Methane flare at oil and gas facility

Changing the methane game

How can we make near-zero methane emissions standard in the oil and gas industry? With transparent and comprehensive data. 

ALL METHANE ADDS UP

Fixing the big leaks isn’t enough. Solve the whole problem. 

Small, widespread sources account for at least 70% of methane emissions from oil and gas production. MethaneSAT sees what others don’t and provides the high-resolution data necessary to measure whether action is taken. 

Case in point: in the Permian, New Mexico’s regulated fields emit less than half the methane of unregulated Texas.
