The Oil and Gas Climate Initiative (OGCI) and nonprofit Carbon Mapper announced they are teaming up to launch a new collaboration aimed at accelerating practical and measurable reductions in methane emissions from the oil and gas industry.
The tools to reduce flaring are well within reach, but the results will depend on a long-term commitment by operators and governments.
Geothermal development is gaining steam and entering a transformative era, driven by breakthroughs in adapting and improving on engineering, drilling, completion, and production technologies to the efficient extraction of heat from the Earth.

A new type of skid-mounted production facility was deployed on a pad in Weld County, Colorado, and demonstrated elimination of emissions, improved operational efficiency, and an increased crude yield of 11.3%. -
The funding is aimed at helping connect sources of carbon dioxide to locations for geologic storage and conversion through multiple transport modes.
-
The research could improve climate models and inform carbon sequestration.

Ipieca, together with the International Association of Oil and Gas Producers and the Oil and Gas Climate Initiative, released the guide to help operators select and deploy methane detection technologies.
-
Large methane emissions occur from a wide variety of oil and gas industry sites with no discernable patterns, thus requiring methods to monitor for these releases throughout the production chain. This paper describes a continuous monitoring system based on the Internet of Things using methane concentration sensors permanently deployed at facilities and connected to a…

The government is offering its first major funding for the unexplored energy source.
-
The administration will cancel oil and gas leases in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and set aside more than half of the National Petroleum Reserve.
-
Government and industry leaders support the oil and gas industry's role in the energy transition.
-
The lease auction aims to advance the president’s commitment to deploy 30 GW of offshore wind energy by 2030.
-
The two main value drivers of the project were to minimize health, safety, and environmental effects and reduce greenhouse-gas emissions in line with the company’s goal of moving toward net zero by 2050 and to maximize hydrocarbon recovery.
