COGIS - Conditions of Approval Results

Type	Source Document	Conditions of Approval
Engineer	Form: (02 ) 401115854 10/7/2016	1) Submit Form 42 electronically to COGCC 48 hours prior to MIRU (Spud Notice), for the first well/activity on the pad and provide 48 hour spud notice for all subsequent wells drilled on the pad. 2) Comply with Rule 317.j and provide cement coverage from the end of production casing to a minimum of 200' above Niobrara. Verify coverage with cement bond log.
Engineer	Form: (02 ) 401115854 10/7/2016	Bradenhead tests shall be performed and reported according to the following schedule and Form 17 submitted within 10 days of each test: 1) Within 60 days of rig release and prior to stimulation or 2) If a delayed completion, 6-7 months after rig release and prior to stimulation. 3) Within 30 days after first production, as reported on Form 5A.
Engineer	Form: (04 ) 402962507 3/3/2022	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 be routed to an enclosed tank and/or combustor. Shut in bradenhead pressure shall not exceed 50 psig. Operator will implement measures to get an estimate of the gas flow rate and/or volume from the bradenhead. 3. Within thirty days of 10/19/2022, conduct a bradenhead test, submit a Form 17, and submit a Form 4 Sundry that summarizes current well condition. The sundry should include details of the future plans, sample analysis interpretation, bradenhead test description, and the flow rate information and pressure data. 4. Shut well in for at least seven days to monitor build up pressures then conduct a new bradenhead test and submit the Form 17 within ten days of the test. 5. 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 COGCC within three months of collecting the samples.
Engineer	Form: (04 ) 403328730 2/27/2023	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 be routed to an enclosed tank and/or combustor. Shut in bradenhead pressure shall not exceed 50 psig. Operator will implement measures to get an estimate of the gas flow rate and/or volume from the bradenhead. 3. By 2/23/24, conduct a bradenhead test, submit a Form 17, and submit a Form 4 Sundry that summarizes current well condition. The sundry should include details of the future plans, sample analysis interpretation, bradenhead test description, and the flow rate information and pressure data. 4. Shut well in for at least seven days to monitor and collect data to characterize build up pressures then conduct a new bradenhead test and submit the Form 17 within ten days of the test. 5. 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 COGCC within three months of collecting the samples.
Engineer	Form: (04 ) 404048554 2/7/2025	This well may be returned to annual testing and monthly monitoring. If at any point in the future bradenhead conditions meet thresholds defined by Order 1-232 a new bradenhead mitigation sundry must be filed.

COGIS - Best Management Practice Results

BMP Type	Source Document	Best Management Practices
Drilling/Completion Operations	Form: (02 ) 401115854 11/27/2016	Prior to drilling operations, Operator 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, 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 ) 401115854 11/27/2016	Operator will comply with COGCC Policy for Bradenhead Monitoring During Hydraulic Fracturing Treatments in the Greater Wattenberg Area dated May 29, 2012. The Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (COGCC) has established this Policy Regarding Bradenhead Monitoring During Hydraulic Fracturing Treatments (“Treatment”) in the Greater Wattenberg Area (“GWA”) pursuant to COGCC 207.a. (“Policy”). This Policy applies to oil and gas operations in the GWA as defined by the COGCC Rules of Practice and Procedure.
Drilling/Completion Operations	Form: (02 ) 401115854 11/27/2016	One of the first wells drilled on the pad will be logged with Cased hole Pulsed Neutron Log with Gamma Ray Log from 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 in that well and have those logs attached. The Form 5 for each well shall clearly state “No open-hole logs were run” and shall reference the Rule 317.p Exception granted for the well.
