02/15/2017 | 1) Operator shall comply with the Notice to Operators Drilling Wells in the Buzzard, Mamm Creek, and Rulison fields, Garfield County and Mesa County – Procedures and Submittal Requirements for Compliance with COGCC Order Nos. 1-107, 139-56, 191-22, and 369-2 (“Bradenhead NTO”), dated July 8, 2010.
2) At least once a year perform a bradenhead test and report results on operator’s annual spreadsheet or on a Form 17, as specified in the Bradenhead NTO.
3) COGCC staff encourages the use of a combustor for vented bradenhead gas when feasible without the use of supplemental fuel for the combustor. An enclosed flare shall be used, unless an open flare is specifically allowed by Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) Regulation 7.
4) Comply with any CDPHE, Air Pollution Control Division rules or requirements for all atmospheric discharges.
5) Any liquids blown down are to be collected, stored, handled, and treated or disposed as E&P waste per COGCC’s 900 series rules.
6) Annular spaces shall not be tied to sales without COGCC engineering approval on a Sundry Notice, Form 4, describing equipment configuration, proper pressure regulation and check valves. At least one check valve is required for annular spaces that are tied to sales. Maintain equipment for pressure regulation and check valves in good working order.

04/09/2025 | 1. Operator will implement measures to control venting, to protect health and safety, and to ensure that vapors and odors from well operations do not constitute a nuisance or hazard to public welfare.
2. Bradenhead and intermediate gas is not to be vented to the atmosphere; any gas from the Bradenhead will routed to to specified abatement system. Shut in bradenhead pressure shall not exceed threshold pressure . Operator will implement measures to get an estimate of the gas flow rate and/or volume from the bradenhead.
3. No later than 02/26/2026 , conduct a bradenhead test, submit a Form 17, and submit a Form 4 Sundry that summarizes current well condition. The well should be shut in for seven days to monitor and collect data to characterize build up pressures prior to conducting the bradenhead test. The sundry should include details of the future plans, sample analysis interpretation, bradenhead test description, and the flow rate information and pressure data.
4. If a sample has not been collected from surface and intermediate casing within the last twelve months collect gas samples for laboratory analysis. Sampling will comply with Operator Guidance - Bradenhead Testing and Reporting Instructions, Appendix A: Liquid and Gas Sampling. Copies of all final laboratory analytical results will be provided to the ECMC within three months of collecting the samples.
