Methane emissions have long been a thorn in the side of oil and gas operators, service companies and government organizations alike. But Diversified Energy, an Appalachian Basin-based service company, is ahead of schedule on its emissions reduction goal simply by having a solid plan.
Teresa Odom, senior vice president for sustainability, explained there are a couple ways to measure emissions reductions. One is absolute emissions. The other is intensity — gross emissions measured against gross production. “That really gives us a better perspective as to the work that we’re doing in our operations to really cut out our emissions, as compared to what we’re producing at the same time.”
Diversified Energy Company plc (LON:DEC) is an independent energy company engaged in the production, marketing, transportation and retirement of primarily natural gas and natural gas liquids related to its U.S. onshore upstream and midstream assets.
