A bill for an act relating to oil and gas production, including filing requirements, the authority of the department of natural resources, confidential information, and pooling orders.

Summary

The bill imposes an April 1 filing deadline for anyone engaged in oil or gas production, storage, transportation, or related activities, requiring detailed business and ownership information to be sent to the Department of Natural Resources. It also creates a written‑request variance process, defines how confidential data is protected, and gives the director authority to modify well‑spacing units and allow pooling of fractional tracts. These measures are intended to improve oversight, protect proprietary data, and reduce waste in oil and gas development.
