Abstract: The regulations at 30 CFR part 250, subpart K, concern Oil and Gas Production Requirements (including the associated forms) and are the subject of this collection. This request also covers any related Notices to Lessees and Operators (NTLs) that BSEE issues to clarify, supplement, or provide additional guidance on some aspects of our regulations. The information collected under Subpart K is used in our efforts to conserve natural resources, prevent waste, and protect correlative rights, including the Government’s royalty interest. Specifically, BSEE uses the information to: • Evaluate requests to burn liquid hydrocarbons and vent and flare gas to ensure that these requests are appropriate; • determine if a maximum production or efficient rate is required; and, • review applications for downhole commingling to ensure that action does not result in harm to ultimate recovery. The forms used in this ICR are: lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1 Form BSEE–0126, Well Potential Test Report BSEE uses this information for reservoir, reserves, and conservation analyses, including the determination of maximum production rates (MPRs) when necessary for certain oil and gas completions. This requirement implements the conservation provisions of the OCS Lands Act and 30 CFR 250. The information obtained from the well potential test is essential to determine if an MPR is necessary for a well and to establish the appropriate rate. It is not possible to specify an MPR in the absence of information about the production rate capability (potential) of the well. The form asks for, in either fill in the blanks or check marks: • General information about the well and the company; • pertinent information relating to the well test; and • 24-hour rates pertaining to test production.

This information is collected to determine the capability of hydrocarbon wells and to evaluate and verify an operator’s approved maximum production rate if assigned. The form was designed to present current well data on a semiannual basis to permit the updating of permissible producing rates, and to provide the basis for estimates of currently remaining recoverable gas reserves. The form requires, in either fill in the blanks or check marks: • General information about the well; • volumes; • choke size; • pressures; • production method; • API oil/condensate gravity; and • date of test.
