0005024697 2016-06-02 Production Wells No Violations Follow-up to Compliance Notice #995785404 issued on 5/3/2016 due to identification, safety, and pollution and contamination issues found at this location. My inspection found the tubing valve open and the valve on flow line from the wellhead to the separator also open. The production chart indicated that there was pressure at the separator and the inflow and outflow valves were open. The production chart has been changed since the previous inspection on 4/28/2016 and the small gas leak at the separator is no longer occurring. An inspection of the previously found contaminated areas revealed that none of the remedial activities required by the prior Compliance Notice have been undertaken to remediate those areas and remains grossly impacted. Also, the required identification has not been posted. Big Sky Energy Incorporated continues to be in violation of Chapter 1501:9-1-07 and 1501.9-9-05(A)10 of the Ohio Administrative Code and Chapter 1509.22(A) of the Ohio Revised Code.
0499936722 2014-01-14 Production Wells No Violations My inspection found the weeds cut down inside the tank battery per my request. The proper identification sign was posted. The annual production records were up-to-date in our database.
0995785404 2016-04-28 Production Wells Violations Noted I conducted this inspection to follow-up on a Temporary Restraining Order issued by the Trumbull

--105 requiring Big Sky Energy Incorporated to suspend all oil and gas operations in the State of Ohio. My inspection found the wellhead equipped with a 1.5 plunger lift system. The electronic controls at the wellhead are on and set to cycle in 10 hours. The casing valve is shut and the gate and tubing valves are open. The well is currently in production. There is a minor amount of gas leaking from the tubing slips. The well produces to a horizontal separator to the north and the production chart in the separator was changed on 4-21-2016 and is recording production at this time. Oil has leaked and is currently leaking from the separator and has stained the ground in front of the separator in a 6 X 4 area. A small line to the motor valve is also leaking gas at the connection point. Oil staining is also present on the west side of the separator. The flow line and sales line valves are open at this time. The well produces to a diked tank battery containing one (1) 100 barrel production tank and one (1) 50 barrel brine tank. There is no ID posted at the tank battery or wellhead. The dump line from the separator to the 100 barrel tank has leaked oil and brine from the connections, outside of the containment dike and impacted an area measuring 12 X 18. There is free product outside of containment below the dump line riser pipe. Three quarters of the area (24 X 18) inside the tank battery containment dike has been grossly impacted by oil and brine. There are saturated pads present and thick layers of peat moss have been spread to try and control the ongoing release. I was unable to determine at this time if the tank bottoms had lost integrity, but a hole present near the 50 barrel brine tank shows at least 6-7 of saturation in the rock and soil. Big Sky Energy will immediately ce

1100910711 2012-07-10 Production Wells Violations Noted On 7/10/2012, I conducted a production well inspection status check. My inspection found the well was a plunger lift unit (rabbit) that was in good condition. The tank battery contained one 100 barrel oil storage tank and one 50 barrel brine storage tank. The entire tank battery was overgrown with weeds/grass and there was no well information on the identification sign. The lease road was in good condition. Inspection not passed.
1347883793 2012-09-17 Production Wells No Violations I conducted a follow-up compliance notice follow-up inspection status check. My inspection found the tank battery will no identification and the overgrown weeds throughout the dike area. I called Jamie Campbell for Big Sky and asked for the proper identification to be posted. I will re-inspect by 10/31/2012.
1394453014 2014-03-10 Production Wells Violations Noted I was on location today to check compliance of Chiefs Order # 2014-43. The well was equipped with a plunger lift unit. The valve leading to the flow line on the wellhead was open. The tank battery consists of a 100 barrel production tank, a 50 barrel brine tank and a heat, treated separator. There was a identification sign posted on the stairs at the production tank with no well information. All of the production equipment spacing was in compliance. The dike surrounding the tanks was slightly weathered; however, it meets containment requirements. The sales line valve exiting the separator was currently open. There was a production chart inside the separator with no date. I noticed oil stained soil and grass around the flow line leading to the separator and in front of the separator near the production chart box. Peat moss was spread at both impacted areas. Pictures of the production equipment were taken. The well is in production which is in non-compliance of Chiefs order #2014-43. The well needs shut in immediately.

Big Sky still needs to: The tanks need to be steam cleaned and pulled from the tank battery. The impacted stone and soil needs to be excavated down to clean soil or clay. The contaminated soil needs to be disposed of at an approved landfill. Clean soil and stone needs to be replaced prior to rebuilding the tank battery. All failed connections or leaks need to be repaired. Post the proper identification.

1828218053 2014-12-04 Administrative Inspection No Violations I performed an administrative inspection for Compliance Notice #1394453014, which has been closed at this time. Operator was granted a stay in reference to Chiefs Order 2014-43.
2057482849 2017-09-01 Production Wells No Violations I inspected this well location as an evaluation of current conditions and follow-up to previous Compliance Notice issued for leakage of oil from the battery tanks and separator which had impacted areas within the battery . At the time of this inspection, I observed the following: a wellhead with plunger-lift system and associated tank battery located on a larger, farm property. The battery was comprised of one 100-barrel, steel production tank, one 50-barrel, steel brine tank, and horizontal mechanical separator. There were several large areas of oil staining at the base of the separator, around the production tank, and along the flow-line between the separator and the battery that indicate prior releases of oil to the ground surface that remained unremediated. There were no apparent active leaks, and the valve-connections at the wellhead were closed. The various elements of the production systems were in disrepair, with a missing/non-functioning tank lids, inactive chart recorder, broken doors on the separator, along with extensive over-growth of tall grasses and other vegetation in and around the system. Access to the well and battery were afforded by a shared-use, gravel-paved access road that was in reasonable condition. There was no identification at the well.
