flaring

A recent study led by environmental engineers at Rice University quantifies the effect of black carbon particles on health.

It seems obvious that to manage the reduction of methane emissions an operator needs to measure the emissions, report them accurately, and then take action to mitigate them. But what might seem obvious gets tricky: Just what matters, and how can an operator efficiently and accurately measure those factors?

The new guidance provides oil and gas companies, governments, and regulators with a practical framework to end flaring and use the gas as an energy resource.

The authors determine that economical and environmentally responsible solutions exist for fluid disposal during well-testing operations.

The new 165-MW facility uses flare gas from the adjacent Sarqala field to generate power for local use.

Methane continues to escape at a high rate from oil and gas operations in the Permian Basin, according to an aerial survey that detected major methane plumes from 40% of 900 sites that were measured.

Gas-capturing targets were met for most of the year as routine flaring drops to just 7.5% statewide and even lower in the Bakken Shale.

As the Texas Railroad Commission shortens the flaring window for a Permian well, a commissioner says alternatives should be sought to avoid waste.

The Texas Methane and Flaring Coalition has released the first edition of the report, which it says will help lawmakers, media, and the general public understand the latest developments around methane and emissions.

Baker Hughes will build a modular fast-track natural gas liquids processing plant in southern Iraq to capture associated gas for power generation and to reduce flaring.
