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.
