Drilling Permits Statewide Rule 37 & 38 Exceptions Lorenzo Garza

Drilling Permits and Online Filing - Advanced

Drilling Permits and Online Filing - Advanced SWR 37 & 38 terminology you should know. OFFSET- Refers to the operator, lessee, or un-leased mineral owner of a tract that is adjacent to your lease/pooled unit. The type of exception being applied for will dictate which offsets you will be required to notify or supply waivers for.

Drilling Permits and Online Filing - Advanced SWR 37 & 38 terminology you should know. WAIVER- A letter signed by an identified offset. In that letter the offset is requested to waive their right to protest the granting of the needed exception. Basic information required Information on waiver must match permit application We will not accept waivers older than 6 months

Drilling Permits and Online Filing - Advanced Example of generic waiver

Drilling Permits and Online Filing - Advanced SWR 37 & 38 terminology you should know. SERVICE LIST- List of identified affected offsets that need to be notified concerning the applicant needing to gain an exception to a SWR. The list should include the name and addresses of the affected parties.

Drilling Permits and Online Filing - Advanced SWR 37 & 38 terminology you should know. UNAFFECTED- For lease spacing exceptions can be used when offset is located in another state or country. For between well exceptions can be used if supporting information is approved by RRC Technical Examiner. Information needed will be explained later.

Drilling Permits and Online Filing - Advanced SWR 37 LEASE LINE AND WELL SPACING EXCEPTIONS What triggers a SWR 37 lease line exception? Vertical well- distance from this location to the nearest lease line. Directional well- distance from the Bottom Hole Location (BHL) to the nearest lease line. Horizontal well- distance from the closest point of the well that is within the correlative interval of the field you are applying for to the nearest lease line

Drilling Permits and Online Filing - Advanced SWR 37 LEASE LINE AND WELL SPACING EXCEPTIONS What triggers a SWR 37 lease line exception? SWR 86 Field –Horizontal well distance from the closest point of the well that is within the correlative interval of the field you are applying for to the nearest lease line typically represented by that portion of well from Penetration Point to Terminus location. Special Field Rules-Horizontal well Distance from the closest point of the well that is within the correlative interval of the field you are applying for to the nearest lease line from the first take point through the wellbore path to the last take point.

Drilling Permits and Online Filing - Advanced Plat requirements For Lease Line SWR 37 exception The plat must clearly show all offset interests within whichever is greatest between the lease line spacing or half of the between well spacing for the field in question. Example: LL = 467’ BW= 1200’ so half of BW = 600’ this value is greater than 467’ so offsets within 600’ of well location must be shown on plat. Vertical well – from location of the well Directional well – from the BHL of the well Horizontal well- portion of well within the correlative interval All plats used for SWR exceptions must be certified with a surveyors stamp or signature from operator representative.

Drilling Permits and Online Filing - Advanced Plat requirements For Lease Line SWR 37 exception Special horizontal field rules- dual lease line provisions The plat must clearly show all offset interests within the prescribed heel and toe distances and within the minimum lease line distance along the well bore path Example: Heel and Toe = 100’ BW= 0’ Standard distance is 330’ then when SWR 37 is triggered offsets within 100’ of heel and toe must be identified as well as offsets within the standard distance along the wellbore path. In this case 330’ of the well. All plats used for SWR exceptions must be certified with a surveyors stamp or signature from operator representative.

Drilling Permits and Online Filing - Advanced W-1 A CAN BE USED TO GET THE FIRST WELL ON A LEASE OR THE LAST WELL.

Drilling Permits and Online Filing - Advanced HOW DOES THE W-1A WORK If the date that the tract took its size and shape is prior to the field rules going into effect a permit can be granted on sub-standard acreage. If this is the last well on the lease and you have the specified tolerance acreage available and the tract took its size and shape prior to the field rules going into effect then a permit can be granted on sub-standard acreage.

Drilling Permits and Online Filing - Advanced Important things to remember: Lease line spacing and between well determination based on BHL

Drilling Permits and Online Filing - Advanced Important things to remember: Distance to the nearest lease line and between well spacing based on wellbore in the productive zone Lease line spacing and between well determination based on BHL

Drilling Permits and Online Filing - Advanced Important things to remember: To ensure un-interrupted processing Make sure you file a certified plat that clearly shows the affected offsets. If filing in fields with special horizontal rules make sure that if you know an exception is needed that you manually flag your application. Lastly call us if you have any questions before you file the application.
