Signage for P&As:
Prior to commencing operations, KMG will post signs in conspicuous locations. The signs will indicate plugging and abandonment operations are being conducted, the well name, well, and the Operator’s contact information. Signs will be placed so as not to create a potential traffic hazard.
Notifications:
Courtesy notifications will be sent to all parcel owners with building units within 1,500 feet of the location letting them know about out plugging and abandonment operations and providing contact information for Kerr McGee's response line and online resources.
Noise:
Operations will be in compliance with Table 423-1 requirements. Based off the rig sound signature, rig orientation will be considered to reduce noise levels to nearby building units. |

03/06/2024 | For Wells with known Bradenhead pressures:
1) Provide 2 business day notice of plugging MIRU via electronic Form 42, and provide 48 hours Notice of Plugging Operations, prior to mobilizing for plugging operations via electronic Form 42. These are 2 separate notifications, required by Rules 408.e and 408.I.
2) After placing the shallowest hydrocarbon isolating plug (1641'), operator must wait a sufficient time to confirm static conditions.
3) After placing plug at 1641’ assure that all fluid migration has been eliminated by monitoring the well for a minimum of 8 hours before proceeding to the next plug. If at any time after placing this plug there is evidence of pressure or of fluid migration, contact ECMC engineering before continuing operations.
4) Prior to placing the 974’ plug: verify that all fluid migration (liquid or gas) has been eliminated. If evidence of fluid migration or pressure remains, contact ECMC Engineer for an update to plugging orders.
5) After isolation has been verified, pump plug and displace. If cement is not circulated to surface, shut-in, WOC 4 hours then tag plug – must be at 819’ or shallower and provide at least 10 sx plug at the surface.
6) After cut and prior to cap, verify isolation by either a 15 minute bubble test or 15 minute optical gas imaging recording. If there is indication of flow contact ECMC Engineering. Provide a statement on the 6SRA which method was used and what was observed. Retain records of final isolation test for 5 years. |
