N.D. Admin. Code 43-02-02-19
In all drilling operations, proper and necessary precautions shall be taken for keeping the well under control, including the use of a blowout preventer and high-pressure fittings attached to properly cemented casing strings adequate to withstand anticipated pressures. During the course of drilling, the pipe rams shall be functionally operated at least once every twenty-four-hour period. The blind rams shall be functionally operated each trip out of the well bore. The blowout preventer shall be pressure-tested at installation on the wellhead, after modification of any equipment, and every thirty days thereafter. The director may postpone such pressure test if the necessity can be demonstrated to the director's satisfaction. All tests shall be noted in the driller's record.
