## Resource

In this episode, TXOGA President Todd Staples is joined by TXOGA Vice President & General Counsel Cory Pomeroy and TXOGA Vice President of Government and Regulatory Affairs Tulsi Oberbeck for a deep dive into the 89th legislative session and the key bills impacting the Texas oil and natural gas industry. Tune in for a breakdown of how Senate Bill 1145 and House Bill 49 are poised to transform produced water from a waste product into a valuable resource. We will also cover the industry's significant efforts in well plugging, and how new bills like Senate Bill 1146 and Senate Bill 1150 are introducing stricter, more transparent regulations to tackle orphan wells. There’s so much to unpack, we couldn’t fit everything into one episode! Keep an eye out for Part 2 later this month for discussions on oilfield theft, Texas business courts, and the booming liquefied natural gas industry.
