Barbara:
Please find the attached
Location Exception letter for the wells closer than 600' to a lease line on the
Whittaker Flats D17 998 pad. Also, see the below email from Bob Hartman
at the BLM regarding this location. This should allow you to
continue to process the permits on this pad.
Please let me know if you
need anything further.
Thanks,

Miss Heather and COGCC
After reviewing the submitted APDs and our lease data I see no
issues with continuing forward with the APD approvals from the Federal
side.
COGCC can use this email as an OK for the setback being less
than 600’ for the wells you have listed below.
The BLM will not approve the APDs until the proposed unit is
approved and we firm up the proposed BHLs.
If there are any questions please get back to me.
Thanks

In
order for the State to process our permits on the WhF D17 998 pad, they need
the BLM to approve the placement of our bottom holes. The BHLs are
less than 600 feet away from the adjacent lease to the South
COC66211. Encana has rights to this BLM lease.
Four of our six wells are closer to this lease than the State
allows without an exception letter and a waiver from the BLM.
Encana has proposed a unit (also attached) that will eliminate the
issue with the setbacks upon its approval, however the State will not continue
to process without a waiver from the BLM. An email with your
approval will suffice.
The
following wells are are all less than 600 away from the COC 66211 BLM mineral
lease and I have attached our multiwell plan for your reference.
Please
let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
