April 18, 2019
Crestone Peak Resources will soon begin the task of plugging and abandoning the nearby
McCoy 14-5 location. This site is just north of Firestone Blvd. and east of County Road 15.
In the next week, a truck mounted service rig will move in and rig up on the single well pad.
The crew will pull tubing out of the well, set a permanent plug in the wellbore, and cement the
well per Colorado Oil & Gas Conservation Commission (COGCC) regulations. Once set, the
cement casing will be cut-off below surface and a metal plate will be welded into place. All
production facility equipment and the flowlines connected to this site will be removed as well.
Equipment expected on location during this time includes a truck mounted service rig, various
pieces of heavy equipment, temporary water tanks, trucks and worker pickup trucks. All access
to this site is limited to the designated access route.
This activity is expected to take about one week to complete. This includes plugging and
abandoning the well; removing all surface equipment and flow lines; and interim reclamation
of the site which includes grading, re-contouring and re-seeding the location. Reclamation is
done per Crestone’s agreement with the surface owner.
