fracturing activities at the Kowhai-C wellsite.
Greymouth Petroleum Limited notified the Council of its intention to test the well and
combust gas intermittently at the Kowhai-C wellsite between 8 January 2014 and 9 February
2014. Although gas combustion was anticipated intermittently for approximately two weeks,
gas combustion only occurred intermittently over the course of a few days in conjunction
with well testing and pipeline installations. No offensive or objectionable odours,
any issues with any injection well
currently in use, or the on-going ability of the receiving formation to accept injected fluids. The results of
groundwater quality monitoring undertaken show no adverse effects of the activity at on local groundwater
resources. Inspections undertaken during the monitoring year found sites being operated in a professional
manner and there were no Unauthorised Incidents in relation to any of the Company’s DWI consents.
