C&E District Offices
The C&E Office of Enforcement’s Orders Division maintains three District Offices statewide, primarily to house supervisors and engineers who oversee oil and gas drilling and related operations, and to serve as headquarters for field agents who conduct site visits and inspections. The northern portion of the state is split between the Monroe and Shreveport district offices, while the Lafayette district office serves the southern portion of the state.
