2561964 Primary Facility 2017-02-15 Preoperation Inspection No Violations Noted
2569348 Primary Facility 2017-03-02 Drilling/Alteration No Violations Noted At time of inspection, arrived on site at 10:20a.m. for a new spud inspection.

I met with company man Glenn Broussard. United Drilling was on site to drill and set the conductor pipe. There was one auger rig and two air rigs running. The auger rig finished running the 26" pipe to 37' on the 16H and moved over to the 14H and started drilling. One air rig was on the 9H at 30' and the other air rig TD at 94' on the 15H and was pulling drill pipe. The 8H, 12H, 17H, and 18H were completed with the conductor pipe ran and cemented at 94'. I took a walk around the location and there were no obvious concerns noticed. I left the site at 10:55a.m.

2610079 Primary Facility 2017-07-03 Drilling/Alteration No Violations Noted At time of inspection, arrived on site at 9:05a.m.

I met with company man Perk McDowell. Nabors X36 Rig was on site and running drill pipe in the hole to pressure test the intermediate casing and drill out the shoe. I took a walk around the location and check the cellars of the other wells on site, there was no bubbling noticed. I check the vent lines and plastic tanks, all the annuli for two wells are connected and going into one tank. There were no obvious concerns noticed. Depth at time of inspection was 2026'. Projected TD for the well is 20,200'. I left the site at 10:45a.m.

2623640 Primary Facility 2017-08-09 Routine/Complete Inspection No Violations Noted Today's inspection, 7/19/17 is being conducted as a routine inspection. No pictures were added to this inspect due to an electronic glitch. Drilling rig still on-site. Signage is up and displayed. Good vegetative growth occurring on all sections of the site. Vegetation a mixture of annuals and perennials with clovers being the most dominant perennial. No violations were observed during this inspection. Drilling set up looked very streamlined and organized.
2627588 Primary Facility 2017-07-17 Routine/Complete Inspection Violation(s) Noted At time of inspection, arrived on site at 11:00a.m. as part of a migration investigation, accompanied by DEP Geologist Andrea Mullen and WQS Gene Rickard.

We met with Steve Watson and Marshall McCarty of Cabot Oil and Gas and Prad Jadeja of Selman & Associates. Andrea used an Altair 5X gas meter calibrated on 8/16/17 and Prad used a Sensit HXG-3 gas meter to check for gas. We checked for gas at the vent lines at the edge of the pad, if gas was detected at the (13x9) annulus vent line, we went to the cellar so we could determine if the gas was coming from the (20x13) annulus or the (13x9) annulus. The 9H, 7H, 8H, 10H, 14H, and 12H wells were drilled to TD. The 11H, 15H, 13H, 17H, 16H, and 18H wells were partially drilled with the surface and intermediate casings cemented into place I left the site at 13:30p.m.

2639021 Primary Facility 2017-08-17 Complaint Inspection No Violations Noted Todays inspection, 8/17/17 was conducted as part of a Department investigation into a nearby water supply complaint. This inspection centered around investigating the annuli of the 12 wells recently drilled at this location. Present during this inspection were myself, Jon Sassi, Dept EPS, David Schoonover, Dept OGI, Steve Watson, Cabot EH&S Specialist, Marshall McCarty, Cabot Production Person and Prad Jadeja, Cabot consultant. As part of the effort in trying to identify if any of the wells are discharging gas from their respective annular vents, Cabot has developed a more sophisticated layout of the vent pipes which are clearly marked. No E&S violations were noted.
2661570 Primary Facility 2017-11-16 Administrative/File Review Violation(s) Noted Administrative Inspection created to enter an Enforcement Record for the November 16, 2017 Notice of Violation regarding presence of combustible gas in the annuli of the Jeffers Farms 7H, 8H, 9H, 10H, 11H, 12H and 14H gas wells; gas outside the surface casing on the Jeffers Farms 9H gas well; and a water supply complaint involving elevated methane concentration in a private water supply. The Department has determined that the water supply has been impacted by oil and gas activities.

All violations cited in this inspection are against the Jeffers Farms 9H gas well, which is the only well determined to have gas outside of the surface casing.

2664959 Primary Facility 2017-11-20 Routine/Complete Inspection No Violations Noted I arrived at the site at 12:24. The weather conditions are mostly cloudy skies, with a light breeze and occasional wind gusts, with temperatures in the mid to upper 30's. Nabors X 36 is the drilling rig on-site. Cabot submitted a Drilling resumption After Break of 30 days or more notification to the Department on 11/15/17 for the Jeffers Farms Pad 2 18H well. The notice indicates the date and time the action was to occur was on 11/16/17 at 6:00 AM. I met with Perk McDowell, site company man, consultant of Cabot. Mr. McDowell informed me of the following regarding site activities. "We are drilling the 18H well on diesel oil based mud at a depth of (6,954) feet. We are drilling below the kickoff point in the curve. Kickoff point (KOP) was at (4,843) feet. Curve will be landed at (8,575) feet. The well will be drilled to total depth (TD) at (18,979) feet. Drilling resumed here on 11/18/17. Surface and intermediate casings have been cemented. The well was drilled to KOP and then the rig left the pad. We resumed
2730522 Primary Facility 2018-05-15 Routine/Complete Inspection No Violations Noted I arrived on site at 1345 to perform a RTNC inspection of the Jeffers Farms P2 well pad. Present during the inspection were Casey Baldwin (WQS - DEP) and Ken Wilson (EHS Foreman - Cabot).

The entrance to the access road was well-marked by the appropriate signage. The access road was stable and solid with no apparent erosion or deterioration. The well's mailbox contained most of the required paperwork, however the site map outlining the BMPs associated with the ESCGP permit was absent. I used the site map with PCSM associated BMPs instead.

On the date of inspection, the wells on the pad were in between stages of hydraulic fracturing. Fracturing had been completed on the 8H, 10H, 12H, 14H, 16H, and 18H. Hydraulic fracturing had yet to be performed on the 7H, 9H, 11H, 13H, 15H, and 17H.

Several nearby water supply complaints have prompted Cabot to install a monitoring station on site to aid in early detection of any further issues that may arise.

The fill slope appeared to be well-vegetated and mostly stab

2740394 Primary Facility 2018-06-12 Routine/Complete Inspection Outstanding Violations - Viols Req'd At time of inspection.

Met with company man Andy Rodriguez. Keane was on site to frac the 12 wells on the location. The even number wells were completed first, for frac information see inspection conducted on 4/17/18. The frac was completed and Keane was rigging down there iron and moving off location when I arrived on location. There were 46 stages completed in the 7H. There were 66 stages completed in the 9H. There were 78 stages completed in the 11H. There were 58 stages completed in the 13H. There were 50 stages completed in the 15H. There were 46 stages completed in the 17H. I took a walk around the location and there were no obvious concerns noticed.

2762066 Primary Facility 2018-08-07 Follow-up Inspection Outstanding Violations - Viols Req'd At time of inspection.

The wells were recently completed and put in production. Cabot Oil & Gas contacted the Department to let them know they plan to evaluate and take isotopic samples from the annuli of the Jeffers Farms P2. The Department Eric Rooney (Geologist) and David Schoonover (Oil & Gas inspector) was on-site to observe and document results. We met with Cabot representatives Mike Hall and Ben Whitaker and Selman representatives Tyler Thomas and Kaydee Oliver. Remedial work was done on the 14H, 8H, 7H and 10H wells. Work started in August 2017 and well assessments are still ongoing.

9H 115-22252 All annuli were connected together and venting to a poly vent tank. (9x5) 28% LEL 14500ppm sample taken (13x9) 45% LEL 21200ppm sample taken (20x13) 30% LEL 13000ppm sample taken Since some presence of gas was detected at all wells annuli, it appears that some comingling of gas may have been occurring within the current vent plumbing set up.
