06/16/2020 | 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 shut in bradenhead for 7 days and perform a bradenhead test if pressure builds to 150 psi. Report results on operator’s annual spreadsheet and on a Form 17 if bradenhead test was performed, as specified in the Bradenhead NTO.
3) Comply with any CDPHE, Air Pollution Control Division rules or requirements for all atmospheric discharges.
4) Any liquids blown down are to be collected, stored, handled, and treated or disposed as E&P waste per COGCC’s 900 series rules.
5) 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.

09/24/2024 | 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 ECMC within three (3) months of collecting the samples.
If there is a need for sampling, contact ECMC engineering for verification of plugging procedure.

09/24/2024 | 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 ECMC Spill/Release Report, Form 19, associated with the abandoned line. |

12/19/2024 | NOTE: Plugging procedure has been changed via discussion with operator. Operator submitted updated WBD and procedure.
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) After placing plug at 1340’ 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 ECMC engineering before continuing operations.
2) Prior to placing cement above the surface shoe : 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 only after isolation has been verified. If surface casing cement is not circulated to surface, shut-in, WOC 4 hours then tag plug.
4) Leave at least 100’ of cement in the wellbore for each plug without mechanical isolation.
5) After surface plug and prior to cap, verify isolation by either a 15 minute bubble test or 15 minute optical gas imaging. 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.
