UNIT PLAN OF OPERATIONS

According to 30 CFR 250.1303 the unit operator is required to submit an initial Plan of Operations at the time the Unit Agreement is filed for the Regional Supervisor’s approval.  MMS approves most plans for a period of one year.  The unit operator must then submit a subsequent Plan of Operations before the current plan expires.  Unit Agreements normally specify that you submit the subsequent plan of operations 60 days before the current plan expires.  Since this may vary, consult each unit agreement to determine the timing of submittals.

A unit Plan of Operations should include the following items:

1.	Description of activities (drilling operations, recompletions, workovers, and major facility installations) conducted during the past unit year.

2.	Description of activities planned for the upcoming unit year, with particular emphasis on plans for the non-participating leases.

3.	List of well completions in the unit and their status.

4.	Oil and gas production rates for the unit.

MMS may request additional information as necessary to supplement the required information.
