Section 19.14.57.9 - FOR INACTIVE OR TEMPORARILY ABANDONED WELLS

Form G-106, geothermal resources well summary report, shall be filed in triplicate for every geothermal resources well, except thermal gradient wells, not on active producing or injection or disposal status within 90 days after cessation of active drilling operations. The owner or operator of the well shall state on the form the general results of the well's condition, i.e., whether the well is capable of production of geothermal resources and will be retained for such purpose, whether the well will be used for injection or disposal purposes, whether the well has been or will be plugged and abandoned or what other disposition of the well is to be made. A summary of the well's casing and cementing program shall be shown on the form, and in case the well is to be retained for production, injection or disposal purposes, the total mass flow in pounds per hour, flowing temperature in degrees fahrenheit, and flowing pressure in pounds per square inch gauge. Distribution of form G-106 for inactive or temporarily abandoned wells shall be one copy to the New Mexico bureau of mines, one copy to the United States geological survey and one copy retained by the division. If form G-106 is filed for an inactive or temporarily abandoned well, and the well later goes on active production or injection, refiling of form G-106 completely filled in accordance with Rule G-206-A [now 19.14.57.8 NMAC] above is required.
