The concurrent resolution recognizes the significant benefits of enhanced oil recovery (EOR) in North Dakota, particularly in relation to the Bakken Formation, which is a major oil-producing region. It highlights the economic contributions of the oil and gas industry to the state, including substantial tax revenues and job creation. The resolution emphasizes that current oil recovery methods only tap into a fraction of the available resources and that EOR could potentially unlock billions of barrels of additional oil, thereby extending production for decades. Furthermore, it acknowledges the coal industry's role in developing carbon capture technologies, which are essential for maximizing EOR and enhancing energy security.

The resolution calls on both the State of North Dakota and the federal government to maintain supportive policies for the development of carbon capture technology and the utilization of carbon dioxide as a commodity. It urges the federal government to create incentives for the use of carbon dioxide in EOR and to strengthen partnerships with North Dakota's energy sectors to advance these technologies. The resolution aims to promote energy security and economic growth in the state while aligning with national goals for energy dominance. Copies of the resolution are to be forwarded to key federal officials and members of the North Dakota Congressional Delegation.
