Very broadly, they found that an LCFS would buffer the economy against global oil price spikes, trim demand for petroleum, and lessen upward pressure on gas prices. Treat all crude oils as part of the overall pool of transportation fuels. We did not shy away from controversy. We are not advocates. Harmonize global LCFS policies.
Oil and Natural Gas Extraction: Oil and natural gas operations can both produce and consume water. When oil and natural gas are extracted from the subsurface, water is often extracted along with them. Produced water must be treated and/or re-injected into the subsurface.
