Emission management
This paper presents a flexible, highly cost- and energy-efficient method of gas separation and CO₂ capture from many different gas mixtures with a large range of CO₂ concentrations.
Emissions management covers a wide array of topics such as carbon capture, use, and storage; emissions monitoring; flare management; methods to improve operational efficiency; carbon accounting; and the effect of emissions management on global and local economics. The papers published in the past year span all these subcategories.
This study explores the carbon-capture and mineralization potential of ultramafic rock powders when exposed to flue gases generated from combustion of crude oil and mesquite-derived charcoal.

A new study finds that, of the roughly 15 million tonnes of methane coming from onshore oil and gas activities in the continental US annually, 70% comes from smaller, dispersed sources emitting less than 100 kg of methane per hour and 30% of emissions are from sites releasing less than 10 kg per hour. -
This article explores three key themes for the oil and gas sector: the evolution of methane regulation at the state and federal levels, a preliminary forecast of why and how methane regulation will continue, and practical ways the oil and gas sector can prepare for enhanced enforcement scrutiny.

Greenhouse gases are woven into every stage of a well’s life, which presents challenges that demand creative solutions that do not require too much capital.
-
The energy world is rapidly changing. The pressure to address climate change, ensure reliable energy supplies, and manage costs is greater than ever.
-
The analysis found that the decline in Permian Basin methane emissions equaled the annual carbon emissions avoided by every electric vehicle in the US.
-
The funding, aimed to help small operators, builds on nearly 100 cross-government actions designed to sharply reduce methane pollution.
-
Texas regulators are taking public comment about how they should implement an EPA rule to reduce methane leaks from the oil and gas industry.
-
This paper serves as a comprehensive overview of greenhouse-gas emission source data visibility in oil and gas production operations.
-
The drilling contractor is spending big to deploy natural-gas-powered microgrids and battery storage.

The upstream oil and gas sector alone could cut as much as 4% of global greenhouse-gas emissions, according to a report from McKinsey. But this will take worldwide cooperation among industry players and capital investors.
