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.

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."

The #US’s first #lithium from #oilfield wastewater is coming this year
#Element3 just raised a fresh round of funding to launch the first US commercial lithium extraction plants, and it’s sourcing the lithium from #oil and #gas wastewater in #Texas. That’s a big deal because it means there will be a domestic lithium supply for #EV and battery storage within a few months.

#UKGovernment admits new #OilField approved unlawfully
James Cook
BBC Scotland editor
November 13, 2024"The UK government has admitted in court that the country's largest untapped oilfield, #Rosebank off #Shetland, was approved unlawfully.
"The move came during a case brought by #ClimateCampaigners against both Rosebank and the #JackdaGasField in the #NorthSea.
"At the Court of Session in Edinburgh Chris Pirie KC, for the government, accepted that assessments did not include 'the effects on climate of the combustion of oil and gas to be extracted from the fields.'
"Rosebank was given the green light on 27 September 2023 and Jackdaw on 1 June 2022, both by the previous #Conservative administration.
"As part of the consenting process, the government was required to consider #EnvironmentalImpact assessments about the fields.
"These took into account the impact on #ClimateChange of emissions caused by the process of extracting oil and gas but not of #GreenhouseGases which would be released when the #FossilFuels were eventually burned."
[...]
"The firms involved — #Shell, #Equinor, and #IthacaEnergy — say they should be allowed to carry on with drilling because permission was granted in good faith under the law as it was understood at the time."

Still want your fish & chips?
"An analysis by DeSmog shows that companies have been legally dumping toxic and #radioactive #oilfield waste into the #NorthSea for decades, with largely unknown consequences for a sensitive and beloved marine environment.
Drilling creates a particular type of toxic waste: #ProducedWater, a naturally salty fluid laden with carcinogens, heavy metals, and naturally occurring radioactive elements, that surges to the surface during drilling.."

Rosebank: MPs and peers urge Grant Shapps to block new oil field - BBC News
Grant Shapps is being urged in the "strongest possible terms" to block drilling at #Rosebank - the #UK's largest undeveloped #OilField. Wet
Fifty MPs and peers, from all major parties, have written to the #energy secretary to demand a rethink. -
#GretaThunberg travelled to the UK today to protest against the exploitation of the #Rosebank #oil field, off the coast of #Scotland.
Rosebank is almost 3 times the size of #Cambo - the #oilfield that people coming together have successfully stopped in 2021.The #UK #parliament has deferred debating the licensing of the #oilrig to after recess, Sept 4th. It is therefore perfect timing now for #climateaction & sign the #petition https://www.change.org/p/tell-the-uk-government-to-stop-new-oil-and-gas-fields?redirect=false #EndFossilFuels #stopRosebank

Study Identifies #Methane ‘Super-Emitters' in Largest #US #Oilfield
Fixing just the worst leaks in the #PermianBasin oilfield’s infrastructure could cut methane #emissions by 55 tons an hour, according to a study by #NASA, University of Arizona, and #ASU.
About half of the biggest sources of methane in the Basin oilfield are likely to be malfunctioning #oilfield equipment.Data from this study can be viewed and downloaded at the team’s data portal.
