CORRECTION: AOGCC letter incorrectly described

Petroleum News

Petroleum News made an error in describing the contents of a letter from the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The letter was mentioned in an article on the governor’s geothermal and CCUS bills in the March 12 issue of Petroleum News.

The letter, sent to EPA as an email, was a notice of intent to participate in EPA’s Underground Injection Control Class VI grant program. It also said AOGCC would apply for Class VI primacy.

In the PN story there was no mention of the grant program.

The letter’s header reads: “Letter of Intent from Alaska for the Underground Injection Control (UIC) Class VI Grant Program.”

A revised fiscal note from the agency reflects the potential federal funding for this program.

Petroleum News apologizes for the error.
