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.

Leveraging its existing natural gas interests, plus renewables potential in Egypt and Mauritania, BP is now factoring in Africa to realize its global ambitions as a hydrogen producer. -
Barriers remain, but oil companies across the world are now in a position to reap big profits by capturing methane instead of flaring and venting it.
-
This device lets workers in noisy and windy environments hear through their bones without removing ear protection.
-
The Oil and Gas Climate Initiative says its members’ absolute upstream methane emissions were down 40% since 2017. That’s equivalent to taking more than 3 million cars off the road for a year.
-
Webinar will examine how human factors can help with implementing automation in the oil and gas industry.
-
In a 12-0 vote, the Los Angeles City Council approved an ordinance that will immediately ban new oil extraction and shut down existing operations within 20 years. The historic decision comes after years of complaints by residents about how pollution from nearby drilling has caused them health issues.
