Concern over climate change has brought increased focus on methane and greenhouse gas emissions associated with oil and gas production. These emissions, especially methane emissions, can diminish the greenhouse gas benefits of using gas in place of coal and represent a significant source of climate pollution.
The 2023 Oil & Gas Benchmarking Report is a collaborative effort using publicly available data to develop comparable metrics that highlight the GHG performance of onshore oil and gas producers in the U.S. We’ll present the key findings of the report during this webinar.
During this webinar, participants:
Identified that emissions intensity varies even between similarly sized operators in the same geographic area, largely due to different equipment choices and operational practices.
Recognized where methane emissions come from, how oil and gas companies can reduce emissions, and what investors can do to push them.
Explained the need for oil and gas companies to take responsibility for full emissions disclosure, by improving direct methane measurement.
Discovered the use of the online data tool.
