ScottMadden to Speak in SNL Webinar

Jan. 23, 2013 - PRLog -- ScottMadden, Inc., one of North America’s leading energy consulting firms, is pleased to join forces with SNL and speak on fracking regulation during in an interactive webinar, “Regulatory Update 2013 (http://center.snl.com/Programs/webinar.aspx?id=4294970135)” on Thursday, January 24, 2013, from 1:30–3:00 PM EST.

This 90-minute session, moderated by Walter Crenshaw, senior program manager of SNL Knowledge Center, will provide strategic insights on the regulations that most directly impact businesses. Stu Pearman (http://www.scottmadden.com/bios/29/Stu-Pearman.html), partner and energy practice leader at ScottMadden; Chris MacCracken, principal at ICFi; and Carolyn Elefant, principal at Law Offices of Carolyn Elefant, will discuss the changing regulatory field of play.

“Fracking regulation is a moving target, and is about as clear as drilling mud,” says Mr. Pearman. “The EPA is studying drinking water impacts, rethinking longstanding drilling exemptions, and considering using regulations not subject to those exemptions. The states run the gamut from taxing it, to banning it, and everything in between. How this morphs and crystallizes will make a big difference for our industry and the U.S. economy.”

With the lingering uncertainty around current regulations and upcoming changes, businesses need to understand current rules and what may lie over the horizon.
