RE: Rule 318.c. Exception Location Consent From Mineral Owner
Dear Mr. Kalousek,

Bison Oil 8z. Gas II, LLC ("Bison") is proposing to drill (8) eight horizontal wells to the Niobrara
Formation (the "Wells") pursuant to Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission ("COGCC")
Order No. 535-893, as amended by Order No. 535-1202, which created a 960 -acre drilling and
spacing for Township 8 North, Range 60 West, Section 22: All and Section 23: W2, 6th P.M. in Weld
County, Colorado (the "Hale Unit"). The Orders allow for the Wells to be drilled no closer than 300
feet from the unit boundaries. Bison wishes to extend the length of the Wells up to 150 feet from
the eastern unit boundary to prevent waste and allow for more efficient and economic development
of the reservoir. In order to do so, Bison plans to request from the Director of the COGCC an
exception pursuant to Rule 318.c.
You own minerals in the adjacent drilling and spacing unit established by COGCC Order No. 535-
1306 covering Township 8 North, Range 60 West, Section 23: E2 and Section 24: W2. Your
minerals are currently unleased, and Bison operates both this adjacent unit and the Hale Unit
described above. While Bison is authorized to operate and drill wells in both units, in order for
Bison to obtain the exception from the Director, COGCC Rule 318.c. requires that Bison obtain your
consent. This letter requests that you provide your consent to allow the Wells in the Hale Unit to be
drilled up to 150 feet from the boundary of the unit that includes your minerals.
Upon receiving consent from you and the other mineral owners, Bison will submit its request to the
Director. Should the Director approve the exception locations, Bison will file an application with
the COGCC to amend Order No. 535-1306 to establish a matching unit boundary setback so that the
wells in your unit can be drilled to within 150 feet from the Hale Unit. This setback amendment will
protect your mineral interests and correlative rights and prevent waste.
As a mineral owner in 8N -60W, Sections 23 & 24, please indicate your agreement and consent with
Bison's proposal herein, by signing in the space provided on the following page.
Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to Travis Barrett by phone at
720-644-6997 ext 5-2 or by email at tbarrett@bisonog.com.
Sincerely,
