The EPA is considering a new label for parts of the Permian Basin that could deter or slow oil and gas drilling in certain parts of the prolific Permian Basin.
According to a regulatory notice, the EPA could label parts of the Permian Basin as violating federal air quality standards for ozone. If the EPA does indeed label parts as violating the standards, state regulators would need to find a way to clean up the air quality—and they would have three years to come up with a plan to do that. Their plans could include keeping new industrial facilities from making the air quality even worse and making sure current sites have the proper technology to keep the air quality at acceptable levels.
The EPA is facing a potential lawsuit from WildEarth Guardians over the matter, who brought the air quality issue to the EPA's attention last March.
The possible regulatory action adds yet another element of uncertainty to the oil industry, which is already facing an unknown future while being chastised for not investing more to produce more—whether that's refining or drilling.
"Creating uncertainty on permitting and inserting unnecessary regulatory barriers will only negatively impact the production necessary to meet the needs of consumers," Todd Staples, president of the Texas Oil and Gas Association, told Bloomberg.
The Permian Basin is responsible for the lion's share of the oil produced in the United States. In its latest Drilling Productivity Report, the EIA forecast that the Permian Basin's July production will climb to 5.316 million bpd, out of the total 8.901 million bpd produced across the seven most prolific U.S. basins. In June, the Permian is set to produce 5.232 million bpd, according to the EIA.

“New Regulations In Permian Could Deter Drilling”
TAKE THAT PUTIN!!!! We don’t need your stinky oil! We’ve got plenty here!
Yup! That branDUHn is doing everything he can to booteejudge us on a daily basis. Of course the “buck” doesn’t stop anywhere near him. 😵💫🤡🤬
THE SMOKE FROM THE FIRES THE USFS CAUSED CONTRIBUTED TO THIS OZONE PROBLEM-—BET YOU.
Well, this country is in a hole.
And the Biden Administration just keeps digging.
Except, you know, they’ve sort of made digging illegal, if you know what I mean. It’s a special kind of stupid.
enviro wackos in control
They are using same tactics used against logging, etc...lawsuits
If we stop removing that evil Oil it will move to the surface and cause a Real Mess ,LOL
Do what Mad Maxine says is acceptable for the left- ignore the order and do not comply. Cmon Gov. Abbot - step up
Lets see the EPA bureaucrats come to Midland and Odessa and forcibly shut down the wells
Push to electric when people can’t afford the vehicles and states like Texas are having rolling blackouts/brownouts.
Seems supporting democrats is all a foreign adversary need do to destroy America.
Ozone? I wouldn’t have imagined that. It’s amazing how creative our government can be when it hates you.
They want to take millions of vehicles off the roads and force us to use public transportation or use uber as needed.
A whiter group of trust fund kiddies would be hard to find. They have fame from winning a case back in 2011 that added hundreds of species to wildlife protected status.
Like almost all of the Greens legal wins, the government simply does not fight them in court but accedes to their wishes, plus legal fees to keep them going.
And here the EPA is looking to these anarchists for legal, social or business advice?
They want us dead. No more complicated than that.
Be a shame if they got dead first.
“Cmon Gov. Abbot - step up. Lets see the EPA bureaucrats come to Midland and Odessa and forcibly shut down the wells”
I hear you, but we don’t live in that world anymore. Thank Canadian Truckers - all DC has to do is type a few keystrokes and Abbot’s bank accounts are frozen, a few more and they’re drained. Anyone try to help Abbot, same treatment, and their families. (and trust me, bank accounts are only one for a near-infinite number of tools available to them)
First step for Texas has to be severing ourselves from DC, in every way possible. Then we can start with some hardball.

Isn’t that how the government funds these crazy groups

Yep in a hole being run by an asshole (Biden)
“It’s a special kind of stupid”.
Do you really believe they are stupid
$5.50 gasoline, here we come!
