| Drilling/Completion Operations | Form: (02A )
400827481
7/24/2015 | Preferred Option: It is the intent of the County that operators utilize closed-loop or modified closed-loop systems for drilling and completion operations in order to minimize or eliminate the need for earthen pits; however, notwithstanding the foregoing, where appropriate, and subject to prior County approval, the County generally supports: 1) the use of unlined drilling pits when bentonite or a similar clay additive is used during the drilling process, and 2) the use of lined single- or multi-well water storage pits in order to minimize the transport of water and promote recycling, subject to the requirements set forth in this subsection. Permitted modified closedloop systems include oil and gas wells where air or fresh water is used to drill through the surface casing interval, defined as fifty (50) feet below the depth of the deepest aquifer, and a closed loop system is used for the remainder of the drilling and/or completion or recompletion procedures. Multi-well pits are defined as lined, engineered pits, constructed over an engineered base, with construction or liner
specifications meeting or exceeding Commission pit lining rules, that will serve the functions of drilling, completion, and/or flowback pits for more than one well.

1/14/2021 | 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. |
| Emissions mitigation | Form: (02A )
402289770
1/14/2021 | 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.
Wells were completed using green completions methodologies as prescribed in Rule 805.b. (3)C, and was produced with emissions reduction BMPs to include VRTs, permanent gas pipeline connection, and routine LDAR inspections in accordance with COGCC, CDPHE and City of Aurora requirements at the time that the location was constructed.
The device was 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. |
