An Operational Permit is required to engage in the operation of an oil well. An oil well is any well or hole already drilled, being drilled or to be drilled for, prospecting for, or producing petroleum, natural gas, or other hydrocarbon substances; or is used or intended to be used for the subsurface injection of oil field waste, gases, water or liquid substances, including any such existing hole, well or casing which has not been abandoned.
The notices for application and/or cancellation for a permit under this classification are handled by the Fire Inspector in the Harbor Industrial Unit. “Oil well” shall not include a “temporary geological exploratory core hole”.
