Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
All wells shall be cased in such a manner as to protect

						wellhead completion equipment shall be attached to the production casing or to
						the intermediate casing if production casing does not reach to the
						surface.
Division specifications for casing strings shall be
						determined on a well-to-well basis. All casing strings reaching the surface
						shall provide adequate anchorage for blowout-prevention equipment, hole
						pressure control and protection for all natural resources. The following casing
						requirements are general but should be used as guidelines in submitting
						proposals to drill.

(a) Length of Surface Casing.
(1) In areas where subsurface geological
					 conditions are variable or unknown, surface casing in general shall be set at a
					 depth equaling or exceeding 10 percent of the proposed total depths of wells
					 drilled in such areas. A minimum of 60 meters (about 200 feet) and a maximum of
					 400 meters (about 1,300 feet) of surface casing shall be set.
(2) In areas of known high formation
					 pressure, surface casing shall be set at a depth determined by the Division

(3) Within the confines of designated
					 geothermal fields, the depth at which surface casing shall be set shall be
					 determined by the Division on the basis of known field
					 conditions.

Production casing may be set above or through the
						producing or injection zone and cemented above the objective zones. Sufficient
						cement shall be used to exclude overlying formation fluids from the zone, to
						segregate zones, and to prevent movement of fluids behind the casing into zones
						that contain usable groundwater. Production casing shall either be cemented
						with sufficient cement to fill the annular space from the shoe to the surface

						in an unstable area:
(a) A Division
					 engineer shall be present at the well at all times during the initial phases of
					 drilling until the surface casing has been cemented and the BOPE has been
					 pressure-tested satisfactorily. The Division engineer may observe all drilling
					 operations at the well and if, in his or her opinion, conditions warrant, may
					 order a second or third string of surface casing to be run.
(b) The operator, while drilling the surface
					 casing hole, shall continuously monitor and record the following:
(1) Drilling fluid temperature (in and
					 out),
(2) Drilling fluid pit
					 level,
