Zen Midstream., LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, is a wholly owned ubsidiar fBUG] . IN WITN lESS WHERTOL the undersigned has executed this Officer's Certificate as of the first date written above. BisoN OIL & GAS I, LLC By: Name: Christopher umbe Title: Executive Vice President General Counsel 3 Project Overview ■ The applicant is requesting a SiteSpecific Development Plan and Use by Special Review Permit for an Oil and Gas Support and Service Facility (Compressor Station) identified as the Ren Compressor Station, that will be owned and operated by Zen Midstream LLC (Zen). The purpose of this project is to facilitate the compression and transport natural gas produced at nearby oil and gas production facilities. ITI ZEN MIDSTREAM ■ The natural gas gathering pipelines in this area operate at a line pressure above the pressure of the production facilities. The high pipeline pressure prevents the gas produced at the production facilities from entering the pipeline and being transported offsite. ■ Natural gas production from the surrounding production facilities will be routed to the Ren Compressor Station where the gas will be compressed so it can be transported offsite to the existing pipeline infrastructure. Project Overview Continued 121 ZEN MIDSTREAM ■ The new facility includes three (3) skid -mounted compressors, two (2) blowdown vessels, one (1) BTEX knockout, two (2) produced water tanks, five (5) scrubbers, two (2) separators, one (1) discharge coalescer filter, one (1) gas/glycol exchanger, one (1) regen skid, one (1) BTEX skid, one (1) glycol make-up tank, instrument air equipment, three (3) dry air receivers, three (3) generators, two (2) VRUs, two (2) blowdown blowers, two (2) BTEX lowers, two (2) pressure vessels, two (2) oxygen destructors, one (1) air compressor skid, one (1) condensate treater, one (1) slug catcher, six (6) pig launchers, three (3) pig receivers, two (2) LACT skids, three (3) sales meters, two (2) 40ft storage boxes and other minor support equipment. ■ There will be onsite containment of fluids required for maintenance and safe operation of equipment. Compressor coolant will be housed in three (3) 500- gallon double -wall horizontal steel tanks stalled at grade. Eco waste will be housed in three (3) 100 -gallon fiberglass sump tanks at grade will be installed to capture all compressor drains. Six (6) 330 -gallon methanol tanks and one (1) 1,000 -gallon glycol tank. Six (6) 500 -gallon lube oil tanks, and two (2) 500 bbl produced water tanks each with secondary containment. Project Overview Continued 121 ZEN MIDSTREAM ■ During construction there will be approximately two (2) to eight (8) workers on site. The facility will be unmanned during operation, meaning no full-time or part-time personnel will be specifically stationed at this compressor station, but the site will be visited daily by both full-time personnel and contractors for inspection and monitoring. During operation, the facility will be monitored remotely on a 24 -hour basis. The site will be graveled and fenced with minimum downcast lighting and operational twenty-four (24) hours a day, seven (7) days a week, three hundred sixty-five (365) days a year. ■ The site will implement a limited lighting regiment for internal lighting and will be fully fenced utilizing a cattle guard for vehicular access with the area inside the fence graveled and the area outside of the fence will be re -seeded with an NRCS- approved native seed mix. The applicants submitted a Decommissioning Plan with the application materials.
