MEMORANDUM
TO: FILE – SCOUT ENERGY MANAGEMENT LLC – GOSP 4
THROUGH: Rik Ombach, Minor Source Oil and Gas Compliance Section Manager
FROM: Kyle Greenberg, Environmental Scientist
DATE: October 27, 2023
SUBJECT: FULL COMPLIANCE EVALUATION, Minor, Duchesne County
INSPECTION DATE: September 6, 2023
SOURCE LOCATION: 40.09936844 -110.05955782
Duchesne County, Utah
DIRECTIONS: Approximately 7 miles south of Myton, UT off of Sand Wash
Road.

cell: 435-210-8355
OPERATING STATUS: Operating
PROCESS DESCRIPTION: Produced fluids gathered from various wells are delivered by
pipeline to the inlet of the Greater Monument Butte Gas Oil
Separation Plant #4 (GOSP 4). The fluids enter one of three free
water knockout (FWKO) vessels where three phase separation
occurs. The oil phase is directed to one of two heater treater units
where additional phase separation occurs. It is then delivered to
one of five 5,000 bbl storage tanks while the water phase from
the FWKOs and heater treaters will be delivered to one 5,000 bbl
water storage tank. Vapors generated by the operation of the oil
and water tanks will be collected by a vapor balance system. The
tank vapors are mixed with the gas collected from the FWKOs
and heater treaters and used for fuel.
