Colorado Oil & Gas Conservation Commission & Violations
COGCC Regulations & Their Violations
The Colorado Oil & Gas Conservation Commission (COGCC) monitors the
oil and gas industry to foster the responsible development of these natural
resources and seeks to serve all parties involved in this field. The commission
is concerned with efficient exploration, protection of public health,
safety and welfare, prevention of waste, protection of mineral owners'
rights and environmental protection. It lays down many rules regarding
these matters, specifically covering such issues as:
When these regulations are violated, there are specific procedures that
must be followed. This begins with a Notice of Alleged Violation (NOAV)
and allows the opportunity to resolve the matter without an enforcement
hearing. It is vital you seek the advice of a
Colorado oil and gas law attorney, who can seek to achieve a favorable outcome for you and represent you
at the hearing should the matter proceed.
