8/22/2016 | 1) Prior to starting repair work, a bradenhead test shall be performed and samples collected. The Form 17 shall be submitted within 10 days of the test. The Operator will 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. Collect samples of liquids in the Bradenhead, 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) If pressure test described in step #12 of procedure does not hold for 15 minutes, contact COGCC Engineer before proceeding with the workover.
3) After completing annular fill job a Bradenhead Test shall be performed within the next 30 days and the Form 17 submitted within 10 days of the test. If pressure remains on the Bradenhead or any liquids were present during the test additional well work will be required.
4) The additional cement referenced shall be placed as indicated. The placed cement shall be verified with a CBL and documented with a Form 5. |

5/1/2020 | 1. Operator shall 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 shall comply with Operator Guidance - Bradenhead Testing and Reporting Instructions, Appendix A: Liquid and Gas Sampling. Copies of all final laboratory analytical results shall be provided to the COGCC within three months of collecting the samples.
3. Operator shall 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.
4. This mitigation plan may be used for six consecutive months from the approved sundry date. At the conclusion of the six months, 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 and the flow rate information and pressure data. |

2/29/2024 | Operator will implement measures to capture, combust, or control emissions to protect health and safety, and to ensure that vapors and odors from well plugging operations do not constitute a nuisance or hazard to public health, welfare and the environment. Due to the proximity of residential building units (RBUs) all blowdown gasses will be controlled. |

403685282
2/29/2024 | Due to close proximity to Residential Building Units (RBUs): prior to commencing operations, at a minimum, the operator will provide an informational sheet to the owners/occupants of RBUs that are nearby and adjacent to the parcel on which the well is located. The sheet will include the operator's contact information and the nature, timing, and expected duration of the P&A operations. |
| OGLA | Form: (06 )

2/29/2024 | Due to proximity of plugging and abandonment (P&A) operations to RBUs, operator will comply with Table 423 Maximum Permissible Noise Levels for residential land use. Prior to initiating work, operator will install temporary sound walls, straw bales, or other BMPs to dampen noise if necessary for compliance. |

3/4/2024 | 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. |

3/4/2024 | For Wells with known Bradenhead pressures:
1) Provide 2 business day notice of plugging MIRU via electronic Form 42, and provide 48 hours Notice of Plugging Operations, prior to mobilizing for plugging operations via electronic Form 42. These are 2 separate notifications, required by Rules 408.e and 408.I.
2) After placing the shallowest hydrocarbon isolating plug (2360'), operator must wait a sufficient time to confirm static conditions.
3) After placing plug at 2360’ 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.
4) Prior to placing the 1285’ plug: verify that all fluid migration (liquid or gas) has been eliminated. If evidence of fluid migration or pressure remains, contact ECMC Engineer for an update to plugging orders.
5) 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 1134’ or shallower and provide at least 10 sx plug at the surface.
6) After cut and prior to cap, verify isolation by either a 15 minute bubble test or 15 minute optical gas imaging recording. 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. |

3/4/2024 | FLOWLINE AND SITE CLOSURE
1) 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.
2) 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. |
