对于生活在一个总司令正在竭尽全力应对气候变化的国家的二叠纪盆地石油商来说，一连串的不满和担忧持续了很久。

“拜登的攻击是通过这些机构的字母汤：EPA、FERC、DOI、SEC、CEQ（环境质量委员会）”，美国独立石油协会主席兼 Elevation Resources 首席执行官 Steve Pruett ” 在 Hart Energy 的 SUPER DUG 会议暨博览会上说道。 “嗯，我把联邦贸易委员会（FTC）排除在外了，现在它正在用毫无根据的指控来追捕我们的斯科特·谢菲尔德。”更不用说联邦贸易委员会正在对一大堆交易进行破坏。”

对生活在二叠纪盆地的沙丘山艾蜥蜴的保护、《国家环境政策法》的修改、液化天然气出口暂停、联邦租赁放缓、特许权使用费上涨和较长的许可时间都列入了普鲁特的清单。他强调了几项引发焦虑和诉讼的法规，如果企业尚未做好准备，就应该做好准备。甲烷排放量位居前列。

The litany of grievances—and concerns—runs long for a Permian Basin oilman living in a nation where the commander in chief is pulling out all the stops to fight climate change.

“Biden’s attack is through this alphabet soup of agencies: the EPA, FERC, DOI, SEC, the CEQ (Commission on Environmental Quality),” Steve Pruett, chairman of the Independent Petroleum Association of America and CEO of Elevation Resources, said during Hart Energy’s SUPER DUG Conference & Expo. “Oh, and I left out the FTC [Federal Trade Commission] now that’s coming after our own Scott Sheffield with baseless accusations. Not to mention the FTC is putting a monkey wrench in a whole bunch of transactions.”

Protections for the dunes sagebrush lizard living in the Permian, changes to the National Environmental Policy Act, the LNG export pause, federal leasing slowdown, rising royalty rates and long permitting times made Pruett’s list. He highlighted several regulations, which have sparked angst and lawsuits, that companies should prepare for if they haven’t done so already. Methane emissions are at the forefront.
