(a) set through the Dakota plus 20 feet into the underlying formation or 20 feet into the Permian if specifically designated or

(b) set through all unconsolidated material plus 20 feet into the underlying formation and cement the production string from a point 20 feet below the base of the Dakota or 20 feet below the base of the Cheyenne, if specifically designated, to the surface.

If (b) is used and the hole is dry, refer to K.A.R. 82-3-114. In all cases, set through all unconsolidated material plus 20 feet into the underlying formation.
