Track oil and gas regulatory requirements, deadlines, and updates across FERC, EPA, and PHMSA - all in one place.
Oil and gas compliance is more complex - and more consequential - than ever.
Energy operators today face overlapping reporting obligations from FERC, EPA, and PHMSA, layered on top of state-level requirements from the Texas Railroad Commission, Colorado ECMC, North Dakota NDIC, and Wyoming OGC. Each agency has distinct filing deadlines, data formats, and enforcement priorities — and the cost of a missed filing goes well beyond a penalty notice.
Manual compliance tracking creates gaps. Deadlines get missed when obligations span multiple agencies and systems. Enforcement actions, corrective orders, and consent agreements follow — consuming compliance staff time and executive attention that should be focused on operations.
AI-native platforms like Noxara AI unify regulatory monitoring, deadline tracking, and document management across all federal and state bodies. Compliance teams get a single, current view of obligations — without stitching together spreadsheets, email alerts, and agency websites.
- FERC Compliance Form 2, Form 6, and EQR filing requirements for natural gas and oil pipeline operators, with deadline calendars and recent rule changes.
- EPA Reporting Greenhouse gas reporting under 40 CFR Part 98 Subpart W, Clean Air Act NSPS OOOOa/b, and NESHAP obligations for upstream and midstream operations.
- PHMSA Pipeline Safety Pipeline integrity management programs, annual and incident reporting requirements, and PHMSA inspection and enforcement trends.
- State Commissions Texas RRC, Colorado ECMC, North Dakota NDIC, and Wyoming OGC reporting obligations - and how they interact with federal mandates.
A clear framework for oil and gas regulatory obligations
Federal and state reporting requirements for energy operators span six distinct compliance domains. Understanding each one — and the deadlines attached to it — is the foundation of a sound compliance program. Noxara AI monitors all six continuously and surfaces changes before they affect your filings.
- FERC Financial Reporting Major natural gas pipelines file Form 2 annually. Oil pipelines file Form 6. Electric Quarterly Reports (EQR) apply where jurisdictional. FERC also requires tariff filings and capacity release reporting under Order 636.
- EPA Greenhouse Gas Reporting Operators above 25,000 MT CO2e annually must report under 40 CFR Part 98 Subpart W. Annual GHG reports are due March 31. EPA also enforces NSPS OOOOa/b for new and modified sources and NESHAP for hazardous air pollutants.
- PHMSA Pipeline Integrity Gas transmission and hazardous liquid operators must maintain integrity management programs, submit annual reports by March 15, and report significant incidents within defined timeframes. PHMSA conducts both on-site and records inspections.
- State Commission Reporting Texas RRC, Colorado ECMC, North Dakota NDIC, and Wyoming OGC each require production reporting, well status updates, and environmental filings on distinct schedules - often monthly or quarterly - independent of federal obligations.
- Deadline Calendar Management Q1 filings include EPA GHG reports (March 31) and PHMSA annual reports (March 15). Q2 through Q4 bring FERC EQR deadlines, state production reports, and mid-year emissions certifications. Gaps between overlapping deadlines are where most violations occur.
- AI-Driven Compliance Automation AI-native platforms connect regulatory monitoring, document management, and deadline tracking in a single system. Automated alerts flag upcoming filings, identify rule changes, and reduce the manual effort required to prepare and submit reports on time.
