Offset well buffer description for the subject well has been included on this permit for review as an attachment labeled "Other." Base of Productive Zone is the same as Bottom Hole Location. The nearest offset wellbore permitted or completed in the same formation is GLADE EAST, DOC ID: 404023428. Project Overview: The GLADE project is a groundbreaking initiative to drill a first-of-its-kind, deep geothermal well pair in the Denver-Julesburg (DJ) Basin. These wells are part of a project funded under a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) issued by the Department of Energy (DOE). The primary objective is to demonstrate the ability to penetrate deep into granitic basement rock at economically viable drilling rates, paving the way for the next generation of geothermal energy systems. Currently, most geothermal projects worldwide focus on utilizing existing hydrothermal systems, where hot water is extracted from naturally occurring reservoirs. However, a new frontier of geothermal development is emerging with enhanced geothermal systems (EGS) and advanced geothermal systems (AGS). EGS involves creating artificial reservoirs by fracturing hot, dry rock and circulating fluid to extract heat, while AGS leverages conduction from hot rock to transfer heat without the need for a fluid reservoir. These systems are particularly well-suited for high-temperature, hard basement rock, but the high cost of drilling in such conditions has been a major barrier to widespread adoption. The GLADE project aims to overcome this limitation by demonstrating the use of modern oilfield drilling technologies, combined with innovative wellbore cooling techniques, to significantly enhance rates of penetration (ROP) and extend time between equipment failures. By achieving these advancements, the project seeks to make deep geothermal systems more economically viable, enabling broader deployment in the renewable energy sector. The project involves drilling two deep geothermal wells to a target true vertical depth (TVD) of 20,000 feet, with approximately 9,500 feet of drilling through granitic basement rock. Downhole temperatures may reach as high as 572 °F, presenting a significant technical challenge. The wells are designed with a spacing of approximately 300 feet in the granitic section to minimize thermal interaction during circulation and ensure efficient heat transfer. At the surface, the wellheads are positioned 100 feet apart to allow simultaneous operations, such as drilling one well while using the other for ranging and interception support. To optimize drilling efficiency, the well paths will maintain a vertical trajectory to a depth of approximately 9,000 feet, minimizing torque and drag, side forces, and drill pipe fatigue. This design ensures mechanical stability and enhances the overall performance of drilling operations. The drilling program is scheduled to commence in April 2024, with a total planned duration of 120 days on location. This timeline includes the completion of both wells and the integration of ranging and intercept operations to connect the well toes. Establishing this connection between the wells will create a closed loop (AGS) system. Through this ambitious effort, the GLADE project seeks to demonstrate the feasibility of drilling cost-effective, high-performance geothermal wells in challenging conditions, thereby contributing to the advancement of renewable energy technologies and the development of sustainable energy solutions for the future. 404023513 404023513 FORM 2 SUBMITTED 404023513.pdf 404023513 404032060 OTHER Glade_Buffer_Analysis_20241216.pdf 562219 404023513 404032458 WELL LOCATION PLAT Glade West 03N66W02 Well Location Exhibit_20241217_Signed.pdf 482136 404023513 404032735 OFFSET WELL EVALUATION Glade_HOP_Spreadsheet_20241217_COMMENTS.xlsx 46474 404023513 404033079 DEVIATED DRILLING PLAN GLADE WEST_Permit Rev-2.pdf 218641 404023513 404033080 DIRECTIONAL DATA GLADE WEST_Permit Rev-2_Survey Template.xlsm 41282 de215647-81e4-4976-8d7a-1048b51a5e56 404023513 1 Drilling/Completion Operations 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.
