    EPA Set to Weaken Methane Regulations for Oil and Gas Industry

    The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is poised to release a draft proposal that would significantly weaken regulations on methane emissions from the oil and gas industry. The new rules, expected to be published within days, would allow for additional leaking, venting, and flaring, which could significantly raise emissions of the potent greenhouse gas. The revisions would also rescind the agency's Methane Super Emitter Program and ease regulations for other operation components. Environmental advocates argue that the proposed rollback reflects a coordinated industry wish list.
