Two Washington, DC-based groups representing oil and gas producers have protested the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) final new source performance standards, which are aimed at restricting volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and sulfur dioxide emissions from onshore natural gas operations, including hydraulically fractured (fracked) wells.

A group of municipal natural gas utilities has protested Lake Charles Exports LLC’s (LCE) request to broaden the scope of ts recently granted authority to export liquefied natural gas (LNG) to include countries with which the United States does not have a free trade agreement (FTA).

Major customers of Dominion Cove Point LNG LP (DCP) last week protested the company’s proposed tariff changes requiring them to deliver liquefied natural gas (LNG) by tanker to its import terminal to keep the cryogenic portion of the facility cooled. They contend that DCP’s proposal would back out cheaper gas from the United States and potentially disrupt the domestic gas market. Industrial gas customers suggested that the long-term solution may be to once again deactivate the Cove Point LNG terminal in Lusby, MD.

Chevron Corp. on Thursday completed its $4.3 billion acquisition of Pittsburgh-based Atlas Energy Inc., just one day after the Atlas shareholders had approved the deal, the companies said.
