The methane is leaking predominantly from the flares that occur when operators release gas directly into the atmosphere and set on fire, rather than capturing it. This methane leak is 60% higher than the average leakage rate, and is twice what the EPA had estimated, and is contributing substantially to climate change."

Using new satellite observations and atmospheric inverse modeling, we report methane emissions from the Permian Basin, which is among the world’s most prolific oil-producing regions and accounts for >30% of total U.S. oil production. Based on satellite measurements from May 2018 to March 2019, Per...
