| On March 3, 2017 at 9:45am, water contractor, Knowles, notified Linn's lease operator, Luke Hopper, via two-way radio there was a "geyser" on the L04 696 well pad. Luke arrived on location at 10:00am and discovered fluid on the pad from a ruptured water dump line on the outside of the tank containment. Luke re-routed the water dump to go to the oil side, checked for other leaking, and retested the oil line. Both lines recently passed pressure testing. Observation of the amount of produced water on the surface and by measuring the level in the #2 tank, Luke calculated that less than 2 bbls of produced water were released. |
