Kerr-McGee acknowledges and will comply with the ECMC Policy for Bradenhead
Monitoring during Hydraulic Fracturing Treatments in the Greater Wattenberg Area
dated May 29, 2012.`
2 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. Notice shall be given to all offset operators within one
hundred fifty (150) feet prior to drilling.`
CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL, IF ANY LIST
All representations, stipulations and conditions of approval stated in the Form 2A for this location shall
constitute representations, stipulations and conditions of approval for this Form 2 Permit-to-Drill and are
enforceable to the same extent as all other representations, stipulations and conditions of approval stated in
this Permit-to-Drill.
COA Type Description
Drilling/Completion Operations Per Order 1-232, Bradenhead tests shall be performed according to the following
schedule and Form 17 submitted within 10 days of each test:
1) Within 60 days of rig release, prior to stimulation. If any pressure greater than 200 psi
is observed or if there is continuous flow, Operator must contact ECMC engineering for
approval prior to stimulation.
2) If a delayed completion, a second test is required between 6-9 months after rig
release and must be conducted prior to stimulation. If any pressure greater than 200 psi
is observed or if there is continuous flow, Operator must contact ECMC engineering for
approval prior to stimulation.
3) A post-production test within 60 days after first sales, as reported on the Form 10,
Certificate of Clearance.
Drilling/Completion Operations 1) Submit Form 42 electronically to ECMC 2 business days prior to MIRU (spud notice)
for the first well activity with a rig on the pad and provide 2 business day spud notice via
Form 42 for all subsequent wells drilled on the pad.
2) Comply with Rule 408.j. and provide cement coverage from TD to a minimum of 500'
above Niobrara and from 500’ below Sussex to 500’ above Sussex. Verify coverage
with a cement bond log.
3) Oil based drilling fluid can only be used after all groundwater has been isolated.
Drilling/Completion Operations Operator acknowledges the proximity of the listed wells. Operator agrees to: provide
mitigation option 1 or 2 (per the Offset Well Evaluation and Hydraulic Fracturing
Operator Guidance Document) to mitigate the situation, ensure all applicable
documentation is submitted based on the selected mitigation option chosen, and submit
a Form 42 (“OFFSET MITIGATION COMPLETED”) stating that appropriate mitigation
occurred and that it has been completed, prior to the hydraulic stimulation of this well.

Planning Pursuant to Rule 702.b.(2), the approval of this Application for Permit to Drill constitutes
a "change in circumstance" to the approved Financial Assurance Plan. The Operator
must file a revised Form 3, Financial Assurance Plan, within 10 days of this approval.
Drilling/Completion Operations Operator will log six (6) additional well during the first rig occupation with open-hole
resistivity log with gamma-ray log from the kick-off point into the surface casing for the
stratigraphically deepest wells on each side/direction of the pad for a total of seven (7)
wells logged.

3 Drilling/Completion
Operations
Open Hole Logging Exception: One of the first wells drilled on the pad will be logged
with cased-hole neutron log with 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 in that well and have those logs attached. The Form 5 for each well
shall state “Open Hole Logging Exception - No open-hole logs were run” and shall
clearly identify the type of log and the well (by API#) in which open-hole logs were
run.`
