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.` Total: 3 comment(s) API NUMBER 05 123 52713 00 Expiration Date:03/05/2027 Based on the information provided herein, this Application for Permit-to-Drill complies with ECMC Rules, applicable orders, and SB 19-181 and is hereby approved.

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. 2 COAs Page 6 of 7Date Run: 9/15/2024 Doc [#403659277] Well Name: ALFALFA 20-9HZ User Group Comment Comment Date Permit Per operator concurrence, uploaded corrected Open Hole Logging Exception Letter and deleted original 09/11/2024 Permit Final Review Completed. 08/21/2024 Engineer Offset Wells Evaluated.08/15/2024 Permit Permitting review complete.08/08/2024 OGLA The Commission approved OGDP #485787 on March 6, 2024 for the Oil and Gas Location related to this Form 2.
