The Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (COGCC) last month released its first annual report to evaluate the cumulative impacts of oil and natural gas emissions, setting the stage for future evaluations and recommendations.

State Senate Bill (SB) 181, enacted in 2019, is designed to limit the effects of emissions and environmental disruptions from oil and gas development. 

“As the first year of Oil and Gas Development Plan (OGDP) approvals after the Mission Change rules went into effect on January 15, 2021, the data set included in this report is small – it is limited to the seven approved OGDPs,” said COGCC Director Julie Murphy in a letter to Commissioners included in the report.
