What is this bond?

This bond is a financial guarantee required for energy operators working on state-managed wildlife lands in Oklahoma. It guarantees that the principal will adhere to the terms of their Surface Contract Agreement, ensuring proper land use and environmental restoration during and after oil or gas drilling operations.

Who needs it?

Oil and gas companies, drillers, and energy operators planning to conduct exploration or drilling activities on surface lands managed by the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation typically need this bond. Any business entering into a surface contract agreement with the department must secure this coverage before beginning operations.

Why is it required?
