Sec. 3137.71  What must I do to meet continuing development obligations?

    (a) Once you meet initial development obligations, you must perform 
additional development. Work you did before meeting initial development 
obligations is not continuing development. Continuing development 
includes the following operations--
    (1) Drilling, testing, or completing additional wells to the primary 
target or other unit formations;
    (2) Drilling or completing additional wells that establish 
production of oil and gas;
    (3) Recompleting wells or other operations that establish new unit 
production; or
    (4) Drilling existing wells to a deeper target.
    (b) No later than 90 calendar days after meeting initial development 
obligations, submit to BLM a plan that describes how you will meet 
continuing development obligations. You must submit to BLM updated 
continuing obligation plans as soon as you determine that, for whatever 
reason, the plan needs amending.
    (1) If you have drilled a well that meets the productivity criteria, 
your plan must describe the activities to fully develop the oil and gas 
field.
    (2) If you fulfilled your initial development obligations, but did 
not establish a well that meets the productivity criteria, your plan 
must describe the further actual or constructive drilling operations you 
will conduct.
