Emissions

The oil and natural gas industry is facing two huge challenges, improving competitiveness and managing a transition toward a low carbon future, which combined represent "quite a frightening cocktail if we do not manage them in a proper way," Statoil ASA's CEO said.

To improve competitiveness in the oil and gas industry, don't work separately, work together, Statoil ASA CEO Eldar Saetre said…

A report released Wednesday by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) shows methane emissions from natural gas production have fallen about 38% since 2005, but emissions from processing increased by about 38% since that year, and rose about 11% from gas transmission and storage sources.

Trace gas emissions and fine particulates are undergoing scrutiny at U.S. onshore production sites over the next two months to determine how air quality is affected.

Fueled by the unconventional onshore revolution, U.S. natural gas costs less, is safer and increasingly is more plentiful, according to the American Gas Association (AGA).

An industry-backed study of methane emissions from natural gas pipeline and storage infrastructure has found that the majority of measured emissions came from only a handful of the sites studied. This suggests that such emissions generally result from faulty equipment and are not endemic to natural gas infrastructure.
