Colorado Oil, Gas Producers Worried About Potential Greenhouse Gas Regulations On Operations

The Environmental Protection Agency is proposing to expand its first-ever greenhouse-gas reporting requirements to include oil and gas production and related activities.

The proposal could lead to eventual regulations aimed at reducing emissions of such gases.

Rick Matar, air quality practice manager for Williams, the leading natural gas producer in western Colorado's Piceance Basin, said the industry will be spending "quite a bit of money" simply to comply with the reporting requirement.
