SENATE BILL 181 - POTENTIALLY DEVASTATING TO COLORADO OIL &

GAS

This Is A Call To Action To Protest Legislators And Protect The Colorado Families
Who Rely On The Oil & Gas Industry

NUNN, CO, MARCH 5 — 6G Wellhead is one of the many local businesses that could be
negatively impacted by SB 181 which grants local governments the authority to ban entirely
the development of energy resources. This bill has been rapidly introduced under the guise
of being standard environmental regulatory legislation. 6G Wellhead is continuously
innovating manufacturing and servicing processes to ensure wellhead integrity without the
looming threat of harsher regulation being enacted (Section 11:18 of SB 181). There are more
effective methods than regulation to encourage innovation. Industry competition ensures
that the company with best wellhead integrity will be the most successful. Not only is SB 181
misleading, the sponsors of this bill have completely avoided discussion with industry trades
and stakeholders. We invite sponsors of this bill to discuss the intentions and potential effects
with a leader in the local oil & gas community. We are a phone call or email away.

SB 181 was written by legislators who do not have families of the Colorado Oil & Gas
community in mind. We ask that you join us in actively protesting Senate Bill 181 which is
being heard today at 2PM at the State Capitol.

We are Colorado Oil & Gas.

Energy Advocates,

Late Friday afternoon, Boulder lawmakers introduced Senate Bill 19-181, anti-oil and gas
legislation that could have devastating impacts for over 100,000 hard-working families in our
industry. The bill sponsors failed to hold a legitimate stakeholder process, never showed
industry trades the bill, mislead Coloradans about how our rules haven’t been updated in 60
years, and are holding the first hearing just one business day after the bill was introduced.

The bill will be heard in the Senate Transportation & Energy Committee at 2:00 PM on
Tuesday, March 5th in Senate Committee Room 357 (third floor of Capitol).
The time to stand up for your job is NOW. Legislators need to hear our voices and see our
faces. We can make a difference, but it will take all of us. Please take action using the steps
below and share with friends and colleagues!
Rally to protect our jobs. We are calling all members of industry to gather under the rotunda
at the State Capitol at 12:00 PM on Tuesday before the committee hearing. Share the flyer
below with friends and colleagues and stay tuned for more information.
Testify in opposition to the bill. After the rally, industry members need to go inside the Capitol
to testify in opposition to the bill. Legislators must hear your personal, passionate energy story.
Check out these tips for testifying in a legislative committee hearing. Need to brush up on
your facts? COGA's fact sheets can help!
