    Approval for Leaae OCS-G 8719 M # 1 3 1 South Tinbalier

    J U L — - i a subject to tbe Conditions Of Approval To D r i l l Por Oil Or Oae revised Nay 31, 1988, (copy attached) and the following requirements aa iadloated:

    .Notify the Houna Dlstriot Office, phone (504) 868-4033, prior to moving oc location.

    Jt After drilling a maximum of 49* below the aurface and interaediate caaing, a pressure teet shall be obtained to aid in determining a formation fracture gradient either by testing to fonaation leakoff or by testing to a predetermined equivalent aud weight. The propoaad mmttirtf riapth for interaediate casing shal l be based on the surface caaing prsssure test or on subsequent preeeure tests. Interaediate casing ihaU —» when required by anticipated abnoraal pressure, mud weight, sediment, and other well conditions.

    Notify tha District Supervisor to obtain verbal approval prior to using oi l or other pollutant type materials for freeing stuck d r i l l pips and/or dr i l l ing . The eater laia used shal l be properly contained to prevent pollution.

    Additional comments:

    This well should be dri l led in accordance with the provisions of Subpart D and subsequent revisions. Ths approval of the caisson-size well protector pipe included in this spplication allows i ts installation for that purpose only. This approval does not commit the MIS to approve a later application under Subpart I , for use of ths protector casing as an integral part of a caisson-type single well platfora. Compliance with NTL 83-3 i s required. SPEC IAL ATTENTION SHOULD BE DIRECTED TO CONDITIONS 9 & 10 OF THE CONDITIONS OP APPROVAL TO DRILL POR OIL OR GAS.

    •Wells completed for production shall be protected by an approved caisson-type well platform prior to coving tbe rig from the well s i te .
