LAC 43:XIX.4913. Casing Heads

A. All wells shall be equipped with casing heads with a test pressure in conformance with conditions existing in areas in which they are used. The casing head body, as soon as installed, shall be equipped with proper connections and valves accessible to the surface. Reconditioning shall be required on any well showing pressure on the casing head, or leaking between production string and next larger size casing, when, in the opinion of the district manager, such pressure or leakage assumes hazardous proportions or indicates the existence of underground waste. Mud-laden fluid may be pumped between any two strings of casing at the top of the hole, but no cement shall be used except by special permission of the commissioner or his agent.
