Methane leaks from dormant oil and gas wells in Canada are seven times worse than thought, McGill study suggests

I’m not an oil guy, but since methane has its uses, would there not be a way to capture this gas and sell it?

“Than thought”
Man, I wonder where that “thought” came from

It’s a good bit of infrastructure to capture, compress, transport, and sell methane on the market. Since these are “non-producing” wells, I would assume that the leakage is (relatively) low and maybe not be worth the cost of all the setup and maintenance.

Looks like the cover to Supermassive Black Hole

The page seems down. Could someone forward the study to me

Seems to work for me, but here’s the direct link for the study https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs.est.4c05602

A more correct title would be “7 to 8 times more than originally reported”

Turns out that all the site for McGill don’t want me to enter

Just put a methane generator on them and sell the power onto the grid. Its what many landdfills do with their methane.

Lots of industries just flare it when the winds are blowing the right way, ie: downwind of any Environment Canada sensors.

Who is going to prison over that?
