30-5-502. Certification of carbon dioxide incidentally stored during enhanced recovery operations.

(a) If there is production of oil, gas or both from enhanced recovery operations under a commission order entered pursuant to W.S. 30-5-110 utilizing the injection of carbon dioxide, the commission upon voluntary application by the unit operator, and after review of the operator s plan for accounting for the incidentally stored carbon dioxide, may enter an order recognizing the incidental storage of carbon dioxide occurring through the enhanced recovery operation and certifying the quantity of carbon dioxide being stored. An application or certification under this section does not subject the enhanced recovery operation to the requirements of W.S. 35-11-313 through 35-11-318 or require the operator to obtain a permit under those sections.

(b) Prior to the commission entering an order pursuant to subsection (a) of this section, the commission shall, in consultation with the department of environmental quality, promulgate rules establishing standards and procedures for the certification of incidental storage of carbon dioxide and the certification of quantities of carbon dioxide incidentally stored.
