(GP/GT) for Additional Water Supply in the Lower Rio Grande

. Successful test-a pressure drop of 10 percent or less under the condition
that the pressure stabilizes and Is maintained and monitored for a minimum of
30 minutes after stabUlzlng
3. F1le Form H-S
4. Optional monitoring of tubing/casing annulus pressure reported on
Form H-I0 may be accepted in lieu of 5 - year pressure testing If the reported
information Indicates mechanlcallntegrtty
5. A temperature or radioactive tracer survey may be used as an alternative to
pressure testing a well not equipped with tubing and. packer
a Requires prior written approval unless required as a permit condition
b. Survey must cover Interval from surface to below the Injection zone
c. Radioactive tracer sl1IVeY must be performed at maximum operating
injection rate and pressure, unless the Commission approves otheIW1se.
d. Temperature survey must be performed after a continuous Injection period
of24 hours followed by an appropriate shut-I~ period .
. K. . Subsequent Commission Action (permit may be modified. suspended. or
terminated by the Commission for just cause)
1.. Transfer (perml t may be transferred from one operator to another only after IS-day
notice period prior to date of transfer) .
M. Plugging (must be done In complIance with Statewide Rule 14)
III. Inspection of Disposal and Injection Wells by RRC Personnel
A. S4rface Pollution Check
1. For leaks In eqUipment or lInes and valves
2. For salt water or oU spills around well
B. Observation Valve Check (for serviceable condition)
C. Correct Sign Check
D. Pressure Check
1. Tubing (Injection pressure): Should be compared to permitted Injection
pressure for this well
2. Casing pressure (tubing/casing annulus): Corresponding tubing and casing
pressures during Injection and shut down may Indicate communication between
tubing and casing .
3. Bradenhead (surface pipe pressure): Pressure on surface casing could Indicate
migration of fluids through wellbore annulus from lower zones or casing leak
E:Proration Schedule Check (to ensure proper status: If well Is not listed or If Incorrect
status Is shown on proration schedule. well may not be approved for injection or
disposal)
F. Check for compliance with special surface fac1l1ty reqUirements if a commercial
disposal well
