California Oil & Gas Regulations: SB 1137 Compliance Made Simple
California Senate Bill 1137 (SB 1137) establishes health protection zones. Operators within these zones face new requirements for methane detection, safety protocols, water testing, and pollutant control to protect communities and ensure responsible energy production.
CalGEM data indicates that over 25% of California's oil and gas wells fall within the newly designated buffer zones. To meet these evolving demands, operators need advanced monitoring solutions that safeguard public trust, ensure compliance, and support operational excellence.
