12/23/2015 | * Share/consolidate corridors for pipeline ROWs to the maximum extent possible.
* Maximize the utility of surface facilities by developing multiple wells from a single pad (directional drilling), and by co-locating multipurpose facilities (for example, well pads and compressors) to avoid unnecessary habitat fragmentation and disturbance of additional geographic areas.
* Minimize newly planned activities and operations within 300 feet of the ordinary high water mark of any reservoir, lake, wetland, or natural perennial or seasonally flowing stream or river.
* Locate roads outside of drainages where possible and outside of riparian habitat.
* Avoid new surface disturbance and placing new facilities in key wildlife habitats in consultation with CDOW.
* Use existing roads where possible
* Combine utility infrastructure (gas, electric, and water) planning with roadway planning to avoid separate utility corridors
* Where possible, consolidate pipeline and existing roadways, or roadways that are planned for development
* Maximize the use of directional drilling to minimize habitat loss/fragmentation
* Maximize use of remote completion/frac operations to minimize traffic
* Maximize use of remote telemetry for well monitoring to minimize traffic
* Minimize the duration of development and avoid repeated or chronic disturbance of developed areas. Complete all
anticipated drilling within a phased, concentrated, development area during a single, uninterrupted time period.

12/23/2015 | * Structures for perennial or intermittent stream channel crossings should be constructed using appropriately sized bridges or culverts
* Design road crossings of streams at right angles to all riparian corridors and streams to minimize the area of disturbance to the extent possible.

12/23/2015 | * Use centralized hydraulic fracturing operations.
* Conduct well completions with drilling operations to limit the number of rig moves and traffic.
* WPX will run triple-combo open hole logs from well TD up to base of surface casing on one of the first wells drilled on a multi-well pad. Remaining wells on the pad will be logged with either cased hole pulsed neutron or triple-combo open hole. Every well will also have a CBL log from well TD up through well surface. Form 5 Completion Reports will identify wells on the pad with triple-combo open hole logs. |

12/23/2015 | * Use only certified weed-free native seed in seed mixes, except for non-native plants that benefit wildlife
* WPX Energy will use certified, weed free grass hay, straw, hay or other mulch materials used for the reseeding and
reclamation of disturbed areas.
* Install exclusionary devices to prevent bird and other wildlife access to equipment stacks, vents and openings.
* Reduce visits to well-sites through remote monitoring (i.e. SCADA) and the use of multi-function contractors.
* Avoid dust suppression activities within 300 feet of the ordinary high water mark of any reservoir, lake, wetland, or natural perennial or seasonally flowing stream or river where possible.

12/27/2018 | The Bosley GM 34-14 well (API #05-045-07440), one of the first wells drilled on this pad, was logged with an open hole resistivity and gamma ray log (Open Hole Triple Combo) from TD into the surface casing. All wells on the pad will have a cement bond log (CBL) with gamma-ray run on production casing (or on intermediate casing if production liner is run) into the surface casing. 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 open-hole logs will state “No open-hole logs were run” and will clearly identify the type of log and the well (by API#) in which open-hole logs were run. |
