Inspection Data

INSPECTION ID	DATE	DESCRIPTION	COMMENT	VIOLATION ID	VIOLATION CODE	VIOLATION COMMENT
-1196437190	2005-04-13		orphan well case number 1998-07-099. Add well to system.
-1.19644E+15	2005-04-13		orphan well case number 1998-07-099. Add well to system.
1362422707	2013-03-04		Inspected the Walton #1 (#60946) as a standard orphan well status check. This well is a active flowing artesian water well with associated sulfur smell. Location is croplands.
1375974318	2013-07-31		An inspection of this orphan well revealed a strong and consistent flow of artesian water and the release of H2S from the inside of an approximate 6.5 inside diameter casing (ID). The flow rate was not measured (Refer to video clip for details) but amount of water released was discharged just as quickly into a second casing. The immediate area surrounding the well consisted of a depression in the ground surface (i.e. resembled a pit approx 5'x 5') with pooled water and a layer of white film. A second casing was also observed within this depression approximately 5' away and contained a yellow filter style device for debris on the top that is often seen for drain tile. The fluid that was being released from the approx 6.5 (ID) casing drained into this casing. A measurement of this casing could not be obtained due to the fluid level and presence of H2S. The immediate area also contained a concrete monument likely from a standard rig that measured 10' x 5' x 2.5'. The well was monitored with a gas meter equipped with an automatic pump, a probe and filter. A strong rotten egg odor was encountered and the H2S reading from this well reached a maximum of 36 ppm. The well was situated on property designated as agricultural field with no crops planted at this time, no residential dwellings within approximately 500', and located off a state route. A GPS reading was obtained and recorded for the potential entry off state route. Central Office will be notified of H2S status for this county and township.
1415733988	2014-10-30		This well is under contract to be plugged for the Orphan Well Program by Davis Well Service. At the time of the inspection the rig and half tank were moved to the location. The current farmer for the property, Corey Bills, was on location to represent the landowner. The well was still flowing water from the top of the casing. The plugging process is scheduled to start on Monday, 11-3-14.
1415905459	2014-11-06		This well is under contract to be plugged for the Orphan Well Program by Davis Well Service. At the time of the inspection the bottom plug set on 11-5-14 was tagged at 980'. Fresh water was still flowing from the well at about the same rate as before plugging. The plugging crew set 952' of 1.5 tubing and ran 300 sacks of 50/50 Pozmix in two stages. Good circulation was maintained throughout the cementing. A crew from O'Brien's Safety Services was on location to monitor gas levels. There were readings as high as 24 ppm Hydrogen Sulfide at the wellhead when the well was opened that morning. Levels around the well and work area stayed between zero and 15 ppm of Hydrogen Sulfide throughout the plugging.
1416245047	2014-11-07		This well is under contract to be plugged for the Orphan Well Program by Davis Well Service. At the time of the inspection the second plug set on 11-6-14 was tagged at 110'. Fresh water was still flowing from the well at about the same rate as before plugging. The next plug was pumped down the well through the wellhead at a maximum pressure of 280 psi with 75 sacks of 50/50 Pozmix. Immediately after pumping the level inside the well remained static with no signs of any gas or water. The well was then shut in. A crew from O'Brien's Safety Services was on location to monitor gas levels. There were readings as high as 14 ppm Hydrogen Sulfide at the wellhead when the well was opened that morning. Levels around the well and work area stayed between zero and 5 ppm of Hydrogen Sulfide throughout the plugging.
1432047954	2015-05-19		At the time of the inspection the area was graded and all other equipment and debris has been removed. The small pit surrounding the existing drainage tile that was put in by the landowner remains next to the well. Final Restoration Passed.
1471065274	2014-11-12		This well was plugged for the Orphan Well Program by Davis Well Service. At the time of the inspection the cement level inside the well was at 6' below grade and there was no sign of any gas or water. The restoration work on the location was underway and the well was cut off below grade. The identification plate was then attached to the well and the remaining hole was filled in. The concrete water basin will be removed but the existing drainage tile will be left in place.
2133080597	2014-11-03		This well is under contract to be plugged for the Orphan Well Program by Davis Well Service. At the time of the inspection the water flow from the well was diverted by pumping it from the well to the half tank. This allowed a collar to be welded to the 10 casing for attaching a wellhead. A crew from O'Brien's Safety Services was on location to monitor gas levels. There were readings as high as 73 ppm Hydrogen Sulfide at the wellhead during the cleanout. Levels around the well and work area stayed between zero and 15 ppm of Hydrogen Sulfide.
-232555660	2014-11-04		This well is under contract to be plugged for the Orphan Well Program by Davis Well Service. At the time of the inspection the crew started drilling with the 4 cable tool bit at 9 am. The fresh water flow was diverted to the existing drain tile. The water flow could be moved to the half tank in the event anything other than the existing fresh water in encountered. An obstruction was hit at 60' and again at 151'. These obstructions were broken through and a total depth of 1462' was reached. The crew then ran 1430' of 1.5 tubing with a 5' mud anchor in preparation for plugging on 11-5-14. A crew from O'Brien's Safety Services was on location to monitor gas levels. There were readings as high as 55 ppm Hydrogen Sulfide at the wellhead during the cleanout. Levels around the well and work area stayed between zero and 15 ppm of Hydrogen Sulfide.
565158973	2014-11-11		This well is under contract to be plugged for the Orphan Well Program by Davis Well Service. At the time of the inspection the flow of water from the well had slowed even more overnight. The flow continued to slow as the brush and stone plug set on 11-10-14 at about 60' was added to over the next 4 hours. The final length of this plug was from 60' to 45' and 35' of 1.5 tubing was set above that. A heavy mix of 50/50 Pozmix with 4% calcium added was pumped down the well until returns were observed at the surface. A total of 60 sacks was used and the cement was weighed by the inspector at 15.1 lb./gal. The level inside the well settled at about 6' below grade with no sign of gas or water. A crew from O'Brien's Safety Services was on location to monitor gas levels. There were readings as high as 4 ppm Hydrogen Sulfide at the wellhead when the well was opened that morning. Levels around the well and work area stayed between zero and 2 ppm of Hydrogen Sulfide throughout the plugging.
758914789	2014-03-05		At the time of the inspection there was a steady flow of water coming from the casing of the suspected well. This water tested at a 2 on a low range quantab and flowed into a drainage tile in the middle of a 10' x 12' depression. The path of this drainage tile is unknown but slow flowing puddles of water were evident to the north stretching an undetermined distance. The temperature at the time was below freezing but these puddle had not frozen over. A low range quantab reading of 4 was obtained from one of the puddles approximately 50' north of the well. A follow-up inspection will be needed to determine the extent of the flowing water due to heavy snow still on the ground.
936752812	2014-11-10		This well is under contract to be plugged for the Orphan Well Program by Davis Well Service. At the time of the inspection there was no sign of the surface plug set on 11-7-14 was tagged and fresh water was still flowing from the well at about half the rate as before plugging. The decision was made to set a brush and stone plug at about 60' to slow the water even more before setting a final plug. The plugging crew spent 4 hours on this plug with little effect on the flow of water from the well. A crew from O'Brien's Safety Services was on location to monitor gas levels. There were readings as high as 21 ppm Hydrogen Sulfide at the wellhead when the well was opened that morning. Levels around the well and work area stayed between zero and 5 ppm of Hydrogen Sulfide throughout the plugging.
