Pennsylvania SB1358 amends the Oil and Gas Conservation Law to require drilling permits for wells targeting the Utica shale formation.

Pennsylvania SB1358 amends the Oil and Gas Conservation Law to mandate that well operators obtain a permit before drilling wells targeting the Utica shale formation, specifically those penetrating the Onondaga or deeper horizons or a depth of three thousand eight hundred feet. The application process for these permits must follow regulations under 58 Pa.C.S. Ch. 32. This change aims to regulate the drilling of oil and gas wells more stringently, ensuring compliance with environmental and production standards.
