2414285 Primary Facility 2015-10-08 Routine/Complete Inspection No Violations Noted The Department inspected the SWEPI LP – Gee 848 well pad (ESX29-117-14-0014) in Middlebury Twp., Tioga Co. on 10/8/2015 @ 1150 hours. Construction of the site is complete. The existing vertical well pad has been converted into a 200’ x 200’ pad for temporary tank storage. This inspection meets the requirements of 58 Pa. C.S. § 3258 (a.1) regarding pre-spud inspection of the site. No violations are issued at this time.
2470431 Primary Facility 2016-04-01 Incident- Response to Accident or Event No Violations Noted The Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) inspected the Gee 848 well pad in response to notification of a release of drilling mud @ 1300 hours on 4/1/2016. Jerry McGinnis of Shell Appalachia (SWEPI) notified the phone duty officer that @ 2105 hours on 3/31/2016 that two barrels of drilling mud was released onto containment and ~5 gallons off containment, when a rubber hose malfunctioned. Present for the inspection were myself; Rory Hunter, Env. Coordinator (SWEPI); and Brett McCoy, OSR (SWEPI). The weather was 64°, partly sunny, winds 24 mph WSW. When the spill occurred SWEPI was in the process of transferring a synthetic based drilling mud from the tank to a truck via a pump. The hose from the pump to the truck ruptured, releasing 2 barrels to containment and ~5 gallons sprayed outside the containment. SWEPI contractor Haliburton cleaned up the mud immediately. All puddles within the vicinity of the release area were removed with the vacuum truck during the inspection. No violations are issued at thi

2522823 Primary Facility 2016-09-22 Routine/Complete Inspection No Violations Noted The Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) inspected the Gee 848 well pad located in Middlebury Twp., Tioga County on 9/22/2016 @ 1100 hours. A valid site ID sign was observed at the entrance to the access road. The E&S plan, well permit and onsite E&S inspection log were located in the mailbox. The site was last inspected by company personnel on 9/21/2016 with the comments “E&S inspection complete” SFB.

Present onsite for the inspection was Chris Underwood OSR, SWEPI. SWEPI is currently in the process of flowing back all three wells. The wells are flowing back into 1 open top tank/well so fluid production can be monitored. The fluid is then transferred to a battery of tanks located around the perimeter of the pad surface. Residual waste trucks are making periodic visits to empty fluid from the tank battery. The OSR was instructed to ensure fluid is removed from the secondary containment surrounding the tanks in a timely fashion.

19 waste roll-off containers were observed on the pony pad. These cont

2531023 Primary Facility 2016-10-24 Incident- Response to Accident or Event No Violations Noted The Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) inspected the Gee 848 well pad located in Middlebury Twp., Tioga County on 10/24/2016 @ 1100 hours in response to notification of secondary containment failure on 10/21/2016. The weather was 52° and cloudy.

A valid site ID sign was observed at the entrance to the access road. The E&S plan, well permit and onsite E&S inspection log were located in the mailbox. The site was last inspected by company personnel on 10/10/2016 with the comments “E&S inspection complete” SFB.

According to Chris Underwood, Completions OSR for SWEPI, on 10/21/2016 a higher than average precipitation volume was received by the area over the preceding few days. A large section of corrugated tubing along the backside of the tanks, used as the sidewall for the secondary containment surrounding the temporary produced fluids tanks, rolled out allowing the felt lining to slump and fluid to rush into the rock lined ditch behind the tanks. An unknown volume of fluid washed down the ditch. Mr

2537412 Primary Facility 2016-11-16 Incident- Response to Accident or Event No Violations Noted The Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) inspected the Gee 848 well pad located in Middlebury Twp., Tioga County on 11/16/2016 @ 1400 hours in response to a spill notification of 5-10 gallons of produced fluid on the pad surface. The weather was 50° and rain.

Kevin Morgan, Completions OSR for SWEPI, was not onsite during the inspection. Representatives for Express Energy Services stated they discovered 5-10 gallons of produced fluid, on the ground just outside of the tank containment on the NE side of the pad, at approximately 0730 hours. They stated the spill most likely occurred during the previous night and was not reported. Shell is conducting an internal investigation of the incident.

The spilled fluid had already been removed by a hydrovac truck before I arrived onsite. Due to precipitation, no staining or damp material was observed on the pad surface. No violations are noted at this time. I departed the site at 1445 hours.
