Jun 30, 2017 Industry Coalition Comments to the Energy Information Administration on its Proposed Revisions to Form EIA-914, “Monthly Crude Oil, Lease Condensate, and Natural Gas Production Report”
Dear Ms. Biercevicz: American Petroleum Institute (API), the American Exploration & Production Council (AXPC), Independent Petroleum Association of America (IPAA), the Natural Gas Supply Association (NGSA), US Oil & Gas Association (USOGA), and the Council of Petroleum Accountants Societies (COPAS) respectfully submit comments in response to the Federal Register notice issued on April 4, 2017 [FR Doc. 2017-06501] (“April 4 Notice”). In the April 4 Notice, the Energy Information Administration (EIA) requested industry comments on its proposal to expand its crude oil, lease condensate, and natural gas data collection to include five additional states/areas; collect crude oil and condensate stabilizer data; increase commentary details through multiple default-options as well as to provide a three-year extension of the EIA Form EIA-914 “Monthly Crude Oil, Lease Condensate, and Natural Gas Production Report.” Given that members of our organizations account for a large portion of the companies that are responsible for gathering and reporting production data to EIA, we appreciate the opportunity to comment on EIA’s proposal.
