Earth, Air and Water in Oil and Gas Investing: Environmental Compliance Costs

The oil & gas sector produces a sizable environmental impact on earth, air and water. Exploration & production, refining & marketing and integrated oil companies are being pressured by regulators due to new and proposed rules related to oil sands development (earth), hydraulic fracturing (water) and carbon emissions (air). While the final forms of these rules are still taking shape, it is clear is that Oil & Gas companies will see a bottom line impact due to the cost of compliance.

Not all energy companies will bear the same cost due to differences in ecosystems, nature of operations, or better environmental risk management. As an investor, you need to understand these rules and their impacts so you can better mitigate potential risk to your portfolio.
