ESG efforts paying off as U.S. emissions drop
Emission intensities in the U.S. upstream sector dropped by 15% since 2020, based on the latest 2022 EPA FLIGHT data released in early October. Absolute annual emissions fell from 97.2 to 88.5 million metric tonnes (Mt) CO2e over the same period, mainly driven by decreases in venting and flaring emissions. Enverus Intelligence Research© (EIR) attributes […]
Flaring volumes spike in the Permian
Satellite-detected flaring data for the Permian shows volumes increased by 22% in the 12 months through September, with July rates nearing the three-year highs last seen in December 2022. Flaring rates in the Midland went up to 1.7x that of the Delaware from May to July, with several upstream operators recording sharp increases during those […]
Navigating California’s Behind the Meter Revolution
Behind the meter (BTM) solar is a key factor in decreasing load in CAISO, especially in California where it has the most impact on annual demand. The state’s potential for nearly 195 GW of rooftop solar capacity exists, although its full realization is unlikely. The implementation of new building codes mandating rooftop solar installations is […]
Unlocking the depths: How seismic surveys drive oil and gas exploration
Seismic surveys are a vital tool in the oil and gas industry. Effective use of seismic surveys allows industry professionals to identify prospects, assess potential resources, reduce risk and even quantify reserves – in short, to make well-informed decisions that drive successful exploration efforts. Enverus Global Scout Network provides real-time insights into seismic survey activity across […]
Green hydrogen | Could do with a little help from the IRS
While we are still waiting for guidelines from the IRS regarding hydrogen incentives released with the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) last year, it is clear that supportive policy must be in place for green hydrogen to compete in existing hydrogen markets. Enverus Intelligence Research’s (EIR) analysis suggests that unsubsidized green hydrogen projects must secure power […]
The future of CCUS: Key opportunities and challenges in commercializing large-scale projects
Panel discussion with CCUS experts from Enverus EVOLVE Conference Introduction CCUS offers a promising solution to curb greenhouse gas emissions by capturing CO2 from industrial sources and power plants and storing it underground. CCUS has gained significant attention in recent years, and the business potential of CCUS has sparked interest in various industries and in […]
Was Vogtle 3 the beginning of a nuclear resurgence?
The Vogtle Unit 3 nuclear reactor began its commercial operations at the end of July. Based in Georgia, the facility will provide clean electricity to the southeast U.S. for likely longer than the next half-century. This marks the first U.S. deployment of Westinghouse’s AP1000 Generation III+ reactor. Its completion represents a significant milestone in the […]
Forecasting long-term power demand | Where do we go from here?
Historical factors and trends are becoming less descriptive of future power demand. The growing pace of electrification and electric vehicle (EV) adoption are changing the power demand dynamics. At the same time, more customers are installing behind-the-meter (BTM) generation to take control of their energy destiny, which lowers net demand for the grid. One must […]
