| Engineer | Form: (02) 400727226 02/12/2015 | 1)Operator shall comply with the most current revision of the Northwest Colorado Notification Policy. See attached notice.
2)Operator shall comply with the most current revision of the Garfield County Rulison Field Notice to Operators, with the following exception: all field notice requirements specified in this notice to operators are superseded by the requirements of the most current revision of the Northwest Colorado Notification Policy (see condition of approval #1).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)Operator shall provide cement coverage from the production casing shoe (4+1/2" FIRST STRING) to a minimum of 200' above all Mesa Verde Group (and Ohio Creek Formation, if present) oil, gas, and water-bearing sandstone and coalbed formations. Verify production casing cement coverage with a cement bond log.
4)Comply with all provisions of the June 12, 2008 Notice to Operators drilling wells within ¾ mile of the rim of the Roan Plateau in Garfield County – Pit Design, Construction and Monitoring Requirements. See attached notice. |
| Permit | Form: (02) 400727226 02/18/2015 | 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.

| Permit | Form: (06) 403791901 05/29/2024 | Submit form 4 with complete current and proposed WBD's. |
| Engineer | Form: (06) 403791901 07/02/2024 | 1) Provide electronic Form 42 Notice of MIRU 2 business days ahead of operations and electronic Form 42 Notice of Plugging Operations 48 hours prior to mobilizing for plugging operations. These are two separate notifications, required by Rules 405.e and 405.l.
2) The approved Form 6, Notice of Intent will be at the location during all phases of plugging operations.
3) Operator shall implement measures to control venting and to ensure that vapors and odors from well plugging operations do not constitute a nuisance or hazard.
4) Prior to placing surface shoe plug verify that all fluid (liquid and gas) migration has been eliminated. If evidence of fluid migration or pressure remains, contact ECMC Engineer for an update to plugging orders.
5) If applicable properly abandon flowlines as per Rule 1105. Pursuant to Rule 911.a. Closure of Oil and Gas Facilities, Operator will submit Site Investigation and Remediation Work plans via Form 27 for ECMC prior approval before cutting and capping the plugged well, conducting flowline abandonment, and removing production equipment. Pursuant to Rule 1105.f. Abandonment Verification, within 90 days of an operator completing abandonment requirements for a flowline or crude oil transfer line, an operator must submit a Field Operations Notice, Form 42-Abandonment of Flowlines for on-location flowlines, and a Flowline Report, Form 44, for off-location flowlines or crude oil transfer lines.
6) Prior to starting plugging operations a bradenhead test shall be performed if there has not been a reported bradenhead test within the 60 days immediately preceding the start of plugging operations.
If, before opening the bradenhead valve, the beginning pressure is greater than 25 psi, sampling is required.
If pressure remains at the conclusion of the test, or if any liquids were present during the test, sampling is required.
The Form 17 shall be submitted within 10 days of the test. Sampling shall comply with Operator Guidance - Bradenhead Testing and Reporting Instructions. If samples are collected, copies of all final laboratory analytical results shall be provided to the ECMC within three (3) months of collecting the samples.
7) With the Form 6 SRA operator must provide written documentation, which positively affirms each COA listed above has been addressed.
8) Operator shall notify ECMC engineering staff of changes to the approved plugging plan or unexpected conditions in the field as soon as feasible. Primary contact is Aaron Katz at 970-765-6300. Alternate ECMC contact is Byron Gale at 970-319-4194.
