312 IAC 29-22-8 - Reporting of hydraulic fracturing information
Authority: IC 14-10-2-4; IC 14-37-3
Affected: IC 14-25-7; IC 14-37
Sec. 8.
(a) This
section establishes requirements for the reporting of hydraulic fracturing
information to the division.
(b)
Within thirty (30) days following the conclusion of a hydraulic fracturing on a
well, including the refracturing of a well, an owner or operator must provide
details of the hydraulic fracturing to the division. The information must be
provided on a form prescribed by the division that includes the following
information:
(1) The volume and source of base
fluids used, including location and registration information for any source of
water that is a significant water withdrawal facility under IC
14-25-7.
(2) The type and amount of proppant
used.
(3) A description of each
additive product used, including each of the following:
(A) The trade name of the additive product
used as identified by the product manufacturer on the SDS.
(B) A description of the type of each
additive product used.
(C) A
description of the purpose for each additive used.
(D) Unless a copy was previously submitted to
the division, a copy of the SDS for each additive product used.
(4) The maximum volume of each
additive product used expressed as:
(A)
percent (%) by mass of the total fracturing fluid; or
(B) percent (%) by volume of the total
fracturing fluid.
(5) The
maximum surface treating pressure and injection treating pressure.
(6) Identification of formations stimulated
by hydraulic fracturing.
(7)
Whether the hydraulic fracturing was performed with a frac string set inside
production casing, or through production casing without a separate frac
string.
(c) Copies of the
following additional information must be submitted along with the hydraulic
fracturing report:
(1) Well service company
job tickets or similar reports that provide a summary of the products used and
the services performed with respect to the hydraulic fracturing. The reports
are not required to include cost information for the products or services
used.
(2) Pressure recording charts
or graphs generated during hydraulic fracturing.
(3) All logs or surveys performed to
calculate or map the fracture length and height.
(d) Upon written request by the well
operator, the following information may be requested to be held confidential by
the division for a period of up to one (1) year from the date of the
stimulation operation:
(1) The identification
of formations stimulated by hydraulic fracturing.
(2) Supplemental information required under
subsection (c).
All other information provided on the form will be placed in the public record for the well and available for inspection by the public.
