ice class vessels that can come in early. But, some of them will be arriving later on. N/A

If you find more oil and gas, are you going to send for more

vessels ? We are ex ploring with these wells and will

s eal them once we are done this year. Based on our results from this year, we will decide if we are going to continue exploration and development in the future. N/A

While they’re out there in our bay, there’s subsistence that we put in our freezers for year round. It’s pretty hard to get jobs around here because there are none and it’s hard to get food. Thanked the community member for the

comment. N/ASHELL EXPLORATION COMMENT ANALYSIS Plan of Cooperation Meeting

What improvements have you made for the Noble Disco and what happene d to the Kulluk Shell does not own the Kulluk anymore. The Polar Pioneer is going to be drilling and it is proven to be able to drill in arctic

waters.

The Noble Discover we have spent more than 250 million dollars rebuilding it. It is completely renovated from the ground up and has been rebuilt very carefully by the federal regulators. We won’t be able to bring them up north without the coast guard inspecting it. N/A

Thank you for coming up. Without you coming up, we wouldn’t

have known what was going on with Shell. I wish you all good luck and hope you get it done quick. I hope it won’t impact our coastal

animals. N/A

How soon will you start your recruiting ? Some of the jobs that will be in this region will be contracted with NANA and maybe KIC. This spring, I’d contact NANA

. N/A

Do you have any small boats that if we need help with search and rescue or do you have helicopter ? Yes, we do have a dedicated helicopter

based in Barrow that is used for search and rescue. We also keep in contact with the

search and rescue in Kotzebue

. N/A

Thank you for the food. Will the helicopters bother our caribou ? This is why we operate our subsistence advisor program. If they want to fly that day, they listen to the SAs so the pilots won’t fly near the subsistence activity
