04/20/2023 | 1. Operator will 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 mitigation, if a sample has not been collected within the last twelve months collect bradenhead and production gas samples for laboratory analysis. Sampling will comply with Operator Guidance - Bradenhead Testing and Reporting Instructions, Appendix A: Liquid and Gas Sampling. Copies of all final laboratory analytical results will be provided to the COGCC within three months of collecting the samples.
3. Operator will implement measures to get an initial estimate of the gas flow rate and/or volume from the bradenhead. During the shut-in period record pressure data to adequately characterize the build-up. This mitigation plan may be used for six consecutive months from the date test reported on the Form 17.
4. At the conclusion of the six months (09/03/2023), 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, sample analysis interpretation, and the flow rate information and pressure data.
Shut in bradenhead pressure shall not exceed 50 psig.

06/27/2023 | This oil and gas location is within a CPW-mapped bald eagle roost or communal roost Rule 309.e.(1) consultation habitat. CPW may choose to consult on this planned P&A to develop site specific measures to avoid, minimize, and mitigate impacts to wildlife prior to conducting the work. Please note that non-emergency plugging and abandonment (PA) activities should not take place from November 15 to March 15. Please confirm via email if a consultation with CPW has or will occur and provide any operator BMPs that are the result of that consultation. |

07/06/2023 | 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.

07/06/2023 | 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) After placing plug at 2300’ 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.
3) Prior to placing cement above the base of the Upper Pierre (approximately 1340’): 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.
4) If surface casing shoe plug is not circulated to surface, shut-in, WOC 4 hours then tag plug – must be at 594’ or shallower and provide a minimum of 10 sx plug at the surface.
5) Leave at least 100’ of cement in the wellbore for each plug without mechanical isolation.
6) With the Form 6 SRA operator must provide written documentation which positively affirms each COA listed above has been addressed.

07/06/2023 | 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.

09/11/2023 | 1. Operator will 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. Well to plugged no later than 09/01/2024. Pressure is to be managed and mitigated until plugging is complete. Summary of well monitoring and mitigation will be submitted on a Form 4 Sundry within 30 days of the well being plugged and abandoned. The sundry should include monthly pressure monitoring data, flow rate information, sample analysis interpretation, and bradenhead test description.
3. Shut in bradenhead pressure shall not exceed 50 psig.
4. If a sample has not been collected within the last twelve months collect bradenhead and production gas samples for laboratory analysis. Sampling will comply with Operator Guidance - Bradenhead Testing and Reporting Instructions, Appendix A: Liquid and Gas Sampling. Copies of all final laboratory analytical results will be provided to the COGCC within three months of collecting the samples.
