Current through Register Vol. 35, No. 23, December 10, 2024

Section 19.15.7.16 - WELL COMPLETION OR RECOMPLETION REPORT AND LOG (Form C-105)

A. Within 45 days following the completion or recompletion of a well, the operator shall file form C-105 with the division accompanied by a summary of special tests conducted on the well, including drill stem tests. In addition, the operator shall file a copy of electrical and radio-activity logs run on the well with form C-105. If the division does not receive form C-105 with attached logs and summaries within the specified 45-day period, the division shall withhold the allowable for the well or suspend injection authority, as appropriate, until the operator has complied with 19.15.7.16 NMAC.

B. In the case of a dry hole, a complete record of the well on form C-105 with the attachments listed in Subsection A of 19.15.7.16 NMAC shall accompany the notice of intention to plug the well, unless previously filed. The division shall not approve the plugging report or release the bond the operator has complied with 19.15.7.16 NMAC.

C. The division shall not keep form C-105 and accompanying attachments confidential unless the well's owner requests in writing that the division keep it confidential. Upon such request, the division shall keep these data confidential for 90 days from the date of the well's completion, provided, however, that the report, logs and other attached data may, when pertinent, be introduced in a public hearing before division examiners, the commission or in a court of law, regardless of the request that they be kept confidential.
