RRC Accepting Comments on Amendments to Surface Equipment Removal Requirements and Inactive Wells Rules

August 15, 2016

The proposed rule amendments are a part of the Texas Oilfield Relief Initiative. The rule amendments were proposed to more accurately track when inactive wells have been returned to production; reducing the administrative burden for those wells and associated costs to the oil and gas industry.
