Colorado oil and gas regulators are beginning a three-day set of hearings starting Monday. The nine-member Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission will discuss changes to ‘setback’ rules – the minimum distance required between drilling rigs and homes.

Fort Collins city council members have voted unanimously to halt new oil and gas development—including hydraulic fracturing—for seven months. The move comes as city officials are looking to write long-term rules around the practice, and state rules also appear to be in flux.
