Storm Water/Erosion Control | Form: (02 ) 400832146 7/15/2015 | Storm Water Management Plan (SWMP) will be in place to address construction, drilling and operations associated with oil and gas development through the state of Colorado in accordance with CDPHE General Permit Rules. BMP’s will vary according to location and will remain in place until the pad reaches final reclamation. |
Material Handling and Spill Prevention | Form: (02 ) 400832146 7/15/2015 | Spill prevention control and countermeasure plan is in place to address construction, drilling and operations associated with oil and gas development throughout the state of Colorado in accordance with CFR 112. |
Drilling/Completion Operations | Form: (02 ) 400832146 7/15/2015 | Open-hole Resistivity Log with Gamma Ray Log will be run from the kick-off point into the surface casing. A Cement Bond Log with Gamma-Ray will be run on production casing, or on intermediate casing if a production liner is run. The horizontal portion of the wellbore will be logged with a measured-while-drilling gamma-ray log. The Form 5, Completion Report, will list all logs run and have those logs attached. |
Drilling/Completion Operations | Form: (02 ) 400832146 7/15/2015 | 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. |
