3/7/2018 | Plugging
• Provide 48 hour notice of plugging MIRU via electronic Form 42.
• COGCC change with operator approval: Added Sussex isolation inside casing with CIBP and 2 sx at 4200’+-.
• If there is pressure greater than zero on the surface casing at any time during the pre-plugging bradenhead test then wait 8 hrs after pumping squeeze at 2500’+- and check for fluid migration or shut-in pressure on the well. Contact COGCC Engineer for revised plugging orders if well is not static at this time, prior to continuing with plugging operations.
• Check for fluid migration or shut-in pressure on the well prior to pumping any plug(open hole, annular or casing) that isolates deepest aquifer or the surface casing shoe (whichever is deeper). Contact COGCC Engineer for revised plugging orders if well is not static at this time prior to continuing with plugging operations.
• Tag required if the shoe plug, or combined stub/shoe plug, is not circulated to the surface and top of cement must be 50’ into the shoe, or 50’ above the cut, whichever is shallower.
• Place a 50' plug (minimum) at the surface, both inside the inner most casing and in all annular spaces. All other cement plugs, without mechanical isolation, shall have at least 100' of cement left in the casing.
• Properly abandon flowlines as per Rule 1103. |

3/7/2018 | Bradenhead Testing
• Prior to the start of plugging operations, a bradenhead test shall be performed and reported if there has not been a reported bradenhead test within the 60 days immediately preceding the start of plugging operations.
• If any of the following conditions exist then sampling of all fluids is required and sampling methods shall comply with Operator Guidance – Bradenhead Testing and Reporting Instructions, Appendix A: Liquid and Gas Sampling as found on the COGCC website, cogcc.state.co.us.
1) The initial pressure measurement on the bradenhead is greater than 25 psi, prior to blowing down any liquid or gas from the bradenhead valve, or
2) Pressure remains at the conclusion of the test, or
3) Any liquids are present anytime during the test. If so, then stop the test as soon as liquids are present and sample before resuming the test. |

3/7/2018 | Venting
Operator shall implement measures to control unnecessary and excessive venting, to protect the health and safety of the public, and to ensure that vapors and odors from well plugging operations do not constitute a nuisance or hazard to public welfare. |

9/22/2023 | Due to proximity to a wetland, surface water, or expected shallow groundwater, operator will use secondary containment for all tanks and other liquid containers. Operator will implement stormwater BMPs and erosion control measures as needed to prevent sediment and stormwater runoff from entering the wetland and surface water. |

9/22/2023 | Operator provided COAs:
3rd party wildlife surveys will be conducted on this well prior to rigging up for P&A activities. Should sensitive HPH conditions be identified during the screening process, Chevron will delay the work until conditions (nesting) clear and/or consult directly with CPW for guidance and discussion of potential mitigation measures that may be incorporated.
Notification will be given to any adjacent building unit occupants within a 1000 feet of the wellhead of planned P&A start date. |

9/26/2023 | 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 ECMC within three (3) months of collecting the samples.
If there is a need for sampling, contact ECMC engineering for verification of plugging procedure.

9/26/2023 | 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) Prior to placing cement above the base of the Upper Pierre (approximately 1580’) : 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. Circulate cement to surface if production casing is not pulled.
4) Leave at least 100’ of cement in the wellbore for each plug without mechanical isolation.
5) Prior to cut and cap, verify isolation by either a 15 minute bubble test or 15 minute optical gas imaging recording. 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.

9/26/2023 | 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 ECMC Spill/Release Report, Form 19, associated with the abandoned line.
