Engineer | Form: (02 ) 400357869 12/17/2012 | 1)Provide notice of MIRU via an electronic Form 42.
2)Comply with Rule 317.i and provide cement coverage to a minimum of 200' above the Niobrara. Verify cement coverage with a cement bond log per 317.o.
|
Permit | Form: (02 ) 400357869 1/8/2013 | As the proposed BHL is projected to be at the intersection for four quarter/quarters (not all of which has been described as being under lease by the operator) therefore the distance to the nearest lease line would be zero. This proposed BHL would be greater than 460' from the unit boundary. |
OGLA | Form: (06 ) 403617311 6/14/2024 | Operator committed to the following Best Management Practices under the Technical Detail/ Comments section on the Submit Tab:
3rd party wildlife surveys will be conducted on this well prior to rigging up for P&A activities. Please be aware that Form 6 Approval can predate actual rig work by up to several months and that environmental conditions can change quickly over that time. Chevron’s Environmental Site Screening Process incorporates full environmental field clearances within 7 days of a scheduled well-work activity once the well is added to the active workover rig schedule. Should sensitive HPH conditions be identified during the screening process, Chevron will delay the work until conditions (nesting) clear and/or consult directly with CPW for guidance and discussion of potential mitigation measures that may be incorporated. |
OGLA | Form: (06 ) 403617311 6/14/2024 | Due to proximity to a mapped wetland, surface water and expected shallow groundwater, operator will use secondary containment for all tanks and other liquid containers. Operator will implement stormwater BMPs and erosion control measures as needed to prevent sediment and stormwater runoff from entering wetlands and surface waters. |
OGLA | Form: (06 ) 403617311 6/14/2024 | This oil and gas location is located within a CPW-mapped 500 foot buffer of the Ordinary High Water Mark of the Box Elder Creek for protection of Aquatic Native Species Conservation Water High Priority Habitat. At a minimum, Operator will review the stormwater program and implement stormwater BMPs and erosion control measures as needed to prevent fine-grained sediment and impacted stormwater runoff from entering surface water. |
Engineer | Form: (06 ) 403617311 6/20/2024 | 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. |
Engineer | Form: (06 ) 403617311 6/20/2024 | Operator shall implement measures to control venting, 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 welfare. |
Engineer | Form: (06 ) 403617311 6/20/2024 | 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 (2430'), operator must wait a sufficient time to confirm static conditions.
3) After placing plug at 2430’ 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 1243’ 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 993’ or shallower and provide at least 10 sx plug at the surface.
6) After surface plug 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.
7) With the Form 6 SRA operator must provide written documentation which positively affirms each COA has been addressed. |
Engineer | Form: (06 ) 403617311 6/20/2024 | 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. |
