State Conservation Commission Considers Stricter Oil, Gas Well-Drilling Regulations

摘要

The Alaska agency that oversees oil and gas well operations has launched a wide-ranging review of its regulations governing well drilling, rig work overs, and well controls.rnThe review will consider changes, "without limitation," to regulations concerning offshore and ultra-extended-reach wells drilled in state territory, said the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission.rnThe inquiry, announced in a June 24 notice that calls for public input, was prompted by the BP Deepwater Horizon well blowout and spill in the Gulf of Mexico, the AOGCC said in its notice.
