0262503702 2016-11-23 Production Wells No Violations Today I am onsite to follow up on my inspection on 9/20/16 regarding no identification of any kind related to this permit number. No identification has been placed at this location and both wells on the pad are in the same state as during my last inspection. I called the Cambridge Ohio office for Ascent Resources and was contacted by the production superintendent Adam Pence. I explained that proper identification needed to be placed at the wellheads. I also mentioned that the future of these wells needed to be discussed since 34-081-2-0490 has not produced since 2010 and 34-081-2-0501 has never produced. Adam indicated that he would have identification placed at the wellhead as soon as possible and that he would contact the Ascent corporate office in Oklahoma about the future of the wells. He mentioned that they would most likely be plugging and abandoning them.

1547566151 2019-01-15 Plug / Plug Back No Violations On the day of my inspection Nicks Well Plugging is onsite. 4.5 inch diameter casing was cut at 4332 on 1/10/19. They have not pulled the 4.5 inch diameter casing yet as the 8.625 inch casing has 1100 psi on it every morning. Today they are pumping 13 ppg water based mud to try and kill the well so they can break wellhead down and pull 4.5 inch diameter casing. They are removing the wellbore fluid that is displaced by the 310 barrel of drilling fluid and putting it in a separate tank. When they began receiving mud they stopped removing fluid from the return tank. They are circulating the 310 barrels of mud and it is down to about 11 ppg. Weatherford consultant Cory is plannig on bringing the weight of the mud back up tomorrow morning.
