by natural gas operations and has done research pointing to health effects from drilling, declined to directly critique the paper.
When EPA announced a push for additional regulation on methane emissions from new oil and
natural gas operations late last year, we said it looked like a solution in search of a problem — especially considering the agency's own data showing that since 2005 methane emissions from hydraulically fractured natural gas wells had fallen 79 percent.
There's much that impresses about hydraulic fracturing if you see it up close, which I did during a recent tour of Anadarko
Petroleum natural gas operations near Williamsport, Pa.: the technology, the company's highly skilled workers, the game - changing resource opportunities in the Marcellus Shale and more.
That's why David Doniger, senior attorney at the Natural Resources Defense Council, put forward a plan to restrict methane emissions from

natural gas operations across the Midwest.
The first study found that the San Juan Basin has been a major source of U.S. methane emissions as far back as 2003, with coalbed methane and
conventional natural gas operations largely to blame.
Last week, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg wrote a Washington Post opinion piece in favor of natural gas development in New York state and awarded a $ 6 million grant from his philanthropic organization to the Environmental Defense Fund for work to minimize adverse environmental impacts
from natural gas operations.

In 2007, for example, it divested
its natural gas operations into what is now Spectra Energy, and in 2012, it absorbed regional power producer Progress Energy.
EDF has been active in trying to quantify the amount of methane leaking from
natural gas operations.
Nevertheless, recent data from the two Cornell scientists and others indicate that within the next 20 years, methane will contribute 44 percent of the greenhouse gas load produced by the U.S. Of that portion, 17 percent will come from
all natural gas operations.
While oil and
natural gas operations may have taken something of a downturn in the state over the last five years, Wyoming is still, incontestably, coal country.

For use in oil and
natural gas operations, the camera is specifically designed and calibrated to «see» those wavelengths.
Experts agree that methane leaked or vented from
natural gas operations is a real concern, yet estimated emission rates vary greatly 3/4 from 1 to 8 percent of total production.
As we look at the Obama administration's plan to impose new regulations on methane emissions from oil and
natural gas operations, some important points.
While oil and

natural gas operations.
