When you book a Kodiak drill crew, you receive a package requesting several pieces of information. That information will enable us to file either individual or cluster records. Our drillers can collect some of the field information, but if your technician collects it, we will spend our time drilling, and then use only a short time to review the information that you provide.
Here are the conditions that must be met to file a “cluster record”:
- Each owner of land on which a well in the group is located must give written consent to the use of a single (“cluster”) well record (Note: This poses one of the most difficult obstacles for many consultants).
- All wells must be test holes or dewatering wells
- All wells must be located on the same property, on adjacent property (that may be separated by a road) or under specific conditions, within one or two intervening properties of another well in the cluster.
If you know that you won’t be able to get signed permission from the property owner to file a cluster record, please let us know before the job starts. Our crew will simply bring enough well tags to tag every well individually.
