Planning | Form: (02 ) 400426671 10/4/2013 | Maximize equipment and wellhead setbacks from occupied buildings and residences to the extent feasible and practicable, as determined by Encana. |
Planning | Form: (02 ) 400426671 10/4/2013 | Prior to commencement of any new drilling or completion operations, provide notification to landowners within one-half (1/2) mile of the well-site. |
Drilling/Completion Operations | Form: (02 ) 400426671 10/4/2013 | Utilize steel-rim berms around tanks and separators instead of sand or soil berms |
Drilling/Completion Operations | Form: (02 ) 400426671 10/4/2013 | Prior to drilling operations, Operator will perform an anti-collision scan of existing offset wells that have the potential of being within close proximity of the proposed well. This anti-collision scan will include definitive MWD or gyro surveys of the offset wells with included error of uncertainty per survey instrument, and compared against the proposed well path 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 will only be drilled if the anti-collision scan results indicate that there is not a risk for collision, or harm to people or the environment. For the proposed well, upon conclusion of drilling operations, an as-constructed gyro survey will be submitted to COGCC with the Form 5. |
Drilling/Completion Operations | Form: (02 ) 400426671 10/4/2013 | Utilize a high-low pressure vessel (HLP) and vapor recovery unit (VRU) for new wells drilled. Encana may remove the VRU system at such time Encana determines that the VRU system is no longer necessary due to reduced emission recoveries and/or efficiencies, but no earlier than one (1) year after the new well is drilled |
Drilling/Completion Operations | Form: (02 ) 400426671 10/4/2013 | Encana will comply with the “COGCC Policy for Bradenhead Monitoring During Hydraulic Fracturing Treatments in the Greater Wattenberg Area”, dated May 29, 2012. |
Drilling/Completion Operations | Form: (02 ) 400426671 10/4/2013 | Utilize closed-loop systems for drilling and completion operations to minimize the need for earthen pits |
Planning | Form: (02 ) 400873926 10/5/2015 | Maximize equipment and wellhead setbacks from occupied buildings and residences
to the extent feasible and practicable, as determined by Encana. |
Community Outreach and Notification | Form: (02 ) 400873926 10/5/2015 | Prior to commencement of any new drilling or completion operations, provide
notification to landowners within one-half (1/2) mile of the well-site. |

Drilling/Completion Operations | Form: (02 ) 400873926 10/5/2015 | No drill stem tests will be performed. |
Drilling/Completion Operations | Form: (02 ) 400873926 10/5/2015 | Backup stabbing valves shall be required on well servicing operations during reverse circulation. Valves shall be pressure tested before each well servicing operation using both low-pressure air and high-pressure fluid. |
Drilling/Completion Operations | Form: (02 ) 400873926 10/5/2015 | Adequate blowout prevention equipment will be used on all well servicing operations. |
Drilling/Completion Operations | Form: (02 ) 400873926 10/5/2015 | Upon initial rig-up and at least once every thirty (30) days during drilling operations thereafter, pressure testing of the casing string and each component of the blowout prevention equipment including flange connections will be performed to seventy percent (70%) of working pressure or seventy percent (70%) of the internal yield of casing, whichever is less. Pressure testing shall be conducted and the documented results will be retained by the operator for inspection by the Director for a period of one (1) year. Activation of the pipe rams for function testing shall be conducted on a daily basis when practicable. |
Drilling/Completion Operations | Form: (02 ) 400873926 10/5/2015 | Utilize a high-low pressure vessel (HLP) and vapor recovery unit (VRU) for new wells

Drilling/Completion Operations | Form: (02 ) 400873926 10/5/2015 | One of the first wells drilled on the pad will be logged with Cased-hole Pulsed Neutron 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 horizontal portion of every well will be logged with a measured-while-drilling gamma-ray log. The Form 5, Completion Report, for each well on the pad will list all logs run in that well and have those logs attached. The Form 5 for each well shall clearly state “No open-hole logs were run” and shall reference the Rule 317.p Exception granted for the well. |
