Cause No. 191-08

COMES NOW, Running Foxes Petroleum Corporation, a/k/a Running Foxes Petroleum,

Inc. (“Running Foxes”), acting by and through its attorneys, Lear & Lear, PLLC, and pursuant to

Utah Code Ann. §§40-6-5(3)(c), 40-6-5(5), 40-6-7(1) and 59-5-102(7), and Utah Admin. Code

Rules R649-3-37 and R649-5-1 et seq., and hereby respectfully requests the Board of Oil, Gas

and Mining (the “Board”) to enter an order: (1) conditionally approving the conversion of the

The stratigraphic equivalent of the interval between 1, 518 feet and 1, 530 feet as

shown on the Dual Induction Log of the TXO 14-2 Well, located 300 feet FSL

and 820 feet FWL in the SW¼SW¼ of Section 14, T20S, R23E, SLM,

(the “Subject Formation”), within the SW¼SW¼ of Section 14, Township 20 South, Range 23

East, SLM (the “Project Area”), and certifying the waterflood operations within the Project Area

as an “Enhanced Recovery Project.”

In support of this request, Running Foxes respectfully states and represents:

1. Running Foxes is a Colorado corporation with its principal place of business in

Centennial, Colorado. Running Foxes is duly qualified to conduct business in the State of Utah,

and is fully and appropriately bonded with all relevant Federal and State of Utah agencies.

2. The oil and gas within the Project Area is owned by the United States of America

and is subject to United States Oil and Gas Lease UTU-44440 (the “Lease”) administered by the

Bureau of Land Management. Running Foxes is the current Lessee under the Lease and the sole

owner of the operating rights in the Subject Formation and the Project Area. There are no other

production interest owners in the Lease as to the Subject Formation and Project Area other than

the United States and Running Foxes.

3. There currently are three (3) oil wells located within the Project Area, all operated

by Running Foxes:

a) The TXO 14-1 (the “14-1 Well”), located 820 feet FSL and 660 feet FWL in the

SW¼SW¼ of subject Section 14, is a currently producing oil well in the Subject

Formation;

Page 3: F I L E D - fs.ogm.utah.gov · 2. The oil and gas within the Project Area is owned by the United States of America and is subject to United States Oil and Gas Lease UTU-44440 (the

-3-

b) The TXO 14-2 Well (the “14-2” Well), located 300 feet FSL and 820 feet FWL in

the SW¼SW¼ of subject Section 14, is a currently shut-in oil well but with

perforated intervals in the Subject Formation; and

c) The 14-3 Well, located 275 feet FSL and 420 feet FWL in the SW¼SW¼ of

Section 14, has always been and currently remains a shut-in oil well.

The Wells were drilled by Running Foxes’ predecessor in title in accordance with the Board’s

Order entered in Cause No. 102-16B entered on November 15, 1979.

4. A plat reflecting the location of these wells, along with wells within a one-half

mile radius of the 14-3 Well (the proposed injection well), is attached hereto as Exhibit “1” and

by this reference incorporated herein. Running Foxes operates all other oil and gas wells within

the one-half mile radius. Based on an on-line search of the Utah State Engineer’s records, there

are no water wells located within the one-half mile radius. The United States owns all of the

surface within the one-half mile radius except the SE¼ of Section 14, which is owned by San

Arroyo Livestock LLC.

5. Production from the 14-1 and 14-2 Wells is currently at stripper well levels due to

depressurization of the Dakota reservoir. Running Foxes proposes to re-pressurize the reservoir

from a down-dip position by converting the 14-3 Well to an injection well and pushing the

petroleum to recovery from the 14-1 and 14-2 Wells through waterflood operations in the

Subject Formation. Running Foxes believes and therefore alleges that the proposed waterflood

may potentially increase the daily oil production rate by three to five times.

-4-

6. Based on geologic analysis conducted by Running Foxes and others, the Dakota

sandstone reservoirs tend to be isolated traps. The sandstone reservoirs present in the 14-1, 14-2

and 14-3 Wells are not connected to adjacent wells perforated in similar sands. The Subject

Formation is confined both above and below by thick shales which, at the proposed injection

rates outlined in Paragraph 6 below, will not be breached. A type log is attached hereto as

Exhibit “2” and by this reference incorporated herein.

7. Running Foxes will shortly be filing an UIC-1 Form application with the Utah

Division of Oil, Gas and Mining (the “Division”) to convert the 14-3 Well to a Class II injection

well for enhanced recovery purposes, with proposed injection intervals in the Subject Formation,

and with an anticipated maximum injection rate of 20 bbls./day at a maximum surface pressure

of 600/psig. Injection water will be compatible produced water primarily from the 14-1 and 14-2

wells with additional produced water from the nearby Cisco Springs B-1, Cisco Springs B-2, and

Cisco SS 15-8 wells, all operated by Running Foxes. Said application will satisfy all criteria

required under Utah Admin. Code Rule R649-5-1 et seq., and in particular Rule R649-5-2(2), for

approval of said conversion and injection. A true and correct copy of the application as

submitted to the Division will be submitted as an exhibit in this cause.

8. The Subject Formation does not constitute an “Underground Source of Drinking

Water” as the term is defined in Utah Admin. Code Rule R649-1-1.

-5-

9. The value of the estimated additional recovery of oil substantially exceeds the

estimated costs incident to conducting the proposed enhanced recovery operations.

10. The Project Area, by virtue of the proposed conversion of the 14-3 Well to a Class

II injection well for enhanced recovery of production through the 14-1 and 14-2 Wells, qualifies

as an “Enhanced Recovery Project” as defined in Utah Code Ann. §59-5-101(7) and Utah

Admin. Code Rule R649-1-1, and should be certified by the Board as such.

11. Running Foxes believes and therefore alleges that granting this Request will be in

furtherance of the public policies of this State as set forth in Utah Code Ann. §40-6-1, et seq. to

promote greater recovery of oil without waste and with protection of the correlative rights of all

affected owners, and is just and reasonable under the circumstances. Prevention of waste will

occur because the waterflood operation constitute prudent and economical operations and avoid

the unnecessary dissipation of oil and gas and reservoir energy. Correlative rights are protected

by virtue of common production interest ownership throughout the Project Area and the geologic

characteristics outlined in Paragraph 6 above.

12. Running Foxes will, in accordance with Board rules, timely submit exhibits and

present testimony in support of these allegations.

13. Running Foxes will separately file a certificate of mailing listing all parties known

to it, based on a search of the respective Federal and County realty records and the records of the

Division, whose “legally protected interests” will be affected by this Request. There are no

respondents or adverse parties known at this time to Running Foxes.

WHEREFORE, Running Foxes respectfully requests:

1. That this matter be set for hearing on June 24, 2020;

2. That notice of such hearing be given as provided by law; and

3. That, upon sufficient evidence produced and testimony given at the hearing, the

Board issue an order:

a) Presuming the Division determines the UIC application to be submitted by

Running Foxes is complete and approves the same, approving the conversion of the 14-3 Well to

a Class II injection well for purposes of injecting water for enhanced recovery in accordance

with the terms and conditions outlined in said application;

b) Approving and certifying the Project Area, by virtue of the injection of water into

the 14-3 Well for the enhanced recovery of production from the Subject Formation through the

14-1 and 14-2 Wells, as an “Enhanced Recovery Project” in accordance with Utah Code Ann.

§§40-6-7(1) and 59-5-102(7) and Utah Admin. Code Rule R649-3-37;

c) Making such findings and orders in connection with this Request as it deems

necessary; and

d) Providing for such other and further relief as may be just and equitable under the

circumstances.

Nafi Onat received Bachelor of Science (BS) and Master of Science (MS) Degrees in PetroleumEngineering from Middle East Technical University ("METU") in Ankara, Turkey. After a brief careerwith Mobil as a production engineering trainee, he joined Mineral Research and Exploration Institute("MTA"), as a Petroleum Engineer. His duties included supervision of Russian and Romanian drilling rigsoperating in Eastern Turkey under contract.

Nafi received his Ph.D. in Petroleum Engineering in 1975 from Colorado School of Mines, in Golden,Colorado, then returned to METU in Ankara, Turkey, where he taught undergraduate and graduatepetroleum engineering courses as an Assistant Professor and supervised preparation ofthesis for Master ofScience degrees.

In 1979 Nafi came back to USA and started working for Wenner Petroleum Corporation in Denver,Colorado as manager of operations. He oversaw all field operations, which involved design, supervision,and optimization of all drilling, logging, completion, testing, and production operations. After two years,Nafi was promoted to Vice President, Engineering, and he supervised the company's operations inMichigan, Ohio, Texas, Colorado, and Tennessee for the account of several oil companies and drillingfunds for whom, Wenner Petroleum acted as operator. As a project manager, he oversaw developing alarge Niagaran Reef oil and gas field from its inception to development and marketing for MichiganSeamless Tubing Company in Michigan.

In 1988 Nafi founded O, E. & P. Corporation in Englewood, Colorado and took over the operations fromWenner Petroleum Corporation. Nafi, as the President of the O. E. & P. Corporation operated Pentwaterfield in Oceana County, Michigan, and some 25 wells in Holmes and Wayne Counties, Ohio,

After nine years ofhands on experience in oil and gas fields, in 1989, Nafi turned over operations to otherlocal cornpanies and joined Resource Services International, Inc. ("RSI"), a petroleurn engineeringconsulting firm in Denver, Colorado, His responsibilities included reserves and economic analysis,comprehensive engineering studies for litigation involving hydraulic fracturing, recommendations to clientsfor optimization of field management, workover programs, coalbed methane well operations andperformance analysis. Nafi was involved with designing, supervising, and analyzing slick water and foarnfrac operations in Denver Julesburg basin CodellAtriobrara completions. He was instrumental in selectingdeeper re-entry candidates in the field for recompletion potential.

Nafi was involved with coalbed rnethane projects in San Juan and Raton Basins operated by EvergreenResources, and CBM operations in Eastern Kansas operated by Great Eastern Energy. He worked onhydraulic fracture design, reserve estimates and production optimization of the coalbed methane wells.

In September of 1997, after nine years of consulting, Nafi founded Sure Engineering, LLC ("SE"), a

consulting company specializing in petroleum and natural gas engineering. As President of SE, Nafi hascontinued his consulting work involving domestic and international conventional and coalbed methaneprojects, reserve evaluation, well cornpletion, production optimization, and simulation studies, He workedon CBM project in Black Sea coast, Turkey with Dan Oil and Harnilton Brothers, and was involved withdiscovery and development of a large shallow gas field in Thrace Basin, Turkey.

Nafi worked as an officer and director of several public companies including Star Energy Corporation, anoil and gas production company from December 1999 to June 2006 and Texhoma Energy Inc., an oil andgas production company from June 2007 to June 2009.

Nafi appeared as expert witness at the Michigan Department of Natural Resources hearing and in DallasCounty Court, Texas.

Complementing l.ris extensive experience, Nafi also is associated with group of international consultantswhojoin him in projects on as-needed basis. These associates are academics and independent consultants.

While managing Sure Engineering, Nafi also joined ONE Energy Capital in August 2009 as a director, andshortly after he became the president of ONE Energy Operating Corp., Texas. During his employmentfrom 2009 until 201 I as the president and petroleum engineer ofthe company, his responsibilities includedoil and gas prospect evaluation for acquisitions, operating and managing company's oil wells, preparingworkover operations and determining re-entry and recompletion potential of the existing marginal wells.He resigned from ONE Energy International on March 22,2011 to be able to focus on his own consultingprojects. Since his departure he has been consulting several companies involved with oil and gas projectsin Kansas, Colorado, and Wyoming.

Nafi is a member of Society of Petroleum Engineers ("SPE") and resides in Centennial, Colorado.

rnfrtilRunning Foxes Petroleum was surveyed by lnnospec Oilfield Services (lOS), lnc. The foF

lowing are the findings of that survey and the resulting chemicaltreatments

Analytical Procedure

The procedure utilized in this survey was designed to evaluate all constituents that could

reduce the efficiency of the system. Complete water analysis was performed on each sample

taken. Key fluid properties, such as pH, dissolved gases, bicarbonate, and total iron were deter-

mined in the field for accuracy. Computer modeling software was used in order to determine thepotential for calcium carbonate, calcium sulfate, and barium sulfate scale from each sarnpled

fluid.Bacterial inoculation studies were gompleted according to API procedures using a serial

dilution and incubation method. These tests were completed on each fluid sampled to determine

the presence and concentration of sulfate reducing, acid producing, and aerobic bacteria.

@Discussion - Water Analysis

Water samples were obtained from three wells. Bacterial inoculations, along with fluidpH, dissolved gas analyses, bicarbonate ion, and iron readings were determined on site. The re-

maining analyses were completed in the Fruita, CO technical services laboratory.

Dissolved HzS & COz

The results of the water analyses indicate that the vast majority of the wells contained

at least a trace amount of dissolved CO2. Dissolved CO2 has the ability to corrode surface and

subsurface production equipment and can lead to further production problems stemming fromthe formation of iron sulfide deposits.

Dissolved lron

The produced brine displays a mild to severe amount of dissolved iron. This is a measureof the total dissolved iron, which encompasses both native formation iron and that which is lostfrom production equipment. Although there is no method to accurately quantifiT native vs cor-rosion iron, the history of the producing zones, dissolved gas analysis, and bacteria inoculationstudies leads the IOS technical services staffto believe that a moderate to severe corrosionproblem exists.

Microbially lnduced Corrosion (MlCl

Bacteria inoculation studies indicate that several wells in this area display severe bacteriagrowth patterns. The most critical strain of bacteria that historically has shown to be most prob-lematic are sulfate reducing bacteria. Sulfate reducing bacteria or SRB as they are commonly re-ferred as can be extremely corrosive to the production equipment which is due in part to thedevelopment of localized bacteria colonies along pipe walls. SRB release HzS as a byproduct whichcan lead to the formation of iron sulfide deposits down-hole and in the surface production equip-ment. The followingtable shows the conversion between the numbers of bacteria bottlesturnedto the possible amount of bacterial colonies present within 1 mL of sample water.

Product Selection

The products recommended in this report are the result of extensive field and laboratory test-ing performed over years of continual monitoring and research, which has been combined with thework performed during this survey.

Deposit Analysis & Recommendation

The results of the deposit analysis indicate that the sample collected off TXO 14-1, and TXO

Mesa 23-1 was 100% hydrocarbon (paraffin). Upon further testing IOFS personnel discoveredthat-85% of the sample dissolved in PCO-5150 when heated to 140 "F. ln order to effectively removeparaffin from the production strin& IOFS recommends that 10 gallons of PCO-5150 be utilized totruck treat these well once every other week. PCO-5150 contains a robust solvent and dispersantpackage to aid with the removal of wax build-up within the wellbore. The treating rate will be opti-mized to 5 gallons per treatment after a 3-month period as long as no paraffin plugging issues arise.

Corrosion / Scale lnhibitor

CSW-9522 provided to be the best overall combination corrosion/ scale inhibitor chemistry forsolubility, compatibility, and water quality, and corrosion/scale control. CSW-9522 is an excellent wa-ter soluble corrosion inhibitor that provides a tenacious corrosion inhibitor film, is also effective as a

bio stat in controlling bacterially induced corrosion, and in application with high CO2 and H25 environ-ments; while as controlling the deposition of carbonate and sulfate scales downhole and in surfaceequipment. IOS recommend treatment rate @ 400 ppm continuously injected down the backside.

Biocide

After IOS has seen high bacteria count. IOS would like to determine the duration of biocidetreatments and the correct biocide , IOS will recommendation doing a bacteria kill study.

During the pendency of this action, a state of emergency has been issued as a

result of a global outbreak of the novel coronavirus disease 2019 (“COVID 19”). On

March 18, 2020, Utah Governor Gary R. Herbert issued an Executive Order suspending

strict compliance with certain provisions of Utah’s Open and Public Meetings Act as

codified in Utah Code Ann. §§ 52-4-201 et. seq. The purpose of the Executive Order was

to limit public gatherings in order to prevent, hinder and/or delay the spread of COVID

19, a highly contagious and infectious disease. The Board of Oil, Gas and Mining

(“Board”), in an effort to comply with the aforesaid Executive Order, as well as various

other directives that have been issued since, is attempting to truncate and streamline all

proceedings that come before the Board during this time. It is therefore:

Administrative Code R641 et seq. and as provided for in Utah Code Ann. § 40-6-1 et seq.

and Utah Code Ann. § 63G-4-101 through 601.

The hearing examiner will receive testimony and evidence regarding the Request

for Agency Action (the “RAA”) filed by Running Foxes Petroleum Corporation, a/k/a

Running Foxes Petroleum, Inc. (“Running Foxes”) requesting an order (1) conditionally

approving the conversion of the TXO 14-3 Well (the “14-3 Well”) to a Class II injection

officer, as well as the July 22, 2020 Public Hearing before the Board, will be conducted

entirely through electronic transmission and/or electronic means and without a public

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that in the spirit of the above-referenced March 18,

2020 Executive Order and pursuant to Utah Administrative Code R641-100-400, the

Board suspends strict compliance with certain procedural administrative rules that may

conflict with Running Foxes right to efficient and orderly administrative process and the

public’s health, safety and welfare under the present circumstances. Accordingly, the
