DESCRIPTION OF EACH OPERATIONAL PHASE AND WHAT TO EXPECT
Construction Phase —Typical earthmoving equipment prepares the wellpad and production facility pad
locations. Topsoil is stored for interim reclamation. Sound walls will be installed at each location after well
pad and production facility pad is constructed. PDC anticipates the construction phase to take
approximately 60-145 days for these locations.
Drilling Phase — The drilling rig is moved on the wellpad and will be on location for approximately 70-165
days, depending on well count and lateral length. The actual drilling time is approximately 5 days per well,
dependent on lateral length. The wells are drilled to a vertical depth of approximately 6,500 - 7,800 feet.
The horizontal portion of the wellbores are planned to extend up to 4.0 miles.
Production Facility Construction — Production Facilities are constructed adjacent to the wells to collect
and separate out the oil, natural gas and water that is produced. This phase runs concurrently with drilling
and completion operations.
Completion Phase —Trucks equipped with hydraulic pumps send water and sand down the well to fracture
the rock so that oil and gas can be liberated. This phase takes approximately 70-165 days, depending on
well count.
Flowback Phase - The flowback phase entails cleaning any plugs and sand that were pumped in the well
during the completions phase. Flowback from the wells will be piped directly to the production facility.
Interim Reclamation — Upon completion of all development phases, the location is reclaimed around the
drill pad and completion operations area using typical earthmoving equipment. This phase takes
approximately 60 days.
Production Phase — It is anticipated that a horizontal well will produce for approximately 25-30 years.
During the initial 6-9 months after completions activity, the production facility is manned 24 x 7 with
trained employees who focus on the safe and compliant operation of the facility. A temporary light plant
is utilized at night for the first 6-9 months while the facility is manned 24 x 7. Once 24 x 7 facility coverage
is no longer required, PDC utilizes several technologies to assist with facility oversight and remote
monitoring through the integrated Operations Center {staffed 24 x 7) utilizing security cameras and
remote emergency shut down controls to manage the facility when the pumper is not on location.
Final Reclamation - After a well has been plugged and reclaimed PDC moves to the final reclamation
phase. Final reclamation is the process of returning or restoring the surface of disturbed land as nearly as
practicable to its condition prior to the commencement of oil and gas operations or to landowner
specifications with an approved variance under state rules. All equipment road base/gravel is removed
and as applicable, compaction alleviation, restoration, and revegetation of well sites, associated
production facilities, and access roads shall be performed. PDC is responsible for weed maintenance and
erosion control until the location passes a ECMC inspection. This can take at least two years in crop
locations as the area has to prove to have two successful growing seasons.

Formations.
13. Also on May 26, 2021, the Commission entered Order No. 407-3211 which, among
other things, pooled all interests in two approximate 878 -acre designated horizontal wellbore
spacing units established for portions of the Application Lands and subjected all nonconsenting
interests to the cost recovery provisions of §34-60-116(7), C.R.S., for the drilling of the Sanford
01C Well (API No. 05-123-49921) and the Sanford 02N Well (API No. 05-123- 49932) for the
development and operation of the Niobrara and Codell Formations.
14. On December 8, 2022, the Commission entered Order No. 407-3416 which,
among other things, approved an approximate 33,427 -acre Rule 314 Comprehensive Area Plan
covering portions of the Application Lands for the development and operation of the Niobrara,
Fort Hays, Codell, and Carlile Formations (the "Guanella CAP"), and granted preliminary siting
approval for the Sanford State Location.
15. On June 12, 2024, the Commission entered Order No. 407-3622 which, among
other things, approved an approximate 4,255.9 -acre Oil and Gas Development Plan comprised
of one approximate 15.9 -acre Oil and Gas Location, one approximate 12.1 -acre Oil and Gas
Location, and one approximate 21.5 -acre Oil and Gas Location, for the drilling of 40 new
horizontal wells to be developed from three multi -well pads for the development and operation of
the Niobrara, Fort Hays, Codell, and Carlile Formations (the "Raton OGDP"). The Raton OGDP
overlaps the Application Lands in the PAEY.E'/2E'/2 of Section 26, Township 5 North, Range 66
West, 6th P.M. but will not be affected by the relief requested in this Application.
16. Also on June 12, 2024, the Commission entered Order No. 407-3624 which,
among other things, established an approximate 360 -acre Welibore Spacing Unit (the "Capitol
WSU") for portions of the Application Lands for the development and operation of one horizontal
well in the Niobrara, Fort Hays, Codell, and Carlile Formations, and approved 300 -foot productive
interval setbacks from the eastem and western boundaries of the unit, 200 -foot productive interval

setbacks from the northern and southern boundaries of the unit, and provided that the horizontal
well shall be no closer than 150 feet from the productive interval of any well located in the same
common source of supply within the unit, unless authorized by Rule 401.c or Rule 408.u.(1) as
applicable. The Capitol WSU overlaps the Application Lands in the EAPAEY2E'/z of Section 26,
Township 5 North, Range 66 West, 6t' P.M. but will not be affected by the relief requested in this
Application.
17. Prior to the date of this Application, the Commission entered various Orders
pooling all interested in designated horizontal wellbore spacing units overlapping a portion of the
Application Lands for the development of the Niobrara and CodeII Formations. These Orders are
wellbore specific and do not affect the relief requested in this Application.
18. The records of the Commission reflect that the following 26 horizontal Wells are
producing (PR) or shut in (SI) in the Niobrara or Codel! Formations within portions of the

19. While the existing Sanford 21-29 Pad (Location ID 329853) is located within the
Application Lands, no new production will be going to the existing Sanford 21-29 Pad from the
Trout Creek OGDP and the Sanford 21-29 Pad is not being expanded as part of the Trout Creek
OGDP, and therefore the Sanford 21-29 Pad and associated 26 Wells are excluded from the
Trout Creek OGDP. Applicant requests that the above -described Wells continue to allocate
production proceeds, if any, pursuant to Order Nos. 407-1954, 407-2113, 407-2830, 407-3210

314.b.(5) within the approved Guaneila CAP, Order No. 407-3416.
26. PDC anticipates that it will submit an application to pool all interests, including any
non -consent interests, within the Application Lands at a future date. PDC currently owns over
45% leasehold interest in the Application Lands, and therefore PDC may pool the proposed Wells
in the Application Lands pursuant to the requirements of C.R.S. § 34-60-116(6)(b)(1), subject to
the requirement to tender a reasonable and good faith lease offer to ail unleased mineral interest
owners within the Application Lands in accordance with C.R.S. § 34-60-116(7)(d)(I).
27. PDC certifies that the approval of an approximate 2,881.84 -acre Drilling and
Spacing Unit for the Application 'Lands will result in development that will protect and minimize
adverse impacts to public health, safety, and welfare, the environment, and wildlife resources and
will protect against adverse environmental impacts on any air, water, soil or biological resource in
compliance with C.R.S. § 34-60-106(2.5)(a). PDC certifies that its operations in the Application
Lands will be conducted in a reasonable manner to protect and minimize adverse impacts to
public health, safety, welfare, the environment, and wildlife resources. With this Application, PDC
submitted sworn testimony pursuant to Rule 505 supporting the protection of public health, safety,
welfare, the environment and wildlife resources.
28. PDC further certifies that the approval of an approximate 2,881.84 -acre Drilling
and Spacing Unit for the Application Lands prevents waste of oil and gas resources, avoids the
drilling of unnecessary Wells, and protects correlative rights. With this Application, PDC submitted
sworn testimony pursuant to Rule 505 supporting the prevention of waste, the avoidance of drilling
unnecessary Wells, and the protection of correlative rights.
29. PDC requests that the spacing order authorize up to 14 new horizontal wells within
the Application Lands, with the treated interval of the Niobrara and Fort Hays wellbores to be
located not less than 300 feet from the northern and southern boundaries of the unit, 150 feet
from the eastern and western boundaries of the unit, and provide that each horizontal well shall
be no closer than 150 feet from the productive interval of any other horizontal well producing from
the same formation or common source of supply, unless authorized by Rule 401.c or Rule
408.u.(1) as applicable. The Wells within the Application Lands will be drilled from an east -west
and west -east lateral orientation.
30. The undersigned certifies that copies of this Application and the Notice of Hearing
will be served on each interested party as required by Rules 504.a., 504.b.(2) and 504.b.(6).
31. The granting of this Application is in accord with the Oil and Gas Conservation Act,
found at §§ 34.60-101 et seq., C.R.S., and the Commission Rules.
32. Applicant requests that relief granted under this Application should be effective on
oral order by the Commission, and Applicant hereby agrees to be bound by said oral order.
WHEREFORE, PDC respectfully requests that this matter be set for hearing in accordance
with applicable Commission Rules, that notice be given as required by law, and that upon such
hearing this Commission enter its order to:
A. Vacate Order No. 407-2918;
B. ,Amend Order No. 4!07-2436 to authorize up to 26 horizontal wells;
Page 6 of 10

Application Lands for the development and operation of 14 new horizontal Wells for the production
of oil, gas, and associated hydrocarbons from the Niobrara and Fort Hays Formations;
D. Provide that the productive interval of the Wells in the Niobrara and Fort Hays
Formations will be no closer 300 feet from the northern and southern boundaries of the unit, 150
feet from the eastem and western boundaries of the unit, and provide that each horizontal well
shall be no closer than 150 feet from the productive interval of any other horizontal well producing
from the same formation or common source of supply, unless authorized by Rule 401.c or Rule
408.u.(1) as applicable;
E. Provide that the approved wells will be developed from the Sanford South
5N66W29 Location located within the Application Lands, unless an exception is granted by the
Director;
F. Find that the establishment of an approximate 2,881.84 -acre Drilling and Spacing
Unit for the Application Lands will prevent waste of oil and gas resources, avoid the drilling of
unnecessary Wells, protect correlative rights, and protect public health, safety, welfare, the

31, 32, 33, and 34, Township 5 North, Range 66 West, 6th P.M., and authorizing the drilling of up
to 26 horizontal wells within the proposed unit, for the production of oil, gas, and associated
hydrocarbons from the Niobrara and Codell Formations, with the treated intervals of the wellbore
of any permitted wells to be located not less than 460 feet from the boundaries of the proposed
unit, with an inter -well setback of not less than 150 feet from the treated interval of a well producing
from the Niobrara and Codell Formations, without exception being granted by the Director.
9. On July 24, 2017, the Commission entered Order No. 407-2113, which, among
other things, amended Order No. 407-1954 to allow no less than 100 feet from the productive
interval of another well within the unit, unless the Director grants an exception.
10. Also on July 24, 2017, the Commission entered Order Nos. 407-2114 which,
among other things, amended the inter -well setbacks for the approximate 2,560 -acre drilling and
spacing unit established by Docket No. 407-1955 to allow not less than 100 feet from the
productive interval of another well within the unit, unless an exception is granted by the Director.
11. On April 30, 2018, the Commission entered Order No. 407-2436, which, among
other things, approved a total of up to 40 horizontal wells within the approximate 2,560 -acre drilling
and spacing unit established by Order No. 407-1954, for production from the Niobrara and Codell
Formations. Applicant requests that Order No. 407-2436 be vacated in the spacing application
submitted as Exhibit C to the Trout Creek OGDP.
12. January 28, 2019, the Commission entered Order No. 407-2749 which, among

the Quandary 5N66W32 Pad was granted preliminary siting approval pursuant to Rule 314.b.(5)
within the approved Guanella CAP, Order No. 407-3416.
26. PDC anticipates that it will submit an application to pool all interests, including any
non -consent interests, within the Application Lands at a future date. PDC currently owns over
45% leasehold interest in the Application Lands, and therefore PDC may pool the proposed Wells
in the Application Lands pursuant to the requirements of C.R.S. § 34-60-116(6)(b)(I), subject to
the requirement to tender a reasonable and good faith lease offer to all unleased mineral interest
owners within the Application Lands in accordance with C.R.S. § 34-60-116(7)(d)(I).
27. PDC certifies that the approval of an approximate 3,606 -acre Drilling and Spacing
Unit for the Application Lands will result in development that will protect and minimize adverse
impacts to public health, safety, and welfare, the environment, and wildlife resources and will
protect against adverse environmental impacts on any air, water, soil or biological resource in
compliance with C.R.S. § 34-60-106(2.5)(a). PDC certifies that its operations in the Application
Lands will be conducted in a reasonable manner to protect and minimize adverse impacts to
public health, safety, welfare, the environment, and wildlife resources. With this Application, PDC
submitted sworn testimony pursuant to Rule 505 supporting the protection of public health, safety,
welfare, the environment and wildlife resources.
28. PDC further certifies that the approval of an approximate 3,606 -acre Drilling and
Spacing Unit for the Application Lands prevents waste of oil and gas resources, avoids the drilling
of unnecessary Wells, and protects correlative rights. With this Application, PDC submitted sworn
testimony pursuant to Rule 505 supporting the prevention of waste, the avoidance of drilling
unnecessary Wells, and the protection of correlative rights.
29. PDC requests that the spacing order authorize up to 33 new horizontal wells within
the Application Lands, with the treated interval of the Niobrara and Fort Hays wellbores to be
located .not less than 300 feet from the northern and southern boundaries of the unit, 150 feet
from the eastern and western boundaries of the unit, and provide that each horizontal well shall
Page 7 of 12
be no closer than 150 feet from the productive interval of any other horizontal well producing from
the same formation or common source of supply, unless authorized by Rule 401.c or Rule
408.u.(1) as applicable. The Wells within the Application Lands will be drilled from an east -west
and west -east lateral orientation.
30. The undersigned certifies that copies of this Application and the Notice of Hearing
will be served on each interested party as required by Rules 504.a., 504.b.(2) and 504.b.(6).
31. The granting of this Application is in accord with the Oil and Gas Conservation Act,
found at §§ 34-60-101 et seq., C.R.S., and the Commission Rules.
32. Applicant requests that relief granted under this Application should be effective on
oral order by the Commission, and Applicant hereby agrees to be bound by said oral order.
WHEREFORE, PDC respectfully requests that this matter be set for hearing in accordance
with applicable Commission Rules, that notice be given as required by law, and that upon such
hearing this Commission enter its order to:
A. Vacate the approximate 2,560 -acre drilling and spacing unit established by
Order No. 407-1955 for Sections 31, 32, 33, and 34, Township 5 North, Range 66 West, 6th
P.M
B. Vacate Order No. Order No. 407-2749;
C. Establish an approximate 3,606 -acre Drilling and Spacing Unit for the Application
Lands for the development and operation of 33 new horizontal Wells for the production of oil, gas,
and associated hydrocarbons from the Niobrara and Fort Hays Formations;
D. Provide that the productive interval of the Wells in the Niobrara and Fort Hays
Formations will be no closer 300 feet from the northern and southern boundaries of the unit, 150
feet from the eastem and western boundaries of the unit, and provide that each horizontal well
shall be no closer than 150 feet from the productive interval of any other horizontal well producing
from the same formation or common source of supply, unless authorized by Rule 401.c or Rule
408.u.(1) as applicable;
E. Provide that the approved wells will be developed from the amended Quandary
5N66W32 Location (Location ID 452472) located within the Application Lands, unless an
exception is granted by the Director,
F. Find that the establishment of an approximate 3,606 acre Drilling and Spacing Unit
for the Application Lands wiil prevent waste of oil and gas resources, avoid the drilling of
unnecessary Wells, protect correlative rights, and protect public health, safety, welfare, the
environment and wildlife resources; and
G. For such other findings and orders as the Commission may deem proper or
advisable in this matter.

adverse impacts to public health, safety, and welfare, the environment, and wildlife resources and
will protect against adverse environmental impacts on any air, water, soil or biological resource in
compliance with C.R.S. § 34-60-106(2.5)(a). PDC certifies that its operations in the Application
Lands will be conducted in a reasonable manner to protect and minimize adverse impacts to
public health, safety, welfare, the environment, and wildlife resources. With this Application, PDC
submitted sworn testimony pursuant to Rule 505 supporting the protection of public health, safety,
welfare, the environment and wildlife resources.
21. PDC further certifies that the approval of an approximate 2,566.71 -acre Drilling
and Spacing Unit for the Application Lands prevents waste of oil and gas resources, avoids the
drilling of unnecessary Wells, and protects correlative rights. With this Application, PDC submitted
sworn testimony pursuant to Rule 505 supporting the prevention of waste, the avoidance of drilling
unnecessary Wells, and the protection of correlative rights.
22. PDC requests that the spacing order authorize up to 24 new horizontal wells within
the Application Lands, with the treated interval of the Niobrara and Fort Hays wellbores to be
located not less than 300 feet from the northern and southern boundaries of the unit, 150 feet
from the eastern and western boundaries of the unit, and provide that each horizontal well shall
be no closer than 150 feet from the productive interval of any other horizontal well producing from
the same formation or common source of supply, unless authorized by Rule 401.c or Rule
408.u.(1) as applicable. The Wells within the Application Lands will be drilled from an east -west
and west -east lateral orientation.
23. The undersigned certifies that copies of this Application and the Notice of Hearing
will be served on each interested party as required by Rules 504.a., 504.b.(2) and 504.b.(6).
24. The granting of this Application is in accord with the Oil and Gas Conservation Act,
found at §§ 34-60-101 et seq., C.R.S., and the Commission Rules.

OPERATIONAL PHASES OF DEVELOPMENT
Construction Phase
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.
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.

OGDP Name: Trout Creek 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 Redamation
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
EC IC Rules and applicable law and in accordance with the surface owners' future land use plans.

OPERATIONAL PHASES OF DEVELOPMENT
Construction Phase
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.
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 Lase
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.

OGDP Name: Trout Creek 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.

OPERATIONAL PHASES OF DEVELOPMENT
Construction Phase
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.
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.

2n511,AAre aedey toao63a
14.1.70.803.2130
DamAng@cbeuron.cont
OGDP Name: Trout Creek 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.

COGCC INFORMATION SKEET:
PROCEDURAL STEPS FOR THE
COMMISSION'S REVIEW OF OG®Ps
(As required by COGCC Rule 3O3.e.(2).C)
Why am I receiving this information sheet?
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 pulblic 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 Et 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 Et 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
("CDPH'E" )); 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. nest management practices;
e. public comments and recommendations
provided by consulting agencies;
f. financial assurance; and
g. 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 shearing. (See
Rule 306.c)
6. Commission's consideration and final action
(public hearing): The Commission receives the
' 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 (lute 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
htto://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.

COLORADO
Coil & Gas Conservation
Commission
'Department of Natural Resources
COGCC INFORMATION SHEET:
PUBLIC COMMENTS
(As required by COGCC Rule 303.e. (2)0)
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 1 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

How tong do I have to submit a comment on
a permit?
The Public Comment Period begins once the COGCC
Director determines the OGDP application is complete
and has been successfully submitted by the operator.
The Director will approve the Form 2C, OGDP
Certification form, and post the OGDP application on
the website for public review.
In order to be considered by the Director and
Commission during the review of the OGDP, public
comments must be received as follows:
1. Within 30 days from the date that the Director
posts thethe OGDP on the website, OR
2. Within 45 days if the OGDP includes any
proposed Oil and Gas Locations within 2,000
feet of a Residential Building Unit, High
Occupancy Building Unit, or School Facility
within a Disproportionately Impacted
Community.

The Director may extend or reopen the public comment
period per Rule 303.g, for up to an additional 30 days
for a proposed OGDP if the Director determines an
extension or reopening is reasonable in order to obtain
public input.
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 will 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.

INFORMATION SHEET:
HYDRAULIC FRACTURING
TREATMENT
(As required byCOGCC Rule 303.e.(2).E)
'l>llhy am # receiving this information sheet?
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 Rute 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.
Operators2 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.
"That 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
seal 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
welt. 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 well 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.

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
casino 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 downhote 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 tong -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 seal 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 wells 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 kill bacteria in the water.
Surfactants promote water flowback from the
formation, up the welt 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 properly. COGCC rules require that
operators property 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

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 ("EaP
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 wilt 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.
Where can I get additional information?
FracFocus (www.fracfocus.org) contains detailed
information on hydraulic fracturing, chemicals
used, groundwater protection and how to find a
well near you.

COGCC INFORMATION SHEET:
OGDP STATUS INFORMATION
(As required by COGCC Rule 303.a (2).G)
Why am I receiving this information sheet?
The Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation
Commission ("COGCC") prepared this information
sheet to inform the public in the vicinity of a
proposed Oil and Gas Development Plan ("OGDP")
how to access documents and view the status of
proposed OGDPs through the COGCC's website,
eForms, and eFiling system. A review of public
property records indicates that you may have an
interest in lands that an oil and gas operator
wishes to develop as part of an OGDP. Pursuant to
Commission Rule 303.e. (2).G, operators are
required to provide this information sheet to
certain recipients near their development plans.
What is an Oil and Gas Development Plan?
An OGDP is an operator's plan to develop
subsurface oil and gas resources ("minerals") from
one or more surface locations. An OGDP consists
of a hearing application and associated permit
materials that provide technical information. The
Director (i.e. COGCC Staff) reviews the technical
information and makes a recommendation to the
Commission for the hearings application; the
Commission has the ultimate authority on
approval or denial of the OGDP.
How do I view the status of the pending
OGDP hearing application?
Members of the public may view the status of
proposed OGDP applications through the COGCC
eFiling System by creating an account in the
