Current through all regulations passed and filed through December 16, 2024
In addition to the information required in accordance with
rules 3745-34-12 and
3745-34-13 of the Administrative
Code, the owner shall include the following in a permit application for a
permit to drill a class I injection well:
(A) The final report on the seismic
reflection data survey in compliance with rule
3745-34-40 of the Administrative
Code.
(B) Well construction. The
owner shall submit the following information for a permit to drill application:
(1) A plan for the testing, drilling and
construction of the proposed new class I injection well. Whenever required by
the director to protect the public welfare or to safeguard life, health, or
property, or whenever the contemplated expenditure by the state, any of its
political subdivisions, or any municipal corporation for the completed project
exceeds five thousand dollars, plans for the design of new class I wells shall
be prepared by a professional engineer registered under Chapter 4733. of the
Revised Code. In addition, for projects containing a high degree of complexity,
non-standard technology, unusual features, or deviations from standards or
guidelines used by the agency, the director may require that the owner or
operator demonstrate the knowledge and experience of the project
designer.
(2) A schematic or other
appropriate drawings of the proposed well with proper setting depths, including
wellhead and gauges and a written description of the proposed surface and
subsurface construction details of the well including all of the following:
(b) Surface casing, intermediate, long string
casing, and injection tubing packer information, including all of the
following:
(ix) Joint specification.
(x) Construction material.
(xi) Tubing tensile, burst, and collapse
strength.
(3)
A written demonstration that for the design life of the well the casings,
including any casing connections, are rated to have sufficient structural
strength to withstand:
(a) The maximum burst
and collapse pressures which may be experienced during the construction,
operation, and closure of the well.
(b) The maximum tensile strength which may be
experienced at any point along the length of the casing during the
construction, operation, and closure of the well.
(4) Cement data, including the proposed type
and class, additives, amount, and circulate for the surface casing, long
string, and other casings.
(5) A
description of the packer including all of the following:
(b) Name and model number.
(d) Compatibility with proposed annular fluid
and proposed injection fluid.
(6) A description of the proposed bottom hole
completion.
(7) A plan for the
proposed stimulation program.
(8)
Construction procedures including a cementing and casing program, logging
procedures, deviation checks, and a drilling, testing, and coring program.
These procedures should address the applicable factors and requirements in
rules 3745-34-37, 3745-34-54, and
3745-34-55 of the Administrative
Code.
(9) A written analysis
demonstrating that the various parts of the casing, tubing, and cement will be
compatible with or resistant to corrosion from the formation fluid and
injection fluids to which they will respectively be exposed.
(10) Procedures for core analysis, if
performed, including analysis for at least:
(e) Sieve analysis of sand.
(f) Compatibility testing of cores with waste
stream for permeability reduction.
(C) Proposed formation testing program to
obtain analysis of the chemical, physical and radiological characteristics of
the receiving formation including, but not limited to:
(4) Physical and chemical characteristics of
the injection matrix.
(5)
Compatibility of the injected fluids with the formation fluids.
(7) Other applicable information.
(D) Procedures for performing
deviation checks in compliance with paragraph (D)(1) of rule
3745-34-37 of the Administrative
Code.
(E) Procedures for performing
the logging and testing requirements of paragraph (D) of rule
3745-34-37 of the Administrative
Code.
(F) Procedures, forms, and
methods for collecting all of the following information:
(1) Drilling and completion records
including:
(b) Driller's log or record of strata.
(c) Casing and tubing records.
(e)
Detailed screen and liner setting.
(f)
Details of centralizers, scratchers, and other such equipment.
(g) Engineering drawings of:
(ii) Packer assembly and setting
(iii) Well head parts list.
(2) Testing records
including the following:
(a) Well testing:
(ii) Bottom hole temperature and pressure.
(iii) Injectivity test result; permeability
determination; reservoir limits and storage.
(iv) Spinner or tracer surveys.
(v) Casing testing results including those to
demonstrate mechanical integrity pursuant to the requirements of rule
3745-34-34 of the Administrative
Code.
(b) Laboratory
testing results:
(i) Cores for
permeability.
(ii)
Cores for compatibility.
(iii)
Cores for porosity.
