This paper proposes a shift in the timing of risk modeling to much further back within the job lifecycle, recognizing each function’s role in the mitigation of risk.
This article from the SPE Methane Technical Section features Arvind Ravikumar of the University of Texas at Austin and focuses on how the Energy Emissions Modeling and Data Lab is integrating satellite observations, facility-level measurements, operational data, and emissions inventories into more credible methane accounting for oil and gas systems.
The firm’s latest analysis puts the bulk of the blame on a fragmented supply chain.

The organization, formerly known as the Oil and Gas Technology Centre, will run its Open Innovation Programme starting on 16 March, focusing on seven technology areas. -
A new generation of detectors will be many times better at tracking discharges of the dangerous greenhouse gas.

Storing captured carbon requires a receptacle, and existing reservoirs are just the thing. But which ones?
-
Oil producers encountering pockets of methane typically use flare stacks to burn off the vented gas. However, winds blowing across conventional open flame burners often result in 40% or more of the methane escaping into the air.
-
UK offshore oil and gas producers are moving closer to the region's goal of achieving zero routine flaring by 2030.
