12/16/2019 | 1. Operator shall 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. Prior to starting bradenhead abatement, if a sample has not been collected within the last twelve months collect bradenhead and production 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.
3. Bradenhead gas is not to be vented to atmosphere; any gas from the Bradenhead will be routed to an enclosed tank and/or combustor. Operator shall implement measures to get an initial estimate of the gas flow rate and/or volume from the bradenhead. The abatement program may be used for six consecutive months.
4. Operator will submit a Form 42 (“OTHER”) stating that “bradenhead abatement program has started.”
5. By January 15, 2020, conduct a new bradenhead test and submit the Form 17 within ten days of the test and submit a Form 4 Sundry that summarizes current well condition. The sundry should include details of the future plans and the flow rate information and pressure data.

06/01/2023 | 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. |

06/01/2023 | 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. |

06/05/2023 | 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. |

06/05/2023 | For Wells with known Bradenhead pressures:
1) Provide 2 business day notice of plugging MIRU via electronic Form 42, and provide 48 hours Notice of Plugging Operations, prior to mobilizing for plugging operations via electronic Form 42. These are 2 separate notifications, required by Rules 408.e and 408.I.
2) After placing the shallowest hydrocarbon isolating plug (2550'), operator must wait a sufficient time to confirm static conditions.
3) After placing plug at 2550’ 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.
4) Prior to placing the 610’ plug: verify that all fluid migration (liquid or gas) has been eliminated. If evidence of fluid migration or pressure remains, contact COGCC Engineer for an update to plugging orders.
5) After isolation has been verified, pump plug and displace. If cement is not circulated to surface, shut-in, WOC 4 hours then tag plug – must be at 216’ or shallower and provide at least 10 sx plug at the surface.
6) With the Form 6 SRA operator must provide written documentation which positively affirms each COA has been addressed. |

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.
2) 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. |
