0018217889 2009-09-09 Administrative Inspection No Violations Received a call from Ed Kohler (Continental). Ed wanted to know why MRM changed his plug plan. I explained that we had a meeting with myself, Robert Stonerock, Tom Tomastik, and Steve Opritza. To review the plug plan submitted by Continental. I reviewed the Divisions Concerns about the perf and squeeze. I also explained our request for a segmented bond log. Ed was not satisfied with our discussion. I suggested that he talk to someone else from the meeting. I referred him to Tom Tomastik and Steve Opritza. Ed has requested specifications on the vault and vent system.

After logging it was determined that a possible fault was located between 1600 and 1500. 130 sacs of class A cement were used. The cement did not set up and is causing problems with the drilling of the horizontal curve.

1913585495 2008-12-19 Completion Testing No Violations A pool of fluid is surrounding the wellhead approx 6 feet in diameter. There is a constant bubbling like a rolling boil that is coming up beside the casing. I was able to extend a small bucket and capture some of the fluid bubbling at the casing. An high range Quantab was used. It measured 8 on the strip that is 5408 ppm Cl. I took a video of the leak. The drill pit has been filled in. I used my gas detector and could not detect any explosive levels near the well. The wind was blowing and could have dispersed the gas. I have informed Merl Richards of this problem and he is working on getting the records to me so that we can determine what is causing the leak.
1955412475 2009-05-13 Production Wells No Violations No identification. Well has gas bubbling around the backside of the 7 casing.
