Title
Consideration of a Request for a Variance to Chapter 114.13(B) of the Code of Ordinances, “Gas Well Drilling and Production” by EagleRidge Operating, LLC, to Allow an Extension of Time Related to Permanent Lift Compressors (GW#13-004)
Requested Action
To consider the subject variance
Description/History
EagleRidge Operating LLC is the operator of the Woodland Estates North Pad and Central Pad drill sites. EagleRidge has two temporary lift compressors on the Central Pad, and another on the North Pad. The Central Pad compressors will become permanent on May 9 and July 7, 2016. The North Pad compressor will become permanent on September 8, 2016.
A temporary lift compressor becomes permanent when it has been located on a drill site for more than 6 consecutive months. Under Chapter 114.13(B) of the Code of Ordinances, an operator must use electricity to power all permanent compressors.
EagleRidge is performing workover operations on these sites to restore production to the wells. These operations are expected to continue through July. EagleRidge is requesting an extension of time related to the permanent lift compressors for the reasons stated in the attached letter.
