| Spill Description: |
| Bonanza Creek had an incident that occurred at approximately 19:30 yesterday evening (5/15/14). After performing maintenance activities on a separator, a valve was opened to route fluids to the tank. The increased pressure caused oil to open and flow out of the pressure relief valve on the top of the production tank. Approximately 18 bbl of oil were released inside lined containment. All 18 bbl were recovered and pumped back into the production tank. There is no gravel inside the lined secondary containment and crews cleaned the residual oil and returned the site back to normal operating conditions on 5/16/14. |
