                    Thousands of satellite images were scrutinized by monitoring company Kayrros to identify ultra-emitters of methane, greenhouse-gas sources that cannot be detected by terrestrial monitors. Up to 150 methane plumes a month were seen, some spreading for hundreds of kilometers.

                    The study assessed the CO2 footprint and NO2 emissions for different drill-cuttings treatment alternatives. The values were then used to create an emissions calculator that can be applied to projects to clarify the actual potential for emissions reduction within the drilling-waste-management process.
