The newly named MTS brings together the full methane ecosystem, end to end—connecting technology, data, operations, and assurance across upstream, midstream, and beyond.
Monitoring on the ground is helping the industry shift from best estimates to hard data so it can bring the true emissions profile into focus.
Ongoing seismicity concerns and orphan well risks are pushing operators and regulators to explore alternatives for managing produced water.

In August 2020, scientists spent 10 days doing airborne surveys of more than 50 platforms in the Gulf of Mexico. Their results revealed a climate impact twice as large as that estimated by government inventories. -
Offshore workers engaged in rotating shift work may face an increased risk of prostate cancer, according to the results of a study from the University of Oslo and the Cancer Registry of Norway.
-
The Gas Growth Integrated Project will capture and supply flare gas to generate electricity and treat seawater to manage pressure in oil wells in Iraq’s Basra region.
-
This paper’s proposal is based on the need to communicate commands, requests, affirmations, and more with precision and accuracy. Creating an architecture for rig communications is essential for the next generation of engineers and operators to work more safely and more efficiently.
-
A recent report released from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine shows improvement in measurement and management of systemic risk in Gulf of Mexico oil and gas operations but adds that progress lags in some areas.
-
A study from the International Association of Oil and Gas Producers shows the value of eye-tracking in well control operations.
-
The coupled geomechanical and dynamic flow simulation work flow described in this paper relies on a multidisciplinary approach to meet future peak gas demands and support clean-energy initiatives.
-
The technology and knowledge base of the E&P sector is poised to play a major role in the newer, lower-carbon energy economy.
-
The authors of this paper discuss Saudi Arabia’s progress in gas flaring, the measures the government has taken, and how operators have adapted.
-
The authors of this paper describe an initiative taken to measure baseline data for methane emission for gas-processing facilities and gas-transmission and regasification units by using accurate tools and methodologies for detection and quantification.
