Dave Kubeczko, our original Oil and Gas Location Assessment Specialist is retiring!

We are sharing Dave’s big and exciting news that after 14 years as an original OGLA, he is retiring from the commission in July. Dave has been a constant, steady and always available resource for western slope and statewide location permitting. Some career highlights: over 1,360 Form 2A OGLA permit applications and over 2,400 Form 4 Sundries reviewed (not including the paper forms from the old days). Countless on-site meetings with operators, CPW and Federal partners. Congratulations Dave!

SB23-285 "Energy & Carbon Management Regulation In Colorado" signed

Gov. Polis signed SB23-285 "Energy & Carbon Management Regulation In Colorado" sponsored by Sens. Priola & Hansen and Reps. McCormick & Dickson, which renamed the COGCC to the "Energy & Carbon Management Commission" or "ECMC." The new name reflects the expanded regulatory authority over deep geothermal and underground natural gas storage. The change takes place on July 1, 2023. Congratulations to the new ECMC on this incredible new opportunity.
