Spill Description:
During a routine inspection of the location, the pumper discovered what appeared to be a wet spot on surface of pad. Upon further investigation, production personnel determined that a produced water line leaked which resulted in the release of between 5 bbls of produced water and an estimated 2 bbls of condensate. Total volume of release is estimated to be approximately 7 bbls of fluid. The root cause of the leak is equipment failure due to corrosion on the water line. No fluids could be recovered. The wells were temporarily shut in and the defective line was bypassed. Flexsteel pipe was used to replace the corroded water line. Contaminated soils have been excavated and taken to an off-site, approved commercial disposal facility. Soil samples from the bottom of the excavation have been collected and sent to an approved laboratory for analysis to determine if COGCC 910-1 cleanup standards have been met.
