- AR Code
- Title 15
- Chapter 76
- Subchapter 3
(a) Whenever it shall appear that any person is violating, or threatening to violate, any provision of this subchapter or any rule or order made thereunder by any act done in the operation of any well for the production of brine or the injection of effluent into an aquifer for disposal or injection purposes or by omitting any act required to be done thereunder, the Oil and Gas Commission, through its counsel or the Attorney General, may bring suit against that person in the circuit court in the county in which the well in question is located to restrain the person from continuing the violation or from carrying out the threat of violation. In that suit, the commission may obtain injunctions, prohibitory and mandatory, including temporary restraining orders and temporary injunctions as the facts may warrant, including, when appropriate, an injunction restraining any person from producing brine or injecting effluent into an aquifer.
(b) If the defendant cannot be personally served with summons in that county, personal jurisdiction of that defendant in that suit may be obtained by service made on any employee or agent of that defendant working on or about any well involved in that suit and by the commission mailing a copy of the complaint in the action to the defendant at the address of the defendant then recorded with the Director of Production and Conservation.
