New source performance standards for new and existing oil and natural gas facilities

Subpart OOOOb and control technology guidelines

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 31 | 3:00–4:00 pm EST

On December 2, 2023, USEPA published final rules under the new source performance standards (NSPS) for oil and natural gas sources as part of the Biden-Harris Administration's Methane Emissions Reduction Action Plan.  

The final rules implement stricter requirements for currently regulated sources such as storage vessels, pneumatic controllers, fugitive emissions, and compressors – as well as new requirements for previously unregulated sources such as compressors at tank batteries, liquids unloading, and pneumatic pumps not at gas processing plants.

In this webinar, Ramboll environmental compliance experts Eric Hodek and Thomas Samarco will discuss these new and modified requirements and the implications for operators of all sizes.
