Report summary
“Will Biden ban fracking?” was on everyone’s mind until it became clear that President Biden will not. However, other Biden administration decisions can still have a wide impact on how Lower 48 E&Ps operate. The administration’s Unified regulatory agenda, released in June 2021, gives us a view into the key pillars that will shape the administration’s approach to oil and gas regulation. There hasn’t been sweeping environmental legislation since the 1970’s and the Biden administration will likely use existing legislative authority to strengthen oversight and emphasize environmental conservation.
