2581408 Primary Facility 2017-04-06 Routine/Complete Inspection Pending Well is shut in w/blanked spool, SI from gauges, bubbling in the cellar. Operator has tentative plans to plug. Violations pending.
2583963 Primary Facility 2017-04-12 Routine/Complete Inspection Pending On April 12, 2017 I conducted I routine (pre-plugging) inspection on Samson’s 2H, 3H, 12H, 13H, and C5 on the Pardee and Curtin Lumber Co. lease in Cameron county with Jerry Worsham of Samson to check pressures on the wells before plugging to evaluate how each well will need to be addressed in a proposed plugging procedure. The 12H and 13H had no major issues observed during the inspection. The 2H and 3H were bubbling in the cellar (violations pending post-plugging evaluation). No violations were noted on the C5, which was bubbling last inspection turned out to be an open vent that was underwater for backside of production casing. I put a gauge on the vent; no pressure, less than a trace of flow.
2629308 Primary Facility 2017-08-23 Plugging(Includes Plugged/Mined Through) No Violations Noted Rig is rigged up on the well at the time of inspection for plug and abandonment. I discussed the P&A procedure with the companyman. The operator believes they can recover production casing at freepoint for access to the intermediate casing to mill window in the intermediate casing below the surface csg shoe as a remediation to address gas behind the intermediate casing observable at surface
2633025 Primary Facility 2017-09-01 Plugging(Includes Plugged/Mined Through) No Violations Noted Rig on location for P&A. Rigged up on the 3H. Spoke w/ Companyman to discuss operations so far. Rig milled 5 1/2" csg, cut window at intermediate csg shoe (1516'), pumped resin across window to isolate gas behind production csg. Production csg then pulled for access to intermediate casing (gas behind casing). Rig will copy procedure below surface casing show. Pulling out of hole at time of inspection, planning to pump resin across intermediate casing window to finish the PA.
2635874 Primary Facility 2017-09-13 Plugging(Includes Plugged/Mined Through) Pending Routine inspection of well after P&A operations. Bubbling was noted in the cellar, however no gas was detected by placing bottle w/ tubing over bubbles and monitoring w/ Altair 5x gas meter
2639126 Primary Facility 2017-09-19 Routine/Complete Inspection No Violations Noted Routine site inspection of Samson Exploration Pardee Curtain Pad E on September 19, 2017. No one was onsite during my inspection. The four wells on this pad have been recently plugged. The wells remain in an observation phase. The wells are not deemed plugged officially until the Department issues a plugging certificate. Well 023-21034 has some bubbling occurring within the well cellar (see picture). Joe Gaboff with the Department is over seeing the plugging operation and I will be referring the issue to Mr. Gaboff for further investigation.

Miscellaneous equipment from the plugging operation remains onsite. Some of the BMPs for site restoration have been installed.

2639980 Primary Facility 2017-09-25 Plugging(Includes Plugged/Mined Through) No Violations Noted Well is capped following plugging ops. Cellar full of water. Minor bubbling in cellar has ceased where it was previously noted
2659750 Primary Facility 2017-11-14 Plugging(Includes Plugged/Mined Through) No Violations Noted November 14, 2017: Certificate of Well Plugging for the Pardee & Curtin Lumber E 3H (023-20185) has been received, reviewed, signed, and sent to file.
2663584 Primary Facility 2017-11-21 Plugging(Includes Plugged/Mined Through) No Violations Noted Routine inspection of 4 plugged wells. Rig off location following remediation of the #12 to address annular venting. At the time of inspection this well had a 2" candy cane. No venting was observed, and there was no gas was detected with an altair 5x gas meter at the vent. The other 3 wells all had vent pipes as well, and no gas was detected. No obvious concerns were observed.
2696021 Primary Facility 2018-02-20 Plugging(Includes Plugged/Mined Through) No Violations Noted Routine inspection of (4) plugged wells on pad. All four wells had 2" candy cane vent pipes erected as well monuments. No obvious integrity issues were observed.

All four wells need to be marked with permit number in accordance with 25 PA Code Chapter 78.97

2721413 Primary Facility 2018-04-23 Plugging(Includes Plugged/Mined Through) No Violations Noted A routine inspection of four plugged unconventional wells on the Pardee and Curtin Lumber C12 pad was conducted April 23, 2018. At the time of inspection, the 12H, 13H, 2H and 3H all had 2" candy cane vent pipes with marker sign erected as a plugged well monument. No visible or audible flow was observed at the vents. All casings are below grade and the pad is reclaimed. No obvious major issues were onserved at this time.
2759706 Primary Facility 2018-08-01 Routine/Complete Inspection No Violations Noted On behalf of Samson Exploration, ARM Group Inc. has submitted a notice of termination (NOT) for Pardee Curtin CO C-12 (Well Pad E) covered under ESX10-023-0001. The Department received this NOT on July 16, 2018.

On August 1, 2018 Department representative Sue Herzing conducted a restoration inspection at the above listed site with Steve Trujilo of Samson Exploration and Joe Kunst of ARM Group. The well pad has been restored back to approximate original contours. All run-off from the site is being directed towards the wetland. We walked throughout the restored well pad during the site inspection. Overall the site exceeds 70% uniform, perennial, vegetative cover. All temporary E&S controls have been removed.

Four Marcellus wells have been plugged (023-20134, 023-20135, 023-20185, and 023-20186). Each well is represented by a tagged well monument. Post plugging site restoration reports have been submitted for the above listed wells.

Per this inspection, I hereby approve the NOT for ESX10-023-0001 and the p
