Oil and Gas Resource Management
The Illinois Department of Natural Resources' Office of Oil and Gas Resource Management regulates the injection of fluids into underground injection wells through the Underground Injection Control Program and cleans up abandoned well sites through the Plugging and Restoration Fund (PRF) and Landowner Grant programs.
Through these three programs, the office ensures the protection and proper development of Illinois' oil and gas resources, while protecting the state's environment, land, and water resources.
The office accomplishes this through its administrative, enforcement, permitting and technical services units. District offices are in Centralia and Mount Carmel, with the main office in Springfield.
