Current through Vol. 41, No. 20, July 1, 2024
(a) All single-point and multi-point
				potential tests shall be calculated for all non-exempt gas wells in a uniform
				manner with respect to the following:
(1) The
				potential shall be the calculated wellhead absolute open flow potential of the
				well determined by obtaining a static column wellhead flowing pressure and
				shall indicate the capacity of the well to produce against zero psia at the
				wellhead.
(2) All pressures used in
				test calculations shall be corrected to pounds per square inch absolute, using
				14.4 psia as the average barometric pressure.
(3) The static column wellhead pressure,
				either measured or calculated as reported in the potential test, shall be no
				more than 90 percent of the wellhead shut-in pressure. If data cannot be
				obtained in accordance with the foregoing provisions, an assumed static column
				wellhead pressure of 90 percent of the wellhead shut-in pressure shall be used
				to calculate the results of the test. This paragraph supersedes any contrary
				provision in special pool rules.

Current through Vol. 41, No. 20, July 1, 2024
(a)
Wells in
				special allocated pools.
(1) An
				initial test shall be filed for each newly completed gas well in each special
				allocated pool. The well shall be tested into a pipeline no later than 30 days
				after the date of the first sale of gas. Test procedures shall be those
				specified in the applicable pool rules subject to the uniform requirements of
				165:10-17-6.
(2) An annual test shall be filed in
				accordance with the requirements of the applicable pool rules, subject to the
				following provisions specific to the Guymon-Hugoton special allocated
				pool.
(3) Wells in the
				Guymon-Hugoton special allocated pool.
(A)
				The Conservation Division staff will not be required to witness any well test
				on any well in the Guymon-Hugoton special allocated gas pool unless requested
				to do so by an offset operator. Operators have a right to witness any well test
				on any well offsetting said operator's well in the pool. Operators of
				offsetting wells will be given sufficient prior notice of testing to allow for
				a representative to be present to witness testing, and will be provided access
				to the designated witness throughout testing.
(B) Wells in the Guymon-Hugoton special
				allocated gas pool which are not capable of producing 450 Mcf/day will be
				exempt from biannual deliverability tests. Operators shall have the right to
				elect to receive the minimum allowable by deciding not to conduct well
				deliverability tests on any such wells in the pool. No well shall be exempt
				from the annual wellhead shut-in pressure test requirements. For the purpose of
				the annual wellhead shut-in pressure test, the shut-in pressure shall be
				measured after the well has been shut-in for approximately 48 hours. In no case
				shall the well have been shut-in for less than 44 hours at the time the shut-in
				pressure is taken.
Oklahoma Administrative Code › Title 165 - Corporation Commission › Chapter 10 - Oil And Gas Conservation › Subchapter 17 - Gas Well Operations and Permitted Production › Section 165:10-17-8 - Allocated pools

Current through Vol. 41, No. 20, July 1, 2024
(a) The current
				monthly allowable for each allocated pool shall be equal to the total
				production from the pool during the current month.
(b) The current allowable for each capable
				drilling and spacing unit within the pool shall be that proportion of the pool
				allowable that the acreage of the drilling and spacing unit bears to the total
				developed acreage in the pool, adjusted in accordance with any order of the
				Commission imposing an allowable adjustment. The current allowable for each
				limited drilling and spacing unit shall be equal to the current production from
				the unit. A unit shall be deemed limited when its underage is cancelled under
				this Section until it thereafter produces a current allowable for any one
				month.
(c) Accrued underage shall
				be carried forward as a cumulative credit by adding it to the unit's current
				allowable until the underage has been produced. If the unit's cumulative
				underage exceeds six times the allowable assigned to it for the preceding
				January, all of the underage will be cancelled, the unit shall be classified as
				"limited", and the unit shall not thereafter accumulate underage until such
				time as the unit produces a current allowable for any one month. All cancelled
				underage shall be distributed to the capable drilling and spacing units within
				the pool in the proportion that the acreage of each unit bears to the total
				capable acreage in the Pool, adjusted in accordance with any order of the
				Commission imposing an allowable adjustment. A capable unit shall be any
				non-limited unit. Cancelled underage may be reinstated administratively by the
				Director of Conservation to any capable unit in an overproduced status within
				six months after cancellation by application on Form 1010.
(d) Accrued overage shall be carried forward
				as a cumulative charge against the unit by subtracting it from the unit's
				current allowable until the overage has been made up. If the cumulative overage
				exceeds six times the current allowable assigned for the preceding January, the
				Director of Conservation shall notify the operator in writing, and the unit
				shall thereafter be permitted to produce not more than 25 percent of its
				current allowable until all of the overage in excess of six times the well's
				current allowable for the preceding January has been made up. In the event the
				operator fails to limit production as herein provided, the well shall be
				ordered shut-in by the Commission upon application of the Director of
				Conservation and after notice and hearing.
(e) If a unit did not have a current
				allowable assigned to it on a full month's basis for the preceding January, the
				first current allowable assigned to the unit on a full month's basis shall be
				used as reference for the purpose of limiting underage and overage.

				mcf/d.
For all special allocated gas pools except the West Cheyenne
				Upper Morrow, Purvis Chert, Guymon-Hugoton, Custer City N. Hunton, Sharon W.
				Morrow, Red Oak Fanshawe, Red Oak Red Oak, and Red Oak Spiro, the minimum
				allowable for a drilling and spacing unit in the pool shall be 150 MCF/D
				regardless of the amount of any location exception penalty charged against a
				unit well. For purposes of this Section, the net minimum allowable shall be the
				gross minimum allowable adjusted for overage or underage according to this
				Section.
(c)
Minimum unit
				allowable of 450 mcf/d for the Guymon-Hugoton pool.
(1) For the Guymon-Hugoton Special Allocated
				Gas Pool, minimum allowables shall be determined as follows: The minimum
				allowable shall be the lesser of 450 mcf/d or the drilling and spacing unit's
				capability. Capability shall be defined as the average of the highest three (3)
				of the last twelve (12) months of production. A drilling and spacing unit
				receiving a minimum allowable shall not accrue underage. The minimum allowables
				under this Section shall not affect the calculation of capable well allowables.
				The field monthly allowable shall be equal to total nominations and not
				adjusted for underage or overage.
(2) The deliverability standard pressure
				(DSP) to be used in the application of special allocated rules (field rules)
				shall be defined as 25 pounds less than the average shut-in wellhead pressure
				of the pool.
(3) The Corporation
				Commission shall calculate and publish reports of allowable and production
				quarterly.
