Bill overview
The Marginal Well Protection Act aims to exempt small oil and natural gas wells from certain environmental regulations. Specifically, it prevents the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) from charging fees or requiring reporting for methane emissions from wells that produce less than 15 barrels of oil per day and 90,000 cubic feet of natural gas per day. This legislation is intended to reduce the regulatory burden on smaller producers. The goal is to streamline compliance for these operations while maintaining environmental protections.
