EPA to Propose Methane Emission Cuts for Oil and Gas Industry

From Brian Wingfield, Bloomberg Business News, August 18, 2015

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency will announce on Tuesday proposed regulations to curb emissions from the nation’s oil and natural gas industry, according to the American Petroleum Institute’s regulatory chief.

EPA will issue three proposed rules affecting methane emissions from sources including new hydraulically fractured wells, Howard Feldman, senior director of regulatory and scientific affairs at the Washington-based API, said by phone. EPA spokeswoman Liz Purchia declined to comment. Feldman said he was briefed by people outside of the EPA with direct knowledge of the plan and announcement, which were first reported by the Wall Street Journal.
