0170703610 2014-06-24 Casing String Witnessed No Violations Witnessed the cementing of the 13.375 intermediate casing. Good circulation was established and kept throughout the job. Halliburton was doing the cement work. Good cement returns were observed at the surface. Wiper plug did not seat. Pressure test on casing will be conducted after cement cures.
0220647653 2014-06-17 Drill / Deepen / Reopen No Violations H&P rig 521 is up over the hole. Drilling has not commenced yet. The 20 in. casing is laid out on the racks. I spoke with company men Mr. Dan Lowther and Mr. Ted Vinita. Company wanted to run 750 ft. of 20 in. surface casing. I told them that that was too deep and they would be drilling through a hydrocarbon bearing zone the Cow Run sandstone. I found two example wells within 1000 feet of where they were going to be drilling. I spoke with Inspector III Pat Shreve, SW Region supervisor Dan Goins, and permitting geologist Kenny Brown. They all agreed that less surface casing should be set. I spoke again with Mr. Dan Lowther and we agreed on less than 500 ft., but more than 300 ft.
0336825131 2014-11-14 Administrative Inspection No Violations Received an email from Mr. Jim Miller of EdgeMarc Energy stating that the post-frac drillout operation was completed this morning and they were in the process of pulling the working string out of the well bore. The production string will be landed tomorrow (11/15/15) and flowback operations will commence this upcoming week.
0404275687 2014-11-05 Administrative Inspection No Violations Spoke over the phone with EM Company Man Mr. Jim Miller at 9:00 am to check the status of stimulation operations at this well. Mr. Miller Stated that the stimulation has went smoothly and they are currently pumping stage 27.
0479329132 2014-07-15 Drill / Deepen / Reopen No Violations Visited this location to witness the plug-back operation in preparation for kick-off into the lateral portion of the well. Halliburton was on location and rigging up for the plug-back job upon my arrival. Circulation was established at 6:30 am and an equivalent mud weight of 12.6 lbs/gal was established. Discrepencies between EdgeMarcs Drilling Engineers cement calculations and Halliburtons calculations caused delays for the plug-back operation. Plug-back had not commenced upon my departure at 11:30 am.
0682810140 2014-07-09 Administrative Inspection No Violations Received call from EM Company Man Dan Lowther at 8:05 am stating that the remedial bradenhead squeeze job was done last night from approximately 9 pm until 3 am. Using Halliburtons cement truck, they were able to establish injection at 800 psi, and the cement was pumped in 1-2 bbl stages until injection pressures rose to nearly 1500 psi, indicating a good squeeze. Mr. Lowther estimated that 9-9.5 bbl of Class A cement was squeezed into the annulus of the 9.625 casing. This amount was sufficient to fill the void where cement was poorly bonded. A bond log will be run on the squeeze job after the balance plug is drilled out and FIT test is run. The squeeze job was not witnessed due to no notification of job commencing.
0698353764 2019-05-22 Production Wells No Violations On this day, I found the site gated with signage at the entrance and surrounded with an earthen berm. There is (1) producing well and (1) gas processing unit. The production facility is located near the gate with an emergency shutdown button, and consists of (4) 400 barrel steel tanks all within containment. Annular pressure monitoring devices are equipped. The 9.625 inch diameter casing has a pressure of 800 pounds per square inch (psi) and the 13.375 inch diameter casing has a pressure of 0 psi. Identification is posted at the wellhead, along with an emergency shutdown button. It will be noted that I spoke with EdgeMarc Company Representative Fritz Oser onsite.

Producers Service Corp. is the stimulation contractor on this job. Pumping of the first stage commenced at 8:50 am and is being done using a toe sleeve from Team Oil Tools. Pumping rates were gradually increased from 65 bbl/min up to 88 bbl/min and well head pressure was kept below 9500 psi. Witnessed the pumping of acid, pad, 100 mesh, 40/70 mesh, and 30/50 mesh sand to bottom. The remaining 37 stages of the stimulation will be done with the perf and plug method.
0959118602 2014-06-21 Casing String Witnessed No Violations Witnessed the cementing of the surface casing string. Good circulation and good returns were observed at the surface. I tested the mix water and on a low range Quantab it tested at 2.2 which represents 57 parts per million chloride. The pipe will be pressure tested after the cement cures.
0964922184 2014-07-21 Drill / Deepen / Reopen No Violations Visited this location to check the status of horizontal drilling activities. EdgeMarc Company Man Zach Gralinski stated that they are still drilling on the balanced plug and established a kick-off point of 7240. The bit depth was at 7263 upon arrival and the curve was beginning to be built. Mud-weight iwas 12.5 lbs/gal and the mud return samples were yielding 50/50 mix of cement and formation cuttings. Rig will continue to drill at a rate of penetration of 5/hr until it is no longer drilling out cement.
1011780285 2015-06-22 Preliminary Restoration No Violations Upon inspection, it was observed that all drilling equipment has been removed from the location, the lease road has been maintained, and a vegetative cover has been established on all areas within the original LOD. Erosion controls are in place below all drainage/sump effluents. An earthen containment berm is in place around the perimeter of the location. Preliminary restoration passed 6/22/2015. This inspection also served as a production inspection. The well is equipped with a production tree and is producing on the 5.5 production casing. A pressure gauge on the 5.5 casing read 3300 psi. The tank battery for the well consists of 4 400 bbl production tanks, 2 for produce brine, and 2 for oil/condensate. The tanks sit within a metal containment dike with a poly liner. There is a large flow control separator 50 from the tank battery. Legible and correct ID information is present at the tank battery as well as the front of the location lease road. No violations were observed.
1054571489 2014-07-02 Administrative Inspection No Violations Spoke with EdgeMarc Daytime Company Man Dan Lowther at 7:06 am and he stated that they reached the Queenston Shale at 7200, which is 400 deeper than they originally projected (6800). They will have to bring in more joints of 9.625 casing to cover the difference. Mr. Lowther also stated that they are going to load the well bore with 10 lb/gal brine to cover up the H2S-bearing Lockport Dolomite (encountered at approx. 5850) while they wait for more 9.625 casing to arrive.
1235775753 2014-07-07 Drill / Deepen / Reopen No Violations Visited location to witness remedial cementing activites on the 1st stage of the 9.625 casing/cement job. EdgeMarc ran a Halliburton cement retainer tool to 7050. 20 bbl of cement slurry was spotted at 200 above end of drill pipe (approx. 7000) to be pumped in through a stinger tool on the end of the drill pipe. Halliburton circulated fresh water through the stinger tool to keep the cement retainer clear as they stung-in to begin squeezing cement. As Halliburton began pumping, the pressure rose to 2000 psi almost immediately, and they shut down. EdgeMarc stung-out of the cement retainer and re-circulated on it to get stung-in again. The second attempt also failed. A third attempt was made after rotating the stinger tool an an additional 20 rotations to ensure it was opened properly. The third attempt also failed. The cause of the immediate pressure- up could either be faulty tools or very tight formation. EdgeMarc will run a casing test while the cement retainer and stinger tool are still down hole, then will drill the tools out and attempt to perform a bradenhead squeeze.
1243234118 2014-08-04 Drill / Deepen / Reopen No Violations Visited this location to pick up casing tally and cement ticket from 5.5 production casing job. The HP FlexRig 521 was being rigged down and hauled off of the location.

1712044408 2014-07-03 Drill / Deepen / Reopen No Violations 5:30 am: Arrived on location to witness the 2-stage cementing of the 9.625 intermediate casing. Upon arrival, EdgeMarc had not yet landed their 9.625 casing in the well head. They attempted to wash the casing down using a 60/40 mixture of 3% KCl and 10 lb/gal brine water. During this attempt, the well bore began to pressure up quickly, reaching 600 psi, and the reasons were unknown. EdgeMarc decided to pull their landing joint and top joint of casing to use a shorter 20 pup joint and landing joint to make landing easier. Left location at 9:30 am to perform other work around the area.

4:00 pm: Arrived back on location to make another attempt to witness 2-stage cementing job. The 9.625 casing had been landed upon arrival. In stage 1, HOWCO ran 5 bbl. Fresh water to load lines and a 50 bbl. Gel spacer ahead of the 330 sks. Of Varicem cement, and displaced the cement with 532 bbl. Of freshwater. Displacement returns were seen at the surface throughout the entirety of the job. After landing the wiper plug, HOWCO bumped the plug and pressured up to 500 psi above final pumping pressure. The casing held 1118 psi for 5 minutes (9:25-9:30 pm) with 0% bleed--6 hours.
