BoardBoard of Oil and Gas Conservation of the State of Montana Public Hearing
The Board addressed several matters regarding oil and gas operations. Key actions included approving a temporary spacing unit for horizontal well development and reviewing change of operator applications, which involved verifying adequate plugging and reclamation bond coverage. Additionally, the Board conducted show cause hearings concerning delinquent production reports, unpaid administrative penalties, and unresolved environmental compliance issues at specific well sites. Several dockets resulted in orders for remediation, fines, or continuation to future hearings, while one case concerning well plugging obligations was dismissed after the respondent completed the necessary work.
