Research shows that the US Mexican Gulf offshore area produces higher emissions than government reports suggest.

A group led by the University of Michigan discovered that the nation’s largest offshore fossil fuel production region has double the climate warming impact as official estimates by accurately measuring greenhouse gas emissions from an aircraft flying over the Gulf of Mexico.

Oil and gas production in the Gulf of Mexico is belching out significantly higher levels of potent, planet-heating gas than previously thought, according to new research, which found the climate

Oil and gas industry methane emissions underestimated 2022-10-04

Flaring releases about five times more methane in the US than previously thought. The good news is that simple fixes can go a long way.

Methane is over 80 times more potent than carbon dioxide in terms of its global heating potential.

Methane emissions from natural gas and oil wells are usually burnt to convert the fugitive gas to carbon dioxide and water vapour. But new research shows the US fossil fuel industry has underestimated how much methane escapes.

A new study has suggested that offshore oil and gas production in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico has substantially higher methane emissions than those from typica...

Using airborne sensors that see methane in the air, Stanford researchers say leaks are more worrisome than thought, but hope lies in the sensing technology itself.
