19.15.7.8 D. (4)       form C-104 - request for allowable and authorization to transport oil and gas;

19.15.7.15       REQUEST FOR ALLOWABLE AND AUTHORIZATION TO TRANSPORT OIL AND GAS (Form C-104): An operator shall file with the division a complete form C-104 to request the division assign an allowable to a newly completed or re-completed well or a well completed in an additional pool or issue an operator authorization to transport oil or gas from the well.

19.15.7.16       WELL COMPLETION OR RECOMPLETION REPORT AND LOG (Form C-105):
            C.       The division shall not keep form C-105 and accompanying attachments confidential unless the well’s owner requests in writing that the division keep it confidential. Upon such request, the division shall keep these data confidential for 90 days from the date of the well’s completion, provided, however, that the report, logs and other attached data may, when pertinent, be introduced in a public hearing before division examiners, the commission or in a court of law, regardless of the request that they be kept confidential.

19.15.16.14       DEVIATION TESTS AND WELLBORE SURVEYS; VERTICAL, DEVIATED AND DIRECTIONAL WELLS:
            A.       Vertical and deviated well bores.
                        (1)       Deviation tests required. An operator shall test a vertical or deviated well that is drilled or deepened at reasonably frequent intervals to determine the deviation from the vertical. The operator shall make the tests at least once each 500 feet or at the first bit change succeeding 500 feet. The operator shall file with the division along with its form C-104 a tabulation of deviation tests run that is sworn to and notarized.
                        (2)       Excessive deviation. When the deviation averages more than five degrees in a 500-foot interval, the operator shall include the calculations of the hole’s maximum possible horizontal displacement. When the maximum possible horizontal displacement exceeds the distance to the appropriate unit’s nearest outer boundary line the operator shall run a directional survey to establish the location of the well’s completed interval.
                        (3)       Unorthodox well locations. If the results of the directional survey of a vertical or deviated well indicate that the completed interval is more than 50 feet from the approved surface location and closer than the minimum setback requirements to the applicable unit’s outer boundary, then the well is considered unorthodox. To obtain authority to produce the well, the operator shall file an application with the division’s Santa Fe office, and shall follow the process outlined in Subsection C of 19.15.15.13 NMAC to obtain approval of the unorthodox well location.
                        (4)       Directional survey requirements. Upon the director’s request, the operator shall directionally survey a vertical or deviated well. The operator shall file directional surveys run on a well, in division-approved format, with the division upon the well’s completion. The division shall not approve a form C-104 for the well until the operator has filed the directional surveys.
            B.       Directional well bores.
                        (1)       Directional drilling. The appropriate division district office may grant a permit to directionally drill a well bore if every point of the completed interval is projected to be located at a distance greater than or equal to the minimum setback distance from the applicable spacing unit’s outer boundaries or at an unorthodox well location the division previously approved.
                        (2)       Unorthodox well locations. If all or part of a directional well’s completed interval is projected to be located less than the minimum distance from the outer boundary of the well’s spacing unit, the well’s location is considered unorthodox. To obtain approval for the well’s location, the operator shall file an application in the division’s Santa Fe office in accordance with Subsection C of 19.15.15.13 NMAC.
                        (3)       Directional surveys required. An operator shall run a directional survey on each well drilled pursuant to Subsection B of 19.15.16.14 NMAC. The operator shall file a directional survey, in division-approved format, with the division upon the well’s completion. The division shall not approve a form C-104 for the well until the operator files the directional survey. The well’s location will be considered unorthodox if the directional survey indicates that part of a well’s completed interval, as drilled, is located more than 50 feet from its projected location and closer to an outer boundary of the spacing unit than applicable minimum setback distance. For previously approved unorthodox well locations, the well’s as-drilled location is unorthodox if the directional survey indicates that any part of the completed interval is located more than 50 feet (or, if less, twenty-five percent of the previously authorized distance) closer to the outer boundary of the spacing unit than the approved location.
            C.       Directional survey specifications. Directional surveys that 19.15.16.14 NMAC requires shall have shot points no more than 200 feet apart and shall be run by competent surveying companies. The division shall allow exceptions to the minimum shot point spacing provided the survey’s accuracy is still within acceptable limits.

19.15.16.15       HORIZONTAL WELLS:
            E.       Other matters.
                        (1)       Directional survey requirements. The operator of each horizontal well shall run a directional survey and file the directional survey, in a division-approved format, upon the well’s completion. Directional surveys shall have shot points no more than 200 feet apart and shall be run by competent surveying companies. The division shall allow exceptions to the minimum shot point spacing provided the survey’s accuracy is still within acceptable limits. The division shall not approve a form C-104 for the well until the operator has filed the required directional survey.

19.15.16.16       MULTIPLE COMPLETIONS; BRADENHEAD GAS WELLS:
            A.       Multiple completions.
                        (1)       Filing. An operator intending to multiple complete shall file form C-101 or C-103 with the division for approval before completing and C-104 after completing along with information required by the form instructions.

19.15.16.20       ALLOWABLES AND AUTHORIZATION TO TRANSPORT OIL AND GAS:
            A.       The division may assign an allowable to a newly completed or re-completed well or a well completed in an additional pool or issue an operator authorization to transport oil or gas from the well if the operator:
                        (1)       has filed a complete form C-104;
                        (2)       has provided a sworn and notarized tabulation of all deviation tests the operator has run on the well, and directional surveys with calculated bottom hole location, in accordance with the requirements of 19.15.16.14 NMAC or 19.15.16.15 NMAC;
                        (3)       has dedicated a standard spacing unit or horizontal spacing unit for the pool in which the well is completed, a standard spacing unit or horizontal spacing unit has been communitized or pooled and dedicated to the well or the division has approved a non-standard spacing unit or horizontal spacing unit; and
                        (4)       complies with Subsection A of 19.15.5.9 NMAC.
            B.       The allowable the division assigns to an oil well is effective at 7:00 a.m. on the completion date, provided the division receives form C-104 during the month of completion. The date of completion shall be that date when new oil is delivered into the stock tanks. Unless otherwise specified by special pool orders, the allowable the division assigns to a gas well is effective at 7:00 a.m. on the date of connection to a gas transportation facility, as evidenced by an affidavit of connection from the transporter to the division, or the date of receipt of form C-104 by the division, whichever date is later.

19.15.18.19       GATHERING, TRANSPORTING AND SALE OF DRIP:
            A.       The waste of drip is prohibited when it is economically feasible to salvage the drip.
            B.       A person may move and sell drip, provided it complies with 19.15.18.19 NMAC.
            C.       A person shall not transport or sell drip until the gas transporter files form C-104 designating the drip transporter authorized to remove the drip from its gas gathering or transportation system.

19.15.23.8       DOCUMENTATION REQUIRED:
            A.       Off-lease transportation of oil or lease condensate by motor vehicle shall be pursuant to an approved form C-104 and shall be accompanied by a run ticket or equivalent document. The documentation shall identify the transporter’s name and address, the operator’s name, the name of the lease or facility from which the oil was taken, the date of removal, the API gravity of the oil, the observed percentage of BS&W, the volume of oil or opening and closing tank gauges or meter readings and the driver’s signature. The document shall provide space for recording of the lease number and for the signature of the operator or the operator’s representative.

19.15.24.11       PRODUCTION OF LIQUID HYDROCARBONS FROM GAS WELLS:
            A.       Liquid hydrocarbons produced incidental to the authorized production of gas from a well the division has classified as a gas well are legal production.
            B.       For purposes of 19.15.24.11 NMAC the division shall consider gas produced from a gas well to be authorized production with the following exceptions:
                        (1)       when the operator produces the well without an approved form C-104, designating the gas transporter and the oil or condensate transporter for the well; or
                        (2)       when the division has directed the operator to shut-in the well.
            C.       In the event the division directs an operator to shut-in a gas well, the operator and the division shall immediately notify both the gas transporter and oil transporter.

19.15.27.9 A. (3)       An operator’s acquisition or sale of one or more wells from another operator shall not affect its annual natural gas capture requirements. No later 60 days following the acquisition or sale, the operator may file a written request to the division requesting to modify its gas capture percentage requirements for good cause based on its acquisition or sale. The division may approve, approve with conditions, or deny the request in its sole discretion.
                        (4)       No later than March 30 following the reporting year, an operator that has not met its annual natural gas capture requirement for the previous year shall submit to the division a compliance plan demonstrating its ability to comply with its annual gas capture requirement for the current year. If the division determines, after a reasonable opportunity to meet with the operator, that the compliance plan does not demonstrate the operator’s ability to comply with its annual gas capture requirement for the current year the operator’s approved APDs for wells that have not been spud shall be suspended pending a division hearing to be held no later than 30 days after the determination. Nothing in this subparagraph shall prevent the division from taking any other action authorized by law for the operator’s failure to comply with its annual gas capture requirement, including shutting in wells and assessing civil penalties.
            B.       Accounting. No later than February 28 of each year beginning in 2023, the operator shall submit a report certifying compliance with its statewide gas capture requirements. The operator shall determine compliance with its statewide gas capture requirements by deducting any ALARM credits approved pursuant to this subsection from the aggregated volume of lost gas calculated for each month during the preceding year pursuant to Subparagraph (a) of Paragraph (3) of Subsection G of 19.15.27.8 NMAC, deducting that aggregated volume of lost gas from the aggregated volume of natural gas produced for each month during the preceding year, and dividing that volume by the aggregated volume of natural gas produced for each month during the preceding year.
            D. (6)       If, at any time after the operator submits the natural gas management plan and before the well is spud:
                                    (b)       the operator becomes aware that it has, cumulatively for the year, become out of compliance with its baseline natural gas capture rate or natural gas capture requirement, no later than 20 days after becoming aware of such information, the operator shall submit for the division’s approval a new or revised natural gas management plan for each well it plans to spud during the next 90 days containing the information specified in Paragraph (2) of Subsection D of 19.15.27.9 NMAC, and shall file an update for each plan until the operator is back in compliance with its baseline natural gas capture rate or natural gas capture requirement.

19.15.28.10 A. (3)       An operator’s acquisition or sale of a natural gas gathering system from another operator shall not affect its annual natural gas capture requirements. No later 60 days following the acquisition or sale, the operator may file a written request to the division requesting to modify its annual gas capture percentage requirements for good cause based on its acquisition or sale. The division may approve, approve with conditions, or deny the request in its sole discretion.
            B.       Accounting. No later than February 28 of each year beginning in 2023, the operator shall submit a report certifying compliance with its statewide gas capture requirements. The operator shall determine compliance with its statewide gas capture requirements by deducting any ALARM credits approved pursuant to this subsection from the aggregated volume of lost gas calculated for each month during the preceding year pursuant to Subparagraph (a) of Paragraph (3) of Subsection F of 19.15.28.8 NMAC, deducting that aggregated volume of lost gas from the aggregated volume of natural gas gathered for each month during the preceding year, and dividing that volume by the aggregated volume of natural gas gathered for each month during the preceding year.
