Oklahoma Brine Development Act; clarifying application of act; adding and modifying definitions; clarifying Corporation Commission jurisdiction; modifying provisions related to brine, produced water, and constituent element rights. Emergency.

Corrected header information to reflect the House floor version while maintaining the Committee Substitute designation.

Standardized the summary of legislative intent and statutory amendments to match the Committee substitute text.

Removed duplicate page headers and footer metadata (e.g., 'Req. No. 3739') that appeared in the original draft but were not part of the final bill text.

Fixed line breaks and spacing issues in the definitions section to improve readability and consistency.

Definitions were updated to clarify that 'brine' includes all constituent parts and chemical substances, and to explicitly define 'produced water' as a target for commercial extraction.

The definition of 'common source of supply' was refined to specify that areas underlain by more than one common accumulation of brine separated by earth strata are considered separate sources.

New definitions were added for 'effluent' (liquid remaining after extraction) and 'manufacture' (the complete process of drilling and extracting).

The document structure was changed from a draft format to a formal 'Committee Substitute' with updated page numbers and request numbers.

Added a new definition for 'Brine common source of supply' to clarify that areas underlain by a single accumulation of brine are treated as one source, while areas with multiple separated accumulations are treated as separate sources.

Modified the scope of application to specify that the act's amendatory provisions apply only to brine unitization applications filed on or after the effective date.

Removed the 'PROPOSED OVERSIGHT' title and replaced it with 'COMMITTEE SUBSTITUTE FOR ENGROSSED', indicating the bill has moved from a review stage to a final version.

Updated the request number from 17385 to 17431 and adjusted page numbering to reflect the new text structure.

The bill was entirely replaced with a new version that broadens the definition of covered resources to include produced water, not just traditional brine.

Definitions were updated to clarify that 'produced water' is defined by a specific section of the Oklahoma Statutes and to ensure gender-neutral language.

A new exclusion was added stating that water subject to the Oil and Gas Produced Water and Waste Recycling and Reuse Act is not governed by this bill unless it is intended for commercial extraction.

Statutory references were updated to reflect the current year (2021) and corrected internal numbering errors found in the original text.

The legislative findings were updated to emphasize reducing the disposal of brine water (produced water) and encouraging its reuse and recycling.

The Act now explicitly covers the production of brine, produced water, and solution gas, whereas the original version focused primarily on brine and solution gas.

The definition of 'Brine' was revised to remove redundant phrasing and clarify that gas is not included in the term.

A new definition for 'Associated oil or gas production' was added to clarify when produced water is extracted as an incident to oil or gas production.

The definition of 'Brine owner' was updated to include owners of produced water from which constituent elements are recovered.

The definition of 'Brine production unit' was slightly modified to include 'related injection of effluent'.

Several definitions were renumbered and reorganized, and language was made gender-neutral throughout the text.

The bill was amended to include changes in Sections 503, 504, 506, 507, 508, 510, 516, 517, and 519, which were not present in the introduced version, indicating a broader scope of regulatory changes.
