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 urgency of methane emissions reduction in the oil and gas sector demands a strategic approach to change management. Success hinges on fostering a shift in industry mindset, where emissions reduction is embedded into operational design and decision-making rather than seen as a regulatory burden. -
A revised biological opinion determined that the endangered species could go extinct without new precautionary measures.
