President Donald Trump is expected to unveil a proposal easing federal methane regulations for the oil and gas industry at a rally in Lubbock, Texas, on Tuesday.
The administration says the changes aim to increase domestic energy production and reduce costs for producers and consumers.
The Environmental Protection Agency is reconsidering oil and natural gas regulations introduced under President Joe Biden in 2024, following industry concerns about compliance costs.
According to Bloomberg, nearly 79% of US oil and gas wells are classified as marginal, potentially extending the impact of the changes across much of the industry.
EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin said the agency would soon propose additional elements of its broader regulatory review, emphasizing energy affordability for Americans.
