- SandRidge will use hospital-grade mufflers on production equipment including: compressors, pump jacks, or other motors necessary to run operations at the site. Mufflers will be pointed upward to dissipate potential vibration (not applicalbe for any equipment that will be enclosed to mitigate noise).
- SandRidge will use combustion chambers or enclosed flaring devices to eliminate open flares at this location. |
| Storm Water/Erosion Control | Form: (02A )
401860580
9/14/2019 | Storm Water/Erosion Controls:
- SandRidge will implement a stormwater and erosion control plan to prevent sedimentation and erosion. The use of berms, seeding of slopes on outside of location, waddles and silt fencing will be used to prevent erosion and non-source pollution. These items also control water runioff in a manner that minimizes erosion, transport of sediment offsite, and site degradation. At the Spicer Annex well pad, the operator will construct a compacted earthen perimeter berm at least 18” in height, and the outside slopes will be seeded. It will be surrounded by silt fencing to prevent erosion.

| Material Handling and Spill Prevention | Form: (02A )
401860580
9/14/2019 | Material Handling and Spill Prevention:
- For offsite fluid/product storage - all produced fluids will be routed to a new 8-inch offsite pipeline to the existing Surprise-Damfino S6 Pad (Location ID #416625, Lot 11 Sec 6 T6N R80W) located approximately 1.35 miles south-southwest of this new location. The separators on the existing Surprise-Damfino S6 Pad location have built-in containment. Following separation, the produced fluids will then be routed via onsite flowlines to the onsite tank battery facility (6 oil tanks and 3 produced water tanks) with existing secondary containment system features (synthetic liners tied into earthen berms).
- To protect groundwater resources, operator will use of cathodic protection on buried steel lines to mitigate corrosion.
- To protect surface water and groundwater resources, the wells located on this pad will be equipped with remote shut-in capabilities prior to commencing production. Remote shut-in capabilities include the ability to shut-in the well remotely via automation controls. Operator will also have remote monitoring and shut down capabilities including automatic shutdown pressure devices installed on process vessels. |
| Construction | Form: (02A )
401860580
9/14/2019 | Construction:
- During construction only the minimum amount of vegetation necessary for the construction of roads and facilities was removed. Topsoil was conserved during excavation and has be reused as cover on disturbed areas to facilitate regrowth of vegetation. No construction or routine maintenance activities are performed during periods when the soil is too wet to
adequately support construction equipment.
- Light sources will be directed downwards and away from public roads and occupied structures. |
| Emissions mitigation | Form: (02A )
401860580
9/14/2019 | Emisssions Mitigation:
- SandRidge will follow all requirements of COGCC’s current policy - NOTICE TO OPERATORS, Rule 912. VENTING OR FLARING PRODUCED NATURAL GAS – STATEWIDE, dated January 12, 2016; and to Rule 912. VENTING OR FLARING NATURAL GAS. a. thru e. in regards to venting and flaring; potential odors associated with the completions process and/or with long term production operations must be controlled/mitigated in adherence to COGCC’s current policy and rules. |
| Drilling/Completion Operations | Form: (02A )
401860580
9/14/2019 | Drilling/Completions:
- SandRidge uses a portable containment liner under the substructure of the drilling rig during drilling activities. This protects shallow groundwater from any potential spills surrounding the rig during drilling. A liquid release would simply be vacuumed up from the liner. When drilling activity is completed, the liner is removed and transferred to the next drilling location.
- The moisture content of all drill cuttings managed onsite shall be kept as low as practicable to prevent accumulation of liquids greater than de minimis amounts.
- All cuttings generated during drilling will be kept in tanks or containers, or placed in a bermed portion of the well pad prior to disposition. The surface where the cuttings will be placed shall be constructed to be sufficiently impervious (or lined) to keep any material from migrating into the subsurface.
- The trucks used for offsite disposal will have a liner and the operator will implement measures (covers, misting, etc.) to reduce dust and PM emissions during transport of solids materials from the well pad location.
- Flowback and stimulation fluids will be sent to enclosed tanks, separators, or other containment or filtering equipment before the fluids can be placed into any pipeline, storage vessel, or into tanker trucks for offsite disposal.
- No open top tanks will be used for initial flowback fluids containment.
- Secondary containment for flowback storage tanks will meet the requirements of Rule 906.d.(1). |
