COGIS - Best Management Practice Results

BMP Type	Source Document	Best Management Practices
Drilling/Completion Operations	Form: (02 ) 401393287 12/18/2017	Kerr-McGee acknowledges and will comply with the COGCC Policy for Bradenhead Monitoring during Hydraulic Fracturing Treatments in the Greater Wattenberg Area dated May 29, 2012.
Drilling/Completion Operations	Form: (02 ) 401393287 12/18/2017	Anti-Collision: Kerr-McGee will perform an anti-collision evaluation of all active (producing, shut in, or temporarily abandoned) offset wellbores that have the potential of being within one hundred fifty (150) feet of a proposed well prior to drilling operations for the proposed well. Notice shall be given to all offset operators within one hundred fifty (150) feet prior to drilling.
Drilling/Completion Operations	Form: (02 ) 401393287 12/18/2017	One of the first wells drilled on the pad will be logged with Cased hole Pulsed Neutron Log with Gamma Ray Log from the kick-off point to 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.
Drilling/Completion Operations	Form: (02 ) 401393287 12/18/2017	604c.(2).B. Closed Loop Drilling System: KMG will use a closed loop or “pitless” system for drilling and fluid management and will not construct a reserve pit.
Drilling/Completion Operations	Form: (02 ) 401393287 12/18/2017	604c.(2).C. Green Completions: Temporary above ground polyethylene water pipelines will deliver water to location operations from larger trunk lines to reduce truck traffic and minimize air pollution. Pipeline infrastructure is in place prior to completions operations to ensure saleable gas, once hydrocarbons are cut, is sent directly to sales without flaring during flowback.
Drilling/Completion Operations	Form: (02 ) 401393287 12/18/2017	604c.(2).H. BOPE: Our rigs at a minimum will have a double ram with blind and pipe ram and annular preventer.
Drilling/Completion Operations	Form: (02 ) 401393287 12/18/2017	604c.(2).I. BOPE Testing for Drilling Operations: BOPEs will be tested upon rig-up and, at a minimum, every 30 days.
Drilling/Completion Operations	Form: (02 ) 401393287 12/18/2017	604c.(2).J. BOPE for Well Servicing Operations: Blowout prevention equipment will be used on any servicing operations associated with this well. Backup stabbing valves will be used during any future servicing operations during reverse circulation. Valves shall be pressure tested before each well servicing operation using low-pressure air and high-pressure fluid.
Drilling/Completion Operations	Form: (02 ) 401393287 12/18/2017	604c.(2).K. Pit Level Indicators: All storage tanks used for active drilling operations (used in lieu of pits) contain pit level monitors with Electronic Drilling Recorders (EDR). KMG uses EDRs with pit level monitor(s) and alarm(s) for production rigs. Basic level gauges are used on tanks utilized for the surface rig.
Drilling/Completion Operations	Form: (02 ) 401393287 12/18/2017	604c.(2).L. Drill Stem Tests: No drill stem tests are planned and none will be performed without prior approval from the Director.
Drilling/Completion Operations	Form: (02 ) 401393287 12/18/2017	605.c.(1) Special Equipment: Wells will be equipped with automatic control valves and will continuously be monitored by the Integrated Operations Center (IOC) such that if a sudden change in pressure is detected the well will be shut in and fail safe.
Drilling/Completion Operations	Form: (02 ) 401393287 12/18/2017	803. Lighting: To the extent practicable, site lighting shall be shielded and directed downward and inward toward operations to avoid glare on public roads and nearby Building Units.
Community Outreach and Notification	Form: (04 ) 402980979 5/12/2022	Courtesy notifications will be sent to all parcel owners with building units within 1,500 feet of the location letting them know about our subsequent well operations. Signs will be placed in conspicuous locations and will include Oxy contact information; the Oxy Stakeholder Relations team will respond to all community member inquiries. The signs will be placed so as not to create a potential traffic hazard
Planning	Form: (04 ) 403545305 10/16/2023	Operations are daylight-only; no lighting impacts are anticipated from operations.

The signs will be placed so as not to create a potential traffic hazard
Community Outreach and Notification	Form: (04 ) 403545305 10/16/2023	Courtesy notifications will be sent to all parcel owners with building units within 2,000 feet of the location letting them know about our subsequent well operations and providing contact information for Kerr McGee’s response line and online resources.
Wildlife	Form: (04 ) 403545305 10/16/2023	This location was reviewed using a desktop method to review publicly available wildlife data (including CPW & ECMC data) as well as internal wildlife datasets and aerial imagery. All field personnel are trained to identify wildlife risks and raise concerns noticed during operations with the KMOG Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) department.
Dust control	Form: (04 ) 403545305 10/16/2023	Water will be placed on dirt access roads to mitigate dust as needed.
Noise mitigation	Form: (04 ) 403545305 10/16/2023	Operations will be in compliance with Table 423-1 requirements. Based off the rig sound signature, rig orientation will be considered to reduce noise levels to nearby building units.
