Well was being cemented at 8 gpm. This rate caused an overflow of oil based mud at the well head. This overflow was not immediately recognized. Multiple levels of containment were breeched and the mud made it to the surface of the pad. A small area of stone on top of felt lined material was contaminated with this material. Most of the mud had been removed at the time of inspection either by vac'ing or through absorbents. Crews continued to lay absorbent material on any spilled material that had not yet been removed. Absorbent material was then being removed for proper disposal. |

| 2826976 | Primary Facility | 2019-01-15 | Routine/Complete Inspection | No Violations Noted | On 1/15/19 at 1127 hrs., I conducted a routine inspection of Chevron Appalachia, LLC's Buterbaugh 8H well (API 063-36859) in Green Twp., Indiana Co. Snow cover prevented proper evaluation of site stabilization. The well pad appears to be restored and permanently stabilized. Three production fluid tanks are located within adequate secondary containment. Three wells are drilled and equipped for production. A site ID sign and permit box are posted at the site entrance. It is unclear as to whether or not well tags are affixed to any of the well heads as the perimeter fence to the well pad is locked. The Department requests that the operator provide either a combination or key to one of the locks to facilitate access to the site. This should be sent to the Department inspector listed on this report. There are no violations noted for this inspection. |
