Global Flaring Intensity by Country

Flaring intensity has reduced by c20% in the past quarter-century, from 0.25mcf/bbl and 12.5kg of CO2/bbl in the early 1990s to 0.2mcf/bbl and 10kg/bbl in 2021. However, total flaring has…

Flaring reduction: fire extinguishers?

Oil industry flaring

Controversies over oil industry flaring are re-accelerating, especially due to the methane slip from flares, now feared as high as 8% globally. The skew entails that more CO2e could be…

Oil industry CO2 per barrel?

CO2 emissions of commercializing an oil resource

We have constructed a simple model to estimate the CO2 emissions of commercialising an oil resource, as a function of a dozen input variables: such as flaring, methane leakage, gravity,…

Midstream opportunities in the energy transition?

…mitigating methane leaks and by building our more midstream infrastructure to reduce flaring, where as much as 8% of the methane may slip through the flares uncombusted. (10) Midstream companies…
