| Spill Description: |
| During surface casing drilling operations for the Greenleaf 30N-2HZ well, water-based drilling fluids were released due to lost circulation while drilling at the surface through sandy soils in the wellbore. Approximately 40 bbls of water-based drilling fluid surfaced in two locations on the bermed wellpad. Approximately 40 bbls of the released water-based drilling fluid were recovered for beneficial reuse. Approximately 14 cubic yards of soil were excavated and added to the cuttings bin for beneficial reuse. Confirmation soil samples were collected from the two release areas. A topographic Site Location Map showing the general location of the release areas is attached as Figure 1. |
