Michigan SB0394 establishes ownership and conveyance rights for pore space in subsurface geological formations.

Michigan SB0394, known as the "subsurface pore space act," establishes that the ownership of pore space in all strata below the surface of real property is vested in the owner of the overlying surface, unless the pore space was previously severed from the surface ownership or is expressly excluded from a conveyance. The act defines "pore space" as the open space in a subsurface geological formation capable of storing carbon dioxide or other substances.
