N.D. Cent. Code § 38-22-19
38-22-19. Enhanced recovery projects
38-22-19. Enhanced recovery projects
1.
This chapter does not apply to applications filed with the commission proposing to use
carbon dioxide for an enhanced oil or gas recovery project, rather such applications
will be processed under chapter 38-08.
2.
The commission may allow an enhanced oil or gas recovery project to be converted to
a storage facility. In considering whether to approve a conversion, and upon
conversion, the provisions of this chapter and its implementing rules apply, but if during
the conversion process unique circumstances arise, the commission, to better ensure
that the chapter's objectives are fulfilled, may waive such provisions and may impose
additional ones.
