After reviewing the Drilling and Division Order Title Opinion, dated December 30, 2008, and revised on April 10, 2009, which encompasses the subject well, covering Township 5 North, Range 65 West, 6th Principal Meridian, Section 1: W2SW and Section 2: E2SE, Weld County, CO, it was determined that the acreage for Tract 4 of in the E2SE of Section 2 is 7.11 acres. Attached please find pertinent information relating to your royalty interest from this Drilling and Division Order Title Opinion. While the Weld County Oil and Gas Lease (Small Tract), dated September 22, 2008, recorded in Weld County, CO (Reception No. 3583882) indicates that the acreage amount is 6.106, this information is inconclusive. The legal description in your lease relies on an Executor's Deed, dated January 15, 1975, recorded in Weld County, CO (Reception No. 1653750) and a metes and bounds measurement of Colorado State Highway #263 and the north right of way line of the Ogilvy ditch. A possible explanation for the acreage discrepancy can be attributed to soil erosion along the Ogilvy ditch since the Executor's Deed was prepared in 1975. Otherwise, Noble Energy's Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Department indicated that the only definitive way to address your concern for this acreage discrepancy would be for you to resurvey the subject areas, because a conclusive acreage amount cannot be determined based on the existing legal description from your lease and supporting legal instruments. As such, Noble Energy is relying on the Drilling and Division Order Title Opinion, dated December 30, 2008, and revised on April 10, 2009. Should you have any questions regarding this response, please let me know. Sincerely, Nadia B. Ahmad Associate Division Order Analyst Enclosures Hello
