02/17/2017 | 1) Prior to starting repair work, a bradenhead test shall be performed, the Form 17 shall be submitted within 10 days of the test and collect bradenhead and production gas samples for laboratory analysis. The gas analysis shall be for composition and stable carbon isotopes. The compositional analysis at a minimum shall include Hydrogen, Argon, Oxygen, Carbon Dioxide, Nitrogen, Methane, Ethene, Ethane, Propene, Propane, Isobutane, Butane, Isopentane, Pentane, Hexanes +, Specific Gravity and British Thermal Units (BTU). Stable carbon isotope analysis shall include delta DC1, delta 13C1, delta 13C2, delta 13C3, delta 13IC4, delta 13NC4, delta 13IC5 (if possible), delta 13NC5 (if possible), delta 13C6+ (if possible) and stable isotopes of CO2 if possible. If water is encountered in the bradenhead then collect samples, analysis of the liquid samples shall be conducted to provide an evaluation of the liquid source. Submit for the laboratory analysis of major anions (chloride, carbonate, bicarbonate, and sulfate), cations (sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium) total dissolved solids (TDS), BTEX, DRO, GRO and dissolved gasses (RSK 175). If there is a limited amount of water available then anions, cations and BTEX should be given first priority. Copies of all final laboratory analytical results shall be provided to the COGCC within three months of collecting the samples in an approved electronic data deliverable format.
2) The additional cement referenced shall be placed as indicated. The placed cement shall be verified with a CBL and documented with a Form 5.
3) After completing well repair work, a Bradenhead Test shall be performed within the next 60 days and the Form 17 submitted within 10 days of the test. |

02/07/2018 | Prior to starting plugging operations a bradenhead test shall be performed.
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. |

02/07/2018 | 1) Provide 48 hour notice of plugging MIRU via electronic Form 42.
2) Properly abandon all flowlines as per Rule 1103. File electronic Form 42 once abandonment complete.
3) 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.
4) After pumping squeeze, shut down and wait on cement at minimum 4 hours; verify gas migration has been eliminated. If evidence of gas migration or pressure remains contact COGCC Engineer for an update to plugging orders. Production casing stub plug is also surface casing shoe plug, this plug must be tagged. Leave at least 100’ of cement in the wellbore for each plug. |
