§ 7043 Petroleum And Gas Exemptions

• •This law does not apply to work done to find, produce, or handle oil or gas.
• •If you own or lease the land, you don’t have to follow these rules when drilling, fixing, or closing oil or gas wells.
• •Other construction or repair work still follows the usual rules.

A company owns land with an oil well and wants to drill a new one.

This law says the company doesn’t have to follow the usual construction rules for drilling the new well because it’s about oil.
