Section 165:10-15-18 - Production tests and reports for reservoir dewatering oil spacing units(a)Effective date for oil allowable. To establish the commencement date of an allowable for an oil well in a reservoir dewatering oil spacing unit, the operator shall file Forms 1002A and 1013, in lieu of the Form 1029A, with the Commission according to OAC 165:10-13-3 within thirty (30) days after the completion date of the well. The allowable will commence on the date of first production.(b)Qualification for reservoir dewatering unit. Proof of fifty percent (50%) water saturation presented at the time of a hearing to establish dewatering oil spacing may entail calculations from logs or core data from wells within the common source of supply covered by the application or an analogous common source of supply, or an actual production test from a well in the common source of supply covered by the application. To qualify for the reservoir dewatering spacing unit allowable provided on Appendix J, the Form 1013 must provide data that verifies that the water-oil ratio is greater than 1:1. If the water-oil ratio is less than 1:1, then the oil allowable shall be the appropriate allowable for the depth of the top of the formation and the maximum acreage provided in Appendix A.(c)Allowable rate not provided for in Appendix J. To establish an allowable other than that specified in Appendix J, the operator shall file a Form 1030 with the Commission to adjust the allowable.(d)Record of annual production rates. The operator shall maintain production records on an annual basis. Operators shall make these records available to the Conservation Division staff upon the request of the Manager of the Technical Department. Annual testing shall not be required except as provided in OAC 165:10-1-6.Okla. Admin. Code § 165:10-15-18
