Inspections Performed

Inspection ID Inspection Category Inspection Date Inspection Type Inspection Result Inspection Comments
2526880 Primary Facility 2016-10-11 Preoperation Inspection No Violations Noted
2549410 Primary Facility 2017-01-05 Routine/Complete Inspection No Violations Noted The rig is drilling the 2H well at this time. The 1H will be drilled once the 2H is complete. No violations noted.
2565807 Primary Facility 2017-02-27 Routine/Complete Inspection No Violations Noted The 1H and 2H wells have been drilled. No drilling equipment on location. A coil tubing rig and associated fracking equipment arrived on location during the DEP inspection. No violations noted. Site stable.
2619371 Primary Facility 2017-07-26 Routine/Complete Inspection No Violations Noted The 1H well is on the 9th stage of the frack. Secondary and primary containment sufficient and staged correctly. No leaks from baker tanks or hoses. Universal is conducting operations. Two production tanks within containment.

Site Forman: Brent Fowelr.

2623446 Primary Facility 2017-08-08 Routine/Complete Inspection No Violations Noted I met Floyd Roberts and Eric McClure of Chief when I arrived. A coil tubing rig was on site drilling out plugs on the 2H well. Puddles were widespread on the site. Small puddles of 6.1 and 8.3 mS/cm were present on containment near the Baker tank battery; puddles on the pad nearby showed low conductance (.45-.76 mS/cm). On the far side of the pad from the entrance, I found 3 small volume puddles (all less than 5 gallons) near the edge of the liner that showed conductance of 2.2-2.4 mS/cm; other puddles nearby showed low conductance (.48-.87 mS/cm). I informed Eric and Floyd, who had been joined by Gib Blevins of Chief; Gib immediately got a vac truck that was on location to vac these areas.
2655238 Primary Facility 2017-11-01 Routine/Complete Inspection No Violations Noted Arrived at 12:00. Weather: cold rain. 2 producing wells on site. Annuli for both wells are plumbed into one 550-gallon poly tank. There is a small amount of oil-base and water in the tank. Monitoring with an Altair 5X gas meter (calibrated on 11/1/17) gives 10 % methane/ volume at the tank opening. NO combustible gas was detected at the 13-3/8" x 9-5/8" annuli of either well. No violations were noted during this inspection.
2710518 Primary Facility 2018-03-26 Incident- Response to Accident or Event Viol(s) Noted & Immediately Corrected I arrived onsite to follow up on a reported incident. DEP was notified by PEMA at 07:00 hrs. on 3/25 that one of the GPUs on the site caught fire, damaging both GPUs. When I arrived, Cuthbertson Construction Inc. was on the site; the damaged GPUs had both been removed and replaced, and Cuthbertson was hooking up the new units. I met Darren Mundrick of Chief; as he is with Chief's construction group, he was not privy to all of the details of the incident. At that time, Rebecca Renner, OGI for the DEP Oil & Gas program arrived. In order to get us details regarding the incident, Darren called Peg Farrell, and Becky and I both spoke to her and Tyler Berkey about the incident. Ray Miller of Chief arrived while Becky was speaking to Peg; he informed me that the fire and explosion had been reported to 911 at 06:00 hrs. on Sunday morning, and he arrived at 06:30 and secured the site. I then spoke to Peg and Tyler. They told me that once the fire was out and the equipment cooled off, the glycol was vacced out
2710596 Primary Facility 2018-03-26 Follow-up Inspection No Violations Noted Arrived at 11:00. Weather: sunny. The purpose of this inspection was to follow-up on a GPU fire which occurred on 3/25. Crew and staff were onsite. Among the personnel present at the time of my inspection were: Sean Van Fleet (DEP), Ray Miller (Chief-Safety), and Greg Roher (Chief-Completions). Peg Farrell (Chief) was also in phone contact during the inspection. There were 2 gas wells capable of production on location. These were shut-in at the time of my inspection. Two new GPU¿s (Energy Weldfab) were being set up on new containment when I arrived. The large shut-off valve at the front of the 2H GPU washed out (see photos), providing the gas source for the fire. The 2H well did not automatically shut-in. Pressure in the above ground pipe behind the GPU ruptured the pipe. The fire destroyed the communications cables so that it was not possible to shut-in the 2H from Chief¿s control center. The 1H well apparently did shut-in automatically. Ray Miller arrived on site approximately 30 minutes after the problem
2791414 Primary Facility 2018-10-18 Administrative/File Review Violation(s) Noted Administrative Inspection created to cite a violation against a well in which Chief entered the wellbore less than eight hours after cementing the casing. This inspection/violation is part of a CACP found under Enforcement Record ID #368514.
2845007 Primary Facility 2019-02-21 Routine/Complete Inspection No Violations Noted On February 21, 2019, Department representative Brad Kline conducted a routine site inspection at Chief Oil & Gas LLC. Jacobson Pad. Weekly inspection log was onsite for review. No E&S issues were observed during the time of inspection. The site is stable and well vegetated meeting the 70% uniform, perennial, vegetative cover.

There are a total of 2 producing wells located on this well pad. All wells are tagged with API/well permit numbers. Cellars are filled in with gravel. There are 2 GPU’s and 2 steel vertical production fluids tanks onsite. Both GPUs and production fluid tanks were stationed in secondary containment.

No violations noted.
