The Interior Department on Monday announced beefed-up regulations for offshore oil and natural gas drilling, including tougher standards for blowout preventers and a requirement that operators send data about equipment failures directly to the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement. In response, American Petroleum Institute Vice President of Upstream Policy Cole Ramsey said, "The politicization of this rule and subsequent shift in policy from administration to administration only increases uncertainty for producers and fails to meaningfully improve offshore safety."
The system is expected to approach the Leeward Islands on the eastern edge of the Caribbean by the end of the week. It currently has a 40% chance for development over the next five days.

Hart Energy: In the largest deal of the year, EQT Corp.’s $5.2 billion splurge on Appalachian Basin upstream and midstream assets will result in more free cash flow, lower operating costs, and an increased debt reduction—all while doubling shareholder buybacks.
On Sept. 6, EQT Corp. entered into a purchase agreement to acquire THQ Appalachia I LLC (Tug Hill)’s upstream assets and THQ-XcL Holdings I LLC (XcL Midstream)’s gathering and processing assets. Both private companies are backed by private-equity provider Quantum Energy Partners.
The Appalachian bolt-on adds 800 MMcfe/d to EQT’s current operations. The company will gain approximately 90,000 core net acres offsetting its existing West Virginia core leasehold, with a 96% operated working interest and 83% net revenue interest.
