Mississippi Code Title 53. Oil, Gas, and Other Minerals § 53-3-35

Current as of January 01, 2025 | Updated by Findlaw Staff

(1) Each producer or operator of an oil or gas well shall furnish for each month a “monthly individual well status report,” setting forth complete information and data indicated thereon. Such report for each month shall be prepared and filed according to the instructions on a form published by the board for such reports, on or before the first day of the second month following the month during which the production was made.

(2) Each operator or producer of oil or gas shall furnish for each month a “producer's monthly report,” setting forth complete information and data indicated thereon. Such report for each month shall be prepared and filed with the board on a form published by the board for such reports, according to the instructions on said form, on or before the first day of the second month following the month during which the production was made.

(3)(a) A deliverability test of each producing gas well shall be made in conformity with schedules issued by the board. Such test shall be an actual test to determine whether or not the well is capable of producing efficiently any allowable that may reasonably be expected to be assigned to it, and, if the well is not found to be capable, then the test shall determine the maximum rate at which the well may efficiently be produced. The method of testing used shall be one acceptable to the board. A report of each test so required shall be promptly furnished to the board on a form published by the board for such reports. Any operator may make such additional deliverability tests at any time and report such tests to the board in the same manner as required tests are reported. Deliverability shall be determined by the latest test information furnished to the board.

(b) Each oil well and each oil completion of a multiply-completed well shall be tested by the operator once during each calendar month during each calendar year in a calibrated stock tank. The result of such tests shall be reported in writing within thirty (30) days after the end of each month to the state oil and gas board on a form published by the board for such test results.
