"Natural gas" means natural or petroleum gas  in  a  non-liquid  or   gaseous  state,  whether under pressure or otherwise, and whether or not   the product of  conversion  from  liquefied  natural  gas  or  liquefied   petroleum  gas.  The  storage and transportation of natural gas, whether   under pressure or not, and which take place at normal temperatures,  are   not subject to this act.5.  "Non-conforming  facility"  means a liquefied natural or petroleum   gas facility in actual use and operation on  September  first,  nineteen   hundred  seventy-six  which is exempted from the requirements of section   23-1707 but is subject to the requirements of section 23-1719.6.

2021 New York Laws ENV - Environmental Conservation Article 23 - Mineral Resources Title 24 - New York State Oil Energy Conservation Program 23-2401 - Legislative Intent.

§ 23-2401. Legislative intent.The  legislature  finds  and  declares  that  the  conservation of the   state's oil reserves will be of broad  benefit  to  the  state.  Through   utilization  of  modern well closure technologies, oil will be conserved   for the state's future. The legislature further finds that such  closure   will  provide  an  increased supply of high grade crude oil used for the   development of advanced lubricants which are crucial in the promotion of   the use of high efficiency engines.  In  recognition  of  the  potential   energy  conservation  benefits  to  be  accrued from the closure of such   wells, the legislature declares  that  a  program  directed  toward  the   implementation  of  modern  well  closure  technologies on abandoned oil   wells will provide energy, economic and environmental  benefits  to  the   state.
