30 oil and gas infrastructure facilities in the Permian have been large methane emitters over the past 3 years, according to a new study. The super-emitters could save tens of millions of dollars by fixing their leaks. The EPA is looking to introduce new regulations to curb methane emissions. Over the past three years, 30 oil and gas infrastructure facilities in the Permian have been large methane emitters, data collected from airborne surveys by Carbon Mapper and the Environmental Defense Fund showed . The data collected from surveys conducted between 2019 and 2021 showed that 30 so-called “super-emitters” produce the same near-term climate pollution as around half a million passenger vehicles, the Environmental Defense Fund said. Those “super-emitters” account for less than .001% of the region’s oil and gas infrastructure, the surveys and studies found. Methane is a powerful greenhouse gas, second only to carbon dioxide in its overall […]
