| OGLA | Form: (06) 403599951 11/27/2023 | Due to close proximity to Residential Building Units (RBUs): prior to commencing operations, at a minimum, the operator will provide an informational sheet to the owners/occupants of RBUs that are nearby and adjacent to the parcel on which the well is located. The sheet will include the operator's contact information and the nature, timing, and expected duration of the P&A operations. |
| OGLA | Form: (06) 403599951 11/27/2023 | Due to close proximity of plugging and abandonment (P&A) operations to RBUs BUs, Operator will ensure compliance with maximum permissible noise levels in COGCC Rule Table 423-1 and install temporary sound walls, straw bales, or other BMPs to dampen noise if necessary. |
| OGLA | Form: (06) 403599951 11/27/2023 | Operator will implement measures to capture, combust, or control emissions to protect health and safety, and to ensure that vapors and odors from well plugging operations do not constitute a nuisance or hazard to public health, welfare and the environment. Due to the proximity of building units (BUs) all blowdown gasses will be controlled. |
| Engineer | Form: (06) 403599951 12/04/2023 | 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) Prior to placing cement above the base of the Upper Pierre (1400) : 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.
3) Pump surface casing shoe plug only after isolation has been verified. If surface casing cement is not circulated to surface, shut-in, WOC 4 hours then tag plug – must be at 310’ or shallower and provide a minimum of 10 sx plug at the surface.
4) Leave at least 100’ of cement in the wellbore for each plug without mechanical isolation.
5) After cut and prior to cap, verify isolation by either a 15 minute bubble test or 15 minute optical gas imaging recording. If there is indication of flow contact ECMC Engineering. Provide a statement on the 6SRA which method was used and what was observed. Retain records of final isolation test for 5 years.
6) With the Form 6 SRA operator must provide written documentation which positively affirms each COA listed above has been addressed.

| Engineer | Form: (06) 403599951 12/04/2023 | Consistent with Rule 911.a, a Form 27 must be approved prior to cut and cap, conducting flowline abandonment, or removing production equipment. Allow 30 days for Director review of the Form 27; include the Form 27 document number on the Form 44 for offsite flowline abandonment (if applicable) and on the Form 6 Subsequent.
Properly abandon flowlines per Rule 1105. If flowlines will be abandoned in place, include with the Form 27: pressure test results conducted in the prior 12 months as well as identification of any document numbers for a ECMC Spill/Release Report, Form 19, associated with the abandoned line.

| Engineer | Form: (06) 403599951 12/04/2023 | 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.
1) If, before opening the bradenhead valve, the beginning pressure is greater than 25 psi, sampling is required.
2) 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.
If there is a need for sampling, contact ECMC engineering for verification of plugging procedure.

| Engineer | Form: (06) 403599951 12/04/2023 | Operator shall implement measures to control venting, to protect health and safety, and to ensure that vapors and odors from well plugging operations do not constitute a nuisance or hazard to public welfare. |
| OGLA | Form: (06) 404005466 12/02/2024 | Due to close proximity to Residential Building Units (RBUs): prior to commencing operations, at a minimum, the operator will provide an informational sheet to the owners/occupants of RBUs that are nearby and adjacent to the parcel on which the well is located. The sheet will include the operator's contact information and the nature, timing, and expected duration of the P&A operations.
