This Interpretation Note is intended to clarify the Newfoundland
and Labrador Department of Mines and Energy’s (NLDME) requirements, to
assist operator’s when sourcing blowout prevention equipment for use in
standard overbalanced drilling programs. The blowout preventor system
requirements, where air, gas, or foam (underbalanced drilling) is being
considered, must still meet the requirements of section 74(3) of the
Petroleum Drilling Regulations (CNR 1150/96) and contain the maximum
formation pressure that is anticipated.
