AI Summary

Oil and Gas Water Recycling and Reuse Act - SB 1414

  • Establishes the "Oil and Gas Water Recycling and Reuse Act" and codifies it as Section 155 of Title 52 of the Oklahoma Statutes.

  • Defines "fluid oil and gas waste" as waste containing salt, mineralized substances, brine, hydraulic fracturing fluid, flowback water, produced water, or other fluids arising from drilling or production of oil and gas.
