COGIS - Conditions of Approval Results

Type	Source Document	Conditions of Approval
Permit	Form: (02 ) 400277729 5/15/2012	Operator must meet water well testing requirements per Rule 318A.
Engineer	Form: (02 ) 400277729 5/30/2012	1) Note surface casing setting depth change from 720’ to 730’. Increase cement coverage accordingly and cement to surface. 2) Submit Form 42 electronically to COGCC 48 hours prior to MIRU. 3) Comply with Rule 317.i and provide cement coverage from TD to a minimum of 200' above Niobrara and from 200’ below Sussex to 200’ above Sussex. Verify coverage with cement bond log. 4) Comply with Rule 321. Run and submit Directional Survey from TD to base of surface casing. Ensure that the wellbore complies with setback requirements in commission orders or rules prior to producing the well.
Engineer	Form: (06 ) 402087090 6/28/2019	If there has not been a reported Bradenhead test within 60 days of plugging this well, prior to starting plugging operations, a Bradenhead test shall be performed. 1) If, before opening the Bradenhead valve, the beginning pressure is greater than 25 psi, sampling is required. 2) If pressure remains at the conclusion of the test, or if any liquids were present during the test, sampling is required. 3) If sampling is required contact COGCC engineering for a confirmation of plugging requirements prior to placing any plugs. Sampling shall comply with Operator Guidance - Bradenhead Testing and Reporting Instructions. The Form 17 shall be submitted within 10 days of the test.
Engineer	Form: (06 ) 402087090 6/28/2019	Operator shall implement measures to control venting, to protect health and safety, and to ensure that vapors and odors from well plugging operations do not constitute a nuisance or hazard to public welfare.
Engineer	Form: (06 ) 402087090 6/28/2019	1) Provide 48 hour notice of plugging MIRU via electronic Form 42. 2) Prior to placing the 968’ plug: verify that all fluid migration (liquid or gas) has been eliminated. If evidence of fluid migration or pressure remains, contact COGCC Engineer for an update to plugging orders. 3) After isolation has been verified, pump plug and displace. If cement is not circulated to surface, shut-in, WOC 4 hours then tag plug – must be at 718’ or shallower and provide 10 sx plug at the surface. 4) Leave at least 100’ of cement in the wellbore for each plug. 5) Properly abandon flowlines per Rule 1105. File electronic Form 42 once abandonment is complete. Within 30 days of an operator completing abandonment requirements for an off-location flowline or crude oil transfer line, the operator must submit a Flowline Report, Form 44.

COGIS - Best Management Practice Results

BMP Type	Source Document	Best Management Practices
Construction	Form: (02 ) 400277729 5/31/2012	Remove only the minimum amount of vegetation necessary for the construction of roads and facilities. Conserve topsoil during excavation and reuse as cover on disturbed areas to facilitate regrowth of vegetation. No construction or routine maintenance activities will be performed during periods when the soil is too wet to adequately support construction equipment.
Drilling/Completion Operations	Form: (02 ) 400277729 5/31/2012	When available and reasonable use a closed-loop drilling mud system to preclude the use of an earthen reserve pits when available.
Final Reclamation	Form: (02 ) 400277729 5/31/2012	All surface restoration shall be accomplished to the satisfaction of Owner. All reseeding shall be done with grasses consistent with the Rocky Mountain native mix or other grasses reasonably requested by surface owner and during planting period suggested by Owner. Final reclamation shall be completed to the reasonable satisfaction of the Owner as soon as practical after installation (weather permitting) and in accordance with regulatory agency standards (BLM/COGCC).
Interim Reclamation	Form: (02 ) 400277729 5/31/2012	Utilize only such area around each producing well as is reasonably necessary. Restore the remainder of the well site location to its original condition within a reasonable time after the completion of operations. All reseeding shall be done with grasses consistent with the Rocky Mountain native mix or other grasses reasonably requested by surface owner and during planting period suggested by Owner.
Planning	Form: (02 ) 400277729 5/31/2012	When feasible develop multiple well sites by using directional drilling to reduce cumulative impacts and adverse impacts on wildlife resources.
Site Specific	Form: (02 ) 400277729 5/31/2012	Fence the well site after drilling to restrict public and wildlife access. Keep well site location, the road, and the pipeline easement free of noxious weeds, litter and debris. Spray for noxious weeds, and implement dust control, as needed. Bayswater Exploration & Production, LLC will not permit the release or discharge of any toxic or hazardous chemicals or wastes on Owner’s Land. Construct and maintain gates where any roads used by Bayswater Exploration & Production, LLC, its employees, or contractors cross through fences on the leased premises.
Storm Water/Erosion Control	Form: (02 ) 400277729 5/31/2012	Use water bars, and other measures to prevent erosion and non-source pollution. Implement and maintain BMPs to control stormwater runoff in a manner that minimizes erosion, transport of sediment offsite, and site degradation. Co-locate gas and water gathering lines whenever feasible, and mitigate any erosion problems that arise due to the construction of any pipeline(s).
