Rule 1148.2 Emission Source Report Help

Rule 1148.2 Emission Source Report

This is the emission source reporting tool to assist suppliers in complying with the requirements of Rule 1148.2(e)(1).  Oil and  gas well operators must use this electronic format (approved by the SCAQMD Executive Officer) to report well emission source information no later than 60 days after completion of oil/gas well drilling, well completion, or well rework activities.

NOTE:  Navigating away from the data input webpage (i.e., clicking the “Back” button or the “refresh” button) during the data entry process will delete any information that has not been saved.  If you are unable to submit a complete report at one time, you may save your work in progress, or submit separate partial Chemical Reports for the same Event ID number.  To save a partially completed form, you must provide a minimum amount of information (at minimum, you must provide a valid Event ID number, “Start” and “End” dates for the applicable activity, complete information for at least one piece of combustion equipment rated >50bhp, complete information for at least one dry material, information on the final disposition of drilling and flowback fluids, and you must click the “I agree to the Above Certification Statement” checkbox, before you will be allowed to save a partial form), then you can click the “Save” button at the bottom of the page.  To return to your saved form, go back to the Reporting Portal and click on the “Edit Saved Emission Source Report” button.  Also, if no user activity occurs on the data input page for more than 20 minutes, the system will automatically “log-out” without saving the information.

Well Drilling/Completion/Rework Event Reporting Instructions for Operators

To begin entering information into the Emission Source Report Form, first enter the “Event ID” number for the event to be referenced in the report.  The “Event ID” number may be found on the Rule 1148.2 Notification Form confirmation email that was sent by SCAQMD following submittal of an applicable well drilling/completion/rework event Notification Form.  If you do not have the Event ID number, you may search for it here.  

Upon entering the Event ID number, please verify that all of the Operator and Well information is correct.  If it is not correct, verify that you have entered the correct Event ID number and/or view the original Notification Form to verify that the information on the form matches with the event for which you are reporting chemical information.  Correct each field which is not accurate.  Prior to leaving this section, enter the date the applicable well activity commenced and the date of completion for the applicable well activity in the "Start Date" and “End Date” fields.

Entering Combustion Equipment Information

To enter information for internal combustion equipment used during a well drilling/completion/rework activity, click the “Add” button in the section titled “Combustion Equipment List”.   List all internal combustion equipment, including mobile equipment, with engines rated greater than 50 brake horsepower (>50 BHP) used during drilling/completion/rework operations.  After entering information for one piece of equipment, click the “Add” button again to create a new entry for another piece of equipment.  Repeat this process until information for all combustion equipment has been entered onto the form.

For each internal combustion engine rated >50 BHP used during drilling/completion/rework operations, provide the following information:  type of well activity in which the engine was used (e.g., drilling, gravel packing, acidizing, etc); type of equipment driven by the engine (e.g., electrical generator, drilling rig, compressor, hydraulic pump, fuel transport truck, etc.); engine manufacturer and model number; engine size (brake-horsepower); type of fuel used in the engine; for all diesel-fueled engines, enter the regulatory “tier” for which the engine is certified (e.g., Tier 1, Tier 2, Tier 3, or Tier 4).  If the engine is not diesel-fueled, enter “non-diesel”; and the total number of hours the engine was operated during the applicable well activity.  

Entering Dry Materials Information

To enter information for dry materials used for well drilling, completion, or rework activities, click the “Add” button on the section titled, “Identification of Dry Materials Used for Drilling/Well Completion/Rework.”  List all dry materials mixed onsite for use in well drilling and/or well completion fluids.  

For each dry material used for drilling and/or well completion, list the following information:   type of well activity in which the dry material was used (e.g., drilling, gravel packing, acidizing, etc); dry material type (e.g., sand, gravel, barium sulfate, etc); quantity of dry material used (in pounds); method used to mix the material onsite; any air pollution controls used to minimize dust/odors (e.g., closed system vented to dust collector).  After entering information for one dry material, click the “Add” button again to create a new entry for another dry material.  Repeat this process until information for all dry materials has been entered onto the form.

Entering Well Completion and Flowback Fluid Information

Oil and Gas Wells and Chemical Suppliers Notification

Total volume of well completion fluid used (gallons):

Provide the total amount of well completion fluid (i.e., hydraulic fracturing fluid, gravel packing fluid, etc.) injected into the well during the applicable activity (If only conducting drilling activity without well production stimulation or treatment, enter “0” for the total volume of well completion fluid used).

Total volume of flowback fluid recovered (gallons):

Provide the total amount of flowback fluids recovered from the well following a well production stimulation or treatment activity (If only conducting drilling activity without well production stimulation or treatment, enter “0” for the total volume of flowback fluid recovered).

Note:  The flowback period begins when material introduced into the well during well production stimulation or treatment activity returns to the surface immediately following the activity.  The flowback period ends with either well shut in or when the well is producing continuously to the flow line or to a storage vessel for collection, whichever occurs first.

Entering Well Drilling, Completion, and Flowback Fluid Information

Oil and Gas Wells and Chemical Suppliers Notification

Drilling and Well Completion Fluid Information:

Check the appropriate “checkbox” indicating whether the drilling and well completion fluids were open to the atmosphere at any point during collection, conditioning, separation, treatment, or storage. If a certain activity was not conducted during the referenced timeframe, select the checkbox labeled “not applicable”. For each applicable fluid type, list any applicable air pollution control equipment used to control vapors/odors/etc.

Describe the final disposition of recovered drilling and flowback fluids:

Provide a brief description of the final disposition of recovered drilling and/or flowback fluids (e.g., disposal at approved off-site waste handling facility, disposal via permitted injection well).
