Inspections Performed

Inspection ID Inspection Category Inspection Date Inspection Type Inspection Result Inspection Comments
2218187 Primary Facility 2013-10-28 Drilling/Alteration Pending Ziengenfuss, Tony Tripp, Comp Man gone, talked to Armando
2220183 Primary Facility 2013-10-28 Routine/Complete Inspection No Violations Noted
2224744 Primary Facility 2013-11-20 Drilling/Alteration No Violations Noted In addition to the use of the Brandt centrifuges to separate solid and liquid material in the drill cuttings, chemicals used for coagulation and flocculation are injected into a pump prior to the centrifuge process. Calcium nitrate and a polymer are placed into a mix tank housed in a dewatering trailer to go through a slurry feed process. A request for an approval of alternative waste management practice (OG-71) needs to be submitted to the Department in relation to the drill cuttings processing and drilling mud dewatering at this location. The request for an OG-71 approval encompasses both the use of centrifuges for separation of solid and liquid material in the drill cuttings during water based and oil based mud drilling and the injection of the chemicals mentioned above used for coagulation and flocculation during water based mud drilling.

2273143 Primary Facility 2014-05-20 Routine/Complete Inspection Pending Arrived 15:00. Workers painting well head. Groups of yellow baker tanks were stationed on the S and W sides of the pad and in the NE corner. Small pieces of foam berm material were scattered around the pad and there were small pieces of felt in many locations. On the south side there was a large pile of frac sand. Most of the puddles on location gave field conductivity readings > 3 mS/cm. A 15' x 6' puddle in front of the sand pile gave field conductivity readings > 8mS/cm (sample 2371 381). Small, (~2' diameter) fuel stains were also found on E &W sides. The result of this inspection for the 3H well (015-22732) is pending the sample results.
2372693 Primary Facility 2015-05-20 Routine/Complete Inspection No Violations Noted Arrived @ 13:40. Sunny, cold, cloudy. There were three wells, all in production, on the pad. There was some pressure on the 3H 9-5/8” x 5-1/2” annulus. This blew down in a few seconds.
2387382 Primary Facility 2015-07-09 Routine/Complete Inspection No Violations Noted Arrived @ 15:00 with Compliance Specialist Tony Liguori. Weather: breezy, sunny. There were three wells on this pad and all three were in production. There was some pressure on the 3H 9-5/8” x 5-1/2” annulus. This did not significantly inflate a glove after 10 minutes. Annular vents were plumbed into poly tanks.
2404570 Primary Facility 2015-08-04 Follow-up Inspection Violation(s) Noted 13-3/8" x 9-5/8": 18% gas detected, not reported by operator. 9-5/8" x 5-1/2": 33% methane.
2467772 Primary Facility 2016-03-24 Routine/Complete Inspection No Violations Noted The well pad has been partially restored. The surface has been de-compacted and revegetated. No re-grading was evident.

Overall vegetation on site is approximately 70%, though some bare and rocky areas are present. No evidence of accelerated erosion or sedimentation was observed.

No violations were cited during this inspection.

2519144 Primary Facility 2016-09-15 Administrative/File Review No Violations Noted Administrative inspection conducted in repsonse to well site restoration reports (WSRR) filed by Chief on 09/09/2016. The notice of termination for this site was previously approved by the Department on 07/22/2016 (Inspection No. 2506949).

Interim restoration has been implemented on the well pad. A significant portion of the pad surface has been decompacted and vegetated. A total of 5,160 tons of drill cuttings, 711 barrels of drilling fluid, and 21,914 barrels fracing fluid are reported to have been disposed of at appropriate waste disposal facilities.

The well site restoration reports are acknowledged.

2592799 Primary Facility 2017-05-09 Routine/Complete Inspection No Violations Noted Three wells in production phase. Three separators within containment. One suction engine on site. Site stable. No violations noted.

2703863 Primary Facility 2018-03-06 Routine/Complete Inspection No Violations Noted Arrived at 11:49. Weather: sunny. There are three wells capable of production but temporarily shut-in on this location At the time of my inspection crew we're working on the on-site compressor and performing maintenance on the GPUs.
2814349 Primary Facility 2018-12-12 Routine/Complete Inspection No Violations Noted Arrived onsite for a routine inspection at 09:57; the weather was ~30°F and calm. There was a light dusting of snow on the pad and surrounding area.

There were 3 tagged Marcellus wells staged for production. The 3 well cellars were filled with gravel. The 2H well tag shows Stevens Twp., however, the permit sign near the mailbox shows Wilmot Twp. (Photos #2, 3).

There were 3 GPUs, 4 produced water tanks, and a compressor onsite and in secondary containment. There was also a freshwater injection tank plumbed to the wells.

The pad area was reduced and the site was greater than 70% vegetative cover. Both the cut and fill side of the pad had steeper sections that were stabilized with rock. The site appeared stable; no E&S issues were noted.

It is recommended that the tags for the 2H well be corrected as needed.

No violations were observed during the inspection.
