Sec. 250.115  How do I determine well producibility?

    You must follow the procedures in this section to determine well 
producibility if your well is not in the GOM. If your well is in the GOM 
you must follow the procedures in either this section or in Sec. 250.116 
of this subpart.
    (a) You must write to the Regional Supervisor asking for permission 
to determine producibility.
    (b) You must either:
    (1) Allow the District Supervisor to witness each test that you 
conduct under this section; or
    (2) Receive the District Supervisor's prior approval so that you can 
submit either test data with your affidavit or third party test data.
    (c) If the well is an oil well, you must conduct a production test 
that lasts at least 2 hours after flow stabilizes.
    (d) If the well is a gas well, you must conduct a deliverability 
test that lasts at least 2 hours after flow stabilizes, or a four-point 
back pressure test.
