Report the interval the way the completion was physically placed in the wellbore. Do not convert to TVD unless the reporting system or current AER guidance specifically asks for it.

Current Guidance

Use current Directive 059 and Manual 027 for well drilling and completion data filing requirements, including completion interval reporting.
