While Uzbekistan has seen a significant drop in flaring, methane leaks from deteriorating infrastructure continue to reveal themselves to satellites in space.
The department announced it plans to combine the Bureau of Offshore Energy Management and the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement into the Marine Minerals Administration.
While some idle wells may be brought back into production, many will be plugged and abandoned. This paper considers repurposing certain idle oil and gas wells by using their empty steel casing for the disposal of nuclear waste.

Oil and gas producers in Europe commit to reporting emissions, but major US firms do not. -
A system was designed to extend the offshore wind-energy concept from the power grid to a subsea field-development application. The system integrates a floating foundation with a wind-turbine generator, with all the required utilities hosted directly onboard the same floater.

The practice of burning off natural gas is relatively rare in Colorado, but tough rules on flaring and venting may help the state meet greenhouse gas reduction goals.

Canada’s methane emissions from the oil and gas sector in Alberta and Saskatchewan are almost twice as high as had been previously reported, according to a new study by federal government scientists.
-
We can long for things to return to "normal," and they may to some extent. But the changes in our culture that the pandemic brought will have a lasting impact.
-
This paper presents a ubiquitous sensing network that has been developed, tested, and piloted at several oil and gas facilities as well as at an in-house simulated well site. The system integrates wireless methane sensor nodes, weather sensors, and other edge devices for autonomous operation.
-
The oilfield service company said it expects to set emissions-reduction targets by next year to meet the goals of the Paris Accord.
-
The International Association of Oil and Gas Producers developed its Process Safety Fundamentals report to support companies as they seek to reduce, and ultimately eliminate, severe and fatal process-safety events.
