Oil and gas operators hoping for an all-access pass to drill in Pennsylvania were thwarted last week when the Commonwealth Court ruled as unconstitutional amendments to the state’s Oil and Gas Act that would have required municipalities to adopt uniform zoning ordinances allowing drilling in all zoning districts, industry lawyers said.
