The oil giant launched its Bakken crypto pilot in January 2021 and now is considering expanding it to Nigeria, Argentina, Guyana, and Germany, according to people familiar with the matter.

The agency’s new Global Methane Tracker analysis reports that methane emissions from the energy sector are 70% higher than official figures.

Pennsylvania regulators have released a long-awaited final draft of rules to cut releases of methane from the state’s existing oil and natural gas well sites, but they will still not require companies to find and fix leaks at tens of thousands of low-producing wells.

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…

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.
