Planning | Form: (02 ) 401148336 8/11/2017 | Blowout Prevention Equipment (“BOPE”): A double ram and annular preventer will be used during drilling. Stabbing valves shall be installed in the event of reverse circulation and shall be prior tested with low and high pressure fluid.
Backup stabbing valves will be required on well servicing operations during reverse circulation. Valves shall be pressure tested before each well servicing operation using both low-pressure air and high-pressure fluid. |
Construction | Form: (02 ) 401148336 8/11/2017 | All guy line anchors left buried for future use shall be identified by a marker of bright color not less than four (4) feet in height and not greater than one (1) foot east of the guy line anchor. |
Emissions mitigation | Form: (02 ) 401148336 8/11/2017 | Green Completions - Emission Control System. Test separators and associated flow lines and sand traps shall be installed on-site to accommodate green completions techniques pursuant to COGCC Rules.
Operator will bring a new or expand existing gas sales lines, in a timely manner, to send salable quality gas immediately down the sales line. |
Odor mitigation | Form: (02 ) 401148336 8/11/2017 | Oil & gas facilities and equipment shall be operated in such a manner that odors and dust do not constitute a nuisance or hazard to public welfare. Operator is in the process of implementing a new base fluid for Oil Base Mud systems. The aromatics and BTEX concentrations are much less than that of generic diesel. With these two things being the major contributors to the odor from diesel, this should lead to less odor at the drill site caused by OBM. |
Drilling/Completion Operations | Form: (02 ) 401148336 8/11/2017 | Anti-collision: Operator will perform an anti-collision evaluation of all active (producing, shut in, or temporarily abandoned) offset wellbores that have the potential of being within 150 feet of a proposed well prior to drilling operations for the proposed well. Notice shall be given to all offset operators prior to drilling. |
Drilling/Completion Operations | Form: (02 ) 401148336 8/11/2017 | Operator acknowledges and will comply with COGCC policy for Bradenhead Monitoring during Hydraulic Fracturing treatments in the Greater Wattenberg Area dated May 29, 2012. |
Drilling/Completion Operations | Form: (02 ) 401148336 8/11/2017 | One of the first wells drilled on the pad will be logged with open-hole Resistivity Log and Gamma Ray Log from the 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 and have those logs attached. The Form 5 for a well without open-hole logs shall clearly state “No open-hole logs were run” and shall clearly identify (by API#, well name & number) the well in which open-hole logs were run. |
Drilling/Completion Operations | Form: (02 ) 401148336 8/11/2017 | BOPE testing for drilling operations. Upon initial rig-up and at least once every thirty (30) days during drilling operations thereafter, pressure testing of the casing string and each component of the blowout prevention equipment including flange connections shall be performed to seventy percent (70%) of working pressure or seventy percent (70%) of the internal yield of casing, whichever is less. Pressure testing shall be conducted and the documented results shall be retained by the operator for inspection by the Director for a period of one (1) year. Activation of the pipe rams for function testing shall be conducted on a daily basis when practicable. |
Drilling/Completion Operations | Form: (02 ) 401148336 8/11/2017 | Operator will be utilizing a closed loop system. |
Drilling/Completion Operations | Form: (02 ) 401148336 8/11/2017 | All loadlines shall be bull plugged or capped. |
