Gas Exploration Bill Posted For Comment
The Texas Railroad Commission proposes a rule change by Commissioner John Sharp to promote new gas exploration in Texas. The plan lets new-field wells produce at maximum deliverability for two years or until the sixth well is completed, with priority to new gas and pipelines required to take it first. After two years the system reverts to normal prorationing and priority. Sharp argues the rule will restore markets and help finance exploration while countering fears of shortages.
