Book excerpt: Federal and state regulatory agencies manage and oversee the development of federal and Indian oil and gas resources by issuing rules and guidance, reviewing drilling applications, and inspecting wells to ensure compliance with environmental, safety, and other regulations. In fiscal year 2013, federal and Indian energy production, including oil and gas, generated almost $15 billion in revenue. Recent advances in drilling technologies have greatly expanded the ability to develop oil and gas resources, particularly from shale and tight sandstone rock formations. GAO was asked to review oversight of federal and Indian oil and gas resources. This report (1) discusses the changes to federal and selected state agencies' rules over the past 5 years and (2) examines the effectiveness of BLM's management and oversight of federal and Indian resources. GAO reviewed federal and selected state agencies' rules and guidance, data from federal agencies, and other documentation. GAO selected a sample of 14 states based, in part, on their involvement with oil and gas development. This information cannot be generalized to all states. GAO recommends that, among other things, BLM ensure that its rules governing oil and gas development are consistent with technological advances, improve coordination of inspections with states, and improve the timeliness of revenue sharing agreement reviews.
