Rule 2371. (1) A permittee of a well shall conduct a directional well survey on each directionally drilled well, with actual survey points taken at suitable intervals from the point of deviation to total depth to enable the course and the end point of the borehole to be determined, or at intervals as approved by the supervisor of mineral wells or authorized representative of the supervisor of mineral wells. All information obtained during and after the survey shall be available to the supervisor of mineral wells or authorized representative of the supervisor of mineral wells. A permittee shall file a certified copy of the survey with the supervisor of mineral wells within 30 days after drilling completion, except as provided in subrule (2) of this rule. A well shall not be utilized for the purpose for which it was permitted until the survey has been filed with the supervisor of mineral wells. (2) If a test well is drilled in an area of the state where rocks of precambrian age directly underlie unconsolidated surface deposits or in those areas that have been designated by the provisions of section 62508(c) of the act, an owner shall file the information required in subrule (1) of this rule within 2 years after drilling completion.
