Summary/Abstract
The “Oklahoma Carbon Capture and Geologic Sequestration Act” gives jurisdiction to the Corporation Commission to oversee CO2 injections in oil or gas reservoirs and to the Department of Environmental Quality for any other geologic formations. Authorizes the respective agencies to conduct permitting and other regulation for CO2 storage within their jurisdiction. The legislative findings state: “Storage of carbon dioxide in geological formations is an effective and feasible strategy to deposit, store or sequester large volumes of carbon dioxide over long periods of time.”
