COGIS - Conditions of Approval Results

Type	Source Document	Conditions of Approval
Engineer	Form: (02) 402279421 02/12/2020	1)Operator shall comply with the most current revision of the Northwest Notification Policy. 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to Operators, with the following exception: All field notice requirements specified in that Notice to Operators are superseded by the requirements of the most current revision of the Northwest Colorado Notification Policy (see Condition of Approval #1). 3)Operator shall provide cement coverage from the production casing shoe (4 1/2" FIRST STRING) to a minimum of 200' above all Mesaverde 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.
Engineer	Form: (02) 403023487 05/19/2022	1)Operator shall comply with the most current revision of the Northwest Notification Policy. 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to Operators, with the following exception: All field notice requirements specified in that Notice to Operators are superseded by the requirements of the most current revision of the Northwest Colorado Notification Policy (see Condition of Approval #1). 3)Operator shall provide cement coverage from the production casing shoe (4 1/2" FIRST STRING) to a minimum of 200' above all Mesaverde 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.
Permit	Form: (02) 403023487 06/24/2022	Operator shall comply with Notice to Operators: Interim Reclamation Procedures for Delayed Operations (dated January 5, 2017).
Engineer	Form: (04) 403280442 05/11/2023	1) Operator shall comply with the most current revision of the Northwest Notification Policy. 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to Operators, with the following exception: All field notice requirements specified in that Notice to Operators are superseded by the requirements of the most current revision of the Northwest Colorado Notification Policy (see Condition of Approval #1). 3) Operator shall provide cement coverage from the production casing shoe (4 1/2" FIRST STRING) to a minimum of 200' above all Mesaverde 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) During stimulation, operator shall monitor the bradenhead, casing, and tubing pressure of the proposed well and all offset wells under Operator’s control which penetrate the stimulated formation and have a treated interval separation of 300 feet or less. Operator shall notify COGCC Engineering staff if bradenhead pressures increase by more than 200 psig.
Engineer	Form: (06) 403547743 10/10/2023	1) The approved Form 6, Notice of Intent will be at the location during all phases of plugging operations. 2) 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. 3) 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 COGCC 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. 4) With the Form 6 SRA operator must provide written documentation, which positively affirms each COA listed above has been addressed.

COGIS - Best Management Practice Results

BMP Type	Source Document	Best Management Practices
Planning	Form: (02 ) 402279421 5/29/2020	Alternative Logging Program: One of the first wells drilled on the pad will be logged with open-hole resistivity log with gamma-ray log from TD into the surface casing. All wells on the pad will have a cement bond log 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 “Alternative Logging Program - 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.
Drilling/Completion Operations	Form: (02 ) 402279421 5/29/2020	Closed loop system will be used. No pits will be built. Caerus will ensure 110 percent secondary containment for any potential volume of fluids that may be released.
Planning	Form: (02 ) 403023487 7/5/2022	The associated well pad Location ID: 335937 was approved on May 29, 2020 by the COGCC. The BLM White River Field Office (WRFO) approved the Application for Permit to Drill (APD) extension request for this well on February 4, 2022, under the land use planning review of the WRFO Record of Decision and Approved Resource Management Plan (ROD/RMP), as amended by the WRFO Oil and Gas Development Plan Approved Resource Management Plan Amendment and the Northwest Colorado Greater Sage Grouse Approved RMPA. Please reference the attached WRFO Environmental Assessment from July 2020 and the Decision Record approved by the WRFO BLM on July 6, 2020, which specifically addresses the criteria in which the associated well pad was evaluated and approved.
