Lessons / Oil and Gas

oil-and-gas

Need to figure out how to link in movie of the oil pump running... host on YouTube or other?

Background

Did you know that oil and gas development helps pay for water programs and projects? Severance tax is collected when oil and gas are extracted from the ground, and these funds are used for water programs. What will happen if we move to renewable energy and oil and gas severance taxes are less?

Entities that own water rights may also lease water for oil and gas development, thereby providing revenue for water infrastructure projects.

  • Need to discuss economic and environmental impact, climate change, etc.
  • Need to link to oil and gas commission website.

What can you do?

Need to insert information and links.
