Dear Lisha:
Reference is made to the Moon Ridge Federal 31-21 well which was originallypermitted by
National Fuel Corporation, then taken over and drilled by EOG Resources, Inc. (EOG), the current
approved operator, at a location 1,052' FNL, 1763' FEL (NW/4NE/4)of Section 21-168-21E, SLM,
Grand County, Utah. As a resultof mechanlcaldifficulties,EOG willhave to P&A said we1Iand is
planning to skId the drillingrlg approximately 30' southwest sometimethis weekend to rediluthis Well,
As we discussed during our telephone conversation this aftemoon,EOG plans to redrillthis well
(mnamed the Moon Ridge Federal 31-21X) at a new surveyed location 1,077 FNL, 1,770' FEL
(NWl4NE/4) of Section 21-168-21E, SLM, Grand County, Utah (see copyof survey plat enclosed). This
new well location, like the originallocation, is not withinthe legal window prescribed in General Rule

At the aforementionedsurveyed location, the Moon Ridge Federal 31-21X is not closer than
920' to any other wells. Within a 460' radius of said location, EOG Is the only operator and National
Fuel Corporationis the onlyowner underFederal Lease UTU-72365 whichcoversAll of Section 21168-21E, SLM, Grand County, Utah, and other lands.
If you have any questions or need anything further, please contactthe undersigned. Otherwise,

RE:
Exception Location Request
Moon Ridge Federal 31-21X
NWl4NE/4 of Section 21-168-21E
Grand County, Utah
Dear Lisha:
Reference is made to the Moon Ridge Federal 31-21 well which was originally permitted by
National Fuel Corporation, then taken over and drilled by EOG Resources, Inc. (EOG), the current
approved operator, at a location 1,052' FNL, 1753' FEL (NWl4NE/4) of Section 21-168-21E, SLM,
Grand County, Utah. As a result of mechanical difficulties, EOG will have to P&A said well and is
planning to skid the drilling rig approximately 30' southwest sometime this weekend to redrill this well.
As we discussed during our telephone conversation this afternoon, EOG plans to redrill this well
(renamed the Moon Ridge Federal 31-21X) at a new surveyed location 1,077' FNL, 1,770' FEL
(NWl4NEl4) of Section 21-168-21E, SLM, Grand County, Utah (see copy of survey plat enclosed). This
new well location, like the original location, is not within the legal window prescribed in General Rule
R649-3-2 due to topographicreasons.
At the aforementioned surveyed location, the Moon Ridge Federal 31-21X is not closer than
920' to any other wells. Within a 460' radius of said location, EOG is the only operator and National
Fuel Corporation is the only owner under Federal Lease UTU-72365 which covers All of Section 21168-21E, SLM, Grand County, Utah, and other lands.
If you have any questions or need anything further, please contact the undersigned. Otherwise,
we respectfully request your immediate approval of EOG's request to skid the rig and drill at this new
exception location.
Yours very truly,
Toni Lei Miller

blowout preventer will be installed, used, maintained and tested in accordance with
all requirements specified in Section III.A-1 of Onshore Order 2, except where
variations are presented in.this application.
Minimum standards outlined in Onshore Order 2 will be met for BOP, choke,
manifold, accumulator, and locking devices. Hydraulic controls will be located on
the rig floor. Manual controls will be handwheels. Remote control for the
accumulator will be 100'-200' from the drill hole. The kill line will not be used as a
fill-up line.
Ram type preventers and associated equipment (choke manifold, kelly cocks, etc.)
shall be pressure tested to 100% of their rated working pressure for a period of 10
minutes. Annular preventers shall be tested to 50% of their rated working pressure
for a period of 10 minutes. Tests will be run after initial iristallation, prior to drilling
out of each casing shoe and after use under pressure, or a minimum of once every 30
days. Pipe rams will be operationally checked each 24 hour period, as will blind rams
and annular preventer each time pipe is pulled out of the hole. Annular preventers
will be functionally operated at least weekly. Such checks of BOPE will be noted on

1. Other:
Surface disturbance and vehicular travel will be limited to the approved location and access
road. Any additional area needed must be approved by the Area Manager in advance.
If a right-of-way is necessary, no surface disturbing activities shall take place on the subject
right-of-way until the associated APD is approved. The holder will adhere to conditions of
approval in the Surface Use Program of the approved APD, relevant to any right-of-way
facilities.
If a right-of-way is secured, boundary adjustments in the lease or unit shall automatically
amend this right-of-way to include that portion of the facility no longer contained within the
lease or unit. In the event of an automatic amendment to this right-of-way grant, the prior onlease/unit conditions of approval of this facility will not be affected even though they would
now apply to facilities outside of the lease/unit as a result of a boundary adjustment. Rental
fees, if appropriate, shall be recalculated based on the conditions of this grant and the
regulations if effect at the time of an automatic amendment.
If at any time the facilities located on public lands authorized by the terms of the lease are no
longer included in the lease (due to a contraction in the unit or other lease or unit boundary

Topsoil along the access road will be reserved in a place adjacent to the road.
Immediately upon completion of drilling, all equipment that is not necessary for production
shall be removed.
The reserve pit and that portion of the locatiori not needed for production will be reclaimed.
Before any d,irt work to restore the location takes place, the reserve pit must be
completely
dry.
All road surfàcing will be removed prior to the rehabilitation of roads.
Reclaimed roads will have the berms and cuts reduced and will be closed to vehicle
use.
All disturbed areas will be recontoured to replicate the natural slope.
The stockpiled topsoil will be evenly distributed over the disturbed area.
Prior to reseeding, all disturbed areas, including
with a rough surface.
the access roads, will be scarified and left
Seed will be broadcast or drilled between Oct. 1 and Dec. 31, or at a time
specified by the

filed as an attachment to this APD when completed.
The operator is responsible for informing all persons in the area who are associated with
th.is project that they will be subject to prosecution for knowingly disturbing historic or
archaeological sites, or for co11ecting artifacts. If historic or archaeological materials
are
uncovered during construction, the operator is to immediately stop work that might
further disturb such materials, and contact the authorized officer (AO). Within five (5)
working days, the AO will inform the operator as to:
-
-
whether the materials appear eligible for the National Register of Historic
Places;
the mitigationmeasuresthe operator will likely have to undertake before the
site can be used (assuming in situ preservation is not necessary); and
-
a time frame for the AO to complete an expedited review under 36 CFR
§
800.11 to confirm, through the State Historic Preservation Officer, that the
findings of the AO are correct and that mitigation is appropriate.
If the operator wishes, at any time, to relocate activities to avoid the expense
of
mitigation and/or the delays associated with this process, the AO will assume
responsibility for whatever recordation and stabilization of the exposed materials
may be
required. Otherwise, the operator will be responsible for mitigation costs. The
AO will
provide technical and procedural guidelines for the conduct of mitigation. Upon
verification from the AO that the required mitigation has been completed, the operator
will then be allowed to resume
