03/18/2019 | Plugging
• Provide 48 hour notice of plugging MIRU via electronic Form 42.
• Plugs and squeezes will be placed as stated in the Plugging Procedure section of the approved NOIA unless revised by COA or prior approval from COGCC is obtained.
• COGCC Change: Move 7518-15’ plug to on top of CIBP at 7540’.
• COGCC Change: Move casing cut to 2500’.
• If there is any pressure or fluid flow during the pre-plugging bradenhead test, operator must wait 8 hrs after pumping the 2500-2304’ plug and assure there is no fluid migration or shut-in pressure on the well. Contact COGCC Engineer for revised plugging orders if well is not static at this time prior to continuing with plugging operations.
• Tag 2500-2304’ plug if circulation is not maintained while pumping and displacing plug to depth, 100’ minimum required.
• COGCC Change: Increase depth to bottom of the shoe plug to 900’, increase cement volume accordingly.
• Check for fluid migration or shut-in pressure on the well prior to pumping any plug(open hole, annular or casing) that isolates deepest aquifer or the surface casing shoe (whichever is deeper). Contact COGCC Area Engineer for revised plugging orders if well is not static at this time prior to continuing with plugging operations.
• Tag required if the shoe plug, or combined stub/shoe plug, is not circulated to the surface. Shoe plug shall be placed as specified herein and the top of cement must be a minimum 50’ into the shoe, or 50’ above the stub (if not cut below the shoe), whichever is shallower.
• Place a 50' plug (minimum) at the surface, both inside the inner most casing and in all annular spaces. All other cement plugs, without mechanical isolation, shall have at least 100' of cement left in the casing. Confirm cement to surface in all strings during cut and cap.
• Properly abandon flowlines as per Rule 1105. File electronic Form 42 once abandonment complete. Within 30 days of an operator completing abandonment requirements for an off-location flowline or crude oil transfer line the operator must submit a Flowline Report, Form 44.
• Document COAs have been met on the Form 6 SRA.

03/18/2019 | Bradenhead Testing
• Prior to the start of plugging operations, a bradenhead test shall be performed and reported if there has not been a reported bradenhead test within the 60 days immediately preceding the start of plugging operations.
• If any of the following conditions exist then sampling of all fluids is required and sampling methods shall comply with Operator Guidance – Bradenhead Testing and Reporting Instructions, Appendix A: Liquid and Gas Sampling as found on the COGCC website, cogcc.state.co.us.
1) The initial pressure measurement on the bradenhead is greater than 25 psi, prior to blowing down any liquid or gas from the bradenhead valve, or
2) Pressure remains at the conclusion of the test, or
3) Any liquids are present anytime during the test. If so, then stop the test as soon as liquids are present and sample before resuming the test.
• Form 17 Bradenhead Test Report shall be submitted within 10 days of the test.
• If samples are collected, copies of all final laboratory analytical results shall be provided to the COGCC within three (3) months of collecting the samples. Submit via a Form 43 to upload the laboratory results to the COGCC Environmental Database. Form 43 instructions are on COGCC’s website under Regulation => Forms => Form 43 COGCC Environmental Database.

07/18/2022 | 1) This well is designated inactive and must be properly returned to production, plugged and abandoned, have an approved Form 5B or be submitted on a Form 6A (to be designated as Out of Service) no later than no later than November 1, 2022.
2) The Form 7, Operators Report of Monthly Operations, must correctly reflect the well status. |

06/24/2024 | Operator will implement measures to capture, combust, or control emissions to protect health and safety, and to ensure that vapors and odors from well plugging operations do not constitute a nuisance or hazard to public health, welfare and the environment. Due to the proximity of residential building units (RBUs) all blowdown gasses will be controlled.
Due to proximity of plugging and abandonment (P&A) operations to BUs, operator will comply with Table 423 Maximum Permissible Noise Levels for residential land use. Prior to initiating work, operator will install temporary sound walls, straw bales, or other BMPs to dampen noise if necessary for compliance.
Due to close proximity to Residential Building Units (RBUs), prior to commencing operations, at a minimum, the operator will provide an informational sheet to the owners/occupants of the RBUs nearby and adjacent to the parcel with the well. The sheet will include the operator's contact information and the nature, timing, and expected duration of the P&A operations. |

07/08/2024 | 1) Provide electronic Form 42 Notice of MIRU 2 business days ahead of operations and electronic Form 42 Notice of Plugging Operations 48 hours prior to mobilizing for plugging operations. These are two separate notifications, required by Rules 405.e and 405.l.
2) Prior to placing cement above the base of the Upper Pierre (1934') : verify that all fluid (liquid and gas) migration has been eliminated. If evidence of fluid migration or pressure remains, contact ECMC Engineer for an update to plugging orders.
3) Pump surface casing shoe plug at 1238' only after isolation has been verified. If surface casing cement is not circulated to surface, shut-in, WOC 4 hours then tag plug – must be at 717' or shallower and provide a minimum of 10 sx plug at the surface.
4) Leave at least 100’ of cement in the wellbore for each plug without mechanical isolation.
5) After cut and prior to cap, verify isolation by either a 15 minute bubble test or 15 minute optical gas imaging recording. If there is indication of flow contact ECMC Engineering. Provide a statement on the 6SRA which method was used and what was observed. Retain records of final isolation test for 5 years.
6) With the Form 6 SRA operator must provide written documentation which positively affirms each COA listed above has been addressed. |
