The well’s high pressure caused produced water and flowback fluid to mist out of the casing valve for approximately 17 hrs before the well was brought under control. The exact volume of fluids released is unknown at this time but is estimated to be between 200-240 bbls. 200 bbls of fluids was recovered with vacuum trucks. The vast majority of the released fluids was contained within the pad perimeter, though approximately 2 bbls left the location through a saturated section of the pad’s perimeter berm. 400660215 true 2014-08-08T00:00:00-06:00 39.880483 -108.366926 FEDERAL 0 0 0 true <_x0032_7_approved>false S false 0 0 >=100 0 >=100 true false true false false 0 2014-08-09T13:48:01.483-06:00 400749250 Attached are the laboratory reports and the sample location map for soil samples collected from the impacted area and nearby non-impacted native soil in order to close the produced water spill that occurred at the RG 12-14-298 well pad on September 8, 2014. • Four grab samples were collected from the impacted area and were analyzed for the constituents listed in Table 910-1. • Four 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 and final reclamation of this facility. Based on these results, WPX respectfully requests closure of this incident. 400749250 400749250 FORM 19 SUBMITTED 400749250.pdf 400749250 400749252 ANALYTICAL RESULTS RG 12-14-298 Spill closure attachment.pdf 3022236 400749250 1 SPILL 2014-08-09T00:00:00-06:00 COGCC Stan Spencer
