No protests to the application were filed with the Commission. FINDINGS: I · Operators must file an Application for Sundry Approvals (Form 10-403) and receive Commission approval prior to performing well workovers per 20 AAC 25.280(a). e Current well activity in the Endicott Oil Pool is dominated by the types of workover operations set forth in 20 AAC 25.280(a). Conservation Orde}~- ,40. 297 July 27, 1992 Page 2 . 4~ e e 10. These workover operations include: 1) perforating or reperforating casing; 2) well stimulation; 3) pulling tubing; 4) altering casing; and 5) repairing wells. Procedures for these well workovers have become standard and routine for wells in the Duck Island Unit. Information required with the Application for Sundry Approvals for these operations is repetitive for wells in the Duck Island Unit. Records and reports of well workovers must be maintained by the operator as required by 20 AAC 25.280(c). Changes in well status or configuration and the results of well workover operations must be reported by the operator on a Report of Sundry Well Operations (Form 10-404) as required by 20 AAC 25.280(d). The Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission has primacy for all Class II injection wells in the state. Well operations on injection wells sometimes prompt additional requirements such as mechanical integrity tests. ., A current schedule of upcoming workover operations is necessary for the Commission to exercise its compliance responsibilities. CONCLUSIONS: I · Elimination of the requirements of 20 AAC 25.280(a) for all development wells in the Duck Island Unit, Endicott Field, Endicott Oil Pool will not promote waste nor jeopardize correlative rights. In order to administer the Class II UIC program 10-403's must still be required prior to workovers on all service wells in the Duck Island Unit, Endicott Field, Endicott Oil Pool. Conservation Orde} ~o. 297 July 27, 1992 Page 3 NOW, THEREFORE IT IS ORDERED THAT: Rule 1 The requirements of 20 AAC 25.280(a) are hereby waived for all development wells in the Duck Island Unit, Endicott Field, Endicott Oil Pool. Rule 2 The operator shall provide the Commission with a schedule of planned workover operations including the well and intended operation on a weekly basis.
