North Dakota's oil and gas conservation rules (N.D. Admin. Code 43-02-03-15, under N.D.C.C. ch. 38-08) require a drilling and plugging bond before construction. A blanket bond covering multiple wells is set at $100,000, conditioned on compliance with ch. 38-08 and the Industrial Commission's rules and orders. Coverage is limited once more than six problem wells accrue against the blanket bond. The Commission may require a higher amount based on expected plugging and reclamation cost.
