Introducing RRC LoneSTAR and Forms P-5, W-3C and W-3X Online Filing

The RRC has embarked on its largest information technology project in agency history with creation of the RRC State Tracking and Reporting system, or LoneSTAR. This online application will allow users to make online filings and view records and track various RRC regulatory functions. The first LoneSTAR release, scheduled to go live in the fall of 2021, will include the processes for filing the Form P-5, Organization Report, required to become, or renew as, an oil or gas operator or pipeline operator under the jurisdiction of the RRC. Also included in the first release are the Form W-3C, for Certification of Surface Equipment Removal for an Inactive Well, and Form W-3X, the Application for an Extension of Deadline for Plugging an Inactive Well.
