An investigation by ProPublica found that lax oversight and uncertain science plague the program under which industries dump trillions of gallons of waste underground.

Rapid proliferation of hydrofracturing natural gas wells has led to regulatory oversights, placing the industry at a crossroads.

Analysis: Evidence continues to mount that natural gas, at least in the Lower 48, is not as clean as we like to think.

A former EPA official says it's time for Congress to re-evaluate a decision to exempt hydraulic fracturing from the Safe Drinking Water Act.

After three members of Congress reported this week that drilling companies have been injecting large amounts of diesel fuel underground to hydraulically fracture oil and gas wells, the industry is fighting back.

New research by the Environmental Protection Agency -- and a growing understanding of the pollution associated with the full “life cycle” of gas production -- is casting doubt on the assumption that gas offers a quick and easy solution to climate change.

The extensive pipeline system that moves oil, gas and waste throughout BP's operations in Alaska is plagued by severe corrosion, according to an internal maintenance report generated four weeks ago.

Here's a little more detail on what it means that 148 of BP's pipelines in Alaska had been ranked for "failure" by BP inspectors, and a more robust explanation from BP than it offered for the main story.

The extensive pipeline system that moves oil, gas and waste throughout BP's operations in Alaska is plagued by severe corrosion, according to an internal maintenance report generated four weeks ago.

One career EPA attorney had reached conclusions about BP's operating culture long before the Deepwater Horizon and its aftermath.

An intelligence bulletin from the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI warns Penn. law enforcement of an "increasing threat" to security and to the energy sector.

Six years after a scathing 2001 internal review of BP's Alaska operations found that the company wasn't maintaining safety equipment and faced "a fundamental lack of trust" among workers, a follow-up study concluded BP had made little headway in addressing those concerns.

Six years after a scathing review of BP's Alaska operations found problems with safety and worker trust, a follow-up study concluded BP had made little headway in addressing those concerns between 2001 and 2007.

A series of internal investigations over the past decade warned senior BP managers that the company repeatedly disregarded safety and environmental rules and risked a serious accident if it did not change its ways.

Officials at the Environmental Protection Agency are considering whether to bar BP from receiving government contracts, a move that would ultimately cost the company billions in revenue and could end its drilling in federally controlled oil fields.
