After waiting for over a decade, the Ohio Oil & Gas Land Management Commission is one meeting away from voting on proposed rule 155-1-01, according to its April 10 hearing, to establish a standard lease for developing trapped natural gas and oil from beneath state-owned lands.
Ohio operators have been safely leasing and developing oil and natural gas on public lands in the state for years, according to a presentation the Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District (MWCD) gave the Ohio Oil & Gas Land Management (OGLM) Commission on Wednesday.
