SUMMARY AND BACKGROUND OF SUBJECT MATTER:
As a part of the Town of Erie and City of Lafayette inter-governmental agreement and the development of the Nine Mile corner, the Town has agreed to plug and abandon the Adam #1 well. The well is located at the southwest corner of Arapahoe Road and Highway 287 with the flow lines and gathering line extending east across Highway 287 and north into the Arapahoe Ridge open space.
The Town’s current operator, Summit Companies, has provided a proposal to oversee the completion of the plug an abandon process (attached) per all Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission regulations. The approved process would cement all gas flow lines in place as opposed to physically removing all flow lines. The procedure is described in detail on page two of the proposal.
Upon approval of the resolution staff will begin coordinating the timing of this project.
