On a visit to Pennsylvania Thursday, Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Andrew Wheeler officially rescinded limits on methane emissions from the U.S. oil and gas industry set in 2016 by the Obama administration. The EPA says the move will relieve regulatory burdens on smaller oil and gas drillers while continuing to protect the environment and human health.
Many oilfield service providers and oil and gas producers are struggling to stay afloat in the wake of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus. The EPA rollbacks are part of the agency’s response to President Donald Trump’s Executive Order on Promoting Energy Independence and Economic Growth.
