Re: Township 2 North, Range 67 West
Section 18: part of the SE/4
Weld County, Colorado
Dear Ms. Rice:
The purpose of this letter is to respond to your letter of September 23, 2002. As
you know, Kerr-McGee Rocky Mountain Corporation formerly known as HS Resources,
Inc. and its subsidiary, Kerr-McGee Gathering, LLC (collectively referred to as "Kerr-
McGee") owns certain oil and gas leasehold interests and pipeline easement rights in the
above captioned lands (the "Property"). Kerr-McGee does not agree with the tone and
content of your letter. All of Kerr-McGee's activities have been conducted pursuant to
the terms of valid oil, gas and mineral leases.
When you purchased your surface estate interest, most. if not all, of Kerr-
McGee's production facilities were present. As I am sure you are aware, you purchased
your surface interest free of all mineral interests, and with knowledge that your surface
interests would need to coexist with the mineral interests. For you to challenge our legal
rights to operate our wells at this time is without merit.
In spite of our legal rights, Kerr-McGee's desire is to be both responsive and
cooperative, and to consider creative solutions that are acceptable to all parties involved
concerning the Property. To do this we must maintain an open and active line of
communication, a process that is not served by adversarial letters challenging our legal
rights.

As of the date of this letter, a fence with a locked gate has been installed along
your north property line. This action should address your concerns about non-authorized
vehicle traffic on the Property. You must know, that it may not be possible to address all
of your concerns; however, Kerr-McGee is willing to discuss your concerns and attempt
to work towards solutions agreeable to all parties.
If you have any questions, or wish to continue discussions, please contact either
myself or Don French at (303) 296-3600.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Very truly yours,
KERR-McGEE ROC Y MOUNTAIN CORPORATION
