<br /> 13. Describe Proposed or Completed Operation:Clearly state all pertinent details,including estimated starting date of any proposed work and approximate duration thereof.If
<br /> the proposal is to deepen directionally or recomplete horizontally,give subsurface locations and measured and true vertical depths of all pertinent markers and zones.Attach
<br /> the Bond under which the work will be perfonned or provide the Bond No.on file with BLMBIA.Required subsequent reports must be filed within 30 days following
<br /> completion of the involved operations.If the operation results in a multiple completion or recompletion in a new interval,a Form 31604 must be filed once testing has been
<br /> completed.Final Abandonment Notices must be filed only after all requirements,including reclamation,have been completed and the operator has determined that the site
<br /> is ready for final inspection.)
<br /> All depths referenced to GL.The BG-9(DS-5,2010-26-198-lC)well reached the end of its useful life and has been plugged and abandoned.Prior to
<br /> P&A,the previous cement plugback in the 4.5"casing between the depths of 1,662 and 1,818 feet was drilled out to the top of the cast iron bridge(CIBP)
<br /> plug at 1,818 feet.In addition to the 16 original B-Grove recompletion casing perforations,between 1,602.6 and 1,621.6 feet,the 4.5"casing was
<br /> perforated at depths of 1,798,610,and 400 feet.Each perforation interval consists of four 0.38"holes at 90 degree phasing and with 20.5"of penetration,
<br /> Two separate cement squeeze jobs were pumped to plug the well casing and surrounding wellbore from 1,818 to 1,482 feet,permanent cement retainers
<br /> set at 1,758 feet and 1,579 feet. The first cement squeeze plug consisted 55 sacks(12.1 bbis)of 14.5 lb/gal IntegraBond Perm G cement blend. Based
<br /> on the calculated 4.5-inch casing volume for the interval from 1,818(top of CIBP)to 1,758(cement retainer),approximately 10.2 bbis of cement was
<br /> pushed out the casing partings at 1,760.9,1,782.2,and 1,782.2 feet and perforations at 1,798 feet into the adjacent casing annulus and formation. The
<br /> second squeeze plug consisted of 97.6 sacks(21.5 bbis)of 14.5 lb/gal IntegraBond Perm G cement blend. Based on the calculated volume to fill the
<br /> space between 1,695 feet(top of Stage#1 cement)and the cement retainer(at 1,579 feet),approximately 18.2 bbis of cement was squeezed out into the
<br /> formation and B-Groove Aquifer through the B-Groove Aquifer casing perforations. An additional 38.6 sacks(8.5 bbis)of 14.5 lb/gal IntegraBond Perm G
<br /> cement blend was pumped in two balanced plug lifts from the calculated stage#2 cement top of 1,482 feet to 852 feet. The final cement stage consisting
<br /> of 14.4 bbis(63 sacks)of 13.4 lb/gal Portland Type 1/II LA cement was pumped from 852 feet to ground level using the balanced plug method.The area
<br /> around the well was dug out at surface and the casing was cut off 3 feet below GL.A steel cap with the well name was welded onto the 7.0"conductor
<br /> casing and buried. For additional information please see attached As-Built Plug and Abandonment diagram.
