estimate of the gas flow rate and/or volume from the bradenhead.
3. Within thirty days of 2/21/2023, submit a Form 4 Sundry that summarizes current well condition. The sundry should include details of the future plans, sample analysis interpretation, bradenhead test description, and the flow rate information and pressure data.
4. Shut well in for at least seven days to monitor build up pressures then conduct a new bradenhead test and submit the Form 17 within ten days of the test.
5. If a sample has not been collected from surface casing within the last twelve months collect bradenhead gas samples for laboratory analysis. Sampling shall comply with Operator Guidance - Bradenhead Testing and Reporting Instructions, Appendix A: Liquid and Gas Sampling. Copies of all final laboratory analytical results shall be provided to the COGCC within three months of collecting the samples. |

Engineer | Form: (06 ) 403347294 3/31/2023 | Prior to starting plugging operations a bradenhead test shall be performed if there has not been a reported bradenhead test within the 60 days immediately preceding the start of plugging operations.
1) If, before opening the bradenhead valve, the beginning pressure is greater than 25 psi, sampling is required.
2) If pressure remains at the conclusion of the test, or if any liquids were present during the test, sampling is required.
The Form 17 shall be submitted within 10 days of the test. Sampling shall comply with Operator Guidance - Bradenhead Testing and Reporting Instructions. 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.
If there is a need for sampling, contact COGCC engineering for verification of plugging procedure. |
Engineer | Form: (06 ) 403347294 3/31/2023 | Consistent with Rule 911.a, a Form 27 must be approved prior to cut and cap, conducting flowline abandonment, or removing production equipment. Allow 30 days for Director review of the Form 27; include the Form 27 document number on the Form 44 for offsite flowline abandonment (if applicable) and on the Form 6 Subsequent.
Properly abandon flowlines per Rule 1105. If flowlines will be abandoned in place, include with the Form 27: pressure test results conducted in the prior 12 months as well as identification of any document numbers for a COGCC Spill/Release Report, Form 19, associated with the abandoned line. |
Engineer | Form: (06 ) 403347294 3/31/2023 | 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) Pump surface casing shoe plug at 1231' 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 676' or shallower and provide a minimum of 10 sx plug at the surface.
3) Leave at least 100’ of cement in the wellbore for each plug without mechanical isolation.
4) With the Form 6 SRA operator must provide written documentation which positively affirms each COA listed above has been addressed.
5) Add other COAs as needed (CBL requests, pressure tests, etc.)
6) If you need another stop and verify point add this into the list of COAs before #2: After placing plug at XXXX’ assure that all fluid migration has been eliminated by monitoring the well for a minimum of 8 hours before proceeding to the next plug. If at any time after placing this plug there is evidence of pressure or of fluid migration, contact COGCC engineering before continuing operations. |
Engineer | Form: (06 ) 403347294 3/31/2023 | WITH KNOWN BRADENHEAD PRESSURE
After pumping the cement plug at 2,300', a minimum 8 hour shutdown is required. Check for pressure or flow in the bradenhead. If either exists, contact COGCC Engineer for further plugging orders. |
