S-34.1, r. 1 - Regulation respecting petroleum exploration, production and storage in a body of water
Section 244
Disposition versions
244. Before starting the temporary closure work, the authorization holder must carry out a pressure and leak test of the casing at a pressure of 7 MPa.
The holder must also, if production tubing is installed, carry out a pressure and leak test of the tubing and annular spaces at a pressure of 7 MPa.
The tightness is confirmed if the stabilized pressure is at least 90% of the pressure applied over a minimum interval of 10 minutes.
If the wellhead configuration does not allow pressure and leak tests, a visual observation carried out with a onetime measurement of leakage may be carried out.
