N.D. Admin. Code 43-02-03-40
Each operator shall take a gas-oil ratio test within thirty days following the completion or recompletion of an oil well. Each test shall be conducted using standard industry practices unless otherwise specified by the director. The initial gas-oil ratio must be reported on the well completion or recompletion report (form 6 or form provided by the commission). Subsequent gas-oil ratio tests must be performed on producing wells when the producing pool appears to have reached bubble point. After the discovery of a new pool, each operator shall make additional gas-oil ratio tests as directed by the director or provided for in field rules. During tests each well shall be produced at a maximum efficient rate. The director may shut in any well for failure to make such test until such time as a satisfactory test can be made, or satisfactory explanation given. The results of all gas-oil ratio tests shall be submitted to the director on form 9, which shall be accompanied by a statement that the data on form 9 is true and correct.
