Résumé

This Part of Chapter 377 of the Florida Statutes regulates oil and gas resources. It declares the public policy of this state to conserve and control the natural resources of oil and gas in this state, and the products made from oil and gas in this state; to prevent waste of natural resources; to provide for the protection and adjustment of the correlative rights of the owners of the land in which the natural resources lie, of the owners and producers of oil and gas resources and the products made from oil and gas, and of others interested in these resources and products; to safeguard the health, property, and public welfare of the residents of this state and other interested persons and for all purposes indicated by the provisions in this section. Further, it is declared that underground storage of natural gas is in the public interest because underground storage promotes conservation of natural gas; makes gas more readily available to the domestic, commercial, and industrial consumers of this state; and allows the accumulation of large quantities of gas in reserve for orderly withdrawal during emergencies or periods of peak demand. More specifically, the Part provides for the Governor to enter into interstate compact to conserve oil and gas; the Division of Resource Management, its powers, duties, and authority; the Division of Technical Services, and its geological functions; prohibition of waste; notice of intention to drill well, permits, and abandoned wells and dry holes; natural gas storage facility permit application to inject gas into and recover gas from a natural gas storage reservoir; permits for drilling or exploring and extracting through well holes or by other means; natural gas storage facilities; protection of water supplies; property rights to injected natural gas; agreements in interest of conservation; prohibition of pollution; illegal oil, gas, and other products; and creation of the Big Cypress Swamp Advisory Committee for management of the Big Cypress watershed.
