R 299.2472 Applicability of rules.

Rule 2472. (1) If the supervisor of mineral wells or authorized representative of the supervisor of mineral wells determines a proposed well is likely to encounter hydrogen sulfide during drilling, change of well status, or repair operations and that the uncontrolled release of the hydrogen sulfide will pose a threat to public safety, the well shall be subject to the provisions of R 299.2473 to R 299.2483 and R 299.2489. (2) If the supervisor of mineral wells or authorized representative of the supervisor of mineral wells determines a proposed well is likely to encounter hydrogen sulfide during completion operations, and that the uncontrolled release of the hydrogen sulfide will pose a threat to public safety, the well will be subject to the provisions of R 299.2484 to R 299.2488. (3) If a well is completed for production from a hydrogen sulfide-bearing stratum and the uncontrolled release of the hydrogen sulfide causes a nuisance odor, then the supervisor of mineral wells may require the permittee to implement the provisions of R 299.2478 and R 299.2485 to R 299.2490. (4) If a well does not encounter hydrogen sulfide during drilling, rework, or completion operations, or if hydrogen-sulfide-producing strata are isolated behind casing, then it shall no longer be subject to the provisions of this part.
