The intensity of methane and greenhouse-gas emissions from the oil and gas sector declined 28% and 30%, respectively, between 2019 and 2021 among the largest producers in the country, according to an analysis published by the nonprofits Clean Air Task Force and Ceres.

This paper presents the oil spill contingency plan adopted by Pertamina to protect sensitive areas on and around Java, the world’s most populous island.

A new study that analyzed 17 years of migratory bird-nesting data in Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, revealed that nest survival decreased significantly near high-use oil and gas infrastructure and its related noise, dust, traffic, air pollution, and other disturbances.

The authors of this paper describe a continuous monitoring system based on the Internet of Things (IoT) to use methane-concentration sensors permanently installed at facilities and connected to a cloud-based interpretation platform.

The Center for Western Priorities’ annual Western Oil and Gas Spills Tracker report shows that Colorado’s oil and gas industry is trending in the wrong direction on drilling-related spills.

Several options exist for large-scale hydrogen underground storage: lined caverns, salt domes, saline aquifers, and depleted oil/gas reservoirs. In this paper, a commercial reservoir simulator was used to model cyclic injection/withdrawal from saline aquifers and depleted oil/gas reservoirs. The results revealed the need to contain the stored volume with an integrated…

Regulators told some injection well operators close to the epicenter of a magnitude 4.0 earthquake that they will have to shut down their operations indefinitely.

This case study highlights the effectiveness of unmanned aerial systems in enabling land-based operators to assess the relative seriousness of leaks efficiently by both localizing and quantifying their methane emission rates.

Recently published research suggests that carbon dioxide stored underground will stay there for millions of years.

Because diversity of aquatic animals is an indicator of safe and environmentally friendly operations, a pilot system has been launched that uses an underwater camera and artificial intelligence to observe aquatic animals around a platform.
