Drilling/Completion Operations | Form: (02 ) 401162767 3/27/2017 | 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 ) 401162767 3/27/2017 | 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 ) 401162767 3/27/2017 | 604c.(2).H. BOPE: Our rigs at a minimum will have a double ram with blind and pipe
ram and annular preventer. |
Drilling/Completion Operations | Form: (02 ) 401162767 3/27/2017 | 604c.(2).I. BOPE Testing for Drilling Operations: BOPEs will be tested upon rig-up
and, at a minimum, every 30 days. |
Drilling/Completion Operations | Form: (02 ) 401162767 3/27/2017 | 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 ) 401162767 3/27/2017 | 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 ) 401162767 3/27/2017 | 604c.(2).L. Drill Stem Tests: No drill stem tests are planned and none will be
performed without prior approval from the Director. |
Drilling/Completion Operations | Form: (02 ) 401162767 3/27/2017 | 803. Lighting: To the extent practicable, site lighting shall be shielded and directed
downward and inward toward operations to avoid glare on public roads and nearby
Building Units. |
Drilling/Completion Operations | Form: (02 ) 401162767 3/27/2017 | 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 ) 401162767 3/27/2017 | Anti-Collision: Kerr-McGee will perform an anti-collision evaluation of all active
(producing, shut in, or temporarily abandoned) offset wellbores that have the potential
of being within one hundred fifty (150) feet of a proposed well prior to drilling
operations for the proposed well. Notice shall be given to all offset operators within
one hundred fifty (150) feet prior to drilling. |
Drilling/Completion Operations | Form: (02 ) 401162767 3/27/2017 | 317.p Logging Program: One of the first wells drilled on the pad will be logged with
Cased-hole Pulsed Neutron Log with Gamma Ray Log the kick-off point 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 measuredwhile-
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. |
Drilling/Completion Operations | Form: (02 ) 401162767 3/27/2017 | 605.c.(1) Special Equipment: Wells will be equipped with automatic control valves and will continuously be monitored by the Integrated Operations Center (IOC) such that if a sudden change in pressure is detected the well will be shut in and fail safe. |
