methane emissions

A new study confirms the success of a natural-gas leak-detection tool pioneered by Los Alamos National Laboratory scientists that uses sensors and machine learning to locate leak points at oil and gas fields, promising new automatic, affordable sampling across a vast natural gas infrastructure.

IPIECA, the global oil and gas industry association for advancing environmental and social performance, has scheduled a virtual workshop for 2 November to look at methane science, regulations, voluntary initiatives, and global expectations.

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.

There is a lot of talk these days about transitions. There are technology transitions going on. There are demographic and cultural transitions in the workforce and in society at large. But the one I want to focus on in this column is the so-called “energy transition.”

Natron Energy aims to scale up domestic manufacturing of sodium-ion batteries , and Bridger Photonics will target the operational efficiency for leak detection and emissions tracking.

Just one orphaned site in California could have emitted more than 30 tons of methane. There are millions more like it.

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.

Reported greenhouse-gas emissions from Canada’s oil patch have more than doubled in the year’s first half as changes to how they are measured revealed a more extensive picture of environmental damage, previously unreported industry data show.
