methane emissions

After 2 years of testing, Shell is going all in on using high-flying technology to catch methane leaks to reduce its overall emissions to less than 1%.

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?

Using an underwater remotely operated vehicle, activists on board the Greenpeace ship Esperanza documented a large methane leak in the North Sea caused by a major blowout during an oil drilling operation 30 years ago.

The oil and gas industry is not the largest emitter of methane, but addressing the emissions still needs to be a priority, a recent panel said. Incentivizing lower emissions, following best practices, and creating transparency are key to bringing about this change.

Machine learning enables fast, cost-effective, and accurate methane emissions detection in remote areas.

Tracking down fugitive emissions has traditionally relied on small-scale detection efforts. This new project seeks to buck the trend by covering the Permian Basin with sensors.

Video shows a substantial share of oil and gas flares are unlit or faulty, revealing a previously overlooked methane source that could turn out to be one of the region’s biggest.

Enough gas to supply 7 million homes is leaking into the atmosphere above oil fields in Texas and New Mexico, the largest plume of climate-change-driving methane pollution ever recorded over a US oil field, a new study from Harvard University and Environmental Defense Fund shows.

Methane, a powerful greenhouse gas, is leaking from industry sites at rates equivalent to the annual carbon emissions of France and Germany combined, a new analysis using satellite data shows.

A system proposed by researchers at the University of California, Santa Barbara, uses hyperspectral imaging and machine learning to detect the specific wavelength of methane emissions.
