An act relating to oil and gas.

AI Summary

This bill expresses the Legislature's intent to pass future laws that would allow California State University, Bakersfield, to create a special "demonstration zone" within existing oil fields for a decade, enabling research and development into advanced methods of enhanced oil recovery (EOR) using carbon dioxide (CO2). This initiative would involve collaboration with local industries, aiming to achieve either neutral or net negative greenhouse gas emissions through these CO2 EOR techniques, which are a way to increase oil production by injecting CO2 into wells.
