The weather conditions are sunny and breezy with temperatures near 40 degrees. Halliburton is the Repsol subcontractor on-site in the process of conducting hydraulic fracturing (stimulation) operations. Repsol submitted a stimulation notification to the Department on 11/20/17. The notice indicated the date and approximate time action to occur was on 11/24/17 at 6 AM. I met with Sheridan Anderson, site company man, completions consultant of Repsol and Ralph Babcock, site safety man of REM security. Mr. Anderson stated the following regard the spills and site activities. Zipper frac is in progress. We are on stage (5) on the 10H well. Frac is 24/7. We will frac 1H-10H wells. Spill #1 is a (10) gallon spill of friction reducer mixed with freshwater and production fluid that occurred on 11/26/17 at 3:30 AM. I reported the spill to DEP NCRO at 8 AM on the 26th.

| 2675798 | Primary Facility | 2017-12-20 | Routine/Complete Inspection | No Violations Noted | On December 20, 2017, the Department conducted an incident response inspection at the Repsol Oil and Gas USA Inc., Hemlock Valley Well Pad in Pike Township, Bradford County. Andrew Hobbins, Water Quality Specialist, represented the Department. Sheridan Anderson, Company Man, was on site for Repsol. The Department was notified of two separate spills onto secondary containment by Sheridan Anderson.
The Department was given a tour of the site. The two spill areas were observed. The first spill involved production fluids that leaked onto secondary containment due to a faulty gasket on a boost pump. Approximately 8 gallons of production fluid was released. Repsol had a vac truck immediately remove the fluid from containment. The second spill involved oil leaking from a series of oil filters due to hoses rubbing and vibrating against the filters. The oil was removed from containment, however some residual oil remained. The Department recommends cleaning up the remaining oil on containment. The Depa |
| 2679489 | Primary Facility | 2017-12-28 | Incident- Response to Accident or Event | No Violations Noted | I arrived at the site at 10:53 in response to a reported spill of (100) gallons of hydraulic fracturing fluid to secondary containment. The weather conditions were partly cloudy skies, windy and frigid with temperatures 5-10 degrees Fahrenheit and wind chill values below zero. I met with Sheridan Anderson, site company man, completions consultant of Repsol in the company man trailer. Halliburton is the Repsol subcontractor in the process of conducting hydraulic fracturing (stimulation) operations. Mr. Anderson informed me of the following information in reference to the spill and site activities. "Zipper frac is in progress now, on stage 22 of 43 for the 2H well. We are rigged up to the 2H, 4H and 6H wells. The 5, 8 and 10 wells are completed. The 1, 3, 5 and 7 are not. It is a (24) hour frac. The spill happened at 6:15 AM today.

Mr. Gunn and Mr. Babcock informed me of the following information pertaining to site activities and the spills. "Frac is in progress. Halliburton is on stage 36 of 38 on the 2H well. The first spill was (5) gallons of biocide. It occurred on 1/6/18 at 11 AM. The biocide spilled onto containment out of a chemical trailer. A hose popped out of a port in the trailer. Maybe the cam lock fitting was loose. A vac truck sucked up the fluid immediately and put it back into the trailer. Around 5AM on 1/7/18 water in the Freshwater DYNA tank froze at a certain depth level. Ice built up inside the tank. Ice in the bot |
| 2689164 | Primary Facility | 2018-01-19 | Incident- Response to Accident or Event | No Violations Noted | On January 19, 2018, the Department conducted an incident response inspection at the Repsol Oil and Gas USA Inc., Hemlock Valley Well Pad in Pike Township, Bradford County. Andrew Hobbins, Water Quality Specialist, and Jonathan Sassi, Environmental Protection Specialist, represented the Department. Sheridan Anderson, Company Man, was on site for Repsol. The Department was notified of a spill onto secondary containment by Repsol.
The Department was given a tour of the site and the spill location was observed. The spill occurred because the blender shut off, causing the tub to overflow 42 gallons of frac fluid. The fluid was captured by secondary containment and was immediately removed from containment and returned to the work stream. The area could not be inspected more closely due to pressure testing that restricted access to the spill area. The Department observed the containment liners to be in good condition. No holes were observed in the liner. Daily containment inspections are conducted in |
| 2690802 | Primary Facility | 2018-01-31 | Incident- Response to Accident or Event | No Violations Noted | I arrived at the site at 11:47 in response to (3) separate spill incidents, a spill of (10) gallons of antifreeze, (2) barrels of flowback fluid, both of these spills to secondary containment, and (2) quarts of power steering fluid to the pad surface. The weather conditions were partly cloudy skies, breezy and quite cold with temperatures around 20 degrees Fahrenheit. I initially met with Dave Coxhead, site safety man of REM security as I arrived. Mr. Coxhead and I then proceeded into the company man trailer to discuss the spill incidents with Sheridan Anderson, site company man/completions consultant of Repsol. Mr. Anderson provided the following information pertaining to the spill incidents and site activities. "Frac is still in progress, but will conclude shortly. We are on stage 19 on the 3H well. There are (3) more stages to frac on wells 1 and 3. We may start drilling out hydraulic fracturing plugs this Monday. The main containment which is the New Pig liner, will stay in place. The (10) gallon antifr |
| 2703801 | Primary Facility | 2018-02-21 | Routine/Complete Inspection | No Violations Noted | I arrived at the site at 12:00. I was accompanied by Andrew Hobbins, DEP O&G WQS out of the Northcentral Regional Office in Williamsport, PA. The weather conditions were mostly cloudy skies, breezy and very mild with temperatures in the 60's. A service (work-over) rig was at the site in the process of drilling out hydraulic fracturing (stimulation) plugs. We met with Rich Cashen, site company man, completions consultant of Repsol. Mr. Cashen informed the Department the following regarding site activities. "We started drilling out frac plugs about (3) weeks ago just after the frac job finished. Basic Energy Services Rig #1562 is currently drilling out frac plugs on the 5H well. The plugs have been drilled out on the 7H-10H wells. There are (32) plugs to be drilled out on the 5H well. Flowback fluid from the drill outs is transferred into frac tanks, not the DYNA tank. The fluid in the frac tanks is taken to a pad where the frac will take place. Gel is used to drill out the plugs. The gel helps to lift the plu |

| 2748076 | Primary Facility | 2018-06-19 | Routine/Complete Inspection | No Violations Noted | I arrived at the site at 12:35 PM. The weather conditions are partly cloudy skies and breezy with temperatures in the mid 70's. The Hemlock Valley 1H-10H wells are in production. The secondary containment used for completions operations has been removed from the site. This includes the containment for the DYNA tanks. I met with Jeff Blanton, well tender of Repsol, a short time after speaking with the truck driver. Mr. Blanton informed me that (1,200) barrels of fluid per day flowed from the wells into the production fluid tanks and frac tank when the wells were initially placed into production status, which was about (2) weeks ago. The current rate is about (700) barrels per day he further stated.
The main intent of the inspection was to evaluate the condition of the pad surface where the secondary containment liners were set in place during completions operations. Hydraulic fracturing (stimulation) of the (10) permitted wells on the pad commenced on 11/24/17 according to the stimulation notice sub |
| 2768508 | Primary Facility | 2018-08-24 | Site Restoration | No Violations Noted | The DEP conducted a RESTORATION inspection on the Repsol Hemlock Valley (05-265) well pad in Pike township, Bradford County on 8/24/2018 at 1400 hours. The weather was partly cloudy, sunny, and 78 degrees.
The site appeared very well vegetated and stabilized. All post construction best management practices have been properly installed. A well site restoration report has been received and accepted by the DEP The Notice of Termination for this site is recommended for approval. |
