Bill > HB2748

This bill modifies existing Arizona law concerning fees and confidentiality related to oil and gas operations. Specifically, it changes the fixed fees for drilling permits and hearing requests to amounts determined by the Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (the "commission") through its rules, rather than set dollar amounts. The bill also adjusts provisions regarding the confidentiality of well records, allowing the commission discretion to extend the period for which drilling data from wells outside established pools or proven geothermal areas can be kept confidential, particularly if disclosure could harm an operator's competitive position, and clarifies that the director of the department of water resources can inspect well records but must maintain confidentiality as otherwise provided.
