house 02/11/2025 - 119th Congress
We are working on the Orphan Well Grant Flexibility Act of 2025, which seeks to amend the Energy Policy Act of 2005 to give states more flexibility around measuring methane emissions from orphaned wells. Our goal is to facilitate more effective plugging and remediation efforts by states while studying the socioeconomic impacts these efforts have on local communities.

A step too far with unnecessary studies and red tape slowing down energy production.
