What’s BRIEF?
Project BRIEF (Bringing Real Information on Energy Forward) is a comprehensive and quantitative research project that seeks to illuminate the real facts behind one of the most misunderstood industries in the nation. A project of America’s independent oil and natural gas producers, Project BRIEF is conducted by some of the nation’s most respected and trusted analysts in the field, drawing on local knowledge and primary sources of information.
Researchers compiled their findings into three reports, each focusing on a different aspect of the energy industry.
- Analysis of Federal Laws: The first report is an analysis of the federal environmental laws, the structure of these laws as they relate to oil and natural gas production, and the history of their implementation.
- Effective State Regulation: The second report captures and analyzes the history of state regulation and oversight of oil and natural gas production.
- Economic Consequences of New Regulations: The third report quantifies the energy and economic consequences of changing they way current environmental laws and regulations apply, or do not apply, to the production of oil and gas.
Too often, sound bites and radical claims are accepted as truth on their face and without delving deeper into the facts. Now, with the research put forth by Project BRIEF, the public can finally see the reality behind the rhetoric.
