A Review of Shale Gas Regulations by State

Experts in RFF's Center for Energy Economics and Policy are analyzing regulations and surveying regulators in the 31 states in the continental United States that have significant shale gas reserves or where industry has shown interest in shale gas development. The maps in this project show the preliminary results of these efforts for approximately 20 important regulatory elements in each state. As relevant regulations or statutes are adopted or passed, or other new information becomes available, the maps will be updated accordingly. A final report that includes all updated maps and additional analysis will be released in fall 2012. In the meantime, suggestions and comments are welcome and can be sent to gottlieb@rff.org.
