0000528053 2017-08-09 Production Wells No Violations The purpose of my inspection was to conduct a status check on well #2-1721-01. An entrance sign with correct identification was present. The lease road and well pad remained in good repair. A locked chain link fence was constructed around the facility. No signs of vandalism were present. A stable earthen berm was present outside of the fenced perimeter. Correct identification was present. The well cellar contained fresh water near free board. No leaks were detected. The 9.625 annular pressure gauge indicated 0 psi. The 5.5 annular pressure gauge indicated 850 psi. A stainless relief line plumbed to the downstream side of the flow line remained in place. The well was flowing during the inspection. The 5.5 production casing was equipped with a plunger lift assembly. Production equipment on the pad remained in place and was functioning. I will contact Chesapeake Regulatory Affairs Manager Jody Jones regarding the 5.5 annular pressure.
0300157536 2013-01-07 Completion Testing No Violations I stopped by the site to do a status check. All present flare testing and production testing appears completed. There is no equipment remaining but one trailer. The wellhead is built.
0329449855 2017-02-28 Production Wells No Violations The purpose of my inspection was to witness the release of pressure from the 5.5 production casing annulus. ODNR-DOGRM Inspector John Fleming was also on location to witness the test. Chesapeake lease operator Rob Whitmyer was on location to conduct the test. After discussing the procedure Mr. Whitmyer would perform to release the pressure and collect material samples. Prior to opening up the needle valve, the 5.5 production casing annular pressure gauge indicated 1100 psi. Mr. Whitmyer retrieved a steel bucket to capture any fluid. Upon opening the valve, a fluid appearing to either be drilling mud or a mud flush designed to recover drilling mud was collected in the bucket. Pressure steadily declined until the valve became packed off with material at 500 psi. Mr. Whitmyer closed the needle valve and pressure began to increase. I monitored the increasing pressure and after twenty (20) minutes, the pressure had recovered to 800 psi. After one (1) hour, annular pressure had recovered to 850 psi. I will discuss observations with Northeast Regional Manager Thomas Hill as part of an ongoing investigation to monitor and mitigate annular pressure.
0463189854 2012-08-10 Drill / Deepen / Reopen No Violations I was at the site to check the progress on the conductor drilling operation. Due to continued issues with caving under the cellar, Chesapeake personnel elected to excavate a pit, and fill it with concrete and boulders to create a stable pad for the conductor rig. The excavation was completed, and a wait time to resume drilling of 48 hours was established.
0514345413 2012-11-27 Completion Testing No Violations I stopped by the site to do a status check and found a service rig on site. I met with completions consultant Buddy Allen. He indicated that the well had been hydraulically fractured with six stages, and the rig was on location to drill out the plugs in preparation to run production tubing.
0534043460 2012-08-29 Drill / Deepen / Reopen No Violations I stopped by to check on the move-in progress of the drilling rig. I found that the rig was largely set up, but several equipment items were still in route to the site. I met with drilling consultant Mike Kirkpatrick. He indicated that if all went according to current plans, they would spud in the next few days.

1117630343 2012-08-20 Drill / Deepen / Reopen No Violations I stopped by to check on the move-in progress of the drilling rig. I found that preparations were underway, and some rig equipment was on site. Mat boards were down, secondary containment was staged. I met with drilling consultants Joe Bailey and Will Brussard. They indicated they were still waiting on mud pits and some other equipment.
1189609748 2012-10-01 Drill / Deepen / Reopen No Violations I went to the site to with Rob Leidy of the Ohio Department of Health to pick up samples of drill cuttings and drilling mud. The rig had reached total depth, and was rigging up the casing crew at 11am in preparation to install the production casing.
1262692185 2012-08-13 Drill / Deepen / Reopen No Violations On 8/13/2012, I was on location to check the drilling of the 20 conductor they are having problems getting the conductor in the well bore. They broke the 20 conductor off at a weld joint 16 below ground level that left 84 of casing in the well. The decision was made to run 16 casing inside the 20 and cement it to surface but it would not go. Chesapeakes Drilling Forman shut every thing down they will move a drilling rig on location to drill a 17.5 bore and run there 13 surface casing with centralizers and cement it to surface.
1289017855 2016-04-04 Production Wells No Violations I was on location for a status check. My inspection found the access road gate locked and the

access road is in good repair. An identification sign at the access road entrance, well, and tank battery. The pad is fenced and all man doors are locked. The #8H well is in production. The well is equipped with a christmas tree valve assembly. There is a steel dike around the tank battery. The equipment on the pad consists of the following: 2 - Storage tanks 400 bbl 1 - Gas processing unit (GPU) 1 - Sand separator 1 - Thermal electric generator 1 - Producing well Site fenced and man doors locked

1371582966 2012-09-24 Plug / Plug Back No Violations I went to the site to witness the plug back operation. Following completion of the pilot hole and subsequent testing, O-Tex Pumping, LLC was on site to plug back the well, and set a kick off plug so that the horizontal section could be drilled. Two plugs were set. Details of the plug back operation can be found in the Casing Ticket, and the Plugging Report.
1380557411 2013-09-26 Preliminary Restoration No Violations I reviewed the site to assess the completion of preliminary restoration. There is a sign board at the access road entry featuring the well name, permit number and emergency contact information. The access road has a padlocked gate a short distance from Beeson Mill Road. The access road is in good repair. Drainage and erosion controls were in place and appear to be functioning. Ground cover was well established along the access road. I found the drilling/production pad to be enclosed entirely with a chain link fence with barbed wire at the top, and with a padlocked gate. The pad has a crushed limestone surface, and is in good repair. The pad does have some ponded water in the southwest corner. There is no pad drainage system in place. The fence is in good repair. Outside the fence, there is an earthen berm. I walked the exterior perimeter and noted that the berm is generally in good repair and ground cover is generally well established. There are some areas of the berm that do not have much ground cover, but there are no issues with erosion or sedimentation. Most of the area of disturbance has good ground cover. The soil stockpile is well stabilized with vegetation. A closed-loop, above-ground drilling pit system was used, so there are no earthen pits requiring closure. The well has been hydraulically fractured, and has a Christmas tree valve assembly. There are bull gates and concrete barriers surrounding the wellhead and cellar to prevent vehicle impacts. There are grates over the cellar to prevent falls. There is no production equipment at the site. The cellar is full of water to the top. Preliminary restoration approval will not be granted pending installation of production equipment and re-inspection.

1390576625 2012-08-09 Drill / Deepen / Reopen No Violations I was at the site to check the progress on the conductor drilling operation. Express Drilling was on location. The rig had temporarily stopped drilling due to caving issues under the tinhorn used to construct the cellar. They were in progress excavating the area around the tinhorn, pouring concrete, and re-setting the tinhorn. Once the concrete cures, they will resume drilling the conductor hole.
1406571162 2014-05-20 Production Wells No Violations I reviewed the site to assess the completion of preliminary restoration. There is a sign board at the access road entry featuring the well name, permit number and emergency contact information. The access road is in good repair. Drainage and erosion controls were in place and appear to be functioning. Ground cover was well established along the access road. I found the drilling/production pad to be enclosed entirely with a chain link fence with barbed wire at the top, and with a padlocked gate. The pad has a crushed limestone surface, and is in good repair. There is some standing water along some of the pad edges. I walked the exterior perimeter and noted that the berm is in good repair and ground cover is well established. The area of disturbance around the pad has good ground cover. Crops are growing well outside the area of disturbance. The soil stockpile is well stabilized with vegetation. A closed-loop, above-ground drilling pit system was used, so there are no earthen pits requiring closure. The well has been hydraulically fractured, and has a Christmas tree valve assembly. The well is not connected to the GPU unit at this time. The tank battery consist of two 400 barrel tanks. There are bull gates and concrete barriers surrounding the wellhead and cellar to prevent vehicle impacts. There are grates over the cellar to prevent falls. There is no ID tag on the well, but it is the only one on the site. The cellar is full of water to the top. The mouse hole has not been plugged, but has a steel plate welded on top. Preliminary restoration approval will not be granted pending installation of pipeline connecting the well to the GPU units.
