Do excavators working in oil and gas operations have to call for locates before they dig?
• Any operation related to exploration and production of crude oil or natural gas is not considered excavation. Therefore, excavators performing this type of work are exempt from the requirement to request locates under KUUDPA. For their own safety and to minimize their liability, Staff strongly encourages all excavators to call before digging.
