Record of wells

The director shall maintain a record of official well names, to be known as the well-name register, in which shall be entered: (1) the name and location of each well; (2) the well file number; (3) the name of the operator, or the operator's agent; and (4) any subsequent name or names assigned to the well and approved by the director. The last name assigned to a well in the well-name register shall be the official name of the well, and the one by which it shall be known and referred to. The director may, at the director's discretion, grant or refuse an application to change the official name. The application shall be accompanied by a fee of twenty-five dollars, which fee is established to cover the expense of recording the change. If the application is refused, the fee shall be refunded.
