| Engineer | Form: (02) 400567995 05/01/2014 | (1) COMPLIANCE WITH THE MOST CURRENT REVISION OF THE NORTHWEST COLORADO NOTIFICATION POLICY IS REQUIRED. SEE ATTACHED NOTICE.
(2) COMPLIANCE WITH THE MOST CURRENT REVISION OF THE GARFIELD COUNTY RULISON FIELD NOTICE TO OPERATORS IS REQUIRED, WITH THE FOLLOWING EXCEPTION: ALL FIELD NOTICE REQUIREMENTS SPECIFIED IN THIS NOTICE TO OPERATORS ARE SUPERSEDED BY THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE MOST CURRENT REVISION OF THE NORTHWEST COLORADO NOTIFICATION POLICY (SEE CONDITION OF APPROVAL #1). SEE ATTACHED NOTICE.
(3) CEMENT ON PRODUCTION CASING MUST BE A MINIMUM OF 200' ABOVE THE TOP OF THE MESA VERDE FORMATION (OR 200' ABOVE THE OHIO CREEK FORMATION IF PRESENT). CEMENT TOP VERIFICATION BY CBL IS REQUIRED.

| Permit | Form: (02) 400567995 05/20/2014 | Open hole resistivity and gamma logs shall be run to describe the stratigraphy of the entire well bore and to adequately verify the setting depth of surface casing and aquifer coverage. On a multi-well pad, these open hole logs are only required on one of the first wells drilled on the pad and the Drilling Completion Report - Form 5 for every well on the pad shall identify which well was logged.

| Engineer | Form: (04) 400875094 10/13/2015 | 1) The COA requiring cement coverage 200' above the top of the Mesa Verde (or Ohio Creek if present) is waived for this well. Operator is to monitor the bradenhead and notify COGCC engineering staff if the pressure exceeds 0.25 times the surface casing setting depth (TVD) in psi.
2) Operator is to perform a bradenhead test and submit the results on a Form 17 within one month of this form approval. |
| Engineer | Form: (04) 401972665 03/15/2019 | If an MIT is to be performed, a Field Operations Notice Form 42 must submitted 10 days prior to the MIT. |
| Engineer | Form: (06) 401965557 04/10/2019 | 1)Provide 48 hour notice of plugging MIRU via electronic Form 42.
2)Check bradenhead pressure and perform a bradenhead test prior to MIRU if the pressure is greater than 25 psi measured at the time of the test then a sample of both the production and bradenhead gas shall be collected and submitted for laboratory analysis of the gas composition and stable isotopes. The compositional analysis should include hydrogen, argon, oxygen, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, methane (C1), ethane (C2), ethene, propane (nC3), isobutane (iC4), butane (nC4), isopentane (iC5), pentane (nC5), hexanes +, specific gravity and British Thermal Units (BTU).The stable isotope analysis should include delta DC1, delta 13C1, delta 13C2, delta 13C3, delta 13iC4, delta 13nC4, delta 13iC5 (if possible), delta 13nC5 (if possible), and delta 13C of CO2 (if possible). The analytical results shall be submitted to the COGCC via Form 43 (Analytical Sample Submittal Form).
Gas sample containers should be filled in accordance with container manufacturer or laboratory recommendations; purging multiple container volumes may not be feasible due to limited gas volumes.
If water is encountered in the bradenhead during testing then samples should be collected and submitted for the laboratory analysis of major anions (chloride, carbonate, bicarbonate, and sulfate), cations (sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium) total dissolved solids (TDS), BTEX, DRO, GRO, and dissolved gasses (RSK 175). If there is a limited amount of water available then anions, cations and BTEX should be given first priority. Data from bradenhead water samples shall be submitted to the COGCC via Form 43.
Please refer to Appendix A of the COGCC Operator Instructions for Bradenhead Testing and Reporting for more information regarding testing and sampling protocol.
The operator shall provide notice to Environmental Supervisor Alex Fischer at alex.fischer@state.co.us or 303-894-2100 X 5138 and Northwest Region Engineer Shannon Chollett at shannon.chollett@state.co.us or 970-250-0130, a minimum of 72 hours prior to conducting field operations. Bradenhead testing and sample collection (if applicable). If samples are collected, copies of all final laboratory analytical results shall be provided to the COGCC within three (3) months of collecting the samples.
3)Properly abandon flowlines as per Rule 1105. File electronic Form 42 once
abandonment complete. Within 30 days of an operator completing abandonment
requirements for an off-location flowline or crude oil transfer line the operator shall
submit a Flowline Report, Form 44.
4)Operator shall implement measures to control unnecessary and excessive venting, to protect the health and safety of the public, and to ensure that vapors and odors from well plugging operations do not constitute a nuisance or hazard to public welfare.
5)Tag plug at surface casing shoe no deeper than ~1,830’.
