The authors of this paper discuss Saudi Arabia’s progress in gas flaring, the measures the government has taken, and how operators have adapted.

The authors of this paper describe an initiative taken to measure baseline data for methane emission for gas-processing facilities and gas-transmission and regasification units by using accurate tools and methodologies for detection and quantification.

Texas A&M University-Qatar in collaboration with the SPE Qatar Section conducted a 2-day virtual workshop on flow assurance, carbon reduction, and digitalization. Participants included more than 200 professionals associated with academia, research institutes, and industry from 23 countries.

A methane-quantification tool was developed by Petronas on the basis of applicable methane sources listed in guidelines produced by the Oil and Gas Climate Initiative.

The Oil and Gas Climate Initiative says its members’ absolute upstream methane emissions were down 40% since 2017. That’s equivalent to taking more than 3 million cars off the road for a year.

Data from member companies reveals an increased intensity in greenhouse-gas emissions for 2021. And, while flaring increased, too, long-term trends on that practice are clearly moving downward.

A duo of deals sees BP snapping up a US biogas producer, while TC Energy invests in producing biogas from Jack Daniel's byproducts.

The guidance is intended to clarify for industry what is expected of projects going through federal regulatory assessment.

A just-launched publicly available database translates reserves and production data into greenhouse-gas emissions as CO2 equivalents. It was built using data from more than 50,000 fields in 89 countries, which covers about 75% of global reserves, production, and emissions.
