sec.16 Well completion report

The holder of a GHG tenure must give the chief executive a report (a well completion report ) about the completion of a GHG well drilled under the tenure. The report must be given to the chief executive in the required way within 12 months after the rig release day for the well. The report must contain the following information— the type and number of the GHG tenure; the name and postal address of the operator of the well; the identifying name of the well; a summary of the information about the well in the report (commonly known as a ‘well card’); spatial information showing the location of the well; a geological summary of the area of the tenure; the reasons for the location of the well having regard to the geological structure of the surrounding area; a copy of each daily drilling report for the well; the ground level and kelly bushing level in metres for the well; the total depth in metres of the well; the following days— the day the drilling of the well started; the day the total depth of the well was reached; the rig release day for the well; details of the drilling rig, the number and type of drill bits, and the drilling fluids, used to drill the well; the status of the well on the rig release day; the surveyed path of the well; details of the casing and equipment installed in the well, with a diagram showing their location in the well; the type of any perforations in the well and the depth in metres of the top and bottom of the perforated intervals; details of the cementing in the well, including its location, the type of cement used and the depth in metres of the top and bottom of each cemented interval; a description of all tests or surveys carried out for drilling the well, including the depth in metres of the place or interval at which the testing was carried out; a geological interpretation of the well, including the stratigraphy of the rock units it intersects; an identification of the intervals intersected by the well that have the potential for GHG stream storage; an assessment of— the relevance of the well to the GHG stream storage potential within the vicinity of the well; and the implications of the well for the future management of any GHG storage reservoir to which the well relates; a description of each geological sample taken during the drilling of the well, including the depth in metres at which the sample was taken and the results of any analysis carried out for the sample; conventional cores and fluid samples, cuttings, sidewall cores an interpretation of the data obtained from the geophysical (or wireline) logs that have been run in the well; any other information stated in the relevant direction for the report. For a directional well, the report must also state the position of each of the following— the stratigraphic units intersected by the well; the bottom of the well; any intersection of the well with the following— another GHG well; a petroleum well; an exploration bore under the Geothermal Act . For subsection (4) , the position must be expressed using— the total vertical depth in metres; and the horizontal plane. The report must be accompanied by each of the following— a digital image of the cores taken during the drilling of the well; the raw data, in digital form, of each geophysical (or wireline) log that has been run in the well; a digital image of the graphic representations of the raw data mentioned in paragraph (b) . If the well is plugged and abandoned on or before the rig release day for the well, the report must be accompanied by a well abandonment report for the well. s 16 amd 2022 SL No. 112 s 63 (sec.16-ssec.1) The holder of a GHG tenure must give the chief executive a report (a well completion report ) about the completion of a GHG well drilled under the tenure. (sec.16-ssec.2) The report must be given to the chief executive in the required way within 12 months after the rig release day for the well. (sec.16-ssec.3) The report must contain the following information— the type and number of the GHG tenure; the name and postal address of the operator of the well; the identifying name of the well; a summary of the information about the well in the report (commonly known as a ‘well card’); spatial information showing the location of the well; a geological summary of the area of the tenure; the reasons for the location of the well having regard to the geological structure of the surrounding area; a copy of each daily drilling report for the well; the ground level and kelly bushing level in metres for the well; the total depth in metres of the well; the following days— the day the drilling of the well started; the day the total depth of the well was reached; the rig release day for the well; details of the drilling rig, the number and type of drill bits, and the drilling fluids, used to drill the well; the status of the well on the rig release day; the surveyed path of the well; details of the casing and equipment installed in the well, with a diagram showing their location in the well; the type of any perforations in the well and the depth in metres of the top and bottom of the perforated intervals; details of the cementing in the well, including its location, the type of cement used and the depth in metres of the top and bottom of each cemented interval; a description of all tests or surveys carried out for drilling the well, including the depth in metres of the place or interval at which the testing was carried out; a geological interpretation of the well, including the stratigraphy of the rock units it intersects; an identification of the intervals intersected by the well that have the potential for GHG stream storage; an assessment of— the relevance of the well to the GHG stream storage potential within the vicinity of the well; and the implications of the well for the future management of any GHG storage reservoir to which the well relates; a description of each geological sample taken during the drilling of the well, including the depth in metres at which the sample was taken and the results of any analysis carried out for the sample; conventional cores and fluid samples, cuttings, sidewall cores an interpretation of the data obtained from the geophysical (or wireline) logs that have been run in the well; any other information stated in the relevant direction for the report. (sec.16-ssec.4) For a directional well, the report must also state the position of each of the following— the stratigraphic units intersected by the well; the bottom of the well; any intersection of the well with the following— another GHG well; a petroleum well; an exploration bore under the Geothermal Act . (sec.16-ssec.5) For subsection (4) , the position must be expressed using— the total vertical depth in metres; and the horizontal plane. (sec.16-ssec.6) The report must be accompanied by each of the following— a digital image of the cores taken during the drilling of the well; the raw data, in digital form, of each geophysical (or wireline) log that has been run in the well; a digital image of the graphic representations of the raw data mentioned in paragraph (b) . (sec.16-ssec.7) If the well is plugged and abandoned on or before the rig release day for the well, the report must be accompanied by a well abandonment report for the well.
