HB 881 Location of drilling gas and oil wells.

Introduced by: Clarence E. Phillips | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

Location of drilling gas and oil wells. Allows an interstate park commission, if it is the surface owner, to raise objections to gas and oil well permits. However, the location of the well or pipeline must unreasonably infringe on the park’s use of the surface, a reasonable alternative site must be available within the drilling unit, and granting the objection must not materially impair any right contained in an agreement between the park and the operator.
