2150290 Primary Facility 2013-03-21 Routine/Partial Inspection No Violations Noted An inspection of the Button B 901 pad in West Branch Township, Potter County was conducted on March 21, 2013. There are six drill permits associated with this site. The 3H, 4H and 5H wells are on active status, the 2H well has been reported not drilled by the operator and the 1H and 6H wells have been placed on Regulatory Inactive Status. The pad was partially snow covered at the time of this inspection. No puddles exhibiting elevated conductivity or erosion issues were observed at this time. No violations were cited during this inspection.
2211910 Primary Facility 2013-10-10 Routine/Partial Inspection No Violations Noted On October 10, 2013 an inspection was conducted at the Button B 901 pad in West Branch Township, Potter County. The last inspection conducted on behalf of the operator was on 10/8/13. The site is stabilized and no erosion issues were noted. Several puddles were screened and none exhibited elevated conductance. No violations were cited during this inspection.

2444049 Primary Facility 2016-01-26 Routine/Complete Inspection No Violations Noted Routine inspection. SWEPI acquired wells from Ultra Resources on 10/31/14. Four wells were drilled by Ultra (3H, 4H, 1H & 6H). Interim restoration not yet completed. SWEPI to submit a request in 2016 to extend the restoration requirements for the site. The site is permanently stabilized and the pad surface has been vegetated, except for the access road. Two water impoundments are at the site--the smaller impoundment was approximately 1/4 full and the larger impoundment was near capacity. Both impoundments were frozen over and snow covered. No violations cited. TLT

2623340 Primary Facility 2017-08-07 Site Restoration No Violations Noted On 8/7/17 at 1055 hrs I conducted an inspection of the Button 901 well site. SWEPI employee, Chris Citrino, arrived during the inspection. It was overcast with showers and 60 degrees F.

I observed the site (Photo #1) and reviewed the erosion and sediment (E&S) routine inspection log, the Notice of Termination (NOT) and the Well Site Restoration Report (WSRR).

The site consists of the well pad, compressor pad and two freshwater impoundments. Four wells, the 1H, 3H, 4H and 6H, have been drilled. According to DEP records, the 3H and 4H wells are in production; the 1H and 6H were placed on inactive status in 2012.

The compressor pad is located across Pigeon Hill Road from the well pad. Produced water is stored in a production tank, which is staged in secondary containment (Photo #4). A 55-gallon drum was observed in the production tank containment (Photo #5); it was labeled "pipeline water" and dated 10/17/16. Standing water in containment had a field measured specific conductance of 2,350 micro Siemens/cm; t

2658988 Primary Facility 2017-11-09 Routine/Complete Inspection No Violations Noted Routine inspection of the Button pad following the plug and abandonment of two uncompleted wells. The 1H and 6H were plugged, cut, capped and buried. No obvious issues were observed at the wells' surface locations. The 3H and 4H were in production at the time of inspection. I conducted a visual inspection of the wells. Both wells had a production tree in place with plunger lift, gauges on wing valves for production csg pressure, and backside of production casing vented. The cellars were full of gravel. No irregular pressures or obvious issues were observed.
2685674 Primary Facility 2018-01-22 Routine/Complete Inspection No Violations Noted At the time of this inspection this well was in production. The wellhead assembly all fittings and flow lines were tested for gas. Results of this testing was that gas was detected on the 9 5/8" x 5 1/2" vented annulus. No other gas was detected on the wellhead assembly or the well area.
2831281 Primary Facility 2019-01-24 Routine/Complete Inspection No Violations Noted At the time of this inspection this well in production. A digital gauge on the well head assembly was showing a pressure of 253 psi (pounds per square inch). The valve on the production/flow line was in the open position. A single annulus vent that is the intermediate x production was tested for combustible gas with the results being 100% LEL (lower explosion limit) and 37% METHNE. No other annulus vents are vented to surface at this well. No violations noted at this inspection.
