The international consultancy has agreed with Russia’s Rosneft to evaluate the state-owned major’s carbon capture potential.

Decarbonization has become the catch-all term for climate action. But, while carbon dioxide is the biggest contributor to global warming, the case for tough action against methane emissions, known as "demethanization," is literally becoming clearer by the day.

The Oil and Gas Climate Initiative has reduced its collective upstream methane and carbon intensity targets for 2025. Together, the revisions to these targets would bring an additional reduction of around 50 million tonnes of CO2 equivalent per year.

Major energy companies are tapping into wine residues, used cooking oil, and waste animal fat to produce biofuels. Retooling to meet clean energy goals dominated the first day of the SPE Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition. And the US and European Union launched a global methane reduction pact that has climate advocates breathing a sigh of relief just weeks bef…

Congressional Democrats have approved a measure reinstating rules aimed at limiting climate-warming greenhouse-gas emissions from oil and gas drilling.

No single silver bullet exists to wipe out methane emissions generated by upstream oil and gas activities. Experts at a recent forum discussed an array of technologies and strategies to help the industry make smart decisions to measure, monitor, and mitigate emissions of the potent greenhouse gas.

Carbon dioxide levels are now higher than at any time in the past 3.6 million years.

This paper presents a field trial that compares multiple methane detection and quantification methods and compares the measurements with engineering estimates of emissions.

This paper presents a ubiquitous sensing network that has been developed, tested, and piloted at several oil and gas facilities as well as at an in-house simulated well site. The system integrates wireless methane sensor nodes, weather sensors, and other edge devices for autonomous operation.

New Mexico’s state treasurer is calling on state environmental regulators to close loopholes in proposed rules aimed at reducing emissions of methane and other pollutants from the oil and natural gas industry.
