On 3/8/16 at 1445, Operator representative Shane Kriebel reported a >5 gallon release of brine with trace oil to SWRO representative Martha Michalek. Per Mr. Kriebel, there was a 100 bbl plastic brine tank failure at the well site. The exact volume of the release is unknown at this time. The release is reported to have occurred and/or been discovered on 3/8/16 at 1230. |
| 2464777 | Primary Facility | 2016-03-08 | Administrative/File Review | In Compliance with Policy | Admin inspt conducted as follow-up to inspection 2464737 for the reported release of brine and oil.Upon receipt of incident report, Dept called Opr rep Shane Kriebel via phone at 1507 and 1509 and left messages.Mr. Kriebel returned Dept’s phone calls at 1513.According to Mr. K, a brine tank failure resulted in a release of 5-10 bbl of brine water with some trace oil. The amount of oil is unable to be quantified. The release is believed to have resulted from a slit and/or hole in the bottom of the brine tank, but it is currently unknown what caused this failure to occur. Mr. Kriebel stated that the well-tender was on-site when the tank started to leak.Per Mr. K, the brine tank completely emptied and is therefore no longer leaking.The fluids are contained with booms and absorbent pads were utilized to soak up the trace amounts of oil.Excavation of the contaminated materials is scheduled to begin as soon as possible.

In response to inspection record 2464777, the Department electronically provided the following documents to Operator representative Shane Kriebel via Heather Lander: Department’s Spill Policy for Addressing Spills and Releases at Oil and Gas Well Sites or Access Roads (Document number: 800-5000-001) October 3, 2014 Program Clarification Memo for Common Constituents for Oil and Gas Related Spills and Releases These documents are also being included with this inspection report. |
| 2465416 | Primary Facility | 2016-03-09 | Incident- Response to Accident or Event | Violation(s) Noted | On-site inspection conducted in response to admin inspection ID 2464737 for the reported release of brine water and crude oil. Per Mr. McDaniels, a release of 13 bbl brine water and 1 bbl crude oil occurred as a result of the plastic brine tank catching fire at 1145 on 3/8/16. Mr. McDaniels stated that the release was contained to the well site and believes most of the fluids were burned off.
Mr. McDaniels stated that while the well-tender was blowing the well, the tank caught fire and exploded, and the lid landed approximately 50 feet off of the well site. No injuries were reported. At this time, the Operator is unsure as to what exactly caused the brine tank to ignite.Violations are being issued for this release of residual fluids reported by the Operator. Additional violations may be forthcoming upon further review and investigation.

At 1307, the Department contacted Kriebel Field Supervisor Steve McDaniels via phone. Per Mr. McDaniels, additional excavation was performed yesterday (3/9) utilizing a conductivity probe as guidance. The depth of the excavation is approximately 2.5 feet deep. According to Mr. McDaniels, the contractor tested the entire site, including the singed/charred areas on the hillsides, with a conductivity probe. No readings indicative of brine were detected. Additional testing and possible excavation, if necessary, is scheduled for Monday (3/14) in order to ensure all contaminants have been removed. Mr. McDaniels stated that no hydrocarbons were detected during yesterday’s assessment, only salts. Violations remain outstanding under inspection ID 2465416 (enf ID 340845).
