Federal government is relenting slightly on 𝗘𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗥𝗲𝗴𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 amid mounting pressure. ⚡ "Federal Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault has seemingly given a little bit of leeway on so-called ‘clean electricity’ regulations aimed at creating a net-zero grid by 2035. 🍁 Under a series of 10 tweaks announced Friday, grid operators would have more flexibility to address peak power needs and the use of ‘stand-by’ — or ‘on demand’ power sources such as natural gas — to “support the buildout of cleaner technologies” and a more flexible approach to cogeneration. ‘Cleaner’ facilities such as natural gas would be able to run longer than comparable coal units. 👏 🍁😯 The changes would also allow for the use of so-called ‘offsets’ for power plant operators who exceed a given limit “despite having acted in good faith to remain in compliance.” 🔗 https://ow.ly/afCG50QFTlN #carbonzero #naturalresources #conservation #renewableenergy Canadian Natural Resources Enbridge FortisBC Imperial Oil First Nations LNG Alliance Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers (CAPP) Indigenous Resource Network Mining Association of Canada

U.S. LNG projects CP2 & Commonwealth LNG are on hold as FERC demands more environmental reviews. Developers call it red tape; activists see it as a win. Meanwhile, U.S. LNG export dominance faces fresh uncertainty. #LNG #EnergyPolicy

The study finds this so it must be true. Easy. Let's just forget that Oil&Gas is a long-term business. If you explore a new oil&gas field today, you often won't be producing commercial flows of product before a decade is out. I am talking about conventional oil&gas. But if this study made an impact and then the world finds out that it does not have enough of it, it will need fast solutions. What's faster than conventional oil&gas? Yes, shale is much faster. Shale does in months what conventional often does in many years. When prices rise enough, shale drillers can squeeze the lemon far harder for quicker so the authors of this study have poured some virtual water on the wheel of shale. https://lnkd.in/dMgsZYQv

CCS could potential extend the lifespan of oilfields particularly in the enhanced oil recovery phase…

What’s the point of building renewables and “electrifying everything” inside our borders if we’re simultaneously generating ever increasing amounts of CO2 and methane via exports? It’s the same atmosphere, you know. https://lnkd.in/gXN-xjm4

The real facts on #LNG are in! In the last decade, as #oilandgas production increased by 345% in the Permian, methane emissions deceased by 76%. Learn more below ⤵️

Attendees at our packed out Perth Basin event earlier this year will have no doubt that the nature of the state's Domestic Gas Policy has been the cause of significant (quite hot) debate. So yesterday's announcement of a revision to the policy is the big news - or is it? It seems like it might be a case of trying so hard to please everyone that it pleases no one. Check out our article below and let us know what you think in the comments! #domesticgas #energyindustry https://lnkd.in/gqfD_N_Z

New Oxford Institute for Energy Studies publication: ANALYSING THE EU METHANE REGULATION: WHAT IS CHANGING, FOR WHOM AND BY WHEN? 👉 Link to the OIES Energy Insight: https://lnkd.in/eVgsTkdt 💠 On May 27th, the EU Council approved the #EU #Methane #Regulation, which is expected to come into force in July 2024 💠 This Regulation introduces new rules for: - measurement-based Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification (#MRV), - Leak Detection and Repair (#LDAR), and - limits on routine #venting and #flaring across the oil, gas, and coal supply chains 💠 The EU is the #first jurisdiction to set requirements for #fossilfuel imports, which will be implemented gradually from 2025 to 2030 to ensure that imports stay below the maximum #methane #intensity thresholds ✅ What is changing, for whom and by when? ✅ What can be said about the #missing #elements that are yet to be included in the Regulation via Delegated and Implementing Acts?  e.g. #methodology for the calculation of methane intensity of imports, and emission allocation methods between oil and gas products ✅ Does the Regulation meet the #expectations raised in the 2020 #EUMethaneStrategy concerning emissions from fossil fuel imports? 👉 All the answers and more in the OIES Energy Insight: https://lnkd.in/eVgsTkdt #OIESGas #methaneemissions #MRV #EUmethane #GlobalMethanePledge #LNG #oilandgas #coal #importstandard

When can we expect a decline in world oil production following a decline in US shale oil production? According to renowned US geologist and oil and gas expert Arthur Berman, within this decade, maybe already in 2-3 years!! In other words much sooner than most people think! So how about renewables! And why is US Shale oil production so important to understand for economic conditions in the near and long term? Join us for a really important conversation on the Evolution Show! And don´t miss part 1 where our focus is on the nearby decline in world natural gas production following the beginning of the end for the US Shale boom! Cheers!
