S.C. Code Regs. 121-8.18 - Chemical Treatment and Fracturing
A. Wells shall not be chemically treated, or
fractured, until the permission of the Commission is obtained. Each well shall
be treated, or fractured in such a manner as will not cause injury to the
formation, or result in water encroachment into the oil or gas formation, or
cause injury to any USDW, and necessary precautions shall be taken to prevent
injury to the casing. Routine chemical treatments for corrosion control shall
be excluded from this requirement. If chemical treating, or fracturing results
in irreparable injury to the well, the well shall be properly plugged and
abandoned.
B. Within thirty (30)
days after the chemical treatment or fracturing of a well, a report shall be
filed by the operator, on forms provided by the Commission, setting forth in
detail the method used in treating or fracturing the well.
