S-34.1, r. 2 - Regulation respecting petroleum exploration, production and storage on land

Section 281 Disposition versions

2018-09-20

281. While performing the work, the authorization holder must use a wellhead or a blowout prevention system comprising at least 2 different sealing mechanisms as long as there is a risk of fluid kicks.

Despite the first paragraph, the use of a wellhead is not required if no perforation has been carried out and if the well is not an open-hole well. In that case, the holder may weld a steel plate directly on the production tubing. The plate must however permit the taking of pressure measurements in the well.

O.C. 1252-2018, s. 281.
