| 0243647523 | 2016-11-08 | Production Wells | No Violations | On the day of my inspection I met with landowner Alan Kukla to look at the two wells on his property to the east of TR 65. I found that this well was equipped with 5.5 inch casing set on a casing hanger and a 5.5 inch wellhead. There was a joint of 2 inch tubing set in the wellhead, which was open to the atmosphere. One of the wellhead nipples was fitted with an open ball valve and connected to 2 inch steel flow line that entered the ground in the direction of the tank battery for permit 3130. The other nipple valve was fitted with a closed ball valve. There was one 100 barrel steel tank 20 feet from the wellhead. There were no visible connections to the tank from the wellhead. There was an open ended rubber hose lying on the ground that was connected to the inlet line in the top of the tank. The tank battery down by the road, near permit 3130 consisted of one 100 barrel steel tank and one vertical separator in an earthen dike. The production equipment was rusted and the dike was overgrown with vegetation. There was no identification posted at the tank battery or wellhead. I found no leaks or spills at the tank battery or wellhead. Production records show that Gress Oil & Gas reported gas production for this well in 2004, 2005 and 2006. Mr. and Mrs. Kukla had statements of royalty payments from Gress through that period, with the last payment in October of 2006. Mr. Kukla also alleged that the previous landowners, the Mitchells, reported that Jeff Gress stripped the rods and tubing out of the wells and stopped pumping them in late 2006. I called Jeff Gress, who claimed that he briefly pumped the wells as a favor to the landowner. I also tried to call Midwest Oil & Gas. The company no longer exists, and I was unable to get contact info for the owner, Vern Holderman. |
| 1122265593 | 2016-12-13 | Administrative Inspection | No Violations | I contacted Jeff Gress in an attempt to collect more information on the Meek wells. His name was mentioned by current landowner Alan Kukla and current home owner Jerry Heddleson. Gress also briefly submitted production reports on both wells from 2004 to 2006. Jeff claimed that he was contacted by the previous landowner Lance Mitchell to operate the wells. Mr. Mitchell allegedly believed that he became the owner of the wells when he purchased the property off of Ronald Meek in 2002. Jeff claimed that he put his own string of tubing in the Meek 1 to produce it as a rabbit well. He said that the Meek 2 was already equipped with tubing, but he supplied the rabbit, the catcher and motor valve for both wells. Jeff said that in 2006 National gas phased out their sales line in that area because there was 6 miles of bad line where they were losing 50% of their production. He also said that when Mr. Mitchell looked into domestic ownership he found that he didnt actually own the wells. Jeff said that was when he pulled all of his equipment out and stopped operating the wells. |

| 1483557480 | 2017-01-04 | Administrative Inspection | No Violations | I was contacted by Lance Mitchell in response to a message that I had left for him around 12/13/16. Mr. Mitchell claimed that when he purchased the property from Ronald Meek in 2002 he understood that he had the mineral rights to the property. He did not agree that he ever claimed ownership of the wells, or that he had ever tried to get ownership of the wells. He said that he did not live at the property, but he was not aware of anyone ever trying to produce the wells until he was contacted by Jeff Gress. He claimed that Gress said that he had gotten word that someone from the State was out looking for abandoned wells, and thats why he offered produce the wells. Mr. Mitchell said that Gress made an attempt to produce this well, but he was unsuccessful. Mr. Mitchell alleged that Gress said that the well was a lost cause, so he pulled the equipment. |
