Chapter 3 - OIL AND GAS DIVISION
Section 3.55 - Reports on Gas Wells Commingling Liquid Hydrocarbons before Metering
Current through Reg. 49, No. 12; March 22, 2024
(a) When the full well stream from a gas well is moved to a plant or central separation facilities, and the liquid hydrocarbons produced by two or more wells are commingled without being measured or metered from each gas well, the operator of each well so producing shall periodically file with the commission, as provided for in this section, a report showing the following information for each well:
(b) Tests.
(c) The results of each test shall be submitted in duplicate on the appropriate commission form to the proper commission district office not later than the 15th day of each month following the month in which the test is made. The tests shall be required when the conditions set out in the first paragraph of this section exist, regardless of whether or not the conditions are an exception to § RSA 3.26 of this title (relating to Separating Devices, Tanks, and Surface Commingling of Oil) (Statewide Rule 26). The tests shall not be required, however, in any reservoir in which 100% of the operating and royalty ownership has been unitized.
(d) This section does not purport to alter any procedure for periodic tests of gas wells that has previously been approved by the commission. If test periods agreed upon by the interested parties have not been approved by the commission, and if the periods agreed upon differ from the test periods provided for in this section, alternative testing periods may be approved by the commission upon application.
