Secretive state begins repairs on ageing facilities after being revealed as worst country for leaks of potent greenhouse gas

New analysis by MethaneSAT team suggests oil and gas operators emitting at roughly 9% methane intensity relative to San Joaquin basin’s marketed gas production.

Mitigating waste could help solve the world’s energy shortage.
