9/29/2014 | Approval for changing to option 4 granted contingent upon completion of successful Bradenhead test and submission to COGCC of form 17 that shows no significant Bradenhead pressure or flow issues and that the well is in compliance with the COGCC "Policy for Special Bradenhead Testing Area in Weld County" dated 12/16/2009. If the results of the Bradenhead test are not acceptable additional mitigation will be required.
Option 4 remediation will include pulling tubing, installing at least 1 RBP, pressure test of casing to a minimum of 3000 psi, installing a 5K wellhead, and onsite monitoring of the Bradenhead during hydraulic stimulation of offset wells within a 1500' radius of the Benson 23-33 (API 123-19934). |

12/27/2019 | 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.

9/23/2022 | This oil and gas location lies within the city limits of Mead. Prior to commencing operations, the operator will post signs in conspicuous locations at intersections that will remain in place throughout the duration of the plug and abandonment activities. The signs will indicate plugging and abandonment operations are being conducted, the well name, well, and the applicable contact information. Signs will be placed so as not to create a potential traffic hazard. |

9/26/2022 | 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.

9/26/2022 | 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 the 635’ plug: verify that all fluid (liquid and gas) migration has been eliminated. If evidence of fluid migration or pressure remains, contact COGCC Engineer for an update to plugging orders.
3) After isolation has been verified, pump surface casing shoe plug. If cement is not circulated to surface, shut-in, WOC 4 hours then tag plug – must be at 385’ 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) With the Form 6 SRA operator must provide written documentation which positively affirms each COA listed above has been addressed.

9/26/2022 | 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.
