Abstract

In addition to legislative reform, Illinois oil and gas law has been further defined by two cases decided in the past year: Tri-Power Resources, Inc. v. City of Carlyle, which allows "non-home-rule unit" municipalities to prevent oil and gas drilling through zoning ordinances, and Nye v. Leavell, which confirms Illinois' position on what constitutes "production" under a lease. The Tri-Power Resources decision leaves the industry in a rather precarious position moving forward.
