Benchmarking Methane and Other GHG Emissions

Concern over climate change has brought increased focus on greenhouse gas emissions caused by oil and gas production. In particular, methane emissions represent a significant source of pollution.
The 2024 Oil & Gas Benchmarking report is a collaborative effort by Ceres, the Clean Air Task Force and ERM, using publicly available data to develop comparable metrics that highlight the GHG performance of onshore oil and gas producers in the U.S. Join us to explore the key findings of this report.
During this webinar, participants will:
- Identify that emissions intensity varies even between similarly sized oil and gas operators in the same geographic area, largely due to different equipment choices and operational practices.
- Recognize that emissions intensity by U.S. oil and gas producers has declined in response to the implementation of 2016 federal standards and strong state regulations.
- Analyze where emissions come from, how oil and gas companies can reduce emissions, and what investors can do to push them.
- Explain the need for oil and gas companies to take responsibility for full emissions disclosure, by improving direct methane measurement.
- Discover the use of the online data tool.
