Working Toward Net Zero in Methane and GHG Venting
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), under the direction of President Biden, is proposing changes to the Clean Air Act, 40 CFR 60.
Saving Methane and the Planet with the Next Generation of Control...
With increasing concerns over climate change and prices of methane consistently on the rise, it is more important than ever to keep methane within the pipelines of oil and gas facilities.
Converting Methane Powered Actuators to Zero-Emitting Technology
What do successful organizations, large and small, have in common? When they are confronted with required changes to their operating systems, based on new governmental regulations, they have little recourse other than to find a solution.
BP Deploys Continuous Methane Measurement in O&G
BP announced it will deploy continuous measurement of methane emissions in its future oil and gas processing projects. Continuous measurement, including the use of such instruments as gas cloud imaging (GCI), will be introduced at all major BP projects worldwide.
Texas Researchers Revisit Methane Hydrates
Research from the University of Texas in Austin has shown that injecting air and carbon dioxide into methane ice deposits buried beneath the Gulf of Mexico could have the potential to unlock natural gas energy resources, while also trapping the carbon dioxide underground.The study was published in the journal Water Resources Research, which used computer models to simulate what would happen when mixtures of carbon dioxide and air were injected into deposits of methane hydrate, a water-rich, almost ice-like chemical compound that forms in high-pressure and low-temperature environments, like the Gulf of Mexico and the Arctic circle.
ExxonMobil targets reduced methane emissions
ExxonMobil has announced an enhanced program to reduce methane emissions from its facilities across the USA. The program is designed to prioritize actions at sites operated by its subsidiary, XTO Energy, and includes efforts to develop and deploy new, more efficient technologies to detect and reduce facility emissions.
ERA funding new technology to reduce emissions
Emissions Reduction Alberta (ERA) has committed funding to 12 innovative methane-reducing technology projects. The projects target methane emissions monitoring, detection and reduction in the oil and gas, power generation, agriculture and forestry sectors.
