Nearly 200 MMcf/d of the natural gas that ExxonMobil produces at Poker Lake, NM, in the Permian Basin have been independently certified for methane emissions management, the supermajor said Tuesday.

The certification from MiQ is the first by a company for its associated gas production from oil, ExxonMobil said. The certification process also is being expanded to other Lower 48 operations.

“This certification further validates the steps we have taken to reduce methane emissions, which is part of our plans to achieve net zero Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse emissions in our Permian Basin unconventional operations by 2030,” said ExxonMobil’s Tom Schuessler, senior vice president of unconventional.
