1/15/2015 | 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. |

7/7/2015 | 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 constructing any road segment in the channel of an intermittent or perennial stream
* Minimize the number, length, and footprint of oil and gas development roads
* Use existing roads where possible
* Combine utility infrastructure (gas, electric, and water) planning with roadway planning to avoid separate utility corridors
* Combine and share roads to minimize habitat fragmentation
* Where possible, consolidate pipeline and existing roadways, or roadways that are planned for development
Place roads to avoid obstructions to migratory routes for wildlife, and to avoid displacement of wildlife from public to private
lands.
* Maximize the use of directional drilling to minimize habitat loss/fragmentation
* Maximize use of long-term centralized tank batteries to minimize traffic
* Maximize use of remote completion/frac operations to minimize traffic
* Maximize use of remote telemetry for well monitoring to minimize traffic

7/7/2015 | Use centralized hydraulic fracturing operations.
* Install and maintain adequate measures to exclude all types of wildlife (e.g., big game, birds, and small rodents) from all fluid
pits (e.g., fencing, netting, and other appropriate exclusion measures).
* Conduct well completions with drilling operations to limit the number of rig moves and traffic.

| Interim Reclamation | Form: (04 )
400839555
7/7/2015 | Remove well pad and road surface materials that are incompatible with post-production land use and re-vegetation
requirements
* 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.
