§ 21-21. Supplemental permit to deepen well.

Once any well has either been completed as an oil or gas producer or abandoned as a dry hole, it shall be unlawful for any person to drill such well to a greater depth than that reached in the prior drilling operations without the permittee as to such well obtaining a supplemental permit after filing a supplemental application with the city secretary specifying:

(1)

The then-condition of the well and the casing therein.

(2)

The depth to which it is proposed such well to be deepened.

(3)

The proposed casing program to be used in connection with proposed deepening operations.

In any deeper drilling or any deeper completion, or any deeper production operations, the permittee shall comply with all other provisions contained in this chapter and applicable to the drilling, completion and operation of a well or wells, but no additional filing fee shall be required.

Each supplemental application shall be kept as a part of the public records of the city.
