More than three-fourths of all oil and gas production in the US Gulf of Mexico has a lower greenhouse gas (GHG) intensity than the basin-wide average, according to a new S&P Global Commodity Insights analysis. For comparison, the GHG intensity range for 99% total 2021 production across the North Sea study area extends to c.

Shale oil production generates greenhouse gas emissions at levels similar to conventional crude oil production, according to a pair of new studies released by the US Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory. These are shale formations with low permeability and must be hydraulically fractured to produce oil and gas.

The spill is a light crude oil with a low wax content (API-36). Shell said that is continuing work to stop the oil remaining in the flowline from leaking, and estimates that the current rate of leaking is less than 5 barrels a day. Shell estimates that volume on the surface, which changes from day to day, is about one tonne (approx.

Growth of production of Canadian oil sands. The Canadian oil sands are now poised to become the number one source of US crude oil imports in 2010, according to new research from the IHS CERA Canadian Oil Sands Dialogue. Also certain fields in the Gulf of Mexico and the Middle East have comparable GHG emissions. —“The

Comparison of the percent differential for WTW (well-to-wheel) GHGs from gasoline produced from WCSB oil sands using different production processes relative to gasoline produced from reference crudes. The proposed Project is not likely to impact the amount of crude oil produced from the oil sands. Click to enlarge.
