#Methane gas leak [and FIRE] in #WascoCA under control
by: Jacqueline Gutierrez
Posted: Jan 23, 2026BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KGET) — "A methane gas leak that prompted an evacuation in Wasco is now under control, according to the Kern County Fire Department.
"A methane gas well caught fire in a remote area around 9:30 a.m. in Wasco near Palm Avenue and Phillips Road. An evacuation order was issued for a half mile radius, according to #Genasys.
"Officials say they were able to extinguish the fire, the leak is no longer active and the evacuation order has been lifted.
"Events leading up to the fire and gas leak are not immediately known."

Satellite Images Reveal #MegaLeaks of Potent Greenhouse Gas
UCLA's #StopMethaneProject ranked the 25 oil and gas sites with the largest methane emissions rates worldwide.
By Ellyn Lapointe
Published March 18, 2026"Researchers with the Stop Methane Project at the University of California, Los Angeles, used data from #CarbonMapper—a non-profit that uses remote sensing technology to pinpoint and quantify methane emissions—to rank these mega-leaks. They’re spread across a small handful of countries, including the #US, with the majority in #Turkmenistan. A whopping 15 of the 25 largest leaks are concentrated in this #authoritarian state."

Feds Are Downplaying #MethaneLeaks in America’s Biggest #OilField, Satellite Data Suggests
A report found #MethaneEmissions in the #PermianBasin to be nearly four times higher than #EPA estimates. A senator wants an explanation.
By Ellyn Lapointe
Published March 20, 2026"#FossilFuel extraction is a known source of #methane leaks, releasing large amounts of this potent #GreenhouseGas into the atmosphere. Yet the Environmental Protection Agency appears to be drastically underreporting emissions from the nation’s largest oil-producing region.
"Nearly half of U.S. oil comes from the Permian Basin in West #Texas and southeastern #NewMexico. The region generates more than $100 billion annually for the U.S. economy, and apparently, a whole lot of methane, too. A recent report from #MethaneSAT—a methane-sensing satellite that observed Earth from March 2024 to June 2025—found emissions from the Permian Basin to be nearly four times higher than the EPA’s official estimates."

#Colorado’s #OilAndGas industry is vastly underestimating #methane emissions
Jennifer Oldham
Thu, February 26, 2026 at 6:00 AM ESTExcerpt: "A unique aerial measurement campaign found that emission inventories compiled by energy companies to account for planet-warming methane leaking from equipment on Colorado oil and gas production sites undercount such #pollutants by at least two times.
"Results from the $3.25 million project, led by a team of university researchers and the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, provided officials for the first time with a more complete picture of the invisible pollutant emitted from well pads. #FossilFuel extraction is the state’s second-largest source of methane pollution, which has a global warming potential roughly 80 times that of carbon dioxide during a 20-year period."

"Results from the $3.25 million project, led by a team of university researchers and the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, provided officials for the first time with a more complete picture of the invisible pollutant emitted from well pads. #FossilFuel extraction is the state’s second-largest source of methane pollution, which has a global warming potential roughly 80 times that of carbon dioxide during a 20-year period."
