SUMMARY: Methane emissions from major oil and gas basins in the U.S. fell by 44% from 2011 to 2013, with a significant drop of up to 87% reported from 2019 to 2023, according to EPA data. Texas led this reduction, coinciding with record-breaking crude oil production. Emissions intensity, which measures methane emissions per barrel, has notably decreased, particularly in the Williston and Appalachian Basins. The Permian Basin saw a 32% reduction in methane emissions, with a dramatic 66% drop in flaring intensity since 2019. Texas could rank third globally in natural gas and fourth in oil production if it were a separate country.
