Rule 2371.
(1) A permittee of a well shall
conduct a directional well survey on each directionally drilled well, with
actual survey points taken at suitable intervals from the point of deviation to
total depth to enable the course and the end point of the borehole to be
determined, or at intervals as approved by the supervisor of mineral wells or
authorized representative of the supervisor of mineral wells. All information
obtained during and after the survey shall be available to the supervisor of
mineral wells or authorized representative of the supervisor of mineral wells.
A permittee shall file a certified copy of the survey with the supervisor of
mineral wells within 30 days after drilling completion, except as provided in
subrule (2) of this rule. A well shall not be utilized for the purpose for
which it was permitted until the survey has been filed with the supervisor of
mineral wells.
(2) If a test well is drilled in an
area of the state where rocks of precambrian age directly underlie
unconsolidated surface deposits or in those areas that have been designated by
the provisions of section 62508(c) of the act, an owner shall file the
information required in subrule (1) of this rule within 2 years after drilling
completion.
