If any pressure greater than 200 psi, must contact COGCC engineer prior to stimulation. 2) If a delayed completion, 6 months after rig release and prior to stimulation. If any pressure greater than 200 psi, must contact COGCC engineer prior to stimulation. 3) A post-production test within 60 days after first sales, as reported on the Form 10, Certificate of Clearance.
Engineer	Form: (02 ) 401783079 4/4/2019	All Stimulation Setback Consent letters for this pad must be received prior to commencing stimulation work.

COGIS - Best Management Practice Results

BMP Type	Source Document	Best Management Practices
Drilling/Completion Operations	Form: (02 ) 401783079 6/7/2019	Drill stem tests (Rule 604.c.(2)L Conventional drill stem tests will not be conducted on DJ Basin horizontal wells currently being executed or planned by GWOC. If plans change in the future a well specific drill stem testing plan will be prepared for that particular well. Note that GWOC may elect to use one of several available wireline deployed tools for the purpose of measuring down hole formation pressures and/or collecting down hole fluid samples from the target formation(s) of a particular well.
Drilling/Completion Operations	Form: (02 ) 401783079 6/7/2019	Wellbore Collision Prevention – Rule 317.r Prior to drilling operations, GWOG will perform an anti-collision scan of existing offset wells that have the potential of being within close proximity of the proposed well. This 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 well path with its respective error of uncertainty. If current surveys do not exist for the offset wells, Operator may have gyro surveys conducted to verify bottom hole location. The proposed well will only be drilled if the anti-collision scan results indicate that there is not a risk for collision, or harm to people or the environment.
Drilling/Completion Operations	Form: (02 ) 401783079 6/7/2019	Stimulation Setback – Rule 317.s GWOG shall obtain signed written consent for any portion of the proposed wellbore’s treated interval within 150’ of an existing (producing, Shut-in, or temporarily abandoned) or permitted oil and gas well’s treated interval belonging to another operator prior to completion of the well.
Drilling/Completion Operations	Form: (02 ) 401783079 6/7/2019	BOPE for well servicing (Rule 604.c.(2)J A BOPE with a minimum pressure rating of 3,000 psi will be utilized. At a minimum it will consist of 2 ram preventers and 1 annular preventer. The blind rams will be positioned below the pipe rams. A backup system of pressure control will be onsite consisting of at a minimum 1,000 psi accumulator (backup pressure). Accumulator is tested to 1,000 psi. Operator may use fixed sized pipe rams matching the tubular size. The annular preventer will be pressure tested to 250 psi low and 2,000 psi high for 10 minutes each. The ram preventers will be tested to 250 psi low and 2,500 psi high for 10 minutes each. All remaining well control equipment will be tested to 250 psi low and 2,500 psi high for 10 minutes each. The pressure tests will be conducted when the equipment is first installed and every 30 days thereafter. Pipe rams and blind rams will be function tested before every well service operation. Annual BOP inspections and pressure tests will be performed by the service company and will be charted & retained for 1 year. Backup stabbing valves shall be used on operations that require reverse circulation. Valves will be pressure tested before each well service operation in low pressure and high pressure range. The GWOC onsite representative will be certified in Well Control Operations by a Well-Cap certified training service.
Drilling/Completion Operations	Form: (02 ) 401783079 6/7/2019	Bradenhead Monitoring GWOC 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 ) 401783079 6/7/2019	Alternative Logging Program: One of the first wells drilled on the pad will be logged with open-hole resistivity log and gamma-ray log from 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 and have those logs attached. The Form 5 for a well without open-hole logs shall state “Alternative Logging Program - No open-hole logs were run” and shall clearly identify the type of log and the well (by API#) in which open-hole logs were run.
