0024863867 2017-01-19 Plug / Plug Back No Violations I met Randy at the site in the morning. He ran in with his tools and tagged the top of the clay at a depth of 300 feet. They had another 5 ton load of clay delivered in the afternoon. Randy washed another 2.5 tons of clay in the well filling it to surface again. He shut down for the evening to allow the clay to settle.
0123941616 2016-12-06 Production Wells No Violations I was contacted by Eric Ashcraft on behalf of Prime Time Energy to report that Randy Moran would be moving in this week to plug the well. On the day of my inspection I found that the fencing had been removed from the entrance point to the well, and the horses had been relocated. There had been recent dozer work to level the access drive to the well, provide space for truck and trailer. No rig equipment had been moved in. It was raining during the inspection and the site was very muddy. I called Randy to get an update on when he plans to move in. He said that the home owner is now petitioning to buy the well and advised me to contact Eric Ashcraft. I called Eric and explained that the well has ben proven to be idle. There was no viable oil or gas production in the time that Tom Whitney tried to produce the well. I also informed him that the well is not currently, nor has it ever been, plumbed to provide domestic gas to the home. The well was ordered to be plugged, and the order was found to be lawful by the Ohio Oil and Gas Commission. Eric agreed with me and he said that he would contact Randy to instruct him to move ahead with plugging the well.
0290272198 2017-02-24 Final Restoration No Violations On the day of my inspection I found that the landowner had a bulldozer and dump truck parked at the well site. There was a large mound of top soil on the site. The fence had been removed, and it appeared that the landowner was in the process of re-working the contour of the entire area. I had spoken to Randy Moran in regards to the final restoration, and he claimed that Mr. Schonauers son wanted to restore the site. The remaining 100 barrel steel tank and ladder had been removed. The tank battery site was still covered in a layer of gravel, and there were still three short sections of steel flow line laying in the gravel. There was no one present at the time of my inspection. I called Sharon Zolman with Prime Time Energy, since they were the ones who actually paid to have the well plugged. She did not know what the arrangement was with regards to the restoration, but she said that she would investigate and get back to me. I also called Mr. Whitney, but I got no answer. I left a voice message.

1480518996 2016-11-29 Administrative Inspection No Violations I spoke with Eric Ashcraft in regards to plugging this well. Eric is acting as a representative of Prime Time Energy. Thomas Whitney reported on 7/12/16 that Prime Time Energy was taking responsibility for having this well plugged. Eric said that he and the plugging contractor, Randy Moran, had been out to see the landowner, Ronald Schonauer, recently and they were on hold at Mr. Schonauers request in order to allow him time to relocate his horses and remove the fencing to allow access to the well. He also claimed that Randy was supposed to be out there again this week to meet with the landowner and formulate a plan to get the necessary equipment into the location.

1483538280 2017-01-03 Production Wells No Violations On the day of my inspection I found that the access drive to the well was covered in new gravel. Randy Morans rig was still parked behind the barn. It was raining and the site was very muddy. Mr. Schonauer came out to talk while I was there. He commented that Randy had been in touch and they agreed to wait until the weather changes and the ground freezes before moving the rig. Mr. Schonauer discussed the history of the well with me, and we spoke about the plugging process. I tried to call Randy to get an idea of when he planned to move the rig, but he did not answer.
1483640391 2017-01-05 Plug / Plug Back No Violations On the day of my inspection Randy Moran moved in and rigged up to plug the well. Randy pulled all of the rods from the well. There was no paraffin and very little oil on the rods. The completion report was never submitted for this well when it was drilled. I was able to find scanned copies of the original cement tickets. Those records show that 8.625 inch casing was set at a depth of 500 feet, and power-mudded with 50 sacks of clay. They also show that 7 inch casing was ran to a depth of 1055 feet, and pulled from the well. Finally, the records show that 5.5 inch casing was set at a depth of 3538 feet, and cemented with 35 sacks of class A cement. There are no records of conductor casing being set in the well. Randy and I discussed digging around the wellhead to confirm the presence of conductor casing that may not have been reported. I also spoke with Eric Ashcraft, representative for Prime Time Energy, in regards to a proposed plugging plan and the volume of clay required to follow that plan. Eric claimed that he would be purchasing the plugging clay from Logan.

1494000950 2017-05-04 Final Restoration No Violations I received a signed copy of the landowner waiver (form 5) from Mr. Whitney for the final restoration of the well site. On the day of my inspection I found that all oil well related materials and production equipment had been removed from the property. The Schonauers were in the process of grading the well site to their specifications to install a new grain bin. The gravel where the tanks were set was still in place. I met with Ronald Schonauer while I was at the site. He said that they wanted to keep the gravel from the tanks. He also said that they would take care of all the grading and seeding of the site. He did not know of any remaining materials or debris that still needed to be removed. There was not a separate lease road to the well, as it was accessed from the main farm driveway. This site passes final restoration with a landowner waiver for backfill and grade wellsite and establish vegetative cover at wellsite.
1503271178 2015-12-18 Production Wells No Violations On the day of my inspection I found that the well was not shut in, as ordered in the temporary restraining order. The casing valve and tubing valve were both open. The well was not operating at the time of my inspection. The polished rod was in the same position as it was on 12/16/15. I took temperature readings at the two 100 barrel storage tanks in order to determine fluid levels. The first tank registered 14 degrees F from top to bottom. The second tank registered 13 degrees F from approximately 6 feet to bottom, and 21 degrees F from 6 feet to top. There was no visible condensation line on either tank. The plastic line was not buried and the 55 gallon drums were still staged near the wellhead. Identification was still not posted.

I recently spoke with Sharron Zolman of Prime Time Energy and Thomas Whitney about who is responsible for the restoration and getting a landowner waiver from Mr. Schonauer.
1607965153 2016-02-05 Production Wells No Violations On the day of my inspection I found no fuel source connected to the engine. I found no evidence of a flow line to the tank battery and both 100 barrel tanks were empty. Identification was posted and I found no leaks or spills.
1663191697 2017-01-13 Plug / Plug Back No Violations On the day of my inspection Randy Moran got the 5.5 inch casing ripped off at 2200 feet. He pulled 20 joints and started running clay. They washed another 6 tons of clay down the well. Randy pulled the remaining 5.5 inch casing from the well. I spoke with Randy concerning the upcoming federal holiday on Monday 1/16/17 and he agreed to not run any more clay into the well until 1/17/17. He said that he would be out to pull the 8 inch casing.
2025180884 2017-04-13 Final Restoration No Violations On the day of my inspection I found that the well site was still bare with a large mound of stockpiled soil. The tank battery site was still in place with gravel and a tank ladder. I met with MR. Ronald Schonauer to discuss the restoration. Mr. Schonauer claimed that he and his son wanted to restore the site. They were putting in a new grain bin and they were staging the soil on the old well site. He also said that they wanted the gravel from the tank site. I asked him if he had been approached by Whitney or Zolman with a landowner waiver. He said that Whitney sent him one over a month ago, but it was still sitting on his kitchen table. I went over the form with Mr. Schonauer and explained to him that if he wants to restore the site, then he needs to get the waiver signed and sent back to Whitney. I also told him that if he wants Whitney to do the work then he needs to let me know so they can get started. When I left Mr. Schonauer claimed that he would sign the waiver and get it mailed back to Whitney.
