- Hughes and Luce, Dallas, TX (United States)
These days everyone in the oil and gas industry in the United States is familiar with the complex overlay of the seemingly infinite federal and state agencies claiming jurisdiction over oil and gas exploration and production and the associated operations. Although exemptions exist under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) for wastes associated with the exploration, development or production of crude oil or gas, and petroleum and natural gas are excluded from regulation under the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation Liability Act (CERCLA), recent case law continues to dilute the exemptions under RCRA and CERCLA. Furthermore, other byproducts of oil and gas exploration and production are increasingly being regulated under these statutes and other federal and state statutes.
