2012750939 2015-04-01 Orphan No Violations My inspection this day was with Hocking County DOGRM Inspector Kip Thompson. We found an idle well equipped with 4.5 diameter casing and capped with a 4 x 2 swage, several valves, gauges, a regulator and a 1 plastic line that appeared to have been for domestic service. The wellhead is about 5 above ground level and the annulus between the 4.5 production casing and the 8 5/8 surface casing is open with fluid level visible about 18 down from the surface. The flow line was disconnected from the well. There are no tanks or other production/storage equipment associated with this well.

Google Earth historical images of the well area shows it to have been wooded with the dirt lease road stopping at the well. It is now a rural subdivision. The direction of the flow line trends toward the house to the east and across the hollow. There is a small 2-car garage on this side of the hollow near the well.

Available records indicate that this well was drilled in 1991 by Mercury Oil. The well was drilled to 383 with a hook wall packer set at 380. The completion report notes a large show of gas in the Injun Sandstone, at 380. A Chiefs Order was issued in 1993 to plug or produce.

Pictures taken, SEM is 112 and the well is not leaking.
