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.

Tracking down fugitive emissions has traditionally relied on small-scale detection efforts. This new project seeks to buck the trend by covering the Permian Basin with sensors. -
Video shows a substantial share of oil and gas flares are unlit or faulty, revealing a previously overlooked methane source that could turn out to be one of the region’s biggest.

Enough gas to supply 7 million homes is leaking into the atmosphere above oil fields in Texas and New Mexico, the largest plume of climate-change-driving methane pollution ever recorded over a US oil field, a new study from Harvard University and Environmental Defense Fund shows.
-
The combined effect of COVID-19 and an ongoing oil price war has ushered in one of the worst downturns for the energy industry in modern history. Yet, a bright side is shining through; flaring levels in the Permian Basin have fallen sharply and will continue to decline, a Rystad Energy report shows.

Methane, a powerful greenhouse gas, is leaking from industry sites at rates equivalent to the annual carbon emissions of France and Germany combined, a new analysis using satellite data shows.
-
A system proposed by researchers at the University of California, Santa Barbara, uses hyperspectral imaging and machine learning to detect the specific wavelength of methane emissions.
-
The largest oil and gas major in the US is calling for tighter rules around methane monitoring, wellhead venting, and the replacement of equipment components with “high-leak potential.”
