the guy locations fall off the edge of the enclosed sketches. I'm not sure how your road
layout will look, but if the anchors are across a road, that road would have to be closed while
a rig was working.
2. I'm not sure how many access points Whiting would have to the pad. All of the enclosed
sketches except for "E-1" should require only one access. Multiple access points may allow
us to minimize the pad area.
3. In these pad sketches Dale and I intended the entire pad area would be used for equipment
driving and parking. The landscaping would be outside.
4. Some of the pad designs have wells in the center and some closer to the sides. We are not
sure just where you plan to locate roads and homes so we're not sure what impact location
of wells within the pad area will have on safety setback distances.
5. Dale and I are accustomed to think about rectangular pads. I think you are considering a
circle girded by a road. In most cases corners on our drawings can be rounded off.
Very truly yours,

Re: Hoffman P.U.D. Planning Items
Flowline Locations and 30-2 Well Pad
Dear Mr. Sell:
This letter is -written to follow-up on items # 1 and 7 in the minutes of our October 27th meeting.
Per item #7, Dale has marked the route of Whiting's pipelines which service our southernmost wells
with yellow wood stakes. Dale and I thought it would be best for you or your representative to see
the actual location on the ground because of the potential errors in going from our unsurveyed maps.
I understand that you viewed the pipeline routes on November 14th. Dale is available for additional
questions and a walkover if necessary; he tells me that his stakes are accurate to about a foot.
Dale and I have made numerous plats to figure out possible layouts for the 30-2 and 30-14 well pad
area; this is item #1 on our meeting minutes. Enclosed are some of our sketches. Please give me
your thoughts, and let me know of any other arrangements you think might be more compatible with
your development plans; I have some paper cutouts that I can rearrange on a grid. I intend to show
the best arrangements we produce to the Oil & Gas Commission for their input; for this I will need
to include details such as location of streets and homes. The following items should be considered
in our location planning:
1. Anchors for workover rigs need to be located in a four spot pattern around each well. To
be safe the upwind (northwest) anchors should be at least 90' from the well; the other anchors
should be at least 70' from the well. These anchors have large steel eyelets sticking out of
ground surface for attachment of steel cable guy lines to the top of the workover rigs. We
can countersink the anchor eyelets below ground level and enclose them in a.box which
includes'a movable access hatch flush with ground surface. We will need to have unimpeded
access to the anchors on the rig side for a large truck in order to conduct periodic safety pull
tests. The locations of the anchors or guys is indicated on the attached sketches; some. of the
pad sites include most of the anchors within their boundaries and some don't; also, some of
