Okla. Stat. tit. 27A, § 27A-3-5-101: Short title - Legislative findings and intent

A. This act shall be known and may be cited as the “Oklahoma

Carbon Capture and Geologic Sequestration Act”.

B. It is the intent of the Legislature that:

1. Efforts to capture, purify, compress, transport, inject, and

store or sequester carbon dioxide will enhance the production of oil

and natural gas in the state, further the development and production

of natural resources in the state, and provide opportunities for

economic growth and development for the state; and

2. In accordance with the Oklahoma Carbon Capture and Geologic

Sequestration Act, the Corporation Commission shall regulate all

aspects of such process, including being responsible for making any

necessary findings concerning the suitability of the reservoir

targeted for carbon sequestration, whether its use for such purpose

is in the public interest, and the impact of that use on the oil,

gas, coal-bed methane and mineral brine resources in this state.
