Document Description
The proposed permitting activity is the rework of one well to convert from observation status to underground gas storage service. The proposed work would meet the requirements of CalGEM’s rules for Underground Gas Storage Projects that became effective October 1, 2018.
The proposed work would be performed using a service rig and ancillary services. Rig work would involve hydrostatically controlling the well, removing the wellhead, pulling the existing tubing, and performing a casing inspection. Perforations would be added and a screened-liner would be installed. For sand control, a gravel-pack operation would be performed. A new tubing and packer assembly would be installed. Finally, the wellhead would be re-installed, and a series of pressure tests would be performed to confirm integrity. Service rig work is expected to take 20 days. Following the rig-work, the well would be tied-in to the existing gathering/pipeline system.
The project activity being permitted by the California Geologic Energy Management Division (CalGEM) is within the scope of the Wild Goose Storage LLC – Phase 3 Gas Storage Expansion Project – Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Report as well as the 2002 EIR: Wild Goose Storage, Inc. Expansion Project, and the 1997 MND: Wild Goose Storage, Inc. Wild Goose Gas Storage Project Natural Gas Storage Facilities (A.96-08-058).
CalGEM, as the CEQA Responsible Agency, approved a permit for Wild Goose Storage LLC to rework the well listed below, in the Wild Goose Gas Field in Butte County.
