1/16/2016 | Leak Detection Plan: To ensure protection for the surfaace during fracturing treatment, the location will be specifically constructed to contain any releases or spills. Secondary containment from any chemical spills or leaks will surround any trucks that carry, mix, or add chemicals to the flow stream as well as connections that could possibly leak fluid. Should any spill or release occur, every reasonable step will be taken to quickly remediate the area disturbed. |

1/16/2016 | One of the first wells drilled on the pad will be logged with open-hole Resistivity Log and Gamma Ray Log from the kick-off point into the surface casing. All wells on the pad will have a cement bond log with gamma-ray run on production casing (or on intermediate casing if production liner is run) into the surface casing. The horizontal portion of every well will be logged with a measured-while-drilling gamma-ray log. The Form 5, Completion Report, for each well on the pad will list all logs run and have those logs attached. The Form 5 for a well without open-hole logs shall clearly state “No open-hole logs were run” and shall clearly identify (by API#, well name & number) the well in which open-hole logs were run. |
