A guidance document for Kentucky`s oil and gas operators. Technical progress report, November 11, 1994--February 1, 1995
This technical report is a summary of the progress made on {open_quotes}A Guidance Document For Kentucky`s Oil and Gas Operators.{close_quotes} It includes a revised outline, an introduction and summary of the state`s regulatory requirements, and the Division of Oil and Gas`s procedures for permitting a well. In the past quarter, several meetings of the task force have taken place. The task force is made up of a group of representatives of the exploration and production regulatory agencies in Kentucky. The first draft outline for the guidance document was reviewed by the task force and suggestions for changes were made. The group asked that the wording of the outline be simplified in order to make it easier for the small operator to understand. The group also suggested that the outline follow a more chronological order from permitting to plugging a well rather than separating the chapters by regulatory divisions. These changes were made and a new draft outline is submitted in this report. In addition to the outline, work on the first chapter has begun with a brief history of the oil and gas industry in Kentucky and how the different regulatory agencies were created. The first chapter also contains a summary of the Division of Oil and Gas`s regulatory responsibilities. Summaries of the other state agencies are being prepared by the respective members of the task force. These summaries will be included in future technical reports. This report also contains the procedures for obtaining a permit from the Division of Oil and Gas. It contains instructions on filling out the permit application, the types of bonds that can be posted, and the spacing requirements in the different regions of Kentucky. This section will be included in chapter 2 of the guidance document.
