critical to addressing U.S. energy challenges: Cavaney
June 26, 2008 - ( 
PDF)
WASHINGTON - In a letter to Congress before the 4th of July holiday
week, API President and CEO Red Cavaney talked about the impact of high
prices on U.S. product deliveries, noting they were down "for the January-May
period for the first time since 1991." He said that strong world demand
for crude oil was nonetheless keeping upward pressure on prices and
that it was important to supply more of the oil and natural gas we consume
from resources we could be developing here at home. "Our nation," he
concluded, "needs a much stronger commitment to energy efficiency, as
well as all the economically viable energy that can be provided in an
environmentally sound manner. There are no simple, quick solutions to
our energy challenges, but bipartisan cooperation, in concert with industry
and other stakeholders, can make a stronger energy future possible."
"Idle"
lease claims based on lack of understanding: Cavaney
June 20, 2008 - ( PDF)
WASHINGTON - In a letter to Congress, API President and CEO Red Cavaney
said that proposed legislation that would deny new leases to oil and
natural gas companies that have so-called "idle" leases would keep more
of America's vast energy resources locked up underground and seriously
harm the nation's ability to produce sufficient energy to meet demand.
Cavaney said these claims of "idle" leases are "based on a lack of understanding
of the mechanics and due process involved in oil and natural gas exploration
and production."
