30 CFR 550.1167: What information must I submit with forms and for approvals?

You must submit the supporting information listed in the following table with the form identified in column 1 and for the approval required under this subpart identified in column 2:

SRI BOEM-0127 (2 copies) Reservoir reclassification

(a) Maps:

(1) Base map with surface, bottomhole, and completion locations with respect to the unit or lease line and the orientation of representative seismic lines or cross-sections

(2) Structure maps with penetration point and subsea depth for each well penetrating the reservoirs, highlighting subject wells; reservoir boundaries; and original and current fluid levels √ √

(3) Net sand isopach with total net sand penetrated for each well, identified at the penetration point *

(4) Net hydrocarbon isopach with net feet of pay for each well, identified at the penetration point *

(b) Seismic data:

(1) Representative seismic lines, including strike and dip lines that confirm the structure; indicate polarity

(2) Amplitude extraction of seismic horizon, if applicable √

(c) Logs:

(1) Well log sections with tops and bottoms of the reservoir(s) and proposed or existing perforations √ √

(2) Structural cross-sections showing the subject well and nearby wells √

(d) Engineering data:

(1) Estimated recoverable reserves for each well completion in the reservoir; total recoverable reserves for each reservoir; method of calculation; reservoir parameters used in volumetric and decline curve analysis √

(2) Well schematics showing current and proposed conditions

(3) The drive mechanism of each reservoir √ √

(4) Pressure data, by date, and whether they are estimated or measured √

(5) Production data and decline curve analysis indicative of the reservoir performance √

(6) Reservoir simulation with the reservoir parameters used, history matches, and prediction runs (include proposed development scenario) *

(e) General information:

(1) Detailed economic analysis

(2) Reservoir name and whether or not it is competitive as defined under § 250.105 √ √

(3) Operator name, lessee name(s), block, lease number, royalty rate, and unit number (if applicable) of all relevant leases

(4) Geologic overview of project √

(5) Explanation of why the proposed completion scenario will maximize ultimate recovery

(6) List of all wells in subject reservoirs that have ever produced or been used for injection √

√ Required.

* Additional items the Regional Supervisor may request.

Note: All maps must be at a standard scale and show lease and unit lines. The Regional Supervisor may waive submittal of some of the required data on a case-by-case basis.

(f) Depending on the type of approval requested, you must submit the appropriate payment of the service fee(s) listed in § 550.125, according to the instructions in § 550.126.
