1533045126 | 2018-07-31 | Salt Water Injection Well | No Violations | I was on location to assess compliance notice # -1415548345.

1546522017 | 2019-01-02 | Salt Water Injection Well | No Violations | I was on location to assess compliance notice # -1415548345. I found the injection was not operating at the time of my inspection. There was a facility operator on location. There were several inches of water throughout the steel diked tank battery. I observed old oil, numerous saturated absorbent pads, and leaf litter floating on the water. There appeared to be an additional oil spill resulting from a possible overflow from two (2) of the 210 bbl storage tanks. I noticed oil residue on the east-northeast sides of the two (2) storage tanks on the north end of the tank battery. All of the water and oil in the tank battery is contained to the dike. Upon further inspection, I found the seven (7) day chart in the meter box between the injection well and tank battery showed American Energy has been operating the injection well at approximately 1,700 psi throughout the week, which is over the allowable maximum pressure of 1,540 psi. Inspection of the Murphy switch shows it is set above the allowable maximum pressure. I questioned the facility operator on location. The facility operator stated:
He had just turned off the injection well when I pulled onto location. The injection well was operating over the allowable maximum pressure. He planned to begin pumping the water in the diked tank battery into the storage tanks. He was not sure if there was an additional spill from the storage tanks. I told the facility operator: American Energy is not allowed to operate over pressure. The Murphy switches are to be set no higher than the allowable maximum pressure. All of the water, oil, and saturated absorbent pads need to be cleaned up. After leaving the site, I received a call from Bob Barnett from American Energy. Mr. Barnett stated: The facility is receiving only 600 bbl of brine per day. Due to the light water, American Energy is unable to pump fluid down the injection well at the current allowable maximum pressure of 1,540 psi. The formation w |
1553019592 | 2019-03-19 | Salt Water Injection Well | No Violations | I was on location to assess Compliance Notice # -1415548345. I found the injection well not operating during my inspection. All of the saturated absorbent pads have been removed. All of the water in the diked tank battery has been removed. There is still small pool of oil in the southeast corner of the dike. The gravel in the dike is coated with oil. I spoke with Bob Barnett on location. Mr. Barnett stated they are still working on cleaning up the dike and plans to get more done as the weather improves. Follow-up inspection will continue. |
