Relating to a requirement that an applicant for a permit to drill an oil or gas well submit a gas capture plan for the well.

HB 1174 requires oil and gas well applicants to submit a gas capture plan as part of their permit application process. This directly affects companies seeking new drilling permits by mandating they outline how they will capture and manage gases produced during drilling. The bill focuses on preventing wasted natural gas emissions at the source, though specific technical requirements for the plan are not detailed in the provided context. The bill was filed in November 2024 and referred to the Energy Resources committee for review.
