Title 0400 - Environment and Conservation
Subtitle 0400-52 - Drilling, Re-Entering, Plugging and Abandoning Exploratory and Exploitation Oil and Gas Wells (Transferred from 1040-02)
Chapter 0400-52-05 - Well Identification (Transferred from 1040-02-05)
Section 0400-52-05-.01 - POSTING A SIGN

No well shall be placed in production, shut-in, or left unplugged until a sign has been posted on the well location. All wells shall display a sign showing the operator name and telephone number, well name and number, and permit number. The mailing address and telephone number of the Department shall also appear on the sign. The sign shall be at a minimum 81/2 inches in height by 11 inches in width, made of durable material and be legible. If the tank battery serving a particular well is not within sight of that particular well, then a sign shall also be posted at a good conspicuous location at the tank battery for each well for which production is gauged individually. Where a number of wells on the same lease produce into a common tank battery, only one sign is required, and should show the name of the lease and well numbers, rather than individual permit numbers. The obligation to maintain legible signs remains until the well is plugged and abandoned.

Authority: T.C.A §§ 60-1-201 et seq., and 4-5-201 et seq.
