Plugging Extension Applications (Form W-3X) Statewide Rule 15: Plugging Extension Applications (Form W-3X) Presenter: Mysti Doshier

Inactive Well Plugging Extensions Rule 14: Plugging operations on each dry or inactive well shall be commenced within a period of one year after drilling or operations cease . . . unless the Commission or its delegate approves a plugging extension under Rule 15.

Inactive Well Extension Requirements Operator has a current organization report. Well in compliance with RRC rules and orders. Operator has a good faith claim to a continuing right to operate the well. For Inactive Land Wells (Bay/Offshore wells are excluded): Completion of required surface equipment cleanup/removal and certification on Form W-3C Application for plugging extension and qualification on Form W-3X

Application for Plugging Extension Operator of an inactive land well must apply for a plugging extension by filing Form W-3X. Operator must qualify for an extension under one of several options. - Three “Blanket” options - Five “Individual Well” options

Cost Calculation “Cost Calculation”: Estimated plugging cost based on the average per-foot cost, by district, for state funded plugging operations in the previous fiscal year. Multiply that per-foot cost times the well depth according to Commission records. http://www.rrc.state.tx.us/compliance/hb2259/HB2259-CostCalculation.pdf

Application for Plugging Extension “Blanket” options: 10% plugged/restored Blanket additional financial security If publically traded, secured creditor status.

Application for Plugging Extension “Individual Well” options: Abeyance of Plugging Report covering the inactive well plus $250 fee. EOR project status (if eligible) H-15 well test (if eligible) plus $125 fee. Additional financial security Escrow deposit (10% of “Cost Calculation”)

Form W-3X: Application for an Extension of Deadline for Plugging an Inactive Well 10 % based on inactive wells plugged or restored to active status between last renewal and current

Requires statement signed and stamped by Texas Professional Engineer or Professional Geoscientist and a $250.00 filing fee (surcharge included) Only available IF the well is NOT currently required to conduct a H-15 or H-5 test. Filing fee of $125.00 required (surcharge included). Escrow Deposit

Application for Plugging Extension For further info on W-3X/W-3C requirements (including requirements for Abeyance of Plugging Report), see the instructions on the back of the forms and Statewide Rule 15.

Well Transfers If an inactive well is transferred to a new operator, the acquiring operator will have six months to bring the well into compliance (by plugging, returning to active operation, or obtaining a plugging extension). Failure to bring the well into compliance will prevent approval of P-5 renewals and may result in revocation of the current P-5. Until the well is brought into compliance, it cannot be transferred to another operator.

Bringing Wells back into Production An inactive well will not be considered ‘Active’ for Commission purposes until the well has reported greater than minimal production for at least three consecutive months. (Note: does not apply to injection or other service wells.)

HB2259/HB3134 Compliance Timeline P-5 Renewal packet generated three months prior to P-5 renewal. Packet includes a listing of all inactive wells along with requirements for Rule 15 compliance.

HB2259/HB3134 Compliance Timeline If you file everything needed for your P-5 renewal EXCEPT for compliance with your inactive wells, then you will gain a 90-day extension to complete that compliance. Extension runs from the date your P-5 would have expired.

HB2259/HB3134 Compliance Timeline If you are still non-compliant at the end of the 90-day extension a second notice of non-compliance will be sent. You will have 30 days from the date of this notice to request a hearing if you wish. If you request a hearing, you must pay the cost for the hearing, which is a non-refundable fee of $4,500.

HB2259/HB3134 Compliance Timeline Failure to respond within the 30 day period will begin the process to; Deny the P-5 renewal. Issue Severance/Seal orders Collect financial security.
