OEPA Members meet with Commissioner Kim David

A group of OEPA members had the opportunity to sit down with Oklahoma Corporation Commissioner Kim David earlier this month to discuss some of the top issues at the state regulatory agency.

“The meeting with Commissioner David was productive and positive. I enjoyed the discussion with her and appreciate the balance of perspective she brings between the needs of industry and common sense regulations. I find her to be inquisitive, thoughtful and informed about the various issues we discussed,” said OEPA Regulatory Chairman, Charles Teacle.

During the meeting, the group spent quite a bit of time discussing the issues of orphaned wells, plugging and surety in relation to the operated and non-operated interests. We were also able to discuss side issues that could affect the oil and gas industry that the Corporation Commission deals with on the public utility side as it pertains to the future energy needs required to support the increasing demands for AI.

Be on the lookout for the next “Conversation with a Commissioner” event later this year. We encourage all OEPA members to attend!
