The gas pressure was releasing through the washed out valve. 82 bbls of drilling mud was pumped downhole in order to kill the well so that the compromised valve could be replaced. The well’s high pressure caused drilling mud to mist out of the casing valve for approximately 1.5 hrs during this operation before the well was killed and brought under control. The total volume of mud released is unknown at this time but is estimated to be less than 50 bbls. The vast majority of the released mud was contained within the pad perimeter, though a small portion misted on adjacent vegetation. 400621889 true 2014-06-05T00:00:00-06:00 39.464981 -107.969270 FEE WPX is the surface owner 0 0 0 true <_x0032_7_approved>false S false 0 0 0 >=5 and <100 0 true false true false false 0 2014-06-05T15:31:46.36-06:00 400740214 Attached are the laboratory reports and the sample location map for the soil samples collected from the impacted area, impacted cuttings, and nearby non-impacted native soil in order to close the mud spill that occurred at the GV 86-2 well pad on June 5, 2014. • Three 5 grab samples were collected from the impacted area and were analyzed for the constituents listed in COGCC Table 910-1. • One composite sample was collected from the impacted cuttings management area and was analyzed for the constituents listed in COGCC Table 910-1. • Three grab samples were collected from nearby non-impacted, native soil to establish the background concentrations for arsenic. In accordance with the COGCC Rule 910.b.(3)E. one grab sample was analyzed for inorganics to establish background soil conditions. As the attached lab reports indicate, all constituents of concern listed in the COGCC Table 910-1 tested below the cleanup requirements or below the background concentrations with the exception of the inorganics. Therefore, in accordance with COGCC guideline Q32 regarding inorganics, the impacted area will be covered with 3’ of clean soil during the interim reclamation of this well pad. Based on these results, WPX respectfully requests closure of this incident. 400740214 400740214 FORM 19 SUBMITTED 400740214.pdf 400740214 400740217 ANALYTICAL RESULTS WPX GV 86-2 Spill Closure Attachment.pdf 2702490 400740214 1 SPILL 2014-06-05T00:00:00-06:00 COGCC Dave Andrews
