Drilling units-size limitation.
Maddy summaryHB 94 sets a maximum size of 1,280 acres for oil and gas drilling units in Wyoming, directly affecting oil and gas operators who establish these land groupings for drilling. The bill amends state law to require that drilling units must be large enough to efficiently drain with one well but cannot exceed 1,280 acres. This change applies to all new drilling unit orders issued on or after July 1, 2022. The law aims to standardize unit sizes for operational efficiency without specifying environmental or economic impacts.
