11/10/2020 | With next year’s sundry provide a more specific plan forward. Merely specifying that the well will be plugged or RTP before the next MIT is not sufficient.
EG. Bonanza Creek is working through a large backlog of PA work. Based on budgeting, Bonanza Creek currently plans to plug a total of AAA wells in in 2020, and BBB wells in 2021. Thus far, Bonanza Creek has plugged CCC wells in 2020 and is on track to meet our annual target. Currently, this well is planned to be plugged in 2021.
This type of comment demonstrates that Bonanza Creek has a concrete plan forward and that said plan is being acted upon. Furthermore, this doesn't require an overly specific timeline for each well (which we understand is challenging to plan).

03/24/2021 | 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. |

03/24/2021 | 1) Provide 2 business day notice of plugging MIRU via electronic Form 42.
2) After placing the shallowest hydrocarbon isolating plug (3800'), operator must wait a sufficient time 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.
3) Prior to placing the 1550’ plug: verify that all fluid migration (liquid and gas) has been eliminated. If evidence of fluid migration or pressure remains, contact COGCC Engineer for an update to plugging orders.
4) After isolation has been verified, pump plug and displace. If cement is not circulated to surface, shut-in, WOC 4 hours then tag plug – must be at 362’ or shallower and provide 10 sx plug at the surface.
5) Leave at least 100’ of cement in the wellbore for each plug.
6) Properly abandon flowlines as per Rule 1105. Pursuant to Rule 911.a. Closure of Oil and Gas Facilities, Operator will submit Site Investigation and Remediation Workplans via Form 27 for COGCC prior approval before cutting and capping the plugged well, conducting flowline abandonment, and removing production equipment. Pursuant to Rule 1105.f. Abandonment Verification, within 90 days of an operator completing abandonment requirements for a flowline or crude oil transfer line, an operator must submit a Field Operations Notice, Form 42-Abandonment of Flowlines for on-location flowlines, and a Flowline Report, Form 44, for off-location flowlines or crude oil transfer lines.
7) With the Form 6 SRA operator must provide written documentation which positively affirms each COA has been addressed. |
