303 Requirement for final well completion report and data
(1) A greenhouse gas titleholder who undertakes drilling operations in a title area must give the Minister a final well completion report and all final well completion data within—
(a) 12 months after the rig release date; or
(b) if the Minister authorises the greenhouse gas titleholder to give the report and data within another period—the other period.
final well completion data means each type of data mentioned in an item in Schedule 8—
(b) presented on another medium or in another format which the Minister has authorised the greenhouse gas titleholder to use;
final well completion report means a report that includes all of the information listed in subregulation (3).
(3) For the purposes of the definition of final well completion report in subregulation (2), the information required is set out in the following Table.
| 3 | The location of the well, in the form of—<br> (a) latitude and longitude; and<br> (b) map sheet name and graticular block number; and<br> (c) seismic line location and shotpoint number | | 4 | If the well is a sidetrack—the name of the parent well | | 5 | The names of the rig contractor and rig operator | | 6 | The name of the rig drilling the well | | 7 | The rig's make and model | | 8 | The names of the contractors for—<br> (a) cementing; and<br> (b) wireline logging; and<br> (c) measurements while drilling (MWD); and<br> (d) logging while drilling (LWD); and<br> (e) mudlogging | | 9 | The purpose of the well (for example development, appraisal, exploration or stratigraphy) | | 10 | The outcome of the well operation (for example completion of the well as an injector, suspension or abandonment) | | 11 | Raw pressure-time listings for any formation fluid sample tests and production tests | | 12 | The spud date | | 13 | The rig release date | | 14 | What is being used as the depth reference for the well (for example the Kelly bushing or the rig floor) | | 15 | The height of the depth reference above sea level | | 16 | The water depth at the well | | 17 | The measured depth of the well | | 18 | The true vertical depth of the well | | 19 | If applicable, the depth of perforation in the storage formation | | 20 | The date on which the total depth was reached | | 21 | If the well is deviated or horizontal—<br> (a) the surveyed path of the well; and<br> (b) the coordinates of the bottom of the well bore; and<br> (c) if applicable, the coordinates and true vertical depth of the intersection of the well with the storage formation | | 22 | Particulars of equipment and casing installed on or in the well, including schematics | | 23 | Bit records | | 24 | Drilling fluids used | | 25 | Drilling fluid losses | | 26 | List of cores, cuttings and samples taken, and their depths and intervals | | 27 | List of logs acquired | | 28 | Details of any hydrocarbon indications | | 29 | The measured depth and true vertical depth of marker horizons or formation tops | | 30 | Geological interpretations of the observations made as a result of drilling the well, including—<br> (a) lithology; and<br> (b) stratigraphy; and<br> (c) storage formation properties and quality; and<br> (d) geochemistry of formation rocks if available; and<br> (e) environment of deposition if available |
