Schedule 8 — Well completion report
[r. 73(1)]
| 2. | The Authorisation For Expenditure (AFE) cost and the final cost of the well. | | 4. | The name of the instrument area in which the well is located. | | 5. | The purpose of the well activity (for example, development, appraisal, exploration or stratigraphy). | | 6. | The status of the well (for example, producing, injecting, suspended or decommissioned). | | 7. | The location of the well, in the form of —<br>(a)the geodetic datum, elevation, latitude and longitude of the well; and<br>(b)the basin and sub‑basin (if applicable) in which the well is located; and<br>(c)the map sheet name and graticular block number; and<br>(d)the seismic line location and shotpoint number or other geophysical location identifier (for example, gravity survey station). | | 8. | The results of a check survey of the location of —<br>(a)for a subsea well — the well‑head; and<br>(b)in any other case — the top of the casing supporting the blow‑out preventer. | | 9. | Either —<br>(a)the spud date; or<br>(b)if the well is a sidetrack — the kick‑off date. | | 10. | The rig release date. | | 11. | What is being used as the depth reference for the well (for example, the rotary table or the rig floor). | | 12. | The height of the depth reference above sea level or the Australian Height Datum. | | 13. | The water depth or ground depth at the well. | | 14. | The measured depth of the well. | | 15. | The true vertical depth of the well. | | 16. | The measured depth and true vertical depth of marker horizons or formation tops. | | 17. | If applicable, the coordinates and true vertical depth of the intersection of the well with the underground formation horizon or the storage formation. | | 18. | If applicable, the depth of perforation in the resources pool or the storage formation. | | 19. | The date on which the total depth was reached. | | 20. | The coordinates of the bottom of the well bore. | | 21. | The surveyed path of the well. | | 22. | If the well is a sidetrack — the name of the parent well. | | 23. | The name of the drilling contractor. | | 24. | The name of the rig drilling the well. | | 25. | The rig’s make and model. | | 26. | A list of log runs for wireline logging and velocity surveys. | | 27. | 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. | | 28. | The names of MWD and LWD tools used. | | 29. | Details of equipment and casing installed on or in the well, including schematics. | | 30. | If applicable, information on cementing operations and schematics of decommissioning. | | 31. | Bit records. | | 32. | Drilling fluids used. | | 33. | Drilling fluid losses. | | 34. | A list of cores, cuttings and samples taken, and their depths and intervals. | | 35. | The results of any analysis of cores, cuttings or samples that has been carried out. | | 36. | Geological interpretations of the observations made as a result of drilling the well, including —<br>(a)structure; and<br>(b)lithology; and<br>(c)stratigraphy; and<br>(d)underground formation properties and quality; and<br>(e)geochemistry of source rocks if available; and<br>(f)environment of deposition if available. | | 37. | Palynology reports and results. | | 38. | Wireline formation analysis and processing results. | | 39. | Petrographic descriptions. | | 40. | Well test reporting and associated digital data. | | 41. | If the well is an exploration well — the relevance of the observations and interpretations to the evaluation of the petroleum, regulated substance or GHG storage potential of the instrument area. | | 42. | Details of any indication of petroleum or regulated substance. | | 43. | Raw pressure‑time listings for any formation fluid sample tests and production tests. |
