Regulatory Guidance

One change in emissions limits, reporting deadlines, or permitting requirements can put your operation at risk.  

Keeping up with these shifting requirements takes time, expertise and proactive planning. That’s where regulatory guidance comes in - helping you understand what’s changing, how it affects your operations, and what steps to take before compliance becomes a problem.

What Regulatory Guidance Covers

A strong compliance strategy starts with knowing which regulations apply to your facilities and how to meet them. Our regulatory guidance includes:

  • Monitoring new and evolving regulations - identifying upcoming changes that could impact your operations.

  • Clarifying state and federal compliance requirements - ensuring compliance with Clean Air Act (CAA), New Source Performance Standards (NSPS), National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP), and other applicable rules.

  • Advising on permitting and reporting obligations - helping you avoid missteps in Title V operating permits, New Source Review (NSR), Greenhouse Gas (GHG) reporting under Subpart W, and state-specific air programs.

  • Providing agency representation - advocating on behalf of clients in regulatory discussions and compliance negotiations and writing comments on proposed regulations on your behalf.

  • Developing risk mitigation strategies - Helping you stay compliant while minimizing operational and financial burdens.

Common Regulatory Challenges in Oil & Gas

Some of the biggest regulatory challenges for oil and gas operators include:

  • Changing reporting requirements - New rules like NSPS OOOOa & OOOOb tighten leak detection, emissions tracking and repair deadlines.

  • State vs. federal compliance conflicts - Some states impose stricter air regulations than federal programs, requiring additional monitoring and reporting.

  • Permit delays & approvals - Expanding or modifying facilities means navigating complex New Source Review (NSR) and Title V requirements.

These challenges take time and expertise to manage, but the right guidance can keep your operations on track.
