APPLICATION COMMISSIONERS
COMES NOW PDC Energy, Inc. (Operator No. 69175) ("PDC" or
"Applicant"), by its attorneys, Burleson LLP, and makes this application to the Oil and
Gas Conservation Commission of the State of Colorado ("Commission") for an order to
pool all interests within an approximate 320-acre Wellbore Spacing Unit, as defined
below, for the drilling of the Wiedeman 28F-412 Well (API No. 05-123-40556) ("Well"),
for the development of the Codell Formation on the following described lands:
Township 4 North, Range 66 West, 6t" P.M.
Section 28: N%
320 acres, more or less, Weld County, Colorado.
Hereinafter "Application Lands"
In support thereof, Applicant states and alleges as follows:
1. Applicant is a corporation duly authorized to conduct business in
the State of Colorado, and is a registered operator in good standing with the
Commission.
2. Applicant owns certain leasehold interests in the Application Lands.
3. On April 27, 1998, the Commission adopted Rule 318A, which,
among other things, allowed certain drilling locations to be utilized to drill or twin a well,
deepen a well or recomplete a well and to commingle any or all of the Cretaceous Age
Formations from the base of the Dakota Formation to the surface. On December 5,
2005, Rule 318A was amended to allow interior infill and boundary wells to be drilled
and wellbore spacing units to be established. On August 8, 2011, Rule 318A was again
amended to, among other things, address drilling of horizontal wells.
• •
4. On February 19, 1992, the Commission entered Order No. 407-87
(amended August 20, 1993) which, among other things, established 80-acre drilling and
spacing units for the production of oil, gas and associated hydrocarbons from the
Codell-Niobrara Formations, the Codell Formation, and the Niobrara Formation
underlying certain lands, including the Application Lands, with the permitted well
locations in accordance with the provisions of Order No. 407-1.
5. Applicant designated the 320-acre Wellbore Spacing Unit for the
production of oil, gas, and associated hydrocarbons from the Codell Formation pursuant
to.Rule 318A and notified the appropriate parties under Rule 318A.
6. Applicant, pursuant to Commission Rule 530 and/or the provisions of
C.R.S. § 34-60-116 (6) and (7), hereby requests an order to pool all interests, including but
not limited to, any non-consenting interests, in the Application Lands in the Codell
Formation underlying the following approximate 320-acre Wellbore Spacing Unit:
Township 4 North, Range 66 West, 6th P.M.
Section 28: N%2
(throughout as "Wellbore Spacing Unit").
7. . Applicant requests that the Commission's pooling order be made
effective as of the earlier of the date of this Application, or the date that the costs specified
in C.R.S. § 34-60-116(7)(b) are first incurred for the drilling of the Well to the Codell
Formation on the Application Lands.
8. Applicant certifies that copies of this Application will be served on all
persons owning an interest in the mineral estate of the tracts to be pooled within seven (7)
days of the date hereof, as required by Rule 503.e., and that at least thirty-five (35) days
prior to the hearing on this matter, each such interest owner not already leased or
voluntarily pooled will be offered the opportunity to lease, or to participate in the drilling of
the Well, and will be provided with the information required by Rule 530 as applicable.
The list of such interested parties is attached hereto as Exhibit A.
9. That in order to prevent waste and to protect correlative rights, all
interests in the Wellbore Spacing Unit should be pooled for the orderly development of
the Codell Formation, including any non-consenting interests therein.
WHEREFORE, Applicant requests that this matter be set for hearing at
the next available opportunity, that notice be given as required by law, and that upon
such hearing, the Commission enter its order:
A. Pooling all interests in the Application Lands and the Wellbore
Spacing Unit for the development of the Codell Formation.
B. Providing that the Commission's pooling order is made effective as of
the earlier of the date of this Application, or the date that any of the costs specified in
C.R.S. § 34-60-116(7)(b) are first incurred for the drilling of the Well in the Wellbore
Spacing Unit to the Codell Formation on the Application Lands.
C. Providing that the interests of any owners with whom the Applicant
has been unable to secure a lease or other agreement to participate in the drilling of the
Well are pooled by operation of statute, pursuant to C.R.S. § 34-60-116(6) and (7), and
made subject to the cost recovery provisions thereof with respect to the Well drilled to
develop the Codell Formation in the Wellbore Spacing Unit comprising the Application
Lands.
D. For such other findings and orders as the Commission may deem
proper or advisable in this matter.
WHEREFORE, Applicant respectfully requests that this matter be set for
hearing in October 2015, that notice be given as required by law, and that upon such
hearing, the Commission enter its order consistent with Applicant's request as set forth
above.

APPLICATION COMMISSIONERS
COMES NOW PDC Energy, Inc. (Operator No. 69175) ("PDC" or
"Applicant"), by its attorneys, Burleson LLP, and makes this application to the Oil and
Gas Conservation Commission of the State of Colorado ("Commission") for an order to
pool all interests within an approximate 560-acre Wellbore Spacing Unit, as defined
below, for the drilling of the Wiedeman Trust Federal 29O-332 Well (API No. 05-123-
40340) ("Well"), for the development of the Niobrara Formation on the following
described lands:
Township 4 North, Range 66 West, 6th P.M.
Section 28: N%SY, SY2N'/2
Section 29: N%%SE'/, S'/NE1/4, SE'V4NW%4, NEY4SWV
560 acres, more or less, Weld County, Colorado.
Hereinafter "Application Lands"
In support thereof, Applicant states and alleges as follows:
1. Applicant is a corporation duly authorized to conduct business in
the State of Colorado, and is a registered operator in good standing with the
Commission.
2. Applicant owns certain leasehold interests in the Application Lands.
3. On April 27, 1998, the Commission adopted Rule 318A, which,
among other things, allowed certain drilling locations to be utilized to drill or twin a well,
deepen a well or recomplete a well and to commingle any or all of the Cretaceous Age
Formations from the base of the Dakota Formation to the surface. On December 5,
2005, Rule 318A was amended to allow interior infill and boundary wells to be drilled
and wellbore spacing units to be established. On August 8, 2011, Rule 318A was again
amended to, among other things, address drilling of horizontal wells.
• •
4. On February 19, 1992, the Commission entered Order No. 407-87
(amended August 20, 1993) which, among other things, established 80-acre drilling and
spacing units for the production of oil, gas and associated hydrocarbons from the
Codell-Niobrara Formations, the Codell Formation, and the Niobrara Formation
underlying certain lands, including the Application Lands, with the permitted well
locations in accordance with the provisions of Order No. 407-1.
5. Applicant designated the 560-acre Wellbore Spacing Unit for the
production of oil, gas, and associated hydrocarbons from the Niobrara Formation
pursuant to Rule 318A and notified the appropriate parties under Rule 318A.
6: Applicant, pursuant to Commission Rule 530 and/or the provisions of
C.R.S. § 34-60-116 (6) and (7), hereby requests an order to pool all interests, including but
not limited to, any non-consenting interests, in the Application Lands in the Niobrara
Formation underlying the following approximate 560-acre Wellbore Spacing Unit:
Township 4 North, Range 66 West, 6th P.M.
Section 28: NY2S%, SYN%
Section 29: N%SEY4, S'/NE'/, SE%NWY4, NE'/SWV4
(throughout as "Wellbore Spacing Unit").
7. Applicant requests that the Commission's pooling order be made
effective as of the earlier of the date of this Application, or the date that the costs specified
in C.R.S. § 34-60-116(7)(b) are first incurred for the drilling of the Well to the Niobrara
Formation on the Application Lands.
8. Applicant certifies that copies of this Application will be served on all
persons owning an interest in the mineral estate of the tracts to be pooled within seven (7)
days of the date hereof, as required by Rule 503.e., and that at least thirty-five (35) days
prior to the hearing on this matter, each such interest owner not already leased or
voluntarily pooled will be offered the opportunity to lease, or to participate in the drilling of
the Well, and will be provided with the information required by Rule 530 as applicable.
The list of such interested parties is attached hereto as Exhibit A.
9. That in order to prevent waste and to protect correlative rights, all
interests in the Wellbore Spacing Unit should be pooled for the orderly development of
the Niobrara Formation, including any non-consenting interests therein.
WHEREFORE, Applicant requests that this matter be set for hearing at
the next available opportunity, that notice be given as required by law, and that upon
such hearing, the Commission enter its order: .
A. Pooling all interests in the Application Lands and the Wellbore
Spacing Unit for the development of the Niobrara Formation.
.
B. Providing that the Commission's pooling order is made effective as of
the earlier of the date of this Application, or the date that any of the costs specified in
C.R.S. § 34-60-116(7)(b) are first incurred for the drilling of the Well in the Wellbore
Spacing Unit to the Niobrara Formation on the Application Lands.
C. Providing that the interests of any owners with whom the Applicant
has been unable to secure a lease or other agreement to participate in the drilling of the
Well are pooled by operation of statute, pursuant to C.R.S. § 34-60-116(6) and (7), and
made subject to the cost recovery provisions thereof with respect to the Well drilled to
develop the Niobrara Formation in the Wellbore Spacing Unit comprising the Application
Lands.
D. For such other findings and orders as the Commission may deem
proper or advisable in this matter.
WHEREFORE, Applicant respectfully requests that this matter be set for
hearing in October 2015, that notice be given as required by law, and that upon such
hearing, the Commission enter its order consistent with Applicant's request as set forth
above.
Dated: August 27, 2015.

has been unable to secure a lease or other agreement to participate in the drilling of the
Well are pooled by operation of statute, pursuant to C.R.S. § 34-60-116(6) and (7), and
made subject to the cost recovery provisions thereof with respect to the Well drilled to
develop the Codell Formation in the Wellbore Spacing Unit comprising the Application
Lands.
D. For such other findings and orders as the Commission may deem

Do you have the reception number for the lease these are related to? We try to attach them to a lease so we do not
have to worry about protesting. Thanks!

Hi Kayla,
I show you are all under lease for the below wells (those certain leases dated 1/14/15 between PDC and Weld County),
thus were notified at a RI owner.
Let me know if you have any questions!

Hi Karla,
I believe we have you under lease for all tracts and you are being notified as a royalty owner, however, I will double
check this week and get back to you If I find different.

Josh,
I received several COGCC Applications for S28/529, T4N, R66W. I have listed the wells below that were on the
aps. Could you please advise why we were noticed—ie—LGD, Mineral Owner? If we are mineral owners, could you tell
me if we are in a lease? If not, we would love to go into a lease with you.
