06/01/2023 | Prior to commencing operations, the operator will post signs in conspicuous locations at intersections that will remain in place throughout the duration of the plug and abandonment activities. The signs will indicate plugging and abandonment operations are being conducted, the well name, well, and the applicable contact information. Signs will be placed so as not to create a potential traffic hazard. |

06/06/2023 | 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 (2200'), operator must wait a sufficient time to confirm static conditions.
3) After placing plug at 2200’ 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 COGCC engineering before continuing operations.
4) Prior to placing the 578’ plug: verify that all fluid migration (liquid or gas) has been eliminated. If evidence of fluid migration or pressure remains, contact COGCC 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 428’ or shallower and provide at least 10 sx plug at the surface.
6) With the Form 6 SRA operator must provide written documentation which positively affirms each COA has been addressed. |
