| 1320857520 | 2011-11-08 | Preliminary Restoration | No Violations | -On site at Kelch well # 1 (6-0044) for the top plug. Earlier in the day, Bob & Aaron Huwer of Huwer Well Drilling had pumped out oil and fluids in the well. Bottom plug of 300 feet of Class A cement set on 11/7/11. Once well pumped, operator filled the hole with water as a spacer down to 450 feet below the surface. Huwer began pulling the 6 5/8ths surface casing. 15 joints recovered at somewhere over 300 feet (approx. 320 feet). Operator then contacted St. Henry Tile Co., Inc. and ordered 6 cubic yards of 9 sack grout. Grout was sent down the outside of the tubing but inside the conductor pipe with water and fluids circulating up the tubing to the tank truck. Grout circulated to the surface. Huwer to let the grout settle before cutting the conductor pipe 30 below the surface, attaching the ODNR labeled cap, and covering over the hole. 100 bbl tank to be removed. Rain on 11/9/11 canceled final restoration activity at the site until the week of 11/13/11. |
