FPC Faces Decision on Permian Gas Prices Thursday
Federal Power Commission readiness to decide on a two price system for wells in the Permian Basin could set precedent for 21 other producing regions. The ruling may free about 4 500 smaller producers from federal controls while 100 large producers stay under regulation. Seymour Wenner’s 1964 ruling proposes higher prices for gas from wells developed for gas, with lower prices for gas from oil by products. Wenner argues two prices spur exploration and future supply, while producers fear regulatory chaos and higher consumer costs.
