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.

The oil and gas major has set aside $100 million to fund projects that will deliver new greenhouse gas emissions reductions in its upstream oil and gas operations. -
Flaring and emissions challenges have recently made news headlines around the world. The goal of this article is to engage you with this important topic by presenting a selection of recent SPE papers which address these challenges through various approaches.
-
Although the Environmental Defense Fund and ExxonMobil are not always aligned on certain important issues, the organizations are working together to understand and reduce methane emissions.
-
Chevron plans to set greenhouse gas emissions targets and tie executive compensation and rank-and-file bonuses to the reductions, the oil major said in its latest climate report.
-
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) present in crude oil can be released to the atmosphere from storage tanks, waste waters, and equipment leaks. A pilot-scale sequential biotrickling/biofiltration unit was designed and tested for removal of VOCs from a wastewater sump.
-
Drones will be just one of the tools that the service company uses in its drive toward net-zero carbon emissions.
-
Companies are bringing satellite monitoring to the unconventional oilfield—namely the Permian Basin—where they are training machine learning models to track and predict drilling and completions work.
-
The proposal would rollback requirements for testing and fixing fugitive methane leaks in oil and gas operations. It would save millions in regulatory costs, but the estimated increase in methane emissions is controversial.
-
Methane monitoring using improved methods is detecting more gas in the atmosphere, increasing the need for better ways to eliminate releases.
-
With the API and a multi-operator group passing separate programs aimed at reducing methane emissions, the discussions on what defines an acceptable level of regulation continues within the industry.
