University of Texas at Austin study measuring methane emissions released from natural gas production

Green Car Congress

A research team led by The University of Texas at Austin, and including engineering and environmental testing firms URS and Aerodyne Research, is conducting a major field study to measure methane emissions from natural gas production, about which little empirical data exist.

Study quantifies impact of oil and gas emissions on Denver’s ozone problem

Green Car Congress

The first peer-reviewed study to directly quantify how emissions from oil and natural gas (O&NG) activities influence summertime tropospheric ozone (O 3 ) pollution in the Colorado Front Range confirms that chemical vapors from oil and gas activities are a significant contributor to the region’s chronic ozone problem. McDuffie et al.

Study finds methane leaks from three large US natural gas fields in line with EPA estimates

Green Car Congress

We are beginning to get a sense of regional variation in methane emissions from natural gas production. The gas fields we studied for this paper produced about 20% of the natural gas in the United States, and more than half the shale gas, so this moves us closer to understanding methane leaks from US natural gas production.

Anadarko estimates net resources of 500M to 1.5B barrels oil equivalent in Colorado Wattenberg field

Green Car Congress

Based upon the early results of Anadarko’s program in the Wattenberg field, we are confident the liquids-rich Horizontal Niobrara and Codell opportunity provides a net resource potential of 500 million to 1.5 Net resources: 500 million - 1.5 Estimated ultimate recoveries (EURs): 300,000 - 600,000 BOE per well. billion BOE.

Satellite method provides insight into ozone-NOx-VOCs sensitivity for different locations

Green Car Congress

New NASA-funded research has devised a way to use satellite measurements of the precursor gases that contribute to ozone formation to differentiate among three different sets of conditions that lead to its production. This transition means that future NO x reductions will likely further decrease ozone production, said Jin.

How Engineers Can Help Protect Earth From Worsening Climate Change

Cars That Think

About 95 percent of food production relies on topsoil. Engineers and computer professionals can use them to help make buildings, energy production, farms, health care, and manufacturing greener. Canary uses high-fidelity spectroscopy-based methane detection and emissions quantification for the oil and gas sectors.
