And for site cleanups, we have completed 00:14:19.680 --> 00:14:24.068 136 activities, which is 60% off our annual 00:14:24.080 --> 00:14:28.679 goal. So we're ahead of the target as of last 00:14:28.679 --> 00:14:32.564 Friday. Our current head count, as of last Friday, 00:14:32.576 --> 00:14:35.939 is 813, and we continue our very aggressive 00:14:35.939 --> 00:14:39.230 hiring practice. Trying to get all the vacancies 00:14:39.242 --> 00:14:41.939 filled. And with that, that concludes my 00:14:41.939 --> 00:14:44.953 report today. I'm available for questions. 00:14:44.978 --> 00:14:48.809 Are there any questions? Okay. Thank you. I appreciate 00:14:48.809 --> 00:14:55.364 that. And Item 313 is our Office of General Counsel item. 00:14:57.789 --> 00:15:00.630 Vanessa Burgess, Assistant General 00:15:00.642 --> 00:15:03.389 Counsel, for the record. We have nothing to report. 00:15:03.389 --> 00:15:04.629 Nothing is something I can-- 00:15:04.654 --> 00:15:05.197 Don't get long winded on us, Vannesa. 00:15:05.223 --> 00:15:09.799 Are there any questions? Thank you, Alex. 00:15:09.799 --> 00:15:14.338 (laughter) It's in the book. I'm sorry. I've screwed it up again. I called the 00:15:14.350 --> 00:15:16.527 secretary the wrong thing. Alright. My 00:15:16.539 --> 00:15:19.132 fault. Male chauvanist pig, what can I say. 00:15:19.157 --> 00:15:22.300 Should have acted like it was a joke. Haha, I did it on 00:15:22.300 --> 00:15:23.867 purpose. 00:15:23.892 --> 00:15:26.242 I don't know. I just go by the 00:15:26.254 --> 00:15:28.569 script. What can I say? Item 314 is the Oilfield 00:15:28.569 --> 00:15:30.802 Cleanup Report Quarterly Status Report. And 00:15:30.814 --> 00:15:33.059 we're sitting here with the award winner to 00:15:33.059 --> 00:15:34.532 present to us. 00:15:34.557 --> 00:15:36.434 Good Morning, Chairman and 00:15:36.446 --> 00:15:38.950 Commissioners. For the record, I'm Clay Woodell with the 00:15:38.949 --> 00:15:42.380 Oil and Gas division. And with me is Art 00:15:42.392 --> 00:15:46.170 Korea. Item 314 is Oilfield Clean Up program 00:15:46.170 --> 00:15:49.324 First quarter status report for Fiscal Year 2020. 00:15:49.336 --> 00:15:52.249 I will present the well plugging part portion 00:15:52.249 --> 00:15:55.793 of it, and Art will present the site remediation portion. 00:15:55.805 --> 00:15:58.810 So during the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2020, 00:15:58.810 --> 00:16:04.383 we completed plugging operations and closed 00:16:04.395 --> 00:16:09.980 files on 310 wells at a cost of $5,181,281. 00:16:09.980 --> 00:16:12.412 This includes only those wells that were plugged 00:16:12.424 --> 00:16:14.619 and invoiced by the plugging contractor and 00:16:14.619 --> 00:16:17.264 approved for payment by field operations. 00:16:17.276 --> 00:16:19.869 During that same time, we had physically 00:16:19.869 --> 00:16:23.923 plugged 395 wells. And as Wei mentioned, as of 00:16:23.935 --> 00:16:28.000 last Friday, we're at 540, so we're doing real 00:16:28.000 --> 00:16:30.676 good with plugging operations this year. During 00:16:30.688 --> 00:16:33.040 the same period, during the first quarter, 00:16:33.040 --> 00:16:36.188 we approved 286 new wells to be plugged with 00:16:36.200 --> 00:16:39.220 state funds. And that concludes my portion 00:16:39.220 --> 00:16:42.362 if you have any questions. If not, I'll turn it over to art. 00:16:42.387 --> 00:16:43.959 I have a quick question. Are you saying 00:16:43.959 --> 00:16:47.033 cost stay about the same or are we continue to watch 00:16:47.045 --> 00:16:49.839 those? I just ask because I know there are some 00:16:49.839 --> 00:16:52.979 service company, there's some layoffs. I didn't 00:16:52.991 --> 00:16:55.749 know if we were, if there's any advantage 00:16:55.749 --> 00:16:58.919 We're not really seeing that 00:16:58.931 --> 00:17:02.679 advantage of it, of necessarily of cost coming down. 00:17:02.679 --> 00:17:04.896 But at the same time, I'm not necessarily 00:17:04.908 --> 00:17:06.819 seeing a huge increase in our cost. 00:17:06.819 --> 00:17:09.807 You know, I think the last time I looked at 00:17:09.819 --> 00:17:13.159 things, we were, the wells we were plugging were 00:17:13.159 --> 00:17:20.299 slightly shallower in depth than our average plugging depth last year. So, I 00:17:20.299 --> 00:17:25.379 think overall, we might be plugging, average cost, about the same. 00:17:25.404 --> 00:17:27.199 Okay, great. Thank you. 00:17:27.199 --> 00:17:30.686 Good morning, Commissioners.
