Current through Vol. 42, No. 4, November 1, 2024

Section 165:10-3-37 - Control of multiply completed wells

(a) Every multiply completed well shall be equipped, operated, produced, and maintained so that there will be no commingling of the production from separate common sources of supply in the well, except as hereinafter provided. The production from each common source of supply shall be separately accounted for or separately stored and measured on the lease. The production shall be measured by either:

(1) A positive displacement dump-type device;

(2) A continuous-flow measuring device; or

(3) A measuring device of any other type authorized by the Commission.

(b) Each application for the approval of production through a multiple choke assembly in a well shall be filed with the Technical Services Department on Form 1023. The multiple choke assembly must be so designed and located in the wellbore as to prevent commingling within the common sources of supply, but to permit commingling in the tubing string through individual choke orifices. The commingled production shall be measured at the surface and allocated to each common source of supply.

(c) A copy of the application shall be mailed or delivered to each operator of a producing leasehold within one-half (1/2) mile of the well location. The applicant shall file an affidavit of delivery or mailing not later than five days after the application is filed.

(d) If a written objection to the application is filed within 15 days after the application is filed, or if hearing is required by the Commission, the application shall be set for hearing and notice thereof shall be given as the Commission shall direct. If no objection is filed and the Commission does not require a hearing, the matter shall be reviewed administratively by the Director of Conservation or his designee. If the Conservation Division denies an application, the applicant may request a hearing on said application.
