Enough methane gas leaks from pipelines between Permian wellheads and processing facilities to power 2.1 million homes, a study published Tuesday in Environmental Science and Technology Letters finds. The 213,000 metric tons of methane escaping from so-called gathering lines is 14 times higher than a previous EPA finding. The study represents the second finding that […]
