| During completion operations, the butterfly valve used to isolate the fresh water pump down tanks was leaking, which allowed fresh water to flow into the flowback tank. The flowback tank overflowed, releasing approximately 20 bbls of fluid (16 bbls of fresh water, 1 bbl of crude oil, and 3 bbls of recycled, treated produced water) into poly lined secondary containment. A vacuum truck was used to recover the 20 bbls of released fluid from above the poly liner and return it to the flowback tank. A topographic Site Location Map showing the general location of the release is attached as Figure 1. |
