Spill Description:
Due to a situation with a distressed operator and an existing casing leak capable of flowing 85 bwpd, the COGCC intervened to plug the well. It is estimated a total of 12.6 bbls of salt water were spilled on the days from 12/20/2016 to 12/21 and from 12/27/2016 to 12/29/2016 while plugging the well. Daily spills occurred during individual tubing collar disconnections while pulling tubing. It is estimated 80% of the spilled salt water made it to the existing adjacent unlined pit. Once a cement plug was set above the casing leak the well stopped flowing and the leaks stopped. It is estimated that only 1-2 bbls were recovered from the pit with the balance of 10-11 bbls percolating into the soil.
