4/13/2019 | Plugging
• Provide 48 hour notice of plugging MIRU via electronic Form 42.
• Plugs and squeezes will be placed as stated in the plugging procedure of the approved NOI unless revised by COA or prior approval from COGCC is obtained.
• Run CBL on surface casing and submit to COGCC Area Engineer for review prior to cementing the surface casing shoe.
• COGCC Change: Move CIBP with 2 sx of cement from 8445’ to 8400’, above J.
• COGCC Change: Move casing cut to 2500’, open hole plug to 2500-2300’, below base of UPA.
• Tag 2500-2300’ plug if circulation is not maintained during pumping and displacement of plug to depth, 100’ minimum height required.
• Due to a history of Bradenhead pressure as reported on the pre-plugging Form 17 operator will wait 8 hours after pumping plug at 2500-2300’, tag and assure that there is no pressure or flow before proceeding with plugging operations. Contact COGCC Area Engineer if well is not static at this time.
• COGCC Change: Increase surface plug to 100-0’, adjust cement volume accordingly, aquifer.
• Check for fluid migration or shut-in pressure on the well prior to pumping any plug(open hole, annular or casing) that isolates deepest aquifer or the surface casing shoe (whichever is deeper). Contact COGCC Engineer for revised plugging orders if well is not static at this time, prior to continuing with plugging operations.
• Tag required if the shoe plug, or combined stub/shoe plug, is not circulated to the surface. Shoe plug shall be placed as specified herein and the top of cement must be a minimum 50’ into the shoe, or 50’ above the stub (if not cut below the shoe), whichever is shallower.
• Place a 50' plug (minimum) at the surface, both inside the inner most casing and in all annular spaces. All other cement plugs, without mechanical isolation, shall have at least 100' of cement left in the casing.
• Properly abandon on-location flowlines as per Rule 1105. File electronic Form 42 once abandonment complete. Within 30 days of an operator completing abandonment requirements for an off-location flowline or crude oil transfer line the operator must submit a Flowline Report, Form 44.
• Document all COAs have been satisfied on Form 6 SRA.

2) Pressure remains at the conclusion of the test, or
3) Any liquids are present anytime during the test. If so, then stop the test as soon as liquids are present and sample before resuming the test.
• Form 17 Bradenhead Test Report shall be submitted within 10 days of the test.

Submit via a Form 43 to upload the laboratory results to the COGCC Environmental Database. Form 43 instructions are on COGCC’s website under Regulation => Forms => Form 43 COGCC Environmental Database.
