What is the new oil & gas coalition? Texas Methane and Flaring Coalition

Who? 7 state oil & gas industry associations + 40 Texas-based producing companies, including Permian Basin Petroleum Association

• a strong commitment to environmental progress
• showing that the industry is not backing away from seeking solutions to flaring and methane emissions
• develop industry-led solutions

The coalition will have 4 subgroups:

• identify, assess, and recommend opportunities and best practices to minimize methane emissions and flaring
• look at flaring and infrastructure, why and when flaring is necessary and communicating why and when it is necessary
• evaluate existing studies and summarize those findings to identify opportunities to implement best practices and, again, analyze ways to improve data for more accuracy and consistency
• communicating the coalition’s work with all stakeholders, from industry to legislators and regulators to the general public through its new website
