The hydrocarbon or inert composition of gas recovered during completion and re-coimpletion activities shall be sufficiently monitored in 

order to establish and verify salability or non-salability of the gas.

During flow back of completion and re-completion fluids, well pressure and gas sales or gathering pipeline pressure shall be monitored 

on no less than an hourly basis.

Unacceptable reasons for flaring or venting hydrocarbon fluids associated with completions and re-completion activities are:

lack of a pipeline connection due to reasons other than wildcat, exploratory or step-out well classification;

inadequate water disposal capacity;

undersized flow back equipment, lack of flow back equipment or lack of equipment operating personnel.

The opacity of visible emissions associated with the flaring of hydrocarbon fluids associated with completion and re-completion activities 

shall be limited to twenty percent (20%) as determined by 40 CFR Part 60, Appendix A, Method 9.

Green Completions Permit Application August 2010

1. Authorized representatives of the Division of Air Quality be given permission to enter and inspect any property, premise or place on or at 

which an air pollution source is located or is being constructed or installed for the purpose of investigating actual or potential sources of 

air pollution and for determining compliance or non-compliance with any rules, standards, permits or orders.

All substantive commitments and descriptions set forth in the application for this permit, unless superseded by a specific condition of 

this permit, are incorporated herein by this reference and are enforceable as conditions of this permit.

Emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOC) and hazardous air pollutants (HAP) associated with the flaring and venting of 

hydrocarbon fluids (liquids and gas) associated with well completion and re-completion activities shall be eliminated to the extent 

practicable by routing the recovered liquids into storage tanks and routing the recovered gas into a gas sales line or collection system.

All notifications, reports and correspondence required by this permit shall be submitted to Cynthia Madison, DEQ/AQD, 125 North 

Durbin Street, Suite 100, Casper, WY 82601 and a copy shall be submitted to the appropriate Air Quality District Engineer.

Records identifying and summarizing total volumes of hydrocarbon liquids (bbls) and natural gas (MMCF) recovered (flared, vented, 

stored in tanks, pits, trucks or other containment, or sold to gathering lines, storage or containment vessels or trucks) from wellbores 

during completion and re-completion activities shall be maintained on a per well basis. The records shall include summaries of 

associated pressures of the well and the gas sales or gathering pipeline.

Records summarizing total tons of VOC, total HAPs, nitrogen oxides (NOX) and carbon monoxide (CO) emissions associated with the 

flaring and venting of hydrocarbon fluids, as recorded under condition eleven (11), shall be maintained for each completion and recompletion activity on a per well basis. The Division's Well Completion Emission Spreadsheet shall be used to generate the estimates 

of these emissions. 

When specific operational events or circumstances require flaring or venting of hydrocarbon fluids associated with well completion and 

re-completion activities, records shall be maintained describing times, durations and causes of the events and circumstances on a well 

by well basis.

FORM AQD-OG11, Page 2 

This permit shall become effective for all well completion and re-completion activities commencing after issuance of this permit.

The Division will reopen and revise this permit, as necessary, to add or delete requirements should the Division determine that:

The practical application of the terms and conditions of the permit are unfeasible or fail to achieve the intent of the permit, or;

The monitoring, recordkeeping, notification or reporting requirements are inadequate to assure compliance with applicable 

requirements.
