Oil and natural gas producers continue to make emissions reduction advancements, including reducing flare intensity despite record production, according to the Environmental Partnership’s latest annual report.
Last year, American companies flared and vented the lowest volume of natural gas in almost two decades. The U.S. Energy Information Administration preliminary estimate for 2023 reports volumes of vented or flared gas declined to .5 percent of gross withdrawals, demonstrating how industry best practices have worked to keep natural gas in the pipes and not going up the stack.
