Sincerely, tax Sydney Smith Director of EHSR Fundare Resources Operating Company LLC Enclosures Attachment A DESCRIPTION OF OPERATIONAL SUMMARY Wildhorse 4-7 Oil and Gas Development Plan Application Weld County, Colorado Wildhorse 07 Pad Sec 7 T9N-R59W Weld County, Colorado The submitted Oil and Gas Development Plan for the Wildhorse 04 Pad encompasses the expansion of one (1) existing Location, consisting of 1 existing well and 12 planned wells in Sec 04 T9N-R59W to be constructed in 4,d Quarter of 2024. Operations at the proposed location begin with the construction of the pad that includes installation and construction of stormwater controls, earthwork operations to salvage topsoil and build the pad, and placement of gravel plating material in areas of high traffic including the access road and operations areas around the wellheads. Once pad construction is complete, a spudder rig will be brought onto location and rigged up to complete the surface hole portion of drilling. The surface holes will be drilled to approximately 1,750 feet using fresh water. Surface casing will then be run and cemented to surface to protect any shallow freshwater zones. 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. Spudder rig drilling operations may run twenty-four (24) hours a day and typically take 1 day per well. The spudder rig will be moved off location and the drilling rig that will drill the wells to total depth will be moved in. Once the well control equipment is installed the drill bit is run into the hole to drill the vertical portion 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 6,000 feet below ground level and the length of the horizontal leg will be approximately 1 mile long. The total Measured Depth (MD) of a typical well in this project is approximately 8,000-15,000 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. The drilling rig is equipped with a closed loop system. The drilling rig will be on location for approximately five days per horizontal well. At the end of the drilling phase, the drilling rig will be moved off location. The completion phase begins when the drilling equipment is transported 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 rig and anchors may be set for the completion rig. Additional operations including cementing, drilling, and logging may occur as circumstances require. For horizontal wells, multiple fracture stages are induced along the length of the wellbore in the respective formation into which the well has been drilled. 5251 DTC Pkwy, Suite 950, Greenwood Village, CO 80111. 720.868.1300 www.fundareresources.com During hydraulic fracturing, water is pumped at high rates and pressures that exceed the minimum in -situ rock stresses and hydraulically fracture the formation. Sand is then pumped into the created fracture to allow gas and oil to flow freely from the formation into the well bore. The fracturing equipment will consist of up to one Modular Large Volume Tank (MLVT) for freshwater storage, multiple flowback tanks, pressure pumps, blending and bulk material trucks with other necessary equipment. After fracturing is completed, the mobile equipment is removed, excluding tanks that are used to retain the water that is produced during flowback and testing operations. No water is allowed to accumulate on, or be disposed, of on the surface. All water is hauled to approved disposal sites or recycled for stimulation use. The flowback tanks will remain on location until the well is rerouted through standard production equipment. The production equipment for the existing well will be separate and includes oil and produced water tanks that will remain in place. The production equipment for the planned wells will be located adjacent to the wells. Typical equipment for the expanded pad will be a tankless facility with bullet vessel, separators, vapor recovery and emission control equipment, gas compressors, meters, flowlines, and proposed electrical and/or solar equipment. The location will include automation equipment that allows Fundare Resources Operating Company, LLC to remotely monitor pressures, rates, temperatures, valve positions and vessel levels. Once the location is in production, Fundare Resources Operating Company, LLC personnel begin daily monitoring to include audible, visual, and olfactory (AVO) inspections of the facility. Any valve, fitting, or piece of equipment that is found to be ineffective is either repaired immediately or well shut-in procedures are implemented. Optical gas imaging surveys monthly and all stormwater controls and vegetation will be inspected on a regular basis. Facility construction may begin prior to or during drilling and completion operations to facilitate simultaneous operations. Simultaneous operations are preferred when feasible as it allows the wells to be turned to production as soon as possible. Once the wells become sub -economic to operate, a plugging rig will remove production 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 will be removed. Surface restoration will involve removal of any above -ground casing and the installation of regulation markers that will not interfere with subsequent surface use. After all production equipment is removed, the surface will be restored to the original grade and reseeded in compliance with ECMC and Local Government Rules and Regulations and in accordance surface owners' future land use plans. The expected travel route for the proposed oil and gas location will be from the north along County Road 11, and east along County Road 110. It is anticipated that 100% of the truck traffic will come from the west on CR 110. 5251 DTC Pkwy, Suite 950, Greenwood Village, CO 80111 • 720.868.1300 www.funda reresou rces.com The traffic associated with the proposed location will depend on the phase of the project. The duration of each phase will ultimately depend on the number of wells drilled. The average daily traffic associated with each phase of development is estimated below.

Operations at the proposed location begin with the construction of the pad that includes installation and construction of stormwater controls, earthwork operations to salvage topsoil and build the pad, and placement of gravel plating material in areas of high traffic including the access road and operations areas around the wellheads. Once pad construction is complete, a spudder rig will be brought onto location and rigged up to complete the surface hole portion of drilling. The surface holes will be drilled to approximately 1,750 feet using fresh water. Surface casing will then be run and cemented to surface to protect any shallow freshwater zones. 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. Spudder rig drilling operations may run twenty-four (24) hours a day and typically take 1 day per well. The spudder rig will be moved off location and the drilling rig that will drill the wells to total depth will be moved in. Once the well control equipment is installed the drill bit is run into the hole to drill the vertical portion 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 6,000 feet below ground level and the length of the horizontal leg will be approximately 1 mile long. The total Measured Depth (MD) of a typical well in this project is approximately 8,000-15,000 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. The drilling rig is equipped with a closed loop system. The drilling rig will be on location for approximately five days per horizontal well. At the end of the drilling phase, the drilling rig will be moved off location. The completion phase begins when the drilling equipment is transported 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 rig and anchors may be set for the completion rig. Additional operations including cementing, drilling, and logging may occur as circumstances require. For horizontal wells, multiple fracture stages are induced along the length of the wellbore in the respective formation into which the well has been drilled. 5251 DTC Pkwy, Suite 950, Greenwood Village, CO 80111 • 720.868.1300 www.fundareresources.com During hydraulic fracturing, water is pumped at high rates and pressures that exceed the minimum in -situ rock stresses and hydraulically fracture the formation. Sand is then pumped into the created fracture to allow gas and oil to flow freely from the formation into the well bore. The fracturing equipment will consist of up to one Modular Large Volume Tank (MLVT) for freshwater storage, multiple flowback tanks, pressure pumps, blending and bulk material trucks with other necessary equipment. After fracturing is completed, the mobile equipment is removed, excluding tanks that are used to retain the water that is produced during flowback and testing operations. No water is allowed to accumulate on, or be disposed, of on the surface. All water is hauled to approved disposal sites or recycled for stimulation use. The flowback tanks will remain on location until the well is rerouted through standard production equipment. The production equipment for these wells will be located adjacent to the wells. Typical equipment fora pad consists of Tankless facility with bullet vessel, separators, vapor recovery and emission control equipment, gas compressors, meters, flowlines, and proposed electrical and/or solar equipment. The location will include automation equipment that allows Fundare Resources Operating Company, LLC to remotely monitor pressures, rates, temperatures, valve positions and vessel levels. Once the location is in production, Fundare Resources Operating Company, LLC personnel begin daily monitoring to include audible, visual, and olfactory (AVO) inspections of the facility. Any valve, fitting, or piece of equipment that is found to be ineffective is either repaired immediately or well shut-in procedures are implemented. Optical gas imaging surveys monthly and all stormwater controls and vegetation will be inspected on a regular basis. Facility construction may begin prior to or during drilling and completion operations to facilitate simultaneous operations. Simultaneous operations are preferred when feasible as it allows the wells to be turned to production as soon as possible. Once the wells become sub -economic to operate, a plugging rig will remove production 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 will be removed. Surface restoration will involve removal of any above -ground casing and the installation of regulation markers that will not interfere with subsequent surface use. After all production equipment is removed, the surface will be restored to the original grade and reseeded in compliance with ECMC and Local Government Rules and Regulations and in accordance surface owners' future land use plans. The expected travel route for the proposed oil and gas location will be from the intersection of CR 119 and CR 110, west on CR 110 for 4 miles, and south on the oil and gas access road to the location. It is anticipated that 50% of the truck traffic will come from the east on CR 110 and that 50% of the truck traffic will come from the west on CR 110. 5251 DTC Pkwy, Suite 950, Greenwood Village, CO 80111 • 720.868.1300 www.fundareresources.com The traffic associated with the proposed location will depend on the phase of the project.

Oil and gas operating companies ("Operators") are required to obtain approval of an Oil and Gas Development Plan ("OGDP") from the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission ("COGCC") prior to undertaking any new operations such as drilling oil and gas wells or building oil and gas locations. When an Operator submits an OGDP application to the COGCC for consideration, and the application has been received and is deemed complete, COGCC staff begins a formal technical review of the application materials, and a public comment period starts. COGCC has prepared this information sheet to inform the public of the procedural steps involved with the Director's and Commission's review of an OGDP, so that the public is informed and may participate in the review process if they choose. As part of the process, Operators must provide this information sheet to certain recipients, like yourself, that include mineral owners within the area of proposed development and all landowners, homeowners, commercial property owners, tenants, and other entities within 2,000 feet of an oil and gas location proposed by a pending OGDP application. What is an Oil and Gas Development Plan (OGDP)? An OGDP is an Operator's plan to develop oil or gas resources ("minerals") from one or more surface locations. Operators prepare an OGDP and associated application materials, consistent with the requirements of COGCC Rule 303, and submit the plan for approval through the Commission's Hearings process. The application materials include a hearing application; one or more Form 2A, Oil and Gas Location Assessments; a Form 2B, Cumulative Impacts Data Identification; and a Form 2C, OGDP Certification. The application may also include a request for the establishment of one or more Drilling and Spacing Units ("DSUs"). The OGDP, along with its associated supporting documents, will be heard at a public hearing where the Commission will make a final determination to approve or deny the OGDP application. What are the procedural steps involved with the Director's and Commission's review of Oil and Gas Development Plans? 1. OGDP application is submitted: Operator/ Applicant submits a complete OGDP application with all supporting documents. The written portion of the application is submitted to the COGCC hearings unit via the eFilings system, and Forms 2A, 2B, and 2C are submitted to technical staff via the eForms system. (See Rules 303 a 304) 2. OGDP application is received: The COGCC hearings unit reviews the written hearing application, assigns a docket number for the OGDP, and provides public notice for the hearing. (See Rules 303 a 504) 3. Completeness determination: The COGCC technical staff and Director review the application materials for completeness. When deemed complete: a. the OGDP application materials are posted on COGCC's website; b. the Operator provides notice (including this information sheet) to relevant persons; c. the public comment period begins; d. the formal consultation period commences as applicable (including relevant/ proximate local governments and other agencies such as Colorado Parks and Wildlife ("CPW") or Colorado Department Page 2 of Public Health and Environment ("CDPHE")); and e. COGCC staff begin their technical review of the OGDP components. (See Rule 303). 4. Director's review of application (technical review): COGCC technical staff conducts the technical review of all application materials to ensure compliance with COGCC Rules, ensure the protection of public health, safety, welfare, the environment, and wildlife resources, and to evaluate potential Cumulative Impacts. The technical review includes analysis and assessment of: a. DSUs and protection of mineral owner's correlative rights; b. proposed surface locations and alternative locations; c. downhole and engineering considerations; d. best management practices; e. public comments and recommendations provided by consulting agencies; financial assurance; and the need for conditions of approval. (See Rule 306) 5. Director's recommendation: Once the Director has reviewed the application materials, the Director provides a written recommendation to the Commission in support of the approval or denial of the OGDP application. The Director will post the recommendation on COGCC's website, notify relevant parties', and submit it to the COGCC hearings unit in preparation for hearing. (See Rule 306.c) 6. Commission's consideration and final action (public hearing): The Commission receives the f. g. Parties who receive this information sheet will not necessarily be included in the notice of the Director's recommendation. Parties who make a public comment on the Form 2A and include their email address will receive the notice of the Director's recommendation. Director's recommendation of the OGDP and begins review of the OGDP with support from the COGCC hearings unit. The review includes all supporting documents, written testimony, public comments, consulting agency recom- mendations, and Director's recommendation. The Commission considers the OGDP at a public hearing, which may include oral testimony provided during the hearing. The Commission makes a final determination and presents its findings in a written order based on the evidence in the record; the Commission's order to approve or deny the OGDP application is final. (See Rule 307) Where can I get additional information? For more information about the COGCC administrative hearing process and OGDPs, please refer to the COGCC website at http://cogcc.state.co.us. You may also contact the COGCC at dnr.ogcc®state.co.us or 303-894-2100. Please note, COGCC staff are not available to provide legal advice. COGCC recommends that you engage an attorney with knowledge of oil and gas matters to assist you with reviewing any offers you receive from an oil and gas operator or other person. Version 1.0 March 9, 2021 I I COLORADO Oil €t Gas Conservation Commission Department of Mtural Resources COGCC INFORMATION SHEET: PUBLIC COMMENTS (As required by COGCC Rule 303.e. (2)D) Purpose This information sheet provides details on how to make public comments on an Oil and Gas Development Plan submitted to the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission via the Form 2A, Oil and Gas Location Assessment permit application. Why am I receiving this Information Sheet? You have received this Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission ("COGCC") information sheet because an oil and gas operator ("the Operator") has submitted an application for an Oil and Gas Development Plan ("OGDP"), and that application is under review by the COGCC. Per COGCC Rule 303.e.(1), the Operator is required to provide this information to you within seven days of the application materials being posted on the COGCC website. COGCC Rule 303.d requires the COGCC to open a formal "public comment period" upon posting the OGDP application to our website. This public comment period allows the public to review OGDP applications and their components (i.e., proposed Oil and Gas Locations), and provide comments on those pending permit applications. How can I provide comments on pending permits in an OGDP? Members of the public can access OGDP applications through the COGCC website to review permit information and provide comments. Public comments may be made directly on Form 2A, Oil and Gas Location Assessment permit applications ("Form 2A") through the COGCC website. 1. Go to the COGCC website https://cogcc.state.co.us 2.

What happens to my comment? Your comment will become part of the public record of the application and will be reviewed by the applicant, COGCC staff, Director, and the Commission. COGCC staff may recommend permit conditions in response to comments. But, Staff does not routinely respond individually to comments; instead, COGCC staff will work directly with the applicant to address the site -specific concerns expressed. Submitted comments may not be immediately visible; it may be a few days before you see your comments posted. This delay allows COGCC supervisory staff to screen for offensive language prior to publication. What if I want to make my comment to the Commission? COGCC Staff and the Director review every comment received on a Form 2A permit application. They review the site specific concerns against the totality of the application materials, including the alternative location analysis, cumulative impacts evaluation, and best management practices proposed by the applicant. When the Director makes a recommendation to the Commission to either approve or deny an OGDP, that recommendation will include the consideration of the public comments received. In their review of an OGDP for a final determination at the administrative hearing, the Commission wilt have access to the entire record, including your public comment. Can I remain anonymous? Yes. Only the "Comment" portion of your submitted comment will be made publicly viewable. Your name and contact information will be kept confidential, and will only be used by COGCC staff to contact you if necessary in the course of permit application review. If you choose to include your name and contact information in the body of your comment text, it will be part of the public record.

The Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission ("COGCC") prepared this information sheet to provide the public with information related to hydraulic fracturing. Pursuant to Commission Rule 303.e.(2).E, Operators' are required to provide this information sheet to mineral owners within the area of proposed development and all landowners, homeowners, commercial property owners, tenants, and other entities within 2,000 feet of a proposed oil and gas location. What is hydraulic fracturing treatment, and why is it necessary? Hydraulic fracturing treatment is the process of creating small cracks, or "fractures," in the rocks of deep, underground geological formations that have oil and natural gas. The fractures enhance the flow of oil and gas from the formation to the oil and gas well where it flows or is pumped up the well to the production equipment located on the surface of the site. The process of hydraulic fracturing has been used for decades in Colorado, dating back to the 1970s. Operators' continue to improve hydraulic fracturing, and it is now a standard practice used in almost all oil and gas wells in the state, and across much of the country. Hydraulic fracturing has made it possible to produce oil and gas from rock formations that did not often produce oil and gas in the early to middle part of the twentieth century. What happens before hydraulic fracturing treatment? The operator uses a drilling rig to drill a "surface hole" and set a steel pipe called "surface casing" in the hole. The surface casing may extend many hundreds of feet, sometimes more than 1,000 "Operator" as defined in COGCC Rules 'Hereinafter, and only for the purpose of describing the hydraulic fracture treatment process, the term "operator" includes the operator itself and all contractors and service providers that the operator hires to perform work. feet, underground. The operator places cement on the outside of the surface casing to seal and protect groundwater. The operator tests the surface casing with pressure, then a smaller "production hole" is drilled out the bottom of the surface casing. After completing a formation integrity test, the operator drills down to the geological formation containing oil and gas, usually many thousands of feet underground. The operator lowers a production casing into the production hole, and cement is used to make a seat above the deep oil and gas formation. The operator "completes" the well by placing holes, or "perforations" in the casing at the deep oil and gas formation, to allow oil and gas to flow into the well. The well is then ready for hydraulic fracturing treatment. What happens during and after hydraulic fracturing treatment? The operator performs the treatment by using high pressure water pumps to fracture the deep oil and gas rock formation. The pumps push fracturing fluids down the well and out through the perforations, into the oil and gas rock formation. The hydraulic fracturing fluids are mostly water and sand, with a small amount of chemical additives. The sand, also called "proppant," remains in the fractures to help keep the fractures open allowing oil and gas to flow through the fractures to the perforations. After hydraulic fracture treatment, the welt is allowed to "flowback," meaning hydraulic fracture fluids, oil, gas, and produced water from the formation flow through the perforations and up the well to the surface where the fluids are separated. The operator sells the oil and gas. Waste products, mostly water produced from the oil and gas formation and hydraulic fracture fluids, are captured and stored for proper treatment or disposal. Page 2 Overhead view of a multiple -well site with hydraulic fracturing equipment set up inside a sound wall Common questions and answers about hydraulic fracturing treatment. Q: How is an oil and gas well designed to be protective of public health, the environment, and wildlife resources? A: COGCC engineering staff review all well permits to ensure that wells are lined with multiple layers of steel and cement sufficient to isolate groundwater from the deep oil and gas rock formations. The operator's wellbore design must meet COGCC wellbore isolation standards and rules in order to receive a permit to drill. Surface casing extends from the ground surface to 50 feet or more below groundwater. Production casing is cemented to seal the oil and gas formation in the well and prevent flow between groundwater and the oil and gas formations. The operator performs a well survey, called a "cement bond log," to verify the cement placement around the production casing. Additionally, the operator pressure tests surface equipment and ensures that nearby, "offset" wells that are close enough for pressure communication in the oil and gas formation have properly -rated surface equipment or downhole plugs. Q: Will hydraulic fracturing treatment cause problems with water wells A: Water well problems related to hydraulic fracturing in Colorado are rare, which is largely a result of COGCC's long-standing mission to protect Waters of the State of Colorado, including groundwater. Most recently, the COGCC adopted new rules for wellbore isolation, effective November 2, 2020 to further strengthen this mandate. Geologic factors in Colorado also serve to help prevent groundwater impacts. Often, many thousands of feet of confining rock layers separate shallow groundwater formations that are used for drinking water, livestock, and irrigation from deep oil and gas formations. In cases where an operator intends to perform a hydraulic fracture treatment at a depth of less than 2,000 feet underground, a geological and engineering evaluation is required prior to approving a drilling permit. In cases where deep groundwater is present, COGCC rules require additional cement in oil and gas wells to seat the deep groundwater formations. Q: What is hydraulic fracture fluid? A: The COGCC and regulatory agencies of other oil and gas producing states partner with FracFocus, a Chemical Disclosure Registry, that operators use to report hydraulic fracture fluid chemical data (https://www.fracfocus.org/). According to FracFocus, approximately 98% to 99% of the fracturing fluid volume in most welts is water and sand. The remaining portion is made up of chemical additives used to reduce friction during pumping and prevent corrosion of the steel casing. Biocide is used to kilt bacteria in the water. Surfactants promote water flowback from the formation, up the well and into the oil and gas production equipment at the well site or a nearby "tank battery." Fracturing chemicals are similar to other industrial chemicals which must be handled property. COGCC rules require that operators properly store and handle chemicals in a manner that protects operator's employees, the public, the environment, and wildlife. COGCC rules require operators to publicly disclose the components and concentrations of fracturing chemicals for each well within 60 days of the hydraulic fracture treatment on the FracFocus website, which is searchable by county, operator, and well. The website also provides information on chemicals used and their purpose. Version 2.1 April 2, 2021 Page 3 Q: How are hydraulic fracturing fluids managed on the well site? A: Operators manage large volumes of drilling fluid, hydraulic fracturing fluid, and flowback during drilling and hydraulic fracturing treatment. Operators protect the public, environmental resources, and wildlife by implementing best management practices specified by permit conditions and COGCC rules for spill prevention. After hydraulic fracturing treatment, fluids return to production equipment at the well site as flowback. These flowback fluids are considered oil and gas Exploration and Production Waste ("EftP Waste") that are recycled for other oil and gas operations, or are disposed of in accordance with state regulations. Marketable production fluids, including oil and gas, are separated and contained in tanks or vessels, or sent by pipeline to sales. Q: What can neighbors expect to experience during hydraulic fracturing treatment? A: The operator provides the COGCC and the local government a 48 -hour notice before performing hydraulic fracturing treatment. As the operator mobilizes the hydraulic fracturing crews, water tanks are placed at the site. The operator transports water to the site for hydraulic fracturing fluid by pipeline or water trucks. 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.
