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.

Among other things, Microsoft is making it possible for Exxon to analyze reams of oilfield data. Amazon is helping drillers run simulations to maximize how much oil they can pump from existing wells.
-
Airborne emissions surveys of offshore oil and gas facilities are not as common as those done onshore. A recent study suggests that needs to change.
-
Shell’s venture capital subsidiary has acquired Sprng Energy, one of India’s largest renewables platforms, thus tripling its operating wind and solar power assets.
