Hearing Docket Agenda For April 27 - 28, 2016 -- IN PROGRESS

Earlier it was reported: April 11 - 14, 2016: There is one case. The case will be heard on four successive days in each of four cities in North Dakota: Williston, Dickinson, Minot, and Bismarck. The case, number 24957, is on a motion of the Commission to consider adopting new rules and amendments to the "General Rules and Regulations for the Conservation of Crude Oil and Natural Gas" codified as Article 43-02 North Dakota Administrative Code.

I do not know the outcome of that hearing. I assume there will be an update available if not already available somewhere.

In addition to that agenda item, the NDIC will hear the following new cases (as well as "continued" cases which I do not repeat) later in the month:
