On November 1st, The Alaska Oil and Gas
Conservation Commission (AOGCC) announced a public comment period for the third
draft of proposed regulations that will change the way hydraulic fracturing is
regulated in the state. The AOGCC’s new
regulations will require the notification of landowners, surface owners, and
operators within one-half mile of the wellbore, the sampling and analysis of
water wells before and after hydraulic fracturing, the disclosure of the
chemicals in the hydrolic fracturing fluids, the requirements for wellbore integrity
and cementing, and require the containment of hydraulic fracturing fluids.
Comments
on the proposed regulation changes can be set by fax to (907) 276-7542, by email, or by submitting written
comments by mail to:
