Section 16: Part of the NW/4 ("Application Property") Weld County, Colorado Mr. Gathman: This letter is being sent by Anadarko Petroleum Corporation on behalf of its subsidiary Kerr-McGee Oil & Gas Onshore LP ("KMG" or the "Company") to inform you KMG is the owner of valid oil and gas leases underlying all or parts of Section 16, Township 3 North, Range 66 West ("Leased Lands"), for which Weld County ("County") is reviewing an application for a Site Specific Development Plan and USR. KMG is submitting this comment and objection timely, in accordance with State of Colorado and the County's procedural requirements. KMG's recorded oil and gas leases are real property interests entitling it to produce oil and gas from the Leased Lands (and, as may be applicable, adjacent lands). The Company has the right to utilize the Application Property to produce from existing wells, to maintain, rework, recomplete, and fracture those existing wells to enhance production, and to drill new wells to produce oil and gas, in accordance with applicable Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission regulations and Colorado Statutes. KMG's oil and gas assets have significant value, and the Company is consequently concerned about any development, surface use, plan of use, PUD, zoning or rezoning, or other action by the County that would impair or preclude its ability to develop its oil and gas interests. KMG's preferred practice is to meet with surface owners and attempt to conclude a mutually acceptable agreement. KMG must object to any approval by the County for the Applicant's plans that fail to fully accommodate KMG's right to explore for, develop and produce oil and gas from its leasehold interests or the Leased Lands. KMG requests that the EXHIBIT A SUBSIDIARY OF ANADARKO PETROLEUM CORPORATION f C0 � 15' 16 1. 1 County withhold final approval until such time as the Applicant and KMG have concluded an agreement. Any future surface development plans on the Application Property should incorporate and designate lands to be set aside for mineral development and expressly provide protection for KMG's current and future wells, pipelines, gathering lines and related oil and gas facilities and equipment. The County has a statutory obligation to ensure that the property rights of mineral interest owners are accommodated in its land use planning process. Approval of any surface development plan that forecloses the rights of mineral and leasehold owners may be a compensable taking. Please contact me at 970-515-1186 if you have any questions or comments about this matter. KMG hopes to conclude a mutually acceptable agreement with the surface owner of the property, and we look forward to working with the County to accomplish its land use planning goals.
