LANELL SWANSON CURRENT PLANER RE: USE BY SPECIAL REVIEW PERMIT REQUEST: JOHNSON AMOCO 31-21 WELL (NW/4 NE/4 SEC. 21, T5N, R65W) , AND JOENSON AMOCO 41-21 WELL (NE/4 NE/4 SEC. 21, T5N, R65W) WELD COUNTY, COLORA[X) Gentlemen: Basin Exploration, Inc. is herein submitting a Use by Special Review Permit application for our existing Johnson Amoco 31-21 Well and the future Johnson Amoco 41-21 Well. In that Basin was unaware that such County review is required in the I-1 Industrial Zoning District, the Johnson Amoco 31-21 well has already been drilled and is in production. Accompanying this application is the special review plan map, prepared by McRae and Short, Inc. from Greeley, showing this existing well location and a future well location. The following information is an item-by-item response to the detailed description questions called for as part of the application requirements: Q: Proposed use A: Oil and gas well to be drilled to the Codell/Niobrara Formations with the objective of natural gas and gas condensate production in commercial quantities. Q: Need for use A: Basin has obtained a farmout from Amoco Production Company, entitling us to 100 percent of the mineral lease rights to the N/2 NE/4 Sec. 21 , T5N, R65W. These minerals 1 155 E. Boardwalk Drive,Suite 300 Fort Collins,Colorado 80525 3O3-223-31OO 880998 1�t were leased to Amoco by Eldred M. Johnston, et al. who is also the surface owner. Q: Types of existing uses on surrounding properties A: The property has been and is presently in an active farming use. Similar farming uses surround the property to the east and west. Q: Distance of proposed use to residential structures A: In no direction will the well site or any production equipment be less than 300 feet from any residential structures. The closest residential structure is over 1000 feet from the well site. Q: Maximum number of users, patrons, members, and buyers A: An oil and gas well is not a retail or service center. Q: Number of employees, number of shifts, and hours of operation A: An oil and gas well is not an employment center. Once the well is on production, it will be visited approximately twice a day by a representative of Basin, the Operator of this well. A crew of five has drilled this well which took approximately one week, 24 hours per day with three shifts. Q: Type of water source for the proposed use A: Water was needed only during the drilling phase of the well, approximately one week. This water was brought to the site via water-hauling trucks. Q: Access route(s) to be utilized A: See accompanying plan. map Q: Type, size, weight and frequency of vehicular traffic associated with proposed use. A: Other than twice-a-day pickup traffic once the well is on production, no other vehicular traffic is routinely associated with an oil and gas well. Q: Type of sewage facilities A: No sewage facilities are necessary. Any water requiring disposal will be stored in a concrete, below-ground 2 880998 . Pa I a 0 Ik Al' i as re uired, approximately once 1 facility and hauled off q per month. Q: Proposed fire protection measures reduction equipment A: A sign will be posted on or near the p indicating the name, address and telephone number of the Operator. The Fire Department as well as nearby residents will be given the name, address and telephone number of the Operator. The Fire Department as well as nearby residents will be given the names and telephone on�and who sof four (4) parties associated with the Operator pe n could be called in case of an emergency. Any flaring of the well--and none is expected--will be kept to an absolute minimum. A 2 foot spillage birm will be installed around the production tank itself in a pressurized vessel which eliminates volatile vapors from escaping into the atmosphere. • Q: Maximum number of animals A: No animals are associated with this use. Q: Type and size of any waste, stockpiled r storsite. areas ease only A: During drilling a dumpster will be waste associated with production is water which will be stored in a 100 barrel, concrete, below-groundault tilhich will be emptied as required• Gas condensate l be stored in a 390 barrel, twice compartment, pressurized storage tank. Q: Storm retention facilities A: An oil and gas well will not interfere with historic storm water run-off. Q: Time schedule and method of removal and disposal of debris, junk and other wastes A: Any debris associated with the drilling or completion phases of a well are hauled off after ch phases. The production phase does not generate any debris or Q: Proposed landscaping plans and erosion control measures A: No landscaping is proposed for the perimeter of the tank battery. The surface owner prefers the potential for continued farming use around the battery. Additionally, 3 880998 A iy l24 the establishment and maintenance of a landscaping buffer would be an extremely inconvenient and costly undertaking for the Operator. Any buffering of the tank battery should occur with the future development of the property, and the Operator will cooperate in any manner reasonably possible. After the drilling and completion phase, all pits will be back-filled and compressed, and the natural contour of the property restored as close as possible to its original state. Q: Reclamation procedures to be employed upon cessation of use A: Upon the cessation of commercial oil and gas production, the wellhead will be removed and the well plugged according to State of Colorado standards. All surface equipment would be removed and the site would be restored to as close to its prior condition as possible. Q: Time table showing periods of time required for construction and start-up A: This is not a construction project. The well has been drilled and is on production. Nonetheless, the time periods for the various phases are as follows: 1. Weld County Permitting 60 days 2. Site Preparation and Drilling 10 days 3. Logging, Setting Production Casing and Tubing, Cementing, Preparing for Frac Stimulation 7 days 4. Fracing, Bring Back Well, Connecting to Battery 14 days 5. Installing Tank Battery (concurrent with other completion activities) 3 days In addition to the above question and answer description of the proposed operation, the use by special review procedure requires certain written information and supporting documents. These requirements are addressed below. The Weld County Comprehensive Plan does not address oil and gas exploration in great detail. However, the Plan does note that the most desirable time for the removal of minerals is prior to 4 S80998 ►,1 development (p. 71) . The proposal location is neither developed nor platted. Furthermore, the surface owner expects that farming will be the long-term continued use for the property. The actual location of the drill site is determined for the most part by the Colorado Oil and Gas Commission local well siting and spacing requirements. The tank battery location, including the separator and meter house, are also subject to state and local siting requirements. The Operator does have some latitude in the placement of surface equipment and has attempted to minimize the use of and interference with productive agricultural land. The placement of landscaping around the tank battery would itself utilize productive land. During the drilling, completion, and production phases of the well, provisions are made for the protection of the health, safety and welfare of the inhabitants of the neighborhood and county. The drilling rig is equipped with a blowout preventer. Approximately 350 feet of surface cementing for the production casing is used. A "port collar" is installed to facilitate additional cementing, if necessary. All production casing, tubing, valves and fittings are A.P.I. approved. Gas condensate is stored under pressure to restrict vapor escape. All service companies, including Halliburton Services for frac stimulation and cementing, are proven professionals. All state and local requirements shall be met. Once on production, the well will be compatible with existing, surrounding land uses. Access to the well will not interfere with any existing agricultural or residential uses. The producing well is basically a passive use, with no perceptible noise, and eventually as much a part of the streetscope as any other permanent structure. The production equipment is painted an attractive earth tone to blend with the rural setting. The producing well will be compatible with the future development of the surrounding area as permitted by the existing zone. Neither the existing agricultural use nor any future industrial use need be prevented or materially undermined by the proposed use. The subject property is not located in a geologic hazard or Weld County Airport overlay district. The zoning for the entire N/2 NE/4 Sec. 21, T5N, R65 W is I-1 Industrial, requiring use by special review. 5 880998 i• ►,t ►mil 12§ In that the proposed use does not require a water supply, neither domestic, district or well water is necessary. Attached is a copy of the Drilling Title Opinion for this 80 acre tract, prepared by attorney Harold Gosse, which sets forth the applicant's interest in this property along with the interests of the surface owner and mineral owner. Other than the drilling and frac stimulation phases of the well, there shall be virtually no noise emissions. Soil information is provided on the plan map. The soils provide absolutely no limitation to the proposed use. The list of owners within 500 feet of the subject property is herein provided as part of this application. The names and addresses of all mineral owners and lesees of minerals is contained in the Drilling Title Opinion herein provided. Should you require any additional information or a clarification of any of the written or plan map materials, please contact me directly. We appreciate your cooperation during the processing of this application. Very truly yours, Lester M.
