Daub & Associates, Inc. (D &A), based in Grand Junction, Colorado, engineered the P &A and <br />secured the contract. A geologist from D &A was on -site during all phases of the abandonment <br />operation, provided field coordination - supervision, and quality control and confirmation of the <br />P &A activity. The D &A geologist performed the following duties: <br />• provided QA /QC of all operations <br />• maintained a chronological log of daily activities <br />• coordinated contractor operations <br />• provided cost tracking and reporting <br />Plugging and Abandonment <br />On September 26, 2013 RRWS arrived on location. The location was prepped for the <br />abandonment operations, and the well head was readied to accept the diverter and cementing <br />equipment. Other equipment was gathered in preparation for cementing operations. The <br />equipment was rigged up and Red Rocks ran in the hole with the 9 7/8 inch scraper to a depth <br />of 1,903 feet below GL. While pulling back a joint driller felt some resistance as if the scraper <br />had possibly gone out of the casing. The job was shutdown for the day. <br />On September 27, 2013 RRWS set up and attempted to circulate. Circulation could not be <br />established, so RRWS pulled out of the hole. Jet West rigged up to run geophysical logs and a <br />bridge plug. Jet West first ran a 9.625 inch gauge ring to 1,899 feet, then ran a gamma ray log <br />to 1,899 feet. Jet West then ran in and set a 9.625 inch bridge plug at 1,892 feet, with the <br />bottom set at 1894 feet. Jet West rigged down and left location. RRWS tripped in to 1,876 feet <br />and circulated the hole clean. <br />On September 28, 2013 RRWS set up and pumped approximately 6.5 cubic yards of cement <br />mixed at 19 sacks per cubic yard with 15% fly ash) and with 1 % CaCI added at site prior to <br />pumping down hole. The cement was poured into a graduated plastic tote through a metal <br />screen to remove any clumps. Top of cement was expected to have been at approximately <br />1,488 feet. Sixteen joints of pipe were pulled (1,396 feet) while displacing and flushing out the <br />pump. After allowing sufficient time for the cement to cure, RRWS ran in and tagged the top of <br />cement at a depth of 1,579 feet. RRWS then pumped seven cubic yards of cement, using the <br />previous recipe. The pipe was pulled up to a total depth of 1,084 feet and flushed with water. <br />Operations were shut down for the day. <br />On September 29, 2013 RRWS ran in and tagged cement at 1,234 feet. A third batch consisting <br />of 7 cubic yards of Portland Type II /V cement (19 sacks per yard, 15% fly ash) with 1% CaCI <br />accelerant added on location, was pumped down hole. Sixteen joints of pipe were pulled and <br />then flushed with fresh water. After allowing the third cement batch time to cure, RRWS ran in <br />and tagged top of cement at a depth of 870 feet. The fourth cement batch, consisted of seven <br />cubic yards using the previous recipe, was pumped down hole. The pipe was pulled up to a <br />depth of approximately 480 feet and flushed with water. <br />Daub & Associates, Inc. Page 2 of 3 88 -1 Plug and Abandonment Report <br />
