sec.44 Production testing report

This section applies if production testing for a petroleum well is carried out under a petroleum tenure. The tenure holder must lodge a production testing report for the relevant testing period. The report must be lodged within 60 business days after the relevant testing period ends. The report must contain the following information— the type and number of the tenure; the identifying name of the petroleum well; an identification of each natural underground reservoir and the reservoir formation (or geological unit) from which petroleum was produced as part of the production testing; the duration of the production testing carried out during the period; the type of any perforations in the well and the depth in metres of the top and bottom of the perforated intervals; the volumes, or estimated volumes, of gas, oil and water produced from the testing during the period; the choke size used for the well; the density of any oil produced from the testing during the period, measured using the American Petroleum Institute’s scale of measuring the specific gravity of oil, commonly known as the ‘API gravity’ of the oil; the pressure in the well, measured during the period, at which petroleum can not escape from the wellhead, commonly known as the ‘shut-in pressure’ of the well; if petroleum in a gaseous state was produced during the testing— details of the use, or intended use, of the petroleum; and for an authorised activity for the petroleum tenure, flaring, venting, processing the volume, or estimated volume, of the petroleum used, or intended to be used, other than by flaring or venting; data in relation to samples, and the analysis of the samples, taken from the area of the tenure; any other data or information for the report required under the practice direction. In this section— end day , for production testing for a petroleum well, means— if the well intersects a natural underground reservoir containing coal seam gas, shale gas, tight gas or basin-centred gas and the testing relates to petroleum produced from the reservoir—the day that is 13 months after the testing starts; or otherwise—the day that is 6 months after the testing starts. production testing means testing for petroleum production from a petroleum well within the area of the petroleum tenure. relevant testing period means— the period starting on the first day production testing for the petroleum well is carried out and ending on the earlier of— the end day; or the last day the testing is carried out; and if the production testing is carried out after the end day with the Minister’s approval—the period starting on the day after the end day and ending on the last day the testing is carried out. s 44 amd 2020 SL No. 208 s 20 (sec.44-ssec.1) This section applies if production testing for a petroleum well is carried out under a petroleum tenure. (sec.44-ssec.2) The tenure holder must lodge a production testing report for the relevant testing period. (sec.44-ssec.3) The report must be lodged within 60 business days after the relevant testing period ends. (sec.44-ssec.4) The report must contain the following information— the type and number of the tenure; the identifying name of the petroleum well; an identification of each natural underground reservoir and the reservoir formation (or geological unit) from which petroleum was produced as part of the production testing; the duration of the production testing carried out during the period; the type of any perforations in the well and the depth in metres of the top and bottom of the perforated intervals; the volumes, or estimated volumes, of gas, oil and water produced from the testing during the period; the choke size used for the well; the density of any oil produced from the testing during the period, measured using the American Petroleum Institute’s scale of measuring the specific gravity of oil, commonly known as the ‘API gravity’ of the oil; the pressure in the well, measured during the period, at which petroleum can not escape from the wellhead, commonly known as the ‘shut-in pressure’ of the well; if petroleum in a gaseous state was produced during the testing— details of the use, or intended use, of the petroleum; and for an authorised activity for the petroleum tenure, flaring, venting, processing the volume, or estimated volume, of the petroleum used, or intended to be used, other than by flaring or venting; data in relation to samples, and the analysis of the samples, taken from the area of the tenure; any other data or information for the report required under the practice direction. (sec.44-ssec.5) In this section— end day , for production testing for a petroleum well, means— if the well intersects a natural underground reservoir containing coal seam gas, shale gas, tight gas or basin-centred gas and the testing relates to petroleum produced from the reservoir—the day that is 13 months after the testing starts; or otherwise—the day that is 6 months after the testing starts. production testing means testing for petroleum production from a petroleum well within the area of the petroleum tenure. relevant testing period means— the period starting on the first day production testing for the petroleum well is carried out and ending on the earlier of— the end day; or the last day the testing is carried out; and if the production testing is carried out after the end day with the Minister’s approval—the period starting on the day after the end day and ending on the last day the testing is carried out.
