COGIS - Conditions of Approval Results

Type	Source Document	Conditions of Approval
UIC	Form: (02 ) 401151263 12/5/2016	1. Injection is not authorized until approval of Subsequent Forms 31 and 33. 2. PRIOR TO PERFORMING OPERATIONS: Operator is required to contact COGCC to discuss Step Rate Test or Injectivity Test criteria for Maximum Surface Injection Pressure determination. Prior approval of Form 4 is required for step rate and injectivity tests. 3. PRIOR TO PERFORMING OPERATIONS: Approval of Form 4 is required for acid and fracturing jobs. (New as of 4/13/2016). 4. Retrieve water sample(s) from injection zone(s) before stimulating formation. Samples must be analyzed for Total Dissolved Solids at a minimum. 5. For ALL NEW DRILL UNDERGROUND INJECTION WELLS a suite of open-hole Resistivity/Gamma Ray and Density/Neutron logs IS REQUIRED from Surface Casing shoe to TD. A PDF, TIFF, or PDS visual image and a LAS or DILS file version of each log is required. 6. For all new and converted Underground Injection Control wells a Cement Bond Log (CBL) is required on the cased portions of the hole from the bottom of the casing to the top of the next shallower casing string for all casing strings other than the Surface Casing. Only a PDF, TIFF, or PDS visual image is required. 7. Operator must provide all tops of formations encountered from surface to TD on the Form 5 when submitted.
Engineer	Form: (02 ) 401151263 12/20/2016	1) Submit Form 42 electronically to COGCC 48 hours prior to MIRU (spud notice) for the first well activity with a rig on the pad. 2) Comply with Rule 317.j. and provide cement coverage from end of 7-inch casing to a minimum of 200' above Niobrara. Verify coverage with cement bond log. 3) Bradenhead test shall be performed within 60 days of rig release and the Form 17 submitted within 10 days of the test.
UIC	Form: (04 ) 401326852 10/30/2017	Operator may increase daily injection rate from 10,000 to 12,500 bbl/day. Operator may request additional increases after operating at this rate for 1 calendar month without seismic activity.
