The accumulator system shall have a pressure capacity to provide for repeated operation of
hydraulic preventers.

d.

Drill string safety valve(s), to fit all drill string connections in use, are to be maintained on the
rig floor while drilling operations are in progress.

PROPOSED CASING AND CEMENTING PROGRAMS:


a.

The proposed casing and cementing program shall be conducted as approved to protect
and/or isolate all usable water zones, potentially productive zones, lost circulation zones,
abnormally pressured zones, and any prospectively valuable deposits of minerals. Any
isolating medium other than cement shall receive approval prior to use. The casing setting
depth shall be calculated to position the casing seat opposite a competent formation which
will contain the maximum pressure to which it will be exposed during normal drilling
operations. Determination of casing setting depth shall be based on all relevant factors,
including; presence/absence of hydrocarbons; fracture gradients; usable water zones;
formation pressures; lost circulation zones; other minerals; or other unusual characteristics.
All indications of usable water shall be reported.

b.

Casing design shall assume formation pressure gradients of 0.44 to 0.5 psi per foot for
exploratory wells (lacking better data).

c.

Casing design shall assume fracture gradients from 0.70 to 1.00 psi per foot for exploratory
wells (lacking better data).

necessary.

ACCESS ROADS TO BE CONSTRUCTED AND RECONSTRUCTED


a.

There will be approximately 0.3 miles of existing access road to be upgraded and 0.3 miles
of new access to be constructed.

b.

The new access road will be constructed as a flat bladed road. Surfacing material will be
placed along the new access to a depth of approximately 4 inches. The running surface of
the road will be a minimum of 14 feet with a maximum disturbed width of 32 feet.

c.

Approximately 2 or 3turnouts will be constructed along the proposed route to allow traffic to
pass safely.

d.

Where the approach leaves Highway 50, it will be modified to meet NDOT standards. The
approach will meet the highway at a 90 degree angle. For the protection of the Old Lincoln
Highway (which parallels Highway 50 on the west side), the approach will be constructed by
placing a minimum of 4" of fill material over the Old Highway road bed. This will prevent
damage to the old road bed. In addition - approximately 6 inches of gravel will be placed on
the fill material covering the Old Lincoln Highway. No topsoil will be removed from the old
road bed.

e.

After the road crosses through the Highway fence line -the remainder of the road construction
will include salvaging the top 12" of topSOil in a windrow along the edge of the road and
immediately seeding it with the same interim seed mixture as used for the pad. Reclamation
will be similar to that for the location pad: regarding, ripping the road surface, recovering with
the salvaged topsoil, and final seeding.

f.

Gravel used for pad or access road construction may be placed only after the underlying
topsoil has been salvaged. It may be removed prior to regrading and ripping or left to be
incorporated in the reclamation procedures outlined above.

g.

Culverts, when deemed necessary by the location contractor, will be installed during
construction.

of invasive weeds that result from implementation of the proposed action. The operator will
implement the Ely Field Office Noxious Weed Prevention Schedule and SOPs for weed
treatments, with special emphasis on the following actions. Prior to entering the site, all
construction, drilling equipment, and vehicles will be washed down and cleaned to prevent
the importation of noxious weed seeds from prior places of work. Vehicles will stay on roads
and avoid driving through any weed patched. All seeds used in reclamation will be certified
weed-free. The operator will assist in monitoring for noxious and invasive weeds during the
life of the project, until reclamation is complete.

d.

The top 12" of topsoil, where available. from pad construction will be salvaged, stockpiled
separately from any other material. The topsoil will be seeded immediately with the interim
seed mix in order to stabilize the soil and help preventthe establishment of invasive and non
native weeds. An additional interim seeding may be required.

e.

Cut slopes and fill slopes will be no steeper than 2:1.

f.

Cuts and fills and cross sections are also shown on the location layout.

g.

The location of the reserve pit, with respect to the pad and other facilities is shown on the
location layout.

h.

A 12 mil plastic liner will be installed in the reserve pit to prevent loss of drilling fluids through
seepage.

i.

For the protection of livestock and wildlife, all pits containing toxic liquids will be fenced with
3-strands of barbed wire with one strand of smooth wire on the bottom. For the protection
of migrating waterfowl, the pits will be flagged overhead during migration periods. Any oil on

the surface of the pit will be burned off, or otherwise removed. In addition, white flagging will
be tied on the top wire of the reserve pit fencing.

10.

RECLAMATION OF SURFACE
a.

The rathole and mousehole will be filled in immediately after the rig is removed.

b.

Interim seeding will be done as soon as possible on any topsoil piles or windrow piles. A
seed mixture for interim reclamation will be provided by the BLM.

b.

Pad reclamation will consist of recontourin g, ripping, re-spreading the topsoil, and reseeding
with the final seed mixture which should be planted between October 1 and March 15.
Performance standards for revegetation success are that the reclaimed area will have at least
100% oft the perennial canopy cover of the existing adjacent plant cover. The site will be
evaluated by the Ely BLM for vegetative progress after at least one full growing season. If not
successful, the BLM reclamation specialist will review the reclamation procedures with the
operator to decide on the best course of action to achieve success.

c.

The operator or his contractor will contact the Bureau of Land Management in Ely, Nevada
(775) 289-1800, 48 hours prior to commence of site reclamation work and upon completion
of restoration measures.

d.

All disturbed areas will be recontoured to conform as near as possible to the natural contour.
This includes removing all berms and backfilling all cuts.

e.

All disturbed areas will be ripped in both directions (criss-cross) to break up the compacted
soils. The stockpiled topsoil will be evenly spread over the disturbed area.

f.

The operator will be responsible for complete control of any noxious weeds that become
established within the project area during the life of this project through final reclamation. This
would include the responsibility for control of noxious weeds along the access roads, pad
location, and any water and gravel sources.

g.

Noxious and invasive weeds, which may be introduced due to soil disturbance and
reclamation, will be treated by methods to be approved by the authorized officer. These
methods may include biological, mechanical, cultural or chemical. Should chemical methods
be approved, the lessee must submit a Pesticide Use Proposal to the authorized officer 60

Pluto 27-1 Well

As you know we have been attempting to recover the fish. However, the all fishing attempts have been unsuccessful.
Thus our plan moving forward is to make a hole conditioning run prior to running a dipmeter log (8600'- 6900'). Based on
the evaluation of the processed dip meter log, three possibilities exit, 1} lay a 200 ft (8682' - 8482') cement plug on top of
fish, side track around fish and drill to planned TO of 12000 ft., 2} lay 200 ft (8682' - 8482') cement plug and drill to new
bottomhole location (BHL) and 3) Plug and abandon the well. What forms are required for sidetracking the well?

PXP Pluto BOPE Test

From:

Great Morning
Just returned from the location. PXP has decided to get fish out of hole before they conduct
the BOPE test. I met with the Schlumberger Testers today. They do off-shore BOPE testing and
I feel very good about the test being done properly when it is done. They might be days or
just hours getting the fish out of the hole and then conducting the test.
Will be out of the office this afternoon and this weekend. My wife and I are celebrating our
34 th anniversary so we might be out of town. Will have my eel if needed.
Thanx J

Great Day ChristYJ


Update on Rigs.
EOG ORGl-7 True Rig 9

Witnessed Csg J Cement & BOPE test over weekend and Monday.

Csg run went very well. No problems landing Csg.

Cement went well also. Cement pumped with full returns to surface during the job.

Cement weight and yield were lighter due to deeper Csg run. Water separated from cement in

Csg. Cement was tagged 110' below ground level.

Cement was topped with 1" to surface and held.

BOPE test was more eventful.

Replaced

Check valve on kill line failed.


Repaired

Manual choke valve was inoperable.


Repaired

Remote control on accumulator would not operate.


Csg test was good' J

The original approved 95/S" casing setting depth was 7250', however, after drilling to 4750' severe lost circulation problems resulted in
borehole instability making it necessary to set casing. The 9-5/S" casing was set at 4495' or 255' off bottom. The casing was cemented with 270
bbls of9.5 ppg cement and 20 bbl of 15.S ppg Class G cement. No circulation or cement returns were observed during the cementing
operation. The Bottom plug was bumped with 600 psi, 2 bbls fluid bled back and the floats were holding. CIP 22:30 hours.

RE: Pluto 27-1 Morning Drilling Report

Yes, we are. The last survey was 5 degrees at 6,747 ft. Thus, after drilling 930 ft from the previous survey of 0.18
degrees at 5815 ft the inclination had built to approximately 5 degrees. We will be logging the well with a dipmeter so we
will have directional survey data to current depth of 7100 ft.
Regards,
Gary

Need to keep an eye on the vertical deviation. What intervals are you planning on running surveys?

On site visit to Plains Exploration, Ely
Met with
Access road in good shape. Pad in good order.
Noble Rig, pulling out of hole, waiting for Schlumberger for cement bond log on 9 5/8 set in
very bad LC zone.

Requested the operator install a wind sock on the rig. Requested a copy of their schedule for

calibrating and tests gas detection equipment. Requested all safety training and drills be recorded

on the tower sheets.

Collected Double Jack printouts of the last two BOP tests.

see no problem in the change. I would ask that a subsequent Sundry Notice be submitted
outlining the finished job. I have an operational question. Are you going to run any type
of cement log to determine adequate cement job? With the lost circulation problems, a
competent cement job is going to be a challenge.

Please discuss the BlM's concerns and come up with a proposed solution.

Also, Michael Tyler will be out of the office until the end of June,

please call me when you propose to run the intermediate casing.

We have elected to run 9-5/8 casing to the current TO of 47SB' because of inability to gain
circulation. After logging, we have been attempting to go back to bottom and drill ahead
with a motor and MWO, however, we are unable to circulate. We have made several unsuccessful

attempts at
the hole to
approve, is
in cleaning

4599 ft and 3799 ; _ to regain circulation. We are ill progress of staging out of
determine at what depth circulation can be established. Thus, our plan, if you
to run and cement the 9-5/8" casing to current TO of 4759', if we are successful
the well out to TO.

Are there any special forms or sundry notices, both state and federal that need to be

Nevada does not allow gas release to air except when required for safety reasons and with approval by the Division.
During normal drilling we rarely encounter problematic gas concentrations. BlM onshore orders require flare systems
for consuming all gas. You might check with BlM on the specifics.

Thank you Christy. Is it permitted to vent the gas to atmosphere while drilling?

Pluto 27-1 Well

Christy,
Good morning. As you can read from our daily drilling reports, we have encountered some gas after penetrating the
Chainman Shale. The gas is being brought to surface because of the underbalanced drilling operation (aerated mud
system). In a typical over balanced system the drilling fluid hydrostatic pressure would prevent any gas, except for the
small amount contained in the drilled cuttings, from entering the mud system. Because of the underbalanced operation
we will need to install a larger underbalanced drilling separator to safely separate the liquid from the gas and air.
Additionally the gas and air will be sent to a flare stack (with spark arrestor) so that any combustible mixture will be
ignited and burned. As a contingency a burn pit will be constructed including a flare line to allow by-passing the flare
stack if needed.
Are there any notification's or state, county or agency permits required for approval to flare of the gas while drilling the
well?

I have included a copy of the email to Lisa Smith, Permitco, who helps with any permitting that may be needed.
Thanks,
Gary

Gary,

Flaring the gas, using all best practices for control, is permitted within the drilling permit. Please note that wild fire in

Nevada is of extreme concern, you must take all precautions to eliminate the threat of fire which includes:

RE: Pluto 27-1 reports required

Gary and Sheila,

We have not received the required completion and plugging reports nor the mud log (2 copies)

for the Pluto 27-1 well.


.

PXP is out of compliance on this well and will not be allowed any further activity in the

state until this is taken care of. Further there are punitive fines which could be imposed.

Please take the necessary steps to relay the required reports and mud log to this office as

soon as possible.

Nevada appreciates your interest in our oil industry and wishes to continue a cordial working

relationship. We trust PXP to fulfill the terms of their drilling permit as has always been

the case 1n the past.

If there are extraordinary circumstances which prohibits Plains from meeting the terms of

their permit please contact this office immediately to discuss.

If you have sent the required items and we have passed in the mail, I apologize for this

reminder.

Sincerely,

Christy l. Morris

Proposed Action Titleffype: Pluto Federal 27-1 I Sundry Notice


Location of Proposed Action: Robinson Summit, White Pine County, NV

T. 18 N., R. 61 E., Section 27


Description' of Proposed Action:

Plains Exploration & Production Co. has submitted a Sundry Notice to increase the size of the
well location pad that was authorized in the DRlFONS~ dated March 21,2007, for
.
Environmental Assessment # NV-040-06-057. The hole location would not be moved. This
increase is needed to accommodate a larger drill rig than previously anticipated and to provide
room for the placement of the increased amount of grubbed trees and topsoil stockpiles.
Disturbance would increase by 2.1 acres, from 2.4 acres to 4.5 acres. The expansion would fit
into the area previously inventoried for cultural resources and the other resources analyzed in the
EA. No additional data collection would be necessary. The estimated disturbance for the
proposed action consists of:

Eagle Exploration, Inc would follow the same conditions of approval that were issued for the
original APD. Archeologists would still be on site to monitor for possible buried cultural
features.
Plan Conformance

The Proposed Action is in conformance with the Proposed Egan Resource Management Plan
(R.:.\1P) and Final Environmental Impact Statement (PElS), September 21, 1984, which states
the public lands shall remain open and available for mineral exploration and development
unless withdrawal or other administrative action is clearly justified in the national interest" (page

15). The Egan Resource Management Plan: Oil and Gas Leasing Amendment and Record of
Decision, May 1994, specifically incorporates oil and gas leasing into the land use plan.
The White Pine County Land Use Plan (LUP) (May 1998) does not specifically address oil and
gas leasing. However, the proposed action is consistent with this LUP, which encourages
exploration and development for mineral resources.
Plan of Operations

The proposal is designed in conformance with all bureau standards and incorporates appropriate best
management practices, required and designed mitigation measures determined to reduce the effects on the
environment.
A surface use plan of operations describing all proposed surface-disturbing activities has been reviewed
and is approved pursuant to Section 17 of the Mineral Leasing Act, as amended.
Compliance with the Energy Policy Act .of 2005

The proposed activity has been determined to be statutorily categorically excluded from NEPA
documentation in accordance with Section 390 of the National Energy Policy Act of 2005. The proposed
action falls within the parameters of category number 1.
Individual surface disturbances ofless than five (5) acres so long as the total surface disturbance on
the lease is IIOt greater than 150 acres and site-specific analysis in a document prepared pursuant to
NEPA has been previously completed..
The proposed increase in disturbance for this ex is 2.1 acres. A total project disturbance of4.2
acres was authorized in the DRlFONSI. dated March 21, 2007. for Environmental Assessment #

NV-040-06-057. The revised project disturbance would tota16.3 acres.


There is no other lease related disturbance on the lease.
Decision and Rationale on Action

r have decided to authorize the increase in pad distW'bance as requested through Sundry Notice submitted
by Plains Exploration on April 3, 2007. The Conditions of Approval (COAs) specified in the approved

Application to Drill for Pluto Federal 27-1 remain unchanged. These COAs and/or tenns and conditions
provide justification for this decision and may not be segregated from project implementation without
further NEPA review. In addition, I have reviewed the plan confonnance statement and have determined
that the proposed activity is in confonnance with the applicable land use plan(s). Further, I have
reviewed the proposal to ensure the appropriate exclusion category as described in Section 390 of the
'Energy Policy Act 0[2005 has been correctly applied. It is my determination that no further
environmental analysis is required.

depth. A minimum of two 15 milliliter sets of cuttings per sampling interval must be cleaned, dried, and placed in 3"

x 5" sample envelopes, properly identified and sent prepaid to the Nevada Bureau of Mines and Geology (NBMG)

University of Nevada, Reno, Mail Stop 178, Reno, Nevada 89557-0088. You may contact David Davis at (775)

784-6694 x 133.

Note: the cuttings are not to be sent to the Division of Minerals. The cuttings are due within 15 days of completion

of the well. The operator will be responsible for the cost of any further handling of the samples by the NBMG

required to meet standards set out in this pennit condition.

18. Two copies of all logs run on the well and where possible, one copy of the computed logs in electronic format
such as LAS or PDF are to be submitted to the NDOM within 30 days of the date of being run.
19. All BOPE tests of 5000 psi or greater shall be conducted by an independent contractor. Test charts and test
results are to be submitted to the Bureau of Land Management within 48 hrs. of completion of the test.

Site Specific Conditions of Approval


20. As well as the following site specific conditions of approval listed below, surface operations will follow the
Swface Operating Standards and Guidelines for Oil and Gas Exploration. the Gold Book, and the Conditions of
Approval (COAs) contained in the Egan Resource Management Plan. Oil and Gas Leasing Amendment and Record
ofDecision (also found in Appendix 2 of the EA).
21. During pad construction, all available topsoil will be salvaged and stockpiled separately from any other material.
The topsoil will be seeded immediately with the attached interim seed mix in order to stabilize the soil and help
prevent the establisrunent of invasive and non-native weeds. An additional interim seeding may be required.
22. Pad reclamation will consist of recontouring, ripping, re-spreading the topsoil, and reseeding with the attached
final seed mixture which should be planted between October 1 and March 15. Perfonnance standards for
revegetation success are that the reclaimed area will have at least 100% of the perennial canopy cover of the existing
adjacent plant cover. The site will be evaluated by the Ely BLM for vegetative progress after at least one full
growing season. Ifnot successful, the BLM reclamation specialist will review the reclamation procedures with the
operator to decide on the best course of action to achieve success.
23. Access road construction will include salvaging the top 12" of topsoil, where available, in a windrow along the
edge of the road and immediately seeding it with the same interim seed mixture as used for the pad. Final
reclamation will be similar to that for the location pad: regarding, ripping the road surface, recovering with the
salvaged topsoil, and final seeding. All of the newly constructed road will be reclaimed, unless the water well is not
plugged and abandoned. (See #30, below.) The widened portion of the existing access road will be reclaimed back
to width of the existing the 2-track road to provide continuing access to the spring and private property farther up the
canyon.
24. Gravel used for pad or access road construction may be placed only after the underlying topsoil has been
salvaged. It may be removed prior to regrading and ripping or left to be incorporated in the reclamation procedures
outlined above.
25. The operator will be responsible for complete control of any noxious weeds that become established within the
project area during the life of this project through final reclamation. This would include the responsibility for control
of noxious weeds along the access roads, pad location, and any gravel sources. Noxious and invasive weeds, which
may be introduced due to soil disturbance and reclamation, will be treated by methods to be approved by the
authorized officer. Bond release is contingent upon the absence of noxious weeds.
26. The operator will be responsible for taking steps to mitigate the spread or increased densities of noxious and
invasive weeds that result from implementation of the proposed action. The operator will implement the Ely Field
Office Noxious Weed Prevention Schedule and SOPs for weed treatments, with special emphasis on the following
actions. Prior to entering the site. all construction, drilling equipment, and vehicles will be washed do\m and
cleaned to prevent the importation of noxious weed seeds from prior places of work. Vehicles will stay on roads and
avoid driving through any weed patches. All seeds used in reclamation will be certified weed-free. The operator

will assist in monitoring for noxious and invasive weeds during the life of the project, until reclamation is complete.
management actions for the conservation of migratory birds. A qualified wildlife biologist will survey the area for
nesting migratory birds. If any are found, operations will be postponed until after July 15.
27. An access permit will be obtained for the approach and access onto U.S. 50. For more information, contact the
NDOT District III Office at (775) 289-1700.
28. Due to the proximity to U.S. 50, Plains Exploration & Production Co. must emphasize dust control measures for
reasons of air quality, safety, and visual impacts. Operations must comply with Nevada air quality regulations.
29. An Oil & Gas exploration waiver must be obtained from the Nevada State Engineer's Office for drilling an on
site water welL A water well may be accepted by the Ely District or a permittee upon completion of operations.
Please submit the following information to the Ely District Office, Bureau of Land Management, HC 33, Box 33500,

PROPOSED CASING AND CEMENTING PROGRAMS:


a.

The proposed casing and cementing program shall be conducted as approved to protect
and/or isolate all usable water zones, potentially productive zones, lost circulation zones,
abnormally pressured zones, and any prospectively valuable deposits of minerals. Any
isolating medium other than cement shall receive approval prior to use. The casing setting
depth shall be calculated to position the casing seat opposite a competent formation which
will contain the maximum pressure to which it will be exposed during normal drilling
operations. Determination of casing setting depth shall be based on all relevant factors,
including; presence/absence of hydrocarbons; fracture gradients; usable water zones;
formation pressures; lost circulation zones; other minerals; or other unusual characteristics.

ACCESS ROADS TO BE CONSTRUCTED AND RECONSTRUCTED


a.

There will be approximately 0.3 miles of existing access road to be upgraded and 0.3 miles
of new access to be constructed.

b.

The new access road will be constructed as a flat bladed road. Surfacing material will be
placed along the new access to a depth of approximately 4 inches. The running surface of
the road will be a minimum of 14 feet with a maximum disturbed width of 32 feet.

c.

Approximately 2 or 3turnouts will be constructed along the proposed route to allow traffic to
pass safely.

d.

Where the approach leaves Highway 50, it will be modified to meet NDOT standards. The
approach will meet the highway at a 90 degree angle. For the protection of the Old Lincoln
Highway (which parallels Highway 50 on the west side), the approach will be constructed by
placing a minimum of 4" of fill material over the Old Highway road bed. This will prevent
damage to the old road bed. In addition - approximately 6inches of gravel will be placed on
the fill material covering the Old Lincoln Highway. No topsoil will be removed from the old
road bed.

e.

Afterthe road crosses through the Highway fence line -the remainder of the road construction
will include salvaging the top 12" of topsoil in a windrow along the edge of the road and
immediately seeding it with the same interim seed mixture as used for the pad. Reclamation
will be similar to that for the location pad: regarding, ripping the road surface, recovering with
the salvaged topsoil, and final seeding.

1.

Gravel used for pad or access road construction may be placed only after the underlying
topsoil has been salvaged. It may be removed prior to regrading and ripping or left to be
incorporated in the reclamation procedures outlined above.

g.

Culverts, when deemed necessary by the location contractor, will be installed during
construction.

WELLSITE LAYOUT
a.

Prior to any removal of topsoil along the access road or on the wellpad, snow will be removed
and stockpiled adjacent to the road bed or well pad.

b.

Any large trees will be cut prior to construction. The remainder of the trees will be pushed off
and stockpiled adjacent to the wellpad. These trees will be saved for use in final reclamation.

c.

The operator will be responsible for taking steps to mitigate the spread or increased densities
of invasive weeds that result from implementation of the proposed action. The operator will
implement the Ely Field Office Noxious Weed Prevention Schedule and SOPs for weed
treatments, with special emphasis on the following actions. Prior to entering the site, all
construction, drilling equipment, and vehicles will be washed down and cleaned to prevent
the importation of noxious weed seeds from prior places of work. Vehicles will stay on roads
and avoid driving through any weed patched. All seeds used in reclamation will be certified
weed-free. The operator will assist in monitoring for noxious and invasive weeds during the
life of the project, until reclamation is complete.

d.

The top 12" of topsoil, where available, from pad construction will be salvaged, stockpiled
separately from any other material. The topsoil will be seeded immediately with the interim
seed mix in order to stabilize the soil and help prevent the establishment of invasive and non
native weeds. An additional interim seeding may be required.

e.

Cut slopes and fill slopes will be no steeper than 2:1.

f.

Cuts and fills and cross sections are also shown on the location layout.

g.

The location of the reserve pit, with respect to the pad and other facilities is shown on the
location layout.

h.

A 12 mil plastic liner will be installed in the reserve pit to prevent loss of drilling fluids through
seepage.

i.

For the protection of livestock and wildlife, all pits containing toxic liquids will be fenced with
3-strands of barbed wire with one strand of smooth wire on the bottom. For the protection
of migrating waterfowl, the pits will be flagged overhead during migration periods. Any oil on

the surface of the pit will be burned off, or otherwise removed. In addition, white flagging will
be tied on the top wire of the reserve pit fencing.

10.

RECLAMATION OF SURFACE

a.

The rathole and mousehole will be filled in imrnediately after the rig is removed.

b.

Interim seeding will be done as soon as possible on any topsoil piles or windrow piles. A
seed mixture for interim reclamation will be provided by the BlM.

b.

Pad reclamation will consist of recontouring, ripping, re-spreading the topsoil, and reseeding
with the final seed mixture which should be planted between October 1 and March 15.
Performance standards for revegetation success are that the reclaimed area will have at least
100% oft the perennial canopy cover of the existing adjacent plant cover. The site will be
evaluated by the Ely BlM for vegetative progress after at least one full growing season. If not
successful, the BlM reclamation specialist will review the reclamation procedures with the
operator to decide on the best course of action to achieve success.

c.

The operator or his contractor will contact the Bureau of land Management in Ely, Nevada
(775) 289-1800, 48 hours prior to commence of site reclamation work and upon completion
of restoration measures.

d.

All disturbed areas will be recontoured to conform as near as possible to the natural contour.
This includes removing all berms and backfilling all cuts.

e.

All disturbed areas will be ripped in both directions (criss-cross) to break up the compacted
soils. The stockpiled topSOil will be evenly spread over the disturbed area.

f.

The operator will be responsible for complete control of any noxious weeds that become
established within the project area during the life of this project through final reclamation. This
would include the responsibility for control of noxious weeds along the access roads, pad
location, and any water and gravel sources.

g.

Noxious and invasive weeds, which may be introduced due to soil disturbance and
reclamation, will be treated by methods to be approved by the authorized officer. These
methods may include biological, mechanical, cultural or chemical. Should chemical methods
be approved, the lessee must submit a Pesticide Use Proposal to the authorized officer 60

A Notice of Intent to Abandon and a Subsequent Report of Abandonment will be submitted


for abandonment approval. A Final Abandonment Notice must be submitted when the
rehabilitation is complete and the new vegetation is established.

i.

If the well is plugged and abandoned, the surface casing will be cut off three (3) feet below
reclaimed ground surface (with a metal plate affixed to the top. The metal plate will be
inscribed with the operator's name, well number, well location (1/4 1/4, Section, TownShip,

PRESSURE CONTROL EQUIPMENT: (SCHEMATIC ATTACHED)


Plains Exploration and Production Company's minimum specifications for pressure control equipment
are as follows:
Ram Type: Hydraulic double w/annular - 5000 p~iw.p.

':::JfV\,

Ram type preventers and associated equipment shall be tested to approved stack working pressure
if isolated by test plug or to 70 percent of internal yield pressure of casing if BOP stack is not isolated
from casing. Pressure shall be maintained for at least 10 minutes or until requirements of test are met,
whichever is longer. If a test plug is utilized no bleed-off pressure is acceptable. For a test not
utilizing atest plug, if adecline in pressure of more than 10 percent in 30 minutes occurs, the test shall '~
be considered to have failed. Valve on casing head below test plug shall be open during test of BOP
stack.
Annular type preventers (if used) shall be tested to 50 percent of rated working pressure. Pressure
shall be maintained at least 10 minutes or until provisions of test are met, whichever is longer.
As a minimum, the above test shall be performed:
a.
when initially installed;
b.
whenever any seal subject to test pressure is broken
c.
following related repairs; and
d.
at 30-day intervals
Valves shall be tested from working pressure side during BOPE tests with all down stream valves
open.
When testing the kill line valve(s) the check valve shall be held open or the ball removed.
Annular preventers shall be functionally operated at least weekly.
Pipe and blind rams shall be activated each trip, however, this function need not be performed more
than once a day.
A BOPE pit level drill shall be conducted weekly for each drilling crew.
Pressure tests shall apply to all related well control equipment.
All of the above described tests and/or drills shall be recorded in the drilling log.

The choke manifold, BOP extension rods and hand wheels will be located outside the substructure.
The hydraulic BOP closing unit will be located at least 100 feet from the wellh.~~~ with the remote
control unit on the rig floor. The casing head and BOP will be flanged 5l QOO psi wl0 Kill line will be
2" Ld. with burst pressure rating of at least 3,000 psi. These items will be pressure tested concurrently
with BOP's. The BOP will be tested whentne stack is first installed on the well. It will also be tested
at each casing shoe and at least every 30 days. BOP and choke manifold sizes will be in accordance
with API-RP-53 as per the attached. See attached schematic of choke manifold.

4.

a.

The size and rating of the BOP stack is shown on the attached diagram.

b.

Achoke line and a kill line are to be properly installed. The kill line is not to be used as a
fill-up line.

c.

The accumulator system shall have apressure capacity to provide for repeated operation of
hydraulic preventers.
-./

d.

Drill string safety valve{s), to fit all drill string connections in use, are to be maintained on the
rig floor while drilling operations are in progress.

PROPOSED CASING AND CEMENTING PROGRAMS:


a.

The proposed casing and cementing program shall be conducted as approved to protect
and/or isolate all usable water zones, potentially productive zones, lost circulation zones,
abnormally pressured zones, and any prospectively valuable deposits of minerals. Any
isolating medium other than cement shall receive approval prior to use. The casing setting
depth shall be calculated to pOSition the casing seat opposite a competent formation which
will contain the maximum pressure to which it will be exposed during normal drilling
operations. Determination of casing setting depth shall be based on all relevant factors,
including; presence/absence of hydrocarbons; fracture gradients; usable water zones;
formation pressures; lost circulation zones; other minerals; or other unusual characteristics.
All indications of usable water shall be reported.

b.

Casing design shall assume formation pressure gradients of 0.44 to 0.5 psi per foot for
exploratory wells (lacking better data).

c.

Casing design shall assume fracture gradients from 0.70 to 1.00 psi per foot for exploratory
wells (lacking better data).

RE: Plains Exploration and Production Company, Applications to Drill PXP Pancake Summit 21-1 and
PXP Pluto 27-1, White Pine County, NV
Ms. Langmacher:
TIlls office has received and reviewed the subject permit applications. We are in receipt of a letter from
the BLM Nevada State Office referencing a number of deficiencies in these applications. The Division
must advise you of additional correction to the applications which must me made:

Suiface Use Plan, WeI/site Layout, (i) Any oil on the suiface ofthe pit will be burned off, or otherwise
removed.

In accordance with NAC 445B.22067 Open buming. (NRS 4458.210)


1. The open burning of any combustible refuse. waste, garbage or oil, or for any salvage operations,
except as specifically exempted, is prohibited.
Under no circumstances will open burning of oil be permitted. Normal procedure is to recover the oil I
sediment in the pit for secondary recovery or disposal at a qualified facility. Please change these
programs to reflect this regulation.
Further, certain conditions of approval will be attached to your permit regarding notifications, reporting
and sampling which was not addressed in your applications. Please review these conditions carefully
when you receive your permit.
Give me a call should you have any questions.
Sincerely,

.C~-, /
