WASHINGTON – American Exploration and Production Council (AXPC) CEO Anne Bradbury released the following statement, today, regarding the release of the US Environmental Protection Agency’s final rule updating New Source Performance Standards and establishing Emission Guidelines for Crude Oil and Natural Gas Facilities.
“AXPC members are committed to reducing emissions from their operations and support effective and reasonable federal regulation that is workable and incentivizes technology advancement. While we appreciate EPA’s commitment to bringing all stakeholders to the table and see some improvement within the rule, other provisions remain flawed and risk undercutting US production in the near and long-term—which will lead to increased energy costs and reduced energy security. We continue to evaluate this highly technical and complex final rule. It is critical that this rule, as well as other proposed emissions rules, work harmoniously to advance emission reductions while meeting our country’s and the world’s need for reliable, affordable, ever-cleaner energy,” said AXPC CEO, Anne Bradbury.
