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.
In a move tied to national security, a Trump-appointed committee voted to exempt oil and gas drilling in the Gulf of Mexico from Endangered Species Act requirements, marking the first such exemption in 3 decades.
Propelling a proposed CCS project from the drawing board to first carbon storage requires overcoming several hurdles.
