regulations

The Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement is proposing regulations that would improve operational safety, human health, and environmental protections offshore, while providing clarity to industry regarding the bureau's review of projects proposing to use new or unusual technology, including equipment used in high-pressure/high-temperature environments.

The rule would require publicly traded companies to report not only their greenhouse-gas emissions but also their approach to managing climate change, likely setting up a long legal fight.

A new gas-gathering rule that has been issued by the US Department of Transportation's Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration will soon expand oversight to all onshore gas-gathering pipelines, including about 425,000 miles of lines that had not previously been documented in annual reporting.

The Biden administration reversed a Trump administration plan that would have allowed the government to lease more than two-thirds of the country’s largest swath of public land to oil and gas drilling.

Companies want to build pipelines to capture and store carbon, but a new report warns that regulators aren’t prepared.

In a 5–4 split, the US Supreme Court temporarily revived a Trump-era rule intended to fast-track big energy projects by limiting the states' power to curtail them under the Clean Water Act.

A rule finalized by the White House will require agencies to assess the climate impact of roads, pipelines, and other infrastructure.

Induced seismicity put a stop to hydraulic fracturing in the UK, but rising natural gas prices might change that.

US officials adopted the rule aimed at reducing deaths and environmental damage from oil and gas pipeline ruptures as a response to fatal explosions and massive spills that have occurred over decades in California, Michigan, New Jersey, and other states.

The U.S. Interior Department said it can move forward with planning for oil and gas leasing on federal lands after previous delays stemming from a court move blocking a climate accounting tool.
