Kan. Admin. Regs. § 82-3-123 - Well bore; commingling of production
(a) Applicability.
Commingling of production from more than one source of supply shall be
permitted if the total production potential is less than the allowable for a
single common source of supply for the immediate area and after application and
approval by the conservation division.
(b) Coalbed natural gas. Each well producing
only coalbed natural gas shall be exempt from this regulation.
(c) Application. Each original application
for commingling and one copy shall be filed with the conservation division. The
application shall be submitted to the commission on the form provided by the
commission and shall be accompanied by the following information:
(1) A description of the well with a plat
attached showing the location of the subject well, the location of other wells
on the lease, the location of offset wells within a 12-mile radius of the
subject well, and for each of these wells, the name of the lessee of record or
the operator;
(2) the names of the
upper and lower limits of the sources of supply to be commingled, with proposed
perforations or open holes noted;
(3) a wireline log of the subject well;
(4) the production potential of
oil, water, gas, or a combination for each source of supply;
(5) the total anticipated production for the
formations sought to be commingled; and
(6) the applicant's license number.
(d) Allowable. The
maximum well allowable for a well in which commingled production is approved
shall be the following:
(1) For oil wells,
the allowable for the deepest source of supply demonstrating productivity as
specified in K.A.R. 82-3-203 or special order; and
(2) for gas wells, the allowable specified in
K.A.R. 82-3-312, based on the combined actual open-flow potential from all
producing zones or as provided by special order.
(e) Notice; protest. The applicant shall
provide notice of the application as required in K.A.R. 82-3-135a. If a protest
is filed in accordance with K.A.R. 82-3-135a, the application shall be set for
hearing by the commission. Commingling shall be prohibited if the commission
finds that waste or a violation of correlative rights is likely to result.
(f) Application for additional
sources of supply. A new commingling application shall be required if the
operator desires to open an additional source of supply that was not included
in the initial application.
