Remote sensing technologies can be applied for a wide range of gas-leak flow rates in three main cases—major leaks in crisis management, medium-size leaks in safety monitoring, and small leaks in environmental monitoring.

The signed framework agreement would have GHGSat use its satellite-based sensors to monitor greenhouse gases coming from select Shell facilities.

Oil and gas producers might have been expected to welcome a decision to loosen regulations affecting their business. But, their reaction to the Trump administration’s move to roll back methane-emissions rules revealed at least tactical divisions on climate policy.

An EPA plan would end oversight of methane leaks at oil wells, a move that risks undermining the climate sales pitch for natural gas.

More than 60 producers participate in the program designed to reduce wellsite emissions.

Natural-gas production in the United States has increased 46% since 2006, but there has been no significant increase of total US methane emissions and only a modest increase from oil and gas activity, according to a new NOAA study.

Royal Dutch Shell urged US President Donald Trump’s administration to tighten restrictions on greenhouse gas emissions from oil and gas production, instead of weakening them as planned.

The deployment and adoption of digital technologies across the oil and gas value chain could help scale the effect of the industry’s methane-reduction efforts, finds a new report.

Exxon Mobil sent a letter to the US Environmental Protection Agency in support of methane gas emission rules put in place under the Obama administration, according to a copy of the letter seen by Reuters.

A new study offers answers to questions that have puzzled policymakers, researchers,and regulatory agencies for decades: How much methane is being emitted from natural gas operations across the US? And why have different estimation methods seemed to disagree?
