R 299.2360 Wells drilled with cable tools.

Rule 2360. Wells drilled with cable tools shall have the innermost string of casing equipped with a high-pressure master gate valve, flow line assembly, control head with oil saver, bottle with hydraulic lubricator, or other combination of equipment approved by the supervisor of mineral wells or authorized representative of the supervisor of mineral wells. All of the equipment shall be anchored to the surface casing or another casing string before drilling into or through a stratum known to contain or likely to contain oil or gas. The wellhead equipment and casing to be installed to keep a well under control shall be pressure-tested commensurate to formation pressures, shall be in good working order when installed, shall be maintained in good working order throughout its use on the well, and shall be capable of being equipped with a bottle or lubricator, or both, when this method of control is necessary. The annulus shall be sealed with a bradenhead or other approved equipment that has a connection and valve for monitoring. A test well that does not penetrate below the deepest fresh water aquifer is exempt from this rule.
