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.

The COVID-19 pandemic caused a major disruption to industry training programs and university geoscience courses as travel restrictions and lockdowns created the need for digital alternatives. Although virtual field trips had been gaining traction before the pandemic, the sudden need to replace physical field activities has driven a rising interest to allow geologists … -
The paper provides an approach to mitigating the adverse effects of mercury found in production fields, including treatment-facility requirements and suitable technologies for production fields and onshore facilities.

The assumption of lower emissions from natural gas only holds true when the methane leaks and flaring are addressed. Mitigation of methane emissions offers an opportunity for the oil and gas industry to drastically reduce overall emissions that are typically reported on a CO2-equivalent basis. Some producers opt to showcase their good performance via voluntary certifi…
