U.S. Upstream Partnership Unveils New Natural Gas Flaring Program Focused on Reduction, Best Practices
The U.S. oil and gas industry faced a unique set of challenges this year but it did not deter the Environmental Partnership from making strides to reduce natural gas flaring in upstream operations.
The 80-plus members, which together represent more than 70% of total oil and gas production in the Lower 48, launched its latest performance program to expand on their core mission to reduce gas flaring. The group, which recently added midstream operators, encourages companies of all sizes to join.
Members share information on best practices, advance technologies and foster collaboration to reduce emissions and collect data to help minimize flaring.
