Oil & gas pollution is everywhere but it's invisible like germs. I make it visible. It is causing the climate crisis. I show their dirty secrets and expose their fraud and lies. They sue me to shut me up but I win. 5th gen Texan, hate football.

One reason there is a climate crisis is because oil and gas pollution is invisible. If you could see it with your bare eyes, spewing out from everywhere, you would stop it.
At @oilfieldwitness.bsky.social we make the invisible visible.

The quote re “if you zero out methane leaks” is absurd as this is nowhere near where the industry is.
Also, using solely “leaks” implies accidental when (a) much is purposefully released and (b) much of the industry does little to address “leakage”.

When I wrote a book about oil train regulations I got to see how regulations were made.
So none of the info in this document about the EU methane regulations surprises me but if the oil and gas companies are in on closed door meetings with regulators, it's unlikely we get real regs.

The EU recently announced new details on their approach to figuring out how to import US LNG that complies with their regulatory limits for methane emissions. Our team spent the week putting together this overview. We have little confidence the proposed solutions will deliver the promised results.

New Mexico has "banned" routine flaring. Sounds great, right?
How come we can see the flaring from space then?
They produce oil in California, Colorado, Wyoming, etc. Don't see any flaring there do you?
But is is banned in New Mexico. So there is that.

It makes economic sense for the operators to flare or just vent.
