Summary of WV Bills Passed and Defeated Related to Oil & Gas

This year's 60-day session of the West Virginia legislature, which ended at the stroke of midnight on Sunday, saw a flurry of oil and gas-related bills. Perhaps the most important such bill for the industry, to expand forced pooling, failed (see West Virginia Forced Pooling Bill is Dead for Another Year). However, another important bill, one that changes how oil and gas wells are valued for property taxes, passed after getting a major makeover (see WV Passes Bill to Change O&G Well Valuations for Taxes). There were other bills related to O&G, some of which passed, others that did not.
