(August 2, 2010)- Western Energy Alliance will testify before the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) today on how the natural gas and oil industry has decreased emissions per unit of production over the last decade.  Western Energy Alliance has advanced scientific understanding of air quality by working with the Western Regional Air Partnership to provide a comprehensive, accurate inventory of emissions in the major producing natural gas and oil basins across the West. Producers have voluntarily provided detailed source data in order to identify opportunities for emissions reductions and to provide state and federal regulators with accurate data necessary for effective regulation.  Kathleen Sgamma, Western Energy Alliance’s Director of Government Affairs, will testify on behalf of the organization’s 400 member companies.

IPAMS recently participated in a Western Business Roundtable discussion on federal government policies and how they are affecting the ability of independent producers to develop natural gas and oil on federal lands in the West, where well over 50% of the land is federally owned. Independent producers supply 27% of America’s natural gas while disturbing only 0.07% of public lands.
