11/14/2015 | Rule 805.c. - Operator shall employ practices for control of fugitive dust caused by their operations. Such practices shall include but are not limited to the use of speed restrictions, regular road maintenance, restriction of construction activity during highwind days, and silica dust controls when handling sand used in hydraulic fracturing operations. Additional management practices such as road surfacing, wind breaks and barriers, or automation of wells to reduce truck traffic may also be required if technologically feasible and economically reasonable to minimize fugitive dust emissions. |

11/14/2015 | Green Completions - Emission Control System: Measures will be undertaken to reduce emissions of salable gas and condensate vapors during cleanout and flowback operations prior to the well being placed on production. Test separators and associated flow lines and sand traps shall be installed to accommodate green completions techniques pursuant to COGCC Rules. Edge Energy is working with a midstream operator in the area and will tie into their system for gas transportation and sales as soon as practicable. The ECD shall have an adequate capacity for 1.5 times the largest flowback 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 combustions where non-combustible gases are present. |

11/14/2015 | 604.c.(2)I BOPE Testing for Drilling Operations: 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 shall 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 shall 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.
604.c.(2)L. Drill Stem Tests: Closed chamber drill stem tests shall be allowed. All other drill stem tests shall require approval by the Director. None planned for this well.
604.c.(2).K. Pit Level Indicators: Pit level Indicators shall be used on location. No pit is planned on this location.
604.c.(2).O. Loadlines: All loadlines shall be bullplugged or capped.
207.b. Bradenhead Monitoring: Operator acknowledges and will comply with COGCC Policy for Braden-head Monitoring during Hydraulic Fracturing Treatments in the Greater Wattenberg Area dated May 29, 2012.
Anti-collision: Operator will perform an anti-collision evaluation of all active (producing, shut in, or temporarily abandoned) offset wellbores that have the potential of being within 150 feet of a proposed well prior to drilling operations for the proposed well. Notice shall be given to all offset operators prior to drilling.
604.c.(2)B.i Closed Loop Drilling Systems – Pit Restrictions: Operator will be utilizing a closed loop system
604.c.(2)H. Blowout Preventer Equipment (“BOPE”): A double ram and annular preventer will be used during drilling. At least the drilling company shall have a valid well blowout prevention certifications.
604.c.(2)J. BOPE for Well Servicing Operations: Adequate BOP equipment shall be used. Stabbing valves shall be installed in the event of reverse circulation and shall be prior tested with low and high pressure fluid. Backup stabbing valves 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. |

Requirement to Log Well: Logging Open hole resistivity log with gamma ray will be run on one of the first wells drilled on this pad to describe the stratigraphy of the vertical section of the wellbore and to adequately verify the setting depth of the surface casing and aquifer coverage. A CBL will be run on all production casing or, in the case of a production liner, the intermediate casing, when these casing strings are run. The Drilling Completion Report-Form 5 for every well on the pad shall identify which well was logged. |
