COGIS - Conditions of Approval Results

Type	Source Document	Conditions of Approval
Engineer	Form: (02 ) 400429452 6/17/2013	1)Provide notice of MIRU via an electronic Form 42. 2)Comply with Rule 317.i and provide cement coverage to a minimum of 200' above the Niobrara. Verify cement coverage with a cement bond log per 317.o.
Permit	Form: (02 ) 400429452 7/5/2013	Operator must meet water well testing requirements per Rule 318A.
OGLA	Form: (06 ) 404033901 12/19/2024	COA's provided by the operator as Best Management Practices under Technical Detail / Comments: Signage for P&As: Prior to commencing operations, Kerr McGee will post signs in conspicuous locations. The signs will indicate plugging and abandonment operations are being conducted, the well name, well, and the Operator’s contact information. Signs will be placed so as not to create a potential traffic hazard. Notifications: Courtesy notifications will be sent to all parcel owners with building units within 1,500 feet of the location letting them know about out plugging and abandonment operations and providing contact information for Kerr McGee's response line and online resources. Lighting: Operations are daylight-only; no lighting impacts are anticipated from operations. Noise: Operations will be in compliance with Table 423-1 requirements. Based off the rig sound signature, rig orientation will be considered to reduce noise levels to nearby building units.
Engineer	Form: (06 ) 404033901 1/8/2025	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.
Engineer	Form: (06 ) 404033901 1/8/2025	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 ) 404033901 1/8/2025	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 1210’ 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 972’ 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 surface plug 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 ) 404033901 1/8/2025	FLOWLINE AND SITE CLOSURE 1) 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. 2) 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.

COGIS - Best Management Practice Results

BMP Type	Source Document	Best Management Practices
Drilling/Completion Operations	Form: (02 ) 400429452 7/5/2013	Prior to drilling operations, Operator may perform an anti-collision review of existing offset wells that have the potential of being within close proximity of the proposed well. This anti-collision review may include MWD or gyro surveys and surface locations of the offset wells with included error of uncertainty per survey instrument, and compared against the proposed wellpath with its respective error of uncertainty. If current surveys do not exist for the offset wells, Operator may have gyro surveys conducted to verify bottomhole location. The proposed well may only be drilled if the anti-collision review results indicate that the risk of collision is sufficiently low as defined by the anti-collision plan, with separation factors greater than 1.5, or if the risk of collision has been mitigated through other means including shutting in wells, plugging wells, increased drilling fluid in the event of lost returns or as is appropriate for the specific situation. In the event of an increased risk of collision, that risk will be mitigated to prevent harm to people, the environment or property. For the proposed well, upon conclusion of drilling operations, an as-constructed directional survey will be submitted to COGCC with the Form 5. At the time of permitting, the operator has identified the following well(s) as being within close proximity of the proposed well: FREUND 33-7 Anti-Collision: HSR-M J FARMS 12-7
Drilling/Completion Operations	Form: (02 ) 400429452 7/5/2013	Kerr McGee acknowledges and will comply with the COGCC Policy for Bradenhead Monitoring during Hydraulic Fracturing Treatments in the Greater Wattenberg Area dated May 29, 2012.
Planning	Form: (04 ) 403378973 5/8/2023	Site lighting will be shielded and directed downward and inward toward operations to avoid glare on public roads and nearby Building Units.
Community Outreach and Notification	Form: (04 ) 403378973 5/8/2023	Signs will be placed in conspicuous locations and will include Oxy contact information; the Oxy Stakeholder Relations team will respond to all community member inquiries. The signs will be placed so as not to create a potential traffic hazard
Community Outreach and Notification	Form: (04 ) 403378973 5/8/2023	Courtesy notifications will be sent to all parcel owners with building units within 2,000 feet of the location letting them know about our subsequent well operations and providing contact information for Kerr McGee’s response line and online resources.
Wildlife	Form: (04 ) 403378973 5/8/2023	This location was reviewed using a desktop method to review publicly available wildlife data (including CPW & COGCC data) as well as internal wildlife datasets and aerial imagery. All field personnel are trained to identify wildlife risks and raise concerns noticed during operations with the KMOG Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) department.
Dust control	Form: (04 ) 403378973 5/8/2023	Water will be placed on dirt access roads to mitigate dust as needed.
Noise mitigation	Form: (04 ) 403378973 5/8/2023	Noise associated with pipe handling, traffic, and other operational activity will be minimized between 7:00 pm and 7:00 am. Based off the rig sound signature, rig orientation will be considered to reduce noise levels to nearby building units.
