RegScan, IPAA Launch Oil and Gas Development Suites For Gulf of Mexico States
WILLIAMSPORT, Pa., May 30, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- RegScan and the Independent Petroleum Association of America proudly announce that their award-winning IPAA Environmental Compliance System now includes coverage in the Gulf of Mexico region.
Suites for onshore oil and gas development are now available for the states of Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma and Texas. The latest regional expansion ensures coverage in every major domestic shale play.
"The EPA will soon be enacting national air emissions standards. With all these new rules pending, it is crucial that oil and gas producers have a trusted resource for tracking regulatory change," said Ned Ertel, President and C.E.O. of RegScan. "We are pleased to offer jurisdictional coverage in every major U.S. shale play, especially since there is so much interest in unconventional resource development."
Users of the IPAA Environmental Compliance System have instant online access to state and federal regulations and statutes, essentially in real time. The comprehensive guide is fully integrated with permit applications, guidance documents, AND custom audit checklists — all of which can be accessed through the Socrates project management platform. Updates are seamless and automatic, so the most current information is always available.
RegScan and IPAA worked with industry-leading consultants — including a former director of the Pennsylvania Bureau of Oil and Gas Management — to develop this cutting-edge product. With decades of regulatory and practical experience behind them, they were able to create customized content specifically for oil and natural gas producers.
The IPAA Environmental Compliance System was recently honored with an Environmental Business Journal Business Achievement Award for Project Merit. This one-of-a-kind compliance timeline chronologically outlines regulatory requirements throughout a well's entire life cycle. Topics covered include:
- Pre-Drilling
- Drilling and Completion
- Well Production and Operation
- Well Plugging and Abandonment
