  • The U.S. Interior Department issues final regulations aimed at cutting methane leaks from oil and gas production on federal lands, in one of the last major Obama administration rules aimed at fighting climate change.
  • The department's Bureau of Land Management says the rule, updating 30-year-old regulations that govern flaring, venting and natural gas leaks from oil and gas production, could avoid wasting up to 41B cf/year of natural gas.
  • The rules are aimed at helping meet an Obama administration goal of cutting the oil and gas industry’s emissions of methane, a potent greenhouse gas, by as much as 45% from 2012 levels over the next decade.
  • An Interior Department fact sheet says that during 2009-15, oil and gas producers vented, flared and leaked 462B cf of natural gas on federal and tribal lands.
