Permit	Form: (02 ) 401459182 8/9/2018	Operator will ensure the wellbore beyond the unit boundary setback is physically isolated and is not completed. In the Operator Comments on the Form 5A the operator will (1) report the footages from the section lines of the bottom of the completed interval, (2) describe how the wellbore beyond the unit boundary setback is physically isolated, and (3) certify that none of the wellbore beyond the setback was completed.

Verify coverage with cement bond log. 3) Oil-based drilling fluid is to be used only after setting surface casing. Bradenhead tests shall be performed and reported according to the following schedule and Form 17 submitted within 10 days of each test: 1) Within 60 days of rig release, prior to stimulation. If any pressure greater than 200 psi, must contact COGCC engineer prior to stimulation. 2) 6 months after rig release, prior to stimulation (delayed completions). 3) Within 30 days of first production, as reported on Form 5A.
Engineer	Form: (02 ) 401459182 9/15/2018	West Seltzer COAs (09) Operator acknowledges the proximity of the listed non-operated wells. Operator agrees to provide mitigation Option 1 or 2 (per the DJ Basin Horizontal Offset Policy), ensure all applicable documentation is submitted, and submit Form 42(s) (“OFFSET MITIGATION COMPLETED”) for the remediated wells, referencing the API Number of the proposed horizontal well(s) stating what appropriate mitigation occurred and that it has been completed, prior to the hydraulic stimulation of this well. Operator will assure that the well’s required aquifer isolation is present and verified. Zarlengo 2 (API 001-07141) Operator acknowledges the proximity of the listed wells. Operator agrees to provide mitigation Option 1 or 2 (per the DJ Basin Horizontal Offset Policy), ensure all applicable documentation is submitted, and submit Form 42(s) (“OFFSET MITIGATION COMPLETED”) for the remediated wells, referencing the API Number of the proposed horizontal well(s) stating what appropriate mitigation occurred and that it has been completed, prior to the hydraulic stimulation of this well. Operator will assure that the well’s required aquifer isolation is present and verified. Zarlengo 2 (API 001-08810)
Engineer	Form: (02 ) 401459182 9/15/2018	In the Form 5A comments, operator will (1) certify that this well has no treated interval within 150’ of the treated interval of another operator’s well for which a signed Stimulation Setback Consent was not obtained, (2) provide the following information for all other operator’s offset wells without consent that have a treated interval within 150’ of this as-drilled wellbore: well name and API number, depth of the perforation in this well nearest to the treated interval of the offset well, and the distance between the wells at that depth, and (3) address the wells listed below as either (a) obtained consent or (b) treated interval more than 150’ away from this as-drilled wellbore. 001-06795, ZARLENGO 1

COGIS - Best Management Practice Results

BMP Type	Source Document	Best Management Practices
Drilling/Completion Operations	Form: (02 ) 401459182 9/19/2018	Conventional drill stem tests will not be conducted on DJ Basin horizontal wells currently being executed or planned by GWOC. If plans change in the future a well specific drill stem testing plan will be prepared for that particular well. Note that GWOC may elect to use one of several available wireline deployed tools for the purpose of measuring down hole formation pressures and/or collecting down hole fluid samples from the target formation(s) of a particular well.
Drilling/Completion Operations	Form: (02 ) 401459182 9/19/2018	GWOC shall identify the location of the P&A wellbore with a permanent monument as specified in Rule 319.a.(5). The operator shall also inscribe or imbed the well number and date of plugging upon the permanent monument. P&A wellbores shall be cutoff well below ground surface in agricultural areas to provide for landowners to safely farm the reclaimed well area.
Drilling/Completion Operations	Form: (02 ) 401459182 9/19/2018	Prior to drilling operations, GWOG will perform an anti-collision scan of existing offset wells that have the potential of being within close proximity of the proposed well. This anti-collision scan will include definitive MWD or gyro surveys of the offset wells with included error of uncertainty per survey instrument, and compared against the proposed well path with its respective error of uncertainty. If current surveys do not exist for the offset wells, Operator may have gyro surveys conducted to verify bottom hole location. The proposed well will only be drilled if the anti-collision scan results indicate that there is not a risk for collision, or harm to people or the environment.
Drilling/Completion Operations	Form: (02 ) 401459182 9/19/2018	GWOG shall obtain signed written consent for any portion of the proposed wellbore’s treated interval within 150’ of an existing (producing, Shut-in, or temporarily abandoned) or permitted oil and gas well’s treated interval belonging to another operator prior to completion of the well.
Drilling/Completion Operations	Form: (02 ) 401459182 9/19/2018	A BOPE with a minimum pressure rating of 3,000 psi will be utilized. At a minimum it will consist of 2 ram preventers and 1 annular preventer. The blind rams will be positioned below the pipe rams. A backup system of pressure control will be onsite consisting of at a minimum 1,000 psi accumulator (backup pressure). Accumulator is tested to 1,000 psi. Operator may use fixed sized pipe rams matching the tubular size. The annular preventer will be pressure tested to 250 psi low and 2,000 psi high for 10 minutes each. The ram preventers will be tested to 250 psi low and 2,500 psi high for 10 minutes each. All remaining well control equipment will be tested to 250 psi low and 2,500 psi high for 10 minutes each. The pressure tests will be conducted when the equipment is first installed and every 30 days thereafter. Pipe rams and blind rams will be function tested before every well service operation. Annual BOP inspections and pressure tests will be performed by the service company and will be charted & retained for 1 year. Backup stabbing valves shall be used on operations that require reverse circulation. Valves will be pressure tested before each well service operation in low pressure and high pressure range. The GWOC onsite representative will be certified in Well Control Operations by a Well-Cap certified training service.
Drilling/Completion Operations	Form: (02 ) 401459182 9/19/2018	GWOC will comply with the “COGCC Policy for Bradenhead Monitoring during Hydraulic Fracturing Treatments in the Greater Wattenberg Area”, dated May 29, 2012
Drilling/Completion Operations	Form: (02 ) 401459182 9/19/2018	One of the first wells drilled on the pad will be logged with an open-hole Resistivity and Gamma Ray Log from the kick-off point into the surface casing. All wells on the pad will have a cement bond log with gamma-ray run on production casing (intermediate casing or production liner if run) to the surface casing. The horizontal portion of every well will be logged with a MWD/GR log. The Form 5, Completion Report, for each well on the pad will list all logs run and have those logs attached. The Form 5 for a well without an open hole log shall clearly state “No open-hole logs were run” and shall clearly identify (by API#, well name and number) the well in which open-hole logs were run.
