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.
The oil and gas boom in the United States was made possible by the extensive credit afforded to drillers. Moody’s Investors Service downgraded the oil and gas sector on November 25 to a “negative” outlook because of falling oil prices. That begs the question; could a shakeout of the oil industry spark a broader financial crisis?
APG) has signed a license agreement with Trident Resources, LLC for the exclusive worldwide right to commercialize Trident’s proprietary Natural Gas Liquid (NGL) process technology. The new NGL process will be able to produce a premium quality natural gas capable of being used for both stationary and vehicular APG dual fuel applications.

The two projects selected—an existing power plant in NorthDakota and a new facility in California—will incorporate advanced technologies to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. The net result will be 90% removal of CO 2 from the treated flue gas, yielding 3,000 short tons per day (1,000,000 tons per year) of pipeline-quality CO 2.
The plant uses an integrated CO 2 scrubber/water gas shift (WGS) catalyst to capture more than 90% of the CO 2 emissions, while increasing the cost of electricity by less than 10 percent compared to a plant with no carbon capture. DOE share: $695,194; recipient share: $173,798; duration: 12 months). Air Products and Chemicals, Inc.
But with the crash in prices since mid-2014, the effect of the regulation has reversed: motorists are now effectively subsidizing the oil industry. Prices for light oil are set at $67 per barrel and natural gas prices fixed at $7.50 The higher prices they pay offer a huge lifeline for the oil industry. per million Btu (MMBtu).
The US farm sector is capable of producing a diverse complement of feedstocks to make the biofuels industry a truly national effort. An additional 4 billion gallons of advanced biofuels (defined by the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by at least 50%) by 2022 is also mandated. Regional contributions. 2.0% (mostly woody biomass).
The financial pages of Canadian newspapers have been full of headlines lately announcing the potential of two large shale oil fields in the Northwest Territories said to contain enough oil to rival the Bakken Formation of NorthDakota and Montana. enthused the Financial Post. “NEB The project was approved by the NEB in 2010.
Its high carbon-capture rate reduces the total amount of CO 2 emitted to the atmosphere to less than 10% of the emissions for power from a conventional coal plant, and less than 25% of those for power from a highly efficient, natural gas-fired plant, according to Summit. Combustion of the H 2 -rich fuel gas will produce water vapor.
Other companies—including Devon Energy, Chesapeake Energy, and Carrizo Oil & Gas—have also lifted predicted increases in output for 2015. In the Bakken, oil production actually increased by 1 percent in the month of March, a surprise development reported by the NorthDakotaIndustrial Commission.
Much of the US’ new abundant domestic oil and gas supply is being produced from unconventional resources—particularly light sweet crude oil from the Bakken shale in NorthDakota, as well as the Eagle Ford and Permian Basins in Texas. This rapid growth has also created challenges in moving crude oil to market.
EV share in California, today's EV leader, will hit 94 percent, while NorthDakota, which has the lowest EV adoption rate today, will reach 19 percent, J.D. Charging infrastructure in California drastically eclipses infrastructure in NorthDakota. By 2035, the firm expects the U.S. to reach 70 percent EV retail share.
The US Department of Energy (DOE) awarded nearly $34 million to 19 industry- and university-led research projects that will advance technology solutions to make clean hydrogen a more available and affordable fuel for electricity generation, industrial decarbonization, and transportation.

The NorthDakota Petroleum Council issued the following statement: Feeling pressure from consumers faced with high gas prices and trying to recover from the economic devastation of 2020, the Biden Administration is now urging OPEC+ to increase production to ensure competitive energy markets.
Despite the news that broke last month that Wyoming was considering banning EVs instead of gas vehicles as many other states have, Wyoming may be far less “anti-EV” than one would think. The State of Wyoming and the federal government are embattled over where the State should place electric vehicle infrastructure.
