</div><div>
</div><div><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 153, 0);">Methane leaks from oil and gas wells will no longer be regulated in the US, as the Trump administration rolls back a set of environmental rules even in the face of opposition from large energy compani</span>es.</div><div>
</div><div><b>Andrew Wheeler, the head of the US Environmental Protection Agency, announced on Thursday that oil and gas production facilities would no longer have to monitor methane leaks.</b></div><div>
</div><div>Pipeline and storage facility owners, meanwhile, will not have to monitor methane or other compounds, known as volatile organic compounds.</div><div>
</div><div><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 51);">The rules sparked anger when first proposed last August, not only from environmental campaigners, but even from large oil and gas companies. The EPA has pushed ahead, however, as part of a wider programme of rolling back environmental protections put in place by the Obama administration.</span></div><div>
</div><div>Speaking in Pennsylvania, a swing state with a large shale gas industry, <b>Mr Wheeler said: “Regulatory burdens put into place by the Obama-Biden administration fell heavily on small and medium-sized energy businesses. Today’s regulatory changes remove redundant paperwork, align with the Clean Air Act, and allow companies the flexibility to satisfy leak-control requirements by complying with equivalent state rules.”</b></div><div>
</div><div><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 51);">The EPA said they expect the move to save businesses up to $850m in compliance costs from 2021 to 2030. It said last year that it expected an extra 370,000 short tons of methane — equivalent to 8.4m tonnes of carbon dioxide — to be emitted as a result.</span></div><div><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 51);">

</b></div><div><b>As the main component of natural gas, millions of tonnes of unburned methane leak each year from natural gas and petroleum systems, according to EPA data.</b></div><div>
</div><div>Methane traps heat in the atmosphere 25 times more effectively than carbon dioxide and accounts for 10 per cent of US greenhouse gas emissions.</div><div>
</div><div><b>The Environmental Defense Fund, a green campaign group, said on Thursday it planned to sue the Trump administration for announcing the move without scientific justification.</b></div><div>
</div><div>Fred Krupp, the EDF’s president, said: “Like so many other administration rollbacks that have already been rejected by the courts, this one ignores the science, the public health impacts and the low-cost solutions we have at hand.”</div><div>
</div><div><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 153, 0);">BP said it remained committed to adhering to the regulations as put in place by the Obama administration. David Lawler, chairman of BP America, said the company <b>opposed the rollback</b>. “The direct federal regulation of methane emissions is a critical step to protecting the environment and keeping the gas in our pipes in order to provide it to the market,” he said.</span></div><div>
</div><div>
</div><div><b style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">ExxonMobil and Royal Dutch Shell have also opposed the Trump administration move.</b></div><div><b>
</b></div><div><b style="background-color: rgb(255, 153, 0);">The American Petroleum Institute, however, which lobbies on behalf of small and large US oil and gas operators, supported the changes.</b></div><div><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">
</span></div><div><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">Frank Macchiarola, senior vice-president at the API, said: “Our industry continues to drive down methane emissions from operations while meeting America’s energy needs every day.</span>”</div><div>
</div><div><b>The US backtrack on methane sets it apart from other jurisdictions that have taken steps to control leaks including Canada and Mexico,</b> said Sarah Smith of Clean Air Task Force, an environmental group. In Europe, comments on new methane standards closed last week, she said.</div><div>
</div><div>“The US is really alone in rolling this back,” she said. </div><div>
</div><div><b>Lawyers say that Joe Biden, the Democratic presidential candidate, who was vice-president to Barack Obama, could reinstate the regulations if he wins November’s election. Mr Biden has pledged to impose “aggressive” methane limits the day he takes office. </b></div><div>
</div><div><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">Some US oil and gas states are independently cracking down on methane leaks.

</div><div>By Brett Wilkins</div><div>
</div><div>In the latest example of Big Oil’s failure to face public scrutiny for a global crisis driven primarily by its products, Sen. Bernie Sanders said Thursday that a fossil fuel CEO has refused an invitation to testify at a congressional hearing on climate change next week.</div><div>
</div><div><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">CBS News reports Sanders (I-Vt.) invited <b>BP America chairman and president David C. Lawler, </b>Chevron CEO and chairman Michael Wirth, and ExxonMobil chair and CEO Darren W. Woods to participate in next Thursday’s hearing, titled, “The Cost of Inaction on Climate Change.”</span></div><div>
</div><div>Sanders, who chairs the powerful Senate Budget Committee, told CBS News that Lawler declined the invitation, while the other two executives refused the network’s requests for comment.</div><div>
</div><div><b>Lawler’s refusal, said Sanders, “tells me these guys don’t want to answer tough questions.”</b></div><div>
</div><div>“These companies are producing a significant percentage of the carbon that we use, which is destroying our planet, and we want to know what they are doing to transform their companies away from fossil fuel,” he said.</div><div>
</div><div>Sanders noted the long history of fossil fuel corporations—some of which have known about the link between their products and climate change for decades—lying to the public about the dangers of oil, gas, and coal. He called their deception “one of the scandals of our lifetime.”</div><div>
</div><div>Sen. Bernie Sanders has challenged executives from major oil companies to come testify about how they're handling a transition from fossil fuels.</div><div>
</div><div>Will they show? (One has already said no.)https://t.co/cdqSR3V7DS</div><div>
</div><div>— Nicholas Kusnetz (@nkus) April 8, 2021</div><div>
</div><div>In the United States, the burning of fossil fuels for electricity, heating, and transportation is the largest source of the greenhouse gas emissions that drive global heating. According to the World Resources Institute, the U.S. produces about 13% of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions, second only to China, at 26%.</div><div>
</div><div>Such emissions have been a primary driver of catastrophic global heating. The past decade was the warmest ever recorded, with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration warning of even hotter years ahead.</div><div>
</div><div>A warming planet is linked to more and worse climate-driven extreme weather events. CBS News notes there were 22 separate U.S. natural disasters causing more than $1 billion in destruction last year, for a total of more than $95 billion in damages.</div><div>
</div><div><b>Meanwhile, according to a statement from the Senate Budget Committee, “ExxonMobil made $22.4 billion in profits as CEO Darren Woods received a $15.6 million compensation package; Chevron made $5.43 billion in profits as CEO Michael Wirth received a $33 million compensation package; and BP made $20.7 billion in profits.”</b></div><div>
</div><div>2020 is on track to be 1 of the 3 warmest years on record.</div><div>The past decade was the hottest in human history.</div><div>

</div><div>— António Guterres (@antonioguterres) December 3, 2020</div><div>
</div><div>“What the leading experts in the world are telling us is we have five or six years to move away from fossil fuel or else there would be irreparable damage in our country and on our planet,” said Sanders. “So we are up against an enormous crisis and we’ve got to move a lot more aggressively than we are today.”</div><div>
</div><div>Climate campaigners have long argued that a swift transition to a post-fossil fuel economy is imperative to avert a worst-case scenario in which global temperatures rise by more than 8ºF by 2100, melting vast swathes of polar ice sheets, raising sea levels by as much as three feet, and causing severe destruction and disruption of life on Earth.</div><div>
</div><div>Despite these risks, governments and most businesses have been slow to address the crisis. In the United States, fossil fuel companies receive tens of billions of dollars each year in bank financing, taxpayer subsidies, tax breaks, and other incentives.</div><div>
</div><div>President Joe Biden calls the climate crisis an “existential threat” and while campaigning last year proposed a $2 trillion green energy plan. His Made in America Tax Plan, unveiled last week, also proposes eliminating over $35 billion in tax credits and loopholes for the fossil fuel industry.</div><div>
</div><div>Activists and progressives who support a Green New Deal say these measures are not enough. Noting that “fossil fuel corporations receive $15 billion in direct subsidies from the federal government every year,” John Noël, a senior climate campaigner at Greenpeace, said Wednesday that “not a dime of our tax dollars should go towards corporations that poison our communities and wreck our climate.”</div><div>
</div><div>“Just treat the climate crisis like a crisis,”</div><div>
</div><div>“They have said themselves that this is an existential threat, and they’d better treat it accordingly, which they are not.” @GretaThunberg #ActOnClimate https://t.co/XIK1C42IFn</div><div>
</div><div>— Paul Dawson (@PaulEDawson) April 2, 2021</div><div>
</div><div>Sanders called Biden’s poposal a “thoughtful plan” but said he does not fully support it. When asked by CBS News climate reporter Cara Corte why he won’t vote to pass the plan and then press the president to act more urgently, the senator said that “it doesn’t really work like that.”</div><div>
</div><div>“The president makes that proposal and now Congress has got to take a hard look at it and see where we go with it,” he added.</div><div>
</div><div><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 51);">Climate campaigners condemned Lawler’s refusal to testify in the Senate, while calling on the other two Big Oil executives to appear at next week’s hearing.</span></div><div><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 51);">
</span></div><div><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 51);">“BP routinely claims to be committed to climate solutions, but its U.S. CEO is now refusing to publicly discuss these immensely important issues with members of Congress,” Center for Climate Integrity executive director Richard Wiles said in a statement. “What is BP afraid of?”</span></div><div>
</div><div>“If the leadership of Exxon and Chevron is truly committed to working with policymakers on climate action, we expect them to quickly accept Sen. Sanders’ invitation to testify,” Wiles continued. “If they refuse, it will just be the latest example of their dishonesty and duplicity when it comes to climate.”</div><div>
</div><div>“The truth is that executives from BP, Exxon, Chevron, and other Big Oil companies have spent decades lying to the American people about their commitment to solving climate change and the catastrophic climate damages they knew their products would cause,” he added. “Refusing to testify just shines more light on their unwillingness to come clean on climate.”</div><div>

</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">BY CAROLYN DAVIS</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">August 20, 2014</font></div><div>
</div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">In less than one month, two brothers from one family will be in charge of two of the biggest onshore natural gas producers in the United States. Doug Lawler as CEO already is running the second largest gas producer, Chesapeake Energy Corp., while younger brother David Lawler was tapped Wednesday to lead BP plc’s new Lower 48 business.</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><b><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 204, 102);">David Lawler, </span>46, COO of onshore operator SandRidge Energy Inc., is to begin working at<span style="background-color: rgb(255, 153, 0);"> BP on Sept. 15</span> as CEO of BP’s continental U.S. operations. BP in March formally established the onshore unit to better focus on its opportunities (see Daily GPI, March 4).</b></font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">“With an impressive track record at integrated oil and gas companies as well as independents, Dave is uniquely qualified to lead our onshore business during this exciting transition,” said BP Upstream Americas CEO Lamar McKay. “His experience and skills match up perfectly with our goals for the business. I’m confident he will create a competitive and sustainable operation that will be a key component of BP’s portfolio for many years.”</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><b><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">Lawler, a long-time Oklahoma City resident, began working at SandRidge</span> in 2011. For four years previously, he was president and CEO at PostRock Energy Corp., also based in Oklahoma. Lawler spent close to a decade also at Shell Exploration and Production Corp. He began his career as a production engineer at predecessor Conoco Inc. and worked at the former Burlington Resources Corp.</b></font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">“I’m looking forward to leveraging BP’s talent and resources while running the business as if it were an independent,” Lawler said. Like his brother Doug, David graduated from the Colorado School of Mines. Doug earned a masters degree at Rice University, while David earned his at Tulane University.</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">The combined talents of the Lawler brothers over two of the biggest domestic onshore natural gas producers could prove a potent mix in the U.S. exploration sector.</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><b>Chesapeake and BP produced respective totals of 2.9 Bcf/d and 1.5 Bcf/d in the United States during the first half of 2014, which combined is 1.0 Bcf/d higher than the 3.4 Bcf/d produced by market leader ExxonMobil Corp.</b>, according to Pat Rau, director of Strategy and Research for Natural Gas Intelligence.</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">“While BP has a sizable presence in the Gulf of Mexico, we believe the majority of the company’s U.S. natural gas production is onshore, meaning the Lawler family will oversee the largest block of onshore gas production in the country,”</span> Rau said.</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><b>Once separate, BP has said it would continue to own the exploration and production unit, but under a different name.</b> Lawler and his management team would develop and implement the strategy to expand the oil and gas portfolio. The new business also is to have separate governance, processes and systems to address the onshore operating environment. Separate financials for the business would be disclosed beginning in 2015.</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">In addition to its top position in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico (GOM), BP’s U.S. onshore portfolio stretches from the Gulf Coast onshore north through the Rocky Mountains. The portfolio includes an unconventional resource base of 7.6 billion boe across 5.5 million acres. BP also has an interest in close to 20,000 wells in the domestic onshore.</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><b>Rising Anadarko Petroleum Corp. executive Robert “Doug” Lawler </b>was<span style="background-color: rgb(255, 204, 102);"> hired to take over Chesapeake in May 2013, following in the footsteps of co-founder Aubrey McClendon</span> (see Daily GPI, May 21, 2013). Lawler, only the second CEO to lead the company, since has placed his own stamp and strategy on the venerable independent.</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Chesapeake and BP have been onshore partners for years, beginning with some outright sales and joint ventures as the unconventional revolution got underway in 2008. That summer, BP America Inc. paid $1.75 billion to acquire all of Chesapeake’s interests in 90,000 net acres in the Arkoma Basin of the Woodford Shale (see Daily GPI, July 18, 2008). In another venture, Chesapeake and BP America formed a joint venture giving BP a 25% interest in Chesapeake’s Fayetteville Shale assets in Arkansas for $1.9 billion (see Daily GPI, Sept. 8, 2008).</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">The loss of Lawler continues a shakeup in the executive suite for SandRidge, which has refocused is strategy on the U.S. onshore following a brief foray into the GOM (see Shale Daily, Jan. 7). Founder Tom Ward was ousted in 2013 following a shareholder squabble (see Shale Daily, March 22, 2013). The board continues to face litigation related to transactions set up during Ward’s tenure (see Shale Daily, July 8, 2013).</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">With Lawler’s departure, SandRidge has promoted Craig A. Johnson to executive vice president of operations and initiated a search for a new COO. Johnson, 47, currently is senior vice president of development for Oklahoma. CEO James Bennett noted that Lawler had done a “remarkable job” in leading the operations team.</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
