🌊Protected areas in the North Sea were introduced to restore nature. So why allow seabed drilling for offshore CO2 storage that will likely pose risks to harbour porpoises and other whales and dolphins? We need to stop this kind of backwards step. Read the full story here👉https://ow.ly/1Xu150U7Y2K

Methane is over 25 times more effective than carbon dioxide at trapping heat in the atmosphere over a 100-year period. • Short-Term Impact: Over a 20-year period, methane is approximately 84 times more potent than CO₂. Climate Change Acceleration: • Temperature Rise: Increased methane emissions contribute to the acceleration of global temperature rise. • Extreme Weather: The warming effect can lead to more frequent and severe weather events, such as hurricanes, droughts, and heatwaves. • Habitat Disruption: Climate change can disrupt ecosystems, affecting plant and animal species and potentially leading to loss of biodiversity. • Ocean Acidification: Increased CO₂ from associated processes can lead to ocean acidification, affecting marine life. Human Health: • Air Quality: Methane emissions can contribute to the formation of ground-level ozone, which can cause respiratory problems and other health issues. • Heat-Related Illnesses: Rising temperatures can increase the incidence of heat-related illnesses and deaths.

For those wanting to ban fracking, I have some questions and want to see if you have really thought this through. Please read the attached substance post for why banning fracking isn't the idea you thought it was. #fracking https://lnkd.in/gBDsrhsz

"We are facing a methane emergency. There are plenty of loopholes in the regulations requiring oil and gas producers to eliminate methane emissions." An analysis of the industry's own data reveals that only 6% of the methane gas released into our atmosphere comes from actual leaks, with the remainder coming from intentional releases. Therefore, it is more accurate to refer to these as "methane gas releases." While the industry prefers the term "leaks," the facts indicate that most methane pollution from the U.S. oil and gas sector is due to intentional venting and flaring, which are standard practices in oil field operations rather than accidents. Sharon Wilson and Justin Mikulka explain why those methane “leaks” are not accidents Watch OilFields Witness's video titled "WTG-Northern Permian Midstream Tank Venting (June 4th, 2024)" https://lnkd.in/eFwrQ2jH Climate & Capital Media S&P Global, Reuters , The Guardian, New Scientist, Ceres, Inc., Inside Climate News The World Bank #climatechange #climatechangenews #climate #climatenews #climatereporting #climatedata #climatereport #climateinvesting #climateeconomy #climatefinace #climatescience #climateeducation #climatecompliance #esg #esgnews #esgreport #esgdata #esgreporting #esginvesting #esgfinance #esgeconomy #economy #investing #finance #greeninvesting #greeneconomy #greenfinance #greennews #jobs #jobnews #jobreport #linkedinjobs #usa #biden #presidentbiden #2024election #linkedin #linkedinnews #methane #methanepollution #methaneproduction #methaneleaks #oilandgas #oilandgasindustry #oilandgaspollution #pollution

Offshore CO2 operations will be happening this decade and our team at Noble Corporation are here to make it happen. Check out this article by Offshore magazine where Jens Hedegaard and myself share how our industry is tackling the challenges of handling supercritical CO2 reservoirs and enabling the future of #OffshoreCCS.

We've heard plenty of evidence that U.S. operators are striving to drill more footage per well to maximize oil production, and World Oil research indicates both goals are being achieved #oilproduction #oildrilling #WorldOil Read more: https://ow.ly/tTqs50U4Ako

Hydraulic fracturing (more commonly known as fracking) may have become popular in the early 2000s, but the practice actually traces its roots back to before the American Civil War. More than 150 years later, the fracking boom is alive and well and accounts for 79 percent of all natural gas produced in the U.S., to the detriment of the environment, public health, and efforts to reduce methane emissions. One of the most impactful ways states can address fracking is through environmental analyses, moratoriums, or full statewide bans. In this article for our Dashboard Digest series, we dive deeper into what fracking is, what are its risks, and how states can take action. Read the article:

Unlocking the Earth: Exploring Hydraulic Fracturing Did you know that hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, has transformed global energy production by tapping into previously inaccessible natural gas and oil reserves? While hailed as an energy revolution, fracking sparks debates worldwide. Some champion its role in boosting energy security and economic growth, while others voice concerns about environmental impacts and sustainability. Across the globe, opinions on fracking vary. From the shale fields of the United States to the policy halls of Europe, diverse perspectives shape regulatory approaches and public discourse. One thing is certain: hydraulic fracturing is a multifaceted issue that demands a thoughtful examination of its benefits, risks, and alternatives. 📽️ Video Source: Youtube by MarathonOilCorp Join the dialogue!
