Engineer | Form: (06 ) 401492797 1/15/2018 | 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. |
Engineer | Form: (06 ) 401492797 1/15/2018 | Post Plugging Reporting
• Form 17 Bradenhead Test Report shall be submitted within 10 days of the test.
• File electronic Form 42 once flowline abandonment is complete.
• 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. |
Engineer | Form: (06 ) 401492797 1/15/2018 | Plugging
• Provide 48 hour notice of plugging MIRU via electronic Form 42.
• Per operator request corrected casing cut depth to 1350'. Stub plug will be 1450-1250 and tagged.
• If there is fluid migration or shut-in pressure on the well prior to pumping any plug(annular or casing) that isolates deepest aquifer or the surface casing shoe (whichever is deeper) contact COGCC Engineer for revised plugging orders.
• If the shoe plug, or combined stub/shoe plug, is not circulated to the surface then the plug shall be tagged and must be 50’ into the shoe, or 50’ above the cut, whichever is shallower.
• Place a 50' plug(minimum) at the surface, all other plugs shall have at least 100' of cement left in the casing.
• Properly abandon flowlines as per Rule 1103. |
Engineer | Form: (06 ) 401492797 1/15/2018 | Bradenhead Testing
Prior to starting plugging operations, a bradenhead test shall be performed. If the initial shut-in bradenhead pressure is greater than 25 psi or liquid is present at any time during the test, sampling is required. Sampling shall comply with Operator Guidance - Bradenhead Testing and Reporting Instructions, Appendix A: Liquid and Gas Sampling. |
