(3) CEMENT ON PRODUCTION CASING MUST BE A MINIMUM OF 200’ ABOVE THE TOP OF THE MESA-VERDE FORMATION (OR 200’ ABOVE THE OHIO CREEK FORMATION IF PRESENT). CEMENT TOP VERIFICATION BY CBL IS REQUIRED.
Engineer	Form: (04) 403792013 06/03/2024	1) Operator shall comply with COGCC Rule 419. Bradenhead Monitoring, Testing, and Reporting and Rule 420. Form 17, Bradenhead Test Report or other Director approved submittal method. 2) Comply with any CDPHE, Air Pollution Control Division rules or requirements for all atmospheric discharges. 3) Any liquids blown down are to be collected, stored, handled, and treated or disposed as E&P waste per COGCC’s 900 series rules. 4) At least one check valve is required for annular spaces that are tied to sales line or separator. Maintain equipment for pressure regulation and check valves in good working order. 5) At least one valve is required to monitor pressure and sample flow from the bradenhead. 6) Within 30 days of completing the work, submit a Form 4 Subsequent Report - Bradenhead Plan 7) Complete installation of bradenhead system by 12/3/2024
Engineer	Form: (04) 403832072 09/18/2024	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. Bradenhead gas is not to be vented to the atmosphere; any gas from the Bradenhead will routed to to specified abatement system. Shut in bradenhead pressure shall not exceed threshold pressure. Operator will implement measures to get an estimate of the gas flow rate and/or volume from the bradenhead. 3. No later than 9/18/2025, conduct a bradenhead test, submit a Form 17, and submit a Form 4 Sundry that summarizes current well condition. The well should be shut in for seven days to monitor and collect data to characterize build up pressures prior to conducting the bradenhead test. The sundry should include details of the future plans, sample analysis interpretation, bradenhead test description, and the flow rate information and pressure data. 4. If a sample has not been collected from surface casing within the last twelve months collect bradenhead 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 ECMC within three months of collecting the samples.

COGIS - Best Management Practice Results

BMP Type	Source Document	Best Management Practices
Planning	Form: (02 ) 400447581 11/23/2013	* Maximize the utility of surface facilities by developing multiple wells from a single pad (directional drilling), and by co-locating multipurpose facilities (for example, well pads and compressors) to avoid unnecessary habitat fragmentation and disturbance of additional geographic areas. * Maximize the use of directional drilling to minimize habitat loss/fragmentation * Maximize use of remote completion/frac operations to minimize traffic * Maximize use of remote telemetry for well monitoring to minimize traffic
General Housekeeping	Form: (02 ) 400447581 11/23/2013	Although this location is located within 500 ft. of perennial, ephemeral, or intermittent surface water according to USGS mapped surface waters, the attached Sensitive Area Determination concludes that the location is not within a sensitive area due to the low potential for impacts to surface water in the case of a facility release. However, in order to satisfy COGCC guidance requiring that all locations within 500 ft. of mapped surface water incorporate BMPs to protect that surface water, Williams will employ the following BMPs at this location: • Williams will ensure 110 percent secondary containment for any volume of fluids contained at well site during drilling and completion operations. • Williams will implement best management practices to contain any unintentional release of fluids. • Either a lined drilling pit or closed loop system will be implemented.
Drilling/Completion Operations	Form: (02 ) 400447581 11/23/2013	* Conduct well completions with drilling operations to limit the number of rig moves and traffic.
Interim Reclamation	Form: (02 ) 400447581 11/23/2013	* Use only certified weed-free native seed in seed mixes, except for non-native plants that benefit wildlife * WPX Energy will use certified, weed free grass hay, straw, hay or other mulch materials used for the reseeding and reclamation of disturbed areas. * Install exclusionary devices to prevent bird and other wildlife access to equipment stacks, vents and openings. * Reduce visits to well-sites through remote monitoring (i.e. SCADA) and the use of multi-function contractors.
