REGISTERED EQUIPMENT: Pneumatic Controller
General Provisions
Visible emissions are within the following opacity limits: VOC Control Devices and Gasoline engines
0%, Diesel engines 20%, Natural Gas Engines and Boilers, Treater burners & Tank burners 10%, Mobile
source dust 10%. [R307-201-3]
In Compliance.
VOC emissions are, at all times, minimized as reasonably practicable by equipment design, maintenance
and operation practices. [R307-501-4(1)]
In Compliance. The expected components were found installed. The DAQ observed the
installation for a cycle and it seems to be operating as expected.
Pneumatic Controllers
All natural gas-driven pneumatic controllers are in compliance with 40CFR 60.5390 or 60.5390a as
applicable. Tagging and record keeping requirements are not required. [R307-502-4]
In Compliance. The natural gas-driven pneumatic controllers at this source are not continuous
bleed but are low-bleed or snap acting.
Oil and Gas Industry Registration Requirement
The source is registered with the DAQ. [R307-505-3(3)]
Out of Compliance. This source was not registered at the time of inspection.
Registration has been updated within 30 days of a company name change, removal or addition of control
devices, or termination of operations. [R307-505-3(3)]
Out of Compliance. This source was not registered by Scout Energy within 30 days of purchase.
PREVIOUS ENFORCEMENT
ACTIONS: None
COMPLIANCE STATUS &
RECOMMENDATIONS: Out of Compliance. The source was surveyed by AVO and with
an OGI camera and was found to be well-kept with no visible or
fugitive emissions. This is a water injection well for enhanced
recovery. The only possible emissions sources are a wall heater
and the fuel supply piping and a pneumatic control. This well
was found to not be registered at the time of inspection. The
DAQ did a spatial analysis of the area and produced a list of
possible wells that Scout had not registered. Scout quickly sorted
3
through the list and registered the sources in error. The DAQ
recommends no enforcement action to be taken.
RECOMMENDATION FOR
NEXT INSPECTION: The DAQ has no recommendations for the next inspector other
than what are customary. The DAQ was joined by Scout
personnel during the site inspection.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR NSR: None
