Section 1931 - Notice of Intention to Drill

Before an owner or operator can commence drilling a well, a Notice of Intention to Drill must be filed on a Division form (OGG105-11/93) and submitted to the Division, accompanied by the appropriate fee and bond (see Section 1932). The operator shall not commence drilling until the Division approves the Notice of Intention to Drill. The Notice shall include all information required on the Division form, and the following:

(a) A map showing the parcel boundaries and the location of the proposed well.

(b) If a government agency has prepared an environmental document for the proposed well, the name and address of the agency or a copy of the final environmental documents.

If operations on an exploratory well or observation well for which the Division is required to prepare environmental documents have not commenced within two years from the date the Notice of Intention to Drill was approved, the Division shall cancel the notice unless, prior to the expiration date, the operator requests an extension on a Rework/Supplementary Notice.

If operations on a development well, exploratory well, or observation well for which the Division is not required to prepare environmental documents have not commenced one year from the date the notice is approved, the Division shall cancel the notice unless, prior to the expiration date, the operator requests a time extension on a Rework/Supplementary Notice. The Division may extend these time limits at its discretion.

(c) Such other information as the Supervisor may require.
