This guest editorial examines how the most commonly used and cited methane emissions metric can create a misleading picture of upstream gas-handling performance for both the public and industry professionals.
Spain has granted permits covering a swath of the mountain range to Mantle8 for natural hydrogen and helium exploration a month after France granted the company similar permits.
The US federal government is working to stymie offshore wind power, but proponents aren’t going quietly. Armed with data, they are taking on a sea of misinformation and hostility to defend the burgeoning resource in the US, while the rest of the world moves ahead briskly.

The volume reduction of naturally occurring radioactive material waste with indirectly heated vacuum distillation has been overlooked in research as a viable treatment option. This paper describes several key assessment factors that will allow a more detailed understanding of the benefits of that option. -
SponsoredThe oil and gas industry makes up 40% of all anthropogenic methane emissions because of leaks at the wellsite. Fortunately, the well pad is often where methane emissions are easiest to address through a mitigation strategy of optimized maintenance and process control—all enabled by instrumentation insight.
-
Heightened focus on methane emissions management spurs a new conceptual framework to aid in determining the duration of detected methane emissions, data that may be useful to stakeholders responsible for measurement-informed emission protocols.

The geothermal company will use organic Rankine cycle (ORC) technology, which does not require steam to generate electricity.

To meet the objective of balancing economic prosperity, energy security, and environmental protection, a natural gas gasification process within a downhole completion tool is proposed that converts methane wells into hydrogen production wells, while simultaneously capturing the process-generated carbon downhole and reinjecting the carbon dioxide into the surrounding g…

The updated joint development agreement allows the companies to carve out new markets while they complete pilot testing at a demonstration plant in the Netherlands.
-
The new rule aims to cut energy waste from venting, flaring, and leaks and is expected to help generate $50 million annually in additional natural gas royalty payments.
