0605717348 2017-09-18 Final Restoration No Violations I received a signed landowner waiver (form 5) from Rick Wray for the final restoration on this well site. On the day of my inspection I found that the production equipment had been removed. The access road is still in use for agricultural purposes. The well site had been cleared of all oilfield related materials and debris, except the well casing, which was stacked on wood sills on the ground, and the electric pole. The well site and production equipment site were both rough graded and starting to grow with weeds and grasses. There were no erosion issues or wash outs. The landowner waiver stipulates that the landowner wants to keep the materials that were left behind. Rick Wray said that the landowner Kevin Miller paid him for the casing. This site passes final restoration with a waiver.
0727144552 2016-12-28 Production Wells Violations Noted On the day of my inspection I met the landowner Kevin Miller to conduct an exempt domestic pre-transfer inspection. There was no existing access route to the well. There were no vehicle or foot tracks back to the well. Mr. Miller took me back in a UTV. He claimed that he has lived there for nine years and he has never seen anyone go back to the well. I found that the well was equipped with a 5 inch wellhead. There was approximately 2 feet of 2 inch tubing coming out of the top of the wellhead. The tubing was shut in with a valve. The steel flow line to the tank battery was connected. There was a standing electric pole near the wellhead, indicating that the well was equipped with a pumping unit at one time. The casing valve was closed and led to a 1 inch yellow plastic line that ran to a horizontal cylindrical tank of unknown volume. The tank was larger than a typical 200 gallon liquid propane tank. Mr. Miller claimed that both of the Walters wells and the Blackburn well from the neighboring property supplied gas to the tank, which supplied the domestic gas to the home. There have been zero mcf gas and zero barrels of oil reported for this well since 2011, and no production reports have been filed for 2015. The well is idle and it is shut off from the domestic gas supply. I also inspected the other Walters well the same day and found it to be shut in as well. The domestic gas is being supplied by the Blackburn Unit 1, permit 0287. The tank battery consisted of one 100 barrel steel tank, one 30 barrel plastic tank and one vertical separator. The equipment was rusted and in a general state of neglect. Both tanks appeared to be empty. The identification sign was blank and there was no identification at the wellhead. The well owner/operator shall submit a written plugging schedule to Chris Grimm at 5880 Memory Rd, Zanesville, OH 43701 within 30 days, per OAC 1501:9-11-05(B), and plug the well within 180 days. The well owner/operator will be notified if the plugging sched
0872294506 2017-07-26 Plug / Plug Back No Violations I met DOGRM surveyor Tom Smith at the plugged well site to obtain location coordinates. I used my handheld GPS and my memory of the site layout to direct Tom where to search with the metal detector. Tom found a strong signal very close to where I remembered the well being located. He then recorded the position. The site had been graded out, but it had not been seeded yet. The well casing was still stacked on the ground. There were no signs that the plugged well was leaking.
1315441200 2017-06-22 Plug / Plug Back No Violations On the day of my inspection I found that Gene Matheny had the 7 inch diameter casing started out of the hole. I asked him where he got it ripped off at and he said that he thought he had the whole string of 1016 feet coming out. He speculated that the casing was freed from the seat during the time he was attempting to part it with the ripping tools. We tallied the casing once it was pulled and found that he did part it at a depth of 806 feet. They had an 11 ton load of clay delivered and washed more than half the load down the well. The well bore filled to surface and it was left to settle while Gene rigged down and moved his equipment off site. They filled the well two more times throughout the day with an estimated total volume of 9 tons. They shut down for the day to let the clay settle overnight.
1497015973 2017-06-09 Plug / Plug Back No Violations On the day of my inspection I found that Gene Matheny was rigged up to start plugging the well, but no one was at the site. I called Gene and he said that they could not get a clay delivery until Monday.
1497889712 2017-06-19 Plug / Plug Back No Violations On the day of my inspection I found that Gene Matheny had the 5.5 inch casing pulled. He showed me a copy of the invoice from Timco stating that the casing was shot at a depth of 2640 feet. Gene claimed that he had the bottom plug in. I did observe the remnants of a clay pile on the ground next to the well. He said that they had 11 tons delivered. I estimated that there was 1 to 1.5 tons left on the ground. Gene set a brush and stone bridge below the 7 inch casing at a depth of 1050 feet. We noticed oil on his tools when he was tagging the bridge, so he got a 7 inch bailer and dug a pit to bail the oil out of the well before attempting to pull the 7 inch casing. They bailed approximately 5 barrels of oil out but the bailer was making a mess, so they washed a half ton of clay down to seal off the bridge and started to load the casing with water in hopes of floating the oil out of the hole. They ran out of water and could not get a delivery until the next morning.
1497969067 2017-06-20 Plug / Plug Back No Violations On the day of my inspection Matheny had 80 barrels of fresh water delivered and they loaded the casing. They let it set for 1.5 hours while they finished capping the other well on the lease. We came back started pumping water to circulate the oil out of the hole, but the oil had not fully risen to the top of the casing yet. Gene decided to let it set overnight and try again in the morning.
1498050465 2017-06-21 Plug / Plug Back No Violations On the day of my inspection Gene Matheny ran 50 feet of plastic line down the well and pumped until we did not see any more oil coming out of the well. He tried to pull the 7 inch casing and it would not budge at 80,000 pounds of pull. Gene then went in with his ripping tools to part the casing, but the tools got hung and the line snapped. The tools did not drop down hole however, as they were hung in the top joint. Matheny worked for most of the afternoon to re-establish positive control of the tools and remove them from the well. He eventually got back in and started ripping at his first telegraph, at a depth of 806 feet. He said that he would try to part the casing there and he would be out first thing in the morning to pull it.
1498225259 2017-06-23 Plug / Plug Back No Violations On the day of my inspection I found that the clay had settled approximately 30 feet down hole. Gene Matheny filled it to surface again and we watched it for an hour. The clay was staying at the surface, so Gene said he would leave it open over the weekend and come back out on Monday morning to either top it off, or cut and cap the casing.
1498492887 2017-06-26 Plug / Plug Back No Violations On the day of my inspection I found that the well was still filled to the surface with clay. I met with Gene Matheny who said he would be out later today or tomorrow to cut the casing off and cap the well with a steel plate. Gene gave me two clay tickets from Logan Clay. I saw the prepared steel plate inscribed with the permit number. This well has been plugged to surface and the violation for being an idle well is resolved.
