Emission management
Natural gas-powered electric fleets look to pave the way for the next generation of power generation.
This article describes a technology combining a compression unit with a flexible line to offer a flaring alternative for transferring hydrocarbons.
This paper describes a deep-learning image-processing model that uses videos captured by a specialized optical gas-imaging camera to detect natural gas leaks.

An emissions-reduction study conducted for a Middle East operator identified potential annual savings of $10 million–$15 million, a 20% decrease in total Scope 1 CO2eq emissions, and 10 MW of energy reduction and delivered more than 100 recommendations for both technical and internal framework improvements. -
The suite of tools includes a digital platform for sharing emissions data, an agreed set of definitions that nails down what different terms mean, a single set of metadata definitions, and an API through which users can access data. When used together, these tools provide an integrated perspective on what emissions are coming from where.

ExxonMobil has won an independent certification level for managing methane emissions in its New Mexico shale operations and is the first company to meet the standard for associated gas.

Seven years, and we’re on track to exceed the 1.5°C target established by the Paris Agreement in 2015 to limit global warming by 2030. Instead, we may be turning up the heat to 3.0°C. And in this case, doubling the wager does not hold potential for greater rewards. A recent report addressed the costs of technologies for emissions mitigation and their likelihood of mak…

Gas flaring, which accounts for 30% of carbon emissions from fossil-fuel operations, dropped globally to a 10-year low in 2021, but questions remain whether 2022 will see a rebound as the industry reboots in a post-COVID-19 world with oil and gas supplies tightening.

ExxonMobil has initiated front-end engineering design studies to determine the feasibility of developing a South East Australia carbon capture and storage hub in the Bass Strait, where some of Australia’s oldest offshore oil and gas fields are to be decommissioned.

Oil producers encountering pockets of methane typically use flare stacks to burn off the vented gas. However, winds blowing across conventional open flame burners often result in 40% or more of the methane escaping into the air.
