General Housekeeping | Form: (02 ) 400871343 10/26/2015 | All surface trash, debris, scrap or discarded material will be removed daily or weekly as necessary and in a legal manner. |
Storm Water/Erosion Control | Form: (02 ) 400871343 10/26/2015 | Storm Water Management Plan (SWMP) will be in place to address construction, drilling and operations associated with oil and gas development through the state of Colorado in accordance with CDPHE General Permit Rules. BMP’s will vary according to location and will remain in place until the pad reaches final reclamation. |
Material Handling and Spill Prevention | Form: (02 ) 400871343 10/26/2015 | Spill prevention control and countermeasure plan is in place to address construction, drilling and operations associated with oil and gas development throughout the state of Colorado in accordance with CFR 112. |
Drilling/Completion Operations | Form: (02 ) 400871343 10/26/2015 | One of the first wells drilled on the pad will be logged with an open-hole resistivity log with gamma-ray from TD to into the surface casing. All wells on the pad will have a cement bond log with gamma-ray run on the production casing (or intermediate casing if production liner is run). All wells on the pad will have the horizontal portion of the wellbore logged with a measured-while-drilling log with gamma-ray. 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 openhole logs were run.” The Form 5 for a well without open-hole logs shall clearly identify (by API#, well name &number) the well in which open-hole logs were run. |
Drilling/Completion Operations | Form: (02 ) 400871343 10/26/2015 | Preferred Option: It is the intent of the County that operators utilize closed-loop or modified closed-loop systems for drilling and completion operations in order to minimize or eliminate the need for earthen pits; however, notwithstanding the foregoing, where appropriate, and subject to prior County approval, the County generally supports: 1) the use of unlined drilling pits when bentonite or a similar clay additive is used during the drilling process, and 2) the use of lined single- or multi-well water storage pits in order to minimize the transport of water and promote recycling, subject to the requirements set forth in this subsection. Permitted modified closed-loop systems include oil and gas wells where air or fresh water is used to drill through the surface casing interval, defined as fifty (50) feet below the depth of the deepest aquifer, and a closed loop system is used for the remainder of the drilling and/or completion or recompletion procedures. Multi-well pits are defined as lined, engineered pits, constructed over an engineered base, with construction or liner specifications meeting or exceeding Commission pit lining rules, that will serve the functions of drilling, completion, and/or flowback pits for more than one well. |
Drilling/Completion Operations | Form: (04 ) 401212878 4/11/2017 | One of the first wells drilled on the pad will be logged with Cased-hole Pulsed Neutron Log with Gamma Ray Log from TD 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 in that well and have those logs attached. The Form 5 for each well shall clearly state “No open-hole logs were run” and shall reference the Rule 317.p Exception granted for the well. |
