| Planning | Form: (02 ) 400580925 7/2/2014 | The nearest building unit is located 1109’ away from this oil and gas location, therefore it is not within a Designated Setback Location and is exempt from 604.c. |
| Drilling/Completion Operations | Form: (02 ) 400580925 7/2/2014 | 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. |
| Drilling/Completion Operations | Form: (02 ) 400580925 7/2/2014 | 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.
Please see the attached 318A.m letter for a list of well(s) identified by the operator as being within 150 feet of the proposed well(s). If no letter is attached, the operator has not identified any wells as being within 150 feet of the proposed well(s) at the time of permitting.

| Planning | Form: (02 ) 400906250 1/20/2016 | 604c.(2).E. Multi-Well Pads: In order to reduce surface impact, this application is for a
5 well pad. |
| Planning | Form: (02 ) 400906250 1/20/2016 | 604c.(2).Q. Guy Line Anchors: Should guy line anchors be left buried for future use,
they shall be identified by a bright marker greater than four (4) feet high and no more
than one (1) foot east of the guy line anchor. |
| Planning | Form: (02 ) 400906250 1/20/2016 | 604c.(2).R. Tank Specifications: Two 500 barrel skid-mounted frac tanks will be
temporarily placed on-site for use of the pre-spud rig only. One tank will store water
and the other will store water based mud. |
| Planning | Form: (02 ) 400906250 1/20/2016 | 604c.(2).V. Development From Existing Well Pads: Drilling from an existing well pad
was not feasible for the development of the wells on this proposed oil and gas location;
however, this well pad will be considered for future well locations. |
| Planning | Form: (02 ) 400906250 1/20/2016 | 604c.(2).S. Access Roads: KMG will utilize a lease access road from CR 10 for drilling
and production operations and maintenance equipment. The road will be properly
constructed and maintained to accommodate for local emergency vehicle access. |
| Community Outreach and Notification | Form: (02 ) 400906250 1/20/2016 | 305.a.(2) A Notice of Intent to Conduct Operations was sent to each building unit
owner within the Exception Zone or Buffer Zone Setback. Recipients did not contact
KMG.
As a part of planning this proposed location, Kerr-McGee held multi-disciplinary
Surface Impact Planning Meetings regarding the impacts and mitigations associated
with this proposed location. The toll-free hotline number and email for the Anadarko
Colorado Response Line will be posted at the entrance to the lease access road for
stakeholders during drilling and completion operations at this proposed location.
Courtesy Notifications will be sent to impacted stakeholders prior to drilling operations
and again prior to completions operations, providing contact information for the
Anadarko Colorado Response Line and online resources. |
| Traffic control | Form: (02 ) 400906250 1/20/2016 | 604c.(2).D. Traffic Plan: If required by the local government, a traffic plan will be
coordinated with the local jurisdiction prior to commencement of operations. |
| General Housekeeping | Form: (02 ) 400906250 1/20/2016 | 604c.(2).O. Loadlines: All loadlines shall be bullplugged or capped. |
| General Housekeeping | Form: (02 ) 400906250 1/20/2016 | 604c.(2).P. Removal of Surface Trash: A commercial size trash bin for removing debris
will be located on site. This bin will be for use by all parties affiliated with the
operation. |
| Storm Water/Erosion Control | Form: (02 ) 400906250 1/20/2016 | 604c.(2).W. Site-Specific Measures: KMG maintains a Storm Water Management
Plan that assesses erosion control for every KMG operated location. This location will
be added to this plan once construction begins. This site will be inspected every
fourteen (14) days during construction activities, every twenty-eight (28) days after
construction is completed, and after any major weather event. |
| Material Handling and Spill Prevention | Form: (02 ) 400906250 1/20/2016 | 604c.(2).N. Control of Fire Hazards: KMG and its contractors will employ best
management practices during the drilling and production of its wells and facilities and
will comply with appropriate COGCC rules concerning safety and fire. KMG will
ensure that any material that might be deemed a fire hazard will remain no less than
twenty-five (25) feet from the wellhead(s), tanks and separator(s). |
| Dust control | Form: (02 ) 400906250 1/20/2016 | 805.c. Dust: Water will be placed on dirt access roads to mitigate dust as needed. If
feasible, magnesium chloride will also be used as needed on access roads to further
abate dust. |
| Construction | Form: (02 ) 400906250 1/20/2016 | 604c.(2).M. Fencing Requirements: The completed wellsites will be surrounded with a
fence and gate with adequate lock to restrict access to authorized personnel only.
KMG personnel will monitor the wellsites regularly upon completion of the wells.
Authorized representatives and/or KMG personnel shall be on-site during drilling and
completion operations. |
| Noise mitigation | Form: (02 ) 400906250 1/20/2016 | 604c.(2).A. Noise: Pending a safety review after construction of the location, sound
mitigation barriers (straw bales) will be placed on the south and west sides of the pad.
Sound surveys that have been conducted on each rig type are utilized to anticipate
any additional noise mitigation once a drilling rig is determined. |
| Drilling/Completion Operations | Form: (02 ) 400906250 1/20/2016 | 604c.(2).B. Closed Loop Drilling System: KMG will use a closed loop or “pitless”
system for drilling and fluid management and will not construct a reserve pit. |
| Drilling/Completion Operations | Form: (02 ) 400906250 1/20/2016 | 604c.(2).C. Green Completions: Temporary above ground polyethylene water
pipelines will deliver water to location operations from larger trunk lines to reduce truck
traffic and minimize air pollution. Pipeline infrastructure is in place prior to completions
operations to ensure saleable gas, once hydrocarbons are cut, is sent directly to sales
without flaring during flowback. |
| Drilling/Completion Operations | Form: (02 ) 400906250 1/20/2016 | 604c.(2).H. BOPE: Our rigs at a minimum will have a double ram with blind and pipe

tested at a minimum of every 30 days. |
| Drilling/Completion Operations | Form: (02 ) 400906250 1/20/2016 | 604c.(2).J. BOPE for Well Servicing Operations: Blowout prevention equipment will be
used on any servicing operations associated with this well. Backup stabbing valves will
be used during any future servicing operations during reverse circulation. Valves shall
be pressure tested before each well servicing operation using low-pressure air and
high-pressure fluid. |
| Drilling/Completion Operations | Form: (02 ) 400906250 1/20/2016 | 604c.(2).K. Pit Level Indicators: All storage tanks used for active drilling operations
(used in lieu of pits) contain pit level monitors with Electronic Drilling Recorders (EDR).
KMG uses EDRs with pit level monitor(s) and alarm(s) for production rigs. Basic level
gauges are used on tanks utilized for the surface rig. |
| Drilling/Completion Operations | Form: (02 ) 400906250 1/20/2016 | 604c.(2).L. Drill Stem Tests: No drill stem tests are planned and none will be
performed without prior approval from the Director. |
