Perforating, fracturing, and chemically treating wells

During treatment operations, the director may prescribe pretreatment casing pressure testing as well as other operational requirements designed to protect wellhead and casing strings. If damage results to the casing or the casing seat from perforating, fracturing, or chemically treating a well, the operator shall immediately notify the director and proceed with diligence to use the appropriate method and means for rectifying such damage, pursuant to section 43-02-02-18. If perforating, fracturing, or chemical treating results in irreparable damage which threatens the mechanical integrity of the well, the commission may require the operator to plug the well.
