Scientists measured methane emissions from offshore platforms in the Gulf of Mexico, finding that just 2% of sites were responsible for 20% of emissions.

In research managed by the Environmental Defense Fund and supported by OGCI, scientists measured methane emissions from offshore platforms in the Gulf of Mexico, finding that just 2% of sites were responsible for 20% of emissions. The research is intended to fill knowledge gaps and help oil and gas companies to reduce emissions in a more targeted way.
