6月22日(路透社)——美国特朗普政府周一提议放宽联邦土地上的石油和天然气钻探作业规则,其中包括大幅削减废弃油井的清理成本。

此举契合唐纳德·特朗普总统为企业松绑监管、加大国内化石燃料生产投资力度的目标。

“这些针对性的修订打破了历来阻碍投资的繁文缛节,确保我们的公共土地继续成为经济增长与创新的可靠引擎,”内政部长道格·伯古姆在一份声明中说道。

美国内政部表示,将把全州范围内的油井担保金从拜登政府时期设定的50万美元下调至每个州2.5万美元。

担保金用于在石油天然气公司破产时,支付封堵废弃油井的费用。非营利组织未来资源2021年的一项分析估计,单座油井的封堵成本约为2万美元。

内政部的其他提案还包括将石油和天然气开采许可的公众参与时长从90天缩短至10天。

该机构还提议放宽旨在限制石油和天然气作业甲烷排放的相关要求。内政部称,这些调整每年可减少近1700万美元的合规成本。

June 22 (Reuters) – The Trump administration on Monday proposed looser rules for oil and gas drilling operations on federal ​lands, including a dramatic cut to clean-up costs ‌for abandoned wells.

The moves are aligned with President Donald Trump’s goal to reduce regulations for businesses and make it easier to ​invest in production of domestic fossil fuels.

“These targeted updates ​cut through the red tape that has historically ⁠deterred investment, ensuring our public lands remain a ​reliable engine for economic growth and innovation,” Interior Secretary ​Doug Burgum said in a statement.

The Department of the Interior said it would lower the cost of statewide bonds for wells ​to $25,000 per state from $500,000, a level implemented during the Biden ​era.

Bonds cover the costs of plugging abandoned oil and gas wells ‌if ⁠an oil and gas company goes out of business. An analysis by non-profit Resources for the Future in 2021 estimated it costs about $20,000 to plug a ​single oil and ​gas well.

Interior’s ⁠other proposals include shortening public participation in oil and gas permitting to 10 days ​from 90 days.

The agency is also proposing ​to ⁠roll back requirements aimed at curtailing methane emissions from oil and gas operations. The changes would cut compliance costs ⁠by ​nearly $17 million a year, Interior said.

Methane ​is a potent greenhouse gas that tends to leak from drill sites ​and pipelines.
