Section 559.4 - Reporting requirements: periodic testing

(a) Starting with the year after the first year of production and during the last two weeks of a month prescribed by the department, the operator of a "Bass Island" well must annually measure static pressures at the midpoint of the production zone and at points 500 feet and 1,000 feet above that point. The department will notify operators at least 60 days in advance of the taking of those pressures that the respective "Bass Island" pool must be shut-in for a minimum period stated in the notice, not to exceed two weeks. The operator must make measurements as set forth in section 559.3(a) of this Part. That operator must file with the department on a form the department prescribes the results of those measurements no later than 30 days after the measurements were taken. The department may, on an administrative basis, revise the testing procedures or reduce the frequency or eliminate the tests under this subdivision when in its judgment, revision, reduction, or elimination is indicated.

(b)

(1) The provisions of this subdivision supersede those contained in section 551.2(b) of this Title that concern production reports, and in section 556.1(d)-(e) of this Title that concern gas-oil ratio test reports.

(2) The operator of a "Bass Island" well must file with the department on a form the department prescribes a report of the oil and gas produced from that well. The report must provide a statement of the actual amount of oil and gas produced from the well during each of the three months to which the report pertains; must state the actual number of days in each of those months the well was on production; and must set forth the operator's calculation of the gas-oil ratios for that well for each period in each month during which oil and gas was produced and for the three-month period the report covers. The operator must file this report no later than 60 calendar days after the end of the three-month period to which it pertains.
