Utah State Government Oil Gas & Mining Division
The Oil, Gas & Mining Division of Utah State Government is dedicated to ensuring the safe and responsible management of natural resources, including oil, gas, minerals, and coal. Recently, the division took swift action to address environmental concerns by plugging an orphaned natural gas well near Vernal, emphasizing their commitment to public safety and environmental protection.
In addition to emergency responses, the division is actively updating regulations to enhance the mining sector through initiatives such as House Bill 355, which clarifies mining rights and sets rules for expanding operations. The drafting of new bonding rules further aims to streamline operational costs while ensuring responsible management of well ownership and mining activities.
