B. The plugging portion of the Remediation and Plugging Work Plan included herein

(Section V) shall be incorporated as part of the plugging permit. This plan is developed based on best available information. Should field observations during plugging operations necessitate deviations from this plan, the Department and

Contractor shall cooperate to develop alternate plans in full compliance with all applicable rules and regulations.

C. All work performed under the Contract must be completed in accordance with the most current version of the Erosion and Sediment Control Field Manual.

D. Toilet facilities will be provided by the vendor but will not be a separate line item in the contract.

IV. WELL DESCRIPTION

Well detail:

The Office of Oil and Gas has no well record for the referenced well. The well has no casing above the surface. There is a possibility that 7” casing could be found sub surface. The well appears to have been drilled for oil production. Currently the well is leaking oil and salt water at the surface of the bore. The plugging procedure will be created using reference well 085-01666.

The well record shows TD @ 869’, oil shows @ 829’, coal shows @ 783’, and fresh water shows @ 76’. The record shows 8 ¼” casing to a depth of 190’ and 6 ⅝” casing to a depth of 820’. Cemented casing is unknown. There is a possibility you could encounter rods and tubing below surface. There are no tanks associated with this well plugging. The producing formation is the Cow Run. The Office of Oil and Gas will provide all required permits for this project, whether internal or other agencies. OOG will contact West Virginia 811 (“Miss Utility”) to have all known sub surface utilities located and marked.

Site-based considerations:

To access the well site, two bridges will need to be constructed. First stream crossing is Goose Creek, and second stream crossing is Fox Run. WVDEP has applied for, and received, approval from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers authorizing the construction of the Goose Creek stream crossing (See Appendix B), LRH-2020-0088-LKR-Goose Creek; however, the nationwide permit under which approval was granted (NWP No. 14) is expected to be modified, reissued, or revoked on March 18, 2022. WVDEP will seek re-approval at that time. The Fox Run crossing does not require specific authorizations under NWP.

The existing service road to the well site will need to be reconditioned, including removing trees, brush, and debris. A stone base, drainage ditches, and sediment controls will be installed where needed. The well site has trees and brush that will need to be cut and removed. The contaminated soil at the well site shall be excavated and hauled to the approved landfill. All contaminated soil that is removed from the well site shall be replaced with new soil. The estimated depth 24”. A conductor/cellar shall be installed in the well bore for well control. The well site is mostly flat with mature trees and underbrush.

NOTE: All trees, brush, and debris that are cut or trimmed from the service road or well site shall be hauled to offsite disposal. Once the well has been plugged, the bridges shall be removed. The well site and service road will be reclaimed to the specifications set forth by the Office of Oil and Gas.

V. REMEDIATION AND/OR PLUGGING WORK PLAN

Contract work may require site remediation of the well site prior to the commencement of plugging operations.

Project will commence, generally, as follows:

1. Pre-mobilization site remediation, if necessary,

2. Site preparation,

3. Connect rig to well,

4. Clean out well to total depth,

5. Set prescribed plugs and monument,

6. Reclaim site including removal of stream crossings, and

7. Submit invoice to DEP.

Proposed Work Plan:

1. Notify Project Coordinator (PC) within 24 hours of plugging commencement.

2. Move in and rig up to existing 24-inch conductor casing. The conductor casing currently extends 30 inches above ground level. (Conductor casing to be installed by the plugging contractor.)

3. Trip in hole (TIH) check total depth (TD) @ or below 630'. If TD cannot be reached begin cleaning out hole to approved depth/TD by PC.

4. Once TD has be reached and approved by PC, a bond log will be run inside any casing found to determine casing depth cement bonding location, free points, and casing cuts.

5. TIH to estimated TD @ 900’ or inspector approved depth with tubing and set 170’ cement bottom hole and coal seam plug from 900’ to 730’ TOH. Wait on concrete

(WOC), tap top of plug. Add cement if needed.

6. TIH spot 6% gel to 720’. Set 100’ cement elevation plug from 720’ to 620’ TOH WOC.

Tag plug and add cement if needed.

7. TIH spot 6% gel to 478’. Set 100’ cement plug for oil show from 478’ to 378’ TOH.

WOC, tag plug and add cement if needed.

8. TIH spot 6% gel to 128’. Set 128’ cement plug for surface/fresh water from 128’ to surface.

9. Rig down and install monument, reclaim site.

NOTE.. Any casing found in the well without cement in the annulus that cannot be retrieved must be perforated and cemented at all saltwater, freshwater, coal, gas, casing shoe and elevation points.
