According to Repsol representative Sheridan Anderson the blender tub overfilled with production fluid (around 20 gals.) onto secondary containment at around 8:50AM on 2/1/2017. The release was cleaned up immediately after it occurred, with a vac truck on site. The incident was then called in to Maribeth Aileo at 11:19 AM

The release occurred because the auto valve lock on the blender failed so the valve was then manually operated, allowing approximately 20 gallons of blended fluid to overflow the blender and escape onto secondary containment. This blended fluid was immediately vac'd up. The valve problem has since been corrected, but there is residual sand trickling from the blender, which is being periodically cleaned up. This is all on

There was 748psi on the production casing and 401psi on the production line. There was a crew on site picking up the containment from the recent drilling and stimulation activity. The 500bbl water tanks that were used during stimulation were still on site and on containment, the containment appeared to be in good condition. I took a walk around the location and there were no obvious concerns noticed. I left the site at 12:10p.m.

2612651 Primary Facility 2017-06-20 Routine/Complete Inspection No Violations Noted Arrived at the site at 12:30. The weather conditions were mostly sunny skies and breezy with temperatures in the low to mid 70's. I met with Rich Cashen, Completions Foreman and Dave Williams, Water Management Coordinator, both of Repsol and Andrew Senefelder, Staff Environmental Scientist of Golder Associates. Mr. Senefelder is in the process of performing a post hydraulic fracturing and completions assessment. Repsol is breaking down containment and cleaning up the site. The assessment consists of spraying distilled water on the pad surface and utilizing a soil conductivity meter immediately after spraying the water to obtain conductivity readings of the pad surface. The intent of the assessment according to Mr. Senefelder and Mr. Cashen is to evaluate the condition of the pad surface where the containment was set in place and others areas of the pad relevant to completions activities. The assessment will also determine if hydraulic fracturing flowback and/or production fluid impacted the pad surface via
2622355 Primary Facility 2017-07-18 Routine/Complete Inspection No Violations Noted I arrived at the site at 12:55. I was accompanied by Frank Hoehle, PADEP O&G WQS during the inspection. The weather conditions were sunny skies with a light breeze, very warm and humid with temperatures in the mid to upper 80's. There was no activity or personnel at the site. All wells at the location are in production. Secondary containment utilized for completions operations has been removed from the site. During the inspection the Department performed specific conductance (electrical conductivity) screening of water on the pad surface, in well cellars, the production fluid tanks containment structure, the gas production units containment structure and frac tank containment structure. There were no elevated conductivity readings of concern. All readings recorded were less than (600) micro Siemens/cm. We were not able to locate a post storm Erosion and Sedimentation inspection report in the mailbox on the access road near the pad entrance. The Department left the site at 13:46.
2636567 Primary Facility 2017-09-06 Incident- Response to Accident or Event No Violations Noted I arrived at the site at 12:54 in response to a reported spill incident of (2) gallons of diesel fuel and (4) gallons of transmission fluid. The weather conditions were cloudy skies, temperatures around 60 degrees, with calm winds. Rainfall has ended recently. I met with Steve Thompson, completions consultations of Repsol. Mr. Thompson stated the following in reference to site activities and the spill incident. "Currently, flowback of the Kropp 3H well is in progress. Over the course of the last week the 5H, 7H, and 9H wells were flowed back. The 1H, 10H and 12H are the next wells to be flowed back. The 2H, 4H, 6H and 8H are in all production. The wells on the Kropp pad were flooded out due to communication with some of the wells on the Repine pad during hydraulic fracturing (stimulation) there. Flowback is needed on this pad now due to the well communication issues. The spill happened on 9/6/17 at 00:40 hours, 12:40 AM. The spill occurred as a result of a vacuum truck hitting a cement block as the driver wa
2640686 Primary Facility 2017-09-27 Follow-up Inspection No Violations Noted On Sept 12,2017 Jon Sassi and I conducted an inspection of the Kropp well site. The man in charge on site representing Ensign was Jimmy White. There had been erosional issues and a spill on site previously. We were on site to conduct a follow up inspection for these issues. The acting company man for Ensign stated they were currently flowing back the 1h well. Jon took conductivity readings at various puddles around the site. Examples are as follows: .67 mS, 1.3, .30 in tank battery, .41, .67, .95, .5, .43, 1.7. Pad was dry during inspection. The flow back lines were not on containment but all appeared dry. 5mS in containment for gasbuster unit. There did not appear to be any anomalous readings on the pad surface of high conductivity at the time of inspection. There were some higher readings but all were in containment. A bucket had readings of 12 mS. Well cellars did not have any high conductivity readings. Some examples were .48mS, .91mS, .89mS, .99mS. Readings in production tank containment were 1.9
2650983 Primary Facility 2017-10-23 Site Restoration No Violations Noted I inspected the Kropp well site for notice of termination (NOT) on October 23, 2017. There had previously been some stability issues following a significant rain event, on the fill slope. The issue has been resolved and is currently solid and stable. The vegetation surrounding the site was healthy and met or exceeded the department standard for perennial growth. The pad surface was solid as was the access road. During operations on site the pad had quite a considerable amount of mud on it but that was not in evidence during the inspection for NOT.

There were no violations

I recommend APPROVAL of this NOT.

2703577 Primary Facility 2018-03-08 Routine/Complete Inspection No Violations Noted At time of inspection.

The well was in production. The cellar was full of water and there was no bubbling noticed. There was a 500bbl tank on containment and the containment appeared to be in good condition. The tank was connected to the bottom of the separators. I took a walk around the location and there were no obvious concerns noticed.

2802770 Primary Facility 2018-11-14 Routine/Complete Inspection No Violations Noted At time of inspection.

The well was in production. The cellar was full of water and over flowing onto the well site with a thin layer of ice and there was no bubbling noticed. There was no sheen noticed on the water and would suggest the cellar be emptied. The (20x13) and (13x9) annuli were below the water level. The (9x5) annulus was venting to the atmosphere. I took a walk around the location and there were no obvious concerns noticed. There were no violations noted.

2852596 Primary Facility 2019-02-15 Incident- Response to Accident or Event No Violations Noted I arrived at the site at 11:04 in response to a reported spill incident of (0.5) gallons of production fluid. The weather conditions are mostly cloudy skies and windy with temperatures around 40 degrees Fahrenheit. Chris Hartman, well tender of Repsol reported the spill incident to the Department. I contacted Mr. Hartman to obtain the details of the spill. See the reporting/releases section in this inspection report for additional details.

I met with Jeffrey Blanton, well tender of Repsol, and Christian Mondi, Environmental Data Systems of Resource Environmental, Montrose, PA. Mr. Blanton informed me the following regarding the spill incident. "Spill was discovered around 3 yesterday, 2-13-19. A hammer union on the flowline on the 3H well leaked. Not sure how long it was leaking. There are no reports of prior leaking. We used absorbent pads to mop up the spill. The well was shut in, and the thread on the hammer union was sealed. The well is back on-line now."

Mr. Mondi provided me the following
