*Please note that this report only includes an Excel data file if this is indicated in "What's included" below
Report summary
President Biden promised to take unprecedented executive actions to drive historic progress on a clean energy revolution. From day one, he signed a series of Executive Orders to tackle the issues he promised to address, including re-joining the Paris Climate Agreement, revoking the permit for Keystone XL pipeline, as well as reviewing onshore and offshore oil and gas permitting processes. Although the Executive Orders issued so far have had little impact, we examine the potential implications of the recent rules and regulations announced by the Biden Administration on the North American upstream industry.
