SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
The Virginia Gas and Oil Act; distance limitations and permit applications; coalbed methane gas wells. Removes coalbed methane gas wells from the requirement that for approval of a permit or drilling unit, well operators and coal owners must agree upon a drilling unit or location for a new well within 2,500 linear feet of the location of an existing well, or a well for which a permit application is on file. The bill also deletes the requirement that coalbed methane gas well operators include in their permit applications a signed consent from the coal operator of each coal seam located within certain distances of a proposed well location, or coal bearing stratum, that the applicant proposes to stimulate.
