2541765	Primary Facility	2016-12-05	Plugging(Includes Plugged/Mined Through)	No Violations Noted	Pre plugging inspection of Range’s Hess 1H in Morris Twp. conducted December 5, 2016 at 10 am. At the time of inspection; Range on location. The 1H stands alone on the well pad, production tree in place. The cellar was filled with gravel. There was a vent pipe for the backside of the 5 ½” (x 9 5/8”) annulus. Well records show the production casing is cemented to surface but I wanted to verify there is no gas/pressure in the annulus through channel or microannulus that would need to be addressed in the proposed plugging procedure. The vent pipe was rigged up to a poly tank with a ½” needle valve in line, isolation ball valve between the two. The needle valve was open but looked packed with gravel; opened ball valve to poly tank, no pressure, removed needle valve, threaded ½” pipe nipple with pex fitting and hose rigged up directly to my Altair 5x gas meter, closed valve to poly tank. No gas in any amount was detected. I gave operator OK to plug the well as planned, adding vent pipe to procedure referencing 7
2543921	Primary Facility	2016-12-09	Plugging(Includes Plugged/Mined Through)	No Violations Noted	Inspection of Range’s Hess 1H in Morris Twp. conducted December 9, 2016 at 12 pm. Plugging operations have commenced. Range on location, I met with Kyle Thomas to discuss procedure. ~4700 PSI on the prod. csg. Wireline was rigged up on the well, running in hole w/ gauge ring to 8505’ to make sure they’ll be able to set that bottom CIBP at that depth. They’ll set a CIBP in the 5 ½” production csg. at 8505’ and another CIBP at 8495’, cap that one w/ 15’ of cement with a dump bailer. They’ll WOC, run in hole and tag and plug back w/cement from that point to surface (single column of cement) pumped as multiple stages obviously. They’ll install a vent (coal well) after the job as per the regulations and our discussion the other day. No Issues.
2545930	Primary Facility	2016-12-13	Plugging(Includes Plugged/Mined Through)	No Violations Noted	Inspection of Range’s Hess 1H in Morris Twp. conducted December 13, 2016 at 12 pm. A rig is on location for plugging ops. I met with Companyman to discuss operations. Both CIBPs set in the 5 ½” csg, #1) @ 8505’ and #2) @ 8495’, 15’ of cement dump bailed on top. The well is dead. The rig is triping in hole where they’ll plug back from bottom. Cementers in route. They’ll set approx. 4 (1000’) plugs today and the rest tomorrow (cement from CIBP to surface inside the 4 ½”). No issues.
2547692	Primary Facility	2016-12-20	Plugging(Includes Plugged/Mined Through)	Violation(s) Noted	Inspection of Range’s Hess 1H in Morris Twp. Clearfield County conducted December 20, 2016 at 1:00 pm. The rig has rigged down and pulled off the pad following last week’s plugging operations. At the time of inspection; the well was capped with night cap bolted on (5 1/2”) production casing spool. There was a ½” needle valve on the cap, shut-in. I opened the valve, no pressure, and tied in with a ½” pex fitting with hose connected to an Altair 5x gas meter. The meter showed 4% LEL at first then dissipated in a few seconds to no gas detected. I put a balloon on a ½” pipe nipple and threaded into the needle valve to verify no measurable flow. The balloon did not inflate. There was a 2” vent pipe for the backside of production casing (9 5/8” x 5 ½”) production casing plumbed to surface. The vent was open to a small poly tank with and had a ½” ball valve in line. I opened the ½” ball valve and heard gas even as the 2” line was open to the poly tank. I shut in the ½” ball valve in line and the 2” ball valve to th
2549667	Primary Facility	2017-01-04	Plugging(Includes Plugged/Mined Through)	Outstanding Violations - Viols Req'd	Inspection of Range’s Hess 1H in Morris Twp. Clearfield County conducted January 4, 2017 at approximately 10 am. I met with Kyle Thomas from Range on the pad for a follow-up inspection in regards to pressure on the 5 ½” csg’s annulus. When I pulled on location he had the annulus shut-in to a digital crystal gauge, reading ~200 PSI after being shut-in for approximately 15 minutes reportedly. Pressure was still increasing at 20 minutes to ~245 PSI and it was decided to bleed off pressure to vent tank to avoid overpressure on the 9 5/8” shoe. I tied a ½” pex fitting with hose connected to an Altair 5x gas meter; 100% methane detected. We discussed possible migration pathway to surface, uncertain at the moment. I advised for Range to take a gas sample of the annulus for analysis to help aid in finding the source of the gas. Two more personnel from Range showed up and took some photos of the well. The operator is likely to commence remedial operations in the spring as requested when the weather is more cooperativ

Clearfield County conducted January 26, 2017 at approximately 10 am. Range on location with third party vac truck and crew pulling containment. Range employee on site said they checked pressure yesterday, it built to ~290PSI in 15-20 minutes. I put my gauge on the vent and saw it increase 0-80PSI in about 3 minutes. This indicates there were no significant changes at the well noted since my last inspection 1/4/17 with regard to pressure on the backside of the production casing after plugging attempt. See previous inspections for more detailed account of this problem. Violations Outstanding, 78.91 Plugging.
