10/31/2014 | WPX will run triple-combo open hole logs from well TD up to base of surface casing on one of the first wells drilled on a multi-well pad. Remaining wells on the pad will be logged with either cased hole pulsed neutron or triple-combo open hole. Every well will also have a CBL log from well TD up through well surface. Form 5 Completion Reports will identify wells on the pad with triple-combo open hole logs. |

9/17/2015 | 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.
Avoid constructing any road segment in the channel of an intermittent or perennial stream
Minimize the number, length, and footprint of oil and gas development roads
Use existing roads where possible
Combine and share roads to minimize habitat fragmentation
Maximize the use of directional drilling to minimize habitat loss/fragmentation
Maximize use of long-term centralized tank batteries to minimize traffic
Maximize use of remote completion/frac operations to minimize traffic
Maximize use of remote telemetry for well monitoring to minimize traffic
Phase and concentrate development activities, so that large areas of undisturbed habitat for wildlife remain.
Maintain undeveloped areas within development boundaries sufficient to allow wildlife to persist within development
boundaries during all phases of construction, drilling, and production.
Minimize the duration of development and avoid repeated or chronic disturbance of developed areas. Complete all
anticipated drilling within a phased, concentrated, development area during a single, uninterrupted time period.

| Construction | Form: (02 )
400899743
9/17/2015 | Structures for perennial or intermittent stream channel crossings should be constructed using appropriately sized bridges or
Culverts.
Design road crossings of streams at right angles to all riparian corridors and streams to minimize the area of disturbance to the
extent possible.

| Drilling/Completion Operations | Form: (02 )
400899743
9/17/2015 | Use centralized hydraulic fracturing operations.
Install and maintain adequate measures to exclude all types of wildlife (e.g., big game, birds, and small rodents) from all fluid
pits (e.g., fencing, netting, and other appropriate exclusion measures).
Conduct well completions with drilling operations to limit the number of rig moves and traffic.

| Interim Reclamation | Form: (02 )
400899743
9/17/2015 | Remove well pad and road surface materials that are incompatible with post-production land use and re-vegetation
Requirement
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.
