Notes: Data are for the calendar year. Nebraska declined to provide data for enforcement actions. Enforcement staff is the total staff of the commission; all employees' duties include enforcement to some degree. Budget numbers come from the state budget division's website. From 2009 through 2011, the numbers for total wells come from annual reports by the Oil and Gas Conservation Commission and include producing, shut-in and temporarily abandoned wells.
