Well Logging Amendment Application

The Integrated Resources Information System (IRIS) automatically assigns logging requirements based upon answers to disclosure questions provided at the time a well licence is issued.

An application to amend logging requirements should be made before any drilling activity takes place. However, in situations where it becomes technically impossible to obtain logs due to drilling issues, a request for a waiver can be made.

Well logging obligations may be updated at any time. Check IRIS's obligations screen regularly for any new well logging requirements. 

For more information, see:

• Directive PNG010: Well Logging Requirements
• Directive PNG008: Disposal and Injection Well Requirements
