12/14/2012 | ConocoPhillips Groundwater Monitoring Program
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.
