| 2509646 | Primary Facility | 2016-08-10 | Plugging(Includes Plugged/Mined Through) | No Violations Noted | Remarks: Inspection of the Warrant 3739 (035-00025) well in Clinton Co. conducted August 10, 2016 at approximately 10:30 am. The well has no known operator, and currently holds a “DEP Plugged” status. I measured to casing to be 8 5/8” OD. The casing is pitted, corroded, and has a hole in the side. With no well record on file, I plan to check well records of nearby wells to see where 8 5/8” casing string is set to aid in plugging efforts. The well is artesian, flowing oily water to adjacent Cooks run. I detected no gas with an Altair 5x multigas meter. This all could indicate gas bearing zones are isolated and theres possible cracked/damaged/corroded casing through freshwater bearing zone. The Department is working on getting the well re-plugged possibly in near future. |
| 2516974 | Primary Facility | 2016-09-02 | Plugging(Includes Plugged/Mined Through) | No Violations Noted | On September 2, 2016 at about 12:00 pm I went out to the Warrant 3739 well to conduct a routine inspection. I removed the rocks in the of the 8 5/8” casing hoping to make room to run my tag in to tag a plug. No success; the casing was filled with oily rocks as far as I could reach. I had an 8” plastic bucket in my truck that I was able to place inside the casing across the hole. It was able to reduce the flow. I cut a hole in the bucket to allow water/oil to flow in the bucket, and still let some water flow by.
I returned to the site on September 6, 2016 at 12:00 pm after the long weekend to see how Friday’s modifications held up. The area seemed to have dried up a bit, still flowing water but less oil maybe. I took a look in the casing at the bucket and it was filled with oil, as planned. The second boom looked like it needed some attention. |

| 2527184 | Primary Facility | 2016-10-07 | Routine/Complete Inspection | No Violations Noted | On October 7th 2016 I went out to the Warrant 3739 well along with DEP geologist Bill Kosmer to do temporary repairs on the damaged top joint of 8 5/8” csg. The casing has a large hole in the side above ground level from where the artesian well is flowing water with some oil. The 8” bucket w/hole I placed inside the well last month appeared to be effectively capturing some of the oil and letting water flow through the hole in the casing. The water level inside the casing (inside the bucket) is now above the hole. At the time of today’s inspection; we took an approximate 13” x 18” piece of rubber and patched it across the hole. We secured the patch with several 10” hose clamps. It was difficult to get a good seal because of the pitting in the casing and not being able to clamp the rubber patch vertically. Still, the patch reduced the flow significantly. Of the three booms placed for oil control; The first boom was damaged, the second boom was gone, and the third was in decent shape. I returned on October 11th |

| 2559461 | Primary Facility | 2017-01-27 | Routine/Complete Inspection | No Violations Noted | On January 27, 2017 at approximately 1:00 pm I conducted a routine inspection of the Warrant 3739 (035-00025) orphan well in East Keating Twp, Clinton County, in Sproul State Forest. No major changes to the well’s status were noted since my last routine inspection report in October. The rubber patch/hose clamp we put on the 8 5/8” casing in October is now beginning to fail due to several large holes, corroded clamps, and parts of the rubber patch that appeared to be melted from the flow from this well. The well is now flowing to the pre-patch state of about 3-5 gal/min. The 8” bucket w/small hole I placed inside the casing in the fall was still doing a good job at separating some of the oil as you could see the oil was collecting in the top of the casing. There still was still some oil surrounding the well. Also note a large pine tree has fallen next to the well in the fall, not noted on previous inspection reports. |

| 2719307 | Primary Facility | 2018-04-17 | Plugging(Includes Plugged/Mined Through) | No Violations Noted | Met on location with Don Cornell to try to run the department downhole camera in the well. The well bore is filled with rocks and the camera run was unsuccessful. |
| 2737623 | Primary Facility | 2018-06-04 | Routine/Complete Inspection | No Violations Noted | A routine (pre-plugging) inspection of an orphan well on the DEP plugging list was conducted June 4, 2018. At the time of inspection; water with a sheen is discharging from a hole in 8 5/8" casing. No obvious changes were noted since last inspection. A contract has been developed to plug the well this summer. A bridge on Cooks Run road is out and I accessed the location from Crowley road. Plugging operations are scheduled to take place once the bridge is constructed and the location is accessible from Cooks Run road. |
| 2757002 | Primary Facility | 2018-07-26 | Routine/Complete Inspection | No Violations Noted | Routine inspection of an orphan well conducted July 26, 2018. Hydrocarbon Well Services are expected to move in this week to plug the well under state contract OOGM 17-2(R). At the time of inspection; no personnel or equipment was onsite.

| 2759670 | Primary Facility | 2018-08-02 | Routine/Complete Inspection | No Violations Noted | A routine (plugging) inspection of an orphan well being plugged under state contract OOGM 17-1(R) was conducted August 2, 2018. Hydrocarbon Well Services are rigged up on location with a service rig for final plug and abandonment. At the time of inspection, a small cellar has been built around 8 5/8" casing. The casing has been cut near surface below the hole where the well was previously discharging, and at this point a new collar has been installed along with crossover and wellhead. The flow from the casing is controlled at valves which were shut in at the time of inspection. The cellar was full of water; no bubbling or flow was observed in the 8 5/8" casing annulus. I spoke with the rig crew. We discussed the history of the well, possible wellbore dimensions, the tentative procedure, anticipated issues, and contingency plans if encountered. No downhole work on the well has been conducted at this time. No obvious major issues were observed at the time of inspection. |
| 2760712 | Primary Facility | 2018-08-06 | Routine/Complete Inspection | No Violations Noted | A routine (plugging) inspection of an orphan well being plugged under state contract OOGM 17-1(R) was conducted August 6, 2018. Hydrocarbon Well Services are rigged up on location with a service rig for final plug and abandonment. At the time of inspection, I met with the rig crew and discussed operations on the pad. 8 5/8" casing was cleaned up to 815' where a wooden plug was encountered; likely 8 5/8" casing shoe depth. They switched to 6 1/4" bit for open hole section. Approximately 9' of wooden plug was drilled. The hole was cleaned to 2027' where an obstruction was encountered, thought to be a competent plug where it was expected at this depth. Workstring is in the hole, shut in at line from pump. The wellbore is open where it is lined out to an open-top container for returns. The well is no longer flowing. I placed my hand over the mouth of the hose from the well to the tank. The well is static; no vacuum or pressure felt. No gas was detected from the wellbore, checked in the hose from the well to the |
