Original: A New Way to Monitor Methane from Abandoned Wells
Researchers have unveiled a new technique for monitoring methane leaks from abandoned oil and gas wells, a long-overlooked source of greenhouse gas emissions. Millions of orphaned wells worldwide are believed to leak methane, but tracking them has been difficult and costly. The method promises cheaper, more reliable detection, drawing interest from climate scientists and regulators focused on curbing emissions.
Why now: Growing urgency around methane's role in climate change is driving interest in better ways to detect leaks from abandoned wells
