There are 33 oil producing states, and each state regulates the oil and gas industries within its boundaries.
For example, Kansas is the 8th highest producer of fossil fuels. Kevin Boyles and Team Resources LLC have acquired over 30,000 acres of abandoned lease holdings to revitalize the orphaned oil and gas wells there. These are some of the state regulations that they must conform to:
"Team Resources LLC", says Kevin Boyles "adheres to the guidelines set up and regulated by the Kansas Corporation Commission or "KCC". When drilling a well, we are required to set surface casing at a depth below the fresh water table. This steel casing is cemented from bottom to surface and then is pressure tested to insure the protection of the fresh water. When we reach the total depth of the well production casing is cemented in place with adequate cement placed to protect reservoirs between the bottom of the hole and the surface. When completing a reservoir, proven completion techniques are implemented.
Kevin Boyles states that "Team Resources LLC is not drilling wells which require large slick water fracs (forcing hundreds of thousands barrels of water into a formation)."
