Offshore oil and gas operations in the Gulf of Mexico are releasing far more climate-changing methane than official estimates show, according to a new study published Monday.

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.
Using data collected from aircraft in part, climate scientists found the additional methane coming from oil and gas platforms in the Gulf region raises their carbon intensity to twice as much as estimated by U.S. agencies like the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management.
Offshore oil and gas operations in the Gulf of Mexico give off much more methane emissions than official estimates, according to a study published Monday.
