  3. BALANCE: Economic Growth Environmental Protection Energy Supply Revenue from Federal Lands Goals and Objectives Government Role

  4. Goals and Objectives DOE Role • Sound Science • Lower-Cost Compliance Technologies • Federal-State-Industry Dialogue • Regulatory Impact Analysis

  5. MISSION Maximize Recovery of Oil and Gas by Reducing the Cost of Effective Environmental Protection

  6. GOALS • Enable Industry to Reduce Compliance Costs and Improve Environmental Performance • Promote Cost-Effective, Risk-Based Regulatory Decisions • Improve Communication and Tech Transfer Among Governments, Industry, and the Public

  7. APPROACH • Regulatory Impact Analysis • Regulatory Streamlining • Risk Assessment/Data Management • Technology Development

  8. What’s New • Federal Lands Technology Partnership • Remediation • Air Quality • Data Management • Streamlining

  9. Schedule and MilestonesReduced Costs

  10. Schedule and MilestonesBAGI

  11. Schedule and MilestonesData Management

  12. Major Successes in 1998 • TRI - Convinced EPA to Delay Inclusion of Oil and Gas • Alaska Study on Lease Stipulations • AOR - Texas Expanding Appication of AOR’s - $50 Million • Environmental Manuals - KY and Rocky Mountains • Model State Regulations for NORM • RBDMS - Generic Version Distributed • BAGI - Demonstrated Van-Mounted Unit for Distribution Systems: Began Discussions with EPA

  13. Planned Accomplishments 1999 & 2000 • Downhole Oil-Water Separation - Field Test 2 Technologies, Developing New Technology - $500 million • Synthetic Muds - Presumptive Rulemaking Proposed by EPA • TRI Pilot - Colorado - $100 Million • Plasma-Assisted Catalysis: Reduced Diesel Emissions at Reduced Cost • BAGI - Refinery Test: Revolutionize LDAR Requirements - $300 Million • Air Tracers - Regional Haze • Federal Lands Technology Partnership - Improving Access by Demonstrating Environmental Performance
