RRC Notice to Oil and Gas Operators

Notice from Chairman on Federal Solicitation to Purchase American-Made Crude Oil

Railroad Commission of Texas Chairman Wayne Christian is issuing this Notice to Operators to make Texas oil and gas operators aware of an important opportunity to help maintain production and employment levels in Texas.

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has issued a solicitation to purchase an initial 30 million barrels of American-made crude oil to fill the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. The solicitation can be found on the DOE website at https://www.spr.doe.gov/doeec/OilPurchase.htm.

The DOE’s focus on the initial purchase is small to midsize producers, and the Chairman strongly encourages Texas producers to consider this opportunity.
