4/6/2017 | 1) Due to past bradenhead pressure; within 60 days prior to starting plugging operations, a bradenhead test shall be performed. The Form 17 shall be submitted within 10 days of the test. Prior to plugging, collect bradenhead and production gas samples for laboratory analysis. The gas analysis shall be for composition and stable carbon isotopes. The compositional analysis at a minimum shall include Hydrogen, Argon, Oxygen, Carbon Dioxide, Nitrogen, Methane, Ethene, Ethane, Propene, Propane, Isobutane, Butane, Isopentane, Pentane, Hexanes +, Specific Gravity and British Thermal Units (BTU). Stable carbon isotope analysis shall include delta DC1, delta 13C1, delta 13C2, delta 13C3, delta 13IC4, delta 13NC4, delta 13IC5 (if possible), delta 13NC5 (if possible), delta 13C6+ (if possible) and stable isotopes of CO2 if possible. If liquid is encountered in the bradenhead then collect samples, analysis of the liquid samples shall be conducted to provide an evaluation of the liquid source. Submit for the laboratory analysis of major anions (chloride, carbonate, bicarbonate, and sulfate), cations (sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium) total dissolved solids (TDS), BTEX, DRO, GRO and dissolved gasses (RSK 175). If there is a limited amount of water available then anions, cations and BTEX should be given first priority. If sufficient condensate is present to collect a sample then it should be submitted for whole oil by GC analysis or equivalent. The analysis should include the bio-markers Phytane and Pristane. Copies of all final laboratory analytical results shall be provided to the COGCC within three months of collecting the samples in an approved electronic data deliverable format.
2) Provide 48 hour notice of plugging MIRU via electronic Form 42.
3) Properly abandon flowlines as per Rule 1103. File electronic Form 42 once abandonment complete.
4) Production casing stub plug is also surface casing shoe plug. After pumping stub/shoe plug, shut down and wait on cement at minimum 4 hours; verify gas migration has been eliminated. If evidence of gas migration or pressure remains contact COGCC Engineer for an update to plugging orders. Plug must be tagged at 654’ or shallower. Leave at least 100’ cement in the wellbore for each plug. |
