| Spill Description: |
| A workover rig was pulling tubing with a clogged downhole pump on the Antelope 41-44-31hz well. When the rig hands broke a connection between two sections of pipe the residual oil in the pipe string was released, caught by the wind, and blown across the location. The release was originally reported to BCEI personnel as 20 gallons. However, on 11/14/2017 the workover rig mobilized off location uncovering a larger area of impacted road base surface that was not observed in between the rig and equipment. BCEI environmental personnel arrived on location on 11/15/2017 to conduct a follow-up investigation and calculated the release volume to be 1.7 bbls of oil. The impacted road base has been removed and confirmation samples were collected. Analytical results will be submitted in a subsequent Form 19/NFA. |
