Is your oil & gas operation facing costly delays, fines, or operational restrictions due to California's increasingly stringent air quality regulations? You're not alone—87% of oil and gas facilities in California experienced permitting delays in the past year, with an average cost impact of $230,000 per month.
 

In California's complex regulatory landscape, oil and gas operations face unprecedented air quality compliance challenges. With regulations evolving rapidly, even experienced operators struggle to navigate:
 

• Stringent emissions limits for VOCs, NOx, SOx, and particulate matter

• Complex Title V operating permit requirements

• Local Air District regulations layered with state and federal mandates

• Specialized reporting for methane, fugitive emissions, and flaring operations

• Enhanced monitoring requirements near sensitive receptors
   

The Impact on Operations and Profitability
 

For oil and gas companies, the stakes couldn't be higher:

• Permit delays averaging 8-14 months for major equipment modifications

• Non-compliance penalties reaching up to $75,000 per day for serious violations

• Production curtailments due to emission cap limitations

• Increasing capital expenditures for emissions control technology
