The project team consists of representatives of the Montana Board of Oil & Gas Conservation (MBOGC) and Arthur Langhus Layne - LLC (ALL Consulting). A brief description of the project team members are presented below:

Montana Board of Oil & Gas Conservation: The MBOGC is quasi-judicial body that is attached to the Department of Natural Resources & Conservation (DNRC). It has primary jurisdiction over the oil and gas industry within the state of Montana. As such, the MBOGC is charged with protecting the environment from the adverse effects of the upstream petroleum industry, with preventing the waste of oil and gas resources of the state, and with protecting petroleum mineral interests. The agency licenses operators, issues permits for producing and injection wells, tracks compliance with state environmental regulations, and enforces applicable state laws and regulations. It maintains a library of well cutting samples and core samples in Billings (the cores, themselves, are stored in the U.S. Geological Survey Depository in Arvada, Colorado). Since 1993, the board has performed the certification required for companies to receive tax incentives available for horizontal wells and enhanced recovery projects. An even newer responsibility is the Underground Injection Control Program.
