1434728462 2015-06-19 Production Wells No Violations Compliance Notice # 1428512346 follow up inspection, on this day I visited the Gatherco meter station the said well sells into and observed the Roots #8 -C rotary style meter with an rotary index reading of 0549 of gas sales being observed. Also noted that there is no individual gas sales meter or meters present for any of the producing wells selling into the Gatherco Gas sales system meter point. With the contract pumper Troy Harmon reporting multiple lease do feed into the sales meter. Addressing the 100 barrel production tank set near the existing well 3411163157-000- and nearby waterway found the tank has been set back to meet the minimum requirement of 50 from both mention items. Inspection of the well head found the following equipment present- 7 surface casing with a pressure valve in plane sight showing 90 psi. 2.875 tubing and 1.5 tubing and pumping rods with the production valves in the open position. Also noted and photographed the check valve has been removed from the 2.875 casing that could allow the gas to back feed into the well bore and contribute to the high surface casing pressure. No well identification has yet to be posted at the tank battery or well head. All documentation has been prepared and forwarded over to the Divisions Legal staff for the drafting of a Chiefs order.
1437403290 2015-07-20 Production Wells No Violations Status check inspection follow up to Order # 2015-344. Upon inspection of the well head the following equipment was found; A 7 surface casing string along with a 2.875 tubing string set on a packer with a 1.5 production tubing string with production flowlines hooked to the 1.5 and 2.875 and the production valves found in the open position with no check valves in place to avoid gas from back flowing into the well bore. Gas pressure is present on the 7 surface casing at the well head. Not visible at surface but present is the un cemented 5 string set in the well bore that was not on the drilling permit and has not been addressed. No sub gas meter reflecting the production output of the said well is present at the well or in the area. There is however a Roots 8-C meter present at the commercial purchase point for Gatherco reflecting the total gas sold into the system for all the combined wells owned by the producer in the area, the meter currently reads 544 on the rotary index meter. Addressing the 100 barrel production tank noted in the previous violation, It was observed that the producer has met the set back requirements for the existing well 34111263157-000 and the existing stream by relocating the said tank, but has yet to place proper well identification on the well or the tank, also noted the tank is located on an adjoining lease. Also noted I have not received any contact from the producer in regards to the violation noted as violation # 1428512346 issued on 04/08/2015. The producer also noted as part of his submitted restoration plan all vegetation was to be removed off site and to this day the trees and debris remain present and the landowner has requested the material be removed.
1438887927 2015-08-06 Production Wells No Violations Status check follow up to Order # 2015-344. Upon inspection of the well it was observed that the 5 un cemented casing string has not been addressed. At last record annular pressure was present at surface on the 5 casing string. The 5 string was set to stabilize the well bore due to the hole collapsing, with the ultimate outcome of not having the proper annular clearance as listed under 1501:9-1-08 well construction (H) Wellbore diameters (1) The diameter of each section of the wellbore in which casing will be cemented shall be at least one inch greater than the outside diameter of casing collar to be installed. Unless otherwise approved by the Chief. Also noted at the well head was the absence of a check valve on the 2.875 tubing set as the production string, the producer does have on the gas sales outlet a spring type orifice 046 field regulator with a 08 to 20 psi rated working discharge pressure. With no sub meter found present to document the well production, there is a Roots 8-C rotary type meter present at the Gatherco commercial purchase point for all the wells present in the area owned by the producer with a rotary index reading of 0558 present in plain sight. Addressing the tank battery- A single 100 barrel production tank is present located in an established dike area, the tank was repositioned on the property and in doing so was relocated within 96 feet of an existing dwelling. Under 1501:9-9-05 Production Operations. (2) Oil production tanks shall be set a minimum of (50) feet from the traveled portion of a public roadway and a minimum of one hundred (100) feet from an existing dwelling. Addressing the overdue Preliminary Restoration- The owner noted in his permit application well restoration section that any vegetation would be cut into firewood, to this day the trees created are piled on site and the landowner has requested the debris removed off the property.
