| Planning | Form: (02A ) 401788638 9/7/2019 | 604c.(2).E. Multi-Well Pads: In order to reduce surface impact, this application is for an 8-well pad / oil and gas location. Pad will also include production equipment for the Sarchet 35-21HZ pad (see Related Forms for more detail).
Pad has been located adjacent to existing wells PDC (API #05-123-14075) and Crestone Peak Resources (API #05-123-19948) wells, and this pad will use a portion of the existing access road to consolidate disturbance.
The existing PDC & CPR wells are both located outside of the Niles Miller 37-20HZ pad disturbance area. These wells will be protected during construction as follows: KMG will set up concrete jersey barriers to protect the existing wellheads and utilize high visibility flags on the wellheads. If there is not a wellhead guard, these will also be will used. Finally, KMG will protect wells with a ditch and berm, which will deter people from driving across it.
PDC EXISTING WELL: MILLER 44-20 (API: 05-123-14075) Location ID: 336534, Status: PR – Outside disturbed area, operated by PDC
CPR EXISTING WELL: MILLER 44-20 (API: 05-123-19948) Location ID: 333215, Status: PR – Not a part of this location

| Community Outreach and Notification | Form: (02A ) 401788638 9/7/2019 | 305.a.(2) A Notice of Intent to Conduct Operations was sent to each building unit owner within the Exception Zone or Buffer Zone Setback. Recipients did not contact KMG.
As a part of planning this proposed location, Kerr-McGee held multi-disciplinary Surface Impact Planning Meetings regarding the impacts and mitigations associated with this proposed location. The toll-free hotline number and email for the Anadarko Colorado Response Line will be posted at the entrance to the lease access road for stakeholders during drilling and completion operations at this proposed location. Courtesy Notifications will be sent to impacted stakeholders prior to drilling operations and again prior to completions operations, providing contact information for the Anadarko Colorado Response Line and online resources.
