Emission management
The Biden administration has ramped up efforts to reduce methane emissions, targeting the oil and gas industry for its role in global warming even as President Joe Biden has pressed energy producers for more oil drilling to lower prices at the gasoline pump.
Seven facilities design and public engagement principles are identified as key elements for the future oil and natural gas production facilities for the DJ Basin, and maybe even as a guide for other North American onshore shale basins.
The company says its methane intensity has gone down by more than 50% since 2016.

A duo of deals sees BP snapping up a US biogas producer, while TC Energy invests in producing biogas from Jack Daniel's byproducts. -
In the search for leaks, more oil and gas companies are making the argument that ground-based inspections cannot compete with aerial surveys.

The new-generation FPSO will minimize emissions with carbon capture and reinjection as well as energy-recovery capabilities.
-
Airborne emissions surveys of offshore oil and gas facilities are not as common as those done onshore. A recent study suggests that needs to change.
-
The assumption of lower emissions from natural gas only holds true when the methane leaks and flaring are addressed. Mitigation of methane emissions offers an opportunity for the oil and gas industry to drastically reduce overall emissions that are typically reported on a CO2-equivalent basis. Some producers opt to showcase their good performance via voluntary certifi…
