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. |
Engineer | Form: (06 ) 402348027 5/6/2020 | 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.

Engineer | Form: (06 ) 402348027 5/6/2020 | For Wells with known Bradenhead pressures:
1) Provide 48-hour notice of plugging MIRU via electronic Form 42.
2) The plug at 1000’ needs to be placed and have an 8-hour WOC to assure that all fluid migration has been stopped. If that doesn’t isolate the flow, additional attempts in front of the surface shoe plug will need to be attempted. Other downhole potential squeeze opportunities may need to be looked at before the 970’ plug.
3) Prior to placing the 970’ 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.
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 764’ or shallower and provide 10 sx plug at the surface. Leave at least 100’ of cement in the casing for each plug.
5) Properly abandon flowlines as per Rule 1105. File electronic Form 42 once abandonment is 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.
6) With the Form 6 SRA operator must provide written documentation which positively affirms each COA has been addressed.
7) After placing the shallowest hydrocarbon isolating plug (1000'), 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.

Engineer | Form: (04 ) 402569460 2/3/2021 | 1. Operator will 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. Well to be plugged no later than 12/31/2021. Pressure is to be managed and mitigated until plugging is complete. Summary of well monitoring and mitigation will be submitted on a Form 4 Sundry within 30 days of the well being plugged and abandoned but no later than 12/31/2021. The sundry should include monthly pressure monitoring data, flow rate information, sample analysis interpretation, and bradenhead test description.
3. Shut in bradenhead pressure shall not exceed 50 psig. |

2. Well to plugged no later than 12/31/2022. Pressure is to be managed and mitigated until plugging is complete. Summary of well monitoring and mitigation will be submitted on a Form 4 Sundry within 30 days of the well being plugged and abandoned but no later than 12/31/2022.

OGLA | Form: (06 ) 403001676 4/21/2022 | 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 proximity of building units (BUs) all blowdown gases will be controlled. |
Engineer | Form: (06 ) 403001676 4/22/2022 | 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.
