Well Pad Operations Operations are expected to begin by commencing construction of the site by leveling the ground surface to accommodate the drilling rig. Once the pad is completed, drilling rig equipment will be brought onto location.Drilling operations,which run twenty-four(24)hours a day until completed,will commence after the drilling rig is brought on location and prepared for drilling("rigged up").The surface holes will be drilled to approximately 1,950 feet using fresh water in place of other types of drilling fluids.Surface and production casing will then be run and cemented to surface to protect any shallow freshwater zones.A minimum surface casing setting depth is determined from subsurface ground water maps prepared by the State Engineer and supplemented by the latest data available from offsetting wells. The cement is allowed to set,and well control equipment is installed and tested.After waiting on cement and installing well control equipment, a drill bit is run into the hole to drill the vertical and horizontal portions of the well into the potential oil and gas bearing formations.The wells will be drilled horizontally. The wells will be turned or steered such that a curve will be drilled to approximately 90 degrees or parallel to the surface of the ground.The typical vertical depth for the wells is approximately 6,800-7,200 feet below ground level and the length of the horizontal leg will be vary between approximately 1.5 to 3.5 miles long.The total Measured Depth(MD)of the wells in this project is approximately 15,100 to 17,600 feet. Once the horizontal section of the wellbore is drilled, a string of production casing will be run into the wellbore.This casing will be cemented into place to isolate the productive zones of the reservoir. Drilling rigs are equipped with a closed loop system.The drilling rig will be on location for approximately 5 days per horizontal well.At the end of the drilling phase,the drilling rig will be rigged down and moved off location. The completion phase begins after the drilling rig and associated equipment is moved off the location. Completion operations are conducted twenty-four (24) hours per day intermittently over a period of several weeks. The site may be bladed and leveled to accommodate the completion equipment. Additional operations including cementing,drilling,and logging may occur as circumstances require.For 1 Effective July 1,2023,the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission(COGCC)is named the Energy and Carbon Management Commission(ECMC). horizontal wells, multiple hydraulically fractured stages are induced along the length of the wellbore in the respective formation into which the well has been drilled. During hydraulic fracturing,water is pumped at rates and pressures that exceed the minimum in-situ rock stresses which induces a fracture of the formation.Sand is placed into the fractures to allow hydrocarbons to flow freely from the formation into the well bore.The fracturing equipment will consist of tanks and water lines for fresh water, pressure pumps, blending and bulk material trucks with other necessary equipment.After fracturing is completed,the mobile equipment is removed,and all flowback(the process of fluids and gas flowing from the well during the first stages of production) will be transported via underground pipelines to be processed at the off-site production facility. No water is allowed to accumulate or be disposed of on surface. Noble will utilize the proposed new Maximus State G04-11 Multi'as a facility to receive production from the existing expanded Bodacious State F33-10 Pad(Location ID 310513). All fluids(water and oil)and gas produced from these wells will be transported to the production facility via underground pipelines. Therefore,no heavy truck traffic to and from the well pad will occur during production. There also will be very limited equipment on the well pad during production, such as wellheads, meter buildings, and pipeline risers. After all the wells on the location begin producing,areas of the original disturbance that are not needed for long-term operations will be reclaimed. A designated representative will monitor the location on a regularly scheduled basis.These inspections are done as a routine part of the regular responsibilities of the production operations team. The designated representative will conduct a visual inspection of the facility which includes all valves,fittings,wellhead,vapor control systems and all connections. In addition,the designated representative will inspect the site for hazards and weed control and confirm that the appearance of the Pads is being maintained. At the time when plugging and abandonment of the well is appropriate, a workover rig will remove downhole tools and equipment from the wellbores and plug the productive zones with a combination of bridge plugs and cement plugs.Surface equipment no longer needed for other wells on the pad will be removed. Surface restoration involves removal of any above-ground casing and the installation of regulation markers that will not interfere with subsequent surface use. After all equipment is removed, the surface will be restored to the original grade with reseeding in compliance with ECMC Rules and applicable law and in accordance with the surface owners'future land use plans.

Heavy equipment, such as sand haulers, pump trucks, blending units and a control van arrives and the equipment is connected to the well with high pressure piping. The operator pressure tests the equipment, then the hydraulic fracture treatment begins. The work can take several days to several weeks, depending on the number of wells on the well site and the number of treatment stages needed for each well. The equipment noise from engines, pumps, and vehicles will be noticeable during the work. Induced seismicity from hydraulic fracturing is very low intensity, too small to be noticed by people at the ground surface, and therefore man-made earthquakes are not a common occurrence in Colorado during hydraulic fracturing treatment operations.

(Operator No. 100322)("Noble"or"Applicant"),by and through its attorneys, Jost Energy Law, P.C., and respectfully submits this Application to the Energy and Carbon Management Commission of the State of Colorado (the "Commission" or "ECMC") for an order to establish an approximate 2,400-acre drilling and spacing unit for the below-described lands and approve 18 new horizontal wells to be developed from one new Oil and Gas Location within the proposed unit for the production of oil, gas and associated hydrocarbons from the Niobrara, Fort Hays, Codell and Carlile Formations within an approximate 4,640-acre Oil and Gas Development Plan (the"Brahman OGDP")filed by Applicant concurrently herewith. In support of its Application,Applicant states and alleges as follows: 1. Applicant is a corporation duly organized and authorized to conduct business in the State of Colorado and is a registered operator in good standing with the Commission. 2. Applicant is an"Owner"as defined by the Oil and Gas Conservation Act and ECMC Rules, and owns leasehold interests or holds the right to operate on the following lands(hereafter "Application Lands"): Mineral Development—"Bodacious State DSU": Township 5 North, Range 65 West. 6th P.M.

Nearby Public Crossroads: WCR 50&WCR 43 A reference map of the Application Lands is attached hereto. 3. With this Application, Applicant is providing a copy of an Oil and Gas Lease for at least one portion of a mineral tract within the Application Lands showing the Applicant's status as an Owner in accordance with ECMC Rule 303.a.(1). See Exhibit B, submitted with the Brahman OGDP Application. 4. Rule 401.a.provides that a Well completion 2,500 feet or greater below the surface will be located not less than 600 feet from any lease line and not less than 1,200 feet from any other existing or permitted Well completion in the same common source of supply, unless authorized by order of the Commission or an exception under Rule 401.c is obtained. 5. On April 27, 1998, the Commission adopted Rule 318A, the Greater Wattenberg Area Special Well Location, Spacing and Unit Designation Rule. The Application Lands are subject to this Rule for the Niobrara and Codell Formations. Effective January 15, 2021, Commission Rule 318A was moved to Rule 402 and modified to have no effect on future operations and development in the Greater Wattenberg Area. However, Rule 402.c states that any wellbore spacing units established prior to January 15, 2021 will remain in effect unless the applicable Form 2s, if any, expire without spud. 6. On February 19, 1992(amended August 20, 1993),the Commission entered Order No.407-87,which established 80-acre drilling and spacing units for the production of oil,gas and associated hydrocarbons from the Codell and Niobrara Formations, with the permitted well locations in accordance with the provisions of Order No.407-1.The Application Lands are subject to Order No.407-87 for the Niobrara and Codell Formations. 7.

A minimum surface casing setting depth is determined from subsurface ground water maps prepared by the State Engineer and supplemented by the latest data available from offsetting wells. Drilling Phase The cement is allowed to set, and well control equipment is installed and tested. After waiting on cement and installing well control equipment,a drill bit is run into the hole to drill the vertical and horizontal portions of the well into the potential oil and gas bearing formations.The wells will be drilled horizontally.The wells will be turned or steered such that a curve will be drilled to approximately 90 degrees or parallel to the surface of the ground.The typical vertical depth for the wells is approximately 6,800-7,200 feet below ground level and the length of the horizontal leg will be vary between approximately 1 to 3 miles long.The total Measured Depth(MD)of the wells in this project is approximately 12,300 to 24,000 feet. Once the horizontal section of the wellbore is drilled,a string of production casing will be run into the wellbore.This casing will be cemented into place to isolate the productive zones of the reservoir. Drilling rigs are equipped with a closed loop system.The drilling rig will be on location for approximately 5 days per horizontal well.At the end of the drilling phase,the drilling rig will be rigged down and moved off location. Completion Phase The completion phase begins after the drilling rig and associated equipment is moved off the location.Completion operations are conducted twenty-four(24)hours per day intermittently over a period of several weeks.The site may be bladed and leveled to accommodate the completion equipment.Additional operations including cementing, drilling,and logging may occur as circumstances require.For horizontal wells,multiple hydraulically fractured stages are induced along the length of the wellbore in the respective formation into which the well has been drilled. During hydraulic fracturing,water is pumped at rates and pressures that exceed the minimum in-situ rock stresses which induces a fracture of the formation.Sand is placed into the fractures to allow hydrocarbons to flow freely from the formation into the well bore.The fracturing equipment will consist of tanks and water lines for fresh water, pressure pumps,blending and bulk material trucks with other necessary equipment. Production Phase After fracturing is completed,the mobile equipment Is removed, and all flowback(the process of fluids and gas flowing from the well during the first stages of production)will be transported via underground pipelines to be processed at the off-site production facility.No water is allowed to accumulate or be disposed of on surface. Production from the proposed wells will be processed at a centralized production facility.All fluids(water and oil) and gas produced from the wells will be transported to the production facility via underground pipelines.Therefore, no heavy truck traffic to and from the well pads will occur during production. There also will be very limited equipment on the well pads during production,such as wellheads,meter buildings,and pipeline risers. Interim Reclamation After all the wells on each pad begin producing,areas of the original disturbance that are not needed for long-term operations will be reclaimed.A designated representative will monitor the location on a regularly scheduled basis. Rockies Business Unit Noble Enertty,Inc 21151176Ave,Gladey,C080634 Mobile 970.803.2130 Dawn.tnn8@chevron,com OGDP Nome:Brahman OGDP These inspections are done as a routine part of the regular responsibilities of the production operations team.The designated representative will conduct a visual inspection of the facility which includes all valves,fittings,.wellhead, vapor control systems and all connections. In addition,the designated representative will inspect the site for hazards and weed control and confirm that the appearance of the Pads is being maintained. Final Reclamation At the time when plugging and abandonment of the wells is appropriate,a workover rig will remove downhole tools and equipment from the wellbores and plug the productive zones with a combination of bridge plugs and cement plugs.Surface equipment no longer needed for other wells on the pad will be removed.Surface restoration involves removal of any above-ground casing and the installation of regulation markers that will not interfere with subsequent surface use. After all equipment is removed,the surface will be restored to the original grade with reseeding in compliance with ECMC Rules and applicable law and in accordance with the surface owners'future land use plans.

Heavy equipment, such as sand haulers, pump trucks, blending units and a control van arrives and the equipment is connected to the well with high pressure piping. The operator pressure tests the equipment, then the hydraulic fracture treatment begins. The work can take several days to several weeks, depending on the number of wells on the well site and the number of treatment stages needed for each well. The equipment noise from engines, pumps, and vehicles will be noticeable during the work. Induced seismicity from hydraulic fracturing is very low intensity, too small to be noticed by people at the ground surface, and therefore man-made earthquakes are not a common occurrence in Colorado during hydraulic fracturing treatment operations.
