O&G Group’s Annual Report Shows Production Up, Emissions Down

America’s natural gas and oil industry announced “a landmark partnership” in late 2017 called The Environmental Partnership to “accelerate improvements to environmental performance in operations across the country” for lowering methane emissions (see NatGas, Oil Industry Partnership to Accelerate Methane Reductions). The group, which includes most Marcellus/Utica drillers and pipeline companies, just released its sixth annual report (below) demonstrating that the U.S. oil and natural gas industry’s actions in reducing methane emissions are working. The O&G industry's methane emissions dropped 37% across all U.S. onshore production regions between 2015 and 2022, even as oil and natural gas production hit record highs each year.
