7. Well detail

Enter the following well information for single wells and multiwell pads. If filing a multiwell pad application, a completed Schedule 4.2 is automatically generated. See Multiwell pads.

Field

Description

Bottom Hole Location
Required

Enter the DLS location of the well bottom hole. See Entering DLS locations.

Type of Drilling Operation
Required

From the drop-down list, select the type of drilling operation (i.e., vertical, directional, horizontal, slant, or natural drift).

Surface Location
Required

Enter the DLS surface location of the wellbore.

Surface Coordinates
Required

Enter the well surface coordinates.

Field	Description
N/S Distance	North/south distance of the surface location measured from the well to the outside boundaries of the section containing the well, rounded to the nearest 0.1 m
N/S Code	N(orth) or S(outh) to show the direction of measurement from the well to the section boundary
E/W Distance	East/west distance of the surface location measured from the well to the outside boundaries of the section containing the well, rounded to the nearest 0.1 m
E/W Code	E(ast) or W(est) to show the direction of measurement from the well to the section boundary

Well Name
Required

Click Create Well Name to generate the well name in accordance with the OGCR Section 13.020, and Directive 006.

Well names can be up to 36 characters in length. EAS creates a template well name for you that is a concatenation of the Business Associate abbreviation, optional characters if there is space (you are prompted to enter the optional free characters), the field (If there is no field, the strike area is used), and the LSD, section, township, and range of the bottomhole location. For bitumen wells, the oil sands name is used.

Surface Casing Depth (m)
Required

Enter the total depth of the surface casing depth to the nearest metre.

Projected Total Depth (m)
Required

Enter the projected total depth to the nearest metre.

True Vertical Depth (m)
Required

Enter the true vertical depth to the nearest metre if the well is expected to deviate from vertical.

Ground Elevation (m)
Required

Enter the surveyed ground elevation rounded to the nearest 0.1 m.

Mineral Rights
Required

From the drop-down list, select if the mineral rights are Alberta Crown, Freehold, or both.

Terminating Formation
Required

From the drop-down list, enter the deepest formation that the well will terminate in and where you have the right to produce. Do not record the 15 m overhole formation as the terminating formation unless you hold the mineral rights for this formation.

Surface Latitude
Required

Enter the surface well location latitude in decimal degrees to 6 decimal places (NAD 83, ATS Grid May - 2004 Lat/Long coordinates).

Surface Longitude
Required

Enter the surface well location latitude in decimal degrees to 6 decimal places (NAD 83, ATS Grid May - 2004 Lat/Long coordinates).

Well Names Added
(Multiwell Pads only)

Enter and view the names of wells in a multiwell pad or scheme of observation wells. See Multiwell pads.

Surface casing meets the requirements of Directive 008, Section 7.10.9.
Required

Select Yes means the proposed surface casing meets the requirements of Directive 008.

Select No if the surface casing does not meet the requirements. You must attach:

Required Attachment	Description	Type
Surface Casing Exemption Request	A discussion that includes an area search for AOF data, geology, thermal schemes and operations, or a copy of an approval granted by AER Operations	.doc, .jpg, .pdf
Surface Casing Map	A map of wells within a 3 km radius to accompany the surface casing exemption request	.jpg, .pdf

Select N/A to show that Directive 008 requirements do not apply, for example, if the well licence application is to re-enter an existing wellbore.

For Category E wells, you must attach:

Required Attachment	Description	Type
Surface Casing Checksheet	A surface casing check sheet, pressure survey, and pressure gradient documentation, as well as documentation confirming protection of the groundwater	.doc, .jpg, .pdf

A directional survey will be run if the well deviates from vertical
Required

Select Yes to show that a directional survey will be run if the well deviates from vertical.

Select No to show that a directional survey will not be run. You must attach:

Required Attachment	Description	Type
Directional Survey	Explanation why a directional survey will not be run	.doc, .jpg, .pdf
