§ 31-52. Swabbing operations and drill stem tests.  


Latest version.
  • It shall be unlawful for any person, in connection with the drilling or re-working operations of any well within the city, to conduct any swabbing operations or to take and to complete any drill stem test except during daylight hours. Drill stem tests may be conducted only if the well effluent during the test is produced through an adequate oil and gas separator to storage tanks, and the effluent remaining in the drill pipe at the time the tool is closed is flushed to the surface by circulating drilling fluid down the annulus and up the drill pipe.
