Onshore oil wells; require compliance with anchoring requirements to be determined by the State Oil and Gas Board.
SB 2427 requires all onshore oil wells in Mississippi to meet anchoring standards set by the rig manufacturer, the American Petroleum Institute, or an equivalent industry standard approved by the State Oil and Gas Board. It mandates that operators obtain anchoring certificates from the Board before connecting wells to pipelines. The bill also clarifies the definition of "onsore well" and updates existing codes to enforce these requirements. The legislation died in committee in February 2025 and did not become law.
