Sec. 9.43  Precautions necessary in areas where high pressures are 
likely to exist.

    When drilling in ``wildcat'' territory, or in any field where high 
pressures are likely to exist, the operator shall take all necessary 
precautions for keeping the well under control at all times and shall 
install and maintain the proper high-pressure fittings and equipment to 
assure proper well control. Under such conditions the surface string 
must be cemented through its length, unless another procedure is 
authorized or prescribed by the Superintendent, and all strings of 
casing must be securely anchored.
