COGIS - Conditions of Approval Results

Type	Source Document	Conditions of Approval
Engineer	Form: (02 ) 401130413 7/10/2017	Bradenhead tests shall be performed according to the following schedule and the Form 17 submitted within 10 days of each test: 1) Within 60 days of rig release and prior to stimulation and 2) If a delayed completion, 6 months after rig release and prior to stimulation. 3) Within 30 days after first production, as reported on Form 5A.
Engineer	Form: (02 ) 401130413 7/10/2017	1) Submit Form 42 electronically to COGCC 48 hours prior to MIRU (spud notice) for the first well activity with a rig on the pad and provide 48 hour spud notice via Form 42 for all subsequent wells drilled on the pad. 2) Comply with Rule 317.j. and provide cement coverage from TD to a minimum of 200' above Niobrara and from 200’ below Shannon to 200’ above Sussex. Verify coverage with cement bond log.
Permit	Form: (02 ) 401130413 8/29/2017	This Permit to Drill is approved subject to all the BMPs and COAs on the most recently approved Form 2A and any subsequently approved Form 4 for the Oil and Gas Location. The most recently approved Form 2A and any subsequent Form 4s containing applicable COAs for this location shall be posted onsite during construction, drilling, and completions operations.
Engineer	Form: (04 ) 402692482 5/21/2021	Prior to starting repair work, a bradenhead test shall be performed and samples collected. The Form 17 shall be submitted within 10 days of the test. The Operator will collect bradenhead and production gas samples for laboratory analysis. Copies of all final laboratory analytical results shall be provided to the COGCC within three months of collecting the samples in an approved electronic data deliverable format.
Engineer	Form: (04 ) 402692482 5/21/2021	1. Operator will implement measures to control venting, to protect health and safety, and to ensure that vapors and odors from well operations do not constitute a nuisance or hazard to public welfare. 2. Prior to starting bradenhead mitigation, if a sample has not been collected within the last twelve months collect bradenhead and production gas samples for laboratory analysis. Sampling will comply with Operator Guidance - Bradenhead Testing and Reporting Instructions, Appendix A: Liquid and Gas Sampling. Copies of all final laboratory analytical results will be provided to the COGCC within three months of collecting the samples. 3. Operator will implement measures to get an initial estimate of the gas flow rate and/or volume from the bradenhead. During the shut-in period record pressure data to adequately characterize the build-up. This mitigation plan may be used for six consecutive months. 4. At the conclusion of the six months (11/18/2021), conduct a new bradenhead test and submit the Form 17 within ten days of the test and submit a Form 4 Sundry that summarizes current well condition. The sundry should include details of the future plans, sample analysis interpretation, and the flow rate information and pressure data.
Engineer	Form: (04 ) 402692482 5/21/2021	Shut in bradenhead pressure shall not exceed 50 psig.
Engineer	Form: (04 ) 402837224 10/14/2021	Operator shall continue to monitor pressure, and report to COGCC through annual testing. If monitored well conditions meet the thresholds defined by Order 1-232 a new bradenhead sundry must be filed.

COGIS - Best Management Practice Results

BMP Type	Source Document	Best Management Practices
Planning	Form: (02 ) 401130413 9/21/2017	604c.(2).Q. Guy Line Anchors: Guy line anchors will not be used. Base Beams will be used to stabilize the rig and removed after drilling.
Drilling/Completion Operations	Form: (02 ) 401130413 9/21/2017	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 ) 401130413 9/21/2017	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 ) 401130413 9/21/2017	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 ) 401130413 9/21/2017	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 ) 401130413 9/21/2017	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 ) 401130413 9/21/2017	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 ) 401130413 9/21/2017	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 ) 401130413 9/21/2017	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 ) 401130413 9/21/2017	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 ) 401130413 9/21/2017	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 ) 401130413 9/21/2017	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 measured-while-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.
