2073045 Primary Facility 2012-05-30 Drilling/Alteration No Violations Noted cementing 13 3/8" casing pipe 615'
2073777 Primary Facility 2012-06-05 Routine/Complete Inspection Violation(s) Noted

2187232 Primary Facility 2013-07-29 Routine/Complete Inspection No Violations Noted
2436225 Primary Facility 2015-12-28 Routine/Complete Inspection No Violations Noted Arrived at 12:20, weather cold and grey. There was one producing well ringed by concrete barriers. Three feet below the lip, the cellar was filled with gravel. Annular vents were plumbed into a 550-gallon poly tank which was ¿ half full with mud and other fluid. An Altair 5X gas meter (calibrated 12/28/15) detected 5% methane at the poly tank vent.
2438410 Primary Facility 2016-01-06 Follow-up Inspection No Violations Noted Arrived at 10:30, weather sunny and cold. There was one producing well ringed by concrete barriers. This was a follow-up to an inspection conducted on 12/28/15 (IR# 2436225). At that time methane was detected on the 13-3/8” x 9-5/8 annulus. But this gas could have resulted from comingling with gas from the 9-5/8” x 5-1/2” annulus. To follow up and clarify the situation I contacted Jon Hafer (Chief) who isolated the vents prior to this inspection. At the time of my inspection the annuli were isolated from each other and venting out the 2” pipe. No gas was detected at the 13-3/8” x 9-5/8” vent. The methane concentration by volume at the 9-5/8” x 5-1/2” vent was 100%. The vents were monitored with an Altair 5X gas meter calibrated on 1/4/2016. Minor salt-staining on the well head was traced back to a leak at the flow arm valve, which will be promptly addressed according to Hafer. Left location @ 11:40.
2529607 Primary Facility 2016-10-17 Drilling/Alteration No Violations Noted
2566258 Primary Facility 2017-03-01 Incident- Response to Accident or Event No Violations Noted Spill response by the DEP. Chief Company Man: Gilbert Blevins

The 3H well is being fracked at this time. Only three stages remain for the 3H. The entire frack should be completed by today (3/1/2017).

WHEN: 2/28/2017 16:30 WHAT HAPPENED: "Farrell is reporting a small wet area (1.5 x1’) at the edge of the wellpad, within the LOD where gravel ends. Wet area was noted during routine inspection. Handheld meter indicates 10,000 ppm TDS. The well is currently being fracked. There is no flow from the wet area."

RESPONSE IN PROGRESS/WHEN/WHO: "Chief has mobilized a vac truck and is on standby to remove any free liquid. MR Dirt is also on scene to dig a small trench to help determine the source of the liquid and provide a sump for removal."

The DEP arrived on location and met with a Chief employee to have him show the location of highly conductive water. The conductive water is located on western side of the pad surface and off the pad surface ~5 feet into the grass. An interception trench (see photo 2 an

2568887 Primary Facility 2017-03-06 Follow-up Inspection No Violations Noted Two representatives from Chief Oil and Gas were on location during the DEP's inspection. Woodward and Curran (environmental consultant) is currently at the site doing a detailed site profile to determine the extent of the release. A low spot on the pad surface was found to have a conductivity of around 6.8 mili-Siemens/cm. This location is thought to be the location of the release (See photo 3 and 5). An interception trench (See photo 1)was installed below the pad surface in the area where the release is believed to have migrated. No water was observed in this trench. The production water containment and tank were being removed due to concerns of the release being under both. The amount of brine water released could not be determined at this time. The DEP will make a determination at a future time once the operator and consultant determine the extent of the released material. No samples collected at this time.
2599561 Primary Facility 2017-06-01 Routine/Complete Inspection No Violations Noted Three wells in production status. Three separators within containment. No leaks from production equipment. Site stable. No violations.
2643793 Primary Facility 2017-10-04 Routine/Complete Inspection No Violations Noted Three wells in production status. Three separators within containment. No leaks detected. Site stabile.
2653991 Primary Facility 2017-10-26 Routine/Complete Inspection No Violations Noted Arrived at 13:20. Weather: cloudy and cold. No personnel were onsite for this routine inspection. There were 3 producing wells. Where possible, annuli were monitored using an Altair 5X gas meter calibrated on October 25, 2017.

3H: top gauge: 1500 psi, (0-5000 psi, analog) 13 3/8 x 9 5/8: 0% combustible gas. 9 5/8 x 5 1/2: not accessible. Annuli for 3H & 2H wells were plumbed to a 500 gallon poly tank. 

2H: top gauge: 900 psi (0-5000 psi, analog)

13 3/8 x 9 5/8: not accessible. 9 5/8 x 5 1/2: 100% combustible gas. 1H: top gauge: 1200 psi [0 to 5000 psi, analog] 13 3/8 x 9 5/8: not accessible. 9 5/8 x 5 1/2: 20% combustible gas. No violations were observed at the time of this inspection.

2702013 Primary Facility 2018-03-06 Incident- Response to Accident or Event Viol(s) Noted & Immediately Corrected A Spill of 5 gallons of flowback made it to the pad surface on 3/2/2018. The release was reported to the DEP on the same day. Two brine storage baker tanks on location for clean-out maintenance on the wells. One already full baker tank was mistakingly being filled by a truck which resulted in the tank being overfilled. The overflow exited the tank and blew beyond the containment. All contaminates removed and placed on plastic liner. Material to be disposed of at landfill. No spilled material discovered during the DEP's inspection. All material appears to be cleaned up. No samples collected. Violations immediately corrected.
