Inspection Data

Inspections Performed

Inspection ID Inspection Category Inspection Date Inspection Type Inspection Result Inspection Comments
2428595 Primary Facility 2015-11-30 Drilling/Alteration No Violations Noted Arrived at 12:50, weather cold and cloudy with some sun. Well pad was newly constructed with two wells spudded. Met with company man Billy Swanson who was onsite to witness cementing of conductors. Other personnel onsite included staff from: Universal Well Services and Mr Dirt. A Soilmec SR-30 hydraulic rotating rig had been used to drill the cellars and conductors and was still on location. At the time of my inspection Universal Well Service was cementing in the conductors for the Hart N Unit 2H and Hart S Unit 1H. Left location @ 14:14.
2428934 Primary Facility 2015-12-01 Routine/Complete Inspection No Violations Noted Routine inspection conducted to review site conditions and E&S controls. Crews were on site completing installation of the conductor casing.
2431965 Primary Facility 2015-12-10 Routine/Complete Inspection No Violations Noted Routine inspection conducted to review site conditions during rig-up. The drilling rig is mostly assembled, and crews are continuing to set up appurtenant equipment. Fuel and chemicals on site are all within containment. Erosion and sediment controls are in place and in good repair. No evidence of accelerated erosion or sedimentation was observed.
2467921 Primary Facility 2016-03-24 Drilling/Alteration No Violations Noted Arrived @ 9:30, weather warm. This well was TD’ed at the end of 2015. Met with Jon Hafer (Chief) to determine whether methane detections on 13-3/8” x 9-5/8” casing annulus were from the casing annulus or due to cross-flow contamination for the 9-5/8” x 5-1/2” annulus. Prior to the field meeting Hafer had separated the annular vents. Monitoring was conducted with an Altair 5X gas meter calibrated on 3/24/16, and a MultiRae meter conducted on 03/24/16.

13-3/8” x 9-5/8”: CO and H2S were detected by both meters: 1472 ppm CO and 17 ppm H2S. Chief will collect a sample for gas compositional analysis. 9-5/8” x 5-1/2” 50 % methane. Since there is uncertainty about the composition of the gas on the 13-3/8” x 9-5/8” annulus and since the possible presence of gas was reported by the operator, there is no violation associated with this inspection. Left location @ 11:45

2499260 Primary Facility 2016-07-06 Routine/Complete Inspection No Violations Noted Routine inspection to assess overall site conditions and containment/materials storage for well completion operations.

Temporary erosion and sediment control BMPs are in place and in good condition. The site is well vegetated with a mix of annual and perennial plant species. No evidence of accelerated erosion or sedimentation was observed.

Well completion operations are underway. All pumps, trucks, tanks, totes and other equipment were observed to be located in or over containment. No areas of apparent spilled material were observed inside or outside of the containment. Several puddles on the well pad surface, outside of containment, were screened to estimate the conductivity of the fluid. None of the screened puddles had an electrical conductance above 675 uS/cm.

The containment around the tanks holding reuse water (flowback fluid/brine) was screened; the electrical conductivity of the fluid within the containment was screened at 7.9 mS/cm. The amount of fluid present in the containment was not signif

2503469 Primary Facility 2016-07-21 Routine/Complete Inspection No Violations Noted Routine inspection to assess site conditions after well completion operations.

Much of the pad containment liner remains in place. Several puddles on the containment were screened for electrical conductivity and ranged from 2.1 - 3.0 mS/cm. One of the puddles that exhibited elevated conductivity was adjacent to two tears in the containment. Prior to removing the containment, all fluids should be removed to minimize the risk of potential contamination to the pad surface materials and ground and surface waters. Further, due to the proximity of fluids with elevated conductivity to the tears observed in the liner, the pad material beneath the tear should be screened to ensure that fluids from the containment have not contaminated the pad surface material. The Department requests that the outcome of the screening be provided once complete.

Though containment is in place for the frac tank batteries on site, one frac tank was observed to be situated outside of containment. Though this tank was apparently empty

2566811 Primary Facility 2017-03-02 Routine/Complete Inspection No Violations Noted Chief should provide documentation that the damaged sock and ruts identified in this report have been repaired or addressed otherwise. No violations cited.
2635931 Primary Facility 2017-09-14 Drilling/Alteration No Violations Noted Work over rig on location. The 1H S and 2H N well were in production phase. No leaks from production equipment. No leaks detected on pad surface from standing water and ditches.
2647588 Primary Facility 2017-10-16 Drilling/Alteration No Violations Noted A coil tubbing rig is drilling out the plugs on the 1H well. No leaks detected within or outside containment. No violations noted.
2791579 Primary Facility 2018-10-18 Routine/Complete Inspection No Violations Noted Arrived onsite for a routine inspection at 13:09; weather was ~42 °F, sunny, breezy. The E&S permit for this site is still active and expires 9/29/2020. There were some shallow puddles on the pad.

There were 4 properly tagged Marcellus wells staged for production. Each well cellar contained water; no bubbling was observed. There were 4 GPUs and 4 produced water tanks onsite and in secondary containment. A row of temporary flowback tanks remained onsite and in secondary containment.

At the time of inspection all PCSM appeared to be installed and functioning as intended. The site was >70% vegetative cover and no E&S issues were observed. The gravel portion of the pad appeared to remain at its full size. Some compost filter sock remained onsite.

It is recommended that temporary E&S measures be removed once permanent stabilization has been achieved.

No violations noted.
