Ohio Admin. Code 3745-34-14 - Class I permit to drill applications
In addition to the information required in accordance with
rules
3745-34-12
and
3745-34-13
of the Administrative Code, the owner shall include the following in a

reflection data survey in compliance with rule
3745-34-40
of the Administrative Code.
(B)
Well construction. The owner shall submit the following information for a
permit to drill application :
(1) A plan for
the testing, drilling and construction of the proposed new class I injection
well . Whenever required by the director to protect the public welfare or to
safeguard life, health, or property, or whenever the contemplated expenditure
by the state, any of its political subdivisions, or any municipal corporation
for the completed project exceeds five thousand dollars, plans for the design
of new class I wells shall be prepared by a professional engineer registered
under Chapter 4733. of the Revised Code. In addition, for projects containing a
high degree of complexity, non-standard technology, unusual features, or
deviations from standards or guidelines used by the agency, the director may
require that the owner or operator demonstrate the knowledge and experience of
the project designer.
(2) A
schematic or other appropriate drawings of the proposed well with proper
setting depths, including wellhead and gauges and a written description of the
proposed surface and subsurface construction details of the well including all
of the following:
(a) Hole size;
(b) Surface casing , intermediate, long string
casing , and injection tubing packer information, including all of the
following:
(i) Size;
(ii) Weight;
(iii) Grade;
(iv) Depth-GL;
(v) Thickness;
(vi) Diameter;
(vii) Nominal weight;
(viii) Length;
(ix) Joint specification;
(x) Construction material; and
(xi) Tubing tensile, burst, and collapse
strength.
(3)
A written demonstration that for the design life of the well the casings,
including any casing connections, are rated to have sufficient structural
strength to withstand:
(a) The maximum burst
and collapse pressures which may be experienced during the construction,
operation, and closure of the well ; and
(b) The maximum tensile strength which may be
experienced at any point along the length of the casing during the
construction, operation, and closure of the well.
(4) Cement data, including the proposed type
and class, additives, amount, and circulate for the surface casing , long
string, and other casings;
(5) A
description of the packer including all of the following:
(a) Proposed type;
(b) Name and model number;
(c) Setting depth; and
(d) Compatibility with proposed annular fluid
and proposed injection fluid .
(6) A description of the proposed bottom hole
completion.
(7) A plan for the
proposed stimulation program.
(8)
Construction procedures including a cementing and casing program, logging
procedures, deviation checks, and a drilling, testing, and coring program.
These procedures should address the applicable factors and requirements in
rules
3745-34-37,
3745-34-54,
and
3745-34-55
of the Administrative Code.
(9) A
written analysis demonstrating that the various parts of the casing , tubing,
and cement will be compatible with or resistant to corrosion from the formation
fluid and injection fluids to which they will respectively be exposed.
(10) Procedures for core analysis,
if performed, including analysis for at least:
(a) Permeability;
(b) Porosity;
(c) Percent saturation;
(d) Sample description;
(e) Sieve analysis of sand; and
(f) Compatibility testing of cores with waste
stream for permeability reduction.
(C) Proposed formation testing program to
obtain analysis of the chemical, physical and radiological characteristics of
the receiving formation including, but not limited to:
(1) Fluid pressure;
(2) Temperature;
(3) Fracture pressure ;
(4) Physical and chemical characteristics of
the injection matrix;
(5)
Compatibility of the injected fluids with the formation fluids;
(6) Corrosiveness; and
(7) Other applicable information.
(D) Procedures for performing
deviation checks in compliance with paragraph (D)(1) of rule
3745-34-37
of the Administrative Code.
(E)
Procedures for performing the logging and testing requirements of paragraph (D)
of rule
3745-34-37
of the Administrative Code.
(F)
Procedures, forms, and methods for collecting all of the following information:
(1) Drilling and completion records
including:
(a) Daily reports;
(b) Driller's log or record of strata;
(c) Casing and tubing records;
(d) Pipetallys;
(e) Detailed screen and liner setting;
(f) Details of centralizers,
scratchers, and other such equipment; and
(g) Engineering drawings of:
(i) Well completion;
(ii) Packer assembly and setting; and
(iii) Well head parts list.
(2) Testing
records including the following:
(a) Well
testing:
