INSPECTION PROCESS OVERVIEW

This document provides an overview of both the operational actions Anadarko has taken to shut in
3,000+ operated vertical wells and associated flowlines and equipment for inspection, as well as the
state regulatory authority’s Notice to Operators (NTO) that requires all operators to: 1) re-inspect any
existing flowline and/or pipeline located within 1,000 feet of a building unit, and 2) ensure and
document that all flowlines within 1,000 feet of a building unit have integrity.
Anadarko Action Status:
3,000+ Operated Vertical Wells in the DJ Basin are Shut In
No Vertical Well Will Be Restarted Until It Passes Inspection
NTO Status:
All Wells, Associated Infrastructure and Flowlines Will Be Inspected
We are Working to Comply with COGCC’s NTO of 5/2/17 by the prescribed completion dates for each phase

Ensure and Document Integrity of All Flowlines within 1,000 feet of a Building Unit
Integrity will be Verified by Pressure Testing Flowlines in Accordance with COGCC Rules and Guidelines
No Well will be Restarted Until it Passes Both the Inspection and Flowline Integrity Testing
