The flow line must not contain any elbows.Ĩ. The use of Dresser™ sleeves or couplings is prohibited. The flow line must have a working pressure of at least 1,500 psig and be connected to the spool with a flanged connection. When drilling on air or drilling intentionally underbalanced on fluid, the flow line must be constructed of threaded and coupled or flanged connection tubular materials.
Securely anchored, pressure rated, steel jacketed co-flex hose, orħ. Rigid steel, welded from the flange spool to the choke line. The connecting line must have a pressure rating equal to or higher than the BOP and must be constructed of either: No elbows or T's are allowed, either at the wellhead or before the choke. A flanged choke manifold must be installed no closer than 25 feet from the wellhead. If DEC representative is not on location at the agreed time, the test may proceed with the results of the test and the name of the witness being noted in the driller's log.Ħ. 
The appropriate Regional Mineral Resources Office must be notified 6 hours prior to each test and a DEC representative may be present during the test.
#WILDCAT ALL TIMELY PLUS#
When intermediate casing is used, the BOP, choke manifold and intermediate casing must be tested to at least the maximum anticipated shut-in surface pressure plus a 5% safety factor prior to drilling out the intermediate casing shoe. The BOP, choke manifold and surface casing must be tested to a minimum of 1000 psi prior to drilling out the surface casing shoe, unless DEC grants a waiver in response to a written request from the Operator which demonstrates to DEC's satisfaction that: a) the well is proposed as a deep wildcat that will be drilled through an established, shallow, low pressure pool and b) the well will have an intermediate casing string that is the first string intended for well control purposes. The blowout preventer (BOP) must be actuated by a source other than rig hydraulics.ĥ.
Steel jacketed hoses made of highly flame-resistant or fireproof materials, or. All control lines must have flanged connections and be constructed of either: Blowout prevention equipment, either pipe and blind rams or a spherical annular type with a pressure rating of _ psig (to be determined by DEC based on site-specific conditions) must be installed on the wellhead. The Operator, or Operator's designated representative, must be on site when drilling operations place the drill bit 100 feet (True Vertical Depth) from the target formation and throughout the drilling of the target formation.Ĥ. The appropriate Regional Mineral Resources Office must be notified 6 hours prior to penetrating the target formation. The county emergency management office must be notified of the well's location and the potential operational hazards: a) prior to spudding the well, b) prior to penetrating a target formation, c) during any flaring while drilling, and d) prior to flaring for well clean-up, treatment or testing.ģ. The Operator must revise the prognosis and inform the drilling company in a timely manner if drilling reveals significant variation between anticipated and actual formations and pressures.Ģ. The prognosis must be reviewed by all crew members and posted in a prominent location in the doghouse. The Operator must provide the drilling company with a well prognosis indicating anticipated formation top depths with appropriate warning comments prior to spud.
