Emission management
Emissions management remains an active and crucial research area in the oil and gas industry. It is a broad research category spanning several different directions. The papers of the past year demonstrate the rich diversity of ideas and analytical techniques used for tackling different research questions in this space.
This paper focuses on developing a model that can be used in an automated, end-to-end flare-smoke detection, alert, and distribution-control solution that leverages existing flare closed-circuit television cameras at manufacturing facilities.
This study recommends favoring the combustion of ammonia over hydrogen for the purpose of reducing CO₂ and nitrogen emissions.

Iraq, which is second only to Russia in terms of gas flaring, is nearing an agreement with Total to implement dual-energy megaprojects to capture that gas and wean the country away from sanctioned Iranian gas and electricity imports. Solar power will play a major role. -
At least a dozen satellites are being built to orbit the Earth in search of methane leaks. They will be measuring methane flows, and some will be able to identify the source down to the facility level.
-
A coalition of oil and gas trade groups says it aims to end routine flaring by 2030 as the Texas Railroad Commission indicates it will crack down on the practice.
-
Introduction of hydrogen blends into the liquefaction process is designed to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions.
-
Russia flares more associated gas from oil production than any other country on the planet. But Russian major Gazprom Neft may have found an ecofriendly alternative: turning flare gas in West Siberia into electricity to fuel the mining of cryptocurrency.
-
The Texas oil and gas company will trim its carbon footprint in the coming years by building on a low-carbon investment that already totals more than $10 billion.
-
The first seminar looks at carbon capture, utilization, and storage as a way to achieve net-zero emissions. The second looks at the Methane Guiding Principles and its efforts to address methane throughout the natural gas supply chain.
-
Oil and gas producers in Europe commit to reporting emissions, but major US firms do not.
-
Canada’s methane emissions from the oil and gas sector in Alberta and Saskatchewan are almost twice as high as had been previously reported, according to a new study by federal government scientists.
-
The oilfield service company said it expects to set emissions-reduction targets by next year to meet the goals of the Paris Accord.
