A natural gas drilling site in the Eagle Ford Shale. (Jake Lacey/Houston Chronicle file photo)SAN ANTONIO — The Eagle Ford Shale is a behemoth oil and gas field in both size and profits.
But it’s not the only shale in South Texas.
Oil and gas companies are hunting hydrocarbons in several other geologic formations including the Pearsall Shale, which so far has 22 producing wells and is driving some mineral leasing in the region.
“It’s early days. The Pearsall is emerging,” said Peggy Williams, editorial director with Hart Energy. “People are working on it and it could develop into something, but it’s not as fully commercial as the Eagle Ford is at this point.”
The Eagle Ford is a 50-mile-wide swath of shale that runs from the Mexican border to East Texas, with more than 5,400 wells permitted so far. It appears to be the mother lode — the largest and most consistent South Texas formation holding the most oil and gas.
But the Pearsall Shale is the rock formation that many say is most like the Eagle Ford. It’s deeper and older than the Eagle Ford, but was also deposited in the Cretaceous Period when much of Texas was covered by a shallow sea.
Eaglebine: ‘The next thing’ for drilling companies
It was long assumed that the Pearsall contained only natural gas until Oklahoma-based Cheyenne Petroleum Co. drilled a Pearsall well in 2011 that produced crude oil. So, like the Eagle Ford, the Pearsall also has “windows” where more oil or more gas can be produced.
The research firm Drillinginfo.com, which tracks wells around the world, has identified 22 wells with Pearsall production — mostly natural gas producers in Dimmit and Maverick counties that were drilled in 2010 and 2011.
But along the county lines in northeastern La Salle and southeastern Frio counties, Pearsall wells have produced more oil.
With much of South Texas tied up in Eagle Ford mineral leases, David Roth, an attorney who heads the energy team at Cox Smith in San Antonio, said the Pearsall is one geologic formation where leases are still being hammered out.
“I would say new leasing south of San Antonio is all Pearsall,” Roth said. “There’s just not a lot of acreage trading hands. There’s not enough open acreage.”
But leases that target the Pearsall can get complicated.
Some mineral leases have depth-severance provisions. After a period of time, a company loses the right to drill anything deeper than has already been produced. That has opened up some ability for dual leases on one piece of land — one company targeting the Eagle Ford, another targeting the deeper Pearsall.
But many leases don’t have a depth-severance clause, and so ongoing drilling in the Eagle Ford “holds” the Pearsall indefinitely for the company operating there.
“A lot of people leased all depths, and there’s a lot of Pearsall that’s sitting there because of this very normal business practice: If I’m an oil company (and) I’m making money in the Eagle Ford, I’m going to keep spending money in the Eagle Ford,” Roth said.
That said, some Pearsall wells have been making around 600 barrels a day, a result that Roth noted companies will take “all day long.”
“It seems that some significant production will come from Pearsall,” he said.
The Houston-based Cabot Oil & Gas Corp. has 43 producing Eagle Ford wells, but plans to drill 15 Pearsall wells this year.
Cline Shale: West Texas shale could dwarf Eagle Ford
In an earnings call last week with analysts, Cabot executives said that the 30-day average production rate for its six Pearsall wells was around 600 barrels of oil equivalent daily, which includes a mix of crude oil and natural gas liquids such as propane and butane. About half of those barrels were crude oil.
Dan Dinges, chairman, CEO and president of Cabot, said during the call, “The Pearsall, it’s still a young play and remains a science project for us.”
Dinges stopped short of giving a range for how much oil it might ultimately recover from its 71,000 Pearsall Shale acres, located in the “Four Corners” area where Frio, Atascosa, La Salle and McMullen counties meet.
Several other companies are also looking at the Pearsall. Magnum Hunter and Marathon Oil Corp. are drilling a Pearsall well in Atascosa County. Goodrich Petroleum Corp. has said it’s monitoring Pearsall wells and has tentative plans to drill a well there later this year. Sanchez Energy Corp. has said it is mapping the Pearsall and thinks a large portion of its Eagle Ford acreage could have Pearsall potential.
But the costs of a Pearsall well — around $10 million by Cabot’s estimates (which include the cost of science) — and the fact that companies have to pass through the Eagle Ford to get there, mean that companies drilling the Pearsall must really want to. Companies must drill about 10,000 feet down and then make a horizontal turn into the formation.
“They’re not a casual investment,” Williams of Hart Energy said. “In this particular area, early results are encouraging.”

Railroad Commission approves well integrity rules
Sanchez Energy's Prost A1H well in Fayette County, in the Eagle Ford Shale. (Sanchez Energy)The Texas Railroad Commission adopted long-awaited changes to its rules for the construction of oil and gas wells Friday, saying its actions showed the value of allowing the state to regulate the industry.
The changes clarify standards for drilling, casing and cementing of wells and require that the commission be notified of any failed pressure test. The new rules take effect Jan. 1.
The unanimous vote came as legislators consider whether the agency, which regulates oil and gas drilling and production in Texas, should be disbanded after efforts to institute recommendations made by the Sunset Advisory Commission failed to win approval in the House of Representatives.
The proposals approved Friday, amendments to a section of the state’s regulations known as Rule 13, had been under discussion for months.
Commission Chairman Barry Smitherman suggested the effort “illustrates the importance of allowing state regulators, not the federal government, to regulate our booming oil and gas industry.”
The new rules were praised by the Texas Oil & Gas Association, which represents the industry.
“As technology used in oil and natural gas production evolves and improves, the Texas Railroad Commission is wise to examine rules related to well integrity,” Deb Hastings, executive vice president of the association said in a statement. “Through the Railroad Commission’s leadership, Texas is once again setting the national standard in crafting energy policy for the 21st century.”
Unlikely alliance: Political foes plea for more time on federal fracturing rule
Environmentalists have been watching, too.
“I think generally, we’re pleased,” Cyrus Reed, conservation director for the Lone Star chapter of the Sierra Club, said after the approval.
He said he was disappointed that some technical specifications had been changed from the commission’s original proposal but noted that the requirements hadn’t been updated in decades.
“It’s a really important thing,” he said. “They make some important changes.”
The changes to Rule 13 were anxiously awaited by the industry.
They include:
For wells undergoing hydraulic fracturing, operators will be required to pressure test well casings to the maximum pressure expected and to notify the commission of a failed test.Operations must be suspended if monitoring indicates a potential down-hole casing leak.
Cementing will be required across and above all zones permitted for injection. Requirements for well control and blowout preventers were updated.The proposals had been under discussion even as the agency and its three commissioners were swept up in the political ramifications of its review by legislators under the Sunset process.
The Sunset Advisory Commission regularly reviews state agencies to determine if they are still needed and, if so, what changes might be called for. Recommended changes for the Railroad Commission ranged from the seemingly benign — changing its name to the Texas Energy Resources Commission to better reflect its mission — to a controversial proposal limiting when, and from whom, the three elected commissioners could collect campaign contributions. It also would have required them to resign from the commission before running for another office.
Legislation to update the Railroad Commission failed to pass in both the 2011 session and again this year.
Agencies not approved through the Sunset process could be allowed to die but are generally reauthorized.
As of Friday evening, the commission wasn’t included in a safety-net bill intended to extend it for at least another two years, and Rep. Dennis Bonnen, R-Angleton, sponsor of the House bill that would have overhauled the agency, said he wasn’t inclined to make a motion to add it in a conference committee.
“The agency shouldn’t get to go through Sunset another time,” he said. “If you can’t do it in two times, and the reason is significant lobbying by the agency opposed to doing anything differently, maybe the goal was to have the agency go away.”
A conference committee is also meeting on an ethics bill that includes a “resign to run” provision for railroad commissioners, to prevent them from using their position to build a campaign account for another office. Some observers think passage of that provision might lead lawmakers to revive the agency by including it in the sunset schedule.

Curtis Burton takes Buccaneer Energy into Alaska’s Cook Inlet
Told last fall he urgently needed open-heart surgery, Curtis Burton headed instead to meet with investors in Alaska.
He returned and checked into St. Luke’s Hospital for a quintuple bypass in late November.
Two days after leaving the hospital, he was back in the office.
A week and a half after that, he and his wife, Emalee, hosted their annual Christmas party.
Burton, a friend notes, “is very success-oriented.”
That drive took Burton from a childhood in rural Mississippi, through the ranks of some of the world’s largest energy companies and a succession of start-ups and turnarounds. His work as a founder of DeepStar, a research collaborative into deep-water drilling, earned him a place in the Offshore Energy Hall of Fame.
His latest venture, Buccaneer Energy, works in Alaska’s Cook Inlet, long abandoned by bigger companies for the North Slope.
Now 57, Burton is the consummate energy entrepreneur, always chasing a challenge.
And Buccaneer, founded in 2006, has provided plenty.
Burton ticks them off: It started with no capital. No properties. And within two years, the recession had hit and natural gas prices were headed down.
Buccaneer hunts properties that bigger companies no longer want but which still have unexploited reserves. Early on, it worked in the Gulf of Mexico and onshore coastal areas.
By 2009, stung by the recession and plummeting natural gas prices, Buccaneer needed a new strategy.
But when a consultant suggested Alaska, Burton balked.
“It’s too cold. It’s too remote,” he thought. “Too many polar bears. Too many regulatory bars.”
Alaska troubles: Coast Guard to take testimony on Shell’s Arctic grounding
Federal regulations apply to Alaska’s vast federal land and waters. But Burton found properties under control of the state of Alaska, and research convinced him that its regulations were more akin to those in Texas – friendly to industry.

Federal regulations apply to Alaska’s vast federal land and waters. But Burton found properties under control of the state of Alaska, and research convinced him that its regulations were more akin to those in Texas – friendly to industry.
Add state incentives to spur natural gas drilling in southern Alaska, and it seemed a gamble worth taking.
The past three years haven’t been easy, but Burton insists he is happy with the results.
Buccaneer reported its highest-ever gross production revenue – $5.1 million – for the three-month period that ended in February.
Burton said it was the first company in years to drill for natural gas in Cook Inlet; Apache Corp. and Hilcorp Energy also are there now. Buccaneer also announced a deal with ConocoPhillips earlier this month, giving it access to that company’s deep oil prospects in the inlet.
The man who wanted a challenge has found a seemingly endless string of them.
“Commodity prices are up, and then they’re down,” Burton said, with just a hint of satisfaction at having another problem to deal with. “In our case, we’ve been under-capitalized from the day we started. You’re always dealing with the problems of the day.”
Always working
Burton came to Texas as a teenager — an older sister lived in Dallas and he worked construction there – then worked his way through the University of Texas at Austin, earning an engineering degree.
After a post-college stint at Otis Engineering, he went to work for Sedco, later Sedco-Hamilton, and then traveled the world with other companies and as a consultant.
By 1991, he had signed on with Texaco, where he and another engineer, Steve Wheeler, were charged with preparing the company to move into deeper water.
At the time, Texaco was working in 600 feet of water in the Gulf of Mexico but had leases in 3,000 feet.
“I told them, I need $300 million,” Burton said.
Uncertainty: Offshore operators seek clarity on regulations
Texaco offered a fraction of that. He and Wheeler devised a study and sold shares to companies willing to bear part of the cost.
Chevron took over the research collaborative known as DeepStar when it acquired Texaco in 2001.
DeepStar has changed as the industry evolved.
“Before, everything was highly proprietary, and stayed that way,” said Jim Chitwood, a technology manager at DeepStar, who has been there from the beginning.
Then most research was done in-house, and people were less willing to share information.
But with so many mergers and other belt-tightening, companies began doing less basic research.
Greg Kusinski, executive director of DeepStar, said it has avoided rivalries among members by emphasizing common needs.
With a budget of almost $8 million contributed by member companies, Kusinski said research now focuses on drilling in more than 10,000 feet of water.
Representatives from member companies discussed the project at the Offshore Technology Conference earlier this month.
They focused on the future – reducing deep-water drilling costs to compete with the shale production boom, for example – but said the industry wouldn’t be where it is without DeepStar’s work on fundamental issues including flow assurance and thermodynamics.
‘Contrarian nature’
Burton walked away from DeepStar in 1996, confident that it was well on its way.
“It’s that contrarian nature,” he said of his decision to leave rather than settling in for a lifetime sinecure. “I like challenges,” he said.
He founded Total Offshore Production Service, the first of a series of start-up and turnaround projects he has launched. Buccaneer is the latest.
Burton is a car collector and an aviation buff, and he looks to the earliest days of flight to explain his business philosophy.
“One of my favorite stories is the Wright brothers,” he said. “They just kept inventing the stuff they needed.”
That sounds familiar to people who know Burton.
“He’s like a lot of engineers,” said Frank Culberson, CEO of Rimkus Consulting Group, an early investor in Buccaneer who now sits on the board. “He likes to be successful. He comes up with good ideas, and he’s willing to take a chance.”
Federal audits: Offshore operators should focus on building safety barriers
Risk-taking played out in personal terms last fall, when Burton returned from a business trip. As managing director and CEO of Buccaneer, he has spent much of his time raising money for the company, which is listed on the Australian stock exchange.
A fitness buff, he jumped on his bicycle for a 10-mile ride. He finished but something didn’t feel right.
Same thing the next day. But he felt fine after riding the third day, and Burton figured he was simply out of shape from traveling.
Still, he mentioned the vague symptoms to a friend at church the following weekend and heard about his friend’s experiences with heart disease.
Chastened, Burton called his doctor. Within a few days, he had the diagnosis: severe blockage in several coronary arteries.
But he also had a meeting scheduled in Alaska.
The surgeon told him waiting could be fine. Or not.
He hopped on a plane.
Chitwood, who first met Burton in the 1980s and later went to work at DeepStar, said he isn’t surprised Burton chose the meeting.
“He’s goal-driven,” he said. “Success-oriented.”
And Chitwood said that’s not a bad thing. “He’s got a strong moral compass.”
A strong sense of fun, too, so Chitwood also wasn’t surprised the Christmas party went on as usual.
Burton shrugs.
“I didn’t do all the lifting I normally do,” he said.
But he dismisses any suggestion that the surgery might have caused him to slow down or become more reflective.
“I’ve always been reflective,” he said. “I told everybody, if this was the end, I’ve had a fun time. … It can continue, but it can’t get any better.”

Climate change, trade policy enter debate over Keystone XL
Crewmen work a site for TransCanada's Keystone XL project in Wood County, Texas. (Cody Duty / Houston Chronicle)Wednesday’s congressional debate on the Keystone XL pipeline will be a forum for a host of other contentious topics, including climate change, oil spills and protectionist policy.
The debates will come as the House of Representatives takes up legislation to speed approval of the proposed Keystone XL pipeline that would carry diluted bitumen from Canadian oil sands developments to Gulf Coast refineries.
Although the bill sponsored by Rep. Lee Terry, R-Neb., probably will pass the House, it faces a presidential veto threat, and is unlikely to advance in the Senate anyway. Nevertheless, the legislation represents a new opportunity for Keystone XL’s congressional supporters to pressure the White House into approving TransCanada Corp.’s pipeline, eight years after the company first proposed it.
And to congressional Democrats — including some who support the pipeline — Wednesday’s debate is a chance to get lawmakers on record on politically sensitive issues surrounding the project.
For instance, Rep. Henry Waxman, D-Calif., wants the House to vote on an amendment that would add a provision stating that using oil sands crude would boost heat-trapping greenhouse gas emissions as much as 4.3 million passenger vehicles. Waxman’s proposal also would make the streamlined approval of Keystone XL under the bill contingent on oil sands producers or TransCanda fully offsetting greenhouse gas emissions associated with the project.

Other lawmakers are using amendments to highlight the risk of leaks along the pipeline’s path, after recent spills of diluted bitumen have proved more difficult to clean up than anticipated. TransCanada has acknowledged that oil sands-derived crudes can be driven to the bottom of turbulent water, sticking to rocks and making clean up more challenging.
But the company says the products that Keystone XL would carry are no more corrosive than other crudes. It repeatedly has pledged to follow 57 extra conditions for design, maintenance and testing, in addition to all other federal safety regulations.l
Rep. Hank Johnson, D-Ga., has proposed an amendment that would require a study on the health effects of air pollution in communities surrounding refineries that process crude transported by the Keystone XL pipeline.
The House also is set to vote on an amendment that would require a government analysis of the projected costs, environmental damage and health effects of a spill from the pipeline.
Another proposal seeks to revive debate over who stands to benefit from Keystone XL’s construction and whether the oil sands crude transported across the United States would actually remain in the country. The House is set to vote on an amendment by Rep. Rush Holt, D-N.J., that would require oil and refined fuels associated with the Keystone XL pipeline to be used within U.S. borders unless that prohibition is waived by the president.
The underlying bill would authorize the Keystone XL pipeline by deeming existing environmental reviews of the project sufficient and effectively authorizing other necessary permits. It also would expedite judicial review of the pipeline and require legal challenges to be filed within 60 days.
Rep. Sheila Jackson-Lee, D-Houston, has proposed an amendment that would expand the time for filing legal claims to one year. On Wednesday, she argued that the bill’s requirement for challengers to file their legal claims against Keystone XL in a Washington, D.C.-based federal court — imposing too high a burden for critics in far-flung states.
In early debate Wednesday afternoon, congressional Democrats derided the bill as a political messaging bill that would do an end-run around the formal process for evaluating border-crossing energy infrastructure first established by former President George W. Bush in 2004.
“For the eighth time in two-and-a-half years, we’re voting on another Keystone XL measure that will never become law,” said Jared Polis, D-Colo.
Rep. Raul Grijalva, D-Ariz., called the legislation “a reckless attempt to sideline environmental review.”
Republicans insisted that the measure is necessary to prod action on the pipeline, after years of environmental reviews and government study. Terry called it “paralysis by analysis.”
The administration rejected a permit for the border-crossing pipeline last year, after the State Department concluded it needed to do more environmental analysis of a new route through Nebraska. After conducting a fresh environmental study, the State Department on March 1 concluded that the project is unlikely to dramatically boost demand for Canada’s oil sands, rebutting a major concern voiced by environmentalists opposed to the pipeline.
Under a 9-year-old executive order, the State Department is tasked with determining whether the project is in the “national interest.” If any one of eight separate federal agencies disagrees with State’s decision, that would launch a process that would put the final verdict in President Barack Obama’s hands.
Now, a final decision could be many months — if not a year — away. Last month, TransCanada predicted that the project will not be completed until the second half of 2015.
In the meantime, TransCanada Corp., is already building the southern leg of the pipeline.
The backdrop for the debate over Keystone XL is a bigger fight over the Canadian oil sands development. Environmentalists contend that the proposed pipeline would spur more oil development in Alberta using more energy-intensive techniques than extraction of conventional crudes. The result, these critics say, is more greenhouse gas emissions over the entire life of the oil sands crude — from its initial extraction to its combustion.
Pipeline backers insist that blocking Keystone XL will do little to inhibit oil sands development. Trains and other pipelines will carry the product to the Gulf Coast even without Keystone XL, these supporters say, even as other projects could deliver bitumen to Canada’s west coast for export to Asian markets.
Pipeline backers also say Keystone XL would ensure a source of heavy crude from a North American ally, displacing supplies from Venezuela and declining imports from Mexico.

David Holt, president of the Consumer Energy AllianceBy David Holt
Over the past few years it’s become clear that math, science and technology education is critical to our nation’s economic success. This is especially the case in the energy sector where technological advancements – namely the combination of horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing, advancements in renewable energy have transformed the outlook for the U.S. economy and in turn the economic prospects for millions of Americans.
The numbers are staggering. In 2011, the U.S. oil and natural gas industry added over 150,000 jobs bringing the total number to approximately 9.2 million. Meanwhile, the Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates that over 3.2 million Americans are employed in the nation’s burgeoning green jobs sector. Taken together, the nation’s energy resurgence is supporting well over 12 million jobs. To help put that in perspective, the energy industry is supporting an amount of jobs that exceeds the population of every U.S. state except California, Texas, New York, Florida, Illinois and Pennsylvania.
While there is much reason to celebrate, there is also cause for concern as the industry is facing an immediate and serious dearth of skilled workers. Due to this, the Society of Manufacturing Engineers (SME) predicts that the number of unfilled jobs in the energy and manufacturing sector could grow to 3 million by 2015. This concern was echoed by the National Research Council (NRC) which notes, “the current pipeline of STEM-capable students and workers is inadequate to meet workforce needs.”
So then, with nearly 12 million Americans currently on our nation’s unemployment roster how can we ensure that hard-working Americans are prepared to take full advantage of this growth? As the NRC notes, “industry-education partnerships, particularly at community colleges or in the first two years of higher education, have emerged as critical to the nation’s energy and mining future.” Luckily, there are programs currently in place that only need to be emulated to ensure that Americans of all backgrounds can benefit from this economic activity.
In Pennsylvania, companies developing the Marcellus Shale have partnered with community colleges, junior colleges, technical schools and universities to ensure Pennsylvanians are benefiting from the state’s resource abundance. Universities across the Commonwealth, ranging from the Pennsylvania College of Technology to Penn State University, have expanded their offerings to prepare citizens for work in the growing natural gas industry.
In California, Chevron launched the “California Partnership”. The effort involves partnering with over 60 non-profit groups to help introduce STEM curricula into California’s public schools. Since its launch, the project has reached more than 500,000 students and provided over 13,000 scholarships to students seeking to further their science and math education.
However, expanding STEM education in higher education is only part of the equation. We must capture a student’s interest in energy and the sciences at a younger age.
In Ohio, the Ohio Oil and Natural Gas Energy Education Program (OOGEEP) is doing exactly that. OOGEEP, a unique state organization celebrating its 15th anniversary this month, is working with primary schools across the state to increase education regarding science, engineering and energy development. OOGEEP also provided over 30 scholarships just last year to student’s interested in pursuing energy careers. OOGEEP’s efforts are critically important as sometimes all it takes is one positive experience to change the trajectory of a student’s career.
The Consumer Energy Alliance is also committed to helping prepare America’s youth for these new opportunities. Each year we partner with the City and University of Houston to host an Energy Day Festival where students participate in demonstrations with a variety of energy companies and research institutions. More than 26,000 students and their families have attended over the past two years.
In addition to these types of programs, leaders in every state must work proactively to highlight the abundant opportunities associated with vocational education programs. Again, a program exists that can be emulated. In Pennsylvania, a new effort called ShaleNet, supported in part by the U.S. Department of Labor, has connected thousands of students with vocational education and jobs in the energy industry.
All of these programs, and others like them, allow our nation’s youth and adults to develop their education for employment in a burgeoning U.S. energy industry. Now that our nation understands its energy abundance it’s imperative that leaders in the energy industry, the nation’s universities and community colleges, and governments at all levels help prepare our citizens for the opportunities ahead. After all, employment in the energy sector generally offers higher salaries, more generous benefits, and greater job security than the average U.S. worker.
The education of our nation’s younger workforce, and re-education of those American’s currently without a job, is one of the most important issues facing our nation’s energy and manufacturing industries – and thus our continued economic growth.
Knowing these programs are in place is the first step. Implementing them on a national scale is imperative to continue to advance the energy industry and our economic success while providing increased employment opportunities for Americans nationwide. Doing so would create a 50 state jobs program which is greatly needed.
David Holt is president of the Consumer Energy Alliance.

Posted: 2013-02-09, 12:17AM PSTEdited: 2013-02-09, 12:17AM PSTemail to a friendRepublicans aim to overturn Obama’s plan for Alaskan oil

(AP Photo/Subhankar Banerjee via the Alaska Wilderness League, File) House Republicans on Wednesday took one of the first steps toward overturning a new Obama administration plan for managing wildlife and oil development in the 23-million-acre National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska.
During a House subcommittee hearing on a bill to repeal the reserve management plan, Republicans insisted the administration’s blueprint tilts too heavily toward conservation by walling off energy development in roughly half of the reserve.
“The Obama administration appears determined, against the wishes of most Alaskans, to keep their energy resources off limits,” said Rep. Doc Hastings, R-Wash. who sponsored the repeal bill along with Rep. Don Young, R-Alaska.
Finalized by the Interior Department in February, the management plan would allow companies to hunt for oil and gas in 11.8 million acres. It also explicitly would allow pipelines to cross the reserve, considered crucial to connecting potential oil development in Arctic waters with the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System.

However oil companies have warned that the management plan could make it more difficult to place and build such pipelines, by potentially blocking the infrastructure through Teshekpuk Lake and at the most likely point for a Chukchi Sea pipeline to come ashore, Kasegaluk Lagoon. Navigating around those areas could be difficult and more costly than going straight through them.
The Hastings-Young bill would force the Interior Department to scrap the record of decision that formalized the plan in February and go back to the drawing board.
Three other bills considered by a House Natural Resources subcommittee on Wednesday aim to open more federal territory for oil development and overhaul the way U.S. drilling leases are sold. Similar measures passed the House last year but did not advance in the Senate.
Rep. Doug Lamborn, R-Colo., said the measures “will take great steps forward to promote domestic energy security, economic development and job creation.”
But Rep. Rush Holt, D-N.J., cast the exercise as futile, predicting that they would once again die in the Senate.
“What is the justification for doing these things, other than to give the energy interests a free ride?” Holt questioned. “The Republican bills would elevate speed over safety while opening huge swaths of public land” to energy development.
The casualty, Holt said, would be hunting, fishing and other activities allowed on federal lands, which would be relegated behind drilling.
One of the bills generally would force the Interior Department to process applications for permits to drill on federal land within 60 days, effectively deeming pending applications as approved if the deadline passes without action. The measure, sponsored by Lamborn, also would prevent the government from collecting the current $6,500 fee for processing those drilling permits until a decision is issued.
And it would impose a $5,000 fee for anyone seeking to protest Bureau of Land Management permitting decisions — a proposal that supporters said was key to dissuading a rash of lawsuits.
The acting deputy director of Interior’s Bureau of Land Management, Jamie Connell, told lawmakers Wednesday the the legislation would impose “unreasonable timeframes” for processing those permits. Recent changes already have cut down on the number of permit protests, Connell said, suggesting that the $5,000 fee is not needed.
At least one measure considered Wednesday is relatively non-controversial; the bill would allow the Interior Department to sell onshore oil and gas drilling leases via the Internet.
Sponsor Bill Johnson, R-Ohio, has said the legislation would modernize “an outdated and inefficient lease sale process that requires bidders to appear in person to purchase land leases.” The result is that some would-be buyers don’t participate, preventing prices from reaching their full potential.
Connell said the administration backs the bill and considers it a chance for the Bureau of Land Management ”to expand upon its success” with a pilot project for Internet auctions. While the measure would set a quarterly schedule for onshore lease sales, the Interior Department is asking lawmakers to provide flexibility to hold those auctions more or less often in some cases.
