2745058 | Primary Facility | 2018-06-21 | Incident- Response to Accident or Event | No Violations Noted | The well is a conventional stripper well producing gas and small amounts of brine with little to no oil. It is located on Game Commision property and is difficult to access. The GPS of the well location is accurate but it took a while to find a way in to the well. You have to go to a Game Commision gate (normally closed to the public and locked) and follow the road approx. 0.9 - 1.0 miles back to the well (marked with orange tape on both side of the road and on the right as driving in). The access gate is located at N 40.83150 W 78.87024. It should be open until Mr. Shumaker is done with his repairs and/or the crew working in the woods is finished.
The 4 1/2" well head, which was attached to a production line was sheared off of the casing when a construction crew drove over it with a blade being used to clear small trees and brush. The crew was also spraying an herbicide designed to kill the undergrowth. The herbicide appears to be an emulsion of water, diesel and herbicide. If you look closely in the pictu |
