Ashland Oil Co. v. Corporation Comm'n

In Ashland Oil Co. v. Corporation Comm'n, 1979 OK 17, 595 P.2d 423, the Court ruled that amendments to Section 310 of Title 52, supplied the statutory basis to hold an operator liable for plugging or replugging a well. For its holding, the Court used the language of Section 310(A)(2), stating, "the operator of the well or any other person responsible for plugging, replugging, or repairing the well in such manner as is necessary to prevent further or future pollution cannot be found or is financially unable to pay the cost of performing said work."
