WHICH IS BETTER Industry tends to prefer the motivational it allows for innovation and variation. Agencies seem to prefer directive it allows for greater control and ease of administration. EPA s Quad O NSPS an example of doing both. Directive - emission controls, leak detection, etc. Motivational Green Completions required in the future. 5
IN THE WAY Regulatory programs developed in a silo fail to consider other media and other opportunities. Overly rigid regulations that fail to adapt to new technologies or innovations all liners must be the same. Complicated regulations and/or time consuming application processes that discourage innovation. If it does not move for ten minutes it must be a waste! O&G Opportunities storage for recycling flowback; drill cuttings as aggregate; habitat enhancing pad restoration; AMD usage. 6
