(a)
Step 1.
1. Well permit requirements as set forth in
Rule 400-1-2-.01 or
400-2-2-.01, whichever is
applicable for the drilling or conversion of a well for underground storage
purposes;
2. A plat, in triplicate,
prepared by a licensed land surveyor showing the location of the proposed
underground storage well. The plat shall be drawn to the scale of one (1) inch
equals one thousand (1,000) feet, unless otherwise stipulated by the Supervisor
and shall show distances from the proposed well to the nearest governmental
section lines. The plat shall show the direction of north, and the latitude and
longitude in decimal degrees to five (5) significant digits and state plane
coordinates of the proposed well. The plat shall also show the location and
status of all other wells that have been drilled within one-fourth (1/4) mile
of the proposed underground storage well;
3. A prognosis specifying the drilling,
completion, or conversion procedures for the proposed underground storage well;
and
4. A well bore sketch giving a
full description of the casing in the underground storage well, or the proposed
casing program, including a full description of cement already in place or as
proposed; and the proposed method of testing casing before use of the
underground storage well.
(b)
Step 2.
1. Permit application, Form OGB-1D,
Application for Permit to Inject Storage Gas;
2. A schematic diagram of the surface
injection system and its appurtenances;
3. A schematic of the underground storage
well showing the base of the deepest underground source of drinking water
(USDW), casing, cementing, tubing, and plug and packer records, a diagram of
the cavity, and the method and results of casing tests reported on Form OGB-7,
Well Record and Completion or Recompletion Report, before use of the
underground storage well;
4. A copy
of the sonar survey performed in the cavity;
5. An affidavit specifying that the source of
injected gas will be of pipeline quality;
6. The results of a mechanical-integrity test
of the well bore and cavity in accordance with the pressure test requirements
in Rule 400-6-7.01;
7. A
certificate, entitled "Certificate of Effectiveness", which shall contain a
statement that the storage operator has acquired by eminent domain or otherwise
all necessary ownership rights with respect to the storage facility, and the
date upon which the storage facility shall be effective;
8. Forms OGB-7 and OGB-8; and
9. Two (2) copies of all electrical,
mechanical, radioactive, and dipmeter logs or such other surveys performed as a
part of drilling, completing, or converting the underground storage well unless
previously submitted to the Board.
