Governor appoints members to Oil & Gas Conservation Commission

Gov. Doug Ducey reappointed four members and one new member to the Arizona Oil & Gas Conservation Commission.  This is the first time in a number of years that all the positions are filled.

The AZOGCC consists of five members appointed by the Governor and one ex-officio member, the State Land Commissioner. The Arizona Geological Survey (AZGS) provides administrative and staff support. Current Commission members include J. Dale Nations, Tucson, Chairman; Stephen R. Cooper, Casa Grande; William C. Feyerabend, Prescott Valley; Frank Thorwald, Sun City; Robert L. Wagner, Mesa; and Lisa Atkins, ex-officio member and State Land Commissioner.    

The Commission has no staff of its own, so the Arizona Geological Survey provides technical and administrative support to the Commission and carries out its decisions.
