Energy In Depth

Energy In Depth Become a fan of American energy production, and join the 1.2 million Americans hard at work responsibly developing our domestic energy resources.

Launched by the Independent Petroleum Association of America (IPAA) in 2009, Energy In Depth (EID) is a research, education and public outreach campaign focused on getting the facts out about the promise and potential of responsibly developing America’s onshore energy resource base – especially abundant sources of oil and natural gas from shale and other “tight” formations across the country. It’s

an effort that benefits directly from the support, direction and technical expertise of a broad segment of America’s oil and natural gas industry, led in Washington by IPAA, and guided on the ground by IPAA’s more than 6,000 members and affiliates in the states. Join in on the conversations here, and learn more about what we're doing to keep energy affordable here at home, create new jobs and minimize our dangerous dependence on foreign oil. Comment Policy:

A streamlined permitting process is vital to ensuring U.S. communities experience the full benefits of unleashing American energy.

Hart Energy underscored, “The U.S. is the world’s top exporter and can move to just about any place on the planet—it just can’t get enough to Massachusetts.”

The White House has called for changes to a heavily criticized system, but new rules require a lot more work.

: Increasing American exports provides economic and environmental benefits.

“The original report on LNG prepared by U.S. Department of Energy in 2023 clearly showed it was in America’s interest to grow our LNG exports, and it wouldn’t impact domestic prices and, in fact, it would lower greenhouse emissions,” explained Secretary Wright.

Biden paused LNG export permits in order to complete a study of their impact on consumer prices and climate change. Energy Secretary Wright says a study was already complete in 2023 showing that they wouldn't impact prices and would lower emissions.
