SUMMARY OF REVISED WELL COMPLETION SEISMICITY PROTOCOL*
Terms: Oil and Gas Conservation Division (OGCD)
Induced Seismicity Department (ISD)
Oklahoma Geological Survey (OGS)
Operators’ actions following seismic activity within 5 km (3.1 miles) of hydraulic fracturing
operations:
• If, during active operations, the operator detects a seismic event within the monitoring area at least
2.0 ML but less than 2.5 ML, the operator shall implement its seismicity response plan.
• If magnitude is at least 2.5 ML but less than 3.0 ML the operator will notify the ISD of the event.
o If operator has not initiated its seismicity response procedures prior to a 2.5 ML event, the
operator shall pause hydraulic fracture operations for 6 hrs and a technical conference call
will be held with ISD staff and operator regarding proposed seismicity response procedures.
o If operator has initiated its seismicity response procedures prior to a 2.5 ML event, a
technical conference call will be held with ISD staff and the operator regarding proposed
seismicity response procedures, if any, and steps ISD deems necessary.
• If magnitude is at least 3.0 ML but less than 3.5 ML:
o Operator shall pause hydraulic fracture operations for 6 hours and a technical conference
call will be held with ISD staff and operator regarding proposed seismicity response
procedures.
o Upon agreement between operator and OGCD staff regarding mitigation practices and
reduced seismic activity, operator will be permitted to resume with a revised completion
procedure.
• If magnitude is 3.5 ML or greater:
o Operator immediately suspends operations.
o In-person technical conference held with OGCD staff and operator to examine whether
operation can resume with changes.
Updated February 27th, 2018
• Well Completion Protocol issued December 2016
• Update to Protocol with current action levels issued February 2018
• Requires active seismic monitoring within completion AOI
• Seismic mitigation plans can be requested from operators at any time
• Completion data requested after pauses or shutdowns enforced
