methane emissions

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.

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

A DNV report on decarbonization says the Middle East and North Africa region is expected to become the world’s largest hydrogen exporter by 2060 while maintaining a dominant position in global oil and gas markets.

The newly named MTS brings together the full methane ecosystem, end to end—connecting technology, data, operations, and assurance across upstream, midstream, and beyond.

This article is the first in a Q&A series from the SPE Methane Emissions Management Technical Section (MEMTS) on methane intelligence and how oil and gas teams translate emissions data into credible decisions and measurable reductions.

The report from the Oil and Gas Climate Initiative presents data showing that its 12 member companies have reduced aggregate upstream methane intensity by 62%, routine flaring by 72%, and carbon intensity by 24% since 2017.
