Last time I looked the state required surface casing to be set to a minimum depth of 2,800' in that area. That contrasts to 1,800' in much of the rest of the state. If the surface string won't test after getting returns to surface the well would probably be required to be squeezed or plugged. You know as well as I do that a bad cement job is bound to happen but the problem should be discovered

I did not know we had enforced that deep of a surface casing set.

We are doing a lot of work in Ohio right now and there aren't many state rules. Its like the wild west with people fracing within 500' of a lease line. Which is their only rule right now.
