Summary


The proposed rule amendment pertains to a proposed directionally drilled well with a surface location to occur outside the tolerances established by board rule or board order. If the well operator files a certification that such a well will not be perforated and completed in any zone outside of the noted tolerances, and thus not produced from the zones outside of the tolerances, then the division may approve such an application, and the well would not require exception location approval. The amendment primarily affects Section R649-3-11 and also includes a cross-reference within Section R649-3-3.
