| Spill Description: |
| Remote telemetry monitoring indicated a pressure drop on one of the flowlines. All wells on the pad were immediately shut-in and excavation activities were initiated to expose the flowlines for visual inspection. A small hole was identified on the suspected flowline near the separator and is expected to be the cause of the pressure drop. As the assessment of the soils progressed, historical soil impacts were encountered in the dumpline trench at the separators. Excavation and assessment activities are ongoing to remediate the soil impacts and ensure integrity of all flowlines and dumplines associated with this location. All potentially impacted soil is being stockpiled in a lined secondary containment on location. BBC will continue to update the COGCC via supplemental reporting as the investigation continues and laboratory results become available. |
