埃克森美孚正测试减少甲烷排放的新技术工业炉

据能源世界网4月10日报道，石油巨头埃克森美孚公司（Exxon Mobil Corp）周四表示，其正在对包括卫星监测在内的八种甲烷探测技术进行现场试验，以减少温室气体排放。

该公司表示，该试点项目正在德克萨斯州和新墨西哥州近1000个地点使用无人机、飞机、直升机、地面移动和固定位置传感器进行。

埃克森美孚上游石油天然气公司高级副总裁Staale Gjervik表示，我们将采取严谨的科学态度，并采取积极措施为所有运营商寻找可商业扩展且价格合理的解决方案。

该公司补充道，所有技术和部署方法将用于检测泄漏并确定可与其他石油和天然气运营商共享的解决方案。

上个月，美国最大的石油生产州德克萨斯州的数家石油和天然气公司及贸易协会组成了一个联盟，以开发和推荐解决方案，以最大程度地减少燃烧和甲烷排放。

埃克森美孚还呼吁加强对甲烷的监管，并提出了自己的内部规则，作为全世界公司和立法者的典范。

ExxonMobil tests new technologies to slash methane emissions

Oil major Exxon Mobil Corp said on Thursday it is conducting field tria任丘ls of eight methane detection technologies, including satellite monitoring, to cut down on greenhouse gas emissions.

The company said the pilot project is专业教育 being carried out at nearly 1,000 sites in Texas and New Mexico using drones, planes, helicopters, ground-b工业皮带ased mobile and fixed-position sensors.

"We are applying scientific rigor and taking aggressive steps to find commercially scalable and affordable solutions for all operators," said Staale Gjervik, senior vice president at ExxonMobil Upstream Oil and Gas Co.

All technologies and deployment methods will be used to detect leaks and identify solutions that can be shared with other oil and gas operators, the company added.

Last month, several oil and gas companies and trade associations in Texas, the biggest oil producing state in the United States, formed a coalition to develop and recommend solutions to minimize flaring and methane emissions.

Exxon Mobil had also called for tighter regulation of methane and offered up上网卡 its own in-house rules as a model for companies and lawmakers worldwide.
