| OGLA | Form: (06) 403358433 04/05/2023 | COA's provided by the operator as Best Management Practices under Technical Detail/ Comments:
3rd party wildlife surveys will be conducted on this well prior to rigging up for P&A activities.
Notification will be given to any adjacent building unit occupants within a 1000 feet of the wellhead of planned P&A start date. |
| OGLA | Form: (06) 403358433 04/05/2023 | Due to proximity to a mapped wetland and surface water, operator will use secondary containment for all tanks and other liquid containers. Operator will implement stormwater BMPs and erosion control measures as needed to prevent sediment and stormwater runoff from entering the wetland and surface water. |
| Engineer | Form: (06) 403358433 04/07/2023 | 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 COGCC within three (3) months of collecting the samples.
If there is a need for sampling, contact COGCC engineering for verification of plugging procedure.

| Engineer | Form: (06) 403358433 04/07/2023 | 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 (approximately 1520’) : verify that all fluid (liquid and gas) migration has been eliminated. If evidence of fluid migration or pressure remains, contact COGCC Engineer for an update to plugging orders.
3) Pump surface casing shoe plug only after isolation has been verified. Circulate cement to surface if production casing is not pulled.
4) Leave at least 100’ of cement in the wellbore for each plug without mechanical isolation.
5) With the Form 6 SRA operator must provide written documentation which positively affirms each COA listed above has been addressed.

| Engineer | Form: (06) 403358433 04/07/2023 | 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 COGCC Spill/Release Report, Form 19, associated with the abandoned line.

| OGLA | Form: (06) 403671932 02/09/2024 | Operator committed to the following Best Management Practices under the Technical Detail/ Comments section on the Submit Tab:
3rd party wildlife surveys will be conducted on this well prior to rigging up for P&A activities.
Notification will be given to any adjacent building unit occupants within a 1000 feet of the wellhead of planned P&A start date. |

Operator will implement stormwater BMPs and erosion control measures to prevent sediment and stormwater runoff from entering the wetlands. |
| OGLA | Form: (06) 403671932 02/09/2024 | Well is in a CPW mapped Mule Deer Severe Winter Range High Priority Habitat. Although plugging and abandonment operations with heavy equipment will be allowed, the Operator is strongly encouraged to avoid them between December 1 through April 30. |
| Engineer | Form: (06) 403671932 02/09/2024 | 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.

| Engineer | Form: (06) 403671932 02/09/2024 | 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. |
| Engineer | Form: (06) 403671932 02/09/2024 | 1) Provide 2 business day notice of plugging MIRU via electronic Form 42, and provide 48 hours Notice of Plugging Operations, prior to mobilizing for plugging operations via electronic Form 42. These are 2 separate notifications, required by Rules 405.e and 405.I.
2) Prior to placing the 821’ plug: verify that all fluid migration (liquid and gas) has been eliminated. If evidence of fluid migration or pressure remains, contact ECMC Engineer for an update to plugging orders.
3) After isolation has been verified, pump surface casing shoe plug. If cement is not circulated to surface, shut-in, WOC 4 hours then tag plug – must be at 571’ or shallower and provide 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. |
