10/31/2014 | Lighting abatement measures shall be implemented, including the installation lighting
shield devices on all of the more conspicuous lights, low density sodium lighting where
practicable; and rig shrouding is not believed necessary as this is an industrial area
and the only building unit within 1,000' is owned by the operator, however, at its
election the operator may install temporary engineering controls consisting of
perimeter sound walls shall be used on the location during drilling and completion
activities to provide noise relief. Permanent equipment on location shall be muffled to
reduce noise, or shall be appropriately buffered. |

10/31/2014 | Green Completions – Emission Control Systems. Test separators and associated flow
lines and sand traps shall be installed on-site to accommodate Green completions
techniques pursuant to COGCC Rules. In the anticipated absence of a viable gas
sales line, the flow-back gas shall be thermally oxidized in an emissions control device
(ECD), which will be installed and kept in operable condition for least the first 90-days
of production pursuant to CDPHE rules. This ECD shall have an adequate capacity for
1.5 times the largest flow-back within a 10 mile radius, will be flanged to route gas to
other or permanent oxidizing equipment and shall be provided with the equipment
needed to maintain combustion where non-combustible gases are present. |

10/31/2014 | 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 anticollision
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. |
