Transcript Highlights:
- So basically, everyone has different anniversary dates on when their bond expires.
Summary:
The House Energy Committee met for its first meeting of session and heard two bills. House Bill 3469, by Chairman Bowles, would create a three-year phase-in for higher oil and gas surety bond requirements adopted in last year’s HB 1369, giving smaller operators more time to adjust while still addressing the state’s orphaned and abandoned well liabilities. Bowles explained that some small producers have had difficulty obtaining the larger bonds, and noted the state’s need for stronger financial protection given the large number of orphaned wells. The committee asked about the bill’s effective timing, and HB 3469 was reported out of committee on an 8-0 vote.
House Bill 3173, by Chairman Archer, would allow orphaned and abandoned wells to be taken over for geothermal or energy storage uses, with the goal of putting some wells back into productive use and reducing the backlog of wells needing state plugging. Archer said the state’s current pace could take roughly 200 years to clear the list, and emphasized that even a small number of wells converted to productive use would help. A question from Rep. Lepak clarified that if the well is not used for the approved purpose for 12 months, the entity taking it over becomes responsible for plugging or remediation. HB 3173 also passed 8-0 and moved to the oversight committee.
House Bill 4264, relating to mines and mining, was laid over at the sponsor’s request and was not heard. The committee adjourned after noting it would plan to meet again the following week, with the possibility of needing a third meeting to finish assigned bills.
