1 Drilling/Completion
Operations
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.`
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.`

COA Type Description
Drilling/Completion Operations Per COGCC 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, must contact ECMC engineer prior to stimulation.
2) If a delayed completion, a second test is required between 6-9 months, of if there is
pressure above 200 psi, after rig release and prior to stimulation. If any pressure
greater than 200 psi, must contact ECMC engineer 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 on the pad and provide 2 business days spud notice for
all subsequent wells drilled on the pad.
2) Comply with Rule 408.j and provide cement coverage from the end of production
casing to a minimum of 500' above Niobrara. Verify coverage with cement bond log.
3) Oil-based drilling fluid is to be used only after all aquifers are covered.
