Rule 26-2-1.23 - WELL COMPLETION AND RECOMPLETION(a) Within thirty (30) days after the completion or recompletion of a well drilled for oil or gas, a completion report on Form No. 3 shall be filed with the Board. Immediately thereafter the Board shall, if such well is a producer, designate the well as an oil or a gas well.(b) The detail of formations penetrated information on the reverse side of Form 3 shall be completed prior to submission of the Form 3 provided, however, that required core analysis data, of the type normally furnished by commercial laboratories, and drill stem test data may be submitted under separate cover and requested to be held confidential, provided, however, such core analysis data and drill stem test data obtained on stratigraphic tests shall be filed with the Board within six (6) months of well completion. Such request shall be noted on the reverse of the Form 3. Such data will be kept confidential for a period of six (6) months from the date the Form 3 is filed, or should have been filed. If subsequently requested by the person filing said data, the Supervisor shall extend the period of confidentiality an additional six (6) months or for stratigraphic tests, from the date the data is filed. The Board may, after notice and hearing, grant an additional extension of the confidentiality period.(c) No well permitted as a stratigraphic test or core hole drilled below freshwater level shall be completed as a producing well until an application is filed and a permit is granted in the same manner and form as provided by applicable rules and regulations for applications and permits for drilling for oil and gas with proper indication being made on said application and permit that the well in question has been drilled as a stratigraphic test or core hole below freshwater level. The well shall be subject to all rules and regulations applicable to wells drilled in search of oil and gas.MCA Section 53-1-17(3) (1972)
