26 Miss. Code. R. 2-1.24 - WELL LOGS
(a) At least one
electric log shall be run in each well and shall be filed with the Board within
thirty (30) days of completion of the well, with Form 3, or within 60 days
after log is run, whichever is the earlier date. This will include an
electrical correlation log consisting of the spontaneous potential or gamma ray
and induction resistivity surveys, or equivalent, and covering that portion of
the wellbore from total depth to the base of the surface casing, specifically
displayed on a one inch: one hundred foot scale, a two inch: one hundred foot
scale and a five inch: one hundred foot scale. One copy of all additional open
hole electrical, mechanical and radioactive logs run in the well shall be filed
with the Board within said filing period, provided, however, that logs obtained
on stratigraphic tests shall be filed with the Board within six (6) months.
This shall not include any interpretative, computer-analyzed or
computer-interpreted logs run in the well. It shall, however, include the raw
data curves from a dipmeter if run in the well. The Supervisor of the Board
may, for good cause and at the discretion of the Supervisor, waive the
requirement that one electric log be run from total depth to the base of the
surface casing.
(b) If requested by
the person filing, the data filed in accord with subsection (a) above shall be
kept confidential for a period of six (6) months from the date on which it
should have been filed. If subsequently requested in writing by the person
filing said data, the Supervisor shall extend the period of confidentiality an
additional six (6) months, for a total period of confidentiality not to exceed
one (1) year from the date it should have been filed. The Board may, after
notice and hearing, grant an additional extension of the confidentiality
period.
(c) At the expiration of
time in which any log or logs shall be held as confidential by the Board as
provided under subsection (b) above, said log or logs shall be placed in the
open files of the Board and any party or firm shall have the right to examine
and/or request copies of said logs or surveys to be reproduced by photography
or other means not injurious to said logs or surveys. Any party or firm
requesting reproduced copies of logs or surveys shall file a written request
with the Supervisor specifying the logs or surveys to be copied. Upon written
approval from the Supervisor, the reproduction work shall be done by proper
employees of the State Oil and Gas Board. The cost of reproduction shall be
established by the Board on a per page, per inch, per foot, or other
established and published cost basis. Under no circumstances shall the Board's
file copies of logs or surveys be allowed to be removed from the Board files by
any party or firm who is not an employee of the Board. Use and reproduction of
logs and surveys shall be in accordance with the statement of general policy in
effect at that time.
