methane emissions

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.

The Australian oil and gas company said the new commitments underscore its goal to achieve net zero Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2040.

The French company inked agreements at COP28 to share its newly developed CO2 and methane detection platform with NOCs in Brazil, Angola, and Azerbaijan.

SLB will deliver measurement plans for Eni aligned to the United Nations’ OGMP 2.0 reporting standards for methane emissions.

Declining costs to launch monitoring satellites, as well as artificial intelligence, which makes parsing terabytes of emissions data feasible, have given the oil and gas industry an emerging tool for environmental stewardship.

SPE recently became a supporting organization of the Aiming for Zero Methane Emissions Initiative, which aims to reduce methane emissions from oil and gas operations to near zero by 2030.

The company says the compact instrument enables mass deployment of accurate and continuous methane monitoring.

Ipieca, together with the International Association of Oil and Gas Producers and the Oil and Gas Climate Initiative, released the guide to help operators select and deploy methane detection technologies.
