Five states are challenging the Bureau of Land Management rule, saying it would hamper development of fossil fuel resources.

Final rule will prevent an estimated 58 million tons of methane emissions between 2024 and 2038, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency says at COP28 event.

 EPA proposal is set to regulate existing oil and natural gas sector sources as well as new and modified ones; also, new DOT final rules now cover 400K miles of unregulated gas 'gathering' lines, and Interior Dept. is set to extend scrutiny of flaring.
