The agency’s administrator said the program “does nothing to improve air quality.”
The project is expected to recover up to 300 MMscf/D of flared gas. Plans call for the recovered gas to be converted into treated dry gas, liquefied petroleum gas, and condensate for domestic use and export.
This research aims to harness the advanced capabilities of artificial intelligence, specifically deep learning and large language models, to develop a comprehensive system for detecting and explaining oil spills.

Biological-based emissions control has promising advantages such as the potential for a low carbon footprint, low secondary pollutants such as NOx and SOx, lower energy demands, and lower cost.
-
An oil spill that has been quietly leaking millions of barrels into the Gulf of Mexico has gone unplugged for so long that it now verges on becoming one of the worst offshore disasters in US history.

Proposed changes would modify EPA's August 2016 final rule, "Oil and Natural Gas Sector: Emission Standards for New, Reconstructed, and Modified Sources." The proposal has been submitted for publication to the Federal Register. Following that publication, the EPA will accept comments for 60 days.
