Emission management
The new report shows that the intensity of methane emissions in the Permian Basin declined by more than half over 2 years.
A new paper from researchers at Heriot-Watt University outlines key advances in chemistry that are driving the push in carbon capture technology.
The nonprofit said the satellite likely is unrecoverable but that it will continue to analyze the data it had collected.

Using an underwater remotely operated vehicle, activists on board the Greenpeace ship Esperanza documented a large methane leak in the North Sea caused by a major blowout during an oil drilling operation 30 years ago. -
Reported greenhouse-gas emissions from Canada’s oil patch have more than doubled in the year’s first half as changes to how they are measured revealed a more extensive picture of environmental damage, previously unreported industry data show.

Although based on “intensity” and not “absolute” emissions, oil giants say it’s a step toward net-zero goals for 2050.

The oil and gas industry is not the largest emitter of methane, but addressing the emissions still needs to be a priority, a recent panel said. Incentivizing lower emissions, following best practices, and creating transparency are key to bringing about this change.

Last fall, European Space Agency satellites detected huge plumes of methane leaking from the Yamal pipeline that carries natural gas from Siberia to Europe. Energy consultancy Kayrros estimated one leak was spewing out 93 tonnes of methane every hour.
-
The UK’s offshore oil and gas industry has committed to halving operational emissions in the next decade, confirming its pathway to becoming a net-zero emissions basin by 2050.
-
Recommendations include changes to current forms and reports used to track flaring.
