fllqn-expects to drill a shallow test well ('less than
?909.f!. ) in the SE-NE-SE of Sec. 19, T4S, ngSW, Gar-field county, colorado. we p'lan to iest iheorelicalconcepts pertai.ning to the I'liobrara formation. If hydrocarbonsare encountered in the test bore, stimulation of the-well byfracturing techniques will take place.
Locati on
Under TAB 9:
Sheet 1 is the registered surveyor,s plat (for finescale).
!l.u! 2 presents the location on the appropriate usGS
7L" ninute topographic sheet.
sheet 3 shows the location relative to roads and thetown of Rifle.
Scope
: Filon plans, in general, to leave the minimum visi.bleremnants of our operations at the termination of our work.0perations which bear to this point are:
1. Road construction from County Rd. Z5Z to- the drilisite.
This road will consist of dirt work for alarge culvert crossing of West Rifle Creek anddozing of the minimum sagebrush from the creek tothe drillsite (attempting to leave as much naturalground cover as possible).
2. Drillsite Construction.
The drillsite itself will be on nearly levelground whi ch wi I I be dozed c'lean ( aplrox. 100, by50').with trvo mud pits ( approx. i0'' by 20, una Oideep) near one end. The driHsite dra-inage will betoward these pits so that no fluids will Teave thedrillsite.
Des i gn
--covered under "C" above--
Construction Schedule
Dirtwork, as mentioned in "c" above, wi'lI begin with thegranting of this permit and take one or two days. Therestoration work, vrhich is real]y construction work as well,will consist of filling the muo pits when they have dried,
c.
D.
E.
F.
smoothlng the location to near-original condition, and re-seeding. The road will be ]eft foi Mr. povrers at his request.This "re-construction" should take 'less than one day.
0perational Characteristics
There ir- !o way to specify this beforehand. The general
theme of ]ow impact operations will be adhered to is nearly asis practical.
Manpower Curve
[Je expect to have 5 men on the driltsite throughout theoperation. If_any of the following operations take place,approximately 5 additionar men wili uL on site, one bperai-ionat a time;
1.. Casing and/or cementing2. Loggi;rg3. Fracturing
l.le estimate the.gnt!re-operation to take approximatelytvro weeks with the timing of the five addilional men irnprea-ictable if they are required at all.
Housi ng
--none required on site--
Access
Access will be on State Hwy 325 to Rifle gap, then on
lounp Rd zsz to the propeity line, then 6n'ii"t uc.uss roadto the drillsite.
Compliance with 'local, State, and Federal 'taws andregulations.
