If any pressure greater than 200 psi, must contact COGCC engineer prior to stimulation. 2) If a delayed completion, a second test is required between 6-9 months after rig release and must be conducted prior to stimulation. If any pressure greater than 200 psi is observed or if there is continuous flow, Operator 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.

COGIS - Best Management Practice Results

BMP Type	Source Document	Best Management Practices
Drilling/Completion Operations	Form: (02 ) 402404342 1/14/2021	Neosteer CL a rotary steerable unit that reduces drilling time on-site will be used. Additionally, mud chillers will be used to control cuttings odor while drilling through hydrocarbon bearing zones.
Drilling/Completion Operations	Form: (02 ) 402404342 1/14/2021	Prior to drilling operations, Crestone 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 wellpath with its respective error of uncertainty. If current surveys do not exist for the offset wells, the Operator may have gyro surveys conducted to verify bottomhole 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. For the proposed well, upon conclusion of drilling operations, an as constructed gyro survey will be submitted to COGCC with the Form 5.
Drilling/Completion Operations	Form: (02 ) 402404342 1/14/2021	Crestone 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 ) 402404342 1/14/2021	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 to 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 and have those logs attached. The Form 5 for a well without openhole logs shall clearly state "Alternative Logging Program - No open-hole logs were run" and shall clearly identify (by API#, well name & number) the well in which openhole logs were run.
Drilling/Completion Operations	Form: (02 ) 402404342 1/14/2021	No drill stem tests will be performed.
Drilling/Completion Operations	Form: (02 ) 402404342 1/14/2021	Backup stabbing valves shall 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.
Drilling/Completion Operations	Form: (02 ) 402404342 1/14/2021	Adequate blowout prevention equipment will be used on all well servicing operations.
Drilling/Completion Operations	Form: (02 ) 402404342 1/14/2021	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 will 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 will 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.
Drilling/Completion Operations	Form: (02 ) 402910716 4/10/2022	Alternative Logging Program: The Grande 4-65 20-19 3AH, API No. 05-005-07271, was the first well drilled on the pad and was 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”. The Grande 4-65 20-19 3AH, API No. 05-005-07271, is the well in which open-hole logs were run.
Drilling/Completion Operations	Form: (02 ) 402910716 4/10/2022	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.
