4/18/2014 | Anti-Collision: 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 wells. The 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, operators may have gyro surveys conducted to verify bottomhole location. The proposed well will only be drilled if the anti-collision, or harm to people or the environment. For the proposed well, upon conclusion of drilling operations, a constructed survey will be submitted to COGCC with the Form 5. |
