3/21/2023 | 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. |

3/21/2023 | The associated well pad Location ID: 479185 was approved on January 11, 2021 by the COGCC. The BLM White River Field Office (WRFO) approved the Application for Permit to Drill (APD) for this well on December 2, 2020 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 November 2020 and the Decision Record approved by the WRFO BLM on November 25, 2020, which specifically addresses the criteria in which the associated well pad was evaluated and approved. |

3/21/2023 | Closed loop system will be used.
DRILL CUTTINGS: The moisture content of all drill cuttings managed onsite shall be kept as low as practicable to prevent accumulation of liquids greater than de minimis amounts. All cuttings generated during drilling will be placed in a bermed portion of the well pad prior to onsite beneficial reuse.
Drill cuttings will be put through shakers to minimize moisture and analyzed for Table 915-1 constituents. Cuttings that meet 915-1 levels will be backfilled into the cuttings management area along the northwestern portion of the pad.
CONTAINMENT: During drilling activities, Caerus utilizes a portable containment liner under the substructure of the drilling rig during drilling activities to protect shallow groundwater from any potential spills surrounding the rig during drilling. A liquid release would simply be vacuumed up from the liner. When drilling activity is completed, the liner is removed and transferred to the next drilling location. For permanent containment at the oil and gas location Caerus will ensure 150% secondary containment of volume in the single largest tank on the oil and gas location in compliance with Rule 603.o. During completions, Caerus may utilize 15-20 temporary tanks to hold frac fluid and flowback water. Tanks would be housed in a compacted earthen bermed area and secondary containment.
FLOWBACK & STIMULATION: As wells progress from the drilling stage to the completions stage temporary working tanks will be situated on the ELU A18-495 Well Pad. Caerus estimates that there could be 15-20 500-bbl tanks on location for roughly 18-months as the wells progress from the drilling to completions stage during Sim-Ops. The contents of the tanks will contain produced water. The temporary tanks will be placed on a certain portion of the ELU A18-495 Well Pad and laid upon an impervious synthetic or engineered liner which would be underlaid by road base. The liners will be sufficient to hold up to 150% of the largest tank on the location. Note, the entire Oil and Gas Location for the ELU A18-495 will include a compacted earthen berm perimeter around the operational area for ELU A18-495 Well Pad. Once the working tanks are no longer necessary for operations both the tanks and the impervious liner will be removed.

DRILL CUTTINGS: Drill cuttings will be stored in steel bins. Cuttings samples may be
collected when drilling is initiated for waste characterization. Based on the analytical
results, drill cuttings will be managed and disposed of pursuant to ECMC rule 905.e.
CONTAINMENT: During completions, Caerus may utilize 15-20 temporary tanks to hold
frac fluid and flowback water.
