| 0013219123 | 2017-04-25 | Production Wells | No Violations | The dyke around the tank battery contains water which tested 5.6 on the high range Quantab chloride test strip. This corresponds to 1303 parts per million chlorides. Kevin Mullins was contacted to clean up water from the containment. He stated that they isolated each of the 3 production tanks and measured fluid levels in the tanks and that the tanks are not leaking. He also stated that the salt in the containment is from maintenance last year when they replaced a tank and spilled some brine within the containment dyke. The containment is lined. Salt levels are dropping slowly as indicated on field test results. |
| 0045217313 | 2017-01-26 | Production Wells | No Violations | Water in the tank battery was tested using Quantab chloride test strips. A high range and low range strip were used at different locations. The high range strip indicated 360 ppm chloride and the low range indicated 232 ppm chloride. The salt content of the tank battery is decreasing. No leakage was observed from equipment in the tank battery. |
| 0134017356 | 2016-08-01 | Production Wells | No Violations | The fluid in the tank battery has been cleaned up. The tank heater was shut off and no gas was venting from it. Gas was audibly leaking from the well head. There is a fluid leak at the well head from the solvent injector. The oil and absorbent around the well is partially cleaned up. There is a pile of black mucky material next to the pump jack. The third tank from the well in the tank battery is unhooked from the flowline. The tank was empty. The loadout line and a vent line connected to the middle tank were still in place. The loadout line to the first tank is unhooked. The clear plastic hose was removed from the dike and is coiled on top of it. The operator needs to locate the tank leak and repair or replace the leaking tank. The pumper told Tom Benko that a tank overflowed over the winter due to the vent line freezing up between the middle and third tanks. They also replaced the first tank closest to the well. |
| 0344200666 | 2007-06-21 | Production Wells | No Violations | Inspect well and locations. New tank battery has been constructed, three 210 bbl tanks are constructed within a dike area lined with a liner. The original tank battery at the house has been removed and cleaned up. Site looks good. Well has been serviced recently and has newer stuffing box with a stuffing box leak detector. Although the stuffing box appears to have a slow leak. Well head area heavily stained with oil. Well in production during inspection. |
| 0461171197 | 2016-07-28 | Production Wells | No Violations | The operator has placed absorbent around the well. Oil is cleaned up. The pumper was advised to remove the absorbent material. There is still water in the tank battery. There hasnt been any rain in a significant time. The field around the location is dry; there are no puddles. Soil in the field is powdery and produces dust. Water within the tank battery registered 9.2 on a high range Quantab strip which is above the scale on the Quantab chart. The chart stops at 9.0 or 6482 ppm chloride. A 1 inch diameter clear vinyl hose was located over the containment berm with one end submerged in the fluid. Staining and dead grass were found at the other end of the hose outside containment. The hose was not discharging at the time of inspection. No sump pump has been installed in the dike as the pumper stated would be done. The pumper was contacted and stated he carries the pump with him and pumps the dike when he tends the well. No leaks are visible from any of the tanks or lines. The pumper blamed water on rainfall, which is not supported by evidence in the surrounding area and the salt content of water in the containment. The tank heater was venting gas through the burner tube in the 200 barrel tank closest to the well. The burner was not lit. The well was pumping during inspection. The flowline valve to the tank the burner was under was closed. |
| 0625827014 | 2010-11-08 | Production Wells | No Violations | Inspect well. Site ok. |
| 0641890248 | 2016-06-23 | Production Wells | No Violations | The pumper requested to meet with the inspector. Oil around the well has been cleaned up with peat sorb. Heavy rain fell on the area overnight. No free oil was observed. The pumper stated they had pumped out the tank battery but rainfall filled it up again. The pumper stated they would be installing a sump pump in the containment area and plumbing it into the water tank. |
| 0696949705 | 2016-10-12 | Production Wells | No Violations | All 3 tanks in the tank battery have fluid in them. The well was pumping during inspection. Water has been vacuumed from the dike.

There is fluid around the wellhead. A 2 inch line in the tank battery was observed dripping brine slowly. The well has not been brought into compliance with the previously issued compliance notice yet. |
