PURPOSE Bill Barrett Corporation (BBC) has procured the Engineering Services of Twin Eagle Consulting, LLC (TEC) to perform a technical review and analysis to determine the most optimal solution to address and resolve poor SCADA communications within the Piceance field. TEC has completed the review. This report summarizes are findings and recommended solution, TEC will provide estimated costs of product and services that relate to any proposed corrective action. Additionally, TEC will include Managed Service options upon further discussion to ‘manage/perform the initial implementation, build out and ongoing operation of the proposed implemented system, The information within this document pertains specifically to the CygNet/ROC Ethernet ‘communications system that is currently in production. TEC will consider other Ferguson assets or future expansion within the solution presented in Section 3, 2. TECHNICAL REVIEW and ANALYSIS The Technical Review paid attention to all aspects of the communication system to Include application, Wide Area Network (WAN), endpoint radio system (Field Network), and physical aspects. The following information within Section 2 will detail the findings and describe how the overall network performance Is affected by each area, 2.1 Application Review ‘The application consists of a CygNet host located at the Silt, CO office and Fisher ROC ATUs located throughout the South Piceance Basin. Based on discussions with operations personnel, we understand SCADA communications is unreliable and has many varying levels of performance from one RTU to the next. BBC requires that opcode table, trend data and volume/event data be retrieved along with control messages being sent to the Fisher ROC RTUs. The delivery mechanism is Ethernet which is prevalent throughout the network terminating at the RTU. Being that the RTUs are directly interfaced to Ethernet and are addressed via IP v4, the host directly contacts or establishes a session with the RTU. Per information provided by Gary Silverman, the CygNet host driver will establish a session for all endpoint RTUs across the network. Even though the production radio (Freewave FGR Plus} is an Ethernet radio with a 10 Mbps interface, over-the-air communication is not broadband speed. With the host's current inability to limit the number of RTUs that are immediately contacted upon initial scan sequence, all RTUs are being addressed and polled in parallel or at approximately the same time. Note that this inability will be addressed in V 7.3 of CygNet, which will be deployed over the next month or so. V7.3 has a TCP/IP Multipoint’ Driver, which provides throttling of polls through ‘virtual’ channels Analysis The first step would be to determine the number of RTUs that could be polled or contacted reliably within the scan period over a narrow band SCADA radio system, This would assume that the radio system is operating optimally. Per discussions, Gary Silverman has indicated that they are taking the necessary steps to allow CygNet to poll more effectively considering scan period.

PICEANCE FIELD The ‘virtual’ channels referenced above will be configured to achieve this goal. It was also communicated by Gary that diagnostic screens are being built on the CygNet system; this will be @ valuable tool going forward to enable proper system analysis providing a better representation of system health from the host perspective, 2.2 Wide Area Network (WAN) Review ‘The current WAN network responsible for connectivity between the host office and the gas field was observed regarding performance. The connectivity consists of a leased Point-to-Point T1 (2.544 Mbps) that terminates at the Silt office and the Mamm Creek Compressor Station. 8BC staff also indicated that outage events of this service were not common. Analysis Latency was typical for a Ti and BAC staff verified that the circuit was dedicated to SCADA communications. Bandwidth of the circuit appears sufficient for current operations (CygNet well communications). Factoring future expansion or growth, this service may become tasked or oversubscribed as well count and the need for remote management increases. If an alternate route or circuit (wireless or leased land-line) is implemented (proposed in later sections within this document), this circuit may have value serving as a backup path during outage events. A different approach to backhaul will be given within Section 3 that will offer alternate routes, minimize endpoint radio hops, and deliver higher bandwidth to meet future needs. BBC will need to minimize the utilization of the endpoint radio networks (Freewave or TransNET) for backhaul paths to and from the Silt office further reducing potential bottlenecks or capacity issues. 2.3 Endpoint Radio System (Field Network) Review * BBC utilizes the Freewave FGR Plus 900 MHz ISM (unlicensed) Ethernet radio for field connectivity of the CygNet/ROC SCADA system. Existing Ferguson field communications rely on a combination of GE MDS TransNET and 9810 900 MHz ISM (unlicensed) serial radios, These systems are co-located at a number of the field assets to include the most critical master location, Mamm Creek Compressor Station. Master radio stations and some repeater locations deploy the Maxrad 5 dB or 7 dB Omni-directional antenna. Endpoint or RTU remote locations deploy multiple manufacturer types of directional yagi antennas with gains from 3 dB to 10 dB. ‘©The network subnet's IP resource availability is adequate for the current need and could support up to approximately 762 directly addressable field devices (10,0.100.0 /21). Considering growth and needed avallability of addresses, devices that would be considered IP addressable are all radios, manageable Ethernet switches and Ethernet ‘automation equipment. ‘+ The configuration of the Freewave radio system was a static association (endpoints are ‘not allowed to hunt for signal but locked into a master or upstream repeater). This is a proper configuration in static or fixed endpoint service deployments. 5-642i1-11_B6C_PICEANCE_FiFID_COWM_REVIEW PROPOSALVE-GBS-RRWOA2IE AT Page 4 of 32 Confidential ILL BARRETT CORPORATION ~ SCADA COMMUNICATIONS REVIEW/SGLUTION OPTIONS, PICEANCE FIELD ‘© Location of the repeaters appeared to be chosen on an “as needed!” basis or reactive to field operation needs. As the architecture stands today, multiple additions of repeaters would be necessary to achieve proper signal coverage with introduction of greater latency and lower bandwidth. ‘© The field network has 2 single point of entry and failure, The entire CygNet application hhas one point of entry into the field at Mamm Creek Compressor Station, A large Portion of the field relies on a secondary repeater also known as “Circle B Repeater”. ‘The repeater configuration is a back-to-back radio device method or use of multiple gateway radios, It was learned from discussion that at one time the “Repeat” feature of the FGR radio was used (single radio repeater configuration — one radio network). With multiple gateway repeaters, each network (radios associated with gateway masters) functions independently of other radio networks. This independent operation can conflict in the use of the frequency spectrum and complicate message delivery acknowledgements or retransmissions. tis assumed that the goal of multiple gateway repeaters was not to sacrifice bandwidth if a repeater was needed. ‘+ Protocol ~ Beyond ROC protocol, the Ethernet protocol must deliver the SCADA poll or message. This message is encapsulated within the Ethernet frame which in-turn increases the radios over-the-air information. The larger size of Ethernet frames must be considered within the radio communications design to ensure the radio paths accommodate for the extra amount of bytes being sent over-the-air. This typically ‘means that higher thresholds of signal level are required. BBC has deployed a total Ethernet solution from host to RTU. Considering that BBC will remain on this type of delivery over a wide area of coverage, adequate signal coverage will be required Analysis With two applications being required to meet the immediate operational need (Ferguson and CygNet), an overall communications plan is necessary. Each application not only utilizes different protocols but requires different signal thresholds to perform optimally, Co-locations of these unique radio systems will have to be addressed until an overall converged solution is in lace. Multiple single radio repeaters must be minimized but the use of multiple gateway radio networks (back to back repeaters) should not be deployed. TEC will offer a solution that addresses the need for serial and Ethernet communications, limiting the number of hops between the master radio (field entry point) and RTU. With the combination of radio infrastructure configuration, choice of repeater locations and signal coverage planning considering Ethernet requirements; this area of review is the most likely cause of the current ‘communications issue beyond the SCADA application chalienges. 5-642 1-11_BBC_PICEANCE_ FIELD_COMM_RLVIEW PROPOSALWE-GOS-RAWE4211-17 Page 5 of 32 Contigentiat BILL BARRETT CORPORATION ~ SCADA COMMUNICATIONS REVIEW/SOLUTION OPTIONS PICEANCE FIELD 2.4 Physical Aspects Review Beyond the radio configuration, physical installation practices were reviewed to include tower structures, antenna type, antenna placement, transmission line choice and general installation practices that could affect network performance. The following information within this section will show specific items observed and report on how each contribute to current system or potential future performance issues. The locations reviewed are listed below: 2.4.1 Mamm Creek Compressor Station (N39 29 33.6 W 107 42 31.4) Figure 1 ~Mornm Creek Master Radio Tower $-64211-11_BBC_PICEANCE_FIELD_COMM_REVIEW-PROPOSALVE-GBS-RRWEA2IT-11 Page 6 of 32 Contidentiai BILL BARRETT CORPORATION ~ SCADA COMMUNICATIONS REVIEW/SOLUTION OPTIONS. PICEANCE FIELD Tower Structure This location is the entry point for both the Ferguson and CygNet field radio network. The tower {as shown in Figure 1 is in need of maintenance specifically in guy tension and bolt tightening, This tower is a Rohn 25G that is supported by a cemented foundation section. With loose guy wires, radio paths can suffer undesirable fade intermittently interrupting communications. With ‘a cemented section, wind sway can cause the lower section structural strength to weaken just above cement level. In higher wind conditions, oscillation can occur resulting in tower failure, Being a critical point in the network, this tower should be relocated to a less utilized space within the property guyed. If the network is addressed, this would be 2 good time to upgrade or replace the structure. A run of one-inch coax was used for the Ferguson yagi (just at the top of the structure] which was directly buried into the ground where it resurfaced prior to entry into the building. The coax was re-terminated into a half inch Heliax coax where it penetrated the building. Improper choice of coax {too large for application) is ‘causing unnecessary load on the tower. Multiple terminations and direct ground burial can shorten the life-cycle of the installation (single run of coax with the exception of antenna jumper is typically standard). Master Antenna The Freewave master radio antenna appeared to be a Maxrad 748 (lower grade antenna}. This antenna’s radiation pattern, low gain and frequency response apolies more directly to isolated coverage areas where a simple repeat function is needed. Predominately, the gain of the antenna on the transmit side could cause the forward power of the system to be less than the allowable FCC power restriction (4 Watts or 36 d8m}. This antenna is not typical of a base station type antenna Theoretical Example = Radio Transmit 30 d8m or 1 Watt (maximum allow Tx power for 900 Miz ISM radios) = Feediine loss considering all terminations and frequency reactance to coax type (estimated at 2 to 3 48) Gain of antenna 7 dB = 34 dB (36 d8m allowable or 4 Watts) 30-3 +7 just over % of the allowed power} 14 (2.51 Watts, Separation and spacing of the ISM antennas was well within tolerance at this location. From experience in other Oil and Gas fields, Freewave, GE MOS TransNETs and 9810s have a high probability of interfering with one another in co-located environments, In discussions with BBC staff, band splitting practices have been deployed. This is an option but in most cases should only be used as a “last resort” interference mitigation step. This can work but it only considers the use of the band by BBC, not other operators utilizing the ISM 900 MHz band. Location and installation practi Network equipment is spread throughout the compressor station from the WAN edge in one building to radio equipment in the other building, Deploying equipment in this manner will require additional equipment to extend communications around the campus (single palr Ethernet-over-DSL currently in use). Co-location of the network equipment to include WAN devices, radios and any switching equipment can be an advantage or disadvantage depending ‘upon the customer's priority. $-64211-11_BBC_PICEANCE_FIFLD_COWM_WEVIEW-PROPOSALWE-GBS.RRWB431T-11 Poge F of 32 Contigential BILL BARRETT CORPORATION ~ SCADA COMMUNICATIONS REVIEW/SOLUTION OPTIONS PICEANCE FIELD Figure 2 - Momm Creeh/CygNet Master Radio Equipment 5-64211-11_B6C_PICEANCE_FIELD_COMM_REVIEW PROPOSALVS GOS-RAWO42IT-T1 Page 8 of 32 Confidential BILL BARRETT CORPORATION ~ SCADA COMMUNICATIONS REVIEW/SOLUTION OPTIONS PICEANCE FIELD The photo on the previous page shows the installation of the Freewave CygNet master radio, WAN Ethernet-over-DSL Extender and Ethernet Switch. Power lines and Ethernet cables are tie- wrapped together and proper cable management was not performed, The IP address of the radio is written on the device for possible ease of maintenance access. This is a security risk if security of the layer 2 Ethernet is not configured (port disable, MAC Authentication, non-default passwords, etc.). Other than potentially hindering the maintenance of this installation or ‘causing interruptions in service during maintenance, these items are not a likely cause of the current system issues. 2.4.2 Circle B Repeater (N39 29 10.1 W 107 37 49.4) Per the current architecture, this repeater is a critical point because a large portion of field assets rely on its network extension, Figure 3 Circle 8 Repeater The structure consists of a 30 Foot Rohn 25G tower with two 10 Foot sections of pipe mast, The top of the mast holds a Maxrad 5 d8 Omni-directional antenna with a 10 dB directional yagi antenna at the mast’s mid-point. The guy wires are attached to the mast whereas support should be attached to the tower itself. ‘The separation of the two antenna positions is adequate ‘S-64211-11_BBC_PICEANCE_FIELD_COMM_REVIEW-PROPOSALVB-GBS.RAWG4211-11 Page 9 of 32 Contidentiai BILL BARRETT CORPORATION ~ SCADA COMMUNICATIONS REVIEW/SOLUTION OPTIONS, PICEANCE FIELD for co-located 900 MHz systems. There is a nearby endpoint radio/RTU that per discussions with BBC personnel has an 80% successful polling rate — this specific site could have too much signal overdriving the receiver. 2.4.3 CBTV Repeater (N 39 3100.7 W 107 41 18.2) ‘This structure is basically an antenna extension to allow communications to nearby RTUs. Figure 4 ~CBTV Repeater ‘This structure is guyed appropriately however the path back to the master may be blocked. The current structure would need to be extended and guyed again.

Figure 5— Jolley Repeoter This repeater’s signal source is the Mamm Creek Compressor (approximately 7.5 mile path). There are a number of issues identified in Figure 5 above. The low gain Omni antenna and guy wire points have already been discussed in previously addressed locations. A lightning arrestor is being used to extend coax, which is not the primary function for this device, Coax runs should ot be interrupted externally unless large coax is used requiring a short piece of coax near the antenna port to limit stress on the port, This surge arrestor is not a weather proof device, once the electrical tape has weathered, transmission line issues will occur, ‘5-642i1-11_BBC_PICEANCE_FIELO_COMM_REVIEW PROPOSALWE GOS RAWE421T 11 Page 11 of 32 Contisentia! BILL BARRETT CORPORATION ~ SCADA COMMUNICATIONS REVIEW/SOLUTION OPTIONS PICEANCE FIELO The location of this site is not optimal as will be illustrated in a referenced coverage attachment shown in Section 3 Page 28. Signal from this height of the antenna and even with an extended AGL (Above Ground Level) at 100 Feet will not propagate East over the ridge. To support future expansion east of this lacation, TEC recommends not using Jolley Repeater as a repeating location but instead utilize Jolly 4 as a master station. A final observation was made on vertical position of the Omni-directional antenna and from our vantage point appears not to be vertical. Most Omni-directional antennas have a narrow vertical beam (typically 7 degrees) and if the antenna is not mounted perpendicular to the Earth, the radiation pattern will not be optimally placed on the field — center beam on the ground short distance away on one side of the antenna and center beam above receiving antennas on the other side of the antenna. 2.4.5 Roderick Locations Water Treatment Plant - N 39 29 23.6 W 107 36 02.0 Roderick 2-31 - N39 29 16.8 W 107 35 32.2 ‘The Roderick WTP is a network signal source for Roderick 2-31. The WTP Repeater utilizes Circle B Repeater for a network signal source. With this architecture, the endpoints off the WTP are subject to three multi-point networks.

These items as described prior are not optimal. Unique to the WTP, poor coax terminations were noticed as ‘well as the coax not being trimmed to proper length. This can account for unnecessary loss in the antenna line. Combined with lower gain antennas, this location is well under the 4 Watt ‘maximum EIRP (Effective Isotropic Radiated Power) as allowed by the FCC. The structure at the WTP with the extended mast is a safety hazard since personnel are commonly within the area and there is risk in the mast falling due to how the mount and extension were deployed on the tower structure. The network at the plant comes off the Freewave as serial protocol to a PLC, then out of the PLC as_an Ethernet network. This may be optimal but further review with BBC Automation Engineering is required, 54421711860.

Issues noticed seemed to replicate from location to location and TEC will assume endpoints will follow this trend in estimating solution option cost. 2.5 REVIEW SUMMARY The review and analysis focused on four major areas: Application, Wide Area Network, Endpoint Network and Physical Aspects. The Wide Area Network and Physical Aspects are not areas that contribute to immediate systems issues ~ with the exception of antenna gains and type at some locations. The highest contributors of the current communication issues seem to reside at the Application and Endpoint Network layers. Specific issues are identified below: Application Polling Process ‘© Unable to group/schedule © TCP session setup all devices ~ start of poll sequence (Cause over-load or peak utilization issues, lessens the efficiency of the network's, ability to process message to/from Host/RTU) Radio architecture that includes both field transport and endpoint delivery on same network (© Masters deliver endpoint and process backhaul functions simultaneously © Potential traffic bottleneck links or locations © Lower capacity restricting over-the-air management © Poor coverage design per terrain (Cause less than optimal use of rac spectrum creating unnecessary retry events) + Non-standardized antenna design (© Low gain antennas — below 4 Watts EIRP on transmitters, ‘© No standard on height or gain of endpoints, expected results during operation more difficult to determine (© Inability to make up for transmission line loss (Cause varying levels of performance or outages, increase over-the-air retries) = Understanding of minimum signal level required for Radio Ethernet communications {Cause inability to understand minimum requirement for reliable communications for outage, change or capacity planning) = Placement and heights of antenna structures ‘© Poor radio signal coverage (© Unnecessary build-out or infrastructure deployments + Multiple single-point-of failure areas ‘564711 11_BAC_PICEANCE_FIELD_COMM_REVIEW.PROPOSALVS-GB5-RRWEA2IT-TT Page 14 of 32, Confidential BILL BARRETT CORPORATION ~ SCADA COMMUNICATIONS REVIEW/SOLUTION OPTIONS. PICEANCE FIELD . SOLUTION OPTIONS The solution options within this section will address a common symptom of unreliable communications, The issues discovered during the review were the result of many different items as described in Section 2. TEC will outline an Engineered Solution within this section addressing the field communication issues from the perspective of the entire system. The solution will offer a communications system that will be able to deliver 99.99% reliability and endpoint RTU availability to the host. This solution will also allow BBC the ability to grow the field and expand the communications network without rebuilding processes or suffering from degradation of performance. 3.1 Design and Performance Baselines Per discussions with BBC staff, the delivery protocol will remain Ethernet to the RTU with ROC ‘automation protocol as the payload. The current deployed radio product is the Freewave FGR Plus. This system will be scaled down and optimized to deliver last-mile communications only relieving the system from the burden of backhaul or inter-field delivery. The items below outline the design points as to how the offered solution was determined, + Host Optimized Polling (per design specifications and efforts of BBC Automation); this area will not be addressed by TEC but will be required for overall system performance improvements = Last-mile RF coverage threshold: -85d8m higher level than standard serial communications) + Add additional master stations and decommission current repeating architecture (goal (of 90% single-hop last-mile coverage] + Limit true FGR repeat feature (store-and-forward) + All Hardware updated with the latest firmware per manufacturer recommendation + Configure last-mile radio features to optimize reliability with a minor loss of bandwidth Enable remote management = Deploy a higher-rate, lower latency and alternate route Ethernet delivery system {dedicated Point-to-Point backhaul system at 99.999% reliability with a BER of 1 X 10° with @ minimum of 10 Mbps bandwidth @ 5 mSec RTT latency) + Perform proper installation practices with structures, system grounding, antenna systems, antenna transmission line and radio hardware mounting, > Offer training during and after deployment efforts = _ Offer maintenance and proactive monitoring services 3.2. Solution The solution will be categorized in three areas; Ethernet backhaul, Endpoint or last-mile delivery and physical structures. The backhaul solution is always the core of the network and will be described first to properly explain the reasoning for adding or extending this technology into the field. This will also lead into “why and how” multiple master stations are required in areas with terrain features such as in the Piceance area, ‘$-84211-11_06C_PICEANCE_FIELD_COMM_REVIEW-PROPOSALVE-GRS-RAWGA2IT-TT Page 15 of 32 Configentiat BILL BARRETT CORPORATION ~ SCADA COMMUNICATIONS REVIEW/SOLUTION OPTIONS. PICEANCE FIELD 3.2.1 Ethernet Backhaul The below image illustrates the proposed path for BBC Piceance field. This path indicated by red ‘ines will be considered the primary route for SCADA and data communications. ‘igure 8 Propesed Ethernet Backhoul Paths The BBC Office is indicated by a black dot at the top center of Figure 8. From that location, TEC proposes to keep the current isolated WAN 11 in service as long as it remains dedicated to SCADA communications. This path will be used as a recovery path in the event of a network path outage. The red lines are proposed higher capacity RF backhaul paths. The proposed RF “Nodes” (communications service points) were determined optimal locations to deploy endpoint master radios that maximize 900 MHz coverage. These paths have been designed to utilize unlicensed frequencies in the UNII 5.8 GHz band. Further Implementation Engineering will be proposed to ensure spectrum availability. The 5.8 GHz band can be deployed with a ‘narrow channel to ensure interference free operation and allow for bandwidth higher than the current demand staging the system for future growth, Being unlicensed, lower cost deployments can be done in a timelier manner than with licensed solutions. Per discussions with BBC staff, bandwidth needs for current and future can easily be supported by a high capacity unlicensed solution. BBC Office SCADA Backhaul The BBC office will deploy a roof mounted 2 foot dish on azimuth to the Jolley 4 Node. Further Proposed engineering will be necessary to determine the exact mount, penetration requirements and other physical aspects of the installation. The equipment will consist of an IDU (In Door Unit), ODU (Cut Door Unit), 2 foot dish and outdoor rated POE cable. This system should be connected to the BBC network at the office on a dedicated SCADA subnet or new Ethernet subnet on the local router. The current 10.0.100-103.x network could be extended directly into the office via this system. ‘The below image is the RF backhaul path.

PICEANCE FIELD 5 Jolley 4 SCADA Backhaul The Jolley 4 Node will deploy a 2 foot dish on azimuth back to the BBC Office. This will complete the first hop from the office to the field. This site will require a 50 foot self support structure with the backhaul antenna being mounted at 40 feet. Further engineering will be required to size and load the tower for design and foundation. The costs to construct this structure are ‘estimated within this proposal. The equipment will consist of an IDU (In Door Unit, ODU (Out Door Unit), 2 foot dish and outdoor rated POE cable. This system will be connected to a local ‘managed Ethernet switch that will tie in the backhaul radio (facing next field node) and local 900 MHz master radio, A second IDU/ODU 5.8 GHz radio will be deployed on this tower to connect the next downstream field radio node - Dixon. ‘Since 5.8 GHz is being used, antenna systems for this type of technology load lighter with less wind surface area and weight that typically does not require heavy duty structure/tower deployments. ixon and Mamm Creek Backhaul Tne Dixon Node is an exact replica of the Jolley 4 Node so all of the above applies as far as equipment description and deployment.

From the office, a Layer 2 bridge radio connects the office to the first field node (Jolley 4), The Backhaul Ethernet path is connected to a local Layer 2 managed switch which connects the Freewave master to the network. A third port connects the network to the downstream Backhaul Ethernet path. This configuration is repeated at the Dixon node whereas Dixon then services the downstream and final node of Mamm Creek. At Mamm Creek, the Ethernet service is then connected to the compressor station router via a Layer 2 managed switch. This configuration opens up options on the Layer 2 and Layer 3 handling or management of the path. Since each router (silt Office and Mamm Creek) is arranged within the loop via the 5.8 GHz backhaul network and T1, loop management will be necessary. TEC will plan for resources to work with BBC IT in determining the most appropriate management of this loop network and would prefer a Layer 3 or routed management of this network. Having an operational circuit during any reconfiguration of the field network brings an advantage in that interruption of field communications can be minimized. This will also give the field implementation process a recovery plan in the event of unforeseen issues when turning up or converting endpoint systems. $6421 11_B6C_PICEANCE_FIELO_COMM_REVIEW-PROPOSALVB-GBS.RAWOADIT-I1 Page 24 of 32 confidential BILL BARRETT CORPORATION ~ SCADA COMMUNICATIONS REVIEW/SOLUTION OPTIONS PICEANCE FIELD 3.2.3 Endpoint systems This section will clarify why Jolley 4 and Dixon have been chosen as communication node locations deploying new master radio stations. The coverage models shown below were the final chosen models from initial runs by TEC and review of Freewave's path study. Coverage models were run from 50 feet to 100 feet and it was determined that antenna use above 50 feet did not provide enough additional coverage to justify the cost of taller tower structures. The concept is a single-hop design where the RTU will be subject to a single 900 MH2 radio hop whereas the next hop will be an extended LAN (high speed Ethernet). Coverage was run from the Jolley Repeater which showed expansion RF coverage east would be nonexistent. Jolley 4 has approximately 200+ feet in additional terrain height and allows signal to propagate within the valley to the east and visibility to the Silt office, ‘The current system suffers from multiple layers of radio zones that are responsible for endpoint ‘communications and field delivery. If retransmissions occur, not only is the delivery delayed but endpoint systems may suffer from unnecessary latency or packet loss. Upstream and downstream traffic may become easily bottlenecked at repeater locations as the downstream packet integrity checks fail requiring retransmission at the same time as new message broadcasts come in from the Host network. Another aspect of concern is that every asset relies ‘on one master radio and network entry point. This is the case in either a back-to-back repeater or a single radio store-and-forward repeat function. The solution is to extend “Host network like” connectivity to the field and segment the field via ‘multiple master radio stations, in addition to placing them in strategic areas that satisfy the applications signal level and capacity requirements. yixonds On Seta oak Goa as eeey: Figure 16 ~ Endpoint Node Stations with Endpoints The above diagram is a starting point to illustrate the locations of the master stations, backhaul and endpoint locations.

BILL BARRETT CORPORATION ~ SCADA COMMUNICATIONS REVIEW/SOLUTION OPTIONS PICEANCE FIELD 3.2.4 Physical Structures ~ Node Structures TEC proposes to construct at a minimum a self-support 50 foot tower at Jolly 4 and a self- ‘support 50 foot tower at Dixon Repeater. In addition, the structure at Mamm Creek should be replaced with a self-support 60 foot structure. The Rohn towers currently deployed are light duty towers made to be guyed above 30 feet and should be used as a single Omni or directional antenna support structure. The location of the Mamm Creek tower requires further discussion with BBC personnel. If the current location remains a guyed tower the footprint of the area may become restricting (proper guy wire angle and distance considered). As a self-support tower the location may be optimal. The Mamm Creek tower is also at risk of fallure due to current antenna, mount, and coax load. The guy wire tension is loose, which could also cause the tower to fail and collapse during inclement weather conditions. Jolley 4 and Dixon will each require a structure at a height of 50 feet and designed to handle a load for the appropriate hardware as specified in Section 2 (further engineering required for final tower strength selection). All TEC towers are designed to the EIA/TIA 222-G standard that considers loading, soil and area elements to ensure structural integrity see pen oe eee ee + BER cree ae ST San|ape lacs] STaaRa = Sis me neler Figure 21 ~ Trvlon Super-Titan $0 Foot $300 (Jolley 4 end Dixon Specification) Longevity of communication systems require appropriate structures that are typically sized at 80% to support unforeseen loading needs supporting additional systems. For example, the tower shown in Figure 21 will be able to support two 5.8 GHz systems and the Freewave antenna load with capacity for growth. The implementation of tower structures can be costly so it is important to size appropriately from the beginning. For example, a Trylon $200 tower ‘S-64211-11_@BC_PICEANCE_FIELD_CONMM REVIEW-PROPOSALVE-GOS RAWESPIE-TE Page 29 of 32 confidential BILL BARRETT CORPORATION ~ SCADA COMMUNICATIONS REVIEW/SOLUTION OPTIONS PICEANCE FIELO rather than the specified S300 may support the proposed systems, but due to the $200 being ‘near maximum loading it would limit additions to the structure, 3.2.5 Physical Structures ~ Endpoint Systems Physical changes at each endpoint location may not be necessary. However, a full review of each location should be done to ensure the system will fall within the baseline design. TEC will propose to review each location and address items that could directly cause communications Issues. The items proposed to review during any implementation process are listed as follows: ~ Standing Wave Ratio or Antenna Line Test, test for out-of-tolerance signal reflections that typically indicate a bad antenna system and correct as necessary = Replace any antenna that is not 2 10 dBd yagi, effort to allow the endpoint radio to comply as close as possible to predicted coverage and appropriate signal levels i receive signal strength + Check for proper grounding and address as necessary Check for proper antenna line use and installation, specifically remove unnecessary lengths of coax = Housekeeping of radio installation address cable dressing ~ Document, decommission or correct any current structures that are unsafe or have a high probability of failure = Review any communications interfaces, plugs or cables for any risk of failure 3.3. Solution Summary Twin Eagle Consulting LLC is confident that by addressing the issues identified within this document, Bill Barrett Corporation will have a highly reliable, scalable and responsive communications system. To guaranty a successful solution, further field engineering services are needed. The field is currently an end-to-end Ethernet solution that if optimized will meet or exceed the expectations of Bill Barrett Corporation. Ifthe system were to be backed down to a more resilient serial protocol system, tower structure placement would remain as stated within this document. The cost to redeploy serial communication, address current issues and implement the changes would remain equal to proposed solution. Section 4 will list the specific deliverables and estimated cost to deploy the solution as described. $6421 11_BBC_PICEANCE FIELD_COMM_REVIEW PROPOSALWE-GDS RAWEVDIT-TT Page 30 0f 32, Confident ILL BARRETT CORPORATION ~ SCADA COMMUNICATIONS REVIEW/SOLUTION OPTIONS, PICEANCE FIELD 4.
