Solicitation No: 140L0621Q0008 – Amendment 0001 Questions & Answers

Question and Answers

#1 THE 50FT X 50FT SITE IS TOO SMALL FOR DRILL RIG AND RIG TENDER THAT CARRYS THE DRILL PIPE.

THE SMALLEST SITE THAT WOULD WORK FOR AIR DRILLING 50FT X 90FT.

#2 WE DRILLED A WELL IN THE 1980’S AT THE TOWERS EAST OF THE PICNIC AREA. WE DRILLED IT W/ A CABLE TOOL RIG. THE HOLE WOULD NOT STAY OPEN AND WE HAD TO DRIVE STEEL CASING AS WE

DRILLED.

THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THE HOLE MAY NOT STAY OPEN W/ AIR ROTARY DRILLING AND HAVE TO BE DRILLED W/ROTARY MUD. WE REALLY WON’T KNOW TILL WE DRILL, BUT THERE IS A 50/50 CHANCE

THAT MUD DRILLING WILL HAVE TO BE USED.

IF SO; YOU WOULD DRILL THE HOLE AND INSTALL THE CASING W/THE DRILL MUD IN THE HOLE. GRAVEL PACK AND THEN DEVELOP THE WELL. YOU WOULD HAVE TO GO OFF OF THE GEOLOGY OF THE CUTTING TO MAKE A

DECISION WHETHER TO RUN CASING OR ABANDON.

#3 IF DRILL MUD HAD TO BE USED, THE PAD SIZE WOULD HAVE TO INCREASE FROM THE AIR/ ROPTARY SIZE

TO ALLOW SPACE FOR THE ABOVE GROUND MUD PITS AND SHAKER.

1. CAN DRILL MUD BE USED IF AIR ROTARY WILL NOT KEEP THE HOLE OPEN?

Response: Yes.

2. CAN THE PAD SIZE BE INCREASED TO ALLOW FOR THE EQUIPMENT?

Response: Yes. 125' x 125' will be allowed.
