| OGLA | Form: (02) 401854296 12/17/2018 | Drilling/Completions: The following conditions of approval (COAs) will apply:
• A closed loop system must be implemented during drilling (as indicated on this Form 2 and previously submitted / approved Form 2A). All cuttings generated during drilling with oil based mud (OBM) must be segregated from water/bentonite based mud-(WBM-) generated drill cuttings and placed separately on the well pad. All OBM-generated drill cuttings must be kept in tanks/containers, or placed on a lined/bermed portion of the well pad; prior to disposition. The moisture content of any OBM-generated drill cuttings in a tank, cuttings containment area, or pile shall be as low as practicable to prevent accumulation of liquids greater than de minimis amounts. The operator has indicated that ‘Cuttings Disposal’ will be “Offsite” and that the ‘Cuttings Disposal Method’ will be “Commercial Disposal” (as shown in the ‘Drilling Waste Management Program’ sections of the Form 2A and this Form 2). Any liners associated with oil-based drilling mud and OBM-generated drill cuttings must be disposed of offsite per CDPHE rules and regulations. Any changes to drill cuttings management and disposal at this location will require submittal (via a Form 4 Sundry Notice) and approval of a Waste Management Plan detailing the changes (specifying cuttings characterization methods, cuttings management, amendment, and onsite disposal location[s]).
• The moisture content of water/bentonite-based drilling mud (WBM) drill cuttings, generated during drilling of the surface casing intervals and intermediate intervals, and managed onsite; shall be kept as low as practicable to prevent accumulation of liquids greater than de minimis amounts. The operator has indicated that ‘Cuttings Disposal’ will be “Offsite” and that the ‘Cuttings Disposal Method’ will be “Commercial Disposal” (as shown in the ‘Drilling Waste Management Program’ sections of the Form 2A and the Form 2). After drilling and completion operations have been completed, if any of the WBM-generated drill cuttings will remain on the well pad location (cuttings management area, the cut portion of the pad, cuttings trench, dry cuttings drilling pit, or utilized in onsite interim reclamation activities), they must be sampled and meet the applicable standards of Table 910-1. No liners (if used) are allowed to be disposed of with the drill cuttings. |
| Engineer | Form: (02) 401854296 12/31/2018 | 1) Operator shall comply with the most current revision of the Northwest Notification Policy.
2) Oil-based drilling fluid is to be used only after all fresh water aquifers are covered.
3) Operator shall provide cement coverage from the production casing shoe (5 1/2" First String) to a minimum of 200' above the surface casing shoe to provide full isolation of the Coalmont Formation. Verify production casing cement coverage with a cement bond log.
4) The Operator shall monitor the bradenhead pressure of all wells under Operator’s control within 300 feet of the well which is to be treated, provided such other wells penetrate the productive zone which is to be treated. This offset monitoring will be required for any well stimulated on this pad.
If at any time during the Treatment or the 24-hour post-stimulation period, the bradenhead annulus pressure of the Treatment well or any of the monitored offset wells increases by more than 200 psig, the Operator of the well being treated shall notify the Director by Form 42, as soon as practicable, but no later than twenty-four (24) hours following such incident. Within fifteen (15) days after the occurrence, the Operator or Adjacent Operator(s), as the case may be, shall submit a Sundry Notice, Form 4, giving all details, including corrective actions taken.

| Engineer | Form: (04) 402522778 01/27/2021 | Following the anticipated acquisition of certain assets owned and operated by SandRidge Energy in Jackson County, Colorado, SandRidge acknowledges Gondola Resources plans to modify SandRidge’s pending Gas Capture Plan for the Ray Ranch 0780 1-16H well and one additional well at the Ray Ranch Pad. Gondola will install a CAT driven 250 KW generator at the Ray Ranch Pad and use natural gas from the wells to power the engines on the pad. This work is expected to commence in the Spring of 2021 and conclude in the Summer of 2021. Remaining gas volumes will be routed to the Pintail SWD Pad. Gondola anticipates this arrangement to be deployed and operational by Summer 2021. |
