That, pursuant to the Commission s Order No (WF) dated as of January 10, 2005, as corrected June 2005 and November 2008, an approximate 640 acre drilling and spacing unit consisting of the Application Lands was established together with permission to drill ten acre density Williams Fork Formation wells thereon. Also, pursuant to the Commission s Order No dated as of April 25, 2005, as corrected November 2007 and November 2008, an approximate 640-acre drilling and spacing unit consisting of the Application Lands was established together with permission to drill ten acre density Iles Formation wells thereon. 4. Applicant has commenced drilling operations on twelve (12) wells that will be drilled from one well pad; said wells are listed on Exhibit A attached hereto. 5. At least 30 days prior to hearing on this application, Applicant will have sent to affected owners appropriate AFE s (containing the information required by the Commission s Rule 530.a) detailing the actual costs of drilling these twelve wells. Applicant anticipates, however, that

2 one or more of such owners may refuse to participate in the drilling, testing and completion of these wells or otherwise may fail to respond to Applicant s offer to participate. 6. Moreover, that with respect to any owners of unleased mineral interests in the Application Lands, Applicant will have made reasonable attempts pursuant to COGCC Rule 530.b. to enter into leases with such parties but, again, anticipates it may be unsuccessful in such attempts. 7. That in order to prevent waste, protect correlative rights and in the best interests of conservation, all interests of parties entitled to participate in the production from the described twelve wells (as well as future Williams Fork Formation and Iles Formation wells drilled on the Application Lands) should be pooled as to production from the Williams Fork Formation and Iles Formation in accordance with C.R.S and Rule 530 of the COGCC. 8.
