Emission management
The Oil and Gas Climate Initiative (OGCI) and nonprofit Carbon Mapper announced they are teaming up to launch a new collaboration aimed at accelerating practical and measurable reductions in methane emissions from the oil and gas industry.
The newly named MTS brings together the full methane ecosystem, end to end—connecting technology, data, operations, and assurance across upstream, midstream, and beyond.
Monitoring on the ground is helping the industry shift from best estimates to hard data so it can bring the true emissions profile into focus.

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.

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.

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.
