Current through Register Vol. 39, No. 2, July 15, 2024
(a) Within 30
				  calendar days after the conclusion of stimulation operations on an oil or gas
				  well, the permittee shall submit Form 18 - Well Stimulation Report to the
				  Department that includes the following information:
(1) the permittee's name, address, telephone
				  number, fax number, and email address;
(2) the county and nearest city or town where
				  the oil or gas well is located;
(3)
				  the property street address, or nearest address to the ingress and egress point
				  leading from a public road to the well pad;
(4) the API number, the lease name, and the
				  oil or gas well name and number;
(5) the type of oil or gas well;
(6) the total volume of the base
				  fluid;
(7) the total volume of
				  reused water, alternative water, freshwater, or other base fluid that was used
				  in each hydraulic fracturing stage;
(8) the maximum pump pressure measured at the
				  surface during each stage of the hydraulic fracturing operations;
(9) the types and volumes of the well
				  stimulation fluid and proppant used for each stage of the well stimulation
				  operations;
(10) the well
				  stimulation treatment data collected in accordance Rule .1613 of this
				  Section;
(11) for hydraulic
				  fracture stimulations, the estimated maximum fracture height and length and
				  estimated true vertical depth to the top of the fracture achieved during well
				  stimulation treatments as determined by a three dimensional model using true
				  treating pressures and other data collected during the hydraulic fracturing
				  treatments;
(12) the well shooting
				  or perforation record detailing the true vertical and measured depths, and
				  total number of shots in the wellbore;
(13) the wellbore diagram that includes
				  casing and cement data, perforations, and a stimulation summary;
(14) the initial oil or gas well test
				  information recording daily gas, oil, and water rate, and tubing and casing
				  pressure in accordance with Rule .2201 of this Subchapter;
(15) the initial gas analysis, performed by a
				  laboratory certified by the State in accordance with

				  including subsequent amendments and editions; and
(16) the engines used on-site during
				  exploration and development, including:
(A)
				  the number of engines with capacities (maximum site-rated horsepower) less than
				  750 horsepower by engine type, such as compression ignition, two stroke lean
				  burn ignition, four stroke lean burn ignition, rich burn spark
				  ignition;
(B) the number of engines
				  with capacities (maximum site-rated horsepower) greater than or equal to 750
				  horsepower by engine type, such as compression ignition, two stroke lean burn
				  ignition, four stroke lean burn ignition, rich burn spark ignition;
				  and
(C) the average number of hours
				  of operation for engines in each of the categories above.
