據(jù)世界石油2月23日消息稱，雪佛龍公司正試圖在得克薩斯州和科羅拉多州的五個油井上證明其能夠降低甲烷排放，這是該行業(yè)推動“負(fù)責(zé)任地獲取”天然氣的一部分。

這家能源巨頭正在為這些油井尋求環(huán)境評估公司Project Canary的獨立認(rèn)證，該公司將對這些油井的排放和其他環(huán)境方面的信息進(jìn)行審查和分析。這些油井同時生產(chǎn)石油和伴生天然氣。雪佛龍周三在一份聲明中表示，該公司還將在一些地點部署Project Canary的監(jiān)測設(shè)備。

包括埃克森美孚公司、殷拓公司和西南能源公司在內(nèi)的能源公司已經(jīng)紛紛證明，它們能夠在生產(chǎn)天然氣時降低甲烷的排放。甲烷是一種重要的溫室氣體排放源。

Chevron targets 5 U.S. well sites in project to curb emissions

Chevron Corp. is looking to show it can lower methane emissions at five oil well sites in Texas and Colorado as part of an industry push into “responsibly sourced” gas.

The energy giant is seeking independent certification at the sites from environmental assessment firm Project Canary, which will review and analyze information on emissions and other environmental aspects at the wells, which produce both oil and associated gas. Chevron will also deploy Project Canary’s monitoring devices at some locations, the company said Wednesday in a statement.

Energy companies including Exxon Mobil Corp., EQT Corp. and Southwestern Energy Co. have rushed to demonstrate they can produce gas with low resulting emissions of methane, a potent greenhouse gas contributor.
