  EOR Status:	Definition of 'sequester' includes EOR

• Kansas HB 2419

  EOR Status:	Definition of carbon dioxide well includes wells associated with EOR.

• Louisiana HB 661

  EOR Status:	Nothing in this bill prevents injection of CO2 for EOR
  Notes:	The bill gives the commissioner authority to approve conversion of an EOR facility into a storage facility.

• Montana HB 3

  Notes:	EOR equipment is eligible for property tax incentive.

• Montana SB 498

  EOR Status:	This bill does not impede or impair EOR operations, including the right to sell emission reduction credits associated with EOR. The term carbon dioxide injection well does not include UIC Class II wells.
  Notes:	The board shall develop rules for conversion of EOR wells to carbon dioxide injection wells.

• North Dakota SB 2095

  EOR Status:	This bill does not apply to EOR projects. The Commission may allow an EOR project to be converted to a storage facility.
  Notes:	The Commission may adopt procedures and criteria to determine the amount of injected CO2 stored in an EOR project, to facilitate carbon credits or allowances for EOR projects.

• Oklahoma SB 1765

  EOR Status:	This bill does not apply to EOR

• Texas HB 469

  Notes:	The recovered oil tax rate is reduced 50% for EOR projects that use anthropogenic CO2, and that will conduct a monitoring and verification program to reasonably demonstrate that at least 99% of the injected CO2 will remain sequestered for 1,000 years.

• Texas SB 1387

  EOR Status:	This bill does not apply to injection of fluid through a UIC Class II well for EOR. A conversion of a well from use in EOR to use in geologic storage is not considered to be a change in the purpose of the well. Provisions related to ownership of CO2 do n

• Utah SB 202

  EOR Status:	Rules do not apply to fluids injected through UIC Class II wells for enhanced hydrocarbon recovery.
  Notes:	Rules should address conversion of enhanced oil recovery operations to carbon dioxide geological sequestration sites.

• West Virginia HB 2860

  EOR Status:	CO2 injected for EOR is not subject to provisions of this bill. This bill does not impede or impair EOR operations, including the right to sell emission reduction credits associated with EOR. If an EOR operator converts its operations to CO2 sequestration
