Section 62C-27.010 - Deviation Tests(1) A directional survey or equivalent shall be run to total depth and a certified copy filed with the Department on all Type I and productive Type II wells when the inclination survey is insufficient to demonstrate that the bottom hole location conforms to Rule 62C-26.004, F.A.C. For non-productive Type I Wells, total depth shall mean within 500 feet of the target formation.(2) No well shall be produced, except for testing, unless its bottom hole location conforms to its permit. If a well is drilled as a standard location in accordance with Rule 62C-26.004, F.A.C., but the bottom hole location wanders outside of the approved limit then it shall be treated as a nonroutine location and subsection 62C-26.004(5), F.A.C., shall apply. In such a case the operator must obtain a new permit or have the existing permit amended accordingly. Until the new location is approved the well may not be produced except as noted above.(3) The Department may require the operator of any well to run a directional survey whenever the Department determines that there is a reasonable need to do so.Fla.
