Spill Description:
During completion operations at the Spurling 35N-34HZ well location, approximately 16 bbls of brine water mixed with flowback fluid was released inside the well pad containment. The operator opened the suction valve connected to the bender to recover the brine water, but did not check for other openings. The manifold to the tanks was left open allowing the brine water mixed with flowback fluid to release onto the well pad. The brine water is a solution of salt and water added to the aboveground completion lines to prevent them from freezing. Approximately 16 bbls of the released fluid was recovered using a vacuum truck. Confirmation soil samples will be collected from the release area or excavation, as applicable. The analytical results and excavation details will be provided in a supplemental report. A topographic Site Location Map showing the general location of the release is attached as Figure 1.
