Inspections Performed

Inspection ID Inspection Category Inspection Date Inspection Type Inspection Result Inspection Comments
2725415 Primary Facility 2018-05-02 Routine/Complete Inspection No Violations Noted The 4H and 5H wells were spudded on 4/18/2018. Conductors set. The 1H, 2H and 3H wells are staged for production. A soil stockpile was installed as shown on site plans. Soil stabilized with straw. It is unknown if fertilizer and seed mixture was applied. Silt stock applied around stockpile. No leaks from production equipment.
2740823 Primary Facility 2018-06-13 Drilling/Alteration No Violations Noted Two wells being drilled. The 5H is currently being drilled. Containment appears sound. No leaks detected.
2810333 Primary Facility 2018-12-04 Incident- Response to Accident or Event Viol(s) Noted & Immediately Corrected Arrived onsite at 10:43 in response to a spill notification received on 12/3/18 at 15:45. Peg Farrell reported a release of about 25 gallons of brine water off of containment at the northeast corner of the pad near the produced water tanks and sand vac. The impacted area included a portion of the a collection ditch at the edge of the pad. Chief was in the process of stimulating the 4H well.

Met with Colter, Company Man onsite and Kellon, Environmental Field Coordinator. They believed the cause of the spill to be from an overflowed blender. The overflow then leaked through containment and onto the pad surface. There are two layers of containment under the equipment (plastic, felt, plastic, felt). Chief will continue to inspect the containment during operations and repair any punctures or tears found.

The vac truck onsite removed pooled water from the containment as soon as the spill was noticed. At the time of inspection an excavator was removing the impacted area of the pad. The area being excavated was ap

2831472 Primary Facility 2019-01-03 Routine/Complete Inspection No Violations Noted I arrived at the site at 12:05. The weather conditions are cloudy skies, chilly, with occasional snow flurries, and temperatures in the mid 30's. A vacuum truck is on site in the process of removing storm water on the pad surface adjacent to the production fluid tanks containment unit. There was no other activity or personnel at the site. The Kaufmann 1H-5H wells are in production. Chief submitted a stimulation notification to the Department on 11/29/18 at 8:58 AM. The comments in the notification indicate the frac started on the 4H well at 7:28 AM on 11/29/18. The 4H and 5H wells are the most recently completed wells. Completions operations consists of hydraulic fracturing (stimulation), hydraulic fracturing plug drill-outs, and flowback. The secondary containment liner and equipment utilized for completions, along with frac tanks, remains on the pad surface. Impacted material associated with a spill of fluid out of a frac blender tub remains on the pad surface in the northeast quadrant of the pad
