58 Pa. Stat. § 601.301
Any person who is injecting gas into or storing gas in a storage reservoir which is not under or within 3,000 linear feet but is less than 10,000 linear feet from an operating coal mine which is operating in a coal seam that extends over the storage reservoir or the reservoir protective area shall file such map and data within such time in excess of 60 days as the department may fix or as otherwise prescribed by regulation.
Any person who proposes to inject or store gas in a storage reservoir located as above shall file the required map and data with the department not less than six months prior to the starting of actual injection or storage.
The map provided for herein shall be prepared by a competent engineer or competent geologist. It shall show the stratum or strata in which the existing or proposed storage reservoir is or is to be located, the geographic location of the outside boundaries of the said storage reservoir and reservoir protective area, the location of all known oil or gas wells within the reservoir or within 3,000 linear feet thereof, which have been drilled into or through the storage stratum indicating which of these wells have been or are to be cleaned out and plugged or reconditioned for storage and also indicating the proposed location of all additional wells which are to be drilled within the storage reservoir or within 3,000 linear feet thereof.
The following information, if available, shall be furnished for all known oil or gas wells which have been drilled into or through the storage stratum within the storage reservoir or within 3,000 linear feet thereof: name of the operator, date drilled, total depth, depth of production if the well was productive of oil or gas, the initial rock pressure and volume, the depths at which all coal seams were encountered and a copy of the driller's log or other similar information. At the time of the filing of the aforesaid maps and data, such person shall file a detailed statement of what efforts he has made to determine that the wells shown on said map are accurately located thereon and that, to the best of his knowledge, they are all the oil or gas wells which have ever been drilled into or below the storage stratum within the proposed storage reservoir or within the reservoir protective area. This statement shall also include information as to whether or not the initial injection is for testing purposes, the maximum pressure at which injection and storage of gas is contemplated and a detailed explanation of the methods to be used or which, theretofore, have been used in drilling, cleaning out, reconditioning and plugging wells in the storage reservoir or within the reservoir protective area. The map and data required to be filed hereunder shall be amended or supplemented semiannually in case any material changes have occurred. The department may require a storage operator to amend or supplement such map or data at more frequent intervals if material changes have occurred justifying such earlier filing.
Any person who, after the effective date of this chapter, proposes to inject or store gas in a storage reservoir in an area not covered by subsection (a) by a process other than that of secondary recovery or gas recycling shall file the required map and data with the department not less than six months prior to the starting of actual injection or storage.
The map provided for herein shall be prepared by a competent engineer or competent geologist. It shall show the stratum or strata in which the existing or proposed storage reservoir is or is to be located, the geographic location of the outside boundaries of the said storage reservoir, the location of all known oil or gas wells within the reservoir or within 3,000 linear feet thereof, which have been drilled into or through the storage stratum, indicating which of these wells have been or are to be cleaned out and plugged or reconditioned for storage and also indicating the proposed location of all additional wells which are to be drilled within the storage reservoir or within 3,000 linear feet thereof.
The following information, if available, shall be furnished for all known oil or gas wells which have been drilled into or through the storage stratum within the storage reservoir or within 3,000 linear feet thereof: name of the operator, date drilled, total depth, depth of production if the well was productive of oil or gas, the initial rock pressure and volume and a copy of the driller's log or other similar information. At the time of the filing of the aforesaid maps and data, such person shall file a detailed statement of what efforts he has made to determine that the wells shown on said map are accurately located thereon and that, to the best of that person's knowledge, they are all the oil or gas wells which have ever been drilled into or below the storage stratum within the proposed storage reservoir. This statement shall also include information as to whether or not the initial injection is for testing purposes, the maximum pressure at which injection and storage of gas is contemplated and a detailed explanation of the methods to be used or which, theretofore, have been used in drilling, cleaning out, reconditioning and plugging wells in the storage reservoir. The map and data required to be filed hereunder shall be amended or supplemented semiannually in case any material changes have occurred. The department may require a storage operator to amend or supplement such map or data at more frequent intervals if material changes have occurred justifying such earlier filing.
