| I was contacted by Joe Wade of Enervest (330-542-1705) informing me that they have a hole in the liner of their working pit for this well. They have seen a bubble forming on the backside of the pit and it appeared it was a large quantity of rain water. When the water was sampled it was discovered to be brine. They pumped all the brine from the backside of the liner to an additional pit and began pumping the entire pit dry. Once the brine and water on the backside of the pit was pumped out and the brine in the liner was pumped out into frac tanks, the liner was pulled back and out of the pit. An excavator then scraped out all of the excess brine and contaminated soil from the pit and put into the reserve pit. Once all the brine and contaminated soil was removed the pit was re-lined and the pits refilled. Once this is done the rig will begin drilling again. There are no violations at this time.

| I was on location with District Supervisor Rick Anderson to check the status of the cleanup for the brine spill that was discovered 9/10/2014. There was a rainfall event the night of 09/09/2014 that added water to the surface of the location and leached brine from the contaminated soils.  There were several puddles of water located near the rig floor and mud pumps that had elevated chloride levels ranging from 1100ppm to 3000ppm. A vacuum truck was brought onto location to vacuum all free water and brine on location. Impacted soil was also scraped up from the areas of the high chloride puddles and disposed of into the pits. While inspecting the base of the rig substructure the mouse hole and rat hole sleeves were being loaded into tubs for transport, the location of the mouse and rat holes were identified by a Pep Drilling hand. It was noted that the mouse and rat holes were not properly sealed around the steel sleeves used to house the kelly and the drill string.

| I was on location to witness the cementing of the 5.5 diameter vertical production casing of this well. A cement port collar was installed in the casing at 4412' and 2 3/8 diameter tubing was stabbed into the port collar. Universal pumped 485sks of Unifill Light cement and 100sks of 50/50 2% gel, 10% salt tail cement. The cement was displaced with 15.2bbls of freshwater. A reverse circulation of 100bbls of brine and 10bbls of fresh water were used to remove any residual cement in the casing after the cement port collar was closed shut. The frac stack will be installed and the well prepared for stimulation.  A track hoe was on location solidifying the reserve pit at the time of the cement job. The pit was properly solidified and had no free liquid and was in a firm solid state. The working pits are going to be closed and solidified tomorrow. There are no violations at this time.

At this time the brine spill has been completely remediated and water tested on location does not have any elevated chloride levels. The mouse and rat holes for the rig have been plugged with quikrete cement and are no longer open. Pit solidification will begin tomorrow and the tapered 4.5/5.5 diameter production string will be cemented tomorrow using a Chipco service rig and Universal Cementing. At this time both compliance notices have been addressed and are closed. There are no violations at this time.

| I was on location to follow up to complaint #4843. Complainant stated that as he was traveling on Route 62 by the exit that takes you to Louisville, he smelled a very strong odor of gas.  He stated that there had been drilling equipment there and that he thought that may be causing the odor.  He said he has smelled this for the past week and wanted to call to make sure someone looked into this. I was on the side of Route 62 and smelled a noticeable amount of natural gas. A citizen was on the side of the road pulled over and stated he called 911. I contacted the Nimishillen Fire Dept and they were on their way to the location. I called Mike Burkhart and Joe Wade of Enervest who were also on their way to the location. There was no flow line or gas leak found near the side area of Route 62. Myself, Nimishillen Fire Dept and Enervest entered the Ramsey location and noticed that the wind was blowing south toward Route 62 from the open top oil tank that the well was flowing back into. A Honeywell PHD6 gas meter was used to check gas levels near the road and the location and no elevated levels were found. It was found that the wind was blowing south across the open top tank and the gas smell was concentrating near the side of Route 62. Because no elevated gas levels were found by the Nimishillen Fire Dept it was deemed there was not a safety hazard from the gas smell and when the winds shift the smell will no longer concentrate on the roadside. I will check back tomorrow to follow up and ensure the gas smell is not present.

| I was on location to check the status of determining whether or not downhole valves are leaking on the tubing string. A wireline truck utilizing pressure and temperature gauges has been checking 50' before, on the valves, and 50' after each valve present in the string. The gauges gather the information downhole and cannot be analyzed until it is pulled from the well. The well is producing during the measuring and testing of the well. The testing will continue into tomorrow.

| I was on location to check the status of getting the gas lift production system for this well installed and operational. Gas is being pumped down the well but not fluid is coming back to surface. Several adjustments were made but unsuccessful at getting the well to lift fluid. There has been trouble getting pressures to properly regulate on the system. It is believed that the cold temperatures are causing a pop off to prematurely go off at a lower then desired pressure. This is not allowing downhole pressure to build to lift the fluid present in the well. The fluid level in the well has been shot to measure its depth over several days and has not changed. Work will occur over the weekend to try to get it operational.

I walked the location and new erosion controls have been installed following heavy rains seen last week. The pits are in good condition and there are no issues with the liners. The reserve pit is currently being drawn down by Mac Oil water trucks to handle any possible water encountered in the Oriskany Sandstone. They will drill on air until they reach their mud up point and load the hole with saturated brine. There are no violations at this time.

| I was on location with District Supervisor Rick Anderson to follow up to complaint #4943, in which the complainant stated that exhaust from compressors installed at the well site are causing odor issues at the complainant's residence. On location for the inspection were Carl Safreed with the Stark County Health Dept. and Tim McConaha and Charlie Youngen of Enervest. An evaluation of the location determined that a vent stack coming from the dehydrator used to remove moisture from the natural gas stream was the source of the odor. The compressors at the well site are equipped with hospital grade mufflers and are not the source of the emission odor. A charcoal filter was installed on the vent on the dehydrator, adsorbing the emission odors. Enervest has been advised to check and replace the charcoal filter regularly to prevent odor breakthrough. The odor source has been eliminated at this time and the complaint can now be closed.

1100295942 2014-08-20 I was on location to check the status of Pep Drilling rigging up on location. Currently the rig is set and the pits have been dug into good soil and are being lined. The Pason drilling computer is being rigged up and the mouse and rat holes are going to be drilled. They plan on spudding the well tonight. Compliance Notice
1100295942 2014-08-20 I was on location to check the status of Pep Drilling rigging up on location. Currently the rig is set and the pits have been dug into good soil and are being lined. The Pason drilling computer is being rigged up and the mouse and rat holes are going to be drilled. They plan on spudding the well tonight. Compliance Notice
-1292326897 2014-08-21 I was on location to check the status of Pep drilling. The rig is currently drilling an 14.75 diameter hole on fresh water mud at 308'. They are going to drill to 490' before installing and cementing their 11.75 diameter surface casing. They expect to be cementing this casing tonight/early morning. There are no violations at this time.
1389495559 2014-09-09 I was on location to check the status of Pep drilling the 6.75 diameter lateral for this well. The rig was drilling at 7320' and has approximately 80' more to go. A load of new 17 lb/ft P-110 5.5 OD production casing was being delivered at the time of inspection. They expect to TD the well and begin running casing in the early morning.
1409769701 2014-09-03 The Pep drilling rig is currently shut down due to the failure of their mud pumps. Drilling has been suspended for 7 hours and the pumps are currently brought back on line. They are in the hole at 5775' and circulating the hole while the pumps are partially functioning. There are no violations at this time.
1409924869 2014-09-04 I was contacted by Joe Wade of Enervest (330-542-1705) informing me that they have a hole in the liner of their working pit for this well. They have seen a bubble forming on the backside of the pit and it appeared it was a large quantity of rain water. When the water was sampled it was discovered to be brine. They pumped all the brine from the backside of the liner to an additional pit and began pumping the entire pit dry. Once the brine and water on the backside of the pit was pumped out and the brine in the liner was pumped out into frac tanks, the liner was pulled back and out of the pit. An excavator then scraped out all of the excess brine and contaminated soil from the pit and put into the reserve pit. Once all the brine and contaminated soil was removed the pit was re-lined and the pits refilled. Once this is done the rig will begin drilling again. There are no violations at this time.
1410383511 2014-09-10 I was on location with Regional Supervisor Tom Hill to collect drilling fluid samples from the frac tanks and reserve pits for analysis at the Cambridge Laboratory. At the time of the inspection, Pep Drilling was installing the tapered production string with 5.5
1410870975 2014-09-11 I was on location with District Supervisor Rick Anderson to check the status of the cleanup for the brine spill that was discovered 9/10/2014. There was a rainfall event the night of 09/09/2014 that added water to the surface of the location and leached brine from the contaminated soils. There were several puddles of water located near the rig floor and mud pumps that had elevated chloride levels ranging from 1100ppm to 3000ppm. A vacuum truck was brought onto location to vacuum all free water and brine on location. Impacted soil was also scraped up from the areas of the high chloride puddles and disposed of into the pits. While inspecting the base of the rig substructure the mouse hole and rat hole sleeves were being loaded into tubs for transport, the location of the mouse and rat holes were identified by a Pep Drilling hand. It was noted that the mouse and rat holes were not properly sealed around the steel sleeves used to house the kelly and the drill string. Section 1501:9-1-08 (G) of the Ohio Administrative Code (OAC) states
1410982291 2014-09-16 I was on location to witness the cementing of the 5.5 diameter vertical production casing of this well. A cement port collar was installed in the casing at 4412' and 2 3/8 diameter tubing was stabbed into the port collar. Universal pumped 485sks of Unifill Light cement and 100sks of 50/50 2% gel, 10% salt tail cement. The cement was displaced with 15.2bbls of freshwater. A reverse circulation of 100bbls of brine and 10bbls of fresh water were used to remove any residual cement in the casing after the cement port collar was closed shut. The frac stack will be installed and the well prepared for stimulation. A track hoe was on location solidifying the reserve pit at the time of the cement job. The pit was properly solidified and had no free liquid and was in a firm solid state. The working pits are going to be closed and solidified tomorrow. There are no violations at this time.
1411496752 2014-09-15 I was on location to follow up to compliance notices issued in inspection #1410383511 and #1410870975. At this time the brine spill has been completely remediated and water tested on location does not have any elevated chloride levels. The mouse and rat holes for the rig have been plugged with quikrete cement and are no longer open. Pit solidification will begin tomorrow and the tapered 4.5/5.5 diameter production string will be cemented tomorrow using a Chipco service rig and Universal Cementing. At this time both compliance notices have been addressed and are closed. There are no violations at this time.
1412190884 2014-10-01 I was on location to check the status of preparing the location for the hydraulic fracturing. Currently Universal well services is being spotted on location and preparing to frac the well. The frac job will begin in the morning on 10/2/2014. There are no violations at this time.
1428524713 2015-04-08 I was on location to check the status of installing a new Dansco pumpjack. The pumpjack has been installed and the electric motor is being wired and set on the pumpjack. Enervest expects the well to be in production later today.
145968030 2015-02-02 The newly installed gas lift system for the well has been installed and is now operational. The compressors are running and pumping gas downhole, bringing oil to surface. The system will be monitored for several days to ensure smooth operation and determine if any changes to the system are needed.
-1576444758 2015-03-31 I was on location to check the status of pulling the 2.375 diameter tubing and 1 diameter steel tubing from the well. A Chipco LLC service rig is on location with a blow out preventer installed. The tubing is nearly out of the well. There were several spots where the tubing got tight and a total of 70k pounds were pulled on the tubing. The tubing will be removed from the well and steam cleaned on location with containment later today.
1604024874 2014-08-26 I was on location to check the status of Pep drilling. Currently the rig is drilling at 3398' in the Helderberg formation. When drilling through the Oriskany they encountered water flow and had to begin soaping the well. The air hammer failed and they tripped into the hole with a trichone bit and are currently drilling with it. The pits have been sucked down and are in good condition. There are no violations at this time.
-1606865077 2014-10-23 I was on location to follow up to complaint #4843. Complainant stated that as he was traveling on Route 62 by the exit that takes you to Louisville, he smelled a very strong odor of gas. He stated that there had been drilling equipment there and that he thought that may be causing the odor. He said he has smelled this for the past week and wanted to call to make sure someone looked into this. I was on the side of Route 62 and smelled a noticeable amount of natural gas. A citizen was on the side of the road pulled over and stated he called 911. I contacted the Nimishillen Fire Dept and they were on their way to the location. I called Mike Burkhart and Joe Wade of Enervest who were also on their way to the location. There was no flow line or gas leak found near the side area of Route 62. Myself, Nimishillen Fire Dept and Enervest entered the Ramsey location and noticed that the wind was blowing south toward Route 62 from the open top oil tank that the well was flowing back into. A Honeywell PHD6 gas meter was used to check gas levels near the road and the location and no elevated levels were found. It was found that the wind was blowing south across the open top tank and the gas smell was concentrating near the side of Route 62. Because no elevated gas levels were found by the Nimishillen Fire Dept it was deemed there was not a safety hazard from the gas smell and when the winds shift the smell will no longer concentrate on the roadside. I will check back tomorrow to follow up and ensure the gas smell is not present.
-184338032 2015-03-02 I was on location to check the status of determining whether or not downhole valves are leaking on the tubing string. A wireline truck utilizing pressure and temperature gauges has been checking 50' before, on the valves, and 50' after each valve present in the string. The gauges gather the information downhole and cannot be analyzed until it is pulled from the well. The well is producing during the measuring and testing of the well. The testing will continue into tomorrow.
1845796851 2015-01-29 I was on location to check the status of getting the gas lift production system for this well installed and operational. Gas is being pumped down the well but not fluid is coming back to surface. Several adjustments were made but unsuccessful at getting the well to lift fluid. There has been trouble getting pressures to properly regulate on the system. It is believed that the cold temperatures are causing a pop off to prematurely go off at a lower then desired pressure. This is not allowing downhole pressure to build to lift the fluid present in the well. The fluid level in the well has been shot to measure its depth over several days and has not changed. Work will occur over the weekend to try to get it operational.
1955208059 2014-08-18 I was on location to check the status of Pep Drilling rigging up on location. The rig floor has been set over the hole and the derrick is currently having some maintenance done on the pulleys and guidelines. The watertight cellar and PVC flow line has been set on location and will flow to the pits when they are dug. Currently the pits are being excavated but will not be completed until 8/19/14. They expect to spud the well 8/20/14 morning.
2069481669 2014-10-08 I was on location to perform an inspection on this well in regards to complaint #4822 for a water well investigation. The well is currently being prepped to perform the flow back because this well was recently hydraulically fractured, there were no issues during the frac job. The wellhead has good mechanical integrity and appears to have no mechanical issues at this time. There are no violations at this time.
2142386426 2015-01-28 I was on location to check the status of getting the gas lift production system for this well installed and operational. The wellhead and production equipment has been installed and set. The compressors are operational and working. Gas is being pumped down the well but no fluid is coming back to surface. Several adjustments were made but unsuccessful at getting the well to lift fluid. Engineers will be on location tomorrow to attempt to troubleshoot the systems.
235462072 2014-08-25 I was on location to check the status of Pep Drilling this well. Currently the rig is drilling ahead at 2561' with a 7.865 hammer bit. I walked the location and new erosion controls have been installed following heavy rains seen last week. The pits are in good condition and there are no issues with the liners. The reserve pit is currently being drawn down by Mac Oil water trucks to handle any possible water encountered in the Oriskany Sandstone. They will drill on air until they reach their mud up point and load the hole with saturated brine. There are no violations at this time.
-249970759 2015-02-23 I was on location with District Supervisor Rick Anderson to follow up to complaint #4943, in which the complainant stated that exhaust from compressors installed at the well site are causing odor issues at the complainant's residence. On location for the inspection were Carl Safreed with the Stark County Health Dept. and Tim McConaha and Charlie Youngen of Enervest. An evaluation of the location determined that a vent stack coming from the dehydrator used to remove moisture from the natural gas stream was the source of the odor. The compressors at the well site are equipped with hospital grade mufflers and are not the source of the emission odor. A charcoal filter was installed on the vent on the dehydrator, adsorbing the emission odors. Enervest has been advised to check and replace the charcoal filter regularly to prevent odor breakthrough. The odor source has been eliminated at this time and the complaint can now be closed.
307074605 2014-11-04 I was on location to check the status of installing rods and tubing into the well to prepare for production. Currently the Chipco LLC service rig is running in the last of the rods for the well. The pipelines, electric and tank battery have all been installed. The pumpjack is in route and will be installed 11/6/14. There are no violations at this time.
428354601 2015-03-06 I was on location to check the status of the gas lift production system. Testing of valves present in the system did not show any signs of malfunction, although more analysis is being conducted. The well is currently producing and the newly installed vapor control measures are in place and functioning properly. There are no violations at this time.
461747592 2015-03-26 I was on location to check the status of the gas lift production system. A Chipco LLC service rig will be location 3/27/2015 to trip tubing out of the well in preparation to remove the gas lift production system. A Dansco pumpjack has been purchased and will be installed on the well for production. The compressor station will also be removed as it will be no longer needed for production of this well.
642429488 2014-10-24 I was on location to follow up to complaint #4843. Complainant stated that as he was traveling on Route 62 by the Rte 44 exit when he smelled a very strong odor of gas. He stated that there had been drilling equipment there and that he thought that may be causing the odor. He said he has smelled this for the past week and wanted to call to make sure someone looked into this. The smell is gone and no longer an issue. There are no elevated gas levels and the complaint can now be closed.
-698730813 2015-01-22 I was on location to check the status of setting the gas lift system for this well. A Chipco service rig was on location running tubing and stainless coiled tubing into the well. Compressors have been set and are being plumbed into the location. The system should be operational in approximately 5 days.
-713882460 2014-08-22 I was on location to witness the cementing of the 11.75 diameter surface casing. Pep Drilling drilled a 17.5 diameter hole to 40' and a 14.75 diameter hole to 525'. They installed 505' of casing with 4 centralizers and a guide shoe. Universal pumped 370sks of Class A 3%CaCl cement and displaced it with 57.8bbls of freshwater. 13bbls of good cement were returned to surface. The rig will wait on cement for 8 hours before drilling ahead. There are no violations at this time.
-827560317 2015-03-30 I was on location to check the status of pulling the 2.375 diameter tubing and 1 diameter steel tubing from the well. A Chipco LLC service rig is on location with a blow out preventer installed. The tubing is going to be pulled from the well and reset above the mud anchor. The well will have the pumpjack reinstalled and the gas lift system will be engaged when needed to improve production. There are no violations at this time.
-992895849 2015-04-15 I was on location to check the status of removal of the gas lift production system. The Dansco pumpjack is installed and operational. The compressor station has been removed from the location. A modified gas lift system will be installed later in the year. The compressor station will be placed back by the wellhead. There are no violations at this time.
