Methane Atom Feed

This article from the SPE Sustainable Development Technical Section (SDTS) explores how the next phase of methane performance will be defined less by pledges and more by measurement, response, and verifiable results.

While Uzbekistan has seen a significant drop in flaring, methane leaks from deteriorating infrastructure continue to reveal themselves to satellites in space.

This article from the SPE Methane Technical Section looks at how, as methane regulation becomes more consequential in global oil and gas trade, operators increasingly need emissions data that can withstand commercial scrutiny, regulatory review, and independent verification.

The 2025 report confirms for the second year that the Appalachian Basin has the lowest methane intensity of any major oil and gas basin in the US.

The rise in China’s gas production, now exceeding that of Qatar and of Australia, is also limiting growth in its LNG demand.

This article from the SPE Methane Technical Section discusses Aramco’s efforts at quantifying and reducing its methane emissions across its value chain.

The Oil and Gas Climate Initiative (OGCI) and nonprofit Carbon Mapper announced they are teaming up to launch a new collaboration aimed at accelerating practical and measurable reductions in methane emissions from the oil and gas industry.

The tools to reduce flaring are well within reach, but the results will depend on a long-term commitment by operators and governments.

The objective of this study is to numerically investigate system behavior when storing H2/natural gas (CH4) mixtures in aquifer-related underground gas storage, and the effect of gas composition and salinity on energy-recovery efficiency.

The US Environmental Protection Agency withdraws its legal basis for federal vehicle GHG standards, setting up potential court challenges.
