methane emissions

Texas regulators are taking public comment about how they should implement an EPA rule to reduce methane leaks from the oil and gas industry.

The upstream oil and gas sector alone could cut as much as 4% of global greenhouse-gas emissions, according to a report from McKinsey. But this will take worldwide cooperation among industry players and capital investors.

This paper examines how data-science-driven work practices can result in substantial reductions in methane emissions compared with other leak-detection and -repair methods.

The rule, part of the Inflation Reduction Act established by Congress, allows the Environmental Protection Agency to charge large emitters of methane if they surpass specific levels.

The US Department of Energy presented the loan to LongPath Technologies to support the buildout of a high-frequency methane emissions monitoring network in US oil and gas production basins.

Applications are open for the funding, which comes from the Inflation Reduction Act, for projects that help monitor, measure, quantify, and reduce methane emissions.

The revisions to the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program aim to bring greater transparency and accountability for methane emissions from oil and natural gas facilities.

Heightened focus on methane emissions management spurs a new conceptual framework to aid in determining the duration of detected methane emissions, data that may be useful to stakeholders responsible for measurement-informed emission protocols.

At COP28, more than 50 oil and gas companies took a historic step toward decarbonization by launching the Oil & Gas Decarbonization Charter. This article explores the importance of this effort, the opportunities available to the industry to reduce its Scope 1 and 2 emissions, and the key technologies needed to achieve the net-zero goal.
