Study: M-U Still Has the Lowest Methane Emissions of Any Basin

The Appalachian Methane Initiative (AMI) is a coalition of leading U.S. natural gas companies in the Marcellus/Utica, including Ascent Resources, CNX Resources, EQT Corporation, Expand Energy Corporation, MPLX, and Seneca Resources. AMI uses independent monitoring providers, technical consultants, and top-tier universities to monitor and track methane emissions in the M-U. Last Friday, the group released the findings of its 2025 basin-wide methane monitoring program (the second such study it has done). The report reconfirms that the Appalachian Basin (the M-U) has the lowest methane emissions intensity of any major oil and gas-producing basin in the United States.
