Texas Eyes Marine Desalination, Oilfield Water Reuse to Sustain Rapid Growth

In Signal Hill, California, an oil pump jack stands idle near homes, in February 2023. California law S.B. 1137, which required a safety buffer zone of 3,200 feet around homes and schools for new oil and gas drilling, was suspended after the petroleum industry last year collected enough signatures in a petition campaign to place a referendum on the 2024 general election ballot. The bill was originally signed into law by Governor Gavin Newsom last year and also banned new drilling near parks, health care facilities, prisons and businesses open to the public.
