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.

The oil giant launched its Bakken crypto pilot in January 2021 and now is considering expanding it to Nigeria, Argentina, Guyana, and Germany, according to people familiar with the matter. -
Is it possible for an extractive industry like oil and gas to not only improve efficiency and reduce negative impacts, but also leave operations sites and surrounding areas in a better state than they were found? Much of the public debate revolves around climate change, but measures of ecosystem resilience are dropping precipitously. Why should we care?

The newbuild vessel will be used in partnership with Kirby Offshore Wind on the Empire wind farm off New York.
-
An analysis by researchers from Stanford University found leaks of methane from oil and gas drilling in the Permian Basin were many times higher than government estimates.
-
This paper presents the development and test of a method to predict upstream events that could lead to flaring, applying an integrated framework using machine-learning and big-data analytics.
-
The DOI guidance explains how states can apply for the first $775 million in grant funding available this year under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to create jobs cleaning up polluted and unsafe orphaned oil and gas wellsites across the country.
-
The company uses unmanned aerial vehicles to measure methane offshore.
-
Research conducted by Rystad Energy indicates that spending on carbon capture and storage will quadruple in the next 3 years.
-
Higher bonding amounts and an expanded orphaned well program will fund the cleanup of thousands of aging sites.
