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 analysis found that the decline in Permian Basin methane emissions equaled the annual carbon emissions avoided by every electric vehicle in the US. -
The funding, aimed to help small operators, builds on nearly 100 cross-government actions designed to sharply reduce methane pollution.
-
The Interior Department has now approved more than 19 GW of offshore wind energy.
-
The money from the Investing in America agenda will be used for plugging, remediating, and reclaiming orphaned oil and gas wells in national parks, national forests, and national wildlife refuges.
-
The modular facility will process associated gas to produce electricity for up to 200,000 households in the Basra region.
-
The decision invokes a 1953 law that will make it difficult for incoming US President Donald Trump to reverse.

In this paper, a dynamic multiphase-flow simulator is used to evaluate the effectiveness and suitability of using a subsea capping stack to respond to a CO₂ well blowout.
-
The objective of this paper is to outline the importance of new standards for studying hydraulic sealability of barrier materials, with an emphasis on interface analysis.
-
The oil and gas industry must balance global energy demands with stricter environmental regulations, particularly in drilling, where risks and complexities are higher. Innovative technologies, like those used in this stuck-pipe scenario offshore Azerbaijan, are key to overcoming these challenges and improving safety, speed, and efficiency.
-
The institute is tasked with accelerating the deployment and scaling of cost-effective climate technology.
