If science and fact have any place in the process, then the oil and gas industry can support changes to industry regulations in Colorado. However, it appears as if the proposed rules are politically charged and simply meant to slow down production.
The oil and gas industry contributes $23 billion to our state’s economy and provides good jobs for more than 70,000 people, important facts given where the rest of the economy appears headed.
The Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission showed wisdom by finally allowing industry experts at the table. Let us just hope the commission incorporates industry-expert input and that the draft rules look different from the pre-draft rules.

One Response to “Oil and gas rules”

This campaign of misinformation being perpetrated on the public by Republican legislators and oil and gas industry apologists is shameful. Get this straight: The pre-draft rule suggestions were presented to all the stakeholders at the same time. The comment about the COGCC ” finally allowing industry experts at the table” is designed to give the impression that the oil and gas industry was somehow excluded from the process or treated unfairly. Poppycock!
An army of industry experts( almost entirely lawyers ) participated in the stakeholder meetings from day one. I was there. Were you?
