With millions of wells having been drilled in the US since the beginning of the oil age, the land is pocked with old, unused wellbores. For most, repurposing is a pipe dream. Plugging is the best option.
This guest editorial examines how the most commonly used and cited methane emissions metric can create a misleading picture of upstream gas-handling performance for both the public and industry professionals.
Spain has granted permits covering a swath of the mountain range to Mantle8 for natural hydrogen and helium exploration a month after France granted the company similar permits.
