(a) Any fixed platform well with a casing pressure exceeding its maximum allowable wellhead operating pressure (MAWOP);(b) Any fixed platform well with a casing pressure that is greater than 100 psig and that cannot bleed to 0 psig through a 1/2-inch needle valve within 24 hours, or is not bled to 0 psig during a casing diagnostic test;(c) Any well that has demonstrated tubing/casing, tubing/riser, casing/casing, riser/casing, or riser/riser communication;(d) Any well that has sustained casing pressure (SCP) and is bled down to prevent it from exceeding its MAWOP, except during initial startup operations described in § 250.522 ;(e) Any hybrid well with casing or riser pressure exceeding 100 psig; or(f) Any subsea well with a casing pressure 100 psig greater than the external hydrostatic pressure at the subsea wellhead. 76 FR 64462 , Oct. 18, 2011.
