08/28/2013 | 1) Submit Form 42 electronically to COGCC 48 hours prior to MIRU..
2) Comply with Rule 317.i and provide cement coverage from end of 7” casing to a minimum of 200' above Niobrara and from 200’ below Sussex to 200’ above Sussex. Verify coverage with cement bond log.
3) Comply with Rule 321. Run and submit Directional Survey from TD to base of surface casing. Ensure that the wellbore complies with setback requirements in commission orders or rules prior to producing the well.

08/28/2013 | 1) Operator acknowledges the proximity of the Gordon D Brown Unit 1 (API # 123-07995) well and the Vawter Gas Unit 2 (API # 123-10875) well. Operator agrees to: provide mitigation option 1, 2 or 3 (per the DJ Basin Horizontal Offset Policy) to mitigate the situation, ensure all applicable documentation is submitted based on the selected mitigation option chosen, and submit a Form 42 (“OTHER – AS SPECIFIED BY PERMIT CONDITION”) stating what appropriate mitigation occurred and that it has been completed, prior to the hydraulic stimulation of this well. |

Operator committed to the following Best Management Practices under the Technical Detail/ Comments section on the Submit Tab:
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.
Wellbore Pressure:
In some cases, wellbore pressure drawdown operations may occur approximately 1-2 days prior to Move In Rig Up (MIRU) of the workover rig. This is conducted to allow for reduced time that the workover rig is needed on location. These operations will be conducted in accordance with Form 4 and/or Form 6 requirements.
Water:
Water will be placed on dirt access roads to mitigate dust as needed.
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.
Environmental Concerns:
This location was reviewed using a desktop method to review publicly available wildlife data (including CPW & ECMC 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.

05/20/2025 | 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. |

05/20/2025 | For Wells with known Bradenhead pressures:
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 408.e and 408.I.
2) After placing the shallowest hydrocarbon isolating plug (2200'), operator must wait a sufficient time to confirm static conditions.
3) After placing plug at 2200’ assure that all fluid migration has been eliminated by monitoring the well for a minimum of 8 hours before proceeding to the next plug. If at any time after placing this plug there is evidence of pressure or of fluid migration, contact ECMC engineering before continuing operations.
4) Prior to placing the 1345’ plug: verify that all fluid migration (liquid or gas) has been eliminated. If evidence of fluid migration or pressure remains, contact ECMC Engineer for an update to plugging orders.
5) After isolation has been verified, pump plug and displace. If cement is not circulated to surface, shut-in, WOC 4 hours then tag plug – must be at 1195’ or shallower and provide at least 10 sx plug at the surface.
6) 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.
7) With the Form 6 SRA operator must provide written documentation which positively affirms each COA has been addressed. |

05/20/2025 | 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. |
