Emission management
EQT is benchmarking its way to basin-leading productivity and relying on partnerships and new technology to turn KPIs into operational reality.
This article from the SPE Sustainable Development Technical Section (SDTS) explores how the next phase of methane performance will be defined less by pledges and more by measurement, response, and verifiable results.
While Uzbekistan has seen a significant drop in flaring, methane leaks from deteriorating infrastructure continue to reveal themselves to satellites in space.
-
Devon Energy announced that it plans to lower detectable emissions at its US production sites by at least 12.5% in 6 years. -
Oilfield flares are a bright indicator of rapidly rising oil production that exceeds pipeline capacity. And it raises the question: Why are oil companies in such a hurry?
-
Emissions of methane from the industrial sector have been vastly underestimated, researchers from Cornell University and the Environmental Defense Fund have found.
-
The US Environmental Protection Agency recently finalized a voluntary disclosure program for new owners of upstream oil and gas facilities designed to encourage them to find, correct, and self-report violations of the Clean Air Act, in particular those associated with emissions from storage vessels.
-
America’s hottest oil patch is producing so much natural gas that, by the end of last year, producers were burning off more than enough of the fuel to meet residential demand across the whole of Texas.
-
A wave of satellites set to orbit the Earth will be able to pinpoint producers of greenhouse gases, right down to an individual leak at an oil rig.
-
A new report from the Environmental Defense Fund and the Environmental Council of the States Shale Caucus recommends a new framework for approving technologies and methodologies.
-
The new satellite will build on the success of the company's demonstration satellite Claire, which has performed over 2,500 observations of oil and gas facilities as well as other natural and industrial sources of carbon dioxide and methane.
-
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.
-
A recent study of oil and gas methane emissions on the Navajo Nation reveals companies operating on tribal lands pollute 65% more than the national average, wasting millions in tribal resources every year and underscoring the opportunity for tribal leaders to reduce emissions.
