Remained in Carlile formation due to available LWD data and offset data indicating the Codell formation was being tracked appropriately. Later discovered that the data being used to correlate our location in the reservoir was misleading and that we had entered the Carlile and been drilling in the Carlile for 4500'. Due to lack of productivity in the Carlile, we will pull back and sidetrack a new wellbore and remain in the Codell formation. Total measured depth reached in the wellbore being plugged back o 15,848’ MD Casing set – size(s) and measured depth(s) o 8.625” surface casing set at 1858’ MD Description of fish in the hole (if any) – including top and bottom measured depths o No fish left in hole. Description of proposed plugs: setting measured depths, heights, and cement volumes o Open hole sidetrack – no plugs are planned to be set Type of cement to be used for all plugs, including slurry weight (ppg) and yield (cf/sk) o Open hole sidetrack – no plugs are planned to be set Measured depth of proposed sidetrack kick-off point o 8850' MD Proposed objective formation(s) for sidetrack hole – new or same as the wellbore being abandoned o Same as original, permitted wellbore – Codell BHL target for sidetrack hole – new or same as the wellbore being abandoned o Same as original, permitted wellbore MD different due to the directional profile of the well, and any change in the directional profile will likely change its MD to some extent. The 20191’ MD is our final MD of the sidetrack wellbore.

COA Type Description Drilling/Completion Operations Operator will log two (2) additional wells with open-hole resistivity log with gamma-ray log from the kick-off point into the surface casing for the two stratigraphically deepest wells on each side/direction of the pad for a total of three wells logged. 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. 05-123-11399 EMERSON #2-29 J Drilling/Completion Operations Operator acknowledges the proximity of the listed wells. Operator assures that this offset list will be remediated per the Offset Well Evaluation and Hydraulic Fracturing Operator Guidance Document (option 4). Operator will submit a Form 42 (“OTHER- AS SPECIFIED BY PERMIT CONDITION”) stating that appropriate mitigation will be completed, during the hydraulic stimulation of this well. This Form 42 shall be filed 48 hours prior to stimulation. Surface and production casing pressures of this offset well list will be actively monitored during stimulation of this well. If there is indication of communication between the stimulation treatment and an offset well, treatment will be stopped and ECMC Engineering notified. 05-123-48105 CARSON #1-6HZ Drilling/Completion Operations Operator will log two (2) additional wells with open-hole resistivity log with gamma-ray log from the kick-off point into the surface casing for the two stratigraphically deepest wells on each side/direction of the pad for a total of three wells logged. 6 COAs Page 7 of 8Date Run: 11/8/2024 Doc [#403983098] Well Name: CLOVER 29-3HZ 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 Alternative Logging Program: One of the first wells drilled on the pad will be logged with open-hole resistivity log and 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 and have those logs attached. The Form 5 for a well without open-hole logs shall state “Alternative Logging Program - 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) User Group Comment Comment Date Approval With Operator concurrence corrected the MD/TVD depths for the BPZ, the setting depth and cement bottom for the first string, and the proposed MD and TVD on the Drilling tab. 11/08/2024 Permit Final Review Completed. 11/07/2024 Permit Permitting review complete 11/07/2024 Permit Operator provided updated WBD - uploaded corrected and deleted incomplete document 11/06/2024 OGLA This Location and its associated Form 2A materials, and the Form 2 Application for Permit to Drill were fully evaluated in accordance with current Rules and approved prior to the commencement of drilling operations for this well.
