Ky/Tenn Report
Volume 16, Number 7 June 2009
OIL & GAS BOARD HEARING, JULY 15, TOGA ON AGENDA-TOGA
president Scott Gilbert is scheduled to appear before the
Tennessee Oil & Gas Board on July 15h, to outline the
association's concern about the frequent use of written and
unwritten policy by the Water Pollution Control staff. Gilbert
will tell the board he believes that policy should always
be written and presented to the Oil & Gas Board for a
public hearing before being enforced. The board then could
approve, modify or disapprove the staff- drafted policy. TOGA
concerns cover the new casing policy, plug or produce policy,
abandon well policy and other areas. The oil and gas board
meets on the 11th floor of the L&C Building, 401 Church,
Nashville, TN.
BRUNER NAMED OILMAN OF THE YEAR-James C. Bruner, New
River Energy, LLC, was named Oilman of the Year for 2008 during
the 2009 TOGA convention in Knoxville. Bruner earned the award
for his effort in building a major lease position, which attracted
CNX Gas and Atlas America into Tennessee.
PLUGGING TOUR SCHEDULED-Mike Burton, Oil & Gas
Supervisor, reports that there will be a plugging tour for
those who want to bid on the next round of plugging of abandon
wells by the state. The two day tour starts Thursday, July
23, 2009 at 9:00 a.m. CST, from the Hardees parking lot in
Livingston. Friday's schedule depends upon how many well sites
are visited on Thursday. Most of the wells to be plugged are
in Overton, Pickett, Fentress and Morgan counties.
TOGA DIDN'T ELECT GUESS, IT ELECTED GRIFFITH VP-Vickie
Guess was most of the TOGA board's choice for election to
the position as Vice President and they planned to elect her
to the post at the convention. But before she got to the convention,
she and Ronnie Griffith got married. So when it was announced
in the newsletter last month that Guess was elected vice president,
it wasn't quite correct. Same person, different name. Ronnie
reports that he is in charge in this marriage. He always gets
the last word in any discussion, when he concludes with, "anything
you say, Vicki."
TOGA SEEKS HOST, SITE FOR NEXT MEETING-The next quarterly
meeting of the Tennessee Oil & Gas Board will be held
in September. At this time, we don't have a meeting, site,
host or sponsor. If you have any suggestions as to where to
hold the meeting or if you are interesting in sponsoring,
hosting or co-hosting, contact Scott Gilbert at 865-679-6161.
SHANNON BORUFF PASSES AWAY-On Tuesday, June 30th,
Shannon Boruff lost her long running battle with cancer and
passed away. Shannon was the daughter of Sharon and Deloy
Miller and the wife of Scott Boruff, Miller Petroleum CEO.
Funeral services were held in Knoxville on Friday, July 3,
2009.
IOGCC SEEKS ENVIRONMENTAL NOMINEES- The Interstate
Oil & Gas Compact Commission is seeking nominations for
the 2009 Chairman's Stewardship Award to honor outstanding
environmental and educational stewards of the oil and gas
industry. Nominations must be received by August 3. For more

Batdorf at 405-525-3556, extension 114.
ENGINEER LOOKING-I live in Oklahoma but want to move
to Tennessee in a few years. I have a BS in Electrical Engineering
Technology and a MS in Engineering Technology Management,
plus two year oil and gas experience. I also spent 5 years
on duty aboard a Nuclear Powered Submarine. Contact Jimmy
Wren at Letumland@yahoo.com for a copy of his resume.
28 MEMBERS BEING DROPPED FROM MEMBERSHIP ROLES-The
TOGA offices sent final dues notices to 51 members who have
not paid their dues. So far all but 28 have responded. Those
members will be dropped from the roles and will not be included
in the 2009-2010 directory, now being compiled. They will
receive this newsletter but that is the last one. If you are
uncertain if you have paid or not, contact Teresa at the TOGA
office at 615-371-6137.
CHRISTMAS PARTY DEC. 12TH, DANCING BEAR LODGE-Toga
President Scott Gilbert has announced that the TOGA Christmas
Party will return to the Dancing Bear Lodge in Townsend again
this year. More details later this year.
TVA PLANS NATURAL GAS PLANT FOR TENNESSEE- TVA has
announced plans to build a $820 million natural gas power
plant in northeastern Tennessee to comply with a North Carolina
air quality suit. TVA says it can get the three gas turbines
at the new plant on line by the end of 2011 and is considering
a site near the John Sevier coal-fired plant near Rogersville.
