IPAA & Producer Associations Sue EPA in Fed Court re Methane Regs

EPA Administrator Michael Regan used a considerable amount of fossil energy and emitted tons of carbon dioxide to jet over to Dubai last December to participate in the COP28 confab, where he released a final rule that was “two years in the making” to force the U.S. oil and gas industry to cut methane emissions by using budget-busting new technologies and onerous (frequent) inspections (see Bidenistas Unleash Hellscape of U.S. Methane Regs at COP28). In March, the State of Texas filed a lawsuit challenging the rule (see Texas Sues EPA to Block “Radical” Methane Regs Threatening Drillers). On Tuesday, the Independent Petroleum Association of America (IPAA) and dozens of state O&G coalitions filed a petition with the D.C. Circuit asking the court to review (and block) the finalized EPA rule.
