Inspections Performed

Inspection ID Inspection Category Inspection Date Inspection Type Inspection Result Inspection Comments
2668476 Primary Facility 2017-12-06 Routine/Complete Inspection No Violations Noted Arrived at 8:45. Weather: sunny, cold. CCI crew onsite changing out the flow arm on the Savage 1H. The 1H and South 1H, wells previously in production, were shut-in. The 4 new conductors are in place. Liner and mats are also in place. Left at 9:10. No violations were observed.
2682014 Primary Facility 2018-01-11 Drilling/Alteration No Violations Noted Arrived at 9:39. Precision 569 drilling the Savage South Unit 2H circulation prior to setting production casing at 14454'. This is the first of 4 new wells planned for this location. Already onsite are the Savage 1H and Savage South Unit 1H.

No violations were observed at the time of my inspection.

2686021 Primary Facility 2018-01-23 Routine/Complete Inspection No Violations Noted I met Ty Marine when I arrived on-site. Precision rig #569 on location, Savage South 3H well drilled to TD (13913') and rig is currently running casing in the hole. Steady rain was falling. Overall, containment was in good condition and functioning properly; however, on the east edge of the sitewide containment, I noted 3 locations where rainwater was overtopping the berm in a steady stream. Ty said he had just had a vac truck working in this area, and another was due shortly. I strongly recommended to Ty that he set up a trash pump or other full-time system to keep this area clear of rainwater. A trash pump was already nearby, and Ty had a tank in the vicinity as well to pump to. Ty was setting up the trash pump when I departed. Based on the concentration of water on the eastern side of the containment, it seems that the pad elevation tapers off in this area, creating a low spot with a high potential for a release; I strongly recommend that Chief either keep all of their primary containment above th
2695802 Primary Facility 2018-02-20 Routine/Complete Inspection No Violations Noted Arrived at 11:00. Weather: warm. Crew from Mr. dirt and Patrik's washing up rig mats at the time of my inspection. There are a total of six wells on this pad. There are two older wells are currently shut in and four new wells they have not been frac'ed yet. No violations were observed the time of inspection.
2709082 Primary Facility 2018-03-23 Drilling/Alteration No Violations Noted Stimulation activities being conducted at this time. No leaks noted during site walk around. Containment appears sound. No violations noted.
2723431 Primary Facility 2018-03-29 Drilling/Alteration Violation(s) Noted Arrived at 11:55 with Ulyana Trynovich (DEP OGI). Weather: overcast, foggy. There are a total of 6 wells on location: 2 older producing wells, and 4 new wells. This is one of the 4 newer wells. The new wells were being stimulated, but these operations were not active at the time of our inspection ¿ Stage 12 at the Savage South 3H was recently completed prior to our arrival. A reported flow-back spill had been inspected earlier in the day by the DEP WQS (Inspection Record #2711945) and was being addressed when we arrived. Met with Justin Myer (Company Man). Other personnel onsite were Gib Bevins and Kellyn Balum (Chief). From the onset of the inspection, the Chief representative made it difficult for DEP to obtain pertinent information related to the inspection. The explanation provided was that his instructions from Chief were that he could not give private information to the Department. A conference call conducted during the inspection with Peg Farrell (Chief Regulatory), Chris Roberts (Chief Stim
2799553 Primary Facility 2018-11-06 Routine/Complete Inspection No Violations Noted Chief Oil & Gas submitted a Well Site Restoration Report (WSRR) for the Savage pad. The WSRR was received by the Department on 10/23/18.

Arrive onsite at 12:40; weather was ~50°F, calm, light rain. Some puddles on the pad surface were screened for conductivity and all measurements were below 100 µS/cm.

There were 6 properly tagged Marcellus wells staged for production. All cellars were filled with water; no bubbling was observed. There were 6 GPUs and 6 produced water tanks onsite and in secondary containment. The water in secondary containment around the produced water tanks had a conductivity of 2.50 mS/cm. This water should be removed by vac truck and not be discharged to the ground or permitted to enter Waters of the Commonwealth.

There was a compressor on the pad and in secondary containment. This containment appeared sound but could possibly be better maintained around the edges and corners. There was also what appeared to be ventilation ductwork along the pad (Photo #2). Some sections of compost fi
