What it is and who needs it.
What the salt water tank battery bond covers
Producing oil and gas wells bring up large volumes of salt water (produced water/brine) along with the hydrocarbons. That fluid is collected at the surface in a tank battery before it is hauled or piped to disposal. The Oklahoma Corporation Commission treats salt water as a deleterious substance it must keep out of fresh water and soil.
Under Title 52 the Corporation Commission's Oil and Gas Conservation Division has exclusive jurisdiction over the handling, storage, and disposition of salt water and other deleterious substances produced in connection with oil and gas operations. It conditions certain lease activity on a $10,000 performance bond standing behind that handling.
The bond guarantees the operator's compliance with the Commission's rules for the salt water tank battery on the lease — proper handling and the cleanup obligations that go with it. It is a three-party guarantee: if the surety pays, the operator repays the surety. We issue the $10,000 bond at $200 flat, with one quick soft credit check.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the $10,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
E-sign & file with the Corporation Commission. Pay online and receive the executed $10,000 bond, ready to file with the Oil and Gas Conservation Division. Wet-ink originals mailed on request.
