Rule 26-2-1.24 - WELL LOGS(a) At least one electric log shall be run in each well and shall be filed with the Board within thirty (30) days of completion of the well, with Form 3, or within 60 days after log is run, whichever is the earlier date. This will include an electrical correlation log consisting of the spontaneous potential or gamma ray and induction resistivity surveys, or equivalent, and covering that portion of the wellbore from total depth to the base of the surface casing, specifically displayed on a one inch: one hundred foot scale, a two inch: one hundred foot scale and a five inch: one hundred foot scale. One copy of all additional open hole electrical, mechanical and radioactive logs run in the well shall be filed with the Board within said filing period, provided, however, that logs obtained on stratigraphic tests shall be filed with the Board within six (6) months. This shall not include any interpretative, computer-analyzed or computer-interpreted logs run in the well. It shall, however, include the raw data curves from a dipmeter if run in the well. The Supervisor of the Board may, for good cause and at the discretion of the Supervisor, waive the requirement that one electric log be run from total depth to the base of the surface casing.(b) If requested by the person filing, the data filed in accord with subsection (a) above shall be kept confidential for a period of six (6) months from the date on which it should have been filed. If subsequently requested in writing by the person filing said data, the Supervisor shall extend the period of confidentiality an additional six (6) months, for a total period of confidentiality not to exceed one (1) year from the date it should have been filed. The Board may, after notice and hearing, grant an additional extension of the confidentiality period.(c) At the expiration of time in which any log or logs shall be held as confidential by the Board as provided under subsection (b) above, said log or logs shall be placed in the open files of the Board and any party or firm shall have the right to examine and/or request copies of said logs or surveys to be reproduced by photography or other means not injurious to said logs or surveys. Any party or firm requesting reproduced copies of logs or surveys shall file a written request with the Supervisor specifying the logs or surveys to be copied. Upon written approval from the Supervisor, the reproduction work shall be done by proper employees of the State Oil and Gas Board. The cost of reproduction shall be established by the Board on a per page, per inch, per foot, or other established and published cost basis. Under no circumstances shall the Board's file copies of logs or surveys be allowed to be removed from the Board files by any party or firm who is not an employee of the Board. Use and reproduction of logs and surveys shall be in accordance with the statement of general policy in effect at that time.MCA Section 53-1-17(3) (1972)
