In this session\, Keith will provide an overview of the key provisions in the proposed LDAR rule and discuss the next steps in the rulemaking process.

SUMMARY:15th Appalachia Energy Law Conference
DESCRIPTION:Babst Calland joins the Institute for Energy Law and the Energy & Mineral Law Foundation (EMLF) at the 15th Appalachia Energy Law Conference (f/k/a Law of Shale Plays Conference)\, September 4-5\, 2024. Focused on legal issues related to onshore energy production\, primarily oil and gas production in Appalachia\, this conference brings together clients\, attorneys\, professional landmen\, and other professionals to learn and discuss important cases\, concepts\, and trends. In addition\, the conference features multiple networking opportunities with other attendees. \nAttorney Jim Chen will be a co-panelist for the “New Opportunities in the Emerging Transportation and Energy Sector” session. New technologies have emerged with the increasing growth of alternative energy into the grid mix. These new technologies expressly include the use of energy storage in the form of lithium-ion batteries that have proven to be a resilient and reliable option to store energy to even the flow of generation from intermittent sources such as wind and solar. The battery technology has also proven helpful in grid stabilization\, supplemental sources for peak demand\, and backup power in cases of failures. With the increasing demand for this technology growing in several sectors (e.g.\, electric vehicles as well as stationary application)\, questions have arisen regarding the sourcing of the raw materials and processing of minerals to manufacture those batteries. Currently\, the majority of minerals such as lithium\, cobalt\, nickel\, manganese\, bauxite and others are either produced or processed in foreign countries of concern (e.g.\, China). The current Administration has established a policy of onshoring sourcing of these minerals and their attendant processing in the United States. Recently\, the U.S. Department of Energy announced a $2.3 billion loan to Lithium Americas for development of a lithium carbonate processing plant in Nevada. Additional incentives and funding for those incentives were included in the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. This seminar will review the background in the growth of this new sector and how domestic industries in mining and mineral processing can potentially benefit from the new and developing federal policies supporting the growth of this industry. \nAttorney Jenni Hicks will serve as a conference co-chair.

SUMMARY:Shale Insight 2024
DESCRIPTION:Babst Calland joins the Marcellus Shale Coalition for Shale Insight 2024\, September 24-26\, 2024. Shale Insight offers participants unprecedented interaction with industry-leading CEOs\, elected officials and thought leaders\, all of whom play a critical role in crafting the public policy and technical landscape that defines shale gas development around the world. Insightful technical and public affairs sessions\, national keynote addresses\, and networking receptions will provide attendees\, sponsors\, and exhibitors unique access to the industry’s most influential leaders and innovators. \nAttorneys Christina McKinley and Gary Steinbauer will be co-panelists for “Climate Change Litigation and Related Federal Regulations\, Including EPA’s Methane Rule.” Panelists will describe and explain the status of litigation by cities and states against fossil fuel producers\, including the two matters before the United States Supreme Court that will determine the direction of dozens if not hundreds of cases now pending in state courts. In addition\, panelists will examine EPA’s Methane Rule and its various components\, share updates and insights on the Methane Rule’s implementation and legal challenges\, and discuss the relationship between EPA’s Methane Rule and EPA’s recent changes to the oil and gas greenhouse gas reporting requirements and proposed methane fee rule. \nAttorney Max Junker will be a co-panelist for “Municipal Update: Recent Ordinance Activity\, Working with Townships\, and More.” This session will provide a summary of recent ordinance activity throughout the Shale Play and include a discussion of best practices for managing relationships and projects between operators and township officials and staff. \nAttorney Jim Chen will present “New Opportunities for Critical Minerals from the Oil and Gas Industry.” As the United States continues to develop new and existing sources of energy to diversify supply in light of exponential demand growth\, the need for domestically produced and processed critical minerals (e.g.\, lithium) is presenting new opportunities for American companies.  Current and future potential Administrations recognize the need to support domestic industries with a range of policy and legislative initiatives that support and grow raw material sourcing and supply.  This session will examine existing policies and the potential direction of future growth in the new energy era for existing industries. \nFor more information\, click here. \nChristina McKinley \nGary Steinbauer \nMax Junker \nJim Chen
