181 Panel

Six years after SB19-181 reshaped Colorado’s oil and gas regulatory landscape, the industry continues to adapt to a new set of rules and oversight. This panel will examine the profound impacts and ongoing challenges of implementing this legislation, including stricter permitting, shifting production trends, and how communities, regulators, and operators are adapting as the final rulemakings take effect.
