In accordance with Section 34(3) of the Drilling and Production Regulation, a well permit holder must submit logs within 30 days after the date the log was run.
The production logs submission requirements are as follows:
Submit one hard copy (colour, if necessary) and an image (TIFF or PDF) of logs run during the completion and workover activities and the associated LAS (Log ASCII Standard) data
If an interpretive or calculated log is generated, this information should also be submitted.

Appendix B: Well Suspension/Inspection Form Instructions
A Well Suspension/Inspection Form must be submitted to the Commission’s Drilling and Production Department within 30 days of suspension of a well and should be submitted by email to [email protected]. Records of suspensions and inspections must be maintained on file until the time of well abandonment and must be provided to the Commission on request. Inspection results may be recorded by filling out the applicable sections of the OGC’s Well Suspension/Inspection Form.
Please note: Incomplete reports will not be accepted.
General
Required for all suspensions and inspections.
Well Name: Enter the full well name (for example, OIL CORP TOMMY B-092-I/092-G-09)
WA#: Enter the well authorization number (for example, 12345) Permit Holder: Enter the name of the licensed operator (for example, Oil Corporation Ltd.)
Date: Enter the date that suspension operations or the inspection were completed
Site Access: Enter the method of site access (for example, All Weather Road, Dry Summer Road, Frozen Winter Road, Air, ATV Access, Walk-In Access Only, Etc.)
Well Classification
Required at time of suspension. Not required for suspended well inspections.
Risk: Select the well classification: High, Medium or Low risk, as applicable, defined in Section 3.3.
Well Type: Select the well type: 1-6, as applicable, defined in Section 3.3.
Suspension Option: Select the suspension option: A, B or C used for suspension, defined in Section 3.3.
Formations Open To The Wellbore
Required at time of suspension. Not required for suspended well inspections.
Include the formation name, associated H2S (%) and CO2 (%) and formation interval (top and bottom locations in mKB). For formations with multiple perforations, enter the upper and lower interval of the combined perforations, not each individual
interval.
Example:
FORMATION H2S (%) CO2 (%) INTERVAL (mKB)
Baldonnel 0.0 2.14 1238.7 -1249.7
Pressure Monitoring and Pressure Tests
Required at time of suspension and when pressure monitoring/testing is required. Not required for visual inspections.
The correct Shut-In Tubing Pressure (SITP) and Shut-In Casing Pressure (SICP) must be recorded in the appropriate category under this section. If there is no tubing or casing installed in the well, this should be stated clearly in the Comments section. All pressure test results should be recorded as Pass, Fail or N/A. A wellhead pressure test is required for all well types. If a
wellhead pressure test is reported as Fail or N/A, an
explanation, in the form of supporting documentation, will be required with the report submission. Casing and tubing pressure tests are required for applicable wells, as defined in Section 3.3.
All pressures should be recorded in kPa, if applicable.
Visual Inspection
Required for all suspensions and inspections.
Select yes or no, as applicable:
1. “No” indicates that there is no evidence of leaks from the wellhead, including any attached fittings and valves and no evidence of significant corrosion.
2. “Yes” indicates the wellhead meets the requirements for Wellheads and Wellhead Maintenance in Table 3.1.
3. “Yes” indicates the surface casing vent is properly installed and the surface casing vent is open and
unobstructed. Indicate in the comments section if the surface casing vent is obstructed for the purpose of managing a vent flow (i.e., a burst plate is installed).
4. “No” indicates there is no evidence of a surface casing vent flow.
5. “Yes” indicates a barricade has been installed around the wellhead. Requirements for a barricade are site-specific.
6. “Yes” indicates a lease sign, meeting the requirements of Section 15(1) of the Drilling and Production Regulation, has been installed.
7. “Yes” indicates noxious weeds are not present on the lease, nor the lease access road.
8. “Yes” indicates brush piles are not present on the lease or the lease access road.
9. “No” indicates there are no open sumps on the lease.
General
Required for all suspensions and inspections.
Comments: Provide any useful comments, for example, additional suspension detail.
Name, Phone, Email, Cell: Provide the contact information of the person responsible for the report.
