Oilfield services provider Halliburton said that it would set greenhouse-gas emission reduction targets in line with what the latest climate science outlines is necessary to meet the goals of the Paris Accord.

Using a European Space Agency satellite, data analytics firm Kayrros pinpointed global locations of methane emissions and recorded a 32% increase in the overall volume of methane emitted from large leaks compared with the first 8 months of 2019.

Williams Companies announced a near-term goal of a 56% absolute reduction from 2005 levels in greenhouse-gas emissions by 2030, aiming for net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. Why is this significant, and where can emissions be mitigated in the midstream natural-gas gathering and boosting segment?

Oil and gas companies must boost investment in low carbon energies or face an increasing backlash that could threaten their long-term profits and social acceptance, the International Energy Agency said.

A multibillion dollar boom in petrochemical plants proposed along the US Gulf Coast could pump as much greenhouse gas into the air as 131 coal-fired power plants by 2030, according to a study released by researchers at The University of Texas.

Oil and gas industry expansions could add as much greenhouse gas pollution as the equivalent of 50 coal plants by 2025—with much of that increase coming from Texas and Louisiana—at a time when pressure to slow down global warming rises, a new report found.

The company has launched new climate ambitions to reduce the absolute greenhouse gas emissions from its operated offshore fields and onshore plants in Norway by 40% by 2030, 70% by 2040, and to near zero by 2050.

Equinor has released its plan for eliminating carbon dioxide emissions in Norway by 2050, but it comes with some tall technical challenges.

New Mexico released data on excess greenhouse emissions from oil and gas operations to keep the public informed of the problem, as the state continues to develop stricter policies to regulate air pollution from the industry and other sources.

The energy major said it plans to reduce emission intensity by 5–10% for upstream oil production and by 2–5% for upstream gas.
