COGIS - Conditions of Approval Results

Type	Source Document	Conditions of Approval
Engineer	Form: (02) 400626406 08/22/2014	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 the 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.
Engineer	Form: (02) 400626406 08/22/2014	Operator acknowledges the proximity of the listed wells. Operator agrees to provide mitigation Option 1 or 2 (per the DJ Basin Horizontal Offset Policy), ensure all applicable documentation is submitted , and submit a Form 42(s) (“OFFSET MITIGATION COMPLETED”) for the remediated wells, referencing the API Number of the proposed horizontal well(s) stating what appropriate mitigation occurred and that it has been completed, prior to the hydraulic stimulation of this well. Becker 5-5 API 123-13838 Becker 5-16 API 123-18181
Engineer	Form: (02) 400626406 08/22/2014	Operator acknowledges the proximity of the listed non-operated wells. Operator agrees to provide mitigation Option 4 (per the DJ Basin Horizontal Offset Policy), ensure all applicable documentation is submitted, and submit Form 42(s) (“OFFSET MITIGATION COMPLETED”) for the remediated wells, referencing the API Number of the proposed horizontal well(s) stating what appropriate mitigation occurred and that it has been completed, prior to the hydraulic stimulation of this well. Use of Option 4 is contingent upon completion of successful Bradenhead test and submission of form 17 that shows the well is in compliance with the COGCC "Policy for Special Bradenhead Testing Area in Weld County" dated 12/16/2009. Option 4 remediation will include pulling tubing, installing at least 2 RBPs, pressure test of casing, installing a 5K wellhead, and onsite monitoring of the Bradenhead during hydraulic stimulation of offset wells within a 1500' radius.

COGIS - Best Management Practice Results

BMP Type	Source Document	Best Management Practices
Drilling/Completion Operations	Form: (02 ) 400626406 9/13/2014	Operator will comply with COGCC Policy for Bradenhead Monitoring During Hydraulic Fracturing Treatments in the Greater Wattenberg Area dated May 29, 2012. The Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (COGCC) has established this Policy Regarding Bradenhead Monitoring During Hydraulic Fracturing Treatments (“Treatment”) in the Greater Wattenberg Area (“GWA”) pursuant to COGCC 207.a. (“Policy”). This Policy applies to oil and gas operations in the GWA as defined by the COGCC Rules of Practice and Procedure.
Drilling/Completion Operations	Form: (02 ) 400626406 9/13/2014	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 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 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.
