sec.36 Petroleum well or bore completion report

If the drilling of petroleum well or bore under a petroleum tenure is completed, the tenure holder must lodge a report about the completion of the well or bore (a petroleum well or bore completion report ). The report must be lodged within 12 months after the rig release day for the well or bore. The report must contain the following information— the type and number of the petroleum tenure; the name and postal address of the operator of the well or bore; the identifying name of the well or bore; a summary of the well or bore including the information for the well or bore required under the practice direction; spatial information showing the location of the well or bore; the height reference in metres for the drilling rig used to drill the well or bore; the total depth in metres of the well or bore; the following days— the day the drilling of the well or bore started; the day the total depth of the well or bore was reached; the rig release day for the well or bore; details of the drilling rig, the number and type of drill bits, and the drilling fluids, used in the well or bore; the status of the well or bore on the rig release day; the surveyed path of the well or bore; details of the casing and equipment installed in the well or bore, with a diagram showing their location in the well or bore; the type of any perforations in the well or bore, the depth in metres of the top and bottom of the perforated intervals and the perforation spacing in metres; details of the cementing in the well or bore, 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 in the well or bore, the depth in metres where each test was carried out and the distance in metres between the top and bottom of each testing interval; a geological interpretation of the well or bore, including the stratigraphy of the rock units it intersects; an identification of the intervals in the well that have the potential to produce petroleum; the tenure holder’s reasons for choosing the location of the well or bore; any other data or information for the report required under the practice direction. 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 another petroleum well. For subsection (4) , the position must be expressed in relation to— 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 or bore; the raw data, in digital form, of each geophysical (or wireline) log that has been run in the well or bore; a digital image of the graphic representations of the raw data mentioned in paragraph (b) . If the petroleum well or bore is plugged and abandoned on or before the rig release day for the well or bore, the report must also contain the information stated in section 37 (4) . s 36 amd 2020 SL No. 208 s 13 (sec.36-ssec.1) If the drilling of petroleum well or bore under a petroleum tenure is completed, the tenure holder must lodge a report about the completion of the well or bore (a petroleum well or bore completion report ).
