Fellow Presents: Methane Emissions in Abandoned Oil + Gas Wells, Data to Date

There is significant buzz currently around both orphan wells and methane emissions from abandoned oil and gas wells. This conversation will highlight on behalf of operators, what data exists in the public space and how it has been interpreted to date by parties outside of our industry. The intent is to level-set industry nomenclature and existing scientific datasets, discuss their implications and limitations, and highlight what conclusions may or may not yet be drawn. When partnered transparently with scientists addressing the topic on behalf of interested parties, we may begin to build a bridge dedicated to positive solutions.
