 		   The Oil and Gas
 		     Division regulates the drilling and production of oil and gas in North
 		     Dakota. Our mission is to encourage and promote the development,
 		     production, and utilization of oil and gas in the state in such a manner
 		     as will prevent waste, maximize economic recovery, and fully protect the
  		     correlative rights of all owners to the end that the landowners, the
  		     royalty owners, the producers, and the general public realize the greatest
 		     possible good from these vital natural resources.
