08/29/2018 | Operator acknowledges the proximity of the listed wells. Operator assures that this offset list will be remediated per the DJ Basin Horizontal Offset Policy (option 4). Operator will submit a Form 42 (“OTHER – AS SPECIFIED BY PERMIT CONDITION”) stating that appropriate mitigation will be completed, during the hydraulic stimulation of this permitted well. This Form 42 shall be filed 48 hours prior to stimulation. Operator will assure that the offset well’s Bradenhead is open and monitored during the entire stimulation treatment – a person will monitor for any evidence of fluid, a Bradenhead test will be performed prior to the beginning of stimulation. In addition, internal formation isolation is to be provided via either bridge plug or 100’ cement plug within 100’ of the top of the Niobrara.

08/29/2018 | Bradenhead tests shall be performed according to the following schedule and the Form
17 submitted within 10 days of each test:
1) Within 60 days of rig release and prior to stimulation and
2) If a delayed completion, 6 months after rig release and prior to stimulation.
3) Within 30 days after first production, as reported on Form 5A.

08/29/2018 | 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 and provide 48 hour spud notice via Form 42 for all subsequent wells drilled on the pad.
2) Comply with Rule 317.j. and provide cement coverage from TD to a minimum of 200' above Niobrara. Verify coverage with cement bond log.
3) Oil-based drilling fluid is to be used only after all fresh water aquifers are covered.

08/12/2025 | 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. Prior to starting bradenhead abatement, if a sample has not been collected within the last twelve months collect bradenhead and production 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 ECMC within three months of collecting the samples.
3. Bradenhead gas is not to be vented to atmosphere; any gas from the Bradenhead will be routed to the specified abatement system. Operator will implement measures to get an initial estimate of the gas flow rate and/or volume from the bradenhead. The abatement program may be used for six consecutive months.
4. Operator will submit a Form 42 (“OTHER”) stating that “bradenhead abatement program has started.”
5. At the conclusion of the six months, conduct a new bradenhead test and submit the Form 17 within ten days of the test and submit a Form 4 Sundry that summarizes current well condition. The sundry should include details of the future plans, flow rate information, pressure data and a discussion of the sample analysis.
6. At least one check valve is required for annular spaces that are tied to sales line or separator. Maintain equipment for pressure regulation and check valves in good working order.
7. Within 30 days of installing equipment, submit a Form 4 Subsequent Report including a schematic of the bradenhead tie in.
Bradenhead pressure shall not exceed threshold pressure (50 psig). |

12/01/2025 | 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 the specified abatement system. 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. No later than 12/1/2026, conduct a bradenhead test, submit a Form 17, and submit a Form 4 Sundry that summarizes current well condition. The well should be shut in for seven days to monitor and collect data to characterize build up pressures prior to conducting the bradenhead test. The sundry should include details of the future plans, sample analysis interpretation, bradenhead test description, and the flow rate information and pressure data.
4. If a sample has not been collected from surface casing within the last twenty-four 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 ECMC within three months of collecting the samples. |
