Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
All exploratory wells and initial development wells on
						offshore sites shall be drilled or reworked in accordance with these
						regulations, which shall continue in effect until field rules are established.
						After field rules have been established, development wells shall be drilled or
						reworked according to such rules.
(a)
					 Where sufficient geologic and engineering information is available from
					 previous drilling, operators may make application to the Supervisor for the
					 establishment of field rules for each oil or gas pool or zone. The Supervisor
					 shall review field rules at least once a year and notify operators in writing
					 of any change.
(b) Drilling or
					 reworking of wells shall not commence without approval of the Division. Notices
					 of intention and approvals shall be considered cancelled if the proposed
					 operations are not commenced within one year of receipt of the notice. Each
					 proposal to drill or rework a well shall include all information required on
					 Division forms and a detailed work program including, when applicable, casing,
					 cementing, drilling fluid, and blowout prevention programs, proposed bottom
					 hole location, anticipated location of the intersection of each proposed zone
					 of completion with the bore hole, anticipated pressures, and anticipated depths
					 (both measured and vertical) of geologic formations, oil zones, gas zones, and
					 freshwater zones. The casing, cementing, drilling fluid, and blowout prevention
					 programs shall comply with either the following requirements or established

Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
All wells shall be cased and cemented in a manner that
						will fulfill the requirements of Sections
						3106,
						3219,
						3220, and
						3222 of Division 3 of the Public
						Resources Code. The proposal to drill, redrill, or deepen shall include a
						casing program designed to provide for firm anchorage and for full protection
						of all oil, gas, or fresh water zones. All casing strings shall be new pipe or
						equivalent, capable of withstanding all anticipated collapse and burst
						pressures to be encountered or used. For the purpose of these regulations, the
						several strings in order of normal installation are conductor, first surface,
						second surface, intermediate, protective, and production.
Casing strings shall be run and cemented prior to
						drilling below the specified setting depth, subject to minor variations
						necessary to allow the casing to be set in firm compacted or consolidated
						stratum. All depths refer to true vertical depth (TVD) below the ocean floor,
						unless otherwise specified. Determination of proper casing setting depths shall
						be based upon all geological and engineering factors, including but not limited
						to the presence or absence of hydrocarbons, formation pressures, fracture
						gradients, lost circulation intervals, and the degree of compaction or
						consolidation of formations.

Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
The conductor (if drilled or jetted) and surface casings
						shall be cemented with sufficient cement to fill the annular space back to the
						ocean floor. The intermediate casing shall be cemented with sufficient cement
						to fill the annular space back to the ocean floor or at least 200 feet into the
						next larger string of pipe. The protective and production casings shall be
						cemented so that all fresh water zones, oil or gas zones, and abnormal pressure
						intervals are covered or isolated, and, in addition, a calculated volume
						sufficient to fill the annular space to at least 500 feet above cementing
						points, above oil or gas zones, and above abnormal pressure intervals not
						previously cased. When the cement behind casing is not returned to the ocean
						floor or through a lap, the amount of solid cement fill behind casing shall be
						determined by surveys acceptable to the Supervisor. If the annular space is not
						adequately cemented by the primary operation, the operator shall displace
						sufficient cement to fill the required annular space. Upon demonstrating
						shut-off above the zones to be produced or injected into as indicated under (f)
						above, the operator may continue with the approved
						operations.
