ConventionSec tion: Kansas Independent Oil & Gas Association
Although such a warped mischaracterization
may raise questions about the
good faith of the groups making that
case, Krauss suggests the explanation is
probably more prosaic. " The groups don't
get it and assume that every producer is
a 'fat cat,' " she muses. " The crux of it is
that they seem to think they are going
after 'big oil' even if they're hurting
small producers.' "
Encouraging Results
June also saw two positive developments:
Congress passed a bill to raise
the federal debt ceiling with language to
reform aspects of the federal permitting
process, and the U.S. Supreme Court
struck down the Biden administration's
interpretation of waters of the United
States (WOTUS) for purposes of Clean
Water Act jurisdiction.
" KIOGA supports federal permitting
reform, even though that has minimal
impact in Kansas, " Krauss affirms. " More
importantly, failing to reach a debt ceiling
deal would have brought a massive economic
crash, with all its negative consequences
for oil markets. It has been nice to
see bipartisanship is not completely dead. "
" Kansas does not have much federal
land, but permitting reform is important
for American energy production, " Cross
adds. " Some other reforms may follow
that may affect Kansas more directly. The
entire government needs to make sure its
regulations follow congressional intent,
but a lot of agency bureaucrats interpret
the law according to their own intent. "
The WOTUS ruling appears to be a
particularly strong restraint against such
regulatory meandering, Cross assesses.
" That was a great victory, " he affirms.
" Administrations should look to write
regulations according to congressional intent
instead of working backwards to get
the outcome they already want. Agencies
are full of unelected government officials
that are not accountable to the voters. "
And if EPA continues to ignore industry
input on its methane proposal, Cross predicts
that regulation's fate also will hinge
on a Supreme Court ruling. " Many in
Congress, including our own delegation,
say EPA's methane rule contradicts the
actual language in the Inflation Reduction
Act that protects small wells, " he reports.
" The court seems to be telling regulators
that if they are unsure of how to interpret
vague passages in a law, they should seek
congressional clarification. "
Technical Over Political
KIOGA looks back on the 2023 Kansas
Legislature, which adjourned in April, as
a successful session, Cross says. " We
were able to pass some things that we
wanted and stop some things that we opposed, "
he recounts.
" Our biggest legislative victories are
not always about seeing the passage of
bills for which we have advocated, "
Krauss reflects. " Our most important victories
are often about preventing bad legislation
from being enacted. More than
anything else, KIOGA plays defense. "
The association did precisely that on
HB 2154, which sought to make Kansas
Corporation Commissioners elected officials.
Cross was among those who testified
against the legislation in committee before
the legislation ultimately stalled and died.
