10/1/2012 | ConocoPhillips has adopted the Colorado Oil and Gas Association (COGA) voluntary groundwater testing program to establish baseline groundwater quality conditions around new oil well locations in their leased area. The sampling program will allow the company (ConocoPhillips) to evaluate the groundwater conditions before drilling a well and also to monitor water quality afterward.
The program will be in accordance with the guidance set forth in the Voluntary Baseline Groundwater Quality Sampling Program last updated on November 15, 2011. Under the sampling protocol, water samples would be collected from the two closest groundwater sources with reasonable access. The sample points, permitted or registered wells, would located within ½ mile of the proposed well surface location.
Sampling will be conducted based on the landowner granting access to the well location and agreeing to have the laboratory analytical results submitted to COGCC for posting to a database viewable by the public.
Samples will be analyzed for the constituents listed in Table 1 of the Groundwater Sampling and Analytical Program.

9/15/2020 | Secondary Containment
All facilities will be equipped with remote monitoring and remote shut down, which includes isolation at the well head. Engineered liner systems will be used in secondary steel containment systems for tank batteries. Pollution control containers (spill boxes) will be used on truck loading lines and placed within the limits of the secondary containment system. Automatic shutdown level devices will be installed on each tank with remote monitoring capabilities. Automatic shutdown level devices will be installed on all pressure vessels and liquid knockouts. Automatic shutdown pressure devices will be installed on flowlines from well heads to facilities with remote monitoring capabilities. Additionally, cathodic protection will be used on buried steel lines to mitigate corrosion. Automatic shutdown pressure devices will be installed on process vessels with remote monitoring capabilities. |

9/15/2020 | Emissions Controls
Combustors will be available at the Location during the entire production phase to eliminate fugitive emissions in the event of maintenance or emergency use. The device will be fired using natural gas and operate with a 98% or higher hydrocarbon destruction efficiency. The device will be designed and operated in a manner that will ensure no visible emissions during normal operation. Test separators and associated flow lines, sand traps and emission control systems shall be installed on-site to accommodate green completions techniques. When commercial quantities of salable quality gas are achieved at each well, the gas shall be immediately directed to a sales line or shut in and conserved. If a sales line is unavailable or other conditions prevent placing the gas into a sales line, Operator shall not produce the wells without an approved variance per Rule 805.b.(3)C. |
