# §250.613. Approval and reporting for well-workover operations.

- (a) No well-workover operation except routine ones, as defined in [§ 250.601](/cfr/30/250.601.md) of this part, shall begin until the lessee receives written approval from the District Manager. Approval for these operations must be requested on Form BSEE-0124, Application for Permit to Modify.
- (b) You must submit the following with Form BSEE-0124:
  - (1) A brief description of the well-workover procedures to be followed, a statement of the expected surface pressure, and type and weight of workover fluids;
  - (2) When changes in existing subsurface equipment are proposed, a schematic drawing of the well showing the zone proposed for workover and the workover equipment to be used;
  - (3) All information required in [§ 250.731](/cfr/30/250.731.md).
  - (4) Where the well-workover is in a zone known to contain H2S or a zone where the presence of H2S is unknown, information pursuant to [§ 250.490](/cfr/30/250.490.md) of this part; and
  - (5) Payment of the service fee listed in [§ 250.125](/cfr/30/250.125.md).
- (c) The following additional information shall be submitted with Form BSEE-0124 if completing to a new zone is proposed:
  - (1) Reason for abandonment of present producing zone including supportive well test data, and
  - (2) **A statement of anticipated or known pressure data for the new zone.**
- (d) Within 30 days after completing the well-workover operation, except routine operations, Form BSEE-0124, Application for Permit to Modify, shall be submitted to the District Manager, showing the work as performed. In the case of a well-workover operation resulting in the initial recompletion of a well into a new zone, a Form BSEE-0125, End of Operations Report, shall be submitted to the District Manager and shall include a new schematic of the tubing subsurface equipment if any subsurface equipment has been changed.
