Title: All well locations must be properly identified with a legible sign.
Text: Drilling and Production Related Field Considerations: "From the time a well pad is constructed or a well is spudded (if no well pad construction), until installation of the permanent abandonment marker, all well locations must be properly identified with a legible sign. The well sign and abandonment marker will include the well number, operator name, lease number and the surveyed location. At each Project POD building site where federal wells are being metered, the operator is required to maintain a legible sign displayed in a conspicuous place. This sign is required to be in place at the time metering goes online. The sign must include: Project POD name, Operator, Federal well numbers and Federal lease numbers being metered at the Project POD building and surveyed location of the building."
