Oklahoma Administrative Code › Title 165 - Corporation Commission › Chapter 10 - Oil And Gas Conservation › Subchapter 5 - Underground Injection Control › Section 165:10-5-5 - Application for approval of injection and disposal operations

Current through Vol. 41, No. 20, July 1, 2024
(a)
Application.
Each
				application for the approval of a proposed injection well, disposal well, or
				commercial disposal well shall be filed with the UIC Department on Form 1015
				and shall be verified by a duly authorized representative of the operator.
(b)
Application.
The
				application for the approval of an injection or disposal well(s) shall be
				accompanied by:
(1)
Plat.
(A)
Noncommercial disposal well or
				injection well.
A plat showing the location and total depth of the
				well(s) and each abandoned, producing or drilling well, and dry hole within
				one-quarter (1/4) mile of the proposed injection well or disposal well for
				volumes less than 20,000 barrels per day and within one-half (1/2) mile of the
				proposed injection well or disposal well for volumes equal to or greater than
				20,000 barrels per day, and identifying the surface owner of the land on which
				the injection or disposal well is to be located, and each operator of a
				producing spacing unit or well within one-half (1/2) mile of each injection or
				disposal well with a requested injection rate of less than five thousand
				barrels per day, and each operator of a producing spacing unit or well within
				one (1) mile of each injection or disposal well with a requested injection rate
				of five thousand barrels per day or more.
(B)
Commercial disposal well.
A
				plat showing the location and total depth of the well(s) and each abandoned,
				producing or drilling well and dry hole within one-half (1/2) mile of the
				disposal well, and identifying the surface owner of the land on which the
				disposal well is to be located, and each operator of a producing spacing unit
				or well within one (1) mile of each disposal well.
(C)
Additional required
				information.
The following information must be submitted in a separate
				document regarding wells listed on such plats:
(i) Well name and number and API
				number;
(ii) Current operator of
				well;
(iii) Well status;
(iv) Total depth of well;
(v) Geologic name of any producing interval
				in the well and/or any interval used for injection or disposal
				purposes;
(vi) The diameter of and
				setting depth for the surface casing, intermediate casing (if set), production
				casing (if set) and liner (if used) in the well;
(vii) Top of cement obtained from Forms 1002A
				or 1002C, if specified, or a cement bond log, temperature log or cased hole
				log, if available, in the outermost string of casing in the well perforating
				the injection interval to be used by the proposed noncommercial or commercial
				disposal well or injection well. If such logs are not available, a calculated
				top of cement will be acceptable;
(viii) The size and amount of casing pulled,
				if any, and the depths of any plugs set, if any, in any plugged well;
(ix) Identify any well or borehole that
				penetrates the top of the proposed injection/disposal zone which is mud plugged
				and/or is configured in a manner that will not prevent the potential movement
				of fluids from the injection/disposal zone into treatable water strata. The
				applicant is required to submit the corresponding Form 1003 Plugging Records
				for such wells identified in this unit. If such Form 1003 Plugging Records are
				not available, the applicant must provide a corrective action plan to prevent
				injected/disposed fluids from impacting treatable water strata, which
				corrective action plan may include, but not be limited to, a written request by
				the applicant for a technical conference with the Conservation Division;
				and
(x) Identify any well where the
				top of cement is behind the long string below any portion of the proposed
				injection/disposal zone. The applicant is required to submit the corresponding
				Form 1002A Completion Reports for such wells identified in this unit. If such
				Form 1002A Completion Reports do not contain enough information to make the
				foregoing determination, or if Form 1002A Completion Reports are not available,
				the applicant must provide a corrective action plan to prevent
				injected/disposed fluids from impacting treatable water strata, which
				corrective action plan may include, but not be limited to, a written request by
				the applicant for a technical conference with the Conservation
				Division.
