Report: Industry Has Made Major Strides In Cutting Emissions

摘要

The oil and gas industry has succeeded in putting a dent in emissions of methane and volatile organic compounds (VOC), the Environmental Partnership said in its first annual report, released on July 30. The group, administered by the American Petroleum Institute (API), reported that more than 56 million equipment components-valves, flanges and connectors-were inspected at about 80,000 sites in 2018. The leak occurrence rate was 0.16%, meaning that fewer than two leaks were discovered for every 1,000 components inspected.
