Colorado Statutes
§ 34-61-104 — Oil or gas entering coal seams
When boreholes for gas or oil are
drilled in the coal measures and pass through workable seams, if gas or oil is
encountered in such borehole, the coal seams or worked out coal seams shall be
sufficiently protected by casing so that the gas or oil shall not come in contact with
the coal seams or enter the excavations of worked out seams. When no oil or gas is
located and the borehole has been abandoned, a solid cement plug shall be placed
extending from fifty feet below each coal seam to fifty feet above the top of each
coal seam and at the surface to a depth of twenty feet.
