All well cellars were filled with gravel. There were two open annular vents at each well. The 13-3/8” x 9-5/8” was vented with a 1” pipe. The 9-5/8” x 5-1/2” annulus was vented with a 2” pipe. The annuli were monitored with an Altair 5X gas meter calibrated on 12/28/15.
2543935	Primary Facility	2016-12-08	Routine/Complete Inspection	No Violations Noted	Routine Inspection; 12/8/2016. I entered the location at 10:06 and began the inspection. At the time of the inspection, the Bower Unit 1H (081-20149, 2H (081-20361), 3H (081- 20362), 4H (081-20456), and 6H (081-20356) wells were in production. The well pad area was well vegetated and can be considered permanently stabilized. The well site has not been restored and the Well Site Compliance Information Request reply (submitted 9/21/2015) says the pad was reclaimed and the Notice of Termination was to be submitted in September of 2015. The well pad remains at its original size and the site currently does not conform to the permitted restoration plan. The original E&S permit has been expired since 10/16/2014. The Department considers a well site to be restored under Section 3216(c) of the 2012 Oil and Gas Act when the oil or gas owners or operators meet the following: 1. All permanent post construction stormwater control features as identified in the Post Construction Stormwater Management/Site Restoratio
2694613	Primary Facility	2018-02-14	Routine/Complete Inspection	No Violations Noted	Weather was 30° and cloudy at time of inspection. Well had a digital pressure gauge attached above the swab valve for the tubing and attached to the 5 1/2 casing valve. Pressure on the tubing was 217 psi and the 5 1/2 casing pressure was 322 psi at time of inspection. There were three annulus vents plumbed to surface. The 5 1/2 x 9 5/8 annulus vent was plumbed across location to the produced water tanks. The 9 5/8 x 13 3/8 and 13 3/8 x 20 annulus vents were open and 0% combustible gas was detected at time of inspection. No violations were noted at time of inspection.
2833642	Primary Facility	2019-01-28	Routine/Complete Inspection	No Violations Noted	On January 28, 2019, Department representative Brad Kline conducted a routine site inspection at EXCO Resources, LLC. Bower Pad 1H. Site inspection log was onsite for review. No E&S issues were observed during the time of inspection. The site is stable and well vegetated meeting the 70% uniform, perennial, vegetative cover. There are a total of 5 producing wells located on this well pad. All wells are tagged with API/well permit numbers. Well cellars are filled in with gravel. There are 5 GPU’s and 4 steel vertical production fluids tanks onsite. Production fluid tanks were stationed in secondary containment. No violations noted. The Department recommends submitting a Notice of Termination and a Well Site Restoration Report when the criteria is met.
