| Spill Description: |
| During an early morning inspection of the tank battery, the lined secondary containment was observed to be filled with oil. Further inspection indicated an equalizer valve was closed on a production tank piping manifold. As the closed valve isolated the remaining tanks and reduced the overall storage capacity, the production tanks were overfilled resulting in an oil release inside lined containment. Bonanza Creek is currently evaluating the release volume. The wells feeding the battery were shut in to allow for cleanup. The free oil is being recovered and will be pumped back into the production tanks. The battery will be pressure washed to clean the affected equipment. |
