The OGC serves Arkansans by providing a scientific and technically-based regulatory framework to support economic development while respecting the environment and Arkansas’s natural resources—its fresh air, abundant water, and varying landscapes.
"We serve the citizens of Arkansas and the regulated community with an efficient and scientifically-based regulatory framework. The Oil & Gas Commission (OGC) issues permits to drill, operate, produce, and plug wells. OGC also issues permits for seismic operations for exploration of oil and natural gas; regulates the gathering, handling, and transportation of exploration and production fluids; and regulates natural gas pipelines."
