BATON ROUGE, LA (October 11, 2022) - There has been lots of back and forth lately about Carbon Capture, Usage, & Storage (CCUS). Sadly, two parishes recently passed moratoriums on future CCUS projects. In defense of these parish’s decisions, CCUS sounds like something new to them. They don’t believe the injection process is proven, don’t believe the parishes will be compensated, and have been told that properties can be taken by eminent domain.

I am writing to you today on behalf of the Louisiana Oil & Gas Association, an organization that represents the oil and gas operators and the service companies of the oil and gas industry in Louisiana. We respectfully request that you quickly finalize the 5-year program for offshore leasing and include the maximum number of offshore lease sales.
