11/27/2019 | Plugging
1) Provide 48 hour notice of plugging MIRU via electronic Form 42.
2) Properly abandon flowlines as per Rule 1105. File electronic Form 42 once abandonment complete. Within 30 days of an operator completing abandonment requirements for an off-location flowline or crude oil transfer line the operator must submit a Flowline Report, Form 44.
3) Plugs and squeezes will be placed as stated in the Plugging Procedure section of the approved NOIA unless revised by COA or prior approval from COGCC is obtained.
4) The wellbore must be static prior to placing cement plugs which are to be a minimum of 100' in length for all but surface plugs. Mechanical isolation requires a 25' cement plug, minimum.
5) Place a 50' plug (minimum) at the surface, both inside the inner most casing and in all annular spaces. Confirm cement to surface in all strings during cut and cap.
6) With the Form 6 SRA operator must provide written documentation which positively affirms each COA has been addressed.
7) Contact area inspector prior to commencing plugging operations.
8) No current Form 17 on file with COGCC. Contact COGCC area engineer with results of pre-plugging bradenhead test for confirmation of plugging procedure prior to commencing plugging operations.
9) After placing the shallowest hydrocarbon isolating plug (2300-2100'), operator must wait a sufficient time on all subsequent plugs to confirm static conditions. If at any time after placing this plug there is evidence of pressure or of fluid migration, contact COGCC engineering before continuing operations.

11/27/2019 | Bradenhead Testing
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.

03/02/2026 | 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 details with the Form 27. |

03/02/2026 | 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. |

03/02/2026 | 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 (1825') : 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 – must be at 1024’ 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) 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. |
