Current through Vol. 41, No. 20, July 1, 2024
(a)
Commingling permit required.
(1)
				  Commingling of production from a well from separate common sources of supply is
				  prohibited without an approved Form 1023 permit. A permit shall be required
				  when production is from more than one source of supply, without segregation of
				  the production in the wellbore, or is produced separately in the wellbore and
				  then combined together downstream of the wellhead prior to measurement. A
				  permit shall be required for horizontal wells with more than one lateral where
				  production in the individual lateral is from separate common sources of supply.
				  A permit shall also be required for horizontal wells where production in uphole
				  zones is from separate common sources of supply. A permit is not required for a
				  multiunit horizontal well or horizontal well involving production from only one
				  lateral. Commingling downstream of the wellhead shall require Form 1024 (Packer
				  Setting Affidavit) and Form 1025 (Packer Leakage Test) to be filed and
				  approved. The Commission may assess a fine up to $500.00 for non-permitted
				  commingling either down hole or downstream prior to measurement.
(2) Each application for the approval of the
				  commingling of a well shall be filed with the Technical Services Department on
				  Form 1023. The following shall be filed with the application:
(A) A well log section with top and bottom of
				  open intervals marked.
(B) A
				  schematic of the proposed completion configuration of the well.
(C) A plat showing the locations of all wells
				  producing from the same common sources of supply within one-half (1/2) mile
				  radius of the subject well.
(3) A copy of the application shall be
				  served, by regular mail, or delivered to each operator of a producing leasehold
				  within one-half (1/2) mile of the well location. An affidavit of mailing shall
				  be filed within five (5) days of filing of the application. No notice is
				  required to be published.
(4) If a
				  written objection to the application for a commingling permit is filed within
				  15 days after the application is filed, or if hearing is required by the
				  Commission, the application shall be set for hearing, and notice thereof shall
				  be given as the Commission shall direct. If no objection is filed and the
				  Commission does not require a hearing, the matter shall be reviewed
				  administratively by the Director of Conservation or his designee. If the
				  Conservation Division denies an application, the applicant may request a
				  hearing on said application.

				well is a well which injects, for purposes other than enhanced recovery, those
				fluids brought to the surface in connection with oil or natural gas
				production.
(3)
Storage
				well.
A storage well is a well used to inject, for storage purposes,
				hydrocarbons which are liquid at standard temperature and pressure.
(4)
Simultaneous injection well.
A well that injects or disposes of salt water at the same time it is producing
				oil and/or gas to the surface.
